I had a great meal at iFresh Noodle! The food was delicious, flavorful, and well prepared. The noodles were so fresh and had a great texture to them! The spice level left a bit to be desired though as it wasn't as spicy as we expected, however the table had a container of chili oil to add to your liking! It's a little pricey, but if you're craving fresh hand pulled noodles, this is it! Service was great, they were attentive to our table even when it was busy during the lunch rush!
iFresh Noodle really surprised me with how well they executed both dishes I tried. The steamed chicken with chili sauce was a great starter. The chicken was super tender, and the chili sauce had a bright, tangy kick that felt refreshing since it's served cold. Only critique is that it was a bit salty. The 3-in-1 spicy biang biang noodles were also amazing. The noodles are thick, bouncy, and perfectly chewy. The tomato egg, slow-braised minced pork, and chili powder coat the noodles really well, giving you a mix of savoriness, sweetness, and some acidity. Definitely one of the best meals I've had in Boston.
My partner and I shared the spicy oil biang biang noodles w tomato & egg, Lanzhou beef brisket noodle soup w rice noodles, and BBQ lamb kebab skewers - TASTE: 5/5 - everything hit the spot! Loved the spicy oil & satisfying tomato egg in the biang biang noodles, tasty beef brisket, and spicy lamb skewers TEXTURE: 4/5 - enjoyed both the thick noodles and rice noodles, and tender beef and lamb PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $43 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - only 2 skewers in the order, otherwise good portions for lunch SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 1:15pm on a Saturday and a couple parties were seated. Food started coming out 10min after ordering via the QR code menu ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - didn't realize iFresh Noodle recently reopened. Small space w lots of great food pics on the walls. There didn't seem to be an a front-of-house bathroom PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot near Harvard Ave x Commonwealth Ave
The place is small, the service is good. Food is amazing I got the beef noodles. It's pretty affordable too. It taste authentic and not too salty
lamb cumin hand pulled noodle 5/5 came to this place for lunch on the weekend and was lucky that my friends had grabbed a spot for me ahead of time. There wasn't a long line of people waiting, but there were definitely customers waiting to be seated. I would recommend the dish I got. The level of spice is good for flavor but can definitely add more if you want more kick. Noodles were cooked almost al dente compared to other places that cook them a longer. As for the space itself, it's pretty small. Maybe like 20 seats and there's no double door so it can get cold as people come and go
Yum! Freshly made noodle. Biang biang noodle was my favourite. Pepper salt fried chicken is good side dish
iFresh Noodle, a beloved spot for its hand-pulled noodles, has made a strong comeback this year after a long closure due to a fire. The restaurant reopened with a new, more modern look. We placed a takeout order, and the service was fast, with our food prepped and ready quickly. We tried several dishes. The popcorn chicken with Thai basil seasoning was just alright; it was fried well but got a bit soggy, and while it had that signature basil taste, the seasoning wasn't too strong. The skewers were also average, lacking a lot of seasoning, but they did taste good. Where the meal truly stood out was with their signature hand-pulled lamb cumin noodles. The flavor on the noodles was excellent, and the noodles themselves had that perfect, stringy, not-too-firm texture that makes them special. The spice level was approachable and not too hot, and all the components of the dish paired together perfectly. It's a welcome return for a local favorite, proving that their core specialty is still a standout.
Lanzhou style soups and flavors might just not be my favorite. I thought the soup for the beef noodle soup was a bit bland, and it didn't have many pieces of beef. The cumin lamb biang biang mian was quite good, with the noodles super wonderfully chewy, though I wish there was more depth in flavor. Overall it was alright, pretty cheap, and quick.
Biang biang noodles TO DIE FOR! Very quick service, quick turnover. Place is small but nice. Point in getting in, enjoying delicious noodles, and getting out. And seriously, the noodle is so good, the lamb is so good, this is a GEM. Go!!
Hands down the BEST biang biang noodles in Boston after noodle king closed in longwood. The texture is so good, reasonable prices, and so many options too. They have both soup noodles and dry versions. There is minimal seating and first come first serve.
Although the place is titled "Lanzhou Beef Noodles蘭州牛肉麵," it actually serves noodles and rice noodles from several other regions in China. I came specifically for the biang biang noodles! Three-in-One Spicy Biang Biang Noodles: Super delicious!!! The noodles were perfectly wide and thick, with a wonderfully al dente texture. The pork was cut into large cubes, about one centimeter square, with a typical savory flavor from northern China. It was stewed until very flavorful, without any gamey taste, and the perfectly layered pork belly looked appealing. The tomato & egg stir-fry had plenty of eggs, not too shredded, making it very satisfying. It was only slightly thickened, resulting in a very smooth, scrambled egg texture, perfect for mixing with noodles. I ordered the chili powder mild, which was just right for me. It only had the aroma of oil, without being greasy at all. Although it was slightly different from the original Shaanxi version, I think it tastes even better, and the portion size was very generous, so I didn't mind the details. After all, I'm not from Shaanxi. Of course, it would be even better with some cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, or potato cubes, which was also the authentic recipe. After this successful experience, I'd love to try Wuhan hot dry noodles and Xinjiang stir-fried rice noodles next time! read more
For a late Saturday lunch, I decided to satisfy my noodle craving at iFresh noodle. I managed to find street parking a few blocks West of Harvard Ave near Silhouette Lounge w/o meters. I ordered the cumin lamb skewers ($6.95) and the cumin lamb biang biang noodle ($14.95). Both arrived w/in 5 minutes of ordering. The skewers were liberally seasoned and still juicy. The noodles had wide, bouncy noodles, The lamb possessed a fluffy texture similar to the fluffy tapioca powder treated beef at hot pot. The chili oil proved especially fragrant. The portion size for the noodles seemed on the lighter side. As an aside, when my friend first told me about "iFresh Noodle", I dismissed the establishment as the sort of multi-region do-every-style noodle place aimed at people that would consider orange chicken slightly exotic and did not plan on visiting. Only after he showed me the location and I realized it was the "Lanzhou Beef Noodles / 蘭州牛肉麵" place did I decide to try it. read more

