Ive had the Braised Beef with flat noodles, wide noodles and thick noodles. Ive also had the Lamb Soup with flat noodles. The Lamb soup they said is their specialty. The meats are extremely tender and juicy, the broth is herbal, perfectly salted and exquisite in aroma and flavor. Ive been coming here for a few weeks now and I will be back pretty often. The staff is friendly and you can see them making the noodles by hand behind the glass, so cool! Its a humble little restaurant but the food and service is great! These are my favorite types of restaurants, small in size but HUGE in flavor.

Authentic chinese beef noodle place. Exhibition style kitchen behind the glass where you can see your noodles being hand made. Quite cozy atmosphere, since the place is on the smaller side. Bowls are quite big, could have been easily shared. The cold side dishes were really good as well.

This place and those noodles? Undefeated. Beef noodle soup or just about anything on that menu is fantastic. The staff is friendly and awesome from the guys slap and noodles to the people serving your food. Big fan. I come here maybe once a month? Ive always been satisfied by what they serve here and Ill go between beef noodle soup or one of their dry soups, which I guess dry soup is just noodles? Anyway, highly recommended. Come to hear and if you dont like it, you are a dweeb.

We read that this restaurant gets extremely busy with very long lines, so Saturday morning, we made sure to arrive right when they opened, and I’m so glad we did because minutes later lines of people started showing up. (It’s a very small restaurant that can maybe accommodate 30-35 people max?)The hand pulled noodles in our soup tasted so delicious with the perfect amount of springiness in each bite. Highly recommend! (Make sure you go early)

🇨🇳 CHINA (Gansu)Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:No matter how good the beef is here, and these are decent cuts for such an economical price point, the joy from a bowl is almost purely from these springy noodles. While a master might not approve of some noodles being imperfect or different sizes, it is somehow comforting to see directly how hand made each and every one in your bowl is, these noodles come nowhere near any machines.

Loved their pickle cabbage beef noodle soup, from the broth to the noodles and the meat, so delicious. Don’t miss out the sides, potato salad was my all time favorite (So good) The only issue I had was the beancurd, it had some weird funny soapy taste. Not so sure what really happened in the kitchen, but wish the owner could read this and resolve the issue. Besides that, everything was good.

This place does not look like much as you try to find it from the parking lot but it is one of the best hole-in-the-wall hand tossed noodles Ive tried!!The place is small and minimalistic, the menu is also small as in they only have a few options. However, the flavor you get in each bowl is freakin delicious! They hand toss the noodles right in front of you, and (depending on the spice level you pick) the broth brings it all together. Even in a triple digits hot summer day these noodles in their delicious broth make everything better.The boyf and I were so surprised this little joint could be so awesome. Its over an hour drive for us but we are definitely coming back.

The price for noodles is about $10. Extra noodles $2, extra egg $1.5. They send the meal very quickly so you don’t need to wait for a long time. The price is about right. Small dish is so so and a little expensive. So combo is not recommended
