    Braised Beef with wide flat noodle
    Jay C.

    I'm not too fond of noodles but was craving for soup and decided to try this place because of their favorable reviews. Customer service was friendly, fast and efficient. I ordered the braised beef (mild), portion was huge and the spicyness was just the right amount. I liked that you can choose the type of noodle and you can really tell it was made fresh. I would definitely go back to try the other items on their menu.

    Good price for combo. The appetizer was a bit disappointing. The noodles are good , they have different cuts of noodles. Service is what it is. They seem short staffed.

    This LAN Noodle location can be found in the same plaza as Tokyo Central, specifically next door to Dunkin Donuts/ Baskin Robbins. I have been to this location before in the past and had ordered the braised beef noodle soup in the past and decided to make a to go order last Sunday night as a last minute birthday dinner for my mother (we had other plans initially but life emergencies called for other plans so I did my best to improvise so that we could still celebrate mom). I decided to get Lan Noodle because I like to hold to the birthday tradition to have noodles on one's birthday. And we were within a reasonable driving distance from where we were at the time so I had my husband make a phone order while I drove over. My husband ended up ordering the following over the phone for pick up: Braised Beef with Wide Flat Noodles, $15.99 prior to tax- My husband remembered that he liked the dish I had ordered previously and so he decided to get this. I appreciate that the noodles were packed separately so that they would not be soggy. My mom really enjoyed this dish and so did my husband. I didn't get a chance to get any since they two of them ate it all. Dan Dan Noodles with Wide Flat Noodles, $14.99 prior to tax- I asked my husband to ordered this dish because I like dan dan noodles. But I felt the sauce and flavors were a little too salty. I ended up mixing this with a little rice to help make it less salty. I liked the wide flat noodles (you can choose the thickness of noodles, such as round, knife cut, etc). Tomato Egg with Rice, $13.99 prior to tax- A favorite among all of us, my husband decided to get this dish. You can order this dish with noodle instead of you prefer but my husband thought it would be good to have variety and went with rice. The tomato eggs dish was good, had the savory and sweet flavors. ------------------------------- (Total= $49.35 after tax) Service was friendly when we came in. Our food was ready upon the time promised. My mom was happy with her early birthday dinner (which is most important). I would definitely come back and would consider dining in the next time with my little girl dog since there are 2 small tables outside.

    Located at the same plaza as Tokyo Central and Fitness19. Parking is easy. Food: Ordered Signature LAN noodle. You can choose different spice level. They make the noodle there on the spot. I really enjoyed the thick noodle. Very fresh and chewy. The broth is not bad. The meat, good thing it is very thinly sliced otherwise it might be very dry. Service: Almost non existing. Had to get my own menu from the counter. Cleanliness: Their dining chairs could use some scrubbing as well as the bathroom. Bathroom: Needs some cleaning too

    BEEF SOUP
    Jane K.

    SOOOO GOOOOD Knives cut thick noodles with the pickled mustard green noodle soup I can come here weekly wow! The crushed cucumber and the pig ear appetizer has a good kick!!! The pear drink is also soooo good My friends got the original braised beef noodle soup and it was very delightful but I love the extra flavor the pickled greens add to the soup. Definitely will be back.

    Hand-pulled noodles? Say no more... i ran faster than a chopstick chasing a dumpling downhill!! We hit up this spot, and let me tell you, the noodle show alone deserves a standing ovation!!! Right there, front and center, they pull those noods like pasta acrobats!! I dove mouth-first into the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (with the wide-flat noodles, because go big or go home). Meanwhile, my son got the Spicy Popcorn Chicken, which turned out to be more "mild pop" than "firecracker," but it was crispy and snackable... like medium-spicy nuggets that went to culinary school. The noodle soup had perfectly spiced broth, beef that actually had flavor, and a portion size that could easily feed a small village or one hangry adult (me)!!! Service: Very attentive, but shy. Restroom: Immaculate and fancy. We got in just before the crowd, so I felt like a foodie ninja... in and out before the chaos. Parking: Plenty of parking in the Tokyo Central lot, so no need to fight for a spot. Overll would definitely be back!! Oh yes!! I love my noodles like I love my comedy, hand-pulled and a little spicy!!!

    It felt good being back here. Haven't had this place in a few years and I realized that's not good and I need to try to do better because there was a lot of great dishes I had to get reacquainted with. Especially their soups. And the weather was calling for it too. I had the lamb soup + their pan fried dumplings. Once more once again it was all very enjoyable.

    Go to spot for hand pulled noodles! It really makes a difference. Note that wide noodles will be pretty filling but texture is quite nice. The dishes here are portioned well, good flavor, and consistent. I prefer this spot to Mian, for example. The dan dan noodles were good, wish there was more minced pork. I might try thinner noodles next time, just a personal preference. And the next day I ate it cold after mixing some water in to soften the noodles and I daresay it tasted even better cold! The lamb "burger" was tasty, though some pieces were a bit chewy and I had to remove a few chunks because of it. The spicy tofu app was fine, I'd probably try other apps next time. Plenty of parking, service was quick.

    Got to-go food today from LAN Noodle. This place is located in the tokyo central plaza and next to baskin robin and dunkin donuts. Plenty of parking spots here. The inside of this place is not that big. Service is decent and does not take too long yo get my food. Ordered the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, comes with sliced beef, small beef chunks, clear beef bone broth, daikon, cilantro, garlic greens, and the wide flat hand pulled noodles. You can pick your own spice level for the noodle. i ordered mild spice and it was kind of spicy for a mild level comparing to other places out there. I also ordered the spicy fried tofu as a side order. The spicy fried tofu is not that spicy as I am someone that can't handle that much spice. Both dishes are decent. For the Lan noodles, the wide flat noodles are huge so if you are someone that enjoys thin noodles, make sure to change your noodle option. They have 8 different kind of noodles but their signature one is the wide flat one. Overall, I would give a 3.5-4 star rating and I round it up to a 4 star based on we need to support small businesses especially if there is nothing bad I can complain about them. Do they have the best food? Not but decent enough for me to order from them next time if I'm craving for noodles.

