Great handpulled noodle spot. Ordered the Original Lanzhou Beef Noodles (Not Spicy). Food came out quick! Beef was tender. Soup was flavorful and not too salty. Texture of noodles was good but the shape looked like it was using a fettucine pasta maker. Overall I would come back but it would be depend on parking which can be difficult. read more

Went here for their grand opening and enjoyed the food! You scan the QR code and can order directly from your phone. I do like how many options there were from appetizers to noodle dishes. It's nice you can pick the size of the noodles as well as proteins for many dishes. The curry noodle soup was a nice change. It wasn't spicy but it had the mala numbing the more you drank it. The meat in there was tender and good. The chow mein had great umami and flavor, also lots of large egg pieces which I enjoyed a lot. Probably my favorite dish. I appreciated that the lamb skewers came out on reusable skewers (I'm not a fan of single use products that contribute to more waste). The pancake could have had more sauce it was on the drier side. My only issue was the service. Our server never came to check in on us or refill water even though you order through your phone. There were a lot of workers standing around. We also didn't receive our lamb shank until I asked them at the very end when we were almost done. I think they forgot. It was also difficult to get someone's attention for boxes and the check. read more

3.5/5 We ordered the hand-pulled dry noodles and noodle soup. The chili sauce had really good flavor! If you're not a big fan of spicy food, you can ask for less chili. We tried both the wide and extra-wide noodles, and definitely recommend the extra-wide! We also got the lamb skewers, but the meat wasn't that good. read more

I ordered the Special Lanzhou Beef Noodles Pricing is comparable within the few handpulled noodle spots across the street or nearby. I got sat down and my food came out fairly quickly during lunch, given this is a new restaurant. It did feel a little robotic with little to no human reaction which would make it perfect for introverts. Special Lanzhou Beef Noodles 4/5 I thought the overall dish was okay. I don't have a high spice tolerance but it was definitely still enjoyable. I liked the noodles texture, nice and chewy. The broth was a little bland to me, although it is a clean beef broth with chili oil, I thought it could use a little more seasoning for my preference. The chili oil did suppress the flavors of the broth. The beef was nice and tender but not enough protein was on my bowl which was kind of sad. If the other spots are full or closed, this would be my next option to fix my cravings for chinese handpulled beef noodles. Ambience 4/5 It's a nice dining area. I thought my small table for 2 was too close to the table of 4 next to me, that I was practically part of their table. Staff 4/5 They were nice and friendly. Although not much check ins, I got in and out quickly from ordering to paying. read more

DH Noodles & Grill opened 2 months ago where L & L Hawaiian was. Decor definitely upgraded. Unsure about seating. Seated soon after entering. Ordered on QR code. Wasn't difficult, just perplexing for ones with a short memory. Ordered. Food came in 5ish minutes. Members get a discount on each entree. Offerings: (Dun Huang, Northwest China): fresh hand pulled noodle soup, fried noodles, dried fresh hand noodle, chef specials, cold dishes, BBQ & skewers, hot appetizers, fried rice. Desserts, drinks. Bites: Dun Huang signature cold noodle (16.99) -a dish to order on a hot day. Dry, no broth, mixed thin hand pulled noodles, bean sprouts, soy beans, green peppers, small cold pork & beef strips, carrots together. 7 noodle styles to choose from. -had a slight peppery hotness. Added chili oil which wasn't super hot. -lst time eating this. Initially disappointed but grew fond of it when I finished. Fulfilling. Large mural on right wall may be influenced from Chinese mythology. Front video shows video of how hand pull noodles are made. Underneath behind a window is a chef actually making same. 4.5 stars Worthy! Service ok. Quality: great! Fresh ingredients. Food made to order. Quantity: reasonable. read more

I was craving noodle soup and came across this spot. Plus, I hadn't had Lanzhou beef noodles in a while, so it was great to find one in Berkeley! I ordered the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodles, which came with tender beef slices, hand-pulled noodles, broth, chili oil, and fresh cilantro. You can also choose your preferred noodle thickness. The broth was rich and fragrant, the noodles were perfectly chewy, and the beef was tender. I also tried the Scallion Pancake with Sliced Beef. The pancake was crispy and filled with beef and fresh herbs, but it arrived cold, and the flavor was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'd skip this dish next time. That being said, the Lanzhou beef noodles alone are worth the visit! read more

