Lanzhou Hand Pull Noodle

Noodle soup is amazing. Soup dumplings too thick, not fresh made. No service, staff expressionless.

So I went to a noodle place...and ordered fried rice. The picture looked like a HK style salty fried rice that I used to have back in San Francisco. The actual tofu and veggie friend rice was fairly standard fare. Generous portions, fresh but ok taste. OK value. Self service digital ordering.

Update, Ok went bank for noodles tofu and veggie and it was much better. Got the thick noodle option. Heavy soy sauce flavor so simple taste but great fresh noodles.

This little place is such a gem! It works more like a self service - your order and pay at the kiosk. There can be a bit of a waiting time for food to come as it’s made fresh but it’s totally worth it! Really tasty!!

It was a pleasent experience, I ordered to go, the staff was so friendly and nice.

I ordered:
● Beef Hand Pull Noodle: it was dilecious and well seasoned, just perfectly done.
● Steam Chicken Dumpling: was not bad, but I had much better.

All and all it was good food.

The quality was great and fresh.

Would I come back? I will definitely come back, especially for the noodles

I got their big noodles option with their beef tendon spicy soup. The soup was really tasty! Though, I think the thicker noodles weren’t all that flavorful. I had somewhat low expectations because I was assuming their portion sizes would be too small… I would say they’re in the middle. But overall it was pleasant.

We ate here some years ago, we happened to be in the area, and remembered this place, hoping it was still in business. So glad to see it is doing well. The food is as good as we remembered it.

This is my go-to comfort Chinese noodle restaurant. The flavor of the beef noodle broth is amazing and the chili oil available for you to add is a cherry on top. The noodles are hand-pulled and the meats are always tender and delicious. You can order through a kiosk and it’s mostly self service. Very convenient to get a quick meal in!

Extremely fast service & great hand pulled noodle. the portions are enough for 2 meals, so extremely good value. Unpretentious atmosphere, it knows you're here to eat noodles & get out.

Likely not to white american taste, esp. with the off-cuts of beef. I love them but ymmv.

I've been eating in this restaurant since day one and I'll be honest food quality has gone way, while prices are getting high the food is less and food quality is getting worst by the day, meat feels so hard and chewy not soft, noodles and vegetables are probably half of what it used to be sometimes you don't find any vegetables at all, it's very disappointing because you're paying with your hard earned money for some good food but you're getting something in return that honestly doesn't reflect the high price

I am not Chinese so I can’t speak to the authenticity but I like the ordering kiosks that eliminate any language barriers and make sure all customers can see the full menu and be guided through their selection in an intuitive way.

I had the duck hand pulled noodle soup spicy and it came out hot w good pieces of duck (on the bones as is traditional). The broth was hot and had good flavor and the staff brought the Chinese chili oil to add my own heat.

Noodles were yummy and the duck was properly cooked. The bok choy and other veggies were good and the salted egg was a nice addition.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal and this part of MD has a large Chinese population so it was busy with folks speaking Chinese. I suppose that’s a clue to authenticity.

I’d go back and try the beef w the thicker noodles next time.

Had beef noodle. Tested good. Only problem: too small portion, , not much meat either. Barely enough for a small size Chinese.
