First timers here.. I was surprised at how small the place was lol. So we both got their soupy noodle. And all I could taste was salt and the chili oil. There was no bold beefy soup broth. But the appetizer was delicious ?. And customer service was attentive. So maybe we'll give this spot another chance. Need to try more to actually compare.
I will get the negative out of the way first. The establishment was dirty, especially the restroom and the service was slow. Now, the best part of eating here was trying freshly handmade noodles. The soup served is a decent portion. I ordered the Chinese hamburger; plain and simple, no taste. The overall experience was alright. I doubt I’ll come back and visit for another try
Just LOVED my street noodles. They were spicy even though I ordered them mild. Fresh noodles are THE BEST!
Just like most of the Yelpers who left their positive reviews here, I also highly recommend this restaurant.Although the flavor of the beef noodle soup was not exactly like the ones in Lan Zhou in Western China, I would say this is very very close to it.Back in Lan Zhou, beef noodle soup is considered a stable for the masses. They eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are very popular street food. Some of the street vendors leave their beef soup simmer all year long. Some of the soups have been boiling for years.It’s rear nowadays to find restaurants still hand pulled their noodles. With hand pulling the noodles, the cooked noodles become very chewy and tasty. That’s why they are so popular.Since I was here for lunch alone, I ordered the lunch combo which included the popular beef noodle, a soft drink, and a braised egg. I too loved the food here. With a bit of spicy kick, the whole bowl of noodle became very delicious.Parking is a bit of a problem as Lan Noodle is collocated with many popular restaurants in the same mall.
I'm really glad we decided to check out this place.The freshly kneaded and pulled Lanzhou noodles has a distinct bite to it. The noodle soup broth is incredibly tasty. Their house-made chilli oil sauce pairs perfectly with their dishes.
Lanzhou beef noodle is super fragrant and comforting. The hand pulled noodle were amazing, so chewy and fresh. Beef was also tender.And the Chinese burger was delicious too, even though I didn’t like the strong smells of the lamb.
The food and service was excellent.. the kids liked it too. I especially liked my spicy beef Lan noodle and the 'Chinese burger'. It reminds me of a Shanghainese dish my grandmother used to make (but spicier).The fried rice was simple and clean tasting for the kids.. there were no leftovers that night ?
Had some business in Arcadia, so went to the top restaurant recommended in Yelp.When we got there, the line was out the door and I was debating whether we wanted to wait. Saw on the sign-up sheet there really weren't that many groups before us, so decided to stay. There are not a lot of tables, so it's really luck of the draw. We kept ourselves entertained by watching the noodle chef stretch noodles, so time passed by quickly.We decided to sit outside since it wasn't that cold, and placed our order relatively quickly after sitting down. I ordered the beef noodle soup with thin noodles and low spice level. Noodles came out after some time and it was so fragrant and delicious! I am impressed they got all the ingredients correctly even with the crowd. The low spice level was more like medium level, but I am ok with it and really enjoyed the taste. The beef chunks was a little chewy, but overall it was a satisfying bowl of noodle soup.Will definitely return if I'm in the area again!
This will be a favorite! Noodles are being made to your liking (flat, round,etc.). The spicy sauce?️ is just right. Recommend you sign- in inside when you get there. We have had to wait to be seated but worth the wait. Small place.
Handmade noodles to die for! Very well prepared and the flat noodle was chewy and tangy. Ordered the Chow Mein with shrimp. Had a bit of a zesty/minty aftertaste.
