Xi'an is home to some of the best street food in China - with a huge muslim population that eats only halal food, with tons of beef and lamb, noodles, and more, as well as a large Han Chinese population that has it's own distinct Chinese cuisine. Each cuisine has unique recipes and we are showing you how the cooking is done on the street!
Some of the famous Street Food in Xi'an, China is shown in this street food vlog by myself (Trevor James, The Food Ranger).
In this Xi'an series, we're bringing you to try some of the best street food in Xi'an.
In my opinion, Xi'an is a true street food HEAVEN. You can find tons of Islamic Chinese halal food like SPICY lamb kebabs, biang biang noodles, spicy and nutty liangpi jelly noodles, spinach noodles, roujiamo Chinese pita burgers with beef or lamb, and han style roujiamo burgers made with pork as well, along with sweet desserts with dates and ingredients commonly found further west.
I hope that you enjoy this full street food tour of Xi'an. This is just part 1. You're going to love the food if you visit here! Xi'an is a true Chinese street food lovers heaven! You can eat so much, and I always miss the city after I leave. There is just so much food to try! You have to come here to eat!
I also really love the variety of Xi'an noodles you can try. In this street food vlog, we sample the famous spinach noodles, but there is so much more, like Xi'an biang biang noodles, and yangroupaomo rice noodles with beef as well.

HUGE THANKS to ExpressVPN for offering all Food Ranger viewers 3 months free and 49% off their yearly package using this link: ExpressVPN.com/Thefoodranger . Travelers need ExpressVPN to stay safe online and to unblock any site. I personally use it for Netflix, even while at home in Canada, but also while traveling to unblock content and episodes that are geoblocked, and I also use it for security, because airport wifi and hotel wifi is often very insecure, leaving my data vulnerable. By connecting to one of their servers around the world, it’s just like my computer or phone is in that location, and all data sent while connected to their VPN is secure, safe, and private from others to see, so I know that my data won’t be hacked or looked at by others. Thanks so much for watching, and we have tons more videos coming up for you! Please leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought about this episode, thanks so much!!!
I wonder how types of places like that you never hear of diabetes.....but in places like North Carolina and other towns you hear of people with diabetes constantly. To me .....the places you visit seems like they have the greatest food in the world but yet the healthiest all at the same time sometimes. We eat way to many starches around my towns. Same foods all the time. I'm been here 36 years and its same food all the time around here. You even go in the grocery store same meats and same can goods, same pastas🤣🤣🤣🤣 we have to put out country thinking caps on big time round here and really cook country to different foods. Maybe because we live here we just get tired of eating same stuff 🤣🤣 I'd love to go to places like that one day.
That lady from the second place was pure class. She really looked so hospitable while saying relatively little.
And she wiped the dish clean of excess sauce before serving it! Classy.
Koko this is totally Chinese culture like the old saying says: do more and say less . She just traditional Chinese woman
Did you see him toss sesame oil onto it with fucking chopsticks tho? He's like mr miyagi
She looks like a typical Chinese mum who will not let you leave the house without a good meal:)
It's so amazing how you learned Chinese to really immerse yourself in the Chinese culture! Chinese is a hard language to learn and it's very appreciated how you took that extra step!
Are you learning Chinese?
never say Chinese is hard, otherwise people dare to learn, actually it is just one of the human language.everybody can manage.
Jacklyn Sun As a Chinese student, I find English difficult too
please, its basic conversational chinese
Eugene Won Jae Kim but he still went out of his way to learn the language just for this experience and for that he deserves some recognition
watching these videos makes me feel as though i’m traveling with you! i don’t think i’ll be able to travel the world anytime soon, so this is the next best thing. your videos are absolutely amazing to watch, and really inspire me and make me smile.
The way this is edited and the cinematography, the way you speak to the locals, your
excitement about food and your tolerance of chilli oil…just pulls me in to watch every single time.
Hands down my favourite travel/food channel to watch!
Oh. My. God. Those spinach noodles look AMAZING
They are! Go to Xian! One of the best cities for a mixing pot of culture within China
👍☮️
I make homemade spinach fettuccine he did a fantastic job of those noodles
this channel is so wholesome, its so nice to just watch friendly locals speak to you with such passion about their dishes.
Thanks so much Matthew, glad you enjoy it!!
You're keeping Anthony Bourdain's dream alive by doing what you do. Don't ever stop! :)
detroitplaya1004 please!! Anthony had more than talking about food and eating the man had a real philosophy for culture and politics. Nice try I am a real fan of his. This guy is cool in his own way 😎
Anthony bourdain was also a degenerate junky drug addict and coward who took the easy way out, leaving behind a teenage daughter. Zero respect for your idol.
