Lamb skewers
Ashley J.

Super super yummy. As an avid beef noodle soup fan, I was impressed. I ordered the signature Lanzhou beef noodles, braised beef noodles, and lamb skewers. The signature noodles were made perfectly, it came with thinly sliced beef which I loved and the broth had a lot of chili oil. You can pick what type of noodles you want, I prefer thin noodles and it complimented the broth. The skewers were spicy but still cooked to perfection. Service was nice, even though it was just two of us, we sat in a big booth. Place was spacious, good service, clean bathrooms. Definitely returning!

The service was not the standard expected for a sit down restaurant. We did get hot tea as soon as we sat, but they didn't give us plates for appetizers. When asked, just the person asking got one. The birthday cake we brought after calling and asking if it's okay to have it at the restaurant was brought to the table in the bag and box. No effort was made to make it serviceable so we decided to just leave and have it at home. The parking lot in the back was full so that was worthless. The food was meh. We ordered chicken wings, eggplant salad, mung bean noodle salad, various BBQ skewers, various noodles, pork burger and lamb burgers. We had 13 people so lots of different things ordered since it was our first time trying. I don't think I'll go back. Despite our reservation, they asked if we wanted two booth in the back. We waited to get a long row of tables put together up front. It was not too noisy so we were able to have conversations.

N1. Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodles
Jennifer M.

Dunhuang has been on my list of beef noodle soup spots to try for years. It's been so long that they even moved locations down 37th Ave towards Main Street. I finally decided to go on a Friday night and was glad there was no wait. The restaurant seemed like a fast casual spot but there were still waiters taking orders. We ordered the N1 Signature Lanzhou beef noodles, N6 Chongqing noodles, G2 Dry pot pork intestines, and H1 Spicy cumin lamb burger. Both the noodles came out very quickly. The Lanzhou noodles looked promising with chunks of beef and toppings. The broth was very simple and quite plain in my opinion. The noodles were abundant but a bit overcooked. The Chongqing noodles didn't look very appealing with only a couple of bok choy as toppings. I wished they allowed us to add some beef for an additional cost but didn't see that option. The flavors were stronger than the signature noodles and similar to malatang, but not as salty. The noodles for this was cooked perfectly and had a great bounce. However, the dish as a whole just lacked substance and could have used more ingredients. The spicy lamb burger came next and it was decently filled. The breading was doughy and the seasoning was not memorable. For $6 I could find a better and tastier lamb burger. Lastly came the dry pot pork intestines. It was a pretty large entree filled with pork intestines and vegetables. The flavors were good but my main issue with this dish was the texture of the pork intestines. I believe they were deep fried prior to stir frying in hot oil, but instead of crispy, it was gummy-like and I did not appreciate it. Overall, we were quite disappointed and unsatisfied with this meal.

Their combo for $15 is very filling. It comes with a giant bowl of noodle soup, picked cabbage side and a can drink. I also tried their lamb skewers which were delicious. I didn't think they were spicy, they were flavorful with cumin and other spices but not hot spicy. Service was very friendly and efficient. There's plenty of seating.

Food was so good. Place was clean and pretty. Service was great! Fair prices. 10/10! Very enjoyable and worth returning

I was pleasantly surprised by this noodle shop. I had the featured beef noodle soup and it's everything you would imagine with a good beef noodle soup. Even the skewers were good, esp the chicken skin and chicken heart. The lamb were kind of dry, I wouldn't get it again.

Entree menu

Came here for dinner with my brother and a friend. Got a nice booth off to the side. Great prices for everything. Ordered the chicken and the Beef Tendon skewers. Luckily my friend reads Chinese bc the skewer menu is in Chinese. The skewers were great, Chicken very tender. I ordered the signature Lanzhou Beef Noodles. They messed up my order by giving me regular noodles when I had ordered Wide Noodles. Was expecting the dish to be spicier but it was still very delicious. My brother ordered the Zha Jiang noodles and my friend ordered the Beef Noodle with Pickled Mustard. We all devoured our dishes. Definately will be back to try the other dishes.

Braised beef noodle soup
Mimee S.

I've been here a few times already and I can say the noodles here are excellent. I like that you can order your noodles based on types. ie regular, thick, wide, extra wide. Noodles are freshly made and super long. Ask for a pair of scissors to cut! My kids favorite is the original lanzhou beef noodles with regular noodles. The Liang pi was good the first time I had it but I wish it had more gulten. Tomato egg noodles- this was ok if you like that starchy taste Zha jiang noodles- this was my favorite. Very flavorful. I also like that food comes out super fast. There's chilli oil on the table but it is not spicy at all. Another plus is that there's a small parking lot which is hard to come by in Flushing.

Intestine hotpot
Roger H.

