Soooo good! You can choose your noodle shape. I waited around 30 min to get a table - was worth the wait - Signature Lanzhou beef noodles w/ extra wide noodles: 10/10, I liked the broth flavor, and the noodles were so chewy. Meat was tender. A bit too oily tho. Def wanna get this again

Me and my boyfriend came to NY for a visit and came upon this cozy restaurant. It was small, but MIGHTY in flavors! The pork and basil wontons were DELICIOUS! I’ve never tasted a better dumpling before. I initially just ordered the dumplings, but I saw a line form down the sidewalk to get in, so I thought I must have been missing out, so I ordered the beef braised noodles,…. OMG…..they were phenomenal!!! My boyfriend isn’t usually a fan of noodles, but he cleaned his bowl!!! That beef was braised to PERFECTION!!!! Idk how we found this place, but I’m pinning it in google maps for our next visit!!! The service was amazing also. I love how they pay attention to the guests .Must visit….you won’t be disappointed!

Efficient and friendly service. Love that they serve basil-lemon water. Tables are slightly crowded but the atmosphere and lighting is great. Food is delicious and the spice level was hitting the spot! They have a tea pot of vinegar if you like a more sour taste which I really appreciated!

Food was delicious and very hot which was extremely nice for a low 40s weather night. Must order the traditional buns. Amazing hand made noodles, I enjoyed a very spicy dish exploding with flavor. Spicy rating’s high if you’re looking for something with an extra kick. After the first few bites spicy levels receded. If you are not accustomed to spicy foods maybe be a little more reserved and skip the spicy dish. A must try on your next visit to china town.

I’ve seen this place all over TikTok and had been wanting to try it for so long , and it absolutely did not disappoint. The line is definitely slow, especially on weekends, but honestly the food is worth the wait. The noodles are incredibly fresh , you can taste it in every bite , and the broth is rich, flavorful, and a dream for any broth lover. The beef melts in your mouth instantly. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Local and the best hand pulled noodles in NYC Chinatown. It is hard to miss as it is one of the first stores in the street, and always has a lineup. Just follow their recommendations and you should be good. Bonus: you get to see the chef make the noodles right in front of you if you take a seat at the bar!

A fantastic spot for noodles! The signature Lanzhou noodles were excellent. The fresh hand pulled noodles had a great consistency and chew. The broth was rich and delicious. The beef was tender and the veggies were fresh. I really liked the lamb burger. The bun was soft with a light crisp and the meat was seasoned well. The wontons in spicy oil was also delicious. It was a Friday afternoon and the place was packed. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The service was great. Would recommend!

Good place to stop in on a cold day like today. Great hand pull noodle. The soup is excellent. The pan fried bun were awesome. Disappointed at a chinese restaruant that don't serve hot tea or hot water.

First time here, it was pouring and the line was still long, so we knew it had to be good. The steps going down were slippery but we were fine, it was tight like all the other restaurants in NYC. We ordered a dry noodle and a soup noodles dish with 2 types of dumplings. The dumplings were just ok but the hand pulled noodles were 10 out of 10.

Came here for an early dinner on Halloween 🎃 2025. The place is small. The seating is tight. The hand pulled noodles at the star ⭐️. Some of the flavors fell a little short for me. But this place has been around since 1915. So it is a must try. Reasonably priced. Card payments are accepted. Always a line. Give it a try and you decide.

When first walked in, I immediately smelled the delicious smell of beef noodles, I really recommend this restaurant.This place is also pretty nice and comfortable.The staffs are very friendly and nice. The food tastes great and I enjoyed this place as a lunch restaurant. We could also see how did the chef cook and the ingredients that they used.

Very busy hole in the wall that nevertheless accommodated our party of five, with noodles (of customisable size) that walk the walk spice-wise. Not all the servers seem to speak Mandarin, one order was forgotten in the rush, and the rou jian mou was somewhat dry. But this is good, high 2:1 standard. Spicy wontons especially were on point.

Tasty food for fair prices. The pork and leak dumplings are tasty and I highly recommend the pork "hamburger". It was spicy and the pork was so tender. The braised beef soup was just okay, the beef was fatty and the broth could've had more flavor but the hand pulled noodles are the star, fresh and delicious, you watch them get pulled right in front of you. There's limited seating so when it's busy you will get seated next to others at the same table. Overall I liked it but not sure how quickly I'll be rushing back here.

Recommended by a friend at NYC and went to the wrong shop HHHAHAH (go to the other 1915 that is not at Chinatown!!) Almost finished my noodle and my friend told me I went to the wrong one and it was true. This shop - the noodle itself was not bad, but the flavor was definitely lacking and it was definitely too much oil in the oil splash (油泼). The chicken dumplings turned out to be much better!!!

This was good food but not great. I was hoping for spicier and for stronger flavors. I ordered the beef stew. It is just paper thin cuts of meat with paper thin cuts of some white root vegetable and noodles. Boiled egg, bok choy, tofu, etc are all extra. That would make this a bit expensive. The pork dumplings are amazing. They are open sided, which I have never seen before and they give you a lot. The restaurant decor is adorable!

We waited 45 minutes to be seated because this place is highly recommended on TikTok, but honestly, it was not worth the wait. We were seated at a shared table in between two couples (which is understandable since the place is small), but after that, we were basically ignored. The staff was chatting and taking care of everyone around us, while we kept trying to get someone’s attention to take our order. When a waiter finally came, he seemed confused about why we were asking him to take our order, which made the service feel disorganized and uncomfortable. The worst part was the food. After eating the noodles, both of us felt sick for the rest of the day. I’m not sure if it was the oil, the chili, or something else, but our stomachs were very uncomfortable. Overall, the experience did not match the hype at all. Poor service, long wait, and food that didn’t sit well with us.
