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.
Food is very good. However, the temperature inside the restaurant is very hot & makes it difficult to eat. The inside of the restaurant is hotter than outside. The bathrooms are very nice for some reason.

Being the first four parties when they open is the way to go. We got a medium lanzhou combo & a small veggie for two adults & two kids 5 & 7 years old. The soup was delicious & the #5 & #3 thickness noodles were perfectly chewy & delicious. Not a lot of searing, but turns over fast because the food comes out quick. The bathrooms are surprisingly nice too.
very good chinese noodles!! very tasty broth & homemade noodles,, food was so incredibly good. service was very very quick & polite. there's a nice asian supermarket downstairs that is worth checking out!

The noodles & sauce portion of Zha Jiang meal was not balanced. This restaurant is popular & there is usuallly a line up & wait. Im glad that they recently expanded space to allow more customers.
The dan dan noodles & the other dish in the pictures are a must get. The small size is the best way to share & try more stuff & trust me the portions are still large for a small size. The interior is extremely cramped & is really hot. The bathroom is a totally different story. One of the nicest, sleekest, most modern bathrooms I have ever seen. Why is the bathroom better than the dining area of this restaurant? I would definitely recommend to take-out your food & eat it at a public table nearby. The experience of waiting in the long line to get in with the hot air exhaust in your face & the cramped & a little less hot inside seating is not worth the noddle, alrhough they are homemade chewy & delicious.

I had the Dan Dan noodles. The noodles themselves were good, but there was about .5 cm of orange oil pooled at the bottom of the bowl. I feel sick now from the overly oily dish. Others seemed happy with their orders though.
Soup was okay, I would not say it's worth the wait in line. Service was subpar; floors & water cups were dirty. They do service large portions & have to go cups readily available

I recommend the Dandan bowl of noodles. It's the most flavourful dish. The soups are ok. They offer a combo. Main, one side & a tea egg. This puts u under 20$. The spicy cucumber salad was very good. So were the edamame. We felt rushed to order not quite understanding the option. Service is quick with a high turnover as there is always a queue outside. No a/c here.
Clear light bone broth with noodles of your choice & spicy level. I had #1, thinnest noodles & extra extra spicy. Service staff prompt & courteous. Will try the thicker noodles next time.
