    Fried bread stick
    Angel P.

    We were quickly seated on a packed Saturday afternoon. We ordered the soybean milk (large), fried bread stick, sliced beef & tripe in hot chili oil and lamb stew noodle soup. The sliced beef & tripe in hot chili oil was pretty good. The star of the show was the lamb stew noodle. The portion is huge and very well priced. The noodles and broth were great. The soybean milk and fried bread stick are on the breakfast menu and we got them in the afternoon: the fried bread stick was not great as it seemed like it has been sitting out for a bit after being fried this morning. The soybean milk was ok, but it seemed like it was a bit burnt/overcooked. You definitely only come here for the food, and not much for the atmosphere. If you come as a solo diner or party of 2, you might be seated with someone else/another small party. They take credit cards (min. $10; no processing fee).

    String Beans

    I enjoyed a meal here. I had the Chinese hamburger and the sautéed string beans. Very generous portion. Had to spend over $10 to use a credit card which was fine. Service was fine-had to go to the counter to ask for a box.

    Beef Noodle Soup
    Victoria K.

    You get what you pay for, and in this case you get a lot for cheap. This was a hefty bowl of noodles with a delicious broth for around $9. I cannot emphasize enough how shocked I was that I got THIS much noodle for the price point. Finding the beef slices was also like a treasure chest-- every time I thought I'd finished eating the beef, I'd discover more beef pieces in the soup, which is just ideal ya know? I was so surprised by the mixed reviews-- definitely the service is lacking, but this isn't a service type of place. You come in, get quick service with warm food, and you're out. The service doesn't need to be great in order for this to be an amazing meal. What I will say is that it smelled slightly of toilet the entire time we were sitting down, but you get used to it and then you just vibe. Also, I saw a few reviews say they don't take credit, but they do!!

    Beef noodle soup

    Came on a whim for lunch with my friend and was not disappointed! Definitely a more authentic noodle joint (not so much a place you would go to get American Chinese food like orange chicken). The portions are so big yet so affordable. I got the classic beef noodle soup, which came with a generous portion of beef and noodle. Perfect for a cold day. The service was also so quick and friendly; my friend and I were sat right away even though the restaurant was full, and the staff spoke Chinese to us which I love. Highly recommend for a quick and cheap meal!

    Lam soup noodle
    Mayumi S.

    I love here because cheaper than most place and my opinion Improved taste of meat and soup. But receipt came out $10 for noodle. Not $8.50 that is on menu price. Understand little higher ( many place not making new menu but some are)Other place said it's old one then after few month they change menu ... but not here?? I didn't ask why different but May be next time I will . But I found review some people said double tip!! I came here with my partner never like this. Veg and meat bun also expensive than I was expected. $6 for 4 small buns. Little disappointed. But I will back though. Improving soup and meat. But May be another place?

    I came here on a whim with a friend. The service was very friendly and everything came out fast. I'm disappointed with the brisket noodle soup. The noodle itself was made well. The broth was too fatty and could use more flavor. The spicy chicken feet was not tasty and has a weird taste and smell to them. The space overall, doesn't look clean. The low lit light doesn't help either. My friend's food could of came out hotter, temperature wise. I don't think , I will be back.

    Sliced Beef Noodle Soup
    Justin T.

    This place is fantastic! I've come here twice already in the last week because it has a noodle soup that is just so yummy and worth. I really enjoy the broth, bok choys, and meat together. I would agree that service here isn't the best, especially if they're busy. Regardless, I would definitely recommend going here if you're ever craving a hearty noodle soup that will fill you up and warm you up.

    spare rib noodle soup + diet coke
    Daniel H.

    Food: This spot is an underdog for beef noodle soups in Chinatown. For $8 a bowl, it's def one of the most value options you can get in chinatown. The beef brisket noodle soup and spare rib were both pretty good. Its the same broth i'm pretty sure just with different meat options. I like that they provide chili oil and vinegar to adjust to my taste. I would probably pass on the scallion pancake. It was a bit dough-y for me. Beef brisket noodle soup: 4/5 spare rib noodle soup: 4/5 scallion pancake: 3/5 Ambiance: The inside has a good amount of seating. There's these interesting lighting fixtures that you see at a lot of chinese restaurants from the 90s. Service: There is a $10 card minimum.

    Cattle viscera hand-pulled noodle soup
    Bethany M.

