    Lan Zhou Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Alex W.

    This Noodles & Dumplings is the one that is closer to UTEP and is a solid lunch spot if you are in a rush. In my experience, this one is not as good as the one on the west side but it might also be because it is a different experience. This restaurant is very small, and the way that it is set up seems like it is mostly for to go style orders. You order in front of a plexiglass covered spot that shows the kitchen and there are usually around 7 tables in the whole place. The Lan Zhou Spicy Noodle is my favorite here and it never disappoints. The noodles are pulled by hand which is always cool but I can't help but admit that they just aren't the best tasting noodles. I come here semi regularly. Will probably go back if I was in the area.

    On the west side was really good. The transmountain spot is a hit n miss. Fist time was pretty good and the 2nd time was a big miss I ordered orange chicken and noodles and my friend ordered general tso chicken. Our chicken was nice and hot. The noodles were a big miss...SMH our noodles was cold, cold no bueno so I let the server know and he takes our plates back and then returns with our same plates, I'm ok with that. I asked him what did he do and he said he microwaved our plates for 1 minute each and it was still cold but not as cold. No discount for cold food and still charged Full price $15. per plate. So for that price I want hot food. I'll go back to the Westside The place seems crowed, close to each other.

    Vegetable Dumplings Chicken Fried Noodle

    Our waiter Evelyn was very attentive. We ordered our first app upon arrival and received it within 10 min. The scallion pancake, braised beef soup, Lanzhou soup and Lanzhou bao were delicious. We also ordered the vegetable dumplings and fried noodles with chicken which were good but not my favorite items. Below is The aftermath of the steamed bao, soups and dumplings. I think the empty plates and nearly finished soup is a good indication that we enjoyed our meal.

    Visiting El Paso for the first time for the holidays. Found this gem from a recommendation to visit the "Cincinnati Entertainment District". Holey moley! The service was great, it was one girl and she was super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. She was running the store with a great attitude and attentive. The window to view the cooks is super cool, as you can see the cooks hand-making the dumplings and your meal. The atmosphere is small, like a hole-in-the-wall vibe and super cozy. The menu had a lot of options, and does advise you that the fresh dumpling are a 15-minute wait time. But WELL worth it. The soup was unlike I've had before. It wasn't spicy but soooo delicious. The beef in the soup was like BUTTER. Smoothest beef I have ever bitten into. The stir fry combination noodles were very savory and full of flavor. The soup dumplings were so good. Adding chili oil & soy sauce on top is a must. The pork buns were sooo soft with a perfect crisp! I've written enough, but I'll end saying I was soooo happy I found this place. I'm sure the other locations are just as good. : )

    The service was great. We were celebrating a couple of birthdays so our party is large (17 people)…read moreand put us in a side wall, somewhat private. They were attentive to our party. Let me tell you- if you order appetizers, eat 'em fast cuz the food comes out quickly!! We had the cream cheese wontons and spring rolls (on separate menu) good but wontons need more filling and it was not as thick as I am used to. Ambiance is casual and nice. The decor is unique and plenty of tables. The food. I ordered 2 dishes and my wife ordered her orange glazed chicken which it does have a kick to it but good. I ordered chicken lo mein and sweet walnut shrimp. Lo mein was delicious and plenty!! The shrimp was good but I didn't realize they were breaded and breading is my only complaint. Too much breading! I would return again and try other things.

    I only tried the spicy wontons here but was not impressed. They are house-made which I always…read moreappreciate with dumplings, noodles and food in general but the filling was extremely skimpy. They were almost empty. The dough was pretty good but nothing to write home about and without much filling it just felt like dough. The sauce seemed like just the chilli crisp you get on the side of dumplings so it felt there just wasn't much to this dish with it also not having muhc filling. The serving size seemed small for the price. The plan was to have a full dinner also the Brown Sugar Rice Cakes (egg free and dairy free) for dessert but we decided to move on after trying the first dish. It's nice they have clearly labeled vegan options and the outside seating was nice but unfortunately we were not impressed. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Their egg drop soup was my absolute favorite dish anywhere, which is why I truly hate writing this review--but it needs to be said. My family and I visited this location around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, and everything from start to finish was surprisingly disappointing. Even though there were only a few parties in the restaurant, it took quite a while for our server to arrive for drinks. I ordered a pot of green tea and a gluten-free lettuce wrap appetizer. The server was polite and even brought honey for my tea (a nice touch), but the water was lukewarm at best--no steam, and cool enough to hold the pot. By the time the tea steeped, it was cool. We had finished our lettuce wraps before the server returned to take our meal orders. My young kids were getting restless, so we ordered quickly: a Buddha's Feast (stir-fried veggies and rice) for our toddler, chicken lo mein for her brother, and for me, a cup of egg drop soup and the gluten-free Singapore Street Noodles. My husband ordered the chicken fried rice. A quick restroom stop revealed something unsettling: drops of dried blood on a toilet seat. I immediately told a staff member, who did go address it right away--so credit where it's due--but it was still a gross and preventable discovery. When the food arrived, I initially appreciated that all gluten-free dishes came in distinct red and black stoneware, which helps reassure diners like me. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. Every dish was noticeably off from what we'd had at other locations. My toddler's Buddha's Feast was swimming in sauce--overcooked slivered carrots and snap peas in a mushy, soupy mix she refused to eat. My son thought the noodles in his chicken lo mein were "the best ever," but the chicken was a different story: dry, curry-coated, crunchy bits that seemed like an afterthought. He picked them out and just ate the noodles. My husband's fried rice was dark, dry, and overloaded with those same curry-dusted chicken chunks--it was inedible to him. Then my turn came, and this is where my heart broke. The egg drop soup, usually rich with vegetables and balanced flavor, had none of that. No carrots, no green onions, and instead of a savory soy base, it tasted like plain salt water--so salty it stung my tongue. The street noodles were no better: dry, dusty vermicelli covered in curry powder with no sauce whatsoever. I suspect this location didn't have gluten-free soy sauce, and they just omitted it. The dish also included more of those crunchy curry chicken pieces and several grape tomatoes that were clearly past their prime--soft, sour, and unpleasant. By now, my toddler was bored, hungry, and trying to wander off, so my husband took her outside to the parking lot. My son and I stayed to finish up, asked for to-go boxes, and waited... and waited. Although the server remained polite, it took nearly 30 minutes for him to return with our check because he was also tending bar. During that wait, I caught his eye multiple times as he made drinks for other tables. By the time we paid, my husband and daughter had returned, both ready to leave. For the first time ever at a P.F. Chang's, I left almost all my food behind. I even did something I almost never do--I tipped exactly 15%. We usually start at 20% or higher, but between the poor pacing, unappetizing food, and general sense that something was very wrong in the kitchen that night, that felt generous. I've since read that P.F. Chang's might have changed some recipes, but these changes were drastic and not reflected anywhere online. I honestly don't know if the chicken was supposed to be dry and curry-dusted, or if the stir-fried veggies were meant to be mushy and served like soup. I don't know if the soy sauce in the egg drop soup was intentionally swapped for salt, or if this was just an unfortunate, chaotic night in one location's kitchen. What I do know is that I'm heartbroken. P.F. Chang's used to be a safe, dependable, and enjoyable place for my family. Now I don't think I'm brave enough to find out if this was a one-time fluke or the new normal. I truly loved this restaurant--and this visit shattered that.
