I tried the Numbing Spicy Minced Pork Noodles yesterday, and they were delicious. I went with their widest noodle option, and the noodles were thick, chewy, and bouncy. The minced pork sauce clung onto them really really well. The minced pork had a nice balance of sweet and savory, although it leaned towards a little sweeter than I personally prefer. But it wasn't a problem at all, since I was able to adjust the flavor to make it more savory by using the Chicken Granules, Cumin, Chili Oil, and White Pepper condiments. Overall, it was a very satisfying dish! We also tried their new shaved ice dessert. It wasn't like the Hawaiian style shaved ice which is based on frozen water, but more like Korean style Bingsoo with a milky shaved ice base. The flavor and texture were both good, but I thought it was missing the toppings. It relied solely on syrup, and I think it would've been much better with fresh fruit or other toppings to add more flavor. It was $5.99 per order as of July 2026.
For dine in, we ordered 2 Lan Zhou beef noodle soups with small flat noodles, chili oil wonton, and soup dumplings. To go, we ordered 2 braised pork pita burgers and 1 chili oil noodles. The small flat noodles were a bit thicker than I would have liked and the soup needed a little more flavor. The chili oil wonton were saltier than I would've liked but the dough had a good consistency. The soup dumplings were ok. 1 braised pork dumpling had a much stronger star anise flavor which was overbearing while the other was perfect. I was actually hoping for the pita part to be more like the style that has crispy layers but it was filling. The chili oil flat noodles were OK. Overall, I've had better hand pulled noodles and I prefer beef broth soup that has a more richer flavor.
Came here for lunch with my husband on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was pretty empty since it was after the lunch hour rush. We sat down and ordered our usuals. He got the beef bone thick noodle soup, and I got the braised beef noodle soup. The food came quickly and was hot. This is our go-to place whenever we crave for beef noodle soups. The food quality has stayed consistent over the years and service this time was very quick. The restaurant was clean and staff friendly. I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for beef noodle soups!
There was a small fly in my friend's noodle dish, but we didn't make a big deal out of it. Everyone still enjoyed the meal overall. I believe our friends got the noodles with lamb, I had the signature, and my husband had the one with chili oil. I remember liking the chili oil one, so maybe that'll be my next dish to try. We've been here a handful of times now!
Swung by after dinner bc bf had a hankering for noodles. EXCELLENT CHOICE ('-') We walked in on a weekday evening and were seated immediately. Quaint, clean shop with welcoming staff. CHILI OIL WITH FLAT NOODLES (with tea egg): This sauce is like crack to me LOL. Technically my partner ordered this... And let me try a bite... But it ended up with me eating half :D And the flat noodles are delightfully QQ. So perfectly spicy and savory. I even dabbed some of the oil on my own dish for extra flavor CHICKEN CHOW MEIN: Standard chicken chow mein. Good ratio of chicken to noodles to cabbage. A bit on the oily side, but that's to be expected. Huge portions. We both ended up taking some boxes to go. Need to try their Beef Bone Noodles next time...!
Door dashed this after a meet up with friends and it was delicious :) Braised beef and potatoes: 9/10 omg the beef was so so tender, potatoes were perfectly cooked with bell peppers, onions and herbs. Sauce was a tad oily but so so flavorful. Would definitely get it again! Pork steamed buns: 8/10, not what I expected, i thought it'd be a red marinated pork but it was more of a seasoned meat ball in a bun. I didn't hate it and it paired well with the sauce of the braised beef :) Signature spicy wonton: 9/10, different for sure. I was expected more chili chucks but the oil itself was different from what I've had before. Love that they packed the wontons and oil separate for me to pair at home. Honestly, I'd come back and dine in. I saw things on Yelp that weren't options on Door Dash. All my dishes felt different from other places I've been with similar menu items. Would love to come here again, service was quick and interior was pleasant ^_^
The food is delicious. The noodles were so tasty. The spicy pork sandwich was very flavorful. The bread was incredibly fresh and crusty and crunchy outside and soft and doughy inside. The meat filling was overflowing. The pork XLB was OK, I'd skip that. The beancurd and celery appetizer was refreshing and light. It was really good and well balanced with the rest of the food, which was very strong.
You will always be on 10-15 min wait. Do not get the fried calamari. It's over cooked, dry with a burnt flavor. I would also not get the spicy big plate chicken over flat noodle. It's very gene rot with chunks of chicken thigh but chintzy on the noodle. It's not dry. It has copious amounts of loose sauce that is so spicy it will numb your tongue. The winners are mixed celery with beancurd, and the braised pork pita burger.
