Nice place to stop by for some fresh made noodles and dumplings. We had a large group and were able to try a variety of items. We had the Beef scallion pancake, Liang Pi, Cabbage dumplings, Spicy wide noodles, Hot oil noodles and the classic soup noodles. The homemade noodles had a great chewy texture, and the homemade dumpling skins were great as well. All the food was well seasoned and had a nice spice to it. There was also extra chili on the table if you wanted more spice. Service was quick and standard for a chinese restaurant. read more

About as authentic as you can get..... I know that word is tossed around a lot but to Dun Huang's credit it is indeed authentic northern Chinese cuisine. Dun Huang sits on the tail end of the H Mart plaza and can be easily overlooked especially with the extremely popular and constantly packed Tasty Moments right next door. Spacious,modern and clean with a rather compact menu featuring hand pulled noodles in 5 widths available depending on the dish {there is a display window where you can see the days noodles being stretched.}. We decided to start with the Chinese lamb burger {$6.95} which came to the table overstuffed and piping hot in it's own sturdy paper envelope.The bao was flakey and hot, toasted and held a moist shredded lamb seasoned with deep, spicy red hued sauce that numbed the tongue,cleared the sinuses and demanded another cautious bite... Excellent. Next came the meat dumplings in spicy sauce {$6.95}...They definitely looked the part as I stirred them together with that florescent, oily chili sauce with a scattering of chopped scallions. Unfortunately other than the delightfully chewy skin they held little flavor and lacked salt... Too Bad. As mains we ordered the Pan fried Lamb noodles{$15.95} beautifully chewy wheat noodles quickly stir fried with lamb tripe and leg, cabbage,onions and tomatoes this was a subtle presentation that only required a spoon full of chili oil to bloom the sauce...I was quite expecting a bolder dish but was quite satisfied as the flavors married. Next was the Lan Zhou noodles with carmalized pork topped with shredded carrots, cucumbers and scallions {$15.95} The noodles were the star of this dish as the it took center stage gently mixed with a slightly sweet pork broth..... hot, cool,spicy and savory this one was the best on the table so far. Portions are on the smaller size but this menu invites the diner to try many of the smaller dishes and appetizers so it makes sense.Their slightly nutty tea was plentiful and hot and service was quick and efficient.... all in all a excellent meal for less than $50.00 for two diners with tip. There is so much more to explore on Dun Huang's menu so I look forward to our next noodle crave visit. read more

When my Hubby says he's in the mood for Chinese food, I'm shook and I grab my purse and we are out the door!! I know the perfect place to take him that specializes in hand pulled noodles paired with a rich and spicy broth. We arrived at Dunhuang in Edison. This is a restaurant that is known for their Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup so that is what we ordered. We also split a Chinese Hamburger with lamb and spicy meat dumplings. The clear star of the show, hands down goes to the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup. The noodles can be seen made fresh, stretched, and cooked at their open window. The rich broth was exceptionally comforting and the noodle size can be customized from thin, medium, wide or extra wide. Regardless what size you order, the noodles have that wonderful spring to them as you eat. The Chinese Hamburger was a disappointment because the taste of the bun overwhelmed the lamb. How is that even possible? Perhaps the answer lies in the notion their filling was a tad skimpier than most places I've frequented. The Dumplings in spicy sauce were very good. They had a nice heat to them but be forewarned, it is a tad saltier than we would have liked. Next time we go back, I am eyeing some delights on skewers along with pan-fried noodles, and Wood Ear Mushroom Salad.

