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
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!
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
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!!
LAN noodle was delicious. Stopped by on Tuesday evening for dinner, and Im so glad we came here. Ordered the beef broth noodle soup. There are like 8 options for noodle size, we got the flat wide noodle. It was a bit too wide and a bit difficult to eat because the pieces are so long. However, the noodle texture was great. The broth was so flavorful and the beef was tender. Also ordered the mild level of spice and it was just right. Still a tad bit spicy but good flavor. Tried the Xiao long bag on they had good flavor and packed with just the right amount of pork. Our server was very attentive and quick. The play is small, very casual and clean.

兩年前疫情最嚴重的時候，想要探索新開餐廳的風味，依靠的就是各大外送平台的幫忙，且如果是外送到家還是很好吃的餐點，就代表這間餐廳有著水準之上的表現，也經常連著好幾天都叫同一間餐廳的外送，期待在短時間內就把這間餐廳的菜色吃遍。這間位於 West Covina 專賣蘭州手工拉麵的店家就是一間符合上述標準的美味餐廳，比起坊間其它同類型的餐廳，這裡的蘭州拉麵風味更加精緻，一連吃個好幾天也不會膩。 首間店開設在 Arcadia 時即靠著各式手工麵條獲得大眾的支持與喜愛，甚至獲得主流媒體的報導，準備在 West Covina 開設時則碰上了疫情最嚴重的時候，但也憑藉著餐點的美味站穩了腳步，撐過了疫情的衝擊繼續提供好吃的蘭州拉麵給顧客。 坊間已經有許多店家在販售蘭州拉麵，但多離自己偏好的口味有段距離，不是過鹹就是味精過重吃來膩口，可能就屬於一個月吃一次的類型，直到吃過這家的蘭州拉麵後，才發現原來可以連著好幾天都吃也不會膩。 店家提供多種粗細的麵條供顧客選擇，包括寬條的褲帶、平截面、圓形、細條等等，在店內點餐的話還可以欣賞現場製作的過程。不大的店面裡頭有大約三分之一都是廚房與製麵的餐臺，座位並不算多，在用餐時間前來要稍微等位。 以蘭州拉麵的餐館類型來說，這裡的餐點料理也算豐富，光是麵的口味與作法都有不少可以選擇，再搭配個涼菜組合就是美味的一餐。可以點小圖放大看詳細內容。 各種口味的小菜都值得一試的，是那種調味足量但吃來又不至於感到過油過鹹的程度，點兩份葷菜像是雞胗與牛腱配個素菜，佐餐開胃配上主食恰到好處。素菜類的小菜，像是辣味炸豆腐、泡菜、芹菜、海帶等，甚至是熱豆皮，各自的風味也相當夠，點來當下酒小菜都很適合 蕃茄雞蛋麵是一道家常小吃美食，卻改變我以往對蘭州拉麵的認識。選用最寬的麵條，手工拉製的口感在外送餐盒中受到擠壓，但拌開麵條讓雞蛋與蕃茄的香氣均勻附著在麵條後，送入口中透過咀嚼那股酸香甜鹹美妙的風味在爽快的彈性口感中不斷釋放，大人小孩都喜歡的一道麵食。透過外送少了現烤即食的香氣與溫度，但肉塊的品質與調料的搭配還是可以的，在店裡吃會更好吃。 涼皮與涼麵都是在天熱時吃來特別爽快的美食，個人更喜歡涼皮多一些，特別是多了來自麵筋的口感。 無論是品嚐哪種口味的麵食，店家自製的辣油絕對是能將風味更加提昇的關鍵，辣度雖不是特別突出刺激，但香味絕對是會讓人流連忘返的。 店家提供多種不同粗細口感的麵條，就算是點用一樣的調味種類，選用不同的麵條也能讓人吃出不同的樂趣，這也是讓顧客吃完隔天還想再吃的原因。 自己首推的是蕃茄雞蛋麵，但這裡主打的蘭州牛肉麵也是不可錯過的美味。豐富的配菜與同時提供切片與切塊兩種不同口感的牛肉，還有喝來香濃卻不會過份刺激的湯頭風味，平時吃完蘭州風味牛肉麵會感到的口渴也不太明顯。點用湯麵外帶回家吃，記得先把麵條拌開在加湯，較能吃到貼近在店內用餐的餐點風味。 雖然自己還是偏好台式紅燒牛肉麵的作法，但這裡吃到的紅燒牛肉麵又是另外一種截然不同的風味，雖然肉質不如蘭州牛肉麵的細緻，但香氣更加濃郁，加顆滷蛋更是豪華的麵食享受。 寬條富有嚼勁的麵條是自己的心頭好，但每次吃到細麵時也發現口感與暢快吸食感受也不賴，總之每種手工製作的麵條都很好吃，依照當天的心情來點用是不會出錯的。 有時想要吃個口味更加強烈油膩的餐點時，炒麵是能夠滿足味覺對重口味的追求，特別是淋上大量店家自製的辣油後，香辣的風味與油香的口感搭配特別過癮。 有時想吃點清淡的口味，全素蔬菜配料搭配細麵，沒有太多的口味變化刺激，但也是輕輕淡淡飽餐一頓。 炒飯當然沒有麵類餐點那樣具有讓人吃完眼睛一瞇露出微笑的美味魅力，但如果家中有小朋友想吃口味清淡一點的餐點也是可以點用的，口味中規中矩。 蔥油拌麵鹹香開胃，配上能夠均勻拌開醬汁的中細麵條特別適合，滿口蔥油香十分夠味，過癮程度也不輸給吃帶有肉類配菜的其它口味麵食。 總之，這是一間每道麵點都有水準之上表現的美味蘭州拉麵，在店內享用品嚐剛煮出來暖呼呼帶有飽滿香氣，在餐點最佳的美味狀態下享用更是過癮，推薦給喜歡蘭州風味手工拉麵的朋友。 read more