First time at the Concord location of Impression of Lanzhou and let me tell you, I can see why there's a line out the door at the Berkeley location which I'm closer to. Never tried it in Berkeley as it is packed with students so came to the Concord location with my friend. We were quickly seated and asked if we wanted to use the QR code on the table to order or paper menus. We went with the paper menus and there's quite a bit being offered. My friend decided on the cumin lamb fried rice and I opted for their signature beef bone noodle soup. You can decide the noodle thickness (4 different options including flat wide noodles) which I thought was cool. I opted for the thick noodles. We decided to share an order of the pork and shrimp xiao long bao (XLB) as well. The lamb fried rice came out first and it smelled so good! Shortly after my hand pulled noodle soup came out with two large bone pieces with a good amount of meat on them. I gave my friend a small bowl of the noodle soup and one of the bones with meat to try and I took some of her cumin lamb fried rice. She tried the noodle soup first and we both commented on how the server was correct in saying the thick noodles were chewy. Just the way I liked it. The soup, noodles and bone were all very flavorful and the combination of the noodle, beef, daikon and green onions was spot on. My friend jokingly said she wondered if they'd give her a to go box for the bones to make broth with. The cumin lamb fried rice also didn't disappointment. Many pieces of flavorful lamb and the cumin definitely was a standout. The portion size was also solid! While we were digging into our dishes, the XLB came. These are standouts. I would've wanted another small plate with ginger so my friend and I could have our own plates but I opted to use my bone plate for the XLB vinegar they had on the table. The XLB were juicy and had a good amount of filling. The only thick part of the wrapper was the top but that was to be expected in how it was constructed. With all that soup, the wrapper was probably the right thickness to hold it all in without being potsticker thick. There were so many tables and I liked that they were spread out so people could have their space. There is parking and though the shared lot for this large strip mall seems full, many people are always leaving because of the Ranch 99 shoppers. I'll definitely be back!
Got my yaba daba doo... internal Fred Florine out here with great homemade noodles. These rib bones are intense, tender and flavorful. Wish the soup would be spiced like a Taiwan version. Clearly Lanzhou is different. Noodles were al dente and stick to your bones for sure. Favorite place in Concord area.
I was craving Lanzhou noodles, and had this place bookmarked for a while to try, so I suggested going here for lunch with my mom last week. We went on a Friday around 11:30. It wasn't that busy when we got there, so plenty of seats available. My mom and I both got the oil spill noodles. I added beef bone and tea egg, and my mom added chicken and tea egg. At the regular spiciness level, I didn't think it was spicy at all. I think I might kick it up a notch next time. The noodles were good, and the overall taste was pretty good, but I have had better. The beef bone was cooked in broth, and was tender and tasty. I definitely need to try the noodle soup next time. You can choose different noodle size, but the default for the oil spill noodles is the wide noodles. The service was quick and attentive. We also got an order of xiao long bao (pork soup dumplings), but I forgot to take a picture. The dumplings were flavorful, and a good amount of broth inside. Overall, if you like noodles. I would recommend the place. I'll definitely go back to try more items.
Legit noodle spot (among other items on their menu) located in a busy strip mall in Concord that includes lots of other eateries and at least one coffee shop. When you order a noodle dish, they have a few noodle options including hand pulled and varying widths, etc. The place felt like a cozy mom and pop type cafe with cool design along the wall. Ordering was pretty simple. It was cold and rainy outside so my niece, nephew, and I all ordered variations of the beef noodle soup. I got the beef noodle soup with pickled cabbage for a bit of acidity to blend with the savory rich beef noodles. The soup and noodles here are very tasty. Not much different if at all from many of the noodle soup places I've eaten at in the SGV area in SoCal. We almost ordered some soup dumplings as well...but ultimately decided the large bowls of noodle soups were more than enough for us (maybe next time!) If you're craving some authentic, delicious noodles/ soup/ dumplings. This place for sure scratches that itch. Seems like plenty of parking with its own lot, but with these places, they can get really busy.
I was disappointed that I had limited items to order from because I do not eat pork, nor beef. The Cucumber in Garlic Sauce appetizer was too garlicky for me. The Egg and Chive Dumplings were good but I would have preferred the chives minced, not chopped. I liked the Chicken Chow Mein with thick round noodles. And I finished my meal with a mango sweet, refreshing handcrafted shaved ice.