We stumbled upon DH during their soft opening and are so glad we are here! It's so good. We'll def be back. The potato's are soooo crispy and perfectly seasoned. Not too spicy if you're spice averse. The bok choy was cooked perfectly with good wokhay and garlic flavor (and they pull it apart which I personally love) The Lanzhou noodles warm up your heart. The extra wide thin noodles are the perfect consistency for what I consider a hand pull noodle but all the noodles are hand pulled here. The lamb hotpot stole the show. The broth is lamby and peppery and the lamb fell off the bone, super tender The interior is bright and beautiful and the servers are all really nice and helpful too. Would def recommend:) read more

We got the door dash order for green onion with beef, 2 green onion cake with sliced beef, marinated cucumber, cumin lamb with rice, and orange chicken. The food was cooked quickly. The highlights were probably the cucumber and the beef onion rolls. But for $120 we were expecting more. The cumin lamb with rice had one piece of lamb meat on bone, a couple of pieces of lamb meat with corn in rice. Nothing to write home about unfortunately. The orange chicken was just ok. And the green onion beef was missing something. The staff was nice when we picked up our order. The place looked spacious as well. read more

Tried this new spot in Berkeley and it did not disappoint. Had the Original LanzhouBeef Noodles (not spicy). It was very good. The noodles were excellent. Also had the Scallion Pancake with Braised Pork. It was delicious, but I felt that it was a little on the dry side. Also tried the Pork Hamburger. I ordered it cut so that I could share. And lastly, had the DH Lamb Pilaf. The rice is like that of glutinous rice, but not as sticky. Came with a lamb rib and a little Cucumber Salad. Overall, it was a good meal. Everything came out as pictured in their menu which you have to scan the QR code to see. The interior is beautiful. They have dining space upstairs too. Will return to try their other dishes. read more

Another new noodle place in Berkeley?! The college town has no shortage of great hand pulled noodles and DH is no exception to that. But what really stood out to us is the soup base. We ordered the Lanzhou beef noodles (non spicy) and the depth of the soup is outstanding. Our toddler couldn't stop drinking the soup, which is very rare for her. Admittedly we would like to come back and try other items before making a judgement but the soup base itself was already a standout. We also got the shrimp roll and really enjoyed it. Cannot wait to come back for more? read more

Finally tried this new hand pulled noodle joint, that is a block away from 2 others on Telegraph: Noodle Dynasty and Ox9. Was able to get a table relatively quickly (no more than 5 min wait) on a Friday night. Meanwhile I looked down the street and Noodle Dynasty still had its usual line out the door, but it's not as spacious as DH. I really liked the ambiance here! Really high ceilings...there is actually a second floor mezzanine seating area but it was closed off. Well-lit and fully remodeled. Tables were spaced comfortably apart and didn't feel as cramped as the other 2 spots down the street. On to the food. I ordered the Original Lanzhou Beef Noodles (non spicy) soup. And shared the Stir fry Bok Choy. The noodle soup dishes came up relatively quickly after placing the order. My beef noodle soup bowl was huge. The wide noodles I selected tasted so good, fresh, and great texture. The soup was very savory! There was a generous amount of noodles, but not enough beef. That reminds me...Someone posted a video review here that there was a meat lovers noodle dish where it was an "all the meat you can grab with one hand". But I didn't see it on the menu when I went :( That would have satisfied my desire for more meat. Bok choy was good complement to the soup that had nearly no veggies. Overall I'll come back to try other dishes. The hamburger appetizers looked good. read more

I ordered the signature Lanzhou beef noodles spicy with extra wide thin noodles, which I enjoyed! The chili oil was quite flavorful--nice flavor of spices without being overly hot. The noodles were the perfect texture, and I liked how they absorbed the broth. The meat was good too, although I wished more was included. The soup was served extremely quickly, and it is nice that you can see them hand pulling the noodles in the back. read more

Had a great meal at DH Noodles! The Sweet & Sour Chicken was crispy, juicy, and coated with a delicious sweet and tangy sauce. The Stir-Fried Sliced Beef with Mung Bean Noodles and Green Peppers was full of flavor--the beef was tender, and the mung bean noodles absorbed the rich sauce perfectly. The standout dish was the Crispy Lamb Chops. They were perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with amazing flavor. Every bite was delicious. The portions were generous, the food was served hot and fresh, and the service was friendly. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations.

