    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.

    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.

    Braised beef noodle soup
    Corinna W.

    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.

    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
    Liz B.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Sirloin beef noodle soup
    Joyce L.

    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.

    Monica L.

    Big portions, yummy and fresh noodles! The soup was nicely umami, the noodles were the perfect level of soft and chewy, the appetizers also had great flavor! The pan fried noodles had a hint of cumin. The beef pancake was super savory and rich. The tea egg was good too! Value to get the box meal! Food came out decently quickly, ambiance is casual and lively. Staff was attentive and friendly!

    Honestly, would give zero stars if I could. We walked in was greeted ,then they walked away, so we asked for assistance at the register. Placed an order and they said if under $20 it would have to be cash, over $20 could be card.. how is that good business practice? Is that even legal? Almost feels like they're making you spend extra just to use your card. Order was placed at 6:40pm, a group of 5 people came in 15 mins after we ordered, were sat right away, and got their food before us, weird but okay... another 15 minutes pass ( now 30 minutes total , time is now 7:10pm ) still no order ... all we ordered was chicken fried rice, and soup, and vegan option food.... After another 5 minutes order is finally out , ( 35 minutes total time ) Friend who ordered vegan option food was eating food and guess what was in his VEGAN option food ... YEP! You guessed it BEEF! $15.99 for chicken fried rice - very small portion ,barley fried, almost looked like white rice . Will not be going back, such a waste of time.

    Came at 2pm Saturday and they were closed. Hours say till 3.

Beef noodle soup - excellent flavor overall, including a strong broth and a nice, soft texture to the noodles. Out of the countless Chinese restaurants I've visited for beef noodle soup, this makes its way into the top three. 5/5 Lamb skewers - wayyyyy too dry. This is certainly not their specialty, and asking for extra cumin to sprinkle on the lamb did not redeem the firmness. I struggled to slide the meat off the skewer and ended up just eating it while still on the stick. 1.5/5 Fish fillet - so good. Easy to eat texture-wise. Caution -- a bit saltier than it looks. The bell peppers in particular were seasoned spectacularly. 4.5/5 Dry fried green beans - a delicious option for vegetables to add to the table. Most people will enjoy this one in my opinion. A bit more crunch than I expected, which is not a bad thing. 4/5 Double cooked pork - I've never seen it cooked this way, and am not a fan. I'm used to a more oily version of this dish. It contained a bunch of dried and crunchy... yams? Potatoes? Overall, the dish was mainly crunch with no flavor, and contained a relatively small amount of pork. 1/5

I was born and raised in LA, so I've had a lot of Chinese food growing up, and I wasn't expecting to be this surprised--but I really was. I ordered the black bean eggplant and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The wings are what they're known for, but I have to start with the eggplant because it completely caught me off guard. It wasn't mushy at all--crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and coated in sauce without losing its texture. Every bite had depth and balance, not just saltiness. I actually meant to start with the wings, but the eggplant was so good I ended up eating half of it before even getting to them. By that point I was already getting full, but I still made sure to finish the wings--and I'm honestly excited to take the rest of the eggplant home as leftovers. By the time I got to the wings, I understood why they're popular--crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying--but what stood out to me was how both dishes complemented each other. One rich and layered, the other crisp and bright. I never got tired of eating, which honestly says a lot. I even told the staff how much I enjoyed the food and they thought I was joking, but I meant every word in saying I thought it was comparable, if not better then the food I've had in Chinatown in LA.

We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu.

However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

The owner was kind. You can tell it's a family-run spot, especially with the sweetest little girl helping out, which made the whole experience feel even more genuine and homey. We were seated in about 20 minutes, which honestly isn't bad at all. Free parking lot. Will be back soon.

    I kinda had a biased opinion coming into this place. Pt Loma hasn't been a hot spot for good…read morechinese food, but I'm glad this place proved me wrong. They offered all the usual chinese food dish you would typically find in a dumpling shop. Dumplings, noodles, appetizers. We got some scallions pancakes, thinly sliced beef and an assortment of dumplings. I even picked up a dan dan noodle on my second go around here, yes, my second time! Honestly, the dumplings were ok. Hit or miss depending on what you got. I would probably avoid the beef with carrots, along with the chive with shrimp. I know chive is a classic, but something about their ratio with shrimp was way off. All the other dumplings were spot on! The other dishes earned high marks with me. Authentic taste and just very filling. Some quick tips. Parking is a pain because of how small the lot is. The shop is also kinda tiny, so get cozy. Enjoy!