Out of the many Chinese restaurants in the West Covina area, LAN Noodle was one of the only places I could find that serves Lanzhou handpulled noodles. With a sharp craving for some of these noodles, I figured I'd drop by and give this popular restaurant a try. Coming to dine in on a Sunday evening around 7:45PM, the first thing I noticed is the amount of empty tables there were. Even though half of the restaurant had Asian families eating in, there was no wait and I was seated immediately. Looking at the menu for the first time, there were many items to choose from. But for most people, the Signature Noodle Soup is the section to look for. In addition to choosing the soup, selecting the spiciness and the 8 different noodle shapes makes this one of the most customizable Asian noodle soups . For this experience, I decided to try their LAN Noodle with wide flat noodles and mild spice. This dish was $15 at the time of writing this review. Looking at the distribution of ingredients, the noodles took up the most space by far at around 80% of the dish. Beef chunks and sliced beef took up about 10%, and the daikon and other garnishes took up the last 10%. Because there is so much noodle in the bowl, one would expect the starch to make most people full. But ironically, the dish was only filling at most. The noodles did not seem to have that much fiber, the pieces of beef were thinly sliced, and there wasn't all that much daikon. For 15 dollars in the West Covina area, the price was on par with a majority of other places you can find. But because the portion was a little less than other noodle soups at this price, the price to portion ratio for this dish was only decent. The taste of the food was pretty good for the most part. In other words, this dish is great if looking for a fresh tasting soup with fresh ingredients. Otherwise, the flavors lean more neutral. Starting with the broth, the beef flavor is definitely present in the soup. However, the broth tasted like it was filtered and almost tasted like warm water. Stirring in the house-made chili oil gave some more flavor which was appreciated. But by doing so, the soup became more sharp which detracted from the flavor already in the bowl. Moving on to the beef, the texture was softer than I initially thought which made it easy to consume. And with that, the beef was also more lean than I initially thought as well. Only thing I would wish for is larger slices of beef. Of anything I had in the bowl, the noodles were by far the best. Each noodle was soft, but not gooey which made them easy to both bite and swallow. On top of this, the flour used came to the forefront of the taste composition and made the whole dish taste grounded. In all, I would personally order something else with noodles. But at the same time, this dish wasn't bad by any means. As I was walking out, I noticed a newspaper clipping mentioning that LAN Noodle was named one of LA's top 38 restaurants in 2022. And after trying out their food, I can see why. The price of the food was standard, sure. But the quality of the ingredients was definitely the draw for myself and many of the other families dining in. If I had to recommend a change, I would ask for more flavor in the broth to strengthen the foundation of the dish. But otherwise, I'd argue LAN Noodle deserves a solid 4 out of 5 stars! read more
Where do I begin with this review. Today was my first visit to LAN and I decided to come for an early dinner around 5:30pm to avoid the dinner rush. The restaurant was empty and we were seated and ordered quickly. We ordered 2 noodle dishes, 1 pork feet appetizer, 1 spicy popcorn chicken, and 1 beef burger bun. Everything was going fine until the food came. Noodles-- we ordered L1N5 and a sesame noodle. The noodles came out pretty fast (about 20 min) and we started eating it. They're both on the bland side but the noodles had a good chew and texture. My noodle dish was just beef, noodles, and soup-- no vegetables in there so it was very plain and not what I expected (photos below). The beef burger bun came out next. To our surprise, it was cold. So we just put it aside and continued waiting for the rest of our dishes. We asked the waiter about this and were told the beef one is served cold, but not the lamb or pork-- which is stated no where on the menu. I don't advise ordering this. I did not sign up for a cold beef bun. We finished both our noodle dishes and followed up on the rest of our food. We were told the pork feet and popcorn chicken are made fresh and take extra time. We agreed to wait. We did not expect to wait 1 hr for the popcorn chicken and pork feet!! We continuously followed up too. When the pork feet finally arrived, it was COLD! Not even hot. At this point, we asked the waiter again that we just waited an hour for this and it's cold! She was apologetic and said she would make it hot, but we would have to wait again. By now, the restaurant was now packed and we didn't want to sit any longer. We paid for the bill and said we would wait outside since they said it would take another 5 min. After we wait 5min, we go in to pick it up only to discover they gave the dish to another party! What a mess!! They said it would take another 5 min to prepare it. What I don't understand is why they were able to prep it in 5 min for the second and third time but over 1 hour for the first time?? Terrible first visit. The restaurant is very short staffed-- at some point, our waiter became the chef in the kitchen so we had to flag down a different waiters for all our issues. read more