I dropped by yesterday to get dinner here with my friends. I've definitely heard a lot of great things about Dunhuang so I knew I had to come by to check it out for myself. I loved the general aesthetic/ambiance of the whole place. It was really cool to be able to see the hand pulled noodles being made right in front of you through the little window! We ordered the lamb kebab and Chinese hamburger with pork for appetizers. We were all really surprised at how spicy the kebab was but it was really well flavored overall! However, it was super expensive for an appetizer ($19 for 10 pieces). For the main course, we got the signature Lanzhou beef noodles and the dunhuang cold noodles. Overall, everything tasted great! The beef noodles were so delicious, filling, and super hearty. My friend asked for no radish but to add in extra beef with his noodles. When we compared, it looked like he got the radish removed but he never got the extra beef (even though we realized after that we were charged for it). Overall, I enjoyed the food and would come back to try out their other dishes, but will definitely be careful when checking our bill. read more

There are bunch of Chinese restaurants in this plaza and this one I think is my favorite. My GF prefers Kabob Tonight, but those are the top 2 in our collective opinion. Lots of good western Chinese cuisine here that is well done. read more

Came here after Hmart shopping. It was easy seating and we get to see man make noodles in the window. I been to Dun Huang before in Brooklyn, comparably the interior was nicer in Brooklyn, the edison location has cool wall decors. We ordered N1 and N2, lanzhou noodle and braised beef noodle soup. Broth was good for both. The menu isnt as extensive as the Brooklyn location in my opinion. Chicken wings was really good crispy skin, and flavorful. Just sort of pink inside so I was kind of hesitant about that. Noodle texture we picked thick for lanzhou and wide for braised beef. read more

The place is very clean and well kept. The staff is attentive. The best part is that food is AMAZING! I got the wide noodle and was very happy with the flavor of the soup. The dumplings and fries are worth trying. I would definitely come back again to eat here. read more

I was surprised by how many different sizes of noodles they had. We had 8 adults and 9 kids. We called ahead and they were able to accommodate us; a large table for the adults and the booth for the kids. If you're expecting to get spicy food here, look elsewhere. This place is for spice noobs. Most of us got the standard spicy beef noodle soup, and I thought the soup base was kind of bland - AJ Bistro in East Hanover is better. The lamb kebabs could be better (could use more cumin and/or red pepper/Sichuan pepper for the spicy version); the place around the corner is better in the skewer meats. The stewed chicken was nice and tender. It's a nice place if you have young children and they cannot eat spicy. I also would expect for a Lanzhou noodle restaurant to have a lamb version of noodle soup and I was disappointed. I would like to come back and try their dumplings though. read more

Legit chinese noodle soup place. That weird cringy food ranger guy could be in the kitchen trying to impress the cook with his Chinese. Boo Boo waited 15 minutes in a busy Sunday to dine here. It was worth the wait. The lamb burger and the beef noodle soup hit the spot. We shared the pork and chive dumps. I like this place than Xian famous food because this place not outlandish like Xian. If Xian famous food is famous then it should be DunHaung Supreme Lanzhou beef noodle Edison. ;) read more

Customer service is a hit or miss here. The first time I've been here, the service and food was great. But the llast two times I've come in, I've gotten such poor service when trying to order take out or get a table that I didn't bother moving forward with it. This time decided to try my luck again and got pretty good service from one person and not other. However, they were really busy today for Thanksgiving so I can understand. Their dumplings and noodles are so fresh and so delicious read more

Came here for a quick bite and it was great! The atmosphere is really casual and our food came out in several minutes. I ordered the special beef noodle soup and the soup is savory, refreshing, and clean. The noodle variety was great and I ordered the wide noodles which were pretty damn good. It complimented the soup and beef well. I would have liked more meat but for $10 for a bowl of noodle soup, I can't complain. For a quick bite, this place was great and I'd come back here again any time. read more

Went back for the Lanzhou beef noodles which is the signature item here. The best beef noodle soup I ever had hands down. Its not even close for me. The broth had the perfect amount of saltyness and beefyness flavor. Paired with in-house made hand pulled noodles. The grilled lamb skewers are also incredible. Come here and try these items. You wont be disappointed read more

This is one of my favorite soup noodle spots. The food not only tastes amazing but the pricing is also super affordable. My go to is the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodles soup spicy. The portions are large so I recommend going on empty stomach or be prepared to bring some home. I've also ordered the Cumin Lamb and the cabbage which are good but not something I'd order again. The ambiance is not noteworthy however the noodles are made at the location and you can see it being made through the glass that separates the kitchen from the main area. They are always busy every time I've gone with service being prompt, helpful, but not wasting any time (to the point). read more

