Love this location more than the 8th Ave one, and especially like how spacious the seating is - elbows will not be invading strangers at the next table. Crispy Lamb Chops: these were kinda lamb strips instead (but with bone)? Doesn't matter as these were delicious. Crispy, the meat was moist, so so soft, and fatty. Couldn't stop eating. 10/10 coming back for this alone Mala Pot: ordered two choices for meat - fatty beef and intestines - and wow, they were so generous with the fatty beef! Good mix of ingredients and love the spice too. Soup Dumplings: the skin is pretty thick but the filling and the soup flavors are decent and satisfies the craving. read more

Decent food with great lunch special deals. Went on a weekend for lunch and the place was not too busy. Ordered the lunch special with the signature Lanzhou beef noodles. The lunch special came with a fried egg for the soup noodle, a burger (went with the cumin lamb burger) and a soda for $15. Also ordered the Taiwanese sausage, an order of lamb skewers and a side of spicy curly fries. The beef noodles were really good. The burger was meh and the skewers were good. The spicy fries were soggy, but the sauce was really good. I wished they were crispier. Would definitely come back for the noodle dishes. Recommended. read more

Signature beef noodle - highly highly recommend! super delicious & fresh. Cold noodles - noodles was al dente & nicely flavored. Super delish! Cumin lamb burger - super delicious! the cumin lamb was so soft, nicely seasoned. Lamb& beef skewers - highly recommend the lamb as it was seasoned better & tasted better. Beef skewer was ok. read more

Love the foods here! I love their signature beef noodle the most, which I always order. Their cold noodles are also good but that beef noodle is the gem! Love their cumin lamb burgers so much, nicely seasoned. Also love their lamb skewers - also well seasoned and delicious. Friendly staff & food comes out fast. Good amount of indoor seating. read more

Despite not trying this location until much later than anticipated, my sister and I love it. The food is good and the staff is really nice. The guy with glasses is especially nice. My daughter is a super picky eater and she loves the noodles, fish tofu skewers and beef skewers here. Even my husband (who is just as picky) likes the noodles. Every time I have their soup noodles, I finish the broth, every last drop. The restaurant itself does not seem to ever be full though so it becomes a very nice and quiet space for us to dine-in at. Very comfortable. Highly recommended. read more

This freezing cold weather got me craving a hot bowl of braised beef noodles and I knew just the place that would hit the spot. Dun Huang is always my go-to when I'm craving beef noodle soup! I ordered the Soy & Wine-Braised Beef Noodle and it was good but the beef felt a bit tougher this time around. The spicy chili oil at the table is always there asking me why I don't use it. But every time I use it, I regret it because my nose is so sensitive to spice for no good reason. I need to remind myself to chill on that chili oil next time, haha. We also ordered a Zha Jiang noodles to share and I'm kind of sad we did. I wasn't that impressed because it was overpowered by the saltiness of the soybean paste and ground pork mixture. I felt like the sauce did not have any dimension and the only saving grace was the chili oil at the table. It did me good for this dish but I wouldn't order the Zha Jiang noodles again. Overall, my more recent experience with Dun Huang was not ideal, but that's not to say it wasn't good. I'll still be back for the braised beef noodles and am down to try their other dishes! read more

I got delivery from here a few times and dined in once. Quality is same for either. I do like the ambiance of the restaurant though. It's pretty quiet with a charming modern decor. The food reminds me of Xian's but "cleaner" and "healthier." I always get their broth noodles and sometimes the pita burgers but the latter is not as rich as Xian's. I've tried their zhajiang noodles but it's just alright; the Shanghai restaurant I frequent in Chinatown makes a really delicious version so that's my standard. The eggplant salad and skewered tofu are pretty good but pricey so Ive tried to recreate them at home lol. The eggplant salad is like braised eggplants coated in a savory sauce. The skewered tofu is like grilled packaged fish tofu from supermarkets (that one Korean brand) with a load of Chinese bbq seasoning powder. read more

I enjoy their skewers and noodle soups. Eggplant appetizer is pretty good too. Service is pretty quick.