    I LOVE noodle soups, and Lanzhou's noodle soups are the star of the show! The broth is rich, tasty, and authentic. Amount of noodles is very generous, but I did with they had more meat. Still, the meal was filling and homey -- definitely hits the spot, and all for less than $9! Even though they're located right at the corner of the Chinatown gate, I had no clue this place existed. Unfortunately, I think they're overshadowed by the popularity if NanZhou Noodle House, but I actually prefer how LanZhou makes their noodle soup (although they have more limited options, LanZhou's broth and noodles are better in my opinion). I think a house special noodle soup with a combination of their meats listed would really be a great addition to LanZhou's menu. Their seating is meant for groups of 4+, so if you come alone or with a date, be prepared to be seated at a larger table. Not uncommon for some Chinese restaurants! Service was okay, but you're not here for the service but for the food. They accept credit card for any meal over $10.

    The food is really good, the noodle were nice and bouncy. I also got the bao to go at the register and those were good as well. The people are nice and quick with the food. The place is kind of dark and has the menu on its wall, but that's when you know a place is legit.

This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

The food is consistently strong, and the signature dan dan noodles are a must-order. We also tend to get the chicken potstickers, scallion pancake, kung pao chicken, and dry pot beef, along with white rice for the table. It's a menu that rewards repeat visits. We've had both takeout and dine-in here, and we definitely prefer dining in. The food is at its best when it comes straight out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and kind without being overbearing. For seating, we prefer the cozy but small upstairs dining area, so making a reservation on OpenTable is usually a good idea. There are a few high-top tables downstairs near the kitchen and windows, which are also great, but if you prefer a quieter or cozier spot, we think the upstairs is best. They also offer a happy hour with good prices, and overall, the value for the food quality is excellent. We often bring out-of-town guests, and it's always a hit. Sichuan cuisine remains distinct from typical American Chinese, which helps Dan Dan stand out. We've also noticed their Ardmore location, which appears to be a strong alternative. Consistently good, well-run, unique, and worth visiting, especially for the dan dan noodles. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

Glad I didn't opt to dine in as seating looked extremely limited and cramped. Stuck with a simple dandan noodle (this is what they're known for) and while the portion size was large, that's pretty much all it had going on. Sauce was decent but not enough to mask the doughy, overcooked noodles and grease puddles all over The worst part is it definitely upset my tummy and I did not feel good at all the day after. Tasted and felt a lot more like cheap lomein at panda express than an upscale Chinese restaurant

Can see this place being overrun during peak hours, as it was already a bit busy even at 5pm midweek. Lots of takeout business too but fortunately there are seatings available for 20-25 diners. The shop is in a nice area of the revitalized Powelton/Drexel/University City area across from a few new developments with reasonable street parking in the area. Absolutely a go-to if in the area, and may be worth driving a bit to if in the Greater Philly region.

I ordered my usual ramen and two sushi rolls to split with my partner, and ordered through here on yelp through DoorDash. Because of a system issue, my food was ordered twice (after paying it said there was a system error and it couldn't be completed and my cart was still full and after it happened twice I figured something was really wrong.) I had a sense something was weird, and had my partner call ahead to assure there was only ONE order, and otherwise cancel the second immediately, which he did. When I got there there were 2 orders, and the restaurant smilingly said it was already made and wanted to give me both bags. They REFUSED to cancel an order or to talk to DoorDash directly. I insisted on calling DoorDash in the store to make sure I got a refund because I couldn't afford to pay double for my food and risk it (what would be $84 for one bowl of soup and two sushi rolls.) After 45 minutes on the phone, and now cold soup and warm sushi to bring home, I was assured I would get my money back in "a few days." It has now been two months and I have not received a refund. I have been going here for years, and very upset on this lack of oversight on the restaurants part. I think they mostly interact with college students that are passive and they can manipulate. The restaurant said it was my fault because I used the ordering service they provided through yelp like I should have known better not to use it (and again, I've ordered online here many times!) They made my favorite ramen, but the countless hours I have now spent on very expensive cold soup and warm sushi-- I will not return until this is rectified. Other comparable restaurants that make ramen in other areas of the city of the same size will send me a full refund for a drink just for sending me the wrong flavor! it's so loud in the restaurant to even have a conversation or be on the phone to communicate when the issue happened (again college scene and club music.)
