5 stars for the fried dumplings! We had noodles and the giant dumpling that's really 8 regular sized dumplings fried together. The noodles were alright but the fried dumplings were the best fried dumplings I've encountered in NYC! Aside from Japanese gyoza, most fried dumplings I've had are too doughy, or at the very least the dough wrapper is too thick for my preference. I love delicate, thin dumpling wrappers that only serve to encase a scrumptious filling. So I'm often disappointed when I try other dumpling shops that people rave about. Not even Vanessa's dumpling shop or Prosperity dumpling gave me what I was looking for. But when I tried these dumplings, I knew I found exactly what I've been looking for. The wrapper is thin but enough to hold the filing. And the filing is delicious. It's really just pork and scallions but it's so tasty! The dumplings are first steamed then fried to order in one batch resulting in a massive looking dumpling. Omg, my mouth is watering now. I'm gonna need to go back soon! read more

Lan Zhou Handmade Noodle - Best friend dumplings in NYC! - Noodles Near Me - Flushing, New York

See all

So many options, so little time, so little room in my hungry stomach. This food court has so many options. But one thing that really stood out for me was this little hand pulled noodle shop. They PROUDLY displayed their noodle chef in the front of the storefront. He masterfully hand made each and every batch of noodles for each customer. And by the time I got mine. I was oozing at the mouth in anticipation of the meal. And by gosh, it was one mind blowing sip of the broth that made everything click. The broth had such depth in it's flavors that it reminded me of a pho broth. The first layer was a clean beefy flavor, and the next few layers had a spiciness and a slight sourness from a veggie and then some sweetness at the backend of the soup. The noodles were firm and snapped in my mouth with each and every bite. Not once did it go soggy. Well done, good sir. Well done. So I implore everyone who is overwhelmed with this food court's options to give this a try. read more

I believe that this is run by the same group of people that run the Lanzhou stall in the Golden Mall a couple blocks down Main St. Watching them hand pull the noodles is still hypnotic, and I wish I had the skill to make these noodles by hand (I think that'll be my next cooking goal)! The food is mostly identical to the other place, but slightly more expensive (think $0.50 to $1.00 across the board). They also offer fried noodles too here though, but they're a bit pricier ($7-8 a plate). Overall though, I like the Golden Mall location better. They seem to be friendlier (perhaps that's because they know me know), and the food is better seasoned (it was overall a bit salty at this location, especially the fried noodles). It's still good, but I'd much rather just walk down Main an extra few minutes and eat there. It's also much less hectic there. It's a solid offering in New World Mall, but there's no reason to go to this location over the other one. If you're in this food court, explore some of the other stalls instead. read more

So many places to choose from especially down stairs in the New World Mall. We selected this place because it had the longest line. Eats: - beef with noodles soup which was good - ox tripe noodle soup was good but did not come with enough tripe, maybe only a few pieces for the size of the bowl Likes: - price, two bowls only cost $12 Dislikes: - bowls lacked the amount of meat it should get based on the size of the bowl read more

Lanzhou Handmade Noodle is in the New World Mall Food Court. It is a huge food court in Flushing that opened maybe this year or last year. There are definitely A LOT of people who go to this food court because of the location. And especially since there are so many food choices here in this food court. And the food are all affordable too for the community. Of course, they are all Asian food choices, specifically Chinese food from different villages and ethnicities in China. So this Langzhou Handmade Noodles have some delicious and cheap noodles! And they are handpulled noodles made fresh on the spot. Where else are you going to find that nowadays. It's a skill and art to be mastered. I've tried the beef and the lamb noodle soup. The meat is chewy, but still good. I just don't like the fact that there are way too many people in this food court at all times, especially dinner time. And it's hard to get seats even with the large amount of seating there are here. The tables are not always clean because you get the table after another group of people leave the seats so you have to wipe them down with napkins yourselves. It is noisy here with a lot of annoying little kids whose parents don't know how to control them. And the bathrooms are kind of gross. I do not know why Asian people do not know how to build good bathrooms with good ventilation and air because it is suffocating in there and they could at least think of that. read more