@@mal-a.6888 yeah I bet that teenage daughter would appreciate your comment. You obviously knew him on a level where you knew exactly what he was feeling. He had a lot of flaws, but did good, too. You however, come off as completely classless.
You realize i was replying to someone who came in and was critiquing the uploader. He was implying he should try and be more like Anthony Bourdain which is what I found funny and obviously why i mentioned what I did. Thanks for judging me without knowing me, sorry my valid observation regarding the truth offended you. Maybe the internet isn't for you.
@@mal-a.6888 dik head
Hi from Japan! Awesome video as usual! Keep it up!
Wow! Those hand cut noodle looks absolutely amazing. Yup, there’s something mesmerizing and very appreciative about watching noodle flatten and cut by hand.
I loved this video. I think the most important thing about eating food is that it brings all sorts of people together to have the same experience. Watching the noodles being made was awesome and very educational. Trevor I really admire your ability to respectfully fit anywhere in the world. I hope you and Ting are doing well
Just loved the way he made the spinach noodle dough and then came the CUTTING. The cutting was so precise. The dough looks very similar to a Japanese dish named MOCHI
OH MY!!! YES!!! Just know bro youre loved by many and you and your partner do really well with the filming and editing and interacting with the locals. thank you both for taking your passion in visiting other cultures.i love china too it looks so warm and welcoming to foreigners.
Wow halal Chinese food! This place is gonna be my next bucket list! And the people are so friendly too! Thanks for the video Trevor!
Thanks so much!!
China is where we want to go next, great video, thanks
welcome to Harbin my hometown！
welcome to china
Mai bhi aau?
I’m traveling to Xi’an, Beijing, and Shanghai on November and your videos make me even more excited. I’ll definitely try all these delicious foods!
Just love watching your videos. Your Chinese has improved so much, you converse easily, which for your restaurant hosts, is honourable. Good job. Your fans are everywhere!! Including here 🇨🇦
SMH, I broke my #1 rule about watching Trevor on an empty stomach! I'm waiting for chicken to thaw, and now I want noodles. Those spinach noodles look amazing, and the way he cut them so quickly and precisely was art. Great video, guys!
You know, I enjoy watching dumplings! I feel hungry now 😭 The flavor should be out of world and the noodles were like a romance for my eyes. Trevor, thank you 👏
I don't think dogs are tasty
I really appreciate your humble attitude to the locals, they are an essential part to all of your food videos! I wish you the very best continuing your food journey!
I have to say, just watching this you learn alot of their food culture so trevor thank you and never stop doing what you do best! Greetings from the netherlands!
Most highly rated episode, nothing below 9
10/10 gonna visit
"Dont mix it"
Instantly mixes it LMAO
you can tell he was really confused why he couldn't mix it LUL
It's a natural thing to mix it so that you get to taste everything in one bite.
mix it, there is just one taste, no mix, there are many levels taste on your tongue
because the noodles would be broken and smashed if you mix it
you got the point.... mixed then everywhere in the bowl tastes same.... no mixed, where there is more sesame tastes more nutty, where there is more chilli oil tastes more fragrance spicy, where there is more vinegar tastes more woody sour...at least, your tongue won't get bored.
Hope you guys enjoy the video!

My family stayed in the hostel right across the street from the spinach noodle restaurant back in April. His bowl of noodles were amazing. For him to put so much work into the noodles everyday was inspiring. The guy is amazing and we wish him the best. Hope everyone who sees this video will seek out his place in Xi'an.
Food is Love, and Trevor you and your Fiancee break barriers to basic simplicity of joy. xoxoxo

I hope you guys are all doing well, and I hope you enjoy this full street food tour of Xi'an, China! Watch until the end to enjoy the making of Xi'an Spinach noodles! This is just part 1, we have part 2 and 3 coming soon! Please let me know what you thought about this video as well! Thanks a lot for watching and being a part of the foodrangin' community! I know a lot of us are feeling sad because of Anthony's passing! He was the hero of the food world who inspired many, including myself. It's something I'm still trying to comprehend, and I'm speechless. This is really tough.
The Food Ranger Must try Pakistani street food 👈👈😘
The Food Ranger thank you bruddah
The Food Ranger that first roll you had my mouth was just watering! Anyways have a great trip!
The Food Ranger thoughts are with you.
The Food Range
The cutting of spinach noodles was so satisfying
I really appreciate your friendliness and respect to the locals. Most chinese people are not super friendly - it's a cultural thing but you can tell they're going out of their comfort zone to accommodate you and are also pleasantly enjoying the chance to show their skills and observe your total adorableness!. Loving your videos!
