    Popped into this place for a quick lunch between meetings and wow, it's fantastic! Very authentic--quick service to get you the food then leave you alone, which I love. The soup was warm and nourishing, with well seasoned beef slices, and i also got a small sandwich that was unremarkable and simple, but I like it that way!

    We stopped by here for some authentic Chinese style noodles. I believe they make the noodles fresh in house and the portions are great too. The portions are huge and I would opt for the thick noodles if you can. Highly recommend if you are in the Hollywood area!

    涼皮 - cold noodle
    Scarlett H.

    I've heard about the famous LAN-Zho noodles for quite some time, and finally made the trip to this place. It was indeed authentic, and indeed delicious! That said, this is the opposite of Americanized Chinese food so don't expect tastes like Panda Express here! The Lan Noodle is definitely their best! You have the option to order from half a dozen different kinds of noodles, kind of like an Italian restaurant offering different types of pasta with the same sauce. Fun and interesting. But the cold skin noodle (Liangpi) has a wonderful and unique texture and taste. It's great for a hot day. We also tried their Chinese burgers, but we're not so impressed. I think I will stay with noodles. Grey prices! For under $20, you get enough protein and carbs to fill you up, and maybe some to take home. Chinese restaurants are not known for their service, but this place is quite adequate. They're prompt and efficient, but don't expect them to endear you.

    Oil splash noodle and dan dan noodle with cucumber side
    Rebecca T.

    Pretty solid hand-pulled noodles! Got the oil splash noodle and dan dan noodle, along with cucumber side. There was also a BOGO free promotion for each dish, which was a steal! Delivery was fairly quick, and we were soon ready to dig in. The oil splash noodle was doused in chili oil and absolutely decadent; the biang biang noodles were thick and delicious. Only wished that we'd opted for spicier, as we'd just gone with mild. The dan dan noodles were my favorite, rich in sesame paste, yet had a surprisingly-strong Sichuan peppercorn kick! Definitely a numbing, tingling sensation, but I enjoyed it. Cucumbers were light on sesame oil, so I wish more was added, but the perfect, crunchy side dish to cool off from the spicy noodles. Overall, decent hand-pulled noodle shop. While nothing too mind-blowing, (especially compared to other noodle spots in town), it certainly did the trick for a take-out dinner!

    Saw this place on social media so wanted to give it a try, since good Chinese food is so hard to come by in West LA. I definitely would not come back as the food was just not good, portions are tiny, and service was not great. The beef noodle soup was probably some of the worst I've had. The noodles were abnormally thick and long, there was almost no flavor, and there were barely any noodles or beef in the bowl to begin with. Not sure why they were so skimpy, but we finished our food in no time and it was not filling whatsoever. Something was off about the broth as well - didn't seem super fresh. Service could definitely be improved, and the location/ambiance are just alright.

    Tried this place on a whim, first time we dined in and since then have ordered take out many other times. Our go-to favorites are the Oil Splash Noodles (wide flat noodles/spicy), Dan Dan noodle, Pork belly w/ garlic, Xiao long boa, & braised pear drink. The noodles are hand pulled and the quality of food is excellent. The restaurant is very clean and staff very friendly and super efficient. Plenty of parking in the center.. You really can't go wrong with this place.

    Watermelon drink
    Sherilyn R.

    Fast food style mix with well handled noodles. No actual noodle crafting on display. Solid watermelon drink that they make in store, great option for a hot day or if you want a sweet break from spicy food. Food quality is hit or miss. Passive aggressive customer service. Got their braised chicken with triangle shape noodles - 3/5. The large braised chicken tasted okay. It tasted overcooked for the most part or used frozen chicken pieces that needs better handling to get optional flavor but still edible. The carrot and mushroom thoughtfully sliced, especially the mushroom - great work done there. And the triangle noodles mixed with the mildly spicy sauce was served on a flat dish. Again, really enjoyed the mushroom slice as it soaked in the sauce. The few carrot slices did not match well in taste with the rest of the food quality, threw the taste off. They nailed the noodle texture. This is suitable for the very casual dine/in and fast takeout. They have a good amount of clean space for large groups and small groups. Overall they are fast, the customer service leaves much to be desired personally but they are seemingly polite with the other diners & take out. As someone that grew up eating authentic Chinese food, this is in between Panda Express and the authentic Chinese food. Restroom? Yes, but didn't use it so I don't know what it is like. Parking? Yes, paid; plenty of paid parking in the garage below which will automatically scan your license plate and you pay via QR code available near the elevators (and all over the garage).

    Spicy beef noodle
    Brian P.

    Would give a 1.5 if I could. Peanut celery salad left a lot to be desired. Had 2 bites only: 1 to taste and 1 to confirm that it wasn't for me. Didn't touch the rest. Pretty annoying tbh. Spicy beef was incredibly bland. Despite the meat being cooked well the whole thing was downright disappointing. Borderline offensive, actually. Never coming back, and it's best if you avoid this place too.

