Overall, reviews praise Nouilles de Lan Zhou for fresh hand pulled noodles and flavorful broths, the show of noodles being made at the front, and generous portions at a fair price, with many finding the line moving quickly and the atmosphere lively in Chinatown; some diners report rude or pushy service and a tipping expectation, occasional miscommunications about the bill, and a few dishes that lack vegetables or spice, but the noodles and broths are consistently described as delicious and comforting, making it a reliable go to for noodle lovers, especially for Dan Dan and beef Lanzhou noodles.
J'ai adoré ma première expérience &, la seule raison pour laquelle je n'ai pas mis 5 c'est qu'on ne m'a pas avisée que si je prenais le reste de ma soupe pour apportez on me chargerait 1$ pour le contenant. Je l'ai vu arrivée à la maison. Sinon, tout était parfait pour moi.
Went to this shop on a whim, intended to try their famous braised beef tendon noodle but sold out. Opted for the traditional Lanzhou beef noodle, the noodle thickness to SanXi (thin), minimal spiciness (to adjust later if needed). It was good, the broth's clarity & the rich beef flavor attested its authenticity, the hand-pulled noodle had a unique texture of chewiness & smooth sets them apart from other types of noodles. They stowed the party of one along the wall, each facing it & the seating was tight, I had to slurp my noodles cautiously, ensuring I didn't splash the people seated next to me.
Très bel endroit! Soupe très bonne. Tu peux aussi décider du niveau de piquant. Arrivé un samedi à midi & l'attente n'a pas été trop longue (~15 minutes). Bonne quantité pour le prix.

Tasty, heart warming soup with noodles. Highly recommend to reach there early before the place gets crowded at lunch & dinner times - wait time can be long (not fun during winters!) The broth always has the right level of spice & flavour ! After multiple visits there - each time I've walked out satisfied & wanting to go back again soon!
IMO, this place is over hyped. The 4 of us waited for almost an hour to be seated. Several times the waiters picked the people who were behind us & seated them first because they had fewer people in the party. So the wait time is very unpredictable. The food options are limited. You can pick from 6 different noodle styles but the broth options are pretty much ether beef or vegetable. & if you pick beef, you don't get any vegetables except for a few slices of scallions & some parsley. They use chili oil liberally &, as you go through the broth, the oil clogs the noodles making them greasy & unpleasant to eat. A little bok choy & bean sprouts would really help cut the greasiness. The beef & the broth itself were tasty & the portions are huge.