Way overrated... People talk as if the hand pulled noodle soups here are just shy of miraculous. Not. Don't get me wrong; the noodles in and of themselves are good. As any fresh made noodle should be. It's a craft; they're pretty good at it in the industrial sense. Decent texture, nice chew, etc.. Nothing to write home about though. Pasta/noodles are simple once you learn the basics. Elevating it to the artisan level takes a profound effort and you don't find that here. This is blandly pedestrian. The broth? Eh. My homemade pho blows their standard beef broth away. I know it's not a Vietnamese place, but the soup is in the same ballpark, with that touch of anise, therefore I'm comparing it to pho. I sampled both the mutton soup and the beef soup. Go for the beef, it marries with the broth better for obvious reasons. The hot chili condiments everyone blathers on about being so good & hot? It sucks. Not really that much heat at all, and the chili tastes stale. It's basically oil & chili powder; completely lifeless. There is no reason why they can't prepare a fresh Bird's Eye chili condiment. Fresh chili brightens up these types of soups in a far superior fashion. In short, lackluster, good quantity of food for the price but, they don't put the care into it that it deserves. read more

Great place to get a quick noodle fix. Beef Hand Pulled is usually my to go and always get the job done. The price for noodles around the area is definitely on the rise which is somewhat sad. Service is relatively quick and normal for a stall in the mall. Add some preserved veggies and let the cilantro seep for awhile before eating to let the broth get maximum flavor! read more

Overhyped, very. I don't recommend coming here because I was expecting great flavour and great noodles, turned out to be just MSG soups and the noodles were nothing out of the ordinary. They are most famous for their beef pulled noodles, and the soup is an important part of that. The soup was bland and just tasted like... Soup with a hint of beef. Nothing special. They used to have really great noodles, but quality has gone DOWNNN. I work in the new world mall and I've noticed the lines have been going down ever since. read more

Cheap and cheerful - $5 bucks for hand pulled beef noodle soup. The beef is tender, noodles thin like ramen (though I prefer the thick noodle), soup so savory and full of flavor - but not for you if you don't like cilantro. I come here every chance I get now. And I enjoy watching them make it fresh. They are located in the food court of the New World Mall so the atmosphere can be chaotic, noisy, and a cat fight for a table if you're there for lunch. read more

This was absolutely delicious!!!! It tasted so fresh and yummy, I can't wait to go back. I had the beef tendon noodles - one bowl for $6 and it hit the spot. I kind of had trouble moving afterward as I was properly stuffed =P I really recommend this place. The noodles taste very fresh and delicious, and the serving size is plentiful with opulent flavors that satisfy your palette, even though it's just noodles and meat (with some greens). I think that it's probably a better place for the weird and the unique - tendon rather than chicken, pork belly rather than pork. Go for broke! This guy knows what he's doing. Highly recommended. read more

The food was good. I wouldnt eat there again. Not because the food wasn't good but simply that there are better options. I bought the beef trope noodle and while the beef tripe was standard the noodle and soup wasn't very flavorful read more

I got the chicken soup handpulled noodle bowl $6.50 it was very bland plain no flavor I did not like it the noodles had no flavor broth was okay had vegetable flavor I found a piece of red meat in it which I don't eat I only eat chicken and that was bad news means they are not clean back there and mix the same soup base or use same spoons the chicken was mystery meat it had a bad egg like texture and it was fried in oil I hated it! The chili oil also was nothing special and vinegar was so so. I don't recommend this place xian famous noodles is 1000x better amazing flavor and best noodle soup ever. read more

For a little hand pulled noodle counter at the busiest mall in Flushing, this place is the go to for all noodle lovers. Prices are pristine, cheap and basically equivalent to others in the food court. They serve noodles three ways: hand pulled, hand cut, and stir frying. But, I can't turn down hand pulled noodles. Watching the guy behind the open counter was really fascinating. He sure is a professional, knowing every precise maneuver. The protein options to place over the noodles or to accompany the soup range from the American liking (chicken) to the authentic (intestine, etc.) I got the duck since I was just craving it and it wasn't too expensive. You can get the noodles spicy or mild, but I'm not a fan of overly spicy foods. The mild is flavorful enough. The duck came from different parts of the bird, because I believe I got a neck bone and a wing. The duck was very fatty, but was really delicious and cooked perfectly. The noodles were to die for, better than all competitors. I would definitely check this place out again. read more

Lan Zhou Handmade Noodle - Hand pulled noodles with duck. - Noodles Near Me - Flushing, New York

sometimes I come back from the city to this place when I crave sum gud hand pulled noodles. I always get the stir fried noodles instead of the soup ones, but regardless they provide plenty of noodles with each serving. The service isn't very friendly (which is ok since you don't tip), but ordering is straightforward even without Chinese - simply tell them the number on the menu, and remember to specify whether you want them 'thin' or 'wide'. Either wait for your number to be called, or take a lap around the food court and order yourself a drink. read more

My favorite place in all of Flushing. I get the same thing every time: 牛肉炒刀削面加卤蛋 (knife cute noodles, no soup, with beef and tea egg). Lots of veggies, meat, and the best noodles. Good size portion and proportionally sound. I know, when you go to a Lanzhou restaurants, you should get lamian, but their daoxiaomian is the best in NYC. read more

