    Solid LanZhou Noodles. Probably the best I've had in Los Angeles. Makes Northern Restaurant (Suo Feng Yuan) look like the minors. What I liked, soup base clear, had hints of Sand Ginger, Umami Bone Broth, hints of cinnamon, heavy parsley/ cilantro, fennel, star anise, black cardamom, white peppercorns, mmmm, I can taste the broth even now, 2 days after that meal, very distinct, and when paired with their in-house chilli oil, not the one on the table, the actual spicy one they exclusively keep inside the kitchen, you can taste the additional layers to the chilli oil and it just brings the entire LanZhou Noodles to a whole another level. The lamb Rou Jia Mou was really filling. I liked the quantity, not overtly big, not too greasy, and had just the right amount of protein to keep the dish an appetizer, as you await the main course. Pickedled Sweet Kimchi Cabbage was also very enjoyable, although I prefer the in house ones made at Yumi Time in City of Industry better crispiness to the bite in their version and more balanced taste. A solid four, because I'm biased. Having worked with two extremely talented masters in Phoenix Arizona, I've tasted what could be the best LanZhou Noodles and Best Xiao Long Bao any seasoned restaurant staff could ask for. My former colleague Hand Pulled Noodle Master chef Shuai used to head the reknown LanZhou Noodles place in Gaithersburg Maryland serving up all those Ambassadors, Lobbyists, DC Politicians, and when we were in Phoenix Arizona, along with Pastry / Flour Dim Sum Master Chef Sister Ying, we concocted probably the best Xiao Long Bao / Rou Jia Mou and LanZhou Hand Pulled Noodles to ever grace the lands of Arizona and in my opinion, was far superior than any other place in Los Angeles. But again that's just me. I'm biased and I've been blessed to sit down, and have worked with some of the best small kitchen crews and experience great staff meals. And this leads to me to my conclusion: Yes, I'm putting this restaurant officially on my #2 for Chinese Noodle Soups in LA. This place will from now on be in my casual rotation. A no frills, real, down to Earth Noodle Shop. Why I like it? Just the overall setting doesn't try too much. On the surface it looks really plain, boring, not much to expect. But once you try it, it just suddenly makes sense, this can be your go-to Pho shop but for LanZhou Noodles and certain types of Cumin Lamb Chow Mein. #1 Corner Beef Noodle House in El Monte #2 Lan Noodle in West Covina

    Braised Beef Noodle Soup
    Allen L.

    LAN Noodle has been on my radar for awhile but I've always been lazy to head towards West Covina to give them a try. That will now change because it was that good! I got the Braised Beef Noodle Soup with Wide Flat Noodle and in Medium Spicy. Everything was exactly to my tastes. Fantastic hand pulled noodles with great texture, delicious soup and their chili is actually spicy, numbing and very flavorful. They are heavy handed with the spice, I'd say their medium is a typical extra spicy. I typically order extra spicy elsewhere but was trying to cut down on the oil a bit so got medium here and was pleasantly surprised that the level of spice was just right for me. If you're not use to spice, definitely get mild or no spice. This is a dish I would get over and over again and never get tired of it!

    Good price for combo. The appetizer was a bit disappointing. The noodles are good , they have different cuts of noodles. Service is what it is. They seem short staffed.

    I'm not too fond of noodles but was craving for soup and decided to try this place because of their favorable reviews. Customer service was friendly, fast and efficient. I ordered the braised beef (mild), portion was huge and the spicyness was just the right amount. I liked that you can choose the type of noodle and you can really tell it was made fresh. I would definitely go back to try the other items on their menu.

