Great spot in the Edison plaza for some freshly made hand pulled noodles. I also ordered their beef skewers and they were absolutely delicious and tender with so much flavor. This place does get crowded. Food was brought out quick and servers were friendly
It is situated at the hippest and most bustling part of Edison NJ; however, Dunhuang is tugged away in the far end corner, out of sight. So the fact that the restaurant was almost at capacity during our visit spoke volumes. It meant the clientele knew the place. Armed with recommended dishes from my brother, we were unphased by the vast offerings in the menu and placed order in no time: C8. Cold Skin Noodles $9.95. This is a unique appetizer from Northern China. This was the second time in my life that I tried this dish. It was far better than my first experience. It was refreshingly cold, and the flavor wasn't as heavy as it looked. The texture of the noodle was elastic and springy, very pleasing to the mouth. Highly recommended. N1. Signature Lan Zhou Beef Noodles $10.95. I guarantee you will see at least one bowl of this noodle soup on every table. While I have had this dish many times through Chinatown and Flushing, the broth had to be one of the best. The amount of protein left much to be desired, however. Only 4 thin slices of beef, that's a bit pathetic. Other than that, all other aspects were on point. N8. Pan Fried Noodles (lamb) $16.95. OK, don't be fooled by the name - we were. We love pan fried noodles from Hong Kong / Cantonese restaurants - that thin crispy fried noodles with thick flavorful sauce and meat poured over it... No, this was stir fried, essentially a lo mien. So this was a disappointment, but the saving grace was that we picked lamb for the protein. When was the last time you had lamb lo mien? Service was excellent. The wait staff entered orders on their hand held tablets, and checked out with them as well. But, remember to bring cash to get a 3% discount.
The noodles were very good and I definitely enjoyed the soup I wasn't to big of a fan on the dumplings and could go without it
This place is really good! They always seat us right away with friendly and fast service. I usually get the spicy oil spill noodles but this time tried pan fried veg noodles. They were good but I'm going to stick to the oil spill from now on. They have good music playing and it's cozy
Normally I don't write bad reviews, this time I compelled to do it. Food tastes good, authentic, so I was excited to try it. For snack I figure to tried the famous lamb burger/sandwich. It was on the expensive side, $7/ea. It was on a dry bun with less than an ounce of mince lamb. This was smaller than a McDonald hamburger. Very disappointing. I hope owners can fix this.
Always a comfort pick! Great food for a good price!! I've been coming here since day one when they only had one table in the middle. I always get the lanzhou beef noodle soup here and it's consistently amazing! The soup is always so hard warming and yummy. Their noodles are hand pulled and you can watch them make it. And, best part, they're under $10! I also love their cucumber salad, fried chicken, and spicy dry noodles. The dry noodles would be infinitely better with meat though. The service is always fast and attentive. All the waiters and waitresses are always nice. It can sometimes be a bit noisy but that's because the place is quite small. Overall, consistently a great experience! Location: Festival Plaza Rating: 10/10
Braised Beef Noodles was delicious. Clean beef noddle broth flavors but still good. I really like the fresh noodles. I ordered regular thickness. My boyfriend prefers the wide noodles. The Multi-Spiced Beef W. Cilantro is seasoned perfectly with a little kick to it. And the beef is tender. Super quick service.
I came here for the first time w/ a friend on a Saturday afternoon, and there was no wait. We quickly got seated and even quickly received our food. The noodles tasted great, and the broth was very flavorful. It was a pretty casual noodle dish -- nothing fancy. For what it is, this restaurant is quite good. I would come here again.
Prices are great. They have entrees available for less than $10. The Lanzhou beef noodle soup broth is clean and has depth. I also love the oil spill noodles.
Quick and delicious handpulled noodles with hot broth - yes please! I like how you can customize the noodle type to your preference. The spicy beef slices and cold potato dishes were great little appetizers and were full of flavor. Service is efficient and the restaurant itself is super clean and well organized. There's a little glass window by the kitchen that allows customers to watch the noodle master make the noodles which is pretty cool!
Came here a couple of times. Their beef skewers are unbeatable. The dishes derive from the north part of China. The restaurant has many seats, but sometimes can be very busy. The ambiance is like any other restaurant. They do however have a cool window where you can see the noodles being made from scratch. Great little thing to keep the kids occupied. Service great but the food is even better. The noodles, you can pick how wide or how thin you want them. I usually get the wide flat noodles with the signature dish. It might actually be BYOB too. Double check on that. If you're in the area, definitely check them out and get the skewers.
came here twice, so i'm combining both visits. Their noodle is good and cheap, nothing more you can ask for under $10! The appetizers were alright. we found the fried items were too oily (fries, fried bread). they just soaked in a lot of oil. so I would avoid getting those. It is the restaurant tucked in the corner, easily missed if you aren't looking. I will definitely return for more noodles!!!
Even though I've been here around the time it opened 5-6 years ago, I recently rediscovered the place and has become by my new favorite restaurant. We've been coming here once a week over the last month or so. I always get the liangpi, aka cold noodles, which you don't seen often in Chinese restaurants. These are the traditional cold noodles from the region, made from rice flour, and dressed in a peanut sauce. It's my absolute favorite things to eat. The other must order dish is the lamb skewers, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The hand pulled noodles are always a big hit, you can customize the thickness and they come in clear or spicy broth. Service is always prompt and friendly. Moreover, the food comes out extremely fast. Always a great experience here.
Hand made noodles and you can get extra orders for a small fee. The soup is very flavorful, lots of white pepper and prickly ash pepper oil but more balanced this time. A few different ways to make the noodles, too from very thin to very thick depending on how you like it. Beef in the soup was lean and good, too. Get their signature classic, N1 (spicy) or N1.1 (not spicy). Tea was very good, a barley tea? Service pretty hit & miss, though. read more

