"Lan Noodle is a powerhouse for Lanzhou-style noodles and each bowl is made to order. Customers can watch the noodle master pull eight different shapes while throwing the strands over their shoulders and into a pot of boiling water. Each type of noodle requires a special kind of wheat flour to get the perfect QQ (chewy) texture. Lan sources local beef to make a broth that is simmered for 10 hours and topped with house-made chile oil. The restaurant recently expanded to West Hollywood." - Kristie Hang
