"Offered as another option for hand-pulled noodles, operating locations in West Hollywood and the San Gabriel Valley." - Rebecca Roland
"LAN Noodle first opened in Arcadia in 2019 and takes great care to make a Lanzhou-style beef noodle soup. Staff use a combination of beef and chicken bones for LAN’s broth, including 28 herbs and those very special hand-pulled noodles. The West Hollywood outlet opened in September 2023 and stays busy throughout the week. It’s a gamechanger for WeHo, with a legit Chinese operator in the same complex as Target and Best Buy, just a block away from the legendary Formosa on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and La Brea." - Mona Holmes
"A West Hollywood venue serving Lanzhou-style beef noodle soup, illustrating the neighborhood’s late-night and noodle-focused offerings." - Eater Staff
"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
"Lan Noodle greets you with a show. Mandarin songs pour from the speakers, clangs of stock pots fill the dining room, and a chef calmly swinging strands of dough stands behind a kitchen window. You'll find eight noodle shapes to choose from, the most of any spot on this guide. The signature Lan noodles come with thin slices of melt-in-your-mouth beef, buttery soft radish, and a generous scoop of chili oil, all submerged in beef broth. For a creamier and nuttier broth, the Lanzhou Street Noodles stand out from the usual suspects—the vegetarian-friendly broth is enriched with peanut and sesame paste. And if you’re closer to the Westside than the SGV, Lan Noodle also has a location in West Hollywood." - kat thompson