    I thought this guy was the owner but he could also be another employee. But he does seem really friendly and spoke good English
    Sven T.

    I'm only giving it a 4 stars because the owner reached out to me and apologized for his staff and the pork knuckles that I ordered wasn't what I expected. He explained it to me that is pre made and is in the freezer until the customers orders it then they cook it again. But to me it tasted sour and old looking. The owner also offered me some compensation for the bad service and the food but I declined his offer. I don't want you all to think that I took his offer and give them a better rating because I didn't. Today, the owner said he'll be at the location so I thought I swing by to see what he looks like lol but I don't know if the guy that I saw was him or one of his other employees. I didn't ask his name but he seems like a younger gentleman who speaks really good English, he took my order. So I decided to try their famous Lan noodles combo with the wide flat noodles, I ordered it mild because I wanted to taste the difference, spicy tofu and a coke. I also ordered the xiao long boa and chicken gizzards. First he brought out the can of coke and the spicy tofu, sorry but the tofu is not spicy and it doesn't even have chili on them. Then the chicken gizzards was super spicy and chopped up to tiny pieces ( I didn't like it that it was chopped up like that), then the noodles ( i said mild, why is there so much chili oil on it ? It doesn't even look like the picture that I saw a guy posted from 10 months ago) then the lady brought out the xiao long bao with the sauce ( this one is good but there's no juice inside and if you don't eat it within the 30 minutes, it will dry up quickly, I was texting my friend while I was eating that's how I knew it dried up lol). So again, again they dropped of all my food, not one person came by to check up on me. Even the table of 4 next to me, no one came over to them either and the guy when up to the register to pay. I guess customer service isn't really their strong suit because if you read their reviews, a lot will say they never came over to check up on them if the food is ok or do they need anything else. Little things like this, goes a long way, you will have more returning customers, if not, they will eat next door to you. I would leave my ratings as a 3 stars because the owner was nice enough to reply back and off a better service that didn't happen, I just give it a 4 stars. Good luck

    SPICY BEEF with wide noodles
    Emily E.

    If you enjoy having Noodle St, you may find yourself enjoying the various types of fresh noodles they have here as well! I ordered the spicy beef with wide noodles and was very happy with the noodle consistency that they freshly made. Food was 8.5/10. The service was okay since it felt like we had to ask for everything even though there were only two other parties. But overall, it was a good try. Be aware that the parking lot can get really busy since there is a market across the plaza.

    LAN noodle was delicious. Stopped by on Tuesday evening for dinner, and Im so glad we came here. Ordered the beef broth noodle soup. There are like 8 options for noodle size, we got the flat wide noodle. It was a bit too wide and a bit difficult to eat because the pieces are so long. However, the noodle texture was great. The broth was so flavorful and the beef was tender. Also ordered the mild level of spice and it was just right. Still a tad bit spicy but good flavor. Tried the Xiao long bag on they had good flavor and packed with just the right amount of pork. Our server was very attentive and quick. The play is small, very casual and clean.

    Came here 7PM on a Saturday and we were able to be seated immediately. Good variety of options, and you can choose what kind of noodles you want with the dishes. The space inside is clean and quite spacious. My favorite was the big chicken plate--had a great kick to it, the chicken was tender, and the wide flat noodles were freshly made with the perfect chew. Slight watch out though--there were some shards of chicken bone in the dish, so chew carefully. The service was fast, food authentic, and portion sizes were large--we ordered three noodle dishes for four people and still had some left over. Plenty of parking in the lot.

I was able to find parking pretty close and tried to avoid parking in the reserved spots for specific stores. It was quiet and empty when I went in, the place was spacious and I saw seating and a drink fountain dispenser (a few drinks not available but they had my Diet Pepsi). I was greeted warmly and I ordered two 3 item combos: Chow mien, orange chicken, mushroom chicken, and pork stew White rice, teriyaki chicken, chicken and potato stew, and salt and pepper chicken. My favorite was teriyaki chicken and salt and pepper chicken. Everything was good honestly, I didn't have anything bad to say other than the containers will leak through into the bag and you will get sauce on the napkins, utensils, and sauce packets. For the price, it was $30 plus drink and can definitely satiate 4-6 people. They have a tip jar and since I paid cash, I forgot to tip but will go back and make sure I tip! The server is really nice, we chatted a little and she is very sweet. Apparently my bf knows about the place and the owners years ago so next time I'll bring him to try it now!

It really goes to show how the surrounding community that has a balance of different ethnic group comes to appreciation the good flavor and quality of this Chinese cuisine. The services here are very friendly and attentive. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you come in an hour before they close they will let you know that in advance. I think the intent is so you order fast and don't linger. Not a negative for me since my family usually is pretty quick about eating and going. They are also pretty good with customizing their ingredients. My wife is gluten free so we would ask that they not add in soy sauce or oyster sauce in some of the dishes that we know can still work without those two ingredients. You would need to know how to customize it yourself as I don't think they would know what to do if you simply say no gluten. Overall, I really don't have anything negative to say about this place.

While my experience wasn't quite at that level, the entrée itself was still enjoyable. Overall, I'd return and would recommend.

Pro tip: If you are a first timer/came from far and waited a while don't let them seat you at the bar the experience is not as nice by far (I saw someone say it's like paying to stare at a wall - I concur) Being seated at a booth or table will allow you the full experience but I do understand there's only a limited amount of room in the bustling place.
