Xi'an Famous Foods | Clarendon VA

An absolute standout in Clarendon! The ordering process is smooth with their two self-serve kiosks, making for an exceptionally fast and seamless service. As for the food, the cold noodles are incredibly refreshing in a punchy chili-oil sauce, and pairing them with the silky, comforting savory tofu custard makes for the ultimate meal. Highly recommend!

Visited during what seemed to be their soft opening after seeing the location listed as open on Google. Totally understand limited menus or some chaos early on, but the experience was very confusing. There was a sign saying “closed for private event,” yet the restaurant was full and people were lining up and ordering like normal. We joined the line, but a staff member at the counter waved us off from a distance and told us they were closed and to leave. It would really help if the sign included specific dates or clearer details. Their social media also made it seem like business as usual, which is why we came. Having someone at the door to direct people would make a big difference. For a well-known chain, this felt surprisingly disorganized and amateur.