Service was excellent. Food was good because not too salty. Clean store and simple ambiance. The Beef Fried Rice was actually very good. Pork Ribs Noodles was flavorable yet not overpowering. Chicken Wings were very good. Will come again for it. read more

No wait for a late lunch on Saturday. And was able to find parking easily. Been a couple of months since we went. Enjoyed everything. My son loved the cucumbers. Nice going with more people so you can try multiple dishes. read more
We visited Impression of Lanzhou on a Sunday evening around 730pm. There was no wait and we walked right in. The supermajority of folks eating in were Asian, so locals like it. You order using a QR code and pay at the end at the cashier. Prices were decent. A bowl of freshly made noodles was around 15 to 16 dollars. It was a large bowl of noodles! We appreciated they provided the table with a pair of scissors (those noodles were really long!) Staff was friendly and got our orders to us really quickly. read more

The best hand pulled noodles in the area! I had the pickled cabbage beef noodle soup because I was craving something sour and it hit the spot! I ordered it with the small flat noodles and they were perfectly cooked and bouncy. My parents had the spicy beef noodle soup and it wasn't spicy at all and could use a bit more flavor. The beef is sometimes a hit or miss in that soup and can be a little tough. We also ordered the XLBs and they had really good flavor! The skin was just a little bit thicker than other places I've been today. A solid place to go to when you're craving noodles or noodle soup and I definitely will be coming back again. Service is great and they're attentive, tea is free, and parking is plentiful! read more

The best in the area for sure, there is now also another location in Berkeley. You can choose from 5 different types of noodles for each and there is a whole array of different flavors of either dry mix or soup noodles for your enjoyment. I have been quite a few times at this point and each time it did not disappoint. The appetizers are also great, we particularly like the pig ear and mixed cucumber and black fungi. If you haven't been, definitely give it a go. read more

After wishing for hand pulled noodles to become available near me for the longest, Impression of Lanzhou has delivered me my dreams in the form of Tomato Scrambled noodles and wontons with spicy chili oil. Have been here on multiple occasions, and leave satisfied (and sometimes overly full), every single time. This visit was no exception. Ordering is made easy through a QR code that you scan at your table. You can order more food as you go using the page it directs you to, as well as pay so there's no need to wave down a server for the check. After we ordered, our food came out rather quickly since our appetizers were just salad (maybe 15 mins). And then our main dishes came shortly after. It was my best friend's first time here, so we got a little excited when we ordered. This is what we got: Shredded potato salad (3.5/5) - this dish had an interesting texture. The potatoes are raw so they have a crisp bite to them. The seasoning they used seemed pretty standard, a soy and sesame based sauce. Fun to try something new! Mixed celery with bean curd (4/5) - this had a similar taste to the potato salad but a little more bland. I think what sold us more on it, though, was the texture of the bean curd was so satisfying to eat! So we definitely liked this a bit more than the potatoes. Pickled pepper with black fungus (5/5) - this was our favorite of the appetizers we had! This had texture, tanginess, and was delightfully spicy! If you get any appetizer, get this one! Signature spicy wonton (5/5) - I don't think you could ever go wrong with wontons in chili oil. We absolutely smashed these, they were so good! Spicy and umami in all the best ways. Also a must order! Tomato scrambled noodles (5/5) - if you're a fan of tomato egg, then this is the noodle dish for you. It's that same comforting dish but with the added chewiness and QQ of a thick noodle paired with it. We also demolished this whole thing! The noodle pulls on this dish go crazyyyyy. Definitely a fun-to-eat dish! read more