    Braised Beef Soup, $15.99 prior to tax

    This LAN Noodle location can be found in the same plaza as Tokyo Central, specifically next door to Dunkin Donuts/ Baskin Robbins. I have been to this location before in the past and had ordered the braised beef noodle soup in the past and decided to make a to go order last Sunday night as a last minute birthday dinner for my mother (we had other plans initially but life emergencies called for other plans so I did my best to improvise so that we could still celebrate mom). I decided to get Lan Noodle because I like to hold to the birthday tradition to have noodles on one's birthday. And we were within a reasonable driving distance from where we were at the time so I had my husband make a phone order while I drove over. My husband ended up ordering the following over the phone for pick up: Braised Beef with Wide Flat Noodles, $15.99 prior to tax- My husband remembered that he liked the dish I had ordered previously and so he decided to get this. I appreciate that the noodles were packed separately so that they would not be soggy. My mom really enjoyed this dish and so did my husband. I didn't get a chance to get any since they two of them ate it all. Dan Dan Noodles with Wide Flat Noodles, $14.99 prior to tax- I asked my husband to ordered this dish because I like dan dan noodles. But I felt the sauce and flavors were a little too salty. I ended up mixing this with a little rice to help make it less salty. I liked the wide flat noodles (you can choose the thickness of noodles, such as round, knife cut, etc). Tomato Egg with Rice, $13.99 prior to tax- A favorite among all of us, my husband decided to get this dish. You can order this dish with noodle instead of you prefer but my husband thought it would be good to have variety and went with rice. The tomato eggs dish was good, had the savory and sweet flavors. ------------------------------- (Total= $49.35 after tax) Service was friendly when we came in. Our food was ready upon the time promised. My mom was happy with her early birthday dinner (which is most important). I would definitely come back and would consider dining in the next time with my little girl dog since there are 2 small tables outside.

    Located at the same plaza as Tokyo Central and Fitness19. Parking is easy. Food: Ordered Signature LAN noodle. You can choose different spice level. They make the noodle there on the spot. I really enjoyed the thick noodle. Very fresh and chewy. The broth is not bad. The meat, good thing it is very thinly sliced otherwise it might be very dry. Service: Almost non existing. Had to get my own menu from the counter. Cleanliness: Their dining chairs could use some scrubbing as well as the bathroom. Bathroom: Needs some cleaning too

    BEEF SOUP
    Jane K.

    SOOOO GOOOOD Knives cut thick noodles with the pickled mustard green noodle soup I can come here weekly wow! The crushed cucumber and the pig ear appetizer has a good kick!!! The pear drink is also soooo good My friends got the original braised beef noodle soup and it was very delightful but I love the extra flavor the pickled greens add to the soup. Definitely will be back.

    Hand-pulled noodles? Say no more... i ran faster than a chopstick chasing a dumpling downhill!! We hit up this spot, and let me tell you, the noodle show alone deserves a standing ovation!!! Right there, front and center, they pull those noods like pasta acrobats!! I dove mouth-first into the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (with the wide-flat noodles, because go big or go home). Meanwhile, my son got the Spicy Popcorn Chicken, which turned out to be more "mild pop" than "firecracker," but it was crispy and snackable... like medium-spicy nuggets that went to culinary school. The noodle soup had perfectly spiced broth, beef that actually had flavor, and a portion size that could easily feed a small village or one hangry adult (me)!!! Service: Very attentive, but shy. Restroom: Immaculate and fancy. We got in just before the crowd, so I felt like a foodie ninja... in and out before the chaos. Parking: Plenty of parking in the Tokyo Central lot, so no need to fight for a spot. Overll would definitely be back!! Oh yes!! I love my noodles like I love my comedy, hand-pulled and a little spicy!!!

    LAMB BURGER
    Tiffany T.

    Go to spot for hand pulled noodles! It really makes a difference. Note that wide noodles will be pretty filling but texture is quite nice. The dishes here are portioned well, good flavor, and consistent. I prefer this spot to Mian, for example. The dan dan noodles were good, wish there was more minced pork. I might try thinner noodles next time, just a personal preference. And the next day I ate it cold after mixing some water in to soften the noodles and I daresay it tasted even better cold! The lamb "burger" was tasty, though some pieces were a bit chewy and I had to remove a few chunks because of it. The spicy tofu app was fine, I'd probably try other apps next time. Plenty of parking, service was quick.

    Dry Mixed Noodle with meat

    It felt good being back here. Haven't had this place in a few years and I realized that's not good and I need to try to do better because there was a lot of great dishes I had to get reacquainted with. Especially their soups. And the weather was calling for it too. I had the lamb soup + their pan fried dumplings. Once more once again it was all very enjoyable.