We entered a few minutes before peak dinner times, so there were seats to choose and sit from. By the time we left, mostly all the seats were filled up, so I would suggest coming in early. I liked the naming for each of the ramen dishes, some I recognized the names from Hawai'i. For this round, we ordered 3 different types of ramen: the Kuni, Broke da Mouth, and the Miso Hungry. These orders also came around the same time. A notable elements I liked about the ramen was that the noodles were chewy and springy, and the broth was smooth and easy to drink. I also didn't have the urge to drink lots of water either, so the seasoning was perfect. The other element was that I got to enjoy the ramen's broth and noodles as the stars of the dish, and the proteins, like the pork were supporting roles. For me, what I enjoy ramen are the broth and noodles, so I'm happy that these are prominent in the dish, rather than me having other chow down a thick slab of pork. This restaurant hit the right marks for what a delicious ramen is for me, so I'll come back, and maybe try their other broths.

The menu is extensive and has a lot of great options. However, our food took over 30 minutes to come out, with the ramen coming out first, then buns, then sushi rolls. Since we were on a time crunch, a few of us either had to rush eat our dish or take it to-go. This was a bummer, but I would definitely come again to enjoy the food at a more preferable pace. The prices were also reasonable. Parking is as expected around campus - street metered parking. There is a restroom inside for customers.

The pork loin chashu was a bit bland though and had maybe 3 slices. To me, the biggest disappointment is that the ramen dish did not even come with an egg which is an additional $3 add on. After all the extra costs, ended up paying $22 for a bowl of ramen and that does not include the added tip on top of that. At least you can self serve sides like bean sprouts or pickles to add to your ramen. Definitely recommend the mildly spicy bean sprouts! The interior is modern and large and service is average. Just gave me my glass of water, took my order, and gave me my bill. No water refill.

It's kinda a restaurant, kinda a bar, kinda of a hangout, and kinda fun. The tiny entrance and plain facade reveals a bustling world of delicious food, tasty beverage, and lots of decorative eye candy to keep you looking around the space while you are hanging out with friends, on a date, or just relaxing after a long day. The decorations there are very upbeat, eclectic, fun, and distinctly Japanese pop culture. Posters, banners, flags, lanterns, toys, and trinkets can be found all over the restaurant, and made it fun to keep looking around and discover new novel things to look at. I did feel like I was in an authentic Izakaya somewhere in Shinjuku, Shibuya, or Ebisu in Tokyo. The place had a lot of personality & personal flair in an otherwise, tiny & industrial small warehouse type space. Service was excellent. The host was the cute & personable Mina, who couldn't have been more accommodating, patient, friendly, and engaging. It was very busy, and even though it was our first time there, Mina made us feel welcome into their home and was also very helpful to guide us around their experience. The other staff were less engaging, but still professional, efficient, and polite. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly on all accounts, and they as a team, managed to serve an entire full house of hungry & happy patrons during the entire Saturday night dinner rush. Fun place with a good staff. We opted for Izakaya-type, shared small plates to satisfy our hunger cravings without getting too full and weighed down on big portions of heavy, rich foods. Everything on the long & expansive menu looked great, but we mostly stuck with small appetizers to sample & savor. It was nice that there were plenty of lighter, fresh vegetarian options as neither of us were really in the mood for seafood, fried food, or big heavy entrees. We ordered the Kinda Tofu, Kyuri sliced fresh cucumber salad, and Kinoko butter-grilled mushroom hot platter and washed it down with some green grape Jinro soju. Everything was pretty good! Not overly fried, greasy, salty, or seasoned. Lightly cooked, delicately glazed, with just enough seasoning & oil/sauce to make it taste good, but not end up too complicated or messy. The taste really came through using these minimal cooking & seasoning techniques. The taste of the original vegetables & tofu came through perfectly, and were only complimented by their light hints of adding flavor. Portion sizes were ample for two people, and presentation was appetizing and organized. The bill for 3 apps + 1 bottle of Soju was less than $50, so it was a good value for the fun experience & good food. Wait times during the dinner rush are long, and there isn't really anywhere to sit or stand, so reservations are recommended. You can also enter and go straight to the 10-seat bar if there are openings, but we got a table for two after around a 20-30 minute wait. After that, everything moves pretty quickly, from ordering, getting food & drinks, to wrapping up and getting your check. Perfect system if you're trying to get to a concert, movie, or appointment with a specific start time. I really liked this place, not Kinda, not Sorta, but Definitely, or Absolutely! Kinda Izakaya will always be our destination to eat & hang out next time we come back to Berkeley, it is a true gem of a Japanese Izakaya/light meal fare right in the heart of downtown Berkeley. It's fun, tasty, busy, and friendly. Small & cozy, yet also airy & comfortable.