Consistent to the NYC dunhuang restaurants I've been to at East Village and Grand Central. This particular place in Edison is open, clean, and a pleasant place for group meals. While most people I know usually get their staples (lamb kebab skewers, lamb burger, signature noodles), I've found their flat bread socked in lamb soup my absolute go-to. As a soup lover - this is a comfort food that has the perfect amount of meat and carbs that doesn't make me feel terrible/bad after eating. read more

Literally salivating just thinking about the yummy hand pulled noddle soup we had here. We came on a snowy weekday when they just opened for lunch and thankfully did not have to wait. Got two bowls of their hand pulled noddle beef soup with extra wide noddles and it was legit! I had the braised beef noddle soup and hubby had the Lanzhou beef noddles. Both were really delicious, huge in portion and just so good but I did prefer the Lanzhou beef soup more. The noddles were also really chewy and just heavenly. Also tried their lamb and beef pita burgers and both were excellent with tons of flavors. Overall this place is great, cheap and filling! wished they would open more locations!! read more

Food: ordered the Hand Pulled Noodles with a Pork Chinese Hamburgers. The pork in the bun was minced as opposed to one big piece, but it had great flavor and freshness. My friend found it a bit salty, but it still was a tasty little appetizer. The noodles were fresh with a nice texture, and the meat was tender and had a good balance of fatty and meat. Service/Environment: The most impressive part of the service was that the server remembered our entire table's order without writing it down. The service itself was pretty quick and efficient. The restaurant itself has Chinese decor and a solid amount of tables for parties of various size. Price: The Hand Pulled Noodles were less than $9, which I felt was a good bargain for the amount of food. The burger was around $6, which I felt was a bit pricey for the size. Overall: Quick service and tasty food makes this restaurant a solid place to frequent if you're looking for fresh noodles. read more

We were heading to hmart and decided to give this place a try. We arrived shortly after it opened and upon walking in, was advised that it was about 15 minutes before they would start serving. We were okay with that since we wanted to look at the menu anyhow. The menu is quite small with not many options. I wad not impressed at all but still wanted to try it since they served fresh hand pulled noodles. There is a window into the kitchen where you could watch them make the noodles. I loved this concept as I found watching them to be very interesting. We decided on the Lanzhou noodles (opted for not spicy) and the braised beef noodles. Both dishes were just ok. We thought it was a bit pricey for the portion size. read more

Mary's little lamb needs to stay far, far away! Dunhuang's lamb offerings are awesome. The Lamb Burgers are ground lamb served in a fantastic freshly made warm and crispy bread. These burgers are cheap and if you are sharing, ask the kitchen to cut them in half as they might be more difficult to cut at the table. The Lamb Skewers are tender and tasty morsels set on a metal skewer. The lamb meat isn't as fatty as other versions I've had and strongly spiced with cumin. Let the staff know if you want them spicy and they can accommodate. The Chicken Plate was very good with the hand pulled wide noodles but on one occasion was served lukewarm which was a little odd. The noodles were fresh and absorbed much of the sauce. The plate of Fresh Cucumbers in Garlic Sauce was very simple dish but crispy good. The Mung Bean Noodles and Wood Ear Mushrooms as appetizers were both vinegary and saucy. The shirt I was wearing definitely got hit with the sauce from both of these dishes. I'm not sure that my dry cleaner will be able to work his magic here but I'm hopeful. The Lamb Mutton was moist and tasty but have a layer of visible fat that may be a turnoff for some. The accompanying spices were good as the flavor of the meat required it. Looking forward to trying the soup noodles which I didn't get to try on my recent visit. read more

I've been here countless times and keep coming back for the (refreshing) delicious beef noodle soup. I like the normal size noodles and my husband likes them extra thin. The broth isn't heavy, looks pretty clear, but is full of flavor and not overwhelming like ramen sometimes can be. One bowl is enough for me (and I've got a nice appetite) but for someone with a larger appetite it may be a little small of a portion size. We LOVE ordering the spicy beef cold appetizer. Since the cold apps are pre-made they always come out super fast and you can start enjoying your food ASAP. I love the shredded potato salad too - just like my mom used to make at home. Crispy potatoes and a little vinegar makes a great combo. We've ordered the chinese hamburger before but I can't say I'm a huge fan of them. read more