Yes, friends, they are open again! I was so sad when they closed due to the fire years ago. The restaurant is beautifully redecorated, the staff are friendly, and the food is just as delicious as I remembered! I'm so glad they're back (as well as the other restaurants next door). read more

Yes, it's cramped; yes, the service may fluctuate; yes, it's cash only; yes, the noodles are FIREEEEEEE. Maybe 8 tables of 2, but they can be pushed together accordingly to fit your party size. Can't go wrong with the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, but my favorite was the Cumin Lamb Biang Biang noodles. The noodle texture was THERE, the flavors and seasoning were THERE, and the leftovers were TAKEN HOME. Do yourself a favor and come here ASAP. Name of this on UberEats is iFresh, but will show up as Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup on Google Maps. Now take this info and act accordingly. read more
A small hole in the wall place, cash only. Food I've tried: - SPICY LAMB HAND PULLED NOODLE ($12): the portion is smaller, however I think for the price it is fair. The noodles itself were chewy, and I definitely felt the hand pulled quality to them. I personally would have preferred slightly thinner noodles, as the glutinous mouthful distracted from the flavors of the meat at times. The lamb was very well prepared, not gamey at all and very tender. It was very well flavored, with the right amount of cumin and a slight spicy kick. Atmosphere: - Very small store, limited seating. Classic hole in the wall feel. - Water is self serve at the front. Service: - Unclear whether you are supposed to order at the counter or if someone comes to you. I just ended up ordering at the counter. Remember it is cash only, but the prices are reasonable. Overall: - Good for a quick bite of authentic tasting hand pulled noodles. read more
I can't believe I have not reviewed this restaurant yet! It has easily become one of my favorites in a very short time. THE. TASTIEST. NOODLES. They do advertise their meat dishes a lot but my favorites here are the two dishes last on their list - the Wuhan dry hot noodles and the Mala noodles. Both vegetarian (yay!). Wow, what flavors! Literally each noodle strand is coated with sauce/spice. The Wuhan noodles have a peanutty sauce with addition of tiny vinegar-ish green beans. The Mala noodles have mala spice (it can get very spicy, so ask for mild if you can't handle it!), bok choy, and roasted peanuts. Order a tea egg on the side, and you're golden. I've tried their spicy crispy chicken too and it was good but it's these two noodle dishes that make me want to come back every weekend. It's a small place (only takeout in the current environment) and cash only. If you haven't been here, you are missing out! read more

Came here for lunch w momma as first time patrons. WOW. Lanzhou beef noodle soup: Perfect QQ noodle texture, super tender.melt in your mouth beef slices, adjustable chili flake oil level, light broth. Cumin lamb dry noodle: springy noodle texture, full flavor, lamb not gamey/smelly Liangpi: nice n spicy, liangpi well made w nice bite, good amount of cilantro &scallions. Wish there were more gluten pcs Scallion pancake: not our Fave, a bit too oily, had to dab off excess w napkins... And wish they were denser Will def be back! read more
This restaurant is the new kid on the block. Im excited to see the restaurant scene is Allston expand and I'll be back to try more noodle dishes. This place seats about 6 or 7 tables (2 per table). Felt a little cramped inside but that's allston for ya. I got the wushan noodles which were actually noodles with peanut sauce, not what I was expecting - unless you're Asian, I'm not sure if you'd like this. Service is nothing special here, I had to request a few times to get my water filled and there isnt someone actively looking out for your table. read more
iFresh Noodle is so delicious! Really great gem in the heart of Allston. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and service was nice and speedy. Portions were very generous--we couldn't finish anything, haha. Entrees will run you $10 or so. The Wuhan Dry Hot Noodles were less peanut-forward than some of the other places in Boston (e.g., Chili Square) and more sesame/roasty-toasty forward, which we enjoyed! Pig ears were excellent, spicy and oily and a little acidic to cut the fat, and the liangpi tasted like you might get in Beijing. Overall, quite happy with this place. We'll be back soon! read more