Aug 9 2025 3:30pm 3.4 stars…read more After a short struggle to find parking, we walked the half a block to find Bansho tucked away in a corner- almost hidden from the street. The front doors are littered with adds and dirt. It looked a bit sketchy on the outside but we went inside anyway. Inside, the restaurant looks very pleasant. It has a comfortable and cozy look for a small 49 seat place. Mood music plays at a quiet level. There are several conversation starters for sure inside the restaurant like.. "What is that shrine with the green bananas on it for?" "Can you decipher the price of beer written on that chalkboard?" My favorite was "What is that treadmill doing in this restaurant?" We were seated and given menus. The waitress left and then came back after four or five minutes. I felt a little rushed to order as if the order taker assumed we had pre-prepped ourselves on their menu. We had to ask for more of a chance to look at the options. The two of us shared a bowl of Ramen, an order of California Rolls, a coke and later on we ordered Takoyaki-deep fried dough with I believe a piece of squid inside. Before the waitress left to give our first order to the chef, she said "Anything else?" I inferred she was suggesting our order was to small. Later I understood she might be warning me that that might be our last chance to order anything. It was hard for us to place that second order of Takoyaki. Once we were given our food, the waitress disappeared and never checked on us. To place another order, I had to keep the kitchen under surveillance, watching for someone to exit so we could jump up, run to the frond desk area and order. The food we did have was tasteful enough and the $41 seems fare. Negatives for Bansho. 1) The phones used by the front desk and in the kitchen are too loud, they ring for too long and destroy the ambience. Someone will one day invent a device that buzzes in your pocket instead of ringing loudly throughout the entire restaurant. Name it something catchy like "Cell Phone". 2) The Men's restroom was too dusty and the toilet seat was "spotty"- if you know what I mean. 3) Having someone check on you while you are eating and saying "Welcome In" when you get there and "Thank You For Your Business" when you leave would go a long way. I did see a sign that they are hiring so they might have been short staffed.

Conversation starters. Wright Brothers? And are those sticks on ropes for children to play with?

I recently tried Noodle Dynasty and had a great experience overall. We ordered the original Lanzhou beef noodles (non-spicy), sliced pork fried noodles, and the stir-fried potato slices to share. The standout for me was definitely the original Lanzhou beef noodles. The broth was rich and comforting without being too heavy, and the noodles had a great texture - perfectly chewy and fresh. Even without spice , it was super flavorful and satisfying. The sliced pork fried noodles were solid as well, with a nice savory flavor, though they didn't quite stand out as much compared to the beef noodle soup. The stir-fried potato slices were a nice side. It was simple but well-seasoned, with a good balance of texture. Overall, a satisfying meal and I'd definitely come back, especially for those Lanzhou beef noodles. read more