I had this bookmarked for a while since passing by. The interior was bright with clean and good size tables of 2 and 4. The menu was a hard choice since a lot of items really caught my attention. I got the beef noodle soup, I feel like they're known for this, but didn't find it the best as the beef was too thin and the broth lacks flavor. The noodles were also didn't have much chew to it. The popcorn chicken was tasty and doesn't have as much 5 spice as some places and it was so fresh. The soup dumplings are absolutely thumbs down; it was left out for a while, hence the dried up skin. My soup dumpling didn't have any soup, also the meat wasn't great. My friend said the mala noodle soup wasn't very flavorful. The star of the show was definitely the chicken and lamb skewers, I usually get it from Flushing, Queens, but I don't need to anymore. It was delicious and will absolutely go back for it. The service was one of the worst, no refill with water for 3 empty cups, didn't have any warm welcoming and assume the table spoke Chinese even though we kept ordering in English. read more

This spot is reminds me of Chinese tapas. There's a bunch of things to order from. They have skewers, hot and cold appetizers, noodle soup, entree dishes, and more. This spot is great to catch up with friends while having a min feast on the table. We ordered so many things but we didn't feel heavy after eating it all. I'll just list what our favorites were: Zha Jiang noodles- loved the sauce and bouncy noodles Cucumber salad- crunchy and cold, refreshing Woodward mushroom- cold and crunchy, light on seasoning Spicy cumin lamb burger- super flavorful and spicy Chicken feet- LOL! This might be a hit or miss for some. I love crunchy cold chicken feet, it has a slight numbing spice to it. Fries- seasoned with bunch of spices, crunchy but fluffy in the middle!!!! . Overall I would like to come back to try the other entrees. must order = Fries Lamb burger And zha Jiang noodles read more

Came here on a Sunday evening and we were seated straight away with no reservation! I usually order takeout or delivery but I would say the noodles here definitely taste the best when it's served hot and fresh! Dun Huang has a pretty extensive menu with spicy and non spicy options. You can also ask them to make any spicy dishes more mild. Out of all the dishes we got, my favorites were the eggplant salad which was the perfect appetizer to start off the meal. I also highly recommend the hand pulled noodles and their cumin lamb burger both of which are super flavorful. Not sure if this is limited time but we saw a combo special where you get a signature beef noodle with egg + burger and soda all for only $13.99 which is such a great deal. I would come back just for that deal. Overall, it was a great dining experience. The staff was kind and patient with answering any questions we had. The interior is also spacious and not too crowded. Would come back to dine again! read more

Dun Huang's newest location in Brooklyn is on a rather quiet stretch of 20th Av in Bensonhurst. I have previously dined at their other locations and this new one is pretty standard. We ordered the C6 mung bean noodles ($6.95), N1 signature Lanzhou beef noodles ($8.50), N2 non-spicy Lanzhou beef noodles ($8.50), and a plate of lamb skewers ($9.95). While the noodle soups were great, I thought the appetizers were quite weak in terms of execution. The mung bean noodles were slippery and had a generous amount of chili oil, but the noodles had an overly firm texture with no bounce. The skewers were also not impressive, though the meat was seasoned well. The lamb was quite lean and tough. read more

We came for dinner in a Friday night. Street parking only. The restaurant inside is not very big and decor is simple. Overall food is pretty good. We think their small dishes are better than their main courses noodles. We tried a fish noodle and their signature beef noodle. We thought the flavor is just mediocre. But the small dishes are pretty good and not expensive. Signature beef noodle: not much flavor. 4/10 Pickled fish rice noodle: lack of pickle flavor. 5/10 Cucumber: garlicky and fresh. 6/10 Mung bean noodle: this one is yummy. 8/10 Eggplant: flavorful. 7/10 Chicken feet: not thing special. Not a fan of chicken feet. 4/10 Potato salad: 6/10 Rice cake: very crunchy. Yum. 8/10 Skewer: tasty. 7/10 read more

This Dun Huang location has much better business than the 8 Ave Sunset Park location, it seems. Came here for dinner. Good amount of customers during early dinner rush. Only two waiters working but I thought the service was pretty good. They were very accommodating, especially with a baby at the table. Ordered the beef noodle combo that comes with a lamb burger and soda for $15. Pretty good deal. I also had the spicy noodle with pig intestines. The broth was good but it was the pig intestines that had the wow factor. At first bite, I was surprised -- in a good way -- they fried or pan seared the pig intestines after braising it, giving that smoky, crispy taste. Usually when I order pig intestine noodles in other restaurants, they simply just braise it and add to the bowl. But the flavor of the pig intestines here definitely make this bowl of noodles stand out. The lamb burger is always good, but having it freshly made instead of as takeout definitely make it tastier. Overall, this was a delicious and affordable meal. Will come again. read more

