Wow. The bowl of beef hand pulled noodles legit tastes like the stuff I’ve had on the streets in the motherland. Great job for bringing a little bit of noodle authenticity to Flushing — deserving of your 4.5÷5.0 Unilocal star average as of June 2016. I can’t quite get to five stars myself because beef la mian is fundamentally not really a five star dish. Anyone who doesn’t give this place at least four either didn’t have the noodles (which is the point of this place) or hasn’t had them in China for reference. I was close to ordering a second bowl and will be back.

Very nice restaurant, appetizers also tasty, only one thing not feel really good is they accept card over $ 20. I decide to go again this week:-P

Really love their eggplant salad! It really helps to comfort my homesick. Beef Noodle Soup are not bad or I should say their hand pulled noodle soup are very authentic, not like over 90% so-​called Lanzhou hand pulled noodle soup in American market are actually made by Fujianese people.

Honestly they have one of the best noodles I’ve ever tasted, you can tell since they have clear glass kitchen kneading the dough right in front of you. I think no matter which noodle bowl you end up going with you’ll be quite pleased with the quality of the noodles.
Personally I tried their Prime noodles soup and had a fantastic meal. Besides the super fresh noodles, the beef slices and broth were both quite excellent. I ended up adding chilis to it since I think they felt a bit light if you didn’t go with the spicy version. Also had tried their Cold Noodles and that was simply wonderful as well. Those two would be my highly recommended menu items.
It was a large group so we ended up getting quite a number of hot and cold appetizers. The lamb chops were a bit pricey as expected but I think they fried it quite well, if you don’t mind the extra greasiness and full slice of lamb with the fat its quite large plate. The cold chicken were another favorite of mine pretty authentic and quite spicy if you have the stomach for it.
Being a relatively new restaurant, the seating areas are very clean and very update to date. The food came out in relatively quick fashion despite our large party of 12+ We did had to ask the servers for some help at certain points but they were always helpful and never forgot what we asked.
5 stars just for their noodle line ups and honestly I think even if they don’t offer any appitizers people would still be coming to this newly establishments in droves. The noodle prices are quite attractive on par with many food court food prices here. The portion and quality of the food for the price is really something quite exceptional. I hope they have many many years of success and I see myself becoming a regular here on my visits to Flushing.

This restaurant provides very authentic Lanzhou hand-​made noodle. My husband is from Lanzhou and he thinks Dunhuang’s beef noodle soup is as good as what he had at his hometown. We also met the chef, who is a native Lanzhou-​er. I guess that’s their secret recipe for all these delicious food.
The environment and the decoration is very modern and clean. The staffs are all young people, very nice and friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves Ramen!

One star taken off for the service, we waited just a few minutes too long to be acknowledged. I think they were short staffed so not their fault.
But once someone approached us, it was smooth sailing and entrees came out very quickly.
Fried lamb chops were amazing, along with the dry spices that came on the side. I had to ask to take some of the cumin run home bc it was so delicious.
Also ordered the fungus mushroom in vinegar sauce. It was really good for a quick appetizer but def put some more vinegar on (on the table).
We both ordered the prime beef house soup with regular noodles. SO GOOD. they ran out of the lamb that could be added on the soup, but it was alright. So refreshing. The boyfriend added chili sauce to make his spicier but I loved the refreshing taste of mine sans the spicy kick.
Very worth it for a quick dinner!

Probably the only authentic lanzhou noodle place in the whole New York city. Chewy noodle, clear broth yet rich in flavor. Add some chili oil and vinegar, you will not regret coming to this place. Forget about golden mall, new world mall or any other place that acclaim they have authentic lanzhou style noodle, because this is THE place to beat. And this is the only place truly resemble noodle you can have in Lanzhou, China.

I ordered beef noodle soup and my husband had the spicy beef noodle soup. Both tasted good! The soup was delicious and the noodle was tasting good too unlike some places soup taste good but noodle tasteless. We also ordered cucumber and fries with spicy sauce both were good too. Place was clean, noodle came fast. Will come again!

I’m not sure if I was just starving from getting off a plane or the food was really good. Either way, this place deserves 5 stars just because the lamb chops was cooked a very unique way and it was flavorful. The soup base was complete and didn’t miss a beat.

