Untypical Chinese restaurant

Jason Wang, now 25, was born in X'ian, China.  He is now co-owner and operator with his father of X'ian Famous Foods in New York. Holding a business degree from Washington University in St. Louis, he spends 13 hours a day on his feet making noodles, taking orders, and keeping the store going.

Their food is not the Cantonese style that Americans have known for decades, but a distinct style that comes from Northern China.  Authenticity, moderate prices, and a handle on both Chinese and American tastes have made the place popular.  Jason's business training seems to be guiding his choices regarding their future growth and the decision to eschew franchising.
