Lanzhou Lamian, also known as Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodles, is a type of Chinese noodle dish that originated in Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu province in China. It is a popular street food in China and can be found in many Chinese restaurants around the world.
The process of making Lanzhou Lamian is an art form in itself. The dough is made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes eggs. The dough is then hand-pulled, stretched, and folded in a specific way to create the thin, chewy noodles. The noodles are then boiled and served in a clear soup broth, which is made from beef bones, spices, and herbs. Thinly sliced beef, green onions, and cilantro are often added as toppings.
Nouilles KungFu earns praise for fresh, handmade noodles made on site, flavorful broths, and generous portions at reasonable prices. The open kitchen and the option to customize noodles by thickness, along with fast, attentive service in a cozy, small setting, contribute to an authentic and welcoming dining experience. Noodles are repeatedly described as chewy and well prepared, with many noting that the broth remains rich without becoming greasy as it cools. Beef and Lanzhou style soups are standout favorites, and many reviewers say they would definitely return, even as a few mention occasional longer waits, a busy atmosphere, or rooms that can get quite hot. Overall the reviews converge on high quality, consistent flavors, and strong value, making Nouilles KungFu a go-to spot for hand pulled noodles on the south shore.
Food is good but we always pay for extra noodles & large size & usually its enough but the past 3 times we came, the portions of noodles in the bowl & the number of slices of beef have decreased. Wait time used to be 5-10 mins but lately it has become 30 to 45 minutes for your soup noodles to arrive, it has become pretty ridiculous :(
Excellente soupe. Les nouilles sont préparées au moment de la commande. Généreux. La commande est faite via notre téléphone. Code QR... Recommandé. Merci

I'm not usually a big fan of soups or noodles, but this place completely won me over. The homemade pork noodle soup was incredibly flavorful & rich, every bite felt carefully crafted, & you could really taste the difference the handmade noodles made. Yes, there was a bit of a wait, but it was absolutely worth it.
On the other hand, the special chicken noodles were just as impressive, perfectly balanced with a hint of spice & a lovely nutty undertone. Both dishes were delicious in their own way.
I'd highly recommend this spot & will definitely be coming back!
Soupe au noix de coco & poulet pas mangeable. Le bouillon goûte le sel & le poulet est raide. C'est la deuxième chance que je donne à ce restaurant & j'ai été déçu les deux fois. Le seul point positif est que leurs nouilles sont bonnes.
Nous sommes allés souper & avons commandé la soupe aux nouilles avec du porc braisé & la soupe aux nouilles avec du boeuf & du chou mariné. Les deux étaient délicieuses !
My husband & I had been looking for a place to eat for at least an hour this February 14th, & then this spot appeared in our path!
We arrived just in time & were lucky to get a table. The noodles are made fresh on site - super fresh - & the broth was absolutely delicious. I dare to say it's the first noodle soup we've had that tastes this good & doesn't become greasy as it cools down.
We will definitely be coming back.
It's a small, very pleasant & cozy place, with great service & very affordable prices.
Noodles in my dish were undercooked & extremely salty. I usually eat salty but I was not able to finish my dish. The'sauce' was a soup of soy sauce & salt. My husband's lan zhou noodle were overcooked & just fell apart in the soup. The broth was ok. Its not the first time. This place just doesn't get the noodle consistency right.

Food is always good & comforting, service fast & courteous. I can't find a better place for a bowl of noodle soup. They make their fresh noodles by themselves & you can see them behind the kitchen window. Don't expect to go on a calm date tho as it's a little noisy but it's perfect for quick delicious family dinner.
Amazing noodle soup, hand-made & fresh noodles. The quality of the ingredients is top notch, & the meat is melt in your mouth delicious. If you're craving a delicious bowl of spicy noodles soup, I implore you to try it, you will be blown away.
I took food to go & it was delicious. The lady in the front was super sweet & gave me broth when I thought I ordered a soup instead I ordered the special beef (which was delicious). I wouldn't just go there for the food but the lovely workers too
All hail the mighty gluten! Great little noodle joint. The noodles are made fresh & offer 7 types of thickness & cuts.
The fresh braids of wheat flour offer chewy noodles & the kitchen generously fill your bowl with carby delight & flavourful broths (a regular size is usually enough although a large is not impossible to finish). We love the triangle & thick noodles. The cooking of the thick noodles is not always consistent (sometimes overcooked) but they have the triangle noodle cooking down pack. Personally, the triangle ones offer the greatest slurpping experience as they gently glide into your mouth with maximum surface to soup/flavour ratio without splashing as much as the other noodles. Call it efficient SLURPaerodynamic. Extra points for the great lip & mouth feel because of the extra ridges in the triangle cut.
I suspect there is a good amount of MSG because I am quite thirsty after eating there but it does not stop me from going back.
The meat to noodle ratio is not the greatest for the traditional bowl (beef slices) but it is acceptable for the braise pork or the chicken coconut broth ones.
The eggs are very forgettable & we only take them for extra protein.
Side dishes:
spicy cucumber one is not that spicy at all & the cucumber is crunchy & gives a refreshing experience.
The edamame is great too & fun to eat. Good depth with the preserved greens in it.
The potatoe sliver salad is our favorite though. Not bad balance of soft & crunchy but could be crunchier. Good taste.
Seaweed: beware. It is very potent & a bit hard to eat (loooog strands). So it you do not like sea tasting stuff or hard to pick stuff, stay away.
The mini lamb skewers are great. Too many times, I find other restaurants overdo it with the cummin not here. It is very good. 1 basket is usually not enough (although they are decently generous). Could be a bit less overcooked but not dry in any sense of it. Really like it!
Prices are right, portions are very decent, parking is easy. If it open until late, it would be a great late night fix & would consider going even more often.
Des portions très généreuses. Complètement délicieux & le service (familial) est très gentil & rapide!! Nous venons de la rive nord 2-3x/mois juste pour la soupe au boeuf style lanzhou! Je recommande +++
Great noodle soups, at a fair price too. You can customize the noodle type, which is nice, & they're made on the spot. Unfortunately, the place was very cold, like if they're trying to save on the heating cost.
