House made pickles (kim chi)
Alan H.

Bookmarked this a long time ago and finally had a chance to come try this - it was definitely worth the drive and regret not coming sooner! Have been looking for some amazing authentic Chinese food and haven't found that in the Nashville area yet, although there are some places that are adequate to calm the craving. Even though there's some Americanized dishes here (e.g. orange chicken, lo mein), I came for the hand pulled noodles and they did not disappoint! The beef noodle soup was flavorful, perfectly spicy for me (I got "spicy"), with extra chili sauce on the table if needed. The beef was tender, noodles were fresh, springy, and perfectly chewy, and the broth was delicious. Tea egg was as expected, a slightly flavored hard boiled egg - not sure if it's worth $1.99. Overall, will return just for the beef noodle soup! Also had their house made pickles, which was kim chi (really good although slightly salty), orange chicken with fried rice (chicken was definitely better than Panda, but it better be for $18.99; included fried rice was not that exciting but good enough as it was free), xiao long bao (soup dumplings, solid filling but wrapped was a little chewy). The wonton chips and duck sauce was a clever play on chips and salsa, and a fun way to wait for food. Love that this place exists and I'll be making the trek from Nashville often!

麻婆豆腐 Mapo Tofu

Very fresh food, service was great and the food came out so quickly once we placed the order. The restaurant is very clean and has a very cute store next door with all sorts of succulents, artwork, vases, and treats. The Mapo Tofu was warming and served perfectly with rice. The Egg Drop Soup was creamy and not heavy on the salt. The You Po Noodle was really good, but as a heads up, this dish is served cold which we did not expect! We ate it up all the same! We also ordered the Lanzhou Traditional Beef Soup Noodles! The broth was so comforting and had such a depth of flavor, the meat was so tender, and the noodles were really special. We will definitely be coming back and will recommend this place to our friends and family!

Lunch with my sweetie

So happy this business opened in Murfreesboro, it looks like the ramen/noodle movement is building momentum with Hokkaido, Golden Lanzhou and others of the same cuisine making debuts here. The restaurant is nondescript and you will need to actually enter the parking lot to see it. The interior is comfortable, the greeting friendly. Depending on the day and time, there may be a short wait. I have tried almost all of the appetizers and they are unique and tasty. There is a good selection of noodle dishes, both with soup and dry. The servings are filling, the taste is mild except for the spicy dishes, which are also tasty but understand the heat is not direct and it actually feels like my mouth is tingling from the heat, which is different than, for example, heat from jalapeno or other peppers. Will continue to support this restaurant because I love this food!

The food was good and clean! This place works with a tablet and the service was fast. The store is medium and really cute. Overall a nice spot for a date/chill spot.

This place is an absolute treat! I went here when they first opened, and many times after. Had some honest reviews the first time and they took it to heart and made changes. I've had practically everything on the menu and it's all incredible! I can't hype this place up enough! It's all about the fresh hand pulled noodles. Really makes a difference. Staff were all super nice, helpful, and frequently were around for anything you needed. It's a bit of a drive to get to for me but always worth it.

Chinese Hamburger
Dylan P.

We heard about this place when it first opened but didn't really feel the need to rush over to try it. I can probably admit the mistake now because we loved Golden Lanzhou bowls. Place is tucked away in a run down plaza and really is out of place. You can tell they really want to stick to their roots of authentic Chinese food. We tried the cucumber appetizer, potato appetizer, Chinese hamburger and the noodle bowl. All very good and I feel like you can't go wrong with most things on the menu. Only downside is your going to spend a decent amount of money here, I don't want to say they are overpriced because your going to get good food, just going to pay the "good food" price especially in a place like Murfreesboro. (Also they give you a lot of food) Excited to go back and try the other things on the menu.

Gyoza
Cherelle J.

We went for lunch . Ordered the beef soup, gyoza, vegetable chow mein. Everything was good my soup didn't have any flavor though but it was ok. The chow mein was delicious and the vegetable was good gyoza. I'd return to try other things.

Pork pan fried dumpling
Thommy S.

Finally got the chance to try this place yesterday and I thought it was pretty neat. We got here around lunch time on a weekend and it was pretty packed, but we got seated right away and the tech time was pretty awesome for how packed they were. I started off with one of those canned drinks. It was called coco palm. I'm not quite sure what it was, but I thought it was pretty good. Their pork pan fried dumplings were pretty alright here, too. I thought it was fried perfectly and the sauce was pretty good. My favorite thing I tried here was the Chinese hamburger. I tried the beef one and I really liked it a lot. The bun was my favorite thing about it. The bun was cooked perfectly. It was soft and flaky. I've never had it before and I honestly don't think you can get this anywhere in this town, so definitely a must try. As far as the beef soup goes. The noodles are made fresh and they're really soft. The beef itself was pretty tender. If you've never had fresh noodles, definitely a must try. It's hard to eat at places that do fresh noodles these days. In all, I didn't have a bad experience and will probably be back.

Beef soup
Leslie R.

Me and my husband really enjoyed this place! I love how they give you wonton strips with the sauce, so good! I got the Chinese burger and my husband got the beef soup. The soup was plentiful, I ordered the cucumber appetizer as a side and it filled me up. The service is great. Can't wait to come back!