    Outside of the storefront. Next to dunkin donuts and baskin robbins.

    Got to-go food today from LAN Noodle. This place is located in the tokyo central plaza and next to baskin robin and dunkin donuts. Plenty of parking spots here. The inside of this place is not that big. Service is decent and does not take too long yo get my food. Ordered the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, comes with sliced beef, small beef chunks, clear beef bone broth, daikon, cilantro, garlic greens, and the wide flat hand pulled noodles. You can pick your own spice level for the noodle. i ordered mild spice and it was kind of spicy for a mild level comparing to other places out there. I also ordered the spicy fried tofu as a side order. The spicy fried tofu is not that spicy as I am someone that can't handle that much spice. Both dishes are decent. For the Lan noodles, the wide flat noodles are huge so if you are someone that enjoys thin noodles, make sure to change your noodle option. They have 8 different kind of noodles but their signature one is the wide flat one. Overall, I would give a 3.5-4 star rating and I round it up to a 4 star based on we need to support small businesses especially if there is nothing bad I can complain about them. Do they have the best food? Not but decent enough for me to order from them next time if I'm craving for noodles.

    SPICY BEEF with wide noodles
    Emily E.

    If you enjoy having Noodle St, you may find yourself enjoying the various types of fresh noodles they have here as well! I ordered the spicy beef with wide noodles and was very happy with the noodle consistency that they freshly made. Food was 8.5/10. The service was okay since it felt like we had to ask for everything even though there were only two other parties. But overall, it was a good try. Be aware that the parking lot can get really busy since there is a market across the plaza.

    Braided Beef, wide flat noodle, medium spicy
    Jaylin G.

    My partner, his 2 kids, and I came for the first time today! The restaurant was empty but it immediately felt like one of those places you could tell is a gem. We were told to sit anywhere, and while we were looking at the menu for a little bit, Jia the woman taking care of us, came over and asked if it was our first time here. We of course said yes, and she told us we can go on yelp, look at the pictures and ask her about said dishes if we were curious. That was SUPER helpful because that's what my partner was going to do. Jia was super sweet and patient. When we were ready, my partner ordered the Braised Beef (medium spicy) with wide flat noodles, K ordered Braided Beef (mild) with wide flat, J ordered Lan Noodles with wide thine, and I ordered Dan Dan Noodles with wide flat & an order of veggie spring rolls. Oh my partner ordered the smashed cucumber salad for the table too! Everything came out really quickly. The noodles are made in house, they taste fresh and they're delicious! (I don't even like noodles like that) Everyone really liked their dishes! K said his dish was a little spicier than he thought it would be, mind you he is 13 though. The kids kept passing their beef and pork back and forth to each other because it was so good. My partner liked his dish but I tried it and I hoped for a little more flavor, especially in the beef. It wasn't spicy to me at all, but I only tried a spoonful. I have a feeling the spice gets heavier as you keep eating it. As my partner continued eating, he confirmed that it just kept getting better. The Dan Dan Noodles were good and flavorful, I just wish there was more sauce! The cucumber salad was fresh and you could taste what they used in it. The spring rolls were good, very basic but that's what I love about spring rolls. I would absolutely come back here, the wonderful and quick service is such a bonus. Thank you Jia!!! edit: I forgot to mention we got the Braided Pear Drink. IT WAS FIRE !!!!