    Lan Noodle, thin and wide noodles
    Callan K.

    I ordered the Lan Noodles for takeout through Uber Eats and enjoyed them. The noodles were just as advertised -- thin and wide. With so many different noodle options on the menu, I wasn't entirely sure which style to pick, but I was happy with my choice. The broth was light and beef-forward without being greasy, and even as takeout it arrived warm and held up well during delivery. Next time, I will definitely try to visit in person so I can enjoy the noodles fresh -- and I am looking forward to experimenting with a different style!

    LAN NOODLE 兰州牛肉面

    I ordered DoorDash from here looking for soup since I was sick and I was disappointed with the quality of the food. Firstly, I got the Lan Noodle with wide flat noodles and at mild spice because I couldn't eat something too spicy due to my sickness. The broth was decent and I liked how it wasn't too oily. I feel like it would've been better if I ordered it at a spicier level. However, the worst part was the noodles. They came separated from the broth so it wouldn't get too soggy which I appreciated, but the noodles stuck together forming a massive clump that was hard to un-do. Even when I added them to the broth, they didn't separate. I ended up have to eat the noodle clump as it is and the noodles tasted and felt gummy which was not great. They didn't seem fresh. For the next dish, I ordered the Braised Chicken Noodle with wide flat noodles and it was the same. The noodles clumped together and tasted and felt gummy. The sauce of this one was alright, but could've used more sauce. The chicken wasn't dry which I liked, but it wasn't as flavorful as I hoped. Everything came packaged together nicely and firmly which I appreciated. Overall, I generally did not enjoy the food here. Maybe it's different if I ate in-person, but I know I will not be ordering DoorDash from here in the future.

    Mustard Green Beef Soup
    Tim L.

    Lan Noodle is one of those places I keep in my back pocket when showing friends around LA, cold days, or when I'm simply craving good Chinese noodles. The staff are always super quick and friendly, the restaurant has ample seating (I've never had to wait for a table), and the food is fantastic. Be warned that they unfortunately do not have a bathroom, though. Their biggest sell for me is their house-made, hand-pulled noodles which are nicely textured and perfectly cooked in the style/shape of your choice. I tend to order their mustard green beef soup with their wide flat noodle shape. I'll have to try some of their other offerings, but can't recommend this place enough!

    Lamb Burger
    Catherine N.

    LAN Noodles was on a list for essential Chinese restaurants of LA and I can see why. The Lanzhou beef noodle soup is perfection. Tender beef in a rich beef broth that is somehow intensely flavorful yet perfectly clear. The wide flat noodles have the ideal QQ texture of hand pulled noodles. For the uninitiated, Chinese hamburgers are somewhere between an English muffin and a pita bread filled with various meats. I loved the lamb burger, which had a great flavor to it! The bread itself was very pillowy, yet held up well against the lamb. Overall, I think this might be the best beef noodle soup I've ever had! So good I forgot to take a photo before digging in.

    Noodle Art is located right in the middle of a bustling food court, very convenient location…read more I got the classic oil noodles with three toppings (tomato & egg, potato, and braised pork) and it was a pleasant surprise. The noodles are nice and thick with a really good chew to them, and the sauce is super flavorful and coats everything perfectly. Extremely filling, too. Also tried the cold noodles. If you're used to that super snappy, ultra-chewy traditional style, these are a bit different in texture, but the sauce flavor is so good that I still really enjoyed them. Portions and pricing are super reasonable for LA--starts around $13.95 and it was only a dollar extra to double up on the meat topping. Plus, they have a whole fridge stocked with popular Chinese drinks. I usually go for the white peach Chi Forest sparkling water, but decided to try the pineapple one this time--super refreshing and it cuts right through the rich oil sauce. Super solid spot if you're craving comforting, flavorful noodles!

The Farmers Market is such a fun sight to see, with all the different restaurants to explore. I was craving something soupy that night, so I looked up a list of the best places to try at the market. Noodle Art popped up as a highly-reviewed spot, and since I always love to support good Chinese places in trendy spots, I decided to give them a try. Perhaps it's highly rated because of the limited options in the surrounding areas, but as someone coming from the San Gabriel Valley with a myriad of amazing options, I wasn't as impressed. Mediocre is the best way I could describe it. The menu options were slightly limited, but offered a good array of choices depending on whether you were in the market for something soupy, dry, or a rice dish. To start off, I will say their hand-pulled noodles were very good. The wide noodles were nicely thin and chewy, unlike some other hand-pulled noodles I've had where the dough is way too heavy. I tried the #5 with clear broth. However, the broth itself wasn't great. It had a slightly gamey flavor to it, so I'm not sure if they had cooked mutton in it, since that's another menu item they offer. I really didn't care for the clear broth. It also came with a scoop of potato and cabbage.
