Disappointed diners have learned that the popular Xi'an Famous Foods at 81 St. Mark's Place is closed for renovations.
@evgrieve Did you see that Xian Famous is closed for renovations? I went there yesterday and saw another shocked would-be patron. Horrible!
— Adrianne Jeffries (@adrjeffries) March 20, 2014Their official message via Facebook:
Our East Village store will be CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS starting Monday (3/17)!
We hope to be back up and running in 3-4 weeks, with a few more seats and a more open kitchen!
In the meantime, head to our nearby Chinatown spot, open regular hours.
And this is a legit "closed for renovations," not one of those stop-gap messages to help the proprietor hustle out of town.
Xi’an CEO Jason Wang has ambitious plans to expand his growing noodle empire, with possible locations in Boston and Washington, D.C.
Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!! My Stewed Pork Hand-Ripped Noodles - the Chinatown branch's don't taste as good, I swear!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the spicy cumin lamb...
ReplyDeleteI went in on Sunday night for some spicy cumin lamb noodles (no broth). Later on I read on the website they were closing for renovations the next day. So I managed to get in under the wire by coincidence. During the temporary closure, I'll be checking out their midtown branch as an alternative.
ReplyDeleteFlushing. In the warren that is The Golden Shopping Mall, they are there. I like that location for the food. Whatever you do, though, don't look too closely of the floor as you walk between the stalls.
ReplyDeleteThey also another restaurant in Flushing called Biang. It's much of the same menu with some additions. Definitely more of a sit down restaurant experience.
