    Spicy fried chicken - not authentic at all. No scallions, garlic, very few chili peppers. No szechuan peppercorns.
    Mark D.

    Service was terrible. They got pissed off that I ordered water instead of soda. Once they dropped off my water they never came back. I had to go up to the counter for them to take my order. It was some older Hispanic lady and a dirty blonde girl with braces (I think it was probably her daughter). Food came out fast. The Lanzhou spicy noodle soup was just ok. The noodles looked weird. The broth was too salty. Spicy level was right. Beef slices tasted like ham they were so salty. Do not order the fried spicy chicken. Basically paid for fried salty chicken breast cubes with no flavor. They threw in a few chili peppers but no scallions, garlic, Szechuan peppercorns. I might as well gone to chick fil an and ordered 2 chicken nuggets and those would have even tasted better. Overall disappointing experience. Would not recommend.

    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.

    Holy moly!!! I dropped in for lunch. I was so hungry, so my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I ordered the bulgogee and soup dumplings. The presentation was so beautiful. They were so. The interior has a cool in

    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.

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!

    The food was good but it is not authentic it has all been tweaked in an odd (El Paso?) fashion…read more More often than not it tasted good though. Otherwise this would be three stars. Pan fried dumplings : small, odd shape, served flipped tupside down apparently directly from the pan, and not all that crispy. BBQ pork Bao: split on top, way too soft (and wrong) texture Spicy Sichuan soup - this was easily the best dish but it's made with lemongrass ?? that's a Thai thing. An unusual but delicious tweak. Dry fried chicken - completely not authentic this came coated in a spicy dust. Truly bizarre

    I was highly anticipating eating here while driving from California through Texas, especially since…read morethey have plaques for best Chinese food in El Paso in addition to the high reviews by hundreds of customers. Unfortunately, my fiancé and I were disappointed with what was brought to the table. While the portion sizes and cost-per-plate were very nice, the flavor seemed to miss. * Our Sesame Chicken just tasted like orange chicken with a bunch of sesame seeds on it * Xiao long baos were weirdly tangy? * SumSam dumplings were good in taste overall, but the dumpling wrapper fell apart very quickly when being picked up and the filling kept falling out. Our favorite dish we ordered though * Pork BBQ Bao was also good in flavor, but the bao felt a bit starchy and was hard to chew at times. Additionally when we arrived, the floors were sticky, the sauce jars at the table did not look recently cleaned, and there was still residual food under our table from previous patrons.

Everyone eating their food minding their own food, if you don't let customers eat with a weighted plate that they are paying for then why even use those plates. I was able to sit it out and went to eat somewhere else after everyone was done eating. Bariatric things theirs other buffets that will accommodate just not this one.