Seriously one of the best Chinese spots near Berkeley. The dry pot was packed with flavor, ingredients tasted fresh, and the spice level was perfect. Portion size was generous and definitely worth the price. Staff were friendly and service was quick. If you're craving authentic Chinese food around campus, this place is absolutely worth trying. Will definitely come back again. read more

Parking in Berkeley can be hectic, but this spot was worth it. The restaurant is small with a casual café feel, cool imagery throughout, and a glass-enclosed kitchen where you can watch the noodles being pulled in the back. I ordered the House Chow Mein with the flat, knife-cut noodles, and they were amazing. The noodles had a great texture, and the sauce was flavorful without being too wet. They also offer several noodle options, which makes the menu fun to explore. I added some chili crunch for extra flavor. The Kid had the Beef Noodle Soup and said it was delicious. Our table also ordered the Spicy Wontons and Popcorn Chicken, and everyone enjoyed their food. Everything came out quickly, although the dishes arrived at different times. One thing to note is that ordering is done through a QR code. Everyone can order individually, but the check is combined for the table, so keep that in mind if your group plans to split the bill. The food was fresh, flavorful, and worth the trip. I definitely want to go back and try more of the noodle dishes and different noodle styles.

Since there is fairly limited seating, wait times can be rough, especially if you're going during lunch or dinner rush. I've waited 30-45 minutes before. The restaurant is pretty small so tables are pretty close to each other and it may be difficult to be seated quickly if you're going in with a larger group. That asides, the food as Noodle Dynasty is unmatched. I typically get their noodle soups, which are a massive portion size, & appetizers, such as lamb skewers, spicy wontons, and chinese doughnuts. To this day, I think that the spicy wontons are the best in the area - super flavorful beyond just the chili oil taste. Definitely recommend getting these!

Got the braised beef noodle soup - noodles had a nice chewy consistency and the broth was easy to sip without being too salty or spicy. It was "basic", but good. Also got the soup dumplings which were flavorable although could use a bit more juice. It was a very affordable dinner compared to a typical night out and we will come back to try some other familiar staples.

The menu is extensive and has a lot of great options. However, our food took over 30 minutes to come out, with the ramen coming out first, then buns, then sushi rolls. Since we were on a time crunch, a few of us either had to rush eat our dish or take it to-go. This was a bummer, but I would definitely come again to enjoy the food at a more preferable pace.

The ramen has a nice chew and the tonkatsu broth is really good without being overly salty which can be the case with many tonkotsu broth. Today I ordered the Akamaru Modern which for $2 includes a few drops of garlic oil and some umami paste. Was it worth the $2? Probably not but decided the splurge a little. The pork loin chashu was a bit bland though and had maybe 3 slices. To me, the biggest disappointment is that the ramen dish did not even come with an egg which is an additional $3 add on. After all the extra costs, ended up paying $22 for a bowl of ramen and that does not include the added tip on top of that. At least you can self serve sides like bean sprouts or pickles to add to your ramen. Definitely recommend the mildly spicy bean sprouts! The interior is modern and large and service is average. Just gave me my glass of water, took my order, and gave me my bill. No water refill.

HOWEVER, now meat is sold by weight with your other bowl items, and self serve, which I love. This is my favorite malatang location is the entire bay area so far. I've tried others but their broth is just really good with fresh ingredients. One complaint is that I don't like that so many of their items are soaking in water. Other malatang places don't do that. It does create a situation where you accidentally add water (and therefore weight) to your bowl. So I'm always really careful to not add excess water to my bowl. They don't even pour out the excess water for you before weighing either. I do wish they'd just presoak those items OR boil them longer/first.

The beef pancake roll had a subtle mala flavor that added a nice kick without being overly spicy or numbing. The pancake itself was delicious--I loved both the taste and the texture. It is a bit oily though, so be prepared to use your chopsticks carefully or wash your hands afterward. The beef dumplings were probably the only item I wouldn't order again. They tasted pretty similar to the frozen dumplings you can find at most Asian grocery stores, so they didn't really stand out. Overall, it's a decent spot with friendly service and some tasty dishes. I just wish the prices were a little more reasonable. Our bill came to almost $40 for items that I personally think of as more snack- or appetizer-sized portions.
