Lanner Noodles

We stopped in for lunch by chance while heading to Popup Bagel, and we’re so glad we did. Our 5-year-old loved the chicken nuggets and couldn’t stop eating them. My spouse ordered the braised beef noodle soup—perfectly balanced, full of flavor, and not too spicy. She chose the classic noodles, and the texture was spot on. I went with the wide noodles and rib, and both the flavor and texture were excellent. I also tried the Longjong dessert. As someone who loves Dragonwell, it was absolutely perfect. The original milk tea was a pleasant surprise as well—tasty without being overly sweet. Overall, we’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving this place a try.

super fast and friendly service! i’ve been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint. broths are light but still have a lot of flavor. we got the lanzhou beef noodle soup, braised beef noodle soup, the soup dumplings, and the fermented rice drink. everything was super good but the rice drink was a personal fav. definitely will come back and try more things :)

Authentic Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodles — Beautifully Crafted and Full of Flavor What a hidden gem! The atmosphere is calm and modern, with an open counter where you can watch the chef hand-pull noodles right in front of you — I even captured a short video because it was mesmerizing to watch! The Beef Rib Chili Oil Noodles were incredible — chewy, flavorful, and perfectly coated with chili oil and fresh beef bone. The Soup Dumpling were juicy and tender, served in adorable individual bamboo baskets. Don’t miss their drinks and desserts either — the Longjing Tea Douhua Pudding green was smooth and lightly floral, and the iced Roasted Milk Tea was beautifully presented and refreshing. Service was friendly, the details were thoughtful, and everything felt freshly made with care. Highly recommend if you love authentic Lanzhou noodles and a cozy, elegant dining experience.

Super authentic northwestern Chinese noodle in seaport!! I highly recommend black sesame roasted milk tea and Lanzhou herbal tea. Food wise, we ordered beef rib chili oil noodles (油泼面）and lamb shank noodle soup, both are super great. If only choose one, chili oil noodles is definitely the tier one choice All the noodles are fresh thread. You can even watch chief threading in the kitchen after order! Super fun.

I’ve had the Lanzhou beef noodle soup at multiple places different states. This is decent but there is barely any beef. Like 5 very thin slices. Pork dumpling is a big miss. It’s supposed to be hot and juicy inside instead it’s warm and dry, looks like leftovers from lunch. The presentation was nice but the dumplings is a big miss.

Came here for Lanzhou noodles and wow—they were amazing! The drinks were also super good, you can tell they really put effort into everything. Totally worth coming!

The ramen place we go every week in Cambridge just opened a new spot, and they got some new dishes. Super authentic Lanzhou beef hand pulled noodles. You can see the kitchen, everything’s fresh and clean. Staff are super nice and friendly, prices are good. Me and my husband always love this place!

Authentic Lanzhou noodles. Noodles were freshly pulled. Broth was clear and beefy. You can taste the sichuan peppers. Vinegar and chili oil is available on the table. Parts of my family is from shaanxi, not too far away from Lanzhou, and this is pretty good for the US. Flat noodles were great as well. The lamb skewers were ok, needed a bit more salt, cumin, and chili flakes.

The seaport food game continues to level up. Service is great and the food comes out so quickly. The space is a little odd since it's in the bottom of the Amazon building, but you'll be in and out so quickly it doesn't really matter. The fried mushrooms were my favorite, cucumber salad was nice and refreshing. Lamb shank broth had more flavor to it, but I loved the braised beef as it was so tender and perfectly spicy. I'd love it if the noodles were a little thicker and chewier, but overall a great meal. Will definitely be back!

Been looking forward to eating at Lanner. Unfortunately the thought was better than the reality. Cucumber appetizer was tasteless but was the best thing we got. My main was the Pork Belly Noodles. This was ok, if you dont mind a clump of noodles and almost no spice. Of course, this was awesome compared to my wife's choice, BrisFAT Noodles. The brisket was virtually all fat which was gross. The noodles were over cooked and flavorless. A huge disappointment. We wont be going back

Decent enough for a lunch as someone who works in seaport but would not go out of my way to dine at this location. They have a decent sized dining room for Seaport but if you don't go right at opening on weekdays expect to wait a good amount since this location is close to so many offices. A lot of the dishes here are dry noodles and the two times I've visited I've received lukewarm food. The noodles are bouncy and have a good texture but that's about all I can say. Nothing stood out. The only thing I've eaten here that I've told others about is their cumin lamb skewer. I'd skip this location and head to the original Cambridge location where there's more options if you don't eat red meat and more consistent food and service.