Delicious beef noodle soups thus far. Broth is drinkable and not totally unbalanced or overseasoned (a bit oily, but this is usual I believe). The noodles def taste fresh which is also very much appreciated. We had the braised beef noodle one time and when we selected "less spicy", it actually was adjusted to a very tolerable level. We weren't sure what each noodle type was when ordering through DoorDash, so snapped a photo during pickup that was on the counter. read more
My parents have been trying to bring us to Impression of Lanzhou since they discovered it a few months ago. This little spot offers a variety of appetizers, rice combos and their special hand stretched noodles. Their menu is pretty simple, pick a noodle soup (if that's what you're there for) and a noodle size. Three of us got the Signature Beef Broth noodle soup while my husband tried the Braised Beef Noodle Soup. Both were really good but if you are looking for a little more umph and flavor go for the Braised Beef as the signature if mainly beef broth with hints of star anise, green onion and cilantro similar to pho. The noodle portions are generous and check out the two huge beef ribs that come with their signature soup. My husband really enjoyed the Braised Beef. He noted there was a lot of flavor and meat was tender. In addition to our noodles, we got the pork and chives dumpling and spicy pig ears. Both worth trying. The dumplings are not to doughy, delicious and filled with soup and meat. They come out steaming hot so be careful not to burn your mouth with the soup insider. The spicy pig ears were thinly sliced and marinated in their spicy sauce and jalapenos. They were not overly spicy, crunchy and easy to eat. I convinced my 9-year-old to give it a try and he ended up liking it. Overall, Impression of Lanzhou made an impression. Great soups and appetizers for comfort on a cold rainy day or any day! read more
I was excited to try this place out since good hand-pulled noodles are hard to find in the area. The bone in noodle soup is definitely the highlight. The broth is rich and the noodles have that perfect chewy texture you can only get when they are made fresh. The seaweed salad had a surprising spicy kick to it, which was a nice change from the usual sweet Japanese style. The tofu skin dish was just okay, a bit on the bland side compared to the rest of the meal. One gripe is the parking lot can be a headache during peak hours, so try to go during off-hours. Overall, solid Northern Chinese food. read more
This place is jaw dropping delicious! I got the lanzhou beef noodle soup and added a side of braised beef and extra noodles. I was not ready to be served an entire whole bowl of extra noodles and broth! First off, the broth, was amazing. I don't know how they made it, but it was near perfection. The noodles were super al dente and chewy, yet soft. The beef was super tender. The portions were insane! I almost didn't finish my extra noodles! The broth touched a next level element of savory-ness that I actually still vividly remember to this day. All in all, such a solid spot for noodles and dumplings. I also got the pork soup dumplings and the juices that came out of it I wanted to bathe in. It was oh so good that I can't stop thinking about it! read more

Overall the food was meh. Our favorite item were the crispy chicken wings and cucumber in garlic sauce. The chicken wings were super crispy and flavorful on the outside yet the meat was super juicy! Cucumber in garlic sauce was refreshing. Pork XLB - pork was a bit dry. Although there was soup inside, felt like there wasn't enough and soup itself was a tad bit bland Beef noodle soup - disappointing. Beef was dry and soup looked flavorful but was lacking. read more

A solid restaurant. Everything we got was good, better than expected. Spicy pig ears 4/5 ($9.99) Signature bone in beef noodles 5/5 ($14.99) Pork and chives dumpings 4/5 ($13.99) Numbing spicy minced pork noodles 5/5 ($13.99) Fried chicken wings 5/5 ($8,99) My personal favorites are the noodle dishes. The signature beef noodle soup looks light in color but has great flavors. The minced pork noodles has a nice level of numbing- it doesn't burn your mouth painfully. The portion is pretty fair, we had a decent amount of leftovers. Service is standard for Asian restaurants. read more

