Ox 9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles

Chewy noodles, yummy broth, good variety of veg in the veggie soup. Liked the beef broth option without the pieces of meat. Lots of cilantro which have the broth a light, clean taste. The fried bread sticks are as decadent as they sound and could get addicting. The red chili flakes are more like Korean gochugaru and have warmth and flavor, but not intense spice. I ate my noodles and some veg for dinner and had enough soup to eat for brunch the next day. I scraped all the fried garlic and chili bits from the fried bread plate into my takeaway, and it made it quite different.

Amazing variety of noodles. So chewy and delicious. Highlights were the cumin lamb, shrimp dumplings and the knife cut noodles w spicy ground pork. Also the popcorn chicken was addicting. Been visiting family in San Mateo for years but haven’t tried this place before. An instant classic and favorite. We will be back.

Too much hype for a noodle house. Don’t come here if you got a party of 5 or more, you’ll be waiting for a while because of the limited space. The restaurant is really really small, 15 tables max and half of them are 2 seaters. @ $20 a person, there are plenty other restaurants near by.

Some places are known for their noodles and everything else just falls flat but not this place!!! Noodles were perf texture, broth was rich and flavorful, and ingredients were fresh. We had the crispy lamb, spicy wonton, and beef soup and enjoyed every bite of every dish. This place is 10/10!

Absolute gem of a restaurant, which explains why there are wait times outside Thursday - Sunday evenings. Their classic Lanzhou noodle soup is delicious but pretty much any of their options have a place in my heart.

Get their wide, house made noodles and the broth is not only flavorful, but also filled with a good amount of protein and vegetables.

Staff are very friendly and they have both digital and physical menus!

Great spot for authentic Northwestern Chinese noodles. I loved how many noodle options there were, from thin rounds to wide, flat cuts, and even tofu noodles, all springy and fresh. The beef noodle soup was flavorful, and the chili oil noodles had a nice kick. The pig ear and tofu skin appetizers were tasty too.

Nice little place in a area with blocked off street. The *1 chili* spicy beef with dried noodles wasn’t that spicy but perfect for me. The pickles in the pictures are 3x the size, we just happened to eat two portions before snapping a photo.
