Pretty excellent soup broth! I ordered the Classic Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles with Small Flat Noodles. I was shocked by how well the noodles were able to soak up the flavorful broth. Very hearty and filling, the beef slices were so tender and the noodles weren't too doughy! I definitely recommend the flat noodles, and you can watch the noodle chef prepare the noodles and knead dough in the open kitchen as well. That's as fresh as it gets!I will note that the amount of chili oil they add is not consistent across the board. It was quite noticable that my broth was significantly more red than others at my table.They also advertise at their front door that they are featured in the Michelin Guide, so that's pretty note worthy!KEEP IN MIND: Indoor dining only, or you can order on their self service kiosk for takeout! Most tables inside are suited for parties of 6 people or less. You may need to consult with the hostess if you plan to bring a lot of people.
I really enjoyed the food here! I got the medium round Lanzhou hand pulled noodles. My friend got the wide noodles in the beef and pickled vegetable broth which were also good. I really liked the appetizers too like the pig ear, basil chicken, fried bread, and especially the wonton in chili oil. The chili oil here isn't very spicy so don't worry if you don't have a high spice tolerance. Food also arrived super fast.
Ordering for takeout is a pain. Kiosk was a bit difficult to use. No confirmation on the order through text. No call or anything that it was ready.Food itself was ok/good. A bit too spicy for my tastebuds. You do need to make sure that if you do do takeout, the noodles will get stuck together and might not taste as good. I would assume dining in would be a better experience.Parking relatively easy.
The hand pulled noodles are excellent and the flavor of the broth is excellent, though I would’ve prefer the temperature of the broth to be hotter.Dining is in door only. Service was prompt. Tables were decently spaced out.I would come back again to try the rest of the menu.
Very delicious Lanzhou Noodles, and lots of different noodle types to choose. I’ve been to Lanchou and it tastes pretty much similar! Love the broth and the spice in it!
Good flavors. ? Noodles are chewy and freshly made.No lines at this location.
Came here on a Saturday night at 5:15 and there was no wait so this was a super great and fast experience. I've been wanting to come here for a while now so I'm glad that I could come.Good:The place has many noodle options and the food comes out quickly after you order from a QR code.I really liked my chili oil wide noodle dish - it was tasty and wasn't actually that spicy so my weak spice tolerance could still handle it. It was also just so tasty and I was surprised at how tasty it was given the limited ingredients. The wide noodles are so chewy.I also really liked the chili wontons since they had a similar taste as the chili oil noodles.Bad:The noodles are so long that you have to cut it up a bit yourself because if you took a whole noodle, it would be so long that it gets a bit messy.The stewed lamb noodles are a bit bland.Overall would come again! I really love noodles and this place delivered on yummy noodles and great texture and fast service.
Tasted very authentic. They can have noodles with different thickness. It helps me to recall memory of Lanzhou beef noodles.
Fresh noodles with many choices (round, flat, different sizes), lamb was excellent with cumin, dried and fresh chilies, soup was clear and tasty
Just had a great meal from Lanzhou noodles down in Arcadia, and passed by this restaurant. Decided to see if my local one is as good as the one in SoCal.I was able to walk in to a table that just opened up. The waitress took my order while we waited for the table to be wiped down. I got their signature beef noodle dish. As for the thinness, I usually get thin noodles, but decided to get the thinnest option just to see how well they do pulling it that thin.The food came out lightning fast! I hadn't even had time to catch up to my social media feed XD The noodles are thin alright, and fairly uniform. Though I felt the composition of the dish could be improved. There was a LOT of noodles, and just a few pieces of beef and daikon (which I don't eat but that's my own issues). I think you're supposed to order some side dishes, or maybe you can add some extra veggies into the bowl? As is served there was just way too much noodles to topping ratio. Also the beef was a little tough, which was disappointing as my beef from the Arcadia restaurant was super tender.I do have to say the broth was excellent. I usually don't order the clear broth, but wanted to give that a try since that is their signature broth. I was always afraid that being clear it would have little flavor, but I was totally wrong on that count! The broth was very tasty indeed.Since I'm in this area a lot, I probably will come back and try some more dishes. Next time I will order some side dishes to complement the noodle bowl!