I've been wanting to try Golden Lanzhou since they opened and finally gave it a try today. I had very high expectations since I've heard so many good things about this restaurant. Come to say it's just average. I wanted to try one of their signature soup bowls but I didn't because the temperature of the restaurant was just not comfortable, it was a little humid. I tried xiao long bao, I was really hoping for soup dumplings as my little one loves them but they're just regular steam buns. The protein and bread ratio was a bit off. Too much dough not enough filling. I tried two of the Chinese hamburgers, the regular one was nothing fancy, very little protein with tons of raw onions, way too much onions to be honest and I like onions. All I tasted was onions with flaky pastry puff. The house special beef hamburger on the other hand was really good! Probably the only thing I enjoyed there. It was sweet and very saucy. Super flavorful. I would order this again. Chow mein noodles. It looked good and very promising but I did not care to it much. The noodles are too doughy. It's not as consistent which I understand since their noodles are hand pulled. There were some thick noodles, personally some of the noodles were way too doughy and had that dough taste. Just too heavy for my liking. The woodear and onions was ok. It was different. But it was good. Just not good enough for me to order again. The Korean corndog was for my son, he loves Korean corn dogs, except he did not enjoy the Mayo that was on it. I think they should specify on the menu since not everyone loves condiments like that. I really wanted to try the other dumplings thinking they were made in-house. The server said they were made in-house but I saw a guy taking dumplings out of a store bought bag and coking them. Was a little disappointing. Since they hand pull their own noodles. I was there if they would make their own dumplings from scratch too. That was not the case. Their chili oil could use some heat as there was no heat to it at all. I like the Szechuan peppercorn taste which was nice! I don't think I'm in a hurry to come back but it's nice there's a pulled noodle restaurant in the area. Perhaps I'll come back when they open the K&S supermarket.

Steam pork dumplings
Soukny T.

Visited June 26, 2024. The time my party of 4 came in, the restaurant had 3 parties of two come in after us, while other parties of two were finishing up their food. The interior setting had plenty of tables accommodating parties up to 6. Any larger will require putting some tables together. The atmosphere and decor reflects Asian elements with a viewing window that allows customers to see their food being prepared. We were immediately provided water but then it seemed like there was a miscommunication between the servers so our order was taken after the other parties. We had to wave a server down to let them know we are ready to order. Other than servers being polite, the service was below par. I will be coming back and hoping for better service because honestly the food was a 9/10. Cons: from the time of ordering it took 40 minutes for the food to come out. The food runner had no idea what food the dishes were other than it being beef noodles. The combo came with extra items which were forgotten about and had to be mentioned. And one side of dumplings came out at the end of our meal (1 hour later) rather than the beginning. Pros: You can taste the quality of the hand pulled noodles. There's plenty of free parking. Also a decent drink selection of canned drinks and bottled beer.

Returning trip! I'm still loving it just as good as the first time I came. Trying the combo out and it's a great deal!

Chicken Curry
Tracie D.

Stopped into this wonderful restaurant again with a friend. We were out picking up my prescriptions at Kroger (I had unfortunately been in the hospital at TriStar Centennial where they saved my life, A huge Thank You to everyone that helped in my care) My friend was like "I want comfort food"... Her exact words "Pasta, Pho, Noodles" I said well there is an amazing place across the street from Kroger... I said they have noodles, soup and curry. We were there at lunch time and the service was amazing. We didn't have to wait to be seated, they brought us our menus and a glass of water with lemon. They gave us a few moments to look over the menu and came to take our order. The picture is of the Chicken Curry. It was amazing. It was served with rice. My friend got the same thing as well. She exclaimed that this was the best curry that she has ever had. She said even though we live an hour away (I live 45 minutes away) she said that we will definitely return. I said awesome because there are more items on the menu that I want to try. Considering we went in for noodles and ended up with a curry... A quiet restaurant that you can sit and talk to friends. Definitely worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Ok, let's face it. It's been rough going with all this COVID burden and working from home…read more Perfect time to be a little lazy and get some food delivered, in my honest opinion. So, hubby and I chose MJ's on Monday night. I was not expecting a lot, really. Holy Moly did MJ's deliver!!! We both got the MJ's burger. What a large burger!! Perfectly cooked and fresh tasty toppings!! The burger wasn't soggy, either! The fries were crisp, warm, and fresh! The way they seal and package for delivery keeps things warm! Even the salad was tasty and fresh. Husband's only complaint was that he would rather have Ranch dressing with the potato skins over just sour cream, but it is just his personal preference. But the one dish that sold the place for us was the BBQ pork and mac 'n cheese!! We got it to share out of curiosity and we do not regret it! The mac 'n cheese has perfect cheesy flavour in a creamy beschamel sauce! A generous portion of fresh BBQ pork is layered on top and packs in a flavour punch sure to delight you!! Awesome dish!! Now that we have had the remote dining experience, we look forward to going in person! With food that good, you gotta go for the full monty!! Kudos to MJ's for a wonderful meal!!

Came in for a beer early afternoon. Only person of 5 patrons. Had to ask the bartender Victoria for…read morea water twice but never got it. The other blonde bartender was just sitting around talking to the owner and his buddy - made eye contact a couple times but wouldn't acknowledge my presence. Finally after the 4x asking I received my water. Owner walked up and asked her how much revenue so far today and she said 362.90. They opened at 11, it's 5p by this time. 6 hours, two bartenders and 1 chef. Now the semi-good part, ordered 3 beers and the tab came to 4.50. Pretty sweet so I ended up tipping 15.50. Had to use the restroom, got up and apparently they thought I was leaving and one of the 3 girls sitting around doing nothing said thank god he's gone. It was weird. One of the other workers was talking about giving her brother and his 16 year old friends alcohol and they cheered her on. It was just weird all around. The place could use a heavy cleaning instead of bunch of lazy 22 y/o. No beef with the owner, I just think he should weigh more heavily on the ability to do the job rather than tight clothes and shitty attitudes with no patron awareness. This place needs bar rescue.
