Noodle rush hour in Rockville

Xi’an Famous Foods opened without any fanfare on Rockville Pike last week — and it didn’t take long for fans of the restaurant’s “hand-ripped” noodles to start lining up at the door. This is the first Maryland location for the family-owned business, which started in New York and gained national attention when it was featured on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. Now in the midst of an East Coast/DMV expansion, Xi’an is best known for its noodles but also offers signature dishes like stewed pork burgers, spicy cumin lamb burgers and spicy-and-sour lamb dumplings. You’ll find Xi’an at the Montrose Crossing shopping center, in the former Boardroom Salon space between Rasa and Five Guys.
