Manhattan Hand-Ripped Noodles With Spicy Cumin Lamb

Xian Famous Foods serves Manhattan hand-ripped noodles with intense Northwest Chinese seasoning at 129 2nd Ave. What began as a street cart now operates as a family-run fixture celebrated for wide ribbons tossed in chili oil, cumin lamb burgers, and savory dumplings. The proprietary chili oil blends more than thirty ingredients, creating a layered heat that lands with immediate power across every plate.

Diners who prefer a gentler meal can dial down the heat to protect the underlying cumin and savory broth. Pairing the wide strands with spicy lamb, tender stewed beef, and chilled chrysanthemum tea creates a satisfying balance of textures. The casual counter space operates daily from half past eleven in the morning until half past nine at night, giving noodle lovers a steady downtown stop for bold regional classics.