Dun Huang - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I gave this place two chances, and sadly, both times were pretty underwhelming. The first time, I did takeout and tried the braised pork rib noodles. They were just okay -- nothing special. Honestly, the hand-pulled noodle on 18th Ave in Brooklyn was better. The only thing that stood out was the noodle texture -- chewy and bouncy, which made me think they were hand-pulled. But the flavor overall just didn't hit. Hoping it would be better in person, I came back to dine in. We ordered: two of their signature beef noodles, both types of soup dumplings, and the Dunhuang cold noodles. Unfortunately, everything kind of missed the mark. The signature beef noodles tasted mostly like cilantro, with a lot of chili oil but surprisingly bland broth. The soup was so watered down that the noodles didn't absorb any flavor, and the beef was bland as well. The Dunhuang cold noodles were just oily. I didn't get much of the advertised peanut sauce, mostly cucumber flavor and a heavy amount of oil. So much oil that I found myself needing to wipe my mouth after nearly every bite. Both soup dumplings were sad -- over-steamed to the point where they completely fell apart when picked up. So I couldn't even taste the soup. Just go somewhere else for soup dumplings. Service-wise, I don't expect perfection, but the pacing was rough. Our food came out super slow-- we had to wait about 10 minutes between each dish. They actually forgot we ordered two of the signature noodles until we asked about it, which just added to the long wait. But after trying this place twice, I think I'm good. Won't be back for a third round. read more

I've wanted to try Dun Huang for a while now but kept putting it off for various reasons. Then, I saw a fellow Yelp friend's photos of their Flushing location and knew I just couldn't put it off any longer. But of course, I cheated and went to their 20th Ave, Brooklyn location instead :D * Lanzhou Beef Noodle Combo 兰州牛肉面套餐 $13.99 (signature beef noodles + egg + burger + soda) Dun Huang has two amazing combos, one with their signature beef noodles for $13.99 and the other with their soy & wine-braised beef noodles for $15.99, and both are great options especially if you want to sample the lot. - Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle 传统兰州牛肉面 We opted for their Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle, and although it's advertised with a chili pepper sign and comes with their house-special chili oil, it wasn't all that spicy. The noodles were chewy and bouncy, the broth was mild and lightly flavored, and the beef and radish were surprisingly tasty. - Stewed Pork Burger 猪肉夹馍 * Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger 羊肉夹馍 $4.95 All I can say is this was a beautiful mistake. The server taking our order asked if we wanted pork or lamb, and I answered pork, although I was incredibly confused since I thought she was talking about the noodles. I even asked her, "Isn't it beef?" It wasn't until after that I realized she was referring to the burger and at that point, I was like "sh*t" since my sister and I both wanted to try their Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger. Anyhow, we thought their Stewed Pork Burger was delicious and ended up loving it so much that we decided to order their Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger as well. Surprisingly, we preferred their pork over their lamb and thought the lamb was too gamey despite being so heavily seasoned. * Pork Intestine (2pcs) 肥肠 $3.95 * Beef (5pcs) 牛肉串 $9.95 A bit pricey for their size but incredibly tasty and well-seasoned. * Spicy Curly Fries 天蚕土豆 $7.50 Highly recommend their fries! The fries were crispy and hot on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We initially asked the staff for ketchup packets, which they were happy to provide, but assured us that we wouldn't need. And from one ketchup lover to the next, trust me, you definitely won't need ketchup (unless you want that bit of sweet tanginess). * Chicken Salad 口水鸡 $8.95 I love all things spicy and this was right up my alley. It was a bit too spicy for my sister (who choked multiple times), but it was perfect for me. I gobbled every last bit up, even the cilantro which I usually hate. **Be sure to ask about their vouchers! read more

I'm always craving food from here. Their noodles are comforting with a kick of spice. Their dry pot here has different options and made with a numbing spice.