More restaurant than just a noodle shop, though its menu is quite limited. What they do have mostly taste pretty darn good, especially the julienne potato and garlic eggplant cold appetizers, fried lamb ribs, side of braised pork and the spicy noodles. It’s also a quite part of downtown Flushing, so there is usually quick seating. The service is much better than typical of this neighborhood and the restaurant feels clean (still brand new).

Small corner restaurant serving fantastic hand pulled noodles. Fresh ingredients in tasty dishes. I had the cucumbers with spicy garlic sauce and shredded potato salad for appetizers. I then followed it with regular noodles in a vegetable sauce bowl. Great food in a clean environment.

I was skeptical of the 4.5 stars but my parents wanted to try this place out anyway. I’m sure you can see my by 3 stars, that the 4.5 is too good to be true.
On Saturday at 12:30 (prime lunch time), it wasn’t very busy. We ordered the potato salad, beef noodle soup, lamb noodle soup, and «zha jiang» noodles. The potato salad was okay. Didn’t have any strong taste. The noodles are decent. However, the soup for both bowls were not only luke warm, not hot as it’s supposed to be, but also kind of bland. The sauce for the zha jiang noodles again was too mild. Nothing really stood out about this place. The lan Zhou noodles at New World Mall definitely beats this place by a lot.
Service is overall decent, I guess. However, the waitress didn’t speak English; thought that was a bit odd. she didn’t understand me when I was ordering thick noodles.

This is such a great place for family time and friend time! The restaurant is clean and decent. Staff are nice and kind, they give you great advice. They offer authentic food from my home town. I strongly recommend EVERYONE，literally everyone to try the food, especially beef noodles. If you like Chinese food, please come! If you are from my hometown or areas nearby, you will be surprised by how authentic the food is. This is a restaurant for both homesick guys and gals as well as people who want to try something new and special.

Me encanta el desayuno allí me encantan las papas de la casa son las más ricas que hacen

The Noodle with sweet & spicy sauce is the best! The soup base is very flavorful and the beef I added in the noodles was very tender. The niangpi is good too if you like cold noodles with peanut sauce. I am definitely coming back!

Just went there a few days ago and already craving! Didn’t really pay attention to the service, but the food was so goood. It was worth it for the price, which is really inexpensive, but the beef noodle taste a lot like Vietnamese Phở just missing a stronger broth flavor. Their cold noodle appetizer was DELICIOUS and was my favorite. Very inexpensive great place to try. Would come back if it was a little closer but worth the distance for someone who can make time for it.

Nice noodles and appreciates. The service is good and fast. If you want to try the traditional Lan Zhou noodles, you have to try the noodles here. Like the chopsticks and teapot. The waitress are professional, she gave me some suggestion on the noodle .
This place is awesome, unique, new and hot.

Ordered the Lamb Noodles —
noodles were on point.
The broth was very flavorful.
The cucumbers and spicy garlic sauce was ight.
Def going to try the other noodles next time.

Hanging out with my best company, love the beef noodle, it’s very delicious. The ambient is really comfortable and nice. The people is very kind and super helpful. This restaurant should open one branch In Boston!

Hang out with my friends on Sunday night, this place is well organized and clean.
We order two appetizers, shredded potato and eggplant. Potato is just okay, eggplant sweet and sour garlic sauce taste really good.
Each of us order one noodle dish. Radish in Lamb paomo is hard to bite, should cook a little longer. Beef noodle and Lu noodle are bland. The home made spicy sauce is no good. The beef sandwich has no cilantro.

I’ve tried Lanzhou beef noodle in so many places before but neither of them are from Lanzhou China. My friend recommended this new place and I decided to give a try. I ordered beef soup noodle and lamp chops, after my first bite I almost scream out! This is it! I finally find it!

Hell no! I had a lamp noodle, right after 5mins I start feel running stomach and I have about 15mins walking time to be back home! I almost shit on my pants! Never come back again! I don’t know it’s the soup or meat there is something not fresh!!!

Omg!!! I am a huge fan of beef noodles and cold skin noodles and I almost tried every beef noodles in the city! By far this is the most authentic flavor. Next month when my family comes I’ll bring them there ==Love transparent kitchen and clean environment. Definitely coming back soon~~

Good service and taste great, but there is only one female waitress is in this restaurant. After 5 pm, a lot of people are waiting for orders.

