Fast food restaurant-like interior with bare concrete floors. Freshly-made, hand-pulled noodles being made behind the glass divider wall. Food has a good taste versus many American-Chinese restaurants for the authentic flavor. That said, it's not a full-on Chinese restaurant, so temper expectations. For example, special combo chow mein was flavorful and tasty, but skimping a bit on the quantity of vegetables and meats. You can add extra bok choy, if you want. Or Chinese pancakes. Yummy, but there's local alternatives that have bigger servings. Dumplings and Chinese pancakes were perfectly fine and tasty. Chow mein a touch on the saltier side, so ask to adjust the amount of sauce if you prefer.

Pretty solid place for dumplings and noodles, but in an area with such competition it's hard for me to rave about it too much. Spicy won tons as an example - not bad at all, but start mentioning their higher profile competitors and it's hard to say they exceed them.

True to its name, yummy fresh hand made noodles and onion cake. The beef noodle soup was delicious and had the right amount of spiciness without being too salty. The Shanghai dumplings were flavorful with a small amount of broth in the dumpling. Restaurant was clean. The only negative I can think of is the service was a bit spotty. They didn’t refill our waters and forgot to give us ginger to go with the dumplings

Wonderful first experience. Service was attentive and friendly. Dumplings, tempura shrimp and spring rolls were excellent. We split the Mongolian Beef Chow Mein. Just enough heat. We’ll be back for sure.
Exploring Yummy Noodle: A New Hand-Pulled Noodle restaurant in Fountain Valley
Just a few streets away from my friend’s house in Fountain Valley, a new Lanzhou hand-pulled noodle restaurant called Yummy Noodle has opened about three months ago. Being a noodle lover, I decided to gather some friends and check it out.
At Yummy Noodle, you can choose from three types of noodles: hand-pulled (fresh), knife shaved, and wide noodles. I went with the wide one for my Dan-Dan noodle, and I have to say, the texture was just perfect—chewy and satisfying. Our group of four ordered a variety of dishes, and overall, we enjoyed our order, especially considering the reasonable prices. However, I wouldn't recommend the Shanghai juicy dumplings, as they were quite average.
what we ordered: - **Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodles ($15.49)**: Two of my friends chose the fresh hand-pulled noodles. They both loved how the noodles paired with the flavorful broth and the six slices of beef.
- **Dan Dan Noodle ($12.99)**: The flavor was great, the portion was generous, and it wasn't spicy at all, which was a plus for me.
- **Spicy Wontons in Chili Oil (10 pieces, $9.99)**: These were small in size but tasty, and the chili oil wasn’t too spicy, which made it quite enjoyable.
- **Steamed Chicken ($9.99)**: I liked it and ordered an extra to-go and pair with some sliced cucumber.
- **Shanghai Soup Dumplings (8 pieces, $11.99)**: These were pretty average and didn't taste handmade, so I wouldn't recommend this one.
The dining space is quite spacious, and the food came out quickly. The staff was friendly and could speak Chinese and English, which made ordering easy.
Given that there aren't many places like this around the area, I've already made a return visit!

Great place to grab lunch with friends and family. Since the place is fairly new, there isn't a wait and there's plenty of parking in the plaza. The service is quick and friendly. Would highly recommend getting their refreshing cucumber salad and brisket noodle soup with knife shaved noodles. The knife shaved noodles is chewier and offers a new added texture to the classic dish.
I like the food here, tried the 2nd time on 8/21 evening. The handmade noodle texture is really good, we ordered the spicy beef wide noodle, the dandan handpulled noodle with a spicy wonton side dish. I’ll try the knife shaved noodle next time.
Service is good and tentative, the 2 ladies were welcoming and helpful.
The place is new and clean, you can see the kitchen staff handmaking the noodle.
This is a hidden gem! Stopping here for some Chinese food but didn’t expect they had such good handpulled noodles. The lanzhou noodle is definitely a must try if you come alone and can eat spicy. They do the handpull/knife cut noodle show behind the glass kitchen. The noodle texture was very nice. Appetizers are good too. Servers can speak good English and Chinese.