The dry pot here seems to be the spiciest option of all other spots in 86st, which is why I always return. read more

Currently still their soft opening and I would definitely come back. Could use a little more seasoning on the skewers but overall is pretty good. The pricing is super cheap for skewers. The shrimp was super crunchy, the beef was tender, and the squid wasn't chewy. The noodle texture was perfect and the broth was light. They opened not too long ago so definitely could use improvements. Would recommend the fries (ate it before I could take a pic)! read more

Ordered the braised beef noodle soup, grilled eggplant, lamb skewers and pork intestine skewers and the fried meat pie with pork filling. I would order the noodles, eggplant and meat pie again. The skewers were fine but lacked a bit of flavor and char. The braised beef noodle soup had a yummy broth that was comforting on a cold winter day. We chose the thick noodles which were a bit too thick and the beef was a bit too lean but still good. The meat pie was delicious nice and airy. The grilled eggplant was very savory and addicting. Service was friendly and quick though they did get one of my items incorrect. Ordered eggplant salad but got the grilled eggplant which in the end was fine since the grilled eggplant was delicious. Would def come back again. Very reasonable prices for a decent portion size. read more

Hooray for a new non-Cantonese/sushi restaurant in Bensonhurst! Located on an inconspicuous block right off of 86th street (we initially walked right past it), Dun Huang is serving up some mean hand pulled noodle dishes. They're still in their soft opening phase but I honestly couldn't tell because the waitresses that served us were so skilled and attentive and super friendly. One of them saw that we were having trouble breaking up the noodles and immediately provided us a pair of scissors! Tea was served promptly upon getting seated and dishes came out in a jiffy after ordering. We tried: - N3 Soy and wine braised beef noodles: Our favorite dish. The beef was tender, the noodles were springy, and the broth was flavorful. I saw a lot of reviews bashing on the lukewarm temperature of the broth but I personally didn't mind. I mean do you really want to be burning your tongue on boiling broth?? Especially if you're already starving and hangry?? - N5 Zha jiang noodles: The consistency of the sauce and the noodles is spot on but I found the flavor of the sauce too bland. - N8 Dunhuang cold noodles: Yum! Very flavorful! Loved the spiciness of the chili oil and peppercorns and subtle hint of peanut sauce. - C7 Chicken salad- Cold chicken in a chili oil, peanut and cilantro sauce. Would've preferred to have the chicken cut in thicker slices but other than that, no complaints. I feel like this restaurant is ready to officially open. The servers are excellent, the food is delicious, and the decor is trendy/modern. I know I'll definitely be back when they do because there are still so many menu items that I want to try! read more

I've been on the hunt for the best beef noodle soup and I have found it here!!! The broth is rich and flavorful, but also clean and clear in color. Other places just give you bits & ends of the meat or tendons which I absolutely despise BUT this place gives you a HEAPING portion of beef, which you have to appreciate!! Ample seating inside. Service is always quick. They got my boyfriends noodle wrong but quickly fixed the situation. read more

Great to have a Northwestern Chinese hand-pulled noodle spot in the area. I've visited their other locations as well and all the menus are quite similar, if not, the same. The hand-pulled noodles are really good, has the right texture and consistency. I love the option of the different sizes they offer because it really does matters to all the noodle lovers out there. This particular location is fairly new, spot is bright, clean and spacious. Service is very nonchalant and could be more attentive at times. More effective to wave them down to get what you need. My go to is always the non spicy Lanzhou noodle. Other than that, the eggplant salad is really good and I'd also recommend the spicy cumin lamb burger, lamb skewers and mung bean noodles. skip the dry chicken salad, and unmemorable potato salad and grilled intestines. read more

Second day since it opened we decided to drop by and see if it's similar to the 8th ave location. Ordered their signature Lan zhou mein , pork burger; and eggplant salad. The pork burger bun is not crispy and the pork lacks flavor. This one I would skip. Eggplant salad was delicious, especially the sauce. The signature Lan zhou mein was disappointing since the soup was not hot, and there were really only 4 ingredients : radish , beef, noodle, cilantro . It lacked other ingredients and wished they would put possibly bok Choy or something else in there. Lastly, after paying the waitress immediately tried to pack everything up and dropped the cup of tea on my mom. They should have waited till we got up to leave and not rush once we paid. read more

I was so hyped to see Dun Huang pop up in this neighborhood. I usually loveee the one in Sunset Park. This one feels small, but they fit a lot of seating into the open concept dining area. The place is clean and cozy. I got my regular Beef Skewers which did not disappoint. It's well-seasoned and with the right cuts of beef that makes it juicy. The Cucumber Salad is a must get. It's a refreshing appetizer and dip it in their chili oil, it's so delightful. Their chili oil is crack. For someone like me who tolerates mild spice, this is my favorite chili oil of all. We also got the Pan Fried Chicken Noodles, which was tasty, but they didn't give us Thick Noodles as it should have had. I'm going to be coming back to try the noodle soup and other skewers. Service was great. They are quick and efficient and packaged my leftovers very well. I can't wait to come back! read more