Always love your stuff. Your almost childlike glee and enthusiasm is very infectious and of course when you take that first bite we all can see how good it is. Keep up the good work.
you are one of those food lovers who will continue the life left by Anthony B.... stay,stay happy Trevor as we continue watching more of your food videos
Great people, great country, great dishes. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks a lot Josip!!
Maybe I am weird, but I REALLY am impressed with those with good knife skills. And, nothing makes me cringe more than watching someone who does not.
It was beautiful to watch.
You are not weird at all, you are just as weird as I am , Maybe we could go out together sometimes ...
In fact ,it's commom for people with good knife skills in China.
I love seeing people with good knife skills.
dude! come to Taiwan to do food videos, I spent an entire week and had the best time ever doing a Taipei guide. You'll love the food!!
what im really impressed is how much he ate in a day for all of this videos
that noodle dish at 7:00 mark. that thing look so spicy my tongue would probably fall off. the english and chinese subtitles really makes your videos accessible to many. nice job.
Wow, the color of those noodles out of the water is so vibrant. The making of them was awesome too.
I have many students I teach online from there. Its great for me to see the city. Thanks Trevor..!!
Hi Anthony!! Thanks so much!!!
Never thought I would want go to china for halal food but maaaaaaan this looks so good🤤 InShaAllah I will get the chance to visit one day.
Xian is definitely on my bucket list now. Thanks Trevor for a once again lovely and beautiful video.
Thanks so much!!!
Food looks so good😭 and then precision on the cuts on the noodles are just😧👏
I searched up Xi'An because I had thought you and Ting already went here. I was thinking of your Lanzhou video.
China is such a complex nation, so many foods! Thank you Trevor and Ting!
Everytime I eat whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner I have to watch the food ranger while I eat!!
Hi!!! So glad to know!!!
What I love about your travels is that there are no franchise restaurants, just beautiful local places. I'm stuck with Applebee's, TGIFridays, McDonald's.... so sad.
Emily Fulton 😭😭😭😭😭
Actually, McDonald's, KFC, Pizza hut in China which has special Chinese favour dishes which are also really nice
Jed Lee What kind of special Chinese dishes do they have??
My family took me too China when I was 9 years old. I had no interest in Chinese food at that age except for chicken chow mein and egg fried rice 😂. I really want to go back now but I don't have much money haha. That's life!
I just love how EVERYONE in this video looks at you so AMAZED once you start busting out in Mandarin.. LOVE IT
I am so satisfied when the Chinese are impressed by you speaking their language.
Some truly unique food, great footage.
Omg I sooooo miss the Xi'an food!!!! Especially Xi'an Muslim food!!!! Tai hao la!!!! XD
Tai hao le!!!
Buddy it's so healthy and beautiful food. Thanks for the video mate.
Ikr, Chinese food is my favorite. I am mixed by Indonesian and Chinese. My mom is Chinese and my Dad is Indonesian
As a Chinese, i'm very shocked at how good your Chinese is. I'm so glad that you took the effort to actually learn Chinese because most people go to China, expecting them to at least know some simple English. (i mean, every where tourists go, they'd expect simple English to get them through everything) So good job man!
Why am I watching this at midnight. Its torture.
I also am hungry
Watch it during ramadhan 🤣
Hahaha
Fasting is not only mandatory for muslims but it was made compulsory for Jews n Christians but not like 1 month ,only few important days ..like for Jews saturday was the blessed ,they used to keep fast on that day ...
Damn staving dude
I miss Xi'an food so much. My wife grew up there before moving to Australia
Good to see you revisiting Xian, and it still is fresh and untainted from years elsewhere. If I had those noodles and dumplings I think I would go back too. Cheers
I have been to Xian and the street in the opening scene is where we lived, in a lovely old little charming hotel with access down a narrow alley.
Thank you for making such a wonderful video, Trevor. You made my day. This coming weekend we are flying to Xi'an from Boston. We can't wait to try food there and in Chengdu as well. I took notes down.
Craving Chinese halal food... Its hard to find it here... Keep it coming..
I’m going home to Guangdong and my grandparents in Shanghai from college!
So hyped for the food.
And the weight gain.
why don't you go outside of chinah like marke winkes its very boring to see everyday same food
Are you working in US?
I was born and raised in XI`an, still living here, and I can not even handle LU ZHI LIXANG FEN. GOOD REVIEW of my hometown. Thank you for promoting my city.
Watching him cut the spinach noodles was the most satisfying thing I’ve seen in any food vlog 😍
I WAS WAITING FOR THISS!! I love it when you do halal street food videos ;-;
haha thanks so much!!!
