Couple years ago, 21 years old Jason Wang graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor’s degree in business. After that moment, he refused to a good job opportunity offered by Target instead of turning into his family food business. Xi’an famous food which is now a family-run business with no outside investors[5], located in different areas in New York City and serving the little-Known cuisine of their hometown, XiAn, which is one of the oldest city in china, with more than 3100 years of history.

The restaurant started in 2006 as a 200-square-foot basement stall in Flushing, Queens, run by his father. David Shi. [6] Jason’s father often call himself “liangpi” and his son “xiaoliang” like a nickname of “liangpi”. Because “liangpi” is a famous and specialty dish originating from the Chinese province of XiAn, is a noodle-like Chinese dish made from wheat or rice flour, and it is now not only spread to many other places in China and also worldwide. [7] Jason said that opened the restaurant was not deciding to make money at that moment; it because his father felt like there were people like his father who missed the cuisine in their hometown; it is to offer a taste of home to own ethnic communities, and then it became the food we made and sold fortunately nowadays. Up to now, as a tiny basement has now expanded to seven locations in N.Y. Jason works with his father to serve locals with authentic family recipes, from hand-ripped “biangbiang” noodles seared in hot to fire-hued lamb burgers. [8]

“We’re going to keep it pure, because that’s what people are coming to us for,” Jason said like an objectives of operation.[9] Although, the Xi’An famous foods is very popular in New York City, normally, the signature dishes as spicy cumin lamb or stewed pork burger sold only for 3 dollars even less than a hamburger, and a big bow of beef noodle soup sold under 8 dollars, so by conservative estimate, stores opened in Manhattan will attract 140 thousands consumers during weekdays of each week which means stores would make a profit of hundred and ten thousands US dollars at least in a year. [10] Expansion-minded entrepreneur Jason Wang is going to open the eighth Xi’an Famous Foods this summer, at 328 East 78th Street on the Upper East Side. [11] The ability to move easily between cultures and codes has helped Mr. Wang steer his father’s restaurant from a tiny Flushing basement to the East Village and beyond. [12]
