This place is phenomenal in every aspect. The food is very authentic, flavorful, and all items are reasonably priced. I tried out their food on Oct. 3 and again on the 9th. The first time I did a take out and the second time I did a dine-in. It is THAT delicious that I needed to create a Yelp account to write my review for them...read full review

Bites of Xian 88 西府小吃 is a small, no-frills restaurant located in the UES Yorkville 90th street area, offering a quick and tasty taste of Xi'an cuisine. The restaurant features a handful of tables and a simple, unadorned decor, making it a straightforward spot for a casual meal. The menu includes various dishes such as cumin lamb over hand-pulled noodles, dumplings, and the highly recommended roujiamo (Chinese burgers), which are praised for their incredible flakiness and are considered the best roujiamo in the city. The hot seared chili noodles are also noted as perfection.
Customers enjoy the food's freshness and rapid preparation, with fried dumplings being a standout favorite. The crispy burger with pork impressed many with its flaky bun and a good balance of lean and fatty pork, bringing a taste reminiscent of Xi'an in China. Noodles, such as buckwheat noodles, have a unique texture that some initially found unusual but grew to like. While some dishes, like the beef burger, can be dry and less flavorful—possibly due to visiting close to closing time—others like the pork burger and noodles are flavorful and satisfying. The restaurant offers a good balance between quick bites and full meals at great prices. Overall, Bites of Xian 88 provides a clean and friendly environment with quality, made-fresh food that captures the essence of Xi'an cuisine.