Came here due to the rave yelp reviews, and was in the mood for soup noodles for some reason that day. Was initially excited since a highly rated Chinese soup noodle spot is relatively rare and was initially impressed by the clean decor, but unfortunately the food here disappointed big time. I ordered the signature lan Zhou beef noodle, the chong ching noodle and the intestine hotpot. The best dish of the night was the chong ching noodle as it had a nice chilli oil flavor, however the dish was overall very bland, came topped with bok choi only and did not have any proteins. The intestine tasted bizarrely sweet, was not a big fan of that. The signature lanzhou noodle is one of the blandest soup noodles ive ever tasted, it might as well been a soup noodle with red food coloring since the dish had absolutely no flavor. Probably one of the blandest noodles ive ever had packaged in an elegant and clean setting, either way I won't be back since, for me, food quality always supersedes setting

Lamb Skewers
Joanna M.

Dunhuang should change their name to highlight their skewers because their skewers were the highlight of the meal. But the noodles are cool too. Ambiance is casual but nice, our party of four was seated in a comfortable booth and the service was quick. We ordered the lamb skewers, three signature Lanzhou Beef noodles and an order Chongqing Spicy cold noodles. The skewers came out piping hot and were well seasoned, juicy, and tender. The Lanzhou Beef Noodles are decent and easily elevated by the chili oil and vinegar that they provide at each table. Sadly no matter how much chili oil you add, you don't really get the hit of spice you're looking for. They don't give a lot of protein either but for 11 dollars it is what it is. The Chongqing cold noodles were sadly not that flavorful but the noodle texture was better than the ones For a quick and affordable meal I would come to Dunhuang. But I don't think I would come for the noodles. Maybe I'll try one of the other locations to compare and contrast.

Life is short. F.....it up! Family, Flavor, Friends. While in NYC over the weekend was looking for summer beef noodle soup. There place had good reviews. Walking in I noticed they had a skewer kart in the front. But it was part of the menu..great idea. We got there beef noodle soup and Dan Dan noodles. There noodles were nicer and chewy. The soup was very beefy and refined but a touch of nutty hot chili oil and you're having as good day. The DanDan was I lil bland add some salt and it kicked the savory scale up a notch. If you're in the area looking for hot soup and noodles check it out.

Front of the menu
Angela L.

Inside the restaurant is clean and spacious. When I walked in they said I could sit anywhere. They asked if I wanted water or tea and handed me a menu. I ordered the braised beef noodles. The food arrived in ten minutes. The bowl was huge. I tried the soup first. It was a little salty and not too spicy. The noodles were handmade and it shows. They were springy and had a good chew. There were lots of pieces of beef. It's not the best quality of beef, full of tendon and gristle but it had strong beef flavor. I like the bok choi which added a different texture to the dish. I was impressed by the meal.

Egg and Tomato and Egg Noodles
Christopher W.

The noodles... the texture is amazing and has a great flavor to them. You can sometimes hear from the sitting area that the noodles are being handmade. The soups you can order with them work incredibly well and coat the noodles with every bite. I highly recommend you go there with at least another person so you can share a bowl of noodles and order the lamb skewers and lamb "burger/sandwich". Service was great and has plenty of seating area.

Is the Lanzhou noodle soup halal?

Has anyone seen their NYC inspection letter grade? I enjoyed the last time I went there, but everytime I walk past there I never see a grade up so I have reservations about going back.

Good question. Due to health department system processing problem, our license renewal is still pending, no grade will be issued on this occasion. This is rare. But that’s the answer we got so far. Hope this could be resolved sooner. No matter how… Read more

Do they have the supper size of ramen bowl at this location which the upper west side location does?

Yes, they do. Could you please call them one hour before you go to make reservations. The phone number is (646) 476-4549. They open from 11:30am to 9:45pm. Thank you!

Is this place byob?

Don't think so. They have beer.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

Whether you speak Spanish or Cantonese, the waiters here can help get you whatever dish your heart…read moredesires. It's amazing to step into this restaurant, it's like stepping into another world where anything is possible. I feel like home whenever I come here. My favorable dishes are the combo dishes because I can choose fried rice or noodles or French fries with a meat usually, Yummylicious to the core!

The menu here is split into two sections, classic American Chinese take out and Sichuan cooking…read more Seems to be a fairly popular take out spot, as they were fulfilling many delivery orders while I was there, but the interior is comfortable and elegantly decorated unlike a standard take out only spot. I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.

Food is good, quiet and clean…read more Service is impeccable. My fiance and I drink water like fish. Our glasses were never empty. Warning to all with a pineapple allergy like me: do not eat the duck sauce. If you like spicy ask for hot mustard instead. Orange chicken was crispy and flavorful. I did not find it spicy, but my spice tolerance is very high. My fiance had the chicken with broccoli and it looked amazing. Try the cold noodles. They are chewy and delicious. For me the fried dumplings were good, but not great. Worth a try but nothing to rave over.