The delicious lamb skewers here make it hard to share 10 with a group of people. This place is nestled away at the end of the shopping center which makes it a little hard to find but the food here is pretty good. The menu is also pretty simple so that was nice. Service was fast and the waiter was attentive to ensure we had water or tea. The beef noodle soups here were also pretty good and hits the spot especially on a cold winter night in this area. read more
My wife and I stopped in for a weekday lunch. Every table was seated, but the turnaround was quick (5-10 min). Watching a chef make the hand pulled noodles made it easy to pass the time! The staff was curt and a bit lacking in warmth, but efficient at taking orders and clearing tables for new guests. Whatever was lacking in service was easily made up for by the delicious meal. We both ordered the braised beef noodles. I went with thick noodles and Kiana opted for regular. She made the better choice. The regular noodles are the perfect thickness for both absorbing the flavor of the broth without becoming soggy and giving you something to sink your teeth into. And how about that broth? It was aromatic and rich in flavor with some enhancing spice. The beef was tender as anything. I only wish there was more. We also ordered five lamb skewers. The meet was cooked well, but we thought the seasoning was too heavy handed. The cumin was overpowering. The hand pulled noodles made the meal, and I look forward to trying their signature beef noodles next time around! read more
Delicious Lan zhou noodle place in Edison. This is a chain- I've been to the one in flushing too and it tastes the same! Very consistent taste. The broth is one of the best broths I've ever had. It is just seasoned perfectly. Prices are incredibly cheap here. $10 for a bowl of noodle soup! The noodles are all hand pulled! Very busy restaurant located in the HMart plaza. They just opened 2 years ago so the place still looks relatively new and clean. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Would definitely come back! read more

Food was served super fast. Their classic noodle dish was phenomenal! Added some bok choy to it and I was in heaven. Spice level was perfect and noodles were fresh. Can't wait to come back. read more

Good noodle option tucked away in a corner of the H Mart shopping plaza. The menu consists mainly of noodles and dumplings, although they have some other items available like skewers. Since it was my first visit, I ordered the signature lanzhou beef noodles. It was a fairly decent size bowl given the price of $10 (that said I was still a little hungry after finishing). Found it to be very flavorful, with a hint of spice. Noodles were nice, although I could have done with more. Reasonable amount of beef. We also ordered the cold beef appetizer with cilantro. Also enjoyed this. Will definitely return. Next time will try the lamb noodles. read more

Been craving beef noodle soup so decided to visit Dunhuang when I was in the area. I came on a Sunday and there was no wait at all, I was seated right away. I ordered the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup which is a bit spicy due to the chili oil. The chili oil adds more flavor and would highly recommend it if you can take spice! If not, I have tried the regular Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup as well and it was delicious too. I do wish the dish came with more vegetables, but I did see other items on the menu that contains bok choy, etc that cost a bit more. However, I think the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup is worth it's price, it came with a good amount of beef and lots of noodles. I left feeling very full! Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone craving beef noodle soup! The noodles are hand pulled and come in different types (i.e., thin, regular, wide, thick, etc). If you are in the area, I would give this place a try! read more
We went here for a late dinner. Not busy, close to closing. We ordered Pan Fried Noodles with Chicken and Braised Beef Noodles. Our order took less than 15 minutes. They're both taste great and delicious. Serving Staff are friendly and helpful. Clean, well lighted and nice decor. Will be back here soon. read more