I’m from Lanzhou and I seriously grew up eating the noodles. The waitress (I would assume not a Lanzhou native) told me there is only one type of noodles available while I know it’s NOT true. You can always ask for wider, thinner, thicker or slimmer shapes of your noodles.
I asked her to tell the chef what I’ve told her and IT CAME OUT GREAT!
That is, the chefs are definitely my hometown people. Certified by a Lanzhou girl, there :) Good job making the authentic noodles and spreading the warmth.

This little spot has perfect beef noodle soup just like the one in China. After I have eaten cheap fake Lan Zhou beef noodle for years, I finally found this place which have authentic beef noodle. Even my parents who were a little picky about Chinese food also like this place. The price is little higher than other beef noodle soup place but still reasonable. I am so happy they accept credit card since usually I won’t carry cash. The location is not very convenience but that’s ok

Just went Lanzhou beef noodle for lunch. We tried so many different things, thanks to the huge party size — we loved almost everything, especially the eggplant salad, bitter gourd (it might be a personal thing), liangpi (凉皮 — there are two kinds and they are both good) — those appetizers are insanely cheap and yummy. For warm dishes, my fav include the egg rolls with pork inside, as well as the sweet and sour pork. My friends are a big fan of the lamb chops, both fried and steam versions. Give this new restaurant a try.

This restaurant has great atmosphere. I would describe it as clean, comfortable and welcoming. The food are authentic based on my experience eating in Lanzhou city. My favorite dishes are Lanzhou hand-​pulled noodle, spicy cumin lamb burger and lamb chop. In addition, the waiters and waitresses are friendly and pleasant to speak to.

The noodles are great! Very good flavor. One of the best Chinese noodle places in Flushing. We will definitely come back again. The environment is comfortable and their customer service is awesome!

Holy crap. The best lamb I ever had on a noodle soup base! Reminds me of phở in some way w their own kind of twist. But the lamb slices were so soft and melts in my mouth. Maybe I got lucky. Or that’s the way they make it! I’ll come back and try again. The dish is called mutton noodle.
I also tried their nangpi which was pretty good and lastly had an eggplant appetizer which was very good esp for price. ($ 3)
New spot and getting busy so check it!

Decent Hand Pulled Noodles
The hand pulled noodles are made to order. On the upside, the space is well lit and seems clean. I came here two times because I wasn’t sure If i liked it or not. On the plus side, you don’t feel overwhelmed after a bowl of noodles here. The beef is tender and not rubbery like some of the stalls in the Flushing Mall food court. It’s really cool how the expert noodle maker-​chef smashes the dough on the stainless steel flat surface in the kitchen.
Sadly, I feel like is nothing really special about the noodles. The noodles are decent but not spectacular enough to spark cravings. Personally, I rather have a Chinese-​Korean bowl of noodles.

This is my third time at this place. I love noodles and when I heard of this place I immediately came to try.
Service was great! Waiters were attentive and came by often to refill tea. The place isn’t the biggest place but it could still fit a decent amount of people. Lunch times this place is pretty much packed (no wait time though). Since there’s only two main dishes (lamb/​beef noodle) you pretty much know what you’ll be eating when you go.
They have a few assortment of cold dishes and to be honest the flavors were all pretty good and I have tried them all.
I love spicy foods and their spice did not disappoint. A little bit of hot with a little bit of numbness.
Try it!

Pro: They take credit card with no minimum yet (No AMEX). Very transparent kitchen that let’s you see their activities inside.
A manager on the floor, with 3 chefs, one hostess, one waiter and one clean up girl.
Soup a little saltier than I’d prefer but not bad. This isn’t something light, their soup is heavily based on the abundance of seasoning to get the flavors.
Their beef is cooked long enough to melt in your mouth. The few slices of white radish was cooked just right, leaving a light sweetness in every bite.
The hostess who took my order told me the noodles aren’t spicy but I clearly tasted some light spiciness while eating and my tongue is left with a slight numb sensation… So she doesn’t her products yet.
With the amount of hand stretched noodles places all over flushing and esp. At a lower price point… This place left me disappointed … Not to mention. They didn’t even offer tea for starters until I was more than 75% done with my food.
They are new so I gave 3stars to give them a chance.
Otherwise, not a fan yet.
A Star for the new interior and the ceramic utensils.
A Star for friendly service, tho not professional enough.