My husband and I visited Lanner Noodles for lunch. The restaurant is located inside a building complex that is shared with a cafe and other buddy. The entrance is very confusing. You have to enter the main building to enter the restaurant although the restaurant has doors that customers can walk into from the street. Even when we were seated, we would watch multiple customers try to gain access through this door and had to be signed language that it was not an entrance but to come around to the next set of doors. For appetizers, we ordered the lamb skewers and the soup dumplings. The lamb skewers were a bit chewy while the soup dumplings tasted like what we paid for, a little soup and a chewy filling. It didn't come with the ginger vinegar dipping sauce that I am used to, however, there is black vinegar on the table that you can add to the soup. Overall, both appetizers were very underwhelming. For the price, I didn't have high expectations. I ordered the lamb shank noodle soup while my husband ordered the braised beef noodle soup. The hand pulled noodles were delicious as were the soup broth. We can watch the noodles being made fresh. The noodles is not thick and chunky as with most hand pulled noodles restaurants that we have tried. It was thinner. Sadly, the lamb shank meat for my soup was also very tough. I took one bite and gave up and did not touch the meat again. I did however finished the noodles and broth. My husband's meat was a bit more tender. There is hot chili oil on the table so that you can add to make your noodles spicier. My highlight during this visit however was the original roasted milk tea. This was served in a teapot. I would come back to try their other teas and noodles. Service was attentive but felt not experienced. We were not giving plates for the shared appetizers. When I asked for small plates, we were provided bowls which felt silly. Overall, it was a good 3.5 stars experience. I would come back to try their noodles and hot teas but I would skip the two appetizers I tried during this visit. See my pictures!

Meh, honestly, which is my usual assessment for restaurants in Seaport. Expectations fell short for this place in particular. Food: 2/5. I went with the tomato egg noodles, as that was one of my favorite childhood dishes. For being the namesake ingredient, the fresh hand-pulled noodles were a disappointment - all clumpy and gummy, a sign of maybe overcrowding in the pot. The dishes do come out crazy fast: not two minutes after the table next to us put in their order, the dishes came out already. I thought wistfully of the Xi'an Famous Foods noodles that I used to eat with abandon. The tomato egg sauce was good but needed some more seasoning. The crispy mushroom bites could have used a longer blot to soak up some of the excess oil. Service: 1/5. The troubles started when my friend got there before I did and they wouldn't seat her until I arrived nor did they take her number down to add to the waitlist (which I've never heard before). Then when I got there, they sat us at a table RIGHT next to someone else even though quite a few other tables for two people were still empty. The finishing touch was when a waitress dropped off the check without a word as she was still eating, with lots of food visibly left in her bowl. No one came by to see how we liked our noodles or if we needed anything else. The vibes were very much "get-in/get-out so we can seat as many tables as possible for the night" but then they shove the option of an 18% gratuity in your face when you sign for the bill. Please, please put up a sign for people to enter through the building lobby rather than tug fruitlessly at the locked doors facing the sidewalk. It's really jarring to be eating your food and look up to find some disgruntled faces wondering why they can't get in. I want to give Lanner the benefit of the doubt because I know they just opened this location and are probably finding their feet but this was one of the most mediocre dining experiences I've had in Boston. The jaded part of me says that this is a trendy spot resting on a spurt in interest from being featured in a bunch of TikTok/IG reels from food influencers but there's very little substance under the hype. Yume Ga Arukara is only a few feet away and we should've gone there instead.