My family and I were able to go back to Dunhuang after an unacceptably long wait at Tasty Moments. The beef noodle soup and the lamb skewers were top notch as I remembered. They make the noodles in house by a window for all to see. Lots of kids were into it the day we went. We also ordered the braised lamb shoulder. It was one of those dishes I appreciated more after having it as leftovers. Pretty generous portion size and amount of meat for the price. Tasty flavor that was great mixed with some rice. The only dish we weren't too big fan of was the spicy oil spill wide noodles. It was the typical mala oil mixed with very wide noodles. The grease level was a little too much for us and in my opinion it's harder to get the flavor into those really wide noodles. read more
Came here hungover with my friends on a Saturday and it was a perfect meal to liven us up again. We didn't want anything too heavy and the broth was flavorful. We also brought in a cake for a friends birthday and they so kindly offered to put our cake in the fridge and gave us serving plates. read more
I was visiting from out of town and wanted to go to a place where locals visited. Edison has LOT of ethnic restaurants so no problem there. Dunhuang is located in one of the various strip malls off of Lincoln freeway. I checked out some Yelp reviews looking for a place that had good dumplings. This place had overall good reviews and was not far from where I was staying. When I first visited, around 6 PM on a weekday, I was surprised how small the interior was. It's very cozy, but not a lot of seating, so you may want to check when their busy times are if you want to sit down and eat there. However, I was immediately seated, so no issues there. When you enter, there is a window at the back of the restaurant where you can see a person making the noodles from scratch. throwing the dough and stretching it like you see in those cooking shows on TV. It was a sight to see and reassured me that the dumplings would be handled with care. The waiter was nice and brought out some hot tea (I believe unsweetened green tea, I could be wrong though) after I was seated. The tea was very refreshing. I usually don't drink unsweetened hot tea, but hey, why not try something new...you may like it! The waiter provided the menu and I looked over a rather extensive menu for such a small place. I did not take any pix of the menu, but other Yelp reviews have photos of the menu. I decided on the Pork, Leek and Shrimp dumplings. With those ingredients, how could I go wrong?! Good choice. However, for some reason, I chose the 25 dumplings for the meal. Not sure what possessed me to do that. I should have chosen the 15 dumpling meal instead. I only ate 15 of the dumplings and I was SOOOOO full. I did freeze the rest and ate them after I returned from my trip. I did not realize they were so large. Hopefully, the pictures can partly convey the size of the dumplings. I think the waiter's eyebrows went up a bit when I ordered them too. That should have told me something :) The flavor of the dumplings was very balanced. It's hard to put it another way. No flavors dominated the dumplings and maybe that is how it's supposed to be, but the freshness was excellent. The dough was just the right thickness and a little chewy. There was lots of filling in the dumplings, very easy to identify each ingredient. The texture melted in my mouth. It was very satisfying. As I mentioned, the flavors were subtle, with a slight sweetness of the pork, leeks providing a texture contrast and the shrimp also providing some contrasting flavor and texture. The dumplings were served with a side of soy sauce for dipping. I think I would have liked to have a bit more standout flavor in the dumplings, but again, the dumplings may be traditionally prepared like that and I may have needed to adjust my expectations. For me, the sauce helped enhance the flavor a bit. I'm no good at using chopsticks, though I have practiced, but I was so hungry, I did not want to make myself look silly chasing a single dumpling around the plate with the chopsticks for 5 minutes, so I chose a fork. I'll improve on my chopstick technique later. I would definitely go again, order a different type of dumpling or a noodle dish to further expand my pallet and experiment with something different, but overall, it was a good experience. read more

One of many Chinese restaurants in this H-Mart anchored shopping center. Checking Yelp for recommendations because we were only visiting. Tasty Moments looks more decorated (uniforms and table cloths), and by contrast Dun-Huang is more of a local/family feel. We came during Tasty's lunch break(closed) so we walked by their kitchen staff (smoking outside), and tried our luck at DH next door. Although I wanted to try the Stinky Tofu at Tastys, I'm just as satisfied with the choices here - hand pulled noodles and dumplings. Clearly both were prepared by experienced cooks, and am very pleased with their service. I'd give DH a 4 stars for the overall experience. read more
Came here for dinner. The space was nice and clean and the tables were well spaced out. Pretty much anywhere you sit you can see one of the chefs hand pulling noodles fresh in the kitchen so obviously you need to order noodles. We ordered the pork burger, Lanzhou beef noodle soup and lamb pan fried noodles. The pork burger was very flavorful with tender pieces of pork. The bun that it came in tasted freshly made and was warm. The beef noodle soup had a clean beefy flavorful broth and the hand made noodles had a great chew. The pan fried noodles were also delicious with that nice chewy noodle texture. The lamb was tender and had only a slight gamey taste to let you know it was lamb. read more
Everything was delicious. It was nice that I can ask for less spicy on some of the dishes. The dumplings were very good. The wraps were nice and thin and each one has a whole shrimp in it. The hand drawn noodles were very good. The lamb skewer was really nice too. Highly recommended. read more
