The restaurant is nice, but the broth wasn’t great. It had very little flavor and a strong cilantro aftertaste that overpowered everything else. It just didn’t have the depth or seasoning I was expecting. Hoping they improve it because the place itself seems promising.

This restaurant is one of the noodle staples in LIC, however, I find the quality inconsistent.
The noodles sometimes are made perfectly and other times overcooked. The knife cut noodles are usually good but the egg noodles are overcooked. My husband usually gets the knife cut noodles stirfry and it is his go-to. Mine is the knife cut beef stew noodle soup. These dishes are good but can be very salty towards the end, especially the stirfry. The meat quality also not always fresh. The wonton noodle soup, however, was far from my expectations. The noodles were really soft and lacks the chewy texture of the classic egg noodles for this dish. The broth was bland, wonton skin was also too soft, and the filling was not plump and juicy like the ones in Chinatown/Flushing. The dim sum dishes were ok, nothing outstanding.
The restaurant is very spacious inside and kid friendly which is great for LIC. I order takeout from here or come in when I need a quick noodle fix nearby. I will be sticking to knife cut noodles from now on.
The kitchen really knows how to balance flavor and texture.

Delicious, affordable food crafted with love. The noodles are fresh, chewy and so flavourful. The pan-fried dumplings are to die for, so well made, absolutely delicious. Additionally, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff what more could you ask for. Highly recommended!

Update: it's been more than 6 months since last visit. Before, I would order the 炸醬麵 and order another noodle and still able to finish it! Today, flavor change...too salty. I ate half of it. Pls bring back to it's original. 2nd Update: still salty. And now they add bean sprout on 炸酱面！I think they lost it. Not coming back.

I keep finding new reasons to return here. The taste quality is remarkable! Employees provided the impeccable service expected at this caliber. They offer varied dishes, sensible prices and service that exceeds expectations. I suggest dining at this place.

The restaurant has a cute atmosphere and the service was great.
That said, I was disappointed with the Lanzhou noodles. I ordered the round noodles, but they were overcooked and ended up too soft. It didn’t really have a bite to it. I was also surprised that the soup didn’t include any cilantro, which is usually a key garnish. The broth was just okay—one-dimensional in flavor. For the price, it’s not terrible, but if you’re choosing between this spot and Silky Noodle, I’d recommend Silky instead.

Bland noodles that are not hand-pulled, ice cold, chewy, and tasteless beef. My party ate dine-in and were one of two tables so there's no excuse for the temperature. Overall I was extremely disappointed, I was really excited to try this place.
5 stars based on great portion sizes, really good salt and pepper chicken, and great curry noodles with chicken. Friendly service and good vibe inside

Fantastic noodle soup! I’m a huge fan of Lan Zhou La Mian and theirs is amazing, especially the fresh noodles. Highly HIGHLY recommend dining in over takeout. Stick with round noodles for soups, and wide ones for dry dishes.

The HK Wonton Noodle was not the most authentic in terms of the noodle choice, but is still quite good! Portions are quite large though.
Xiao long bao was quite good too. Just remember to eat it when it is fresh out of the steamer!
