Although the place is titled "Lanzhou Beef Noodles蘭州牛肉麵," it actually serves noodles and rice…read morenoodles from several other regions in China. I came specifically for the biang biang noodles! Three-in-One Spicy Biang Biang Noodles: Super delicious!!! The noodles were perfectly wide and thick, with a wonderfully al dente texture. The pork was cut into large cubes, about one centimeter square, with a typical savory flavor from northern China. It was stewed until very flavorful, without any gamey taste, and the perfectly layered pork belly looked appealing. The tomato & egg stir-fry had plenty of eggs, not too shredded, making it very satisfying. It was only slightly thickened, resulting in a very smooth, scrambled egg texture, perfect for mixing with noodles. I ordered the chili powder mild, which was just right for me. It only had the aroma of oil, without being greasy at all. Although it was slightly different from the original Shaanxi version, I think it tastes even better, and the portion size was very generous, so I didn't mind the details. After all, I'm not from Shaanxi. Of course, it would be even better with some cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, or potato cubes, which was also the authentic recipe. After this successful experience, I'd love to try Wuhan hot dry noodles and Xinjiang stir-fried rice noodles next time!

My personal favorite thing to order was the Tangsuyuk, especially with how it was served separately from the sweet and sour sauce. Yes, I know it's just another crispy fried pork dish, but as someone who seeks comfort in food, it's definitely worth a try. Anyway, not a personal fan of their seafood pancake as it seems pretty doughy for my taste, but would definitely give everything else another go (or perhaps try something new) the next time I visit!

Really exciting place focused on Northwest Chinese cuisine…read more The signature dish, the hand-pulled beef noodle soup, had a fairly light, but subtle, flavor. The noodles themselves I wish were chewier (got the 'flat' but probably should have gone for 'extra wide'), and perhaps it'd been nice to have some different textures inside the soup (e.g. something crunchy). The scallions in the soup were also too wide, and needed to be sliced more thinly. The beef pancake was quite decent, though the edges didn't have enough beef and the middles had too much beef. The beef was tender, though I might have liked it more flaky. The sauce inside the pancake was somewhat unevenly applied, and a bit too sweet. I wonder if a dipping sauce (maybe a vinegar?) would have helped. The blueberry with mashed yams was fascinating. It was listed under appetizers, and wondered why the dish came out last. But the dish was a bit sweet (naturally!) and so it actually worked as a light modest dessert! The wait staff was spot on after all in putting out the dish last. The stir-fried cabbage dish was beautiful! It was appropriately crunch, yet using good wok hey. The salt level was a bit high, but the spice level was good. Their spice ratings were a bit timid to what I encounter in Szechuan restaurants (the 'regular' level seemed to be more 'mild-regular'). The stir-fried cumin potato was delicious; nicely flavored, nicely charred. Some bits were a bit oily but the cook on the potato was really neat. Will revisit!!!

On the other hand, the lamb was excellent. We had Lan feast tender boiled mutton (excellent when dip in the sauce), tangy & spicy shredded potatoes (ok, only spicy and not much taste otherwise), lamb skewer (good), chili oil hand-pulled noodles (excellent), Lanzhou hand-pulled beef noodles (excellent except beef). We also ordered two summer drinks: mung bean slush and lychee jasmine iced tea. Both were delicious. This restaurant is quite popular with many young people and the service is adequate. I will definitely come back if I am in the mood for hand-pulled noodles.

Super delicious and flavorful Chinese food. Large portions at a great price! They serve a pretty…read morespecific type of Chinese cuisine, so you kinda have to know what you're getting into. Most of the dishes are fairly spicy and/or pickled flavor (Chinese sauerkraut). I'd say it's mild to medium on these flavors compared to others I've had, so first timers should be able to enjoy it! Signature sauerkraut fish (large) 奈哥 酸菜鱼 (大份) * 5/5 * Generous amount of fish which was super flaky and tender. Comes with a variety of picked and fresh veggies that are perfectly cooked still with a nice crunch. There's also some bean curd skins and large comes with 2 bowls of rice. Broth and flavors are good, super savory and mouth watering and not too fishy. Medium spicy (slightly numbing) and medium picked sourness. The perfect dish! Feeds 2 generously. Steam Chicken With Chili Sauce 秘制口水鸡 * 4/5 * Chicken was super tender (served chilled), had a good amount of meat for the price, and was boneless which made it easy to eat. It just a little bland. It's called mouth watering chicken in English and needed more spice and salt. There was a deal where if we paid with cash, we got a glass of free plum juice per person, so we got 3 cups for our table. It was super good. Tastes like Asian plum juice (which is a unique flavor). Slightly medicine-y but in a good way. Fruity, floral, slightly bitter and lightly sweetened. 5/5 for the drink. Overall a great meal here. Definitely give it a try. The restaurant was decently busy on a Saturday night around 7-8 pm, maybe 50% full. Service was prompt and friendly and restaurant was clean. It's located down the stairs once you go since the building.

Ordered delivery from here so the review is purely based on food…read more I had their spicy numbing fish, fried chicken wings ( the original style maybe? Not the lemon one), and scallion pancakes. Everything tasted so good! Fish was tasty, but a little under salted, which is better than over salted. Their wings, inf was soooooo good!!! If you can only get one thing here, I'd pick the wings over their fish. Scallion pancakes were also good, but since it was not eaten fresh , and its prob been sitting there for over 30min in a container, it was not as crispy as I'd like. I'd imagine it being quite good if you were eating in. The food was so good that I ordered it twice during my last trip to Boston! Definitely will be back next time in town!

Recommended by my friend, this pan-fried bun生煎 place isn't far from MFA Boston. The little place is…read moreincredibly popular and well-known among Boston's Chinese student community. Shanghai Classic Pork Pan-Fried Buns上海生煎饅頭: I was instantly hooked! It's hard to imagine finding such good pan-fried buns in the US. Almost every table ordered them, so they were all freshly made, piping hot. The bun was made with unleavened dough, making it chewy and refreshing, with a light, crispy bottom--not oily or hard. The meat filling was substantial and tender, with plenty of broth (see picture). It was sweeter than salty, incredibly umami. The chili oil was also very fragrant, and dipping it in Zhenjiang vinegar enhanced the flavor and cut through the greasiness. Shredded Pork & Preserved Vegetable Noodle Soup雪菜肉絲麵: The noodles were thin and round, with a soft, mushy texture. While the noodles were clearly machine-made, this isn't a problem in the Yangtze River Delta region; the issue was likely overcooking. The shredded pork were well-stirred, with tender meat, but the noodles lacked flavor. They had to be eaten with the pickled mustard greens雪菜 to be slightly salty, and the umami flavor was severely diluted. The tableware is all disposable, and tipping is not mandatory. It's quite affordable.

They come out piping hot and fresh, and can kind of be hazardous if you bite into them too quickly and cause the soup to spurt out. I don't think I've had better ones in the states! In fact, even in Shanghai, it's kind of hard to find good ones sometimes (at least ones that serve them all day and not just for breakfast). It's more of a takeout place as it's rather small, but the interior is clean and bright.
