Xi'an Famous Foods Wants to Expand to Boston

New York City cult favorite Xi'an Famous Foods could open in Boston within five years, reports Boston.com's Restaurant Hub via DNAinfo New York. Founded almost a decade ago, it's now an eight-restaurant chain with the latest opening on New York's Upper East Side.

Xi'an is a city in northwest China, and hand-pulled noodles in a spicy oil are one of the region's distinctive dishes. Around Boston, one of the only places to find Xi'an cuisine, including hand-pulled noodles, is at Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe, which now has a location in the Leather District in addition to its original Chelmsford spot (and a cult following of its own).