Pretty small shop, but I like how cozy this place was! It's not too busy either, which was really nice. There are plenty of parking spaces since its a shared plaza with many other stores, so parking can be easy to find. I ordered the braised beef noodle and I got the wide flat noodles for fun lol. I normally just get thin noodles, but the wide flat ones looked really interesting! The broth was pretty nice, a bit salty when I first had it, but then it tasted pretty nice and warm as you keep having it. The beef was actually a bit tough? I wish it was more soft and tender, but they were basically like beef cubes, which they can be so much better. Though, the noodles were really good! The texture of the noodles were really nice and chewy, they were actually pretty 'fun' to eat haha. The cilantro and green onions were surprisingly very strong in this bowl too, but tasted healthy to the overall soup. Great experience! There seemed to be only one waitress there when I went and she's definitely working really hard. Props to her!! read more
these hand pulled noodles are amazing. they're chewy and fulfilling. i got the signature lam noodle (beef broth) and tried the dry noodle mixed with beef for the first time. the dry mixed noodle was more of a softer texture (i think due to cooking the sauce and cooking it again together). but the broth noodle was a bit more chewy. i got both wide flat noodles. would come back again!! ig: @eatswithpristie read more

Although the server threw the menu at us, ignored our question, and hated working there, the food was bomb and we both left very full and warm. Get the braised beef. It was so flavorful and the beef melts in your mouth. We got extra cilantro and it was phenomenal. You can choose which type of noodles you want, I would recommend the flat wide noodles as it is different and my friend had fun eating it. Parking is easy, available, and the first hour is free in the lot. It was perfect for the rainy weather and I would definitely go back. read more

I'm not much of a noodle connoisseur and I'm dabbling in different types of cuisine outside of my normal Chinese take out spot. With that said, hand pulled noodles, what....and wait...made super fresh! Say less. It's a small little spot that can easily be missed if not paying attention but conveniently located in a shopping center with plenty of free parking. As far as food: they have several different shapes and sizes of noodles. I got the thin wide which paired well with with the braised beef. But I do think it maybe needed a little more flavor. Again I don't know what it was missing since it was my first time even trying this type of food but it's kind of like when u look at ur outfit as ur ready to go out for a night at the club and ur just kinda like I kno I look good but I'm missing somethin. Maybe some sparkle. Maybe some spice. It's like that. The appetizer combo platter was great to share among 4 people and allowed us options to try 3 of their sides. The smashe cucumbers were my favorite. So fresh and flavorful. Service: they were attentive and food was brought our quickly. Overall: a great place to check out. Serving size is great too. I was able to eat and still take my leftovers home. read more
How you can tell the noodles are fresh is if they literally have someone pulling the noodles for each and every bowl of noodles ordered! The broth is flavorful and not overly seasoned which was great for a cold day. Warms the heart and soul. We chose the the fat belt style noodles since I was interested in finding something like Xi'an noodle from NYC and this had great comparison in texture. Would definitely come back to try the non broth options next time! read more