*** CASH ONLY *** hidden gem in Allston. My favorite dish here is the dry ban ban noodles. The thick hand pulled noodles are covered in a spicy cumin lamb sauce! And each bite was so chewy. I also tried their lamb bun. The flavoring you're the lamb is so gooood! It's a bit pricy for just one bun but worth the try! The brown sauce chicken is very flavorful and pairs best with a side order of rice. Be careful when eating the chicken because their are small pieces of bones with some of it! The place is really small and only seats about 20 people. I would recommend coming when they open, during off lunch hours, or getting it to go. 10/10 would recommend! read more
Yum! Came here for dinner on a Friday night around 7:15pm and we were seated after about 15 minutes. We had 1. cumin lamb skewers - these are to DIE for! So juicy and punchy with flavor. 2 skewers come with each order. 2. Lanzhou beef noodle soup - without the chili oil, it almost looks like a pho dish. The broth is light, and the noodles are delicious and QQ :) 3. Spicy oil biang biang noodle - noodles also on point. The spicy oil was not very numbing - wished for more flavor here, and also a stronger umami flavor. Wish I saved the lamb skewer to eat with this dish. 4. Spicy oil Cumin lamb noodles - again, noodles amazing. Same comments as above on the spicy oil. The lamb pieces were also good but not as amazing as the skewers I'd like to come back again to sample more of the menu and will definitely get the lamb skewers again!! Please note they don't have a restroom for customers to use....which I found to be really odd. Also wish they had legit chopsticks instead of the disposable wooden ones, because the ones they gave us were really low quality and I found it exceptionally difficult to grasp the pull the very long noodles. Water is self-serve at the front and you have to ask for spoons and napkins if you want. Service was really lacking but the noodles were QQ and amazing, so I will come back until I can figure out how to make these on my own.... read more

This is a fantastic little gem for cumin lamb noodles. The noodles were really awesome! Perfectly chewy noodles mixed with savory, tingly chili oil and tender pieces of lamb. The perfect amount of spice - flavorful without being firey! read more

Came here on a Saturday around 7:30 pm with a group of 7 people. This place is quite small, but they were so accommodating and pushed tables together for us. Note that this place is cash only and also has very limited options if you can't tolerate spicy foods. Only two of the items on their menu can be ordered without any spice, so I ended up getting the brisket noodle soup. The portion sizes are crazy huge! I always try to finish my food even if it means stuffing myself, but I could not finish all the noodles. The broth was extremely rich and was so delicious. The noodles had a pretty good texture. There wasn't much brisket, and the pieces were either dry or had too much chewiness/tendons. I tried my boyfriend's cumin lamb biang biang noodles, which was really good (loved the noodle texture), but was unbearably spicy! I didn't know this dish could be ordered with a lower spicy level, so I would be curious to see if I would be able to tolerate it. We also ordered the scallion pancakes to share, which were solid but definitely on the greasy side. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, but would have loved if there were more options for no spicy or lower spicy levels. read more

Soooo yummy! Delicious broth with good flavor. Noodles were delicious as well. Meat quality was ok, nothing comparable to the meat in NY of course. Reminds me of the most "homey" anf comforting food you can probably find when you've missed moms cooking :) Place is cash only, so be prepared! The customer service is great, all questions asked were responsed thoughtfully! Definitely would come here at least 1x a week :) read more

Cash only! New noodle joint in Allston so my friend and I wanted to check it out. We started with the scallion pancake. We did not like the scallion pancake. It was just oily and thick. My friend and I ordered Lanzhou beef brisket noodle soup ($10.95) and I ordered the Lanzhou beef noodle soup ($10.95). Both beef noodle soups were flavorful and the noodles were nice and chewy. Service was alright but we had to ask a few times to have our water refilled. read more
*There are 2 yelp pages for this place: iFreshnoodles & Lanzhou Fresh Noodles This place is perfect for warming your soul on a cold day. This new noodle spot is small and filled with people. You know an asian place is good and authentic if it is filled with Asian people. I got the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup ($10.95) and the Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodles ($10.95). Beef Noodle Soup: All the spices make this noodle soup so flavorful. The noodles are cooked to perfection and the chili oil on the side is the best to cut down the greasiness. The meat is tender but not fatty. Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodles: First of all, the noodles are chewy and wicked long like how pulled noodles should be. The lamb is also very flavorful and the chili oil cuts the grease really well. This is definitely my new favorite noodle soup in the Boston area! *CASH ONLY* read more

I called and they said they don't use halal meat, but a review in the Lanzhou Fresh Noodles page said they do use halal meat. Can owner confirm?