This location has potential, but needs work. I've been to the original Cambridge location, but this one is rather diminished. I went for the braised beef noodle soup, and they get a decent grade for 2 out of the 3 elements. The soup and noodles were fine, though the soup was quite spicy. The noodles were bouncy and had pretty good texture. The beef was atrocious. Both the beef from this noodle soup and from the Lanzhou beef noodle soup were dry and cooked to crap. It took a while to chew some of that horrendous offering. I notified the waiter at the end of the meal and she appreciated my feedback. Prior to that, I overheard a couple of waiters talk about other patrons complaining about the beef, so it wasn't me. Service was friendly but in need of refinement. They forgot a few requests my dining partner had made. The space is a bit small, with that combination of modern sleekness with "traditional" Chinese looks. It's fine but expect a wait if you have a large group. The restaurant, which is in the Amazon building, has a bathroom just outside the restaurant, though it was in surprisingly bad shape. It's nice to have some affordable dining options in the Seaport, so I hope this one casts off better in the future. Right now, it's behind Yume Ga Arukara by a country mile. I'll stick to the Central Square location for now.

If you love hand-pulled noodles and have been struggling to find a favorite in the city - check out lanner noodles bar! The wide noodles with chili oil and braised beef short ribs are easily the best I've had in the Greater Boston area. Chewy, thick, and bouncy - it will for sure fulfill your comfort food craving. The chicken nuggies are a surprise standout I keep ordering again and again. The other noodle dishes are flavorful with rich, comforting broth, though the noodles sometimes stick together. Cukes are ok, Din Tai Fung still beats everyone in the cuke dept. The space is clean and adorable but tiny. Service shines with small groups of 3 or less. Bigger parties can slow things down. Highly recommend!

Stopped here while in the city and met some friends. It was a week night and I walked in a couple minutes after they opened. The location was smaller, however there were already a good amount of people in the restaurant. The restaurant has only been open for a little bit of time but they show amazing promise. The staff was incredibly friendly and great at answering any questions. They atmosphere is hip and trendy. The food was very tasty and arrived hot. The kitchen was also very fast moving. The longer we were there, the more the restaurant filled up and the kitchen was able to keep the pace. By the time we left there was a line for people to eat. After eating there, I get why.

Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup (Fresh hand-pulled noodles, served in a rich beef broth with thinly sliced beef.) - I think these are better than Ichiran which is crazy talk. Hand-pulled noodles are a different beast. The perfect amount of spicy. The been was super tender. Obsessed. Got classic noodle shape, want to try the thin

Need to join wait list when I got there at 5:15... waited around 20 minutes. The service is fast at the beginning, but it got slower when it comes to serving the noodle soup. Marinated Wood Ear Mushroom ($7) - only can taste spicy, don't have the vinegar taste that I was hopping for Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup ($15) - no spicy - the noodle was more harder to chew since they are handmade, don't have the soft texture, the soup was savory without the chili oil Briased Beef Noodle Soup ($15) - same has Lanzhou Beef Noodle soup, just the beef was braised in cube Classic Soup Dumpings ($7) - The dumplings are the highlight of the meal, super juicy and flavorful. This will be the only dish that makes it want to come back again. Skin was thin, meat was soft and juicy. Roasted Milk Tea - Black Sesame ($10) - definitely not worth the price, no black sesame and tea flavor

Located in the lobby of an Amazon building, it would be easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. I had high hopes for this place since seaport needs some more affordable eats! They just opened so I think there are some things to be worked out. It's definitely an eat and leave type of place as the servers were really on top of taking your order and getting your check. The lamb noodle soup I got didn't really hit the spot- just kinda lackluster. I got the recommended noodle width and they were quite soggy in the soup. The dry noodles though, was really tasty. The noodles were wider and had a good chew to it! Both dishes were on the salty side and it's apparent by the amount of water they give you. Oh! And the chicken nuggets were surprisingly good. Super light and crispy coating. It has a chili dusting on them but not spicy at all.

The newest addition to our lunch rotation! The noodles at Lanner Noodles are freshly hand made - and you can definitely taste the difference! The braised beef was incredibly flavorful and tender. I also love how you can choose your noodle type when you order. An exciting new addition to the Seaport area!