I had tons to charge my car and I was hungry to see this place and decided to stop it. Which I am glad I need they offer different types of noodles and they are all made fresh right in front of you. Amazing. This is a true noodle house. They have freshly Made chili oil and many different options from Dry noodle plates to noodles with broth. It was very clean in there kind of loud and really spaced out I wish there was a menu on the wall of the to-go menu should have pictures. Other than that I would Recommend this place it was so delicious everything I wasn't expecting. I love fresh food especially when you can taste the freshness in the ingredients. read more

Such a cute shop! The food was delicious and the portions sizes did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh including the noodles. Something really unique about this place is that you can choose different sizes of noodles. So lots of lots of options!! Lanzhou Street Noodle 5/5: ( Sesame paste & peanut butter in beef bone broth with spinach and flavored peas ) This soup was everything! There was no meat tho but the bone broth makes up for it. The soup was so flavorful with a slight creamy taste from the peanut butter. I had the size N.2 noodles and they perfectly chewy but not over bearing. The spinach came fresh and you can let them cook under all the broth. It did have a slight kick to it which help cut through the creamy broth :3 Chinese Pork Burger 4.5/5 : The meat was so tender, one bite and you can feel the fat melting in your mouth. The bread was so soft it soaked the juices adding extra flavor. Perfect for a snack or an appetizer! Cumin Lamb Chow Mein 4/5: The cumin flavor was so strong you can smell it from across the table. That's how you know it's very flavorful. I got the N.5 noodles and it looked like it was freshly made. Every noodles was perfectly covered in sauces, evenly spread. And the meat ratio was pretty decent! :3 read more
My friends and I got to try the famous LAN Noodle in West Covina! We ordered the various dishes of the dishes especially the hand-pulled noodles! We watched the chef to hand pull the noodles themselves! The staff here is friendly and helpful to our table to accommodate our needs! The interior is nice and there is a small parking lot in front of LAN Noodles! It's a very quick spot to eat inside and go! read more

I don't eat much beef and pork, so I asked for the vegetable chow Mein with thick noodles. Heavens to Betsy! Oh what a delight! Flavorful. The place was nice and clean and I should have stayed there to eat, but I had a long day and just wanted to take my food to go. The lady that helped me out was so nice, makes me wanna come back again read more
Always a good time whenever I stop by here. They have lots of options, though we always get the Lan signature if we're feeling soupy. I love getting the wide flat noodles, it's a great chew and mouth feel. We also got the dry mixed noodle, a lot of big flavor and a little spicy so heads up. Lots of options to choose from, their appetizers are also good. The servers were very polite and accommodating. Plenty of parking since it's such a huge lot, shared with several other stores and the Tokyo Central. I went for dinner and there was no wait time which was great. It's so entertaining and mesmerizing to watch them make the noodles in front of us, so you really know it's all made fresh and to order. read more

Was craving for soup noodle as well some dumplings & decided to come to Lan Noodle since it's been a few years I've been here. Had the mustard beef noodle & chose the knife cut noodle. Also ordered the shrimp dry mix noods with round noods as my option & also got pork dumplings. The mustard beef noods were flavorful with lots of cilantro & onion. The dry noods mix was tasty but just a little salty with too much sa-cha sauce on it. Enjoyed the sauce that came with the dumplings. Portion size is big & good to share. All in all I would return to Lan Noodle for more noods. read more
YOU CAN SEE THEM PULLING THE NOODLES IN FRONT OF YOU . I love the concept of watching the chef knead fresh dough for everyone to watch. I feel like the noodles are tastier after feasting with your eyes. The server was really nice and attentive to my water cup. I had a bowl of spicy noodles, so I kept having my water refilled. Inside, there isn't a lot of seating. Nothing crazy about the ambiance of the place. The popcorn chicken wasn't too spicy and had flavor to it. The only comment I would make is that the external crust of the chicken wasn't there. Typically, I would expect a crunchy exterior, but it tasted like I was eating regular chicken. Maybe it's their style, but nonetheless, it was still tasty. The bowl of noodles had a lot of meat in it and the noodles were firm. Overall, this is a great place for noodles. I would come again :) read more

