This spot offers a generous reward to those willing to wait in line: enormous portions of freshly prepared, flavor-packed dishes.

A must-visit for those who appreciate honest, hearty food crafted with fresh ingredients!!
Noodles were tasty! We Tried #3 with the beef ramen and #4 with the minced pork dish. Great service, fast even tho there is a lineup outside. Would recommend giving this place a try
I'm thinking about going again now that I am writing the review. Food is 'calm' and hearty. We've ordered the medium sized vegetarian noodle soup, the size is HUGE, enough for two people, the noodles are chewy and delicious. For a very long time, gluten in a dish did not upset me I don't know why, my stomach was happy for the rest of the day too! Once you try it, you feel a pat on your back, like everything is going to be okay, flavor is just enough, I wouldn't recommend this dish for people who want a spiced up dish with mixed flavors though. 10/10
A good place to enjoy a different experience, watching the preparation of the Noodles is captivating. There are always people waiting in line, and when you get a table, the service is quick. The downside is that the place is too small for the number of people who come to consume and in the summer season it doesn't have air conditioning. The portions are excellent and you leave very satisfied.
Nouilles de Lan Zhou delivers every time. The hand-pulled noodles are perfectly chewy, the broth is rich and flavorful, and the portions are generous. You can watch the noodles being made fresh right in front of you, such a cool touch. Fast service, great prices, and seriously satisfying. A must-try if you love noodles!
This place always has a lineup for a reason, they really provide an awesome traditional meal. The ‘large’ size portion is 100% too much for 1 person, it can feed 2 to 3 people. Either share a large portion or get a small or medium. Also with the different types of noodles, the ‘thinner’ ones are probably a better pick. The place gets a little less busy at around 4 pm ish.
An absolute must try. The classics are the soup noodles and the Dan dan. I love the jajianmeon too. It gets super busy but they renovated and have a bigger space now. Also new bathrooms which are very clean. You can choose your noodle shape. It’s very delicious and I strongly recommend. Very fair price - you will be full!!! Always lineups but trust me, worth the wait. Or go early before opening or later at night. Casual vibe.
The place was super packed during the lunch time we were there and after tried them out I have no doubts why! We waited about 15 mins to get the table which is okay, not sure if it wasn't lunch time you would have to wait but maybe avoid that period of time is you're super hungry! However, the small size of noodle bowl is super big for such a good price!!! Very affordable place to dine in. You can pick your noodle type as well and quality of food is beyond what you paid for. Everything from the soup to noodle is fantastic!!! Freshly made noodle! Another place I highly recommended to go!
