Xi'an Famous Foods first became, um, famous back in the mid aughts, with the original tiny stall in Flushing's Golden Shopping Mall. Next came another, even smaller, storefront in Manhattan's Chinatown.

Question is, has this rapid expansion effected the quality of the food, or is Xi'an Famous still one of the best cheap eats spots in all of NYC?
