The ambiance was lively, the servers were working their butts off the keep the dining space clean and were also super sweet/friendly, and the food was yummmmyyyy! maybe i just wish there was a little more meat in the soup? Very important to have more yummy halal spots around town though! Yayy

Beef soup noodle
Diana L.

I tried the new menu item beef broth soup with rice noodles. It was delicious! A traditional northern china dish, it came with a bun for dipping into the soup. It is a bit spicy from the peppercorn, but definitely a comfort food. Clean interior and attentive staff. Menu is digital, casual seating. Parking is always an issue on convoy, worth the wait! The spicy oil wide noodles is also a favorite here.

Yummmm, the noodles here are amazing! They are hand pulled and there are so many options. I love a good thin noodle thats chewy and bouncy while also soft, the perfect texture. The sour cabbage beef pancakes are so good! crispy and flavorful. All the soups are yummy too. The noodle bowls have huge portions and lots of noodles.

Authentic Chinese noodle. I'm from Monterey Park and I would say that the noodle here is very close to SGV level. Their noodle is handmade (you can see the chef literally pulling the noodle from the window). Their beef noodle soup is.very simple and clean, not too oily. I do wish they have more veggies with their noodle soup, but you can always order more appetizers, which are just as delicious. The restaurant is located in a decently sized parking lot, but given it's Convoy, the parking lot becomes an absolute nightmare during prime dinner time especially on the weekend. Highly recommend to come here around 5PM if you want to avoid a parking disaster. Overall, highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic, handmade, Chinese noodle soups.

Their fresh noodles are delicious! I do like the flat thick noodles most. We ordered their popular braised beef noodle soup and it was really good. I recommend that dish. The beef was very tender and goes perfectly with their chewy flat thick noodles. They gave us scissors to cut the noodles. I wish they were larger scissors. The cold sesame noodle was ok. The sauce got pretty thick and the dish became clumpy. The tea egg was a bit disappointing. The appetizer we ordered with the thin crepes was pretty good though.

Lanzhou Noodlelicious serves popular Chinese braised beef noodle soup in the center of Convoy district, San Diego. I've visited this location in the past as I was craving braised beef noodle soup and never realized their food were all Halal. We recently had dinner with friends; we each ordered our bowl of beef noodle soup and had some cold side dishes to go with it. I liked their braised beef noodle soup (4/5), although their soup was not as flavorful as others I've had in the past. My favorite cold dish was the wood ear mushroom and tripe, I definitely would come back and order those to go with the main dishes. Loved visiting Lanzhou and would definitely come again!

Lamb skewers

A casual spot for authentic chinese noodles! The cumin beef noodles were full of flavor and had a good portion of beef and veggies. The beef noodle soup comes without spice, but you can add chili oil to your liking. The lamb skewers also seasoned perfectly and not chewy at all! I loved that they offered a large variety of noodle shapes, I tried the flat noodles and the thin flat noodles and both were great, I just wished the flat noodles were a little thicker. They also offer unlimited noodle refills if you order noodle soup on weekdays! Service was efficient and vibes were casual.

I thought this place was under new management but turns out it's the same owner as before when it was called Green China Grill. He just changed the name. We enjoyed our food very much. The owner was our server today. He was very friendly and gave great suggestions. We ordered the beef sirloin noodle soup, braised beef noodle soup, beef pancake, cumin beef fried noodle, and lamb and beef skewers. Hand pulled noodles made fresh here. There's a small window where you can watch them make it. They were very smooth and long noodles. Both the sirloin beef noodle soup and braised beef noodle soup were similar but I enjoyed the braised beef noodle soup more because it had chunks of beef that was slightly fattier than the sirloin beef which were thin slices. Also the soup had a bit more flavor too. I loved the beef pancake. The owner suggested to add pickled cabbage in it and it was delicious. The pancake was thin and crispy not doughy. This might have been my favorite dish here. The beef and lamb skewers were very tender and flavorful. This was a pleasant and satisfying meal. Price was comparable with good size portions.

Sirloin beef noodle soup

I was pleasantly surprised by this unassuming restaurant. Located in a plaza with many other Asian food stops, the competition is steep. We ended up eating here because the wait for other restaurants was too long and we were able to be seated here right away... so ngl, I was a little skeptical. But their beef noodle soup tasted of a umami clean broth, epitome of comfort Asian food. Another big hit was the cumin lamb fried noodles. Skip the beef rolls - oily with lackluster flavoring. Oh! Of note, their noodles are hand pulled! Authentic Chinese food.

Tiffany T.

The handpulled noodles are indeed amazing here! So chewy and perfect. You can see the chef making the noodles right from the window. All the dishes were very flavorful, with my favorites being the cumin lamb sliced noodles and beef roll. I'd recommend getting a cold plate too. It adds a nice refresing flavor to the carbs. This place is located in a very busy plaza on Convoy, so be warned the parking in this plaza during peak hours is literally a nightmare.