Love their new location! It's pretty small and feels like it's part of Amazon lowkey though :/ it feels cleaner than the other location. you can join the waitlist online, which is nice! the service is really fast, but the food was not as good as the Cambridge location. everything was overly salty and the noodles were overcooked and mushy. it's a nice place to visit exactly once.

Very disappointing. Ordered the braised beef noodle soup and the soup did not come out hot? It was warm at best. Broth wasn't particularly flavorful or spicy. For appetizers, we ordered the cucumbers, chicken skewers, and lamb skewers. Would definitely skip this place.

My partner and I got the beef rib chili oil noodles (w wide noodles), tomato and egg noodles (w classic noodles), sour & spicy pickled cauliflower, crispy mushroom bites, and longjing tea douhua pudding -- TASTE: 5/5 - wasn't expecting the food to taste so good haha. Highlights included the tasty chili oil, comforting tomato and egg combo, sharp cauliflower, and not-too-sweet pudding TEXTURE: 4/5 - loved the texture and size of my wide noodles, and the super crunchy mushroom bites. The pudding was light and a perfect end to the meal PRICE: 4/5 - noodles ranged from $12-$30 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - satisfied by what we got for dinner and all of the options for smaller cold & hot bite plates SERVICE: 3/5 - walked in at 4:30pm on a Sunday and half the tables were available. Started off strong w super quick service; all of our dishes came out within 10min of ordering. However there was only one waitress serving all the tables, so it took almost 30min just to get our check ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - modern space, that was a little smaller than I expected, w a really genre-diverse playlist lol. Appreciate that you can see the noodles being hand-pulled through the kitchen window. There should be a sign on Lanner's street-side door to enter through the Amazon office building's entrance instead! PARKING: 4/5 - got lucky w a metered street spot on Seaport Blvd

No alcohol yet unfortunately - they are waiting for their license still. Lanner is in a nice new modern space in Seaport (no need to go to Cambridge) inside an office building. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of seats and they don't take reservations. They do have a waitlist that you can add yourself to online. They will require your full party be present before seating you. Recommend: - Beef Rib Chili Oil Noodles (although they are not spicy enough despite having two chilis next to it on the menu. But their chili oil on the table is very good and it goes well with everything) - Plum Marinated Tomatoes - tastes like watermelon - Skewers - they are OK Skip - Soup Dumplings (there are much better options in ctown)

I am not sure about this place. Ambiance seem ok, but the food is what completely gets me. It is a noodle shop, but no spice except chili oil thats infused with peanuts. No consideration for diners with serious allergies. It is a no for me. Thank you.

Food was delicious. Had the Lanzhou noodle soup and you can taste the noodles are freshly made. We also had the soup dumplings and that was also well made. I wasn't blown away but if you want good food around the area, I'd suggest coming here:

Ordered the marinated brisket with flat noodles. I should have pushed the bowl back to the server and said, " No thanks, just take it off the bill." Mind you, this was not the server's fault. I was given a flavorless bowl of fat chunks and a clump of mushy noodles. Don't fall for the claim of authentic hand pulled noodles. It's just another bad tourist trap restaurant.

Another new opening in Seaport! I had tried Lanner Noodles in Cambridge already and knew that this spot would hit. The food surpassed my expectations and the cool and newer store look was just a bonus. They even had the hand pulled noodles made in front of you. Lanner serves some of the best noodles in the east coast so if you're into Asian noodles and you happen to be in seaport you definitely need to check this one out. They also had some special items that were exclusively here at the Seaport location. Get here early as there is usually a line that starts building up around 5:30-6pm

Food and ambiance was warm and welcoming. My boyfriend and I ordered the shrimp noodles and the pork belly. When I tell you those were MELTING in my mouth! I appreciate they have a variety in the type of noodle you can get whether it's flat, wide or even those good old ramen noodles. We got both with the flat noodles style; it was absolutely delicious. We also tried the lamb skewers which had an amazing texture and chili flavor, only thing is it was 3 small skewers for $13, which isn't bad but I think a 4th would've made it a deal! Be sure to be on the waitlist btw, it's a pretty smooth process which we appreciated as they were tentative to anyone coming in