Came here with my mom and we both loved the dishes we tried!! We ordered the eggplant appetizer and pork intestine skewers to share and each got a bowl of their signature beef noodles. The spicy version comes with some chili oil but if you dine in, they also have chili oil and vinegar on the table that you can add yourself! We were so surprised for the quality of the noodles, it's a huge bowl for less than $10 and had so many different toppings including beef slices and radish. The eggplant was amazing as well, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce it came with was garlicky and had so much flavor. Everything was delicious, the vibe of the restaurant blended traditional and modern plus the staff were friendly too! Might be my new go-to restaurant for noodles!! read more

I think it's time to update this review especially after I've been to many new Chinese fast casuals in the area. Relatively speaking, this one is different and better than the rest (not perfect ofc). Maybe because they're on 85st instead of 86st, they're never packed. I've never seen them more than half full. I appreciate that as a customer but also worry about their business. Seats by the window are often chilly. I always order the beef sirloin noodle. My parents have tried other things but none appeal to me. At $10 a noodle, it's so much cheaper than the other options nearby which are like $12-$15. I like the texture of their hand pulled noodles more than all the rice noodles around. The only "problem" is how their hand pulled noodles are very long and tangled. It takes some effort to pull a clean noodle. Their broth quality is not consistent. The flavor is generally the same but sometimes it's strong or weaker. The temperature is usually not piping hot enough for my mom but I think it's tolerable. The meat tastes aight with some pieces tougher than others. We like asking for extra cilantro and they legitimately give a lot. If you pay with cash, $30 gets you a $3 coupon to use next time. Two big flaws here. One is how the blast Chinese autotuned music that's so old school. I disagree with their boss/manager's music taste here. It really does bother me especially on days I'm not feeling well to start with. The other flaw is the Mandarin speaking staff. Like what I said, I have a language barrier and I can't help it that affects my eating experience. Bensonhurst still relatively has more Cantonese speakers (perhaps maybe not anymore idk). read more

The staff is really nice and patient. The skewers were great but pricey. All places that have skewers are pricey but they didn't have much skewers per order for that price. The noodles were great. You definitely get a freshly made noodle dish and they are long noodles and hard to pull apart. The food was filling and would definitely recommend. It has a peaceful atmosphere and enough space. They weren't full of people when I was there. It was clean and just ready for business. read more

Not for XLB. read more

The food was light and delicious. Emphasis on the light. Spicy cumin lamb burger: had a ~slight~ kick, but the savory flavor and perfect texture of the meat + naan was there! Also got an extra order of naan to dip into chili oil-- fluffy and pleasant. N1. Signature lanzhao beef noodle & N4. Soy & wine braised beef noodle sirloin: had clean broths that we drank up completely, wheat noodles had the right amount of chew, and there was plenty of cilantro. (Since I love cilantro, that's a plus for me). Spice levels were extremely mild, but extra chili oil is available on the table for you! Chicken wings: if you're having a craving, these will satisfy it. The batter is on the thicker side, but it is still crispy. Juicy on the inside, too. Not greasy! *soup could have been a tad hotter in temperature to keep warm the entire time, but that is my personal preference. It was hot when it came to the table. Overall, happy with the portions, flavor, and service! Sweet waitress. The restaurant itself has a beautiful design with nice lighting.

This restaurant is very close to our home and I had wanted to try it for a while. However, initially, I was afraid that the food would be very spicy because I saw all these spicy noodle places opening up in our neighborhood. We finally tried it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and everything was very good! I was happy to see a lot of non-spicy options. We ordered the traditional (non-spicy) beef noodle, the pork burger and BBQ pork intestine. It was so good that we went again this past weekend to try other items on the menu. I really like the decor and ambiance of the restaurant as well. We will definitely come back and have already recommended this restaurant to others. read more

I got one of the classic noodles and a pork burger. The food was OK, but the service and cleanliness were not. I saw a large roach crawl across the floor and reported it to the waitress. She didn't bother to do anything. I understand NY isn't the cleanest place and with all the garbage on the streets, the rat and roach situation is exacerbated, but if you're going to run a restaurant you have to do a little better. I will not come back again. read more