They are located in Haven City Market West Covina. When you walk in, its in the back right hand side. Not hard to find at all. I got their OG Beef Noodle Soup / 招牌牛肉汤面 $17.00 and added an braised egg for $2. The noodles were my favorite. Hand crafted perfection and had that chewy doughy bite I love when noodles have. Just the right amount of slurp-ability and a great chew to it. Their broth soup was very unique to me; it had an herbal taste and a rich and complex flavor to it. Their OG Beef Noodle Soup came with their braised beef shank, mustard greens, tomato, and bok choy - all the elements I am looking for in a beef noodle soup. I did have to add an egg though, for an extra $2, which was unexpected and a bit of a let-down for me. Their braised egg wasn't as flavorful and it seemed a bit dry in fact. I do love eggs especially with my noodles, and sometimes it can even be the star, so it was sad to me it didn't live up to be the $2 I paid. But that's okay! I would just come back here for just their fresh hand-crafted noodles - they are just that good! Like most of the restaurants at the market, I paid upfront and got a buzzer. It was ready in about 5 minutes and served hot and ready to dive in! The portion is huge so I even got to take about half home to enjoy at another time. It was even better re-warmed on my stove top the second time around. Shootout to the friendly staff here who are so genuinely kind. I witnessed a staff member helping another customer for about 10 minutes figure out what they wanted on the menu. They took the time to explain the menu and showed pictures, too. Just a very kind team here it seems! Thank you for the delicious beef noodle soup and your kind service. I will definitely be back soon!

    Good soup but not authentic Taiwanese flavor…read more I've been wanting to try this place out ever since I saw a video review, but unfortunately, it fell short in some ways. I tried the OG Beef Noodle Soup hoping it would taste like the ones in Taiwan, but as a Taiwanese myself, it tasted nothing like the distinct flavor of traditional beef noodle soup in Taiwan. If I have nothing to compare it to, it's a really good soup, very tender beef, and has qq noodles. However, was a bit oily and a bit of ma la (numbing) spiciness. The soup is very flavorful, tastes closer to Indian cuisine flavors to me though. The soup consistency is slightly thicker and murkier than what I expected. Personally, I would add more of the mustard greens. I ordered over the phone, super easy, friendly staff. Only took 10 minutes to prepare. It was ready right when I got there. I wish plastic wasn't used as the containers, especially with hot soup. I appreciate the paper bag though. The food quality is great but just not the Taiwanese flavor I know and love.

The pan fried buns were not very juicy, no complaints about the other items (XLB, garlic string beans, custard buns, pan fried dumplings). Our food came out very quickly! I think that the family style aspect struggles a bit due to a lack of table space/lazy Susan. My party was sat at the very back, near the kitchen, so it was almost unbearably hot. I think the area would have benefited from ceiling fans. Otherwise, if you enjoy traditional flavors in a modernized storefront, this place is a great contender!

Bento options include minced pork over rice, stewed pork and a few variations of it, popcorn chicken, fried pork chop or chicken. They got street food options like oyster omelette, shrimp omelette, assorted marinated meats, and popcorn chicken. If you dont feel like bento boxes, they also have noodle soups. I ordered a preserved veggie stewed pork bento along with an oyster pancake. I was able to do less rice and more veggies, they just switch the placement of rice with the broccoli, the difference is very small, you still get a hefty amount of rice. While the veggies were great, I ended up needing more rice because the stewed meat was on the saltier end. Oh well, mistakes were made and the whole meal was eaten nonetheless. The omelette however was a bit of a disappointment. The texture was lacking in eggs and the veggie wasn't A-choy. The pieces of oysters were clustered in one section, you get huge chunks of the corn starch filling. The whole thing wasn't mixed in too well. Next time I'd just do a bento and nothing else.

You order your food through their website accessed with a QR code. Then, you can self-serve water, iced tea, miso soup, and jelly desserts from a counter. The restaurant flavored the popcorn chicken well and didn't make it too oily. I enjoyed how the rice had minced pork on top. In general, the many flavors made the dish interesting. However, the curry and vegetables tasted a little bland for my taste. They had red pepper seasoning on the side, but I wish there was an option to make the popcorn chicken spicier. We enjoyed the miso soup as it was hot and flavorful. The self-serve aspect here reminded me of some restaurants in Taiwan in which you pick up your own water, chopsticks, and condiments. I have no meaningful comments about their service since the restaurant mainly just provides to food to you. Then, you go up to the cashier counter to pay for your bill. There is a lot of seating inside, and it was quiet when we visited on a late morning. The restaurant was hard to find since I wasn't familiar with the area, so it took me a couple tries and careful navigation to arrive.