Lanzhou Noodlelicious is a popular, halal Chinese restaurant in San Diego known for its authentic, hand-pulled noodles made fresh in-house, visible through a glass window. We love this place, great prices and their cold salads.

Don't let the terrible parking situation in convoy be a deterrent from eating good food! This place is such a solid spot if you're craving some hot Chinese noodles. The make their own noodles PLUS you get free noodle refills if you still have soup left (disclaimer you can't take the refill home). Since the noodles are so fresh they soak up the soup super fast but it's all ok because they won't last that long in the bowl anyway since you're about to eat them up real fast haha. I went with a party of 8 and it wasn't crazy crowded for dinner on a friday night. We were served promptly and got our water and noodles refilled without issues. Inside it's pretty no frills, so don't expect anything crazy. I'd go again for sure.

Beef and pickle Beef Pancakes(特色牛肉饼)
Liana J.

No frills, budget friendly and most importantly, delicious! This ain't your fancy sit-down date night, but it absolutely hit the spot when we just wanted something fast and tasty on a week night. Located on convoy in a busy plaza, we could not find parking even 8pm on a wed night. Luckily the street nearby had some parking. No reservation needed and we were seated right away. It took a while to get our order in and many of the cold starters we wanted were already sold out. But what we got were more than worth it. I loved the tangy seaweed salad. Even the celery and tofu skin salad was good. Sadly did not get to try the cucumber salad or the woodear salad. The beef and pickled veggie pancake was way better than I even anticipated. Enough for 4 people to share for sure. For the entrees, I love that you could choose the noodles. The thick noddle and the knife cut noodle were chewy in the best way. Even as leftover they were delicious. Then the toppings and sauce... absolutely took them to the next level. Fairly spicy, maybe 2-3/5, but definitely not the most spicy ever for Sichuan cuisine. They had additional chili oil and other condiments on the table for you to adjust to your taste. The only thing that I was unimpressed with, and incidentally the only thing our server recommended, was the lamb skewers. Could used another 3 min on the grill to get some more char on the edges. However, I had a great meal and would come back for the noodles, and probably try the skewers again the next time I'm here.

They have a super easy online ordering system right at the table which makes things convenient. We ordered the spicy lamb biang biang noodles and the non-spicy beef pulled noodles, and both had the perfect chew and incredible flavor. We also ordered the garlic green beans, but they came out so late that we were already completely full from the noodles, so we took them to go. Thank god we did, because they turned out to be pretty salty on their own and really needed to be paired with white rice at home. Overall, an amazing spot for authentic noodles!

I also noticed other tables getting plates and bowls which we had to ask for. Overall, I felt the servers weren't too friendly either and seemed to rush through our table despite them standing around not seeming too busy. The food was excellent though! The soup had a great spice to it and super flavorful. The beef and onion was so juicy and addictive, the green beans were good too and had a slight kick to them.

At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

The pork was a bit tough and the rice lacked uniform flavor between bites. My takeout experience was overall 3 stars out of 5.

Me being born and raised in San Diego without ever trying it almost felt like a crime. I finally decided it was time to pay a visit. We came with a party of five. The seating setup was a little different from what I expected. We ended up at a long picnic table style booth that we shared with another couple. It honestly was not an issue since there was still plenty of space. It was just a different concept for me. The servers were super friendly and bubbly. They moved fast too. Our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Char-grilled Beef, Eggroll & Cold Vermicelli Noodles, Fresh Spring Rolls, the famous Spicy Garlic Wings plus the Korean Beef Short Ribs. The Fresh Spring Rolls were good. They were filled with shrimp, thinly sliced pork, lettuce, vermicelli noodles, basil plus bean sprouts. The peanut plum hoisin sauce definitely carried them though. Add some of their chili sauce into it too. Delicious. Now for the Spicy Garlic Wings. I know everyone raves about these, but honestly, based on the ones we got, I feel like I would rather have Wingstop. They were really dry. I even asked a friend who has been here before if that was normal. Apparently they are usually not like that, so maybe we just caught them on a bad day or they spent a little too much time in the fryer. Either way, they had definitely lost a lot of their moisture. The flavor was there, but the dryness made it hard for them to really stand out to me. My favorite was easily the Korean Beef Short Ribs. They came out sizzling over caramelized onions with a generous amount of marinated meat. Great flavor. Great texture. Delicious. This was probably the one dish I would order again without thinking twice. The Char-grilled Beef, Eggroll & Cold Vermicelli Noodles were fine. The noodles were a little too bouncy and chewy for me. They almost tasted slightly underdone. The grilled beef had great flavor though. Once everything was mixed with the fish sauce, it came together much better.
