Lanzhou Beef Noodle

LAN Noodle is a no-frills, you know what you're getting into, homey restaurant. Prices also felt more than reasonable for what you get. I was initially skeptical, but we were quickly seated by a very accommodating server and host who constantly checked on us and took care of us from start to finish, quite well. I got the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup with Wide Flat Noodles and it was quite good! Better than expected too. I know, I know, the reluctance is showing, ha. The flavor of the soup wasn't groundbreaking, but it was quite pleasant, light, and I couldn't help but keep sipping, one mouthful after the other. Candidly, I can see myself craving this during a rainy day or when I get sick. The noodles were also chewy, wide, and just hit the spot. Disclaimer: I'm a huge fan of wide flat noodles,

A great beef noodle place that has authentic hand pulled noodles that come in different shapes and sizes. The broth is perfectly seasoned and not super salty. Very satisfying in a clean interior and friendly staff. You can see the noodles being pulled and is fun to watch. The Chinese burgers are not the forte though, quite dry and not as appetizing as the noodles.

Should you check this place out? Yes! Let me say upfront if you want authentic handmade noodles, Lan Noodle is the place to go. I walked in and immediately saw the cook pulling noodles like he's training for an arm-wrestling tournament. Thirty years of noodle mastery in one pair of forearms. You can smell the dough, hear the slap of noodles hitting the counter, it's got this alive feeling, like the kitchen is mid-performance and you just walked in on the good part. Braised Beef Noodle Soup The broth is clear, light, and clean, simmered for hours with beef bones and aromatics. It's not aggressively salty, not heavy, not greasy. Think soothing rather than punch-you-in-the-face. This is the kind of broth where you take a sip first before touching the noodles. The beef is slow-braised until

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is quite delicious. They also maintained another location in West Hollywood, which I've went to before. The handmade noodles are well made, and they offer a good variety of other things ranging from seaweed to watermelon juice. Will be back when I need that handmade noodle fix!

Wowzaaaaa!! This place is extremely good and serves a variety of beef noodle soups. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were being made to order. I’d recommend the braised beef for people that prefer a non-spicy option, and the spicy beef (regular spice level) for people that want the spice! You can choose your own noodle type. I thought the “triangle” noodles were unique and would recommend. Portion size was great too.