Not yummy. Like always, I am super excited to try restaurants that have quite a decent review. When I first tasted the soup, it was already bland. There was something definitely lacking. Then I took a bite of the noodle. Why was it so thick and chewy? I thought I was chewing dough flavored gum. The overwhelming flour/dough taste was unbearable. Meh, I will pass next time. =( read more

You know what you getting here every time! If you been going...keep goinG....if you haven't...great soup noodle at a great price...what do you have to lose? read more

I've been here twice and I love their noodles. I don't exactly remember what I had the first time, but the second time I had the oxtail noodles which was a bit lacking in the meat department but the noodles and broth are still good. I suggest adding some chili sauce and the pickled vegetables to your noodles as it adds to the flavor. The restaurant is also rated A for cleanliness so you can't go wrong. If you're in the mood for some authentic noodles - this is one place you should try. read more

Yes, the noodles and the soup taste really good, but don't think I will buy soup noodles there again. Why? MSG is the cause. 5 minutes after I had their soup noodles, my throat started bothering me and phlegm kept building up :( It lasted until the next morning even though I drank tons of water. Besides, I ordered beef brisket but there were only 2 pieces of brisket, the other ones are chewing thin brownish stuff that I assume are part of the brisket (that no one eats). They tasted horrible... read more

great flavor, loved the food, but the beef was more tendon and fat than anything else, so minus star for that! The broth itself was very delicious, noodles well made. Lamb was better. Overall, great place to try out!! read more

I love their soup with hand-stretched noodles and duck. It's definitely soothing and warming. It's tasty and it isn't too salty. The noodle and broth are amazing. The soup is reasonably priced. I find myself coming back for more. read more

Who knew that hand stretched noodles would change my life so? I've ordered the noodles with soup once a week for the last year. You will never go back to the standard run of the mill noodle soup, its that addicting. The broth..the veggies. ..the meat..and the texture of the noodles. ..yummmmmmmy. And to top it off..it's $3.99 and you get a HUGE bowl. Slurp away my fellow yelpers! read more

Best noodles. Traveled long journey just to try the noodles. Glad I did. Watching the guy pull the noodles and cooking it. Hard to find the store. read more

Ordered the Pork Chop Hand Made Noodle Soup. Only disappointment was they gave me spare ribs. Still it was tasty noodles made/cooked perfectly, broth is incredible, spare ribs only wish there was more. read more

Have had this place's noodles a couple times and it seems to get worse every time. For consistent flavor and quality, go to the golden shopping mall, which is a basement food court at the corner of 41st road and main. A similarly named food stall will give you much better stuff. read more

I hadn't been to the food court and I usually go for the lobster or the Vietnamese place. I decided to try the hand pulled noodle soup and I am sooo glad I did. The noodles themselves were not that special but it was ALL about the broth. So many layers of flavor without tasting salty, it was friggin amazing. read more

Fresh hand pulled noodles and delicious soup. Cheap and fast service. It's definitely a regular choice for a quick lunch noodle. I usually get the chicken or beef noodle. I love the pulled noodle. I am not a big fan of the thick noodles but the fried noodles are awesome. If you are in New World Mall or in Flushing area, you have to try this noodle. read more

Since we are in Flushing, it has to be competitive enough to live up the name. Judging from that, this place's beef noodle needs some work. (Sorry to be harsh) This review is for those who have been to at least 10 different Lanzhou noodle shops in China. If this is your first or your first few, you will be okay with it. Beef pieces are the best in the dish, well seasoned and flavorful, but NOT the type of beef you would be given in a traditional lanzhou noodle. Traditionally, the beef is simply seasoned with salt and spices, should be pale in color and thinly sliced. They overdid this one by going through some sort of soy sauce bath... the color is way too dark for a typical Lanzhou beef noodle. Noodle is not bouncing/chewy, although they are constant in shape (noticeably thicker, probably need to push dishes out in a hurry due to the constant quene). Dough recipe needs a lot of work, or the line cook cooked them for a tad too long. Noodle was the first thing that needs to be perfect, because its texture accounts for 90 percent of the dish. Now to the soup that needs to take up 100 percent of the flavors: def not slow cooked, salty, and not clear in apperance. At last, where is the daikon radish, and why am I seeing green Shanghai bakchoy? Lanzhou region is so dry, it is hard to spot leafy vegetables in most of their dishes. There is no excuse in replacing daikon radish due to price control, as the daikon radishes are plenty and reasonably priced most of the year... read more

