The spinach in the ramen was actually raw and inedible.
This place was better before they switched owners. They skimped on the meat portions now and the employees weren’t really friendly. They ignored us when we raised our hand to ask to order but came right away when I asked for the check. As for the quality of the food, although it’s still authentic LanZhou Hand-Pulled noodles, the quality has went down drastically. Spicy Premium Beef Noodle Soup felt like they just put hot oil on top of boiling water and caled it broth. Very disappointing.
Their potstickers were good though!

A13 seems to be the hidden gem according to the friend who brought me here. She usually gets the Lamb Noodle Soup. Order A13🔥🔥🔥🔥
We waited a little long & has to walk up to the counter to make our order but if that’s all I have to deal with, I’m coo.
Prices were fair & A13 was f’n DELICIOUS!

The noodles were quite tasty, and the small side dishes had good flavor as well. Additionally, the restaurant maintained a clean environment.

I used to love visiting this store, but then it got worse and worse. Many delicious dishes were taken off the shelves. A bowl of noodles cost 14 yuan, and I was only given 4 pieces of meat. I didn’t even have any notes on ordering. Finally, it was the attitude of the waiter. It’s as ugly as the shit I pooped in the afternoon. When I paid the bill, I was still thinking about my tip and told me that what the kitchen cooked had nothing to do with them out there! boss! ! ! Just take care of it

The noodles taste terrible. It was the first time I ate it and I will never come here again.

There was a waiter with short hair and a Fuzhou accent who had a very bad attitude. I have never seen such a bad person in the almost 20 years since I came to the United States! I asked for a high chair three times before it was given to me. Then because we were taking our children, she kept looking at us and was afraid that the children would drop things on the floor. We asked her to help with small bowls and other things, but we asked her several times... The key is that she was not busy at that time, so she paid the bill in the end. When I checked in, she said that tip was not included. It was the first time I didn’t give a tip... I asked her, why do you still need to tip with your attitude? Where is your boss? She just lowered her head and said nothing, really looking like she owed her money.

Fresh hand-made noodles are delicious here! You can see them making it when you come into the shop. There are 4 different ways to get the noodles: thin, regular, thick and knife cut. We got #13 and it was so good we cleaned out the soup bowl.
Depends on how much you can eat, but the bowl was enough for 4 people and we had side dishes like lamb dumpling (good not gamey), and beef rolls.
Don't order the potato shrimp rolls. Just don't
Table service is almost non-existent (2-stars). It's kind of like a cafeteria but not. So help yourself to more water, why not? Everyone was doing it. The tables are big for groups and has a casual feel to it. But the lack of table service will not deter me because it felt like a place where you can just walk around and not feel weird.
I don't think our waiteress spoke English. So I pretty much used hand gestures throughout our dining experience, until we found out we spoke a common Chinese dialect.
Parking: Park in the same plaza as ABC cafe or drive down the alley behind the restaurant for parking.

?Is it compulsory for your family to charge a tip for takeout? If so, you should tell me. If you don’t tell me, just take it and call it a steal. For the one who stole the money, I will treat you as a beggar and send you away for five yuan. Don’t steal from other people next time! I have eaten at this store so many times since it opened. After so many years, this is the first time I have encountered this situation?How funny is it to send out the order? I didn’t know the order I signed was 86.99? Isn't tax paid on your order after the credit card order has been swiped? Is this legal? And poverty alleviation? How can we still steal money when we can help the poor? Is it a shame?

The fresh shrimps are dry and seem to be undercooked. The service attitude is average. The garlic short ribs are a bit salty.

How come the restaurant I have been eating at for a long time is like this? Forget the service. The mutton soup is so smelly that I have diarrhea. It’s hard to describe how delicious the dandan noodles are. There are actually hairs in the beef noodles?

The tomato beef omelette noodles were so bad that I didn’t want to give them even one star. . The soup base has no tomato flavor at all, and the fried eggs seem to be fried, which is really disappointing. . . . .

Waited 40 minutes on a plain ramen. Turns out she never put in my order. Very annoying.
Potstickers were good though.