The egg chow mein is very good with a lot of flavor and wok hay. It comes in generous portions. The only problem I had was that I ordered chicken chow mein not egg chow mein. I was going to complain that there was almost no chicken until we discovered they had given me egg chow mein. The server got my order wrong along with my friend's. The food was good but the service left something to be desired because they got 2 of our 4 orders wrong and we asked for separate checks and they gave us one check. After we pointed that out the server rang us up separately. I would go again but we will order using the QR code on the table. read more
What a wonderful surprise. The restaurant doesn't look large from the outside but has plenty of seating inside. The noodles are long and tasty, probably the longest noodles I've ever eaten at a Chinese restaurant. I got the dry spicy noodles with bok choy. Not as spicy as it looks. Very yummy. We got two soup dumplings and one fried dumpling and one order of chicken wings. The dumplings were great. The XLB was a very edible temperature, not like lava at other restaurants. Chicken wings were solid. Service is very fast, all the ordering is done through a QR code menu. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. The soup was great and so we're the dumplings. We had the beef bone soup and braised beef soup. The braised beef had a better flavor but both were great. Fresh made noodles! Service was fast too. read more
I decided to take my mom out for dinner here since my first time was amazing! Made reservations for 630pm and thank God I did because it was busy! We were seated within a few minutes after checking in. I ordered the same thing as last time, braised beef noodles and spicy wonton. My mom had the braised pork noodles and pork baos. The food was amazing and my mom enjoyed it. We were hella full even though we didn't finish our meals. I knew we should have shared the noodles because the portions were pretty big. I really like how everything was made fresh! Noodles and baos. The pork baos took about 15 mins or so only because they had to make a new batch. By the time it was bought to us, we were already full from the noodles. Our waitress was very nice and made sure we knew it would take a while. She came in to check on us while we waited. I appreciated that! read more

Food: - The XLBs and the fried chicken wings were my favorites - very good! The cold cucumbers were also delicious. The noodles and dumplings were decent, but in my opinion less flavorful. I also prefer a less doughy texture for both. To be fair, I got the thick round noodles for my short rib soup noodles and I probably should have gone thinner. Service: - Very friendly and accommodating. We came with a group of 10, including 4 young kids, and they were very understanding. Even let us bring / eat a cake without any additional charge. Ambiance: - Pretty spacious and clean, no frills but comfortable. Fairly loud and lots of people talking and enjoying their meals! Price: - Affordable and very reasonable for the food quality and portions! read more

THIS PLACE IS SMACKKKKK ASF 100/10 recommend!! You can order off your phone from your table also loved that and the noodles are so delicious read more
Delicious hand pulled noodles in the east bay! For ordering the noodle soups, choose the broth and desired thickness of noodles. I generally prefer the wide and flat noodles as they give a nice chew. The appetizers and small plates were delicious, recommend the garlic cucumber salad, as well as celery and bean curd. The spicy chicken plate can feed two. Order by QR code or menu.

We love beef soup noodles and so we had to try impression of Lanzhou before our movie at veranda lux. We love that you can choose from so many types of hand made noodles - typically we go for knife cut or thick noodles. The broth was clear and flavorful and we appreciated being able to add some pickled veggies. It's a solid noodles place for sure and we would definitely want to come back and try other foods. read more

Ask the Community - Impression of Lanzhou
Is this cuisine spicy? Pictures shows much of food with some red looking sauce?
Some of the dishes are spicy, but you can also let them know how much heat you want. I ordered the beef soup without spice, and it was delicious.
Are there peanuts in any dishes? We're allergic to them.?
Yes. Some sauces may have peanuts. You need to let host know.
Does the bathroom have a changing table?
Can they make the noodles gluten-free?
I don't think so. The noodles are hand stretched per order. Without gluten it can not be stretched.
Are they ok now with the health department?
what health dept, didn't hear what the health dept is harassing these good ppl about
