Alexandria, VA – Xi’an Famous Foods, the celebrated New York City chain known for its hand-ripped noodles and bold chili oil, has quietly opened a ghost kitchen at 1033 W. Glebe Rd. This marks the brand’s first foray into the D.C. area, offering takeout-only service through online ordering and delivery apps.

Famous for their chewy, springy noodles pulled to order and fiery, complex sauces made in a central kitchen, Xi’an’s signature dishes have earned a cult following—including praise from the late Anthony Bourdain.

In addition to their noodle and dumpling dishes, jars of the brand’s house-made chili oil and crisp are also available for purchase.