Dun Huang is a very delicious spot for some savory and warm soup noodles. The menu is large enough that you'll find what you're craving but the noodles are their specialty. They make them in-house and you can actually watch them make it through a window. The broth is so flavorful and rich as well! Definitely worth a try if you're a noodle lover like me! read more

Dunhuang - N1. Lan Zhou Beef Noodles (Clear Broth) N1. - Chinese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

My party of 4 went here on a weekend around 7pm and was seated promptly. A great spot for a bowl of hot soupy noodles! Although there is not that much beef in the Lanzhou beef noodles, it will leave you quite full. You can select your choice of noodle thickness - my favorite is the wide and extra wide. The prime beef broth is also super flavorful. We also ordered the multi spiced beef with cilantro and lamb kebabs to share. Both dishes were quite flavorful and on the spicier side, but the lamb kebabs are on the pricier side for the portion. read more

I came in on a Monday at around 1 pm with my parents and the place was pretty busy for a weekday. They have both indoor and a lot of outdoor seating, so I imagine that this place gets pretty packed. To start, we ordered the lamb skewers, which was all loved. The meat was tender, and not gamey at all. We ordered it non spicy but used the table chili oil and the vinegar, and it was a great combination. If you don't like cumin, you should skip this. For mains, I was going to get the Signature Beef Noodles but made a last minute game day decision and had the Tomato Egg Noodles (egg and tomato with cilantro in savory and sour house special broth). You can pick your noodle size so I did extra wide. I'm a meat eater so I did regret my choice for a minute when I realized that my dish wouldn't have any meat. Not a huge deal though because I still enjoyed it overall. The flavor of the broth is reminiscent of a stir-fried tomato egg dish but slightly less thick. I say slightly because it was more like a thinned out sauce than it was a broth. I could have also used a bit more or perhaps have it watered down by some regular broth because the wide noodles soaked everything up. Plus after a while, it gets a little too rich. My parents got the signature so I did still get to try it. Our waitress saw my mom struggling to give me some of her noodles and she promptly brought us over a scissor, without even asking. Talk about good service! They got the regular noodles which I actually preferred over the wide ones, which I usually do not. The broth was really good too but I can definitely see it getting salty the more you drink it. Beef was only okay - kind of dry. I had no idea they had so many locations in NYC until I saw it on the menu, which is great because now I have options as to where I want to try some of their other dishes. Next on the list will for sure be the Zha Jiang Noodles, the curly fries and some more lamb skewers! Tip - they don't accept Amex so make sure you bring your Visa or some cash read more

I love coming to dunhuang. In general the food is delicious. Definitely order the lamb kebabs but make sure you eat the as soon as they come out. If you wait too long, it'll get tough. Lamb on the bone was tasty and tender, but was a little bit salty. I probably wouldn't order the mo crispy flatbread again. It was mostly fried dough, seasoned with some spices. IMO, I'd rather order some of the other dishes. The mouth watering chicken was also a bit dry and not as spicy as I would've liked. The lamb hamburger was very tasty, 10/10 would order again. Of course, the noodles were also great, the broth was clear and flavorful. They have a giant window looking into the kitchen where you can see them hand pulling the noodles. Great show and gives you and appreciation for the freshness of the noodles. read more

Nice selection of Shanghai style cuisine. The dumplings were excellent. They serve authentic combination with carefully selected materials.

