"If you're looking for a very solid, under-$20 lunch in Downtown Brooklyn, stop by Xifu. They make Shaanxi dishes like flaky rougamo stuffed with chopped pork, turqouise-tinged dumplings, and a great spread of noodle dishes. They also serve something we've never seen before: a burrito, using a griddled flour tortilla, that's loaded with stir-fried pork and julienned cucumbers. It won't be going on our best burrito guide anytime soon, but it's a fun and fusiony thing that kind of works."
"It's also under $10 and makes for a nice break from a corporate salad for lunch. The space is very simple, and they're often frying chillies, which can get caught in the back of your throat if you take too deep a breath. These are frankly green flags for us, but the food works just as well if you want to spread elsewhere."
Xifu in Downtown Brooklyn serves Shaanxi dishes including flaky rougamo stuffed with chopped pork, turquoise-tinged dumplings, and a variety of noodle preparations. The restaurant offers solid lunch options for under $20, and a playful fusion item: a griddled flour-tortilla burrito filled with stir-fried pork and julienned cucumbers, priced under $10. The burrito is unconventional and not billed as a classic, but functions as an enjoyable alternative to typical corporate salads. The dining space is very simple. Staff frequently fry chillies, producing sharp heat that can linger in the throat. The overall food quality holds up well.