I would say that the salted egg yolk fried rice is amazing. The amount of salted egg yolk is very generous, but it is not too overwhelming at the same time, giving a good balance. The fried rice is well seasoned too. The only thing I would do next time is to request to exclude peas and carrot in the fried rice. The chicken wings on the other hand is just alright. I think it could have been seasoned a bit better and have a crispier texture. Nonetheless, the service is great and the servers are all very friendly. There's also a "show" where the noodle maker would thread the noodle behind a glass. Not to mention, parking is very convenient too. read more
Amazing noodles! We found this spot as a stopover on a mini trip. The restaurant is small but there was open seating and a view to watch them make the noodles. I ordered the vegetarian soup with wide pulled noodles and we tried a cold dish. The flavor was great! It's also a lot more filling than it looks.

The food was so delicious! We got a couple noodle dishes and including the signature Wide Flat Noodle style is perfect! The noodles are really wide and thick, great taste! We got the Big Plate Chicken Special, the Braised Beef Soup, and the 3 Appetizer Combo. Each dish was so good and flavorful! The service was great and workers were so polite. We are definitely coming back! read more
We ordered a signature lan noodle and spicy beef noodle to-go, and we were completely speechless when we ate it.... Signature lan noodle: The broth was super bland and tasted only of cilantro. The beef was soft but cut into these tiny little squares (about 1/4 of the size of a regular sized ice cube). Spicy beef noodle: The entire broth was szechuan numbing oil. It wasn't salty or flavorful...just spicy and extremely oily. Again the beefs were cut up into these baby little squares. We ordered both the flat noodle and thin noodles and both were hard and tough to chew. I love beef noodle soups and lan zhou style noodles, so I was so bummed with my meal here today. Sadly, I'll be driving back to sgv for my lan zhou style noodles in the future. read more

It's not quite Dun Huang-tier, but this place is still worth a visit. The food is not bad, the service level is acceptable, and there is plenty of parking available outside. Most importantly for some of us (nothing else matters if you can't even get in the door, right?), no papers are required for dine-in. The most interesting thing about this restaurant is that they offer *eight* different shapes/sizes of noodles that you can choose from! read more
I like coming here for authentic Chinese noodles in a clean modern setting. The menu has tons of great options and I'm never disappointed. You could come a few times and try something new each time. The pricing is very reasonable as well. read more
Excellent authentic hand-made noodle place if you're ever hungry, hangry, or the weather is plenty COLD! Very similar to the main restaurant in Arcadia, but somehow, I like the noodles at the Arcadia a little better. See my review of LAN Noodle in Arcadia if you want to see the deets. This location also don't have normal utensils. They're all disposable ones. I docked off a star since I would like real big spoon to slurp the soup and hold the giant flat noodle pieces. The flimsy spoon doesn't cut it for me. read more

I was craving noodles the other day, so I went with my friend here. I love homemade noodles, and this place has handmade noodles. It's really cool because they face 5-6 different types of noodles. It can be as thin as even pasta or wide thick noodles. I ordered the lamb noodles with thick noodles. Because I was wearing a face mask, she confused me order with lan noodles which is a beef noodle soup. Once I clarified, she switched my noodles and it came out really quickly. The broth was flavorful. The lamb was thinly sliced and unexpected, but still tasted good. The noodles were thick but a bit too thick if that makes sense. I love the noodles at noodle art. It's very delicious! All in all, the food was decent and the service fast. I didn't like how they had styrofoam cups though read more
If you're coming from Glendora, save yourself the drive and skip this. We ordered a braised beef noodle soup, dry lamb noodle, and pig ears. Total came out to 49 and some change. We ordered wide noodles for everything. Noodles were dry. And stuck to each other. The broth for the noodle was tasty at first and then made you super thirsty afterwards. read more