It's for the food. It's from a region you may not have initially been familiar with. It's spicy enough. My local friend who was studying in Rutgers had lots of praise for this place and I had taken it upon myself to try this place out based on that -- I made no mistake but found my own reason to enjoy it. Noodles already being an East-Asian staple, Lanzhou Pulled-Noodles has this amazing texture and taste profile unlike any other region's noodles. Take that from me, who would always recommend my go-to: "Oil Spill" Flat Noodles and add beef! Oily, spicy, umami with the oh-so-slippery noodles you won't stop chewing through while transporting all the goodness of the oil mixed in with everything in the bowl, I must say that it feels nicer to have this instead of thinner, rounded noodles in just a noodle soup. Although their staple is a noodle soup, the oil spill noodles hit well anytime. That's not to discourage you from trying the namesake, but I was also thoroughly satisfied with that as well! It was a matter of preference that I enjoyed an oily, rather than soupy, noodle dish after all! Fair warning, the Mo Crispy Flatbread is numbing spicy and addicting... but you may end up burning your mouth when you find out your mouth may be more sensitive than you think to fried numbing-spicy foods. Do understand that this place, as near as the decor may look, provides straightforward service with a minimal level of a language barrier. As of writing, most of the people working here will prefer standard Mandarin Chinese for communication with English at the minimum for ordering dishes (use menu item numbers, if possible.) Their service isn't going to be as attentive if you choose to dine-in, but the food will have you ignore all that. Try different noodles from around the world and don't miss Lanzhou Pulled Noodles, which DunHuang does best! read more

Summary: Yummy authentic Chinese cuisine. Dine in, take out or have food delivered. Staff following social distancing precautions, with masks, hand sanitizer, and thermometers. I recommend their Zha Jiang Noodles! This was my first time trying out this place and I was pretty satisfied with their Zha Jiang Noodles. They hand pull their own noodles! Definitely authentic and brings back memories of my father's cooking. I would definitely come back to try other menu items. I went on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. At first it wasn't too busy but the rush began as I waited for my takeout. I came in and ordered and the wait time wasn't too long, probably about 20 minutes. As mentioned above, they are currently offering takeout, delivery through grubhub, and dine in with social distancing. They're located in the Hmart plaza. On the weekends, this plaza is packed so parking can be tricky. read more

Holy cow - absolutely spectacular. In an unassuming space next to H-Mart, they uphold COVID-19 regulations (temperature check + masks/hand sanitizer abound and tables spaced waaay apart). The lamb skewers were ok, the Chinese hamburger was average, but the spicy original beef noodle soup was a standout. Holy cow I would eat that every day; from the springy texture of the noodles, the quality of beef and the highlight of the meal - the broth. Broth is simply awesome, dunk anything you got there. You MUST come here to try the dish. read more

Atmosphere: 5 You walk in and immediately smell the food. It's super appetizing. There's a window where you can watch how the noodles are made. I also love the TV that shows China and how the noodles are made there. It's super welcoming and laid back. Portions: 5 The amount of noodles was perfect. I'm glad that the bowl of noodles isn't just filled with noodles and that there is a good amount of meat in it too. The dish of bok choy is enough for two to share and pair with their noodles. Flavors: 4 The noodles are made quite soft which isn't usually how I like them. However, these noodles are freshly made by hand and they just melted in my mouth. It's super delicious. The broth was delicious and had a really good beef taste. I'm glad they didn't cheap out and use cheap beef. The garlic bok choy is delicious. Overall the food was all slightly too salty for me. Otherwise, the entire meal has really good flavors. I'm looking forward to going there again and trying out different noodles there. Delicious!!! read more

We finally went to Dunhuang for dinner. I'd say overall nice experience. We ordered the main house dish, beef noodle soup and the potato curly garlic fries. The soup was pretty good, nothing special. Small issue with the fries. They are 'extremely' flavorful... delicious, yet were slightly undercooked. We asked the waiter to cook them a little more so they could crispin but he couldn't understand what i was trying to explain to him so he ended up just canceling them.

We really liked the Braised Beef Noodles. Our only issue is that the soup might be a little bit much on the hot spicy oil. The noodles are all handed pulled. You can see them making the noodles through the kitchen window. The Zha Jiang noodles was good but the portion was very small. We would probably skip the the Crispy Mo Flatbread as well. It tasted like croutons with spicy powder sprinkled on top. Since this place is new, I hope the one thing they do fix is their service. The waiters/waitress seem a bit uncoordinated at the moment. And why do they give you tiny plastic spoons for the noodles instead of regular soup spoons??? read more