The real deal of Chinese Dish.🤯🤯🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As a local xi'an citizen, i feel shamed that never tried the 红米糕. I'll go tomorrow.
那写的江米糕吧………
So what do you think about it ?
The chef that made the spinach noodles is truly a master at his art. I bet you can put a micrometer to each one of those and you wouldn’t find much of a difference. Awesome video Trevor.
This excellent episode is packed with superb presentation of craftsmanship, superb visuals and very gracious presentation of some superb human beings.
this guy's living the dream
Keep it up I always support you and love from India
I am sooo in love with your Food videos!!😍😍 keep going!!

You made me want to go to China and have this food dream come true! @TrevorJames, China and chinese street food got added into my bucket list because of you! Much love 💖❤😍😘
I’m salivating. That’s was one of the best noodle dishes ever. I will try making it for sure. More like assembling it.
hope you will succeed
Can you cut noodles like that man?
I made that noodle for my husband on our first date, he wanted to marry me at that moment.
Good morning Trevor and Ting! Mmmmm... The street foods look fantastic and delicious! The spinach noodle restaurant is modern and clean! I do love those big ceramic bowls! They are excellent! If you are eating any kind of pastas and soups!👍🌶🍜🍝🍘🌯🍙
Thanks so much Young!!
长乐，you just reply →_→ in bilibili, lol
This is pure food heaven man, thank you for tagging us along on your mouth watering journey in to ancient Tang capital!!!
This is carbohydrate heaven here! Starch on starch. Healthy & great for endurance athletes. I love it! Thank you, Trevor & Ting Ting! You are most knowledgeable to write books on contemporary Chinese & Asian noodles.
😂the way you were treating the dumpling babies so rough my heart was crying cuz I felt you would break them by stiring them so hard .
I shouldnt have watched this at midnight. looks so good 😭
I hope you enjoy the video Alya!!!
:), I’ve done that before. Falling asleep with a growling stomach isn’t easy. Everything in this episode look sooooooo tasty!
Amazing. spinach noodles its looks very testy☺☺☺
So tasty!!!
That spinach noodles 🍜 definitely should be one of the best food I've ever seen in my life. Amazing.
Its my first time watching your videos and as a chinese myself i’m really amazed by how fluent your Chinese is!
Never stop making these videos sir
I give this video 10/10, perfect!
10:58 the definition of beauty
I just went to Xi'an last week. It's wonderful. Although we didn't spend too much much time looking for food during the day, at night, the food was the same as the one on the video.
nice video with the spinach noodle making
My friend is married to a Chinese guy from Xian. Apparently spinach noodles are a staple in their home. She learned to make them from her mother in law.
Nombre Apellido where are u from
You are my Favorite Food TH-camr
Every thumbs down was from an individual in a food rehab clinic that serves oatmeal 3 times a day. Great videos and love the cultural interaction you provide.Im american and you make Canada and all North Americans proud of your ability to convey "FOOD HEALS ALL" type of ambassadorship to a people that dont know our media demonises them. usa has to have enemies to keep the war machine going .Wish Trump and the leaders of the world would all follow your example and enjoy a bowl of fresh noodles with a neighbor lol.
Another mind blowing experience of Xi'An street food. Thank you so much Trevor for the lovely work! Next time def will go to Xi'An for the food appreciation.
Those spinach noodles look AMAZING
Hey trevor, i love your videos. I was wondering if you would consider trying a comparison type sort or Worth It style video? Like pick a really good dish and compare them at different price points? A lot of dishes are like 1 or 2 american $. You can compare it to a 5-10ish or 10-15ish. And then a really fancy like 30+$ one maybe?
jarobi sellton good idea!
Just continue watching buzzfeed and you'll be alright
Hee Sing Sia buzzfeed is probably sponsored by the restaurants and just forced out content. I want to know the worth of spending more or less money when travelling
jarobi sellton that's the point... regular food costs $2-3 there. The same dish at $5-10 would mean getting it at a very posh restaurant and frankly speaking, even a billionaire there would not fork out $30 for a bowl of sui jiao as that would be absurd.
Not true though. I regularly have 10 US dollar bowl of dumplings in Shenzhen. It's all about the location and how fancy the restaurant is. For dumplings, the lobster filling ones will run you a lot more expensive as well.
太好了，爱你永远支持你
Im really impressed by your mandarin! Nice video!
best food blog out there so good man
that gooey sticky rice cake, the dumpling, those spinach noodles *SO GOOD*
I'm putty ng spinch in my next pot of pasta in tribute to this video
