Hand-pulled noodles & soups, juicy pork dumplings, lamb burger


"The beef broth is richer and cloudier, it’s simmered with both beef and chicken bones for 12 hours, and bok choy replaces radish at this eatery opened in 2016 at the New World Mall food court in Flushing. Lanzhou Handmade Noodles serves 27 noodle bowls, including beef, squid, and vegetables like eggplant and barbecue cauliflower, for $7.50 at time of reporting." - Sharon McDonnell

"Known for its noodle soups with lamb and fish balls, Lanzhou Hand Pull Noodles also serves a lamb burger for $7, noted for its toasted bun and cumin-flavored lamb meat." - Luke Fortney

"After a sudden, heavily mourned closure, the beloved Lam Zhou has reopened as Lan Zhou in a much larger space and with a menu that extends to soup and noodles. But the dumplings — boiled pork served with homemade chile oil — are just the same, and still available frozen to go." - Eater Staff


"On weekends, expect to find a line of people at Lanzhou, which has a long menu of noodle soups from the city in northwest China." - Serena Dai
"I often get their dumplings — you can score 9–11 dumplings for about $3, which makes it an excellent, filling budget option." - Matthew Kepnes
