Chewy hand-ripped noodles, cumin-lamb hits, and quick counter service make this a dependable, spicy comfort stop near Columbia, with minor grease and seating constraints.
Why this grade
Xi'an Famous Foods earns its A- grade through exceptional hand-ripped noodle quality and fast, attentive service that define fast-casual excellence. Limited seating and tight quarters prevent higher grades, while occasional variability in oil and spice levels keeps execution from grade A territory. For authentic Xi'an street fare near campus at generous portions and fair prices, it's a neighborhood standout.
One caveat: Seating is limited; plan off-peak for dine-in comfort