Went into Flushing looking for handpulled noodles. Found this place and thought we give it a try. Delicious homemade noodles!! If you're in Flushing you must stop here and give their beef and lamb noodle soups a try. You won't regret it. read more

I ordered the beef hand pulled noodle. While waiting, I couldn't take off my eyes off the man stretching the noodle into smaller and smaller strands. He was soo fast; it was fun to watch. I didnt even hear them call my order. The noodles had a good bite to them but the amount of noodles overwhelmed my soup. I had to take out half the noodles just to dig into the veggies and broth. The beef was tender and juicy. It was overall fragrant, fresh, and delicious. Resonable price too. read more

The noodles were great, but the cashier got our order wrong. Gave us roast pork noodle soup , instead of oxtail noodle soup. Excellent flavors, but cold ja jerng mein. read more

We ordered 2 stir fried ramen (Hand pulled noodles). beef and seafood. We should have tried a soup one. So many choices we got flustered. I prefer my noodles to be a bit more al dente. These were softer than I would have liked but was decent. We did see the guy making the noodles. These noodles are slightly thinner than a Japanese udon. Glad we have decent hand pulled noodles in the Boston area. read more

Get any of the meats with noodles. I did beef bone one day and did oxtail the next. Oxtail isn't as tender as it could be but the noodles and the broth are pretty delicious. read more

On Saturday night, the worker behind the counter was clipping her nails in between taking orders. No thanks...

2.5 Maybe the sign has changed a few times, as the left side one is not the same as prior photos. handmade noodle but not that special in terms of flavor broth and ingredients. besides the real lanzhou noodle is different, same maybe better to try one of the restaurants outside for this. read more

I made my lamb noodle soup order with no cilantro, and of course, they put cilantro on it, which I'm not surprised that they did because almost 50% of Asian restaurants usually forget or don't pay attention to orders in that much detail. At first, I didn't mind that they forgot, I'd just prefer that they pick it out with chopsticks at least, but in this case, I would've picked it out myself. So, the girl at the register reminds the lady in the back that I ordered with no cilantro, so they take it back, pour the soup out, add water, pour more out so that the cilantro is poured out with it (I lost some veggies from this). I guess all of that wasn't good enough because she used her hand with the glove and picked more out (who knows what that glove touched), then she saw more, so she took a towel that was sitting on the side and wiped more cilantro out (we all know that towel wasn't clean). And, I guess there was still more so she used her fingernail (no glove) to pick them out (definitely not clean). I am disgusted at how they handled the simple "no cilantro" request. It could've easily been handled with chopsticks, which I would've just done myself if I had known she was going to use all of those methods to get the cilantro out. I gave them 2 stars because I ordered their dumplings and tried my sisters dish, which was a cold noodle dish with beef. Their food is delicious, but too bad the way they work is absolutely disgusting. read more

oh the wonders of flushing. i was clued into this "new" flushing mall food court goodness. as everyone was getting the spicy per pound gigantic bowl of seafood and beef, i went for some good ol' hand pulled noodles. i had the won ton on this blistery evening. the broth was delicious with a perfect sprinkling of cilantro to give a fragrant lite sweetness. the noodle are the highlight. not too thick or too thin. just chewy and firm even when left in the soup for too long. i'm game to tried the friend noodles next time around. read more

it was only okay. nothing so fantastic that makes me crave it but giving it a three star rating means i'm willing to go back and give it another go and try something else. it is pretty cool watching them make the noodle literally as you wait for your order read more

This shop is located in the famous New World Mall food court in Flushing, Queens. Went there on a Saturday afternoon and it was very crowded and a little overwhelming but once you get acclimated it's time to find the cleaner looking stalls and start eating. You cannot think about how clean it does or doesn't look; just accept it. We found this noodle spot which looked decent and had a man hand-pulling the noodles near the register. Ordered the beef fried ramen dish for I believe $7.99. It was enough food for two people. I had already planned on avoiding the meat chunks because I didn't know how legit the meat would be. I was totally surprised that the meat was of a good quality and so I was able to fully partake. The noodles were sautéed in a brown sauce and combined with the beef and several veggies, red and green peppers, tomatoes, exotic mushrooms, and boy choy. The dish was really scrumptious- the noodles were so fresh tasting and had the right elements of chewiness. We ate the whole damn thing. I will definitely recommend this place to folks who want to give the mall a try. read more

This is by far the best hand pulled noodle shop I've had so far. They can get pretty busy sometimes but they are definitely worth the wait (that doesn't mean, let someone cut in front of you). I usually take my food to go as New World Mall rarely has seating available. By the time I find I seat, I could have just went home so why bother searching and waiting? read more
