Came in for my sister in law birthday celebration. We were seated right away and thankful that the ac was on full Blas because it was hot outside. You can customize your noodle size to your liking whether its round or flat. You can also adjust the spiciness of the broth but basically they just add more chili oil to your bowl. I think it's Mala based so it will numb your tongue momentarily.
I was born in Lanzhou (origin of this restaurant), but grew up in the states. We stopped here during our trip to LA with fairly high hopes. The owner is actually from a city near Lanzhou (where the beef noodles are famous throughout the rest of China). You can definitely tell the hand-pulled noodles are well made. The broth is fairly different from what you'd taste in Lanzhou proper though; it tastes more like tourist restaurants you'd visit in other parts of China which try to replicate the original thing but kind of lack the strong flavors. It's not a bad thing, but if you have been to Lanzhou, you'll definitely notice the stark difference. All the side dishes were similar -- you can tell they're Lanzhou inspired, but again, very different. The staff were very friendly. There was ample parking, and it's right next to a Mariott hotel.
Just LOVED my street noodles. They were spicy even though I ordered them mild. Fresh noodles are THE BEST!
We drove one hour to come try the noodles, only to be told they are taking a "break" at 2 PM even though the hours posted on their door as well as on Yelp clearly state they are open.Please update your hours to reflect your true hours and avoid wasting customers time!
The best part of my meal was the lemon iced tea. We ordered kelp salad, honey walnut shrimp, chicken chow mein, and chicken fried rice. Tge chicken was the lowest quality chicken i have ever had. It was mostly pieces of dark meat, fat and nerves...disgusting to say the least. I will not be returning. The waitress is very unfriendly. Overall not a good experience ?.
Amazing food and service
Not sure what people are saying about service. I was super hungry, came in and asked for a menu. Picked what I want, went to the register with my wallet out. Stood there for several minutes. Staff acted like I was invisible. Took a seat and aside from giving me a menu they barely acknowledged me. The food look good I'll admit.
Great Food, Very Tasty!!!
Great service, great food you can tell they’re putting in the time and effort to make a quality product. They are making noodles in house, you walk in and the aroma is awesome, like home cooking. I had to dry noodles with chive flat noodles–delicious! I ordered a fermented goji tea, that was tasty. Ordered the lamb skewers for my kids (not spicy) which were awesome you won’t be disappointed. Definitely coming back.
Very decent place!
