Ox 9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles

Had a fantastic lunch here! The spicy ground beef with dry noodles was packed with flavor, but fair warning the heat might not be for everyone. We also tried the spicy braised beef noodle soup, which was super comforting and full of tender beef. The beef and green onion bao were soft and tasty. Definitely worth a visit if you love bold flavors!

we've heard this place has very good Chinese food, so we went for a late lunch. it's a noodle 🍜, so the menu is mostly noodles: thick, thin, long, short. a few tables were available. very good service. the food arrived soon. I had the beef ribs with thick long noodles, the thickest and longest noodles I've ever had. if the noodles are too long, they'll give you a pair of scissors ✂️. it's a very full meal. we also had an order of the popcorn chicken, which goes well with the noodles. lots of side dishes. everyone finished everything. and yes, we'll go again.

Really tasty broth, chewy noodles, and a good cut of beef in each bowl. The only thing missing from the menu is a beer to compliment a spicy broth but sodas are available. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and had no wait. No frills, good food.

Ox 9 opened semi-recently in DTMV and is a chain that serves primarily hand-pulled noodles. Noodles consistently arrive chewy and the broth is not too salty. I like the hint of spice added from the chili oil. My favorite item is the classic Lanzhou beef noodle soup with small/large flat noodles. Ordering is done through the QR code at the table. Service is quick and efficient. Interior is clean, modern, and spacious.

While wandering down Castro Street, we were drawn to Ox 9 by its hand-pulled noodles. The service was decent, with a user-friendly QR code ordering system that let us customize our dishes. My sister and I ordered braised beef stew noodle soup with different noodle cuts, perfectly chewy, just as I like it. The braised beef was incredibly tender, the broth was packed with flavor with customizable spice levels, and the vegetables were freshly cooked, adding a nice crunch. My niece loved her vegetarian chili oil dry noodle, finishing the entire bowl, a testament to how much she enjoyed it! For appetizers, the fried calamari was delightfully crispy, served with a tasty sweet chili dipping sauce, and the fried taro balls were a standout, crispy outside with soft, flavorful taro inside.
