Ramen Chinese Soups

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Nouilles de Lan Zhou as a place with fresh hand-pulled noodles in several thicknesses, rich broths, and standout dishes like beef noodle soup and a notably spicy cucumber side; portions are generous, and bowls feel hearty, with the weekend soup and the vegetarian combo getting particular praise. One note mentions sadness about a closing, while others highlight that a newer location holds up to the original, with similar quality and better flow.
