This marks the brand's return to the East Village. The EV outpost at 81 St. Mark's Place closed in early March 2020 when the lease came up for renewal. (Xi'an opened at 139 Fourth Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street in May 2024.)
Xi'an is taking over the space that last housed Taqueria Diana. (RIP June 2025.)
The chainlet of quick-serve hand-pulled noodle shops has multiple NYC locations... and has expanded into a few other states.
Company CEO Jason Wang's father, David Shi, got his start in a small food stall in Flushing, a business that became popular after an Anthony Bourdain endorsement.

Yay! Woohoo! Huzzah!
Lovely news, though I will bitterly miss the Taqueria Diana nachos...
It is noodles with hot sauce and maybe a shred of meat. Been to the one in Chelsea enough to know.
Hip, hip, hooray!
Bring back the lamb's face dish PLEASE!!!!!!!!
I still remember my first plate of spicy lamb noodles in flushing. One bite I was addicted.
Yassss
This has one of my fave dishes to eat in NYC. Not sure if I should be terrified or elated that I live across the street...
