This spot has such cute vibes! I was a huge fan of the decor inside, it reminds so much of Silverlake Ramen in california, with its pristine design and modern look. The space is calming and rejuvenating as you sit down to a warming bowl of noodles. Not to mention the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment you enter. As for the food, their menu offers an impressive variety of noodle dishes, soups, appetizers, drinks, and desserts that all come together to form a cohesive dining experience. My personal recommendations are their beef rib noodles and lamb skewers, these were the most tender and complex in my opinion, but everything is packed with incredible flavor! Although for the beauty of the dishes themselves I expected a little bit more refinement and elevation of technique, this spot is still very reliable and craveworthy! If you're ever in Seaport, I definitely recommend a visit. read more

Nice new location in seaport! The space is clean and well lit and decor was appealing. They have bar counter seats, booth backed tables, and chair tables. Tables aren't huge, you can sort of seat 3 to a table on the booth back style ones. Servers were nice. Food came out fairly quickly. They did take quite a minute to take away our empty dishes but eventually did. The gentlemen who dropped off the entrees, did so and looked at the empty dishes and left them. beef rib chili oil noodles (x2 orders) - I chose this overall i enjoyed it, has a spice note that builds as you eat, but not overpowering. The beef itself was texturally a bit tougher than I expected, but maybe that was my bowl. It was still enjoyable. And the noodle texture was nice. Had a bouncy chew. My bowl of noodles did have the noodles clump up in blocks though. -lamb shank noodle soup- the broth just tasted like salty hot pot broth base, a bit too salty for us. -soup dumplings (x2 orders) the wrap held the soup inside well and didn't rip. The presentation is pretty. I think the typical steamer box with the dumplings inside would suffice, the individual containers for each dumpling wasn't needed just for ease of grabbing them out i mean. The soup inside and the filling didn't have that burst of flavor when tearing into them. -golden chicken nuggets- crispy fried chicken bites, like street food. I personally enjoyed these and they had a fiery kick. Drinks: -yuzu sparkling juice -white peach sparking juice Both of these bottled drinks were bangers! Enjoyed them. Plum juice - was light and as expected! The fermented osmanthus is an acquired taste for me. Not something I'd personally order again. NIce location, nice vibe. Will try the Cambridge location next and see how they prepare their dishes comparably. read more

Finally got to try Lanner Noodles! Booked a reservation for 3 through Resy & we were able to get a table 20 min early with no issue before our reservation time. We each got our own noodles to try & shared some apps. Here's what we ordered: -beef rib chili oil noodles (x2 orders) -lamb shank noodle soup -soup dumplings (x2 orders) -golden chicken nuggets Drinks: -yuzu sparkling juice -white peach sparkling juice -plum juice -osmanthus fermented rice milk tea My favorite was the beef rib chili oil noodles! Ordered with the recommended noodle size (wide) & It had the best flavor out of all the dishes we tried. We did wish that the beef rib was more tender but I know it's usually not for this kind of dish. Did not find it spicy but as you keep eating it, the spice does build a little. Still, not bad if you're not someone who typically enjoys spicy food & contemplating getting this dish due to spice. The lamb shank noodle soup is what I personally had & I also got this dish with its recommended noodle size, classic. It wasn't bad! The broth was on the plainer side & reminded me of hotpot soup base lol... didn't find it to have much depth in flavor & VERY SALTY. Found myself struggling to finish it and think I would've enjoyed a dry noodle dish more. ***I did ask for a side of chili oil and it helped a lot for this dish!!*** The noodles for both dishes were great! Had a nice chew & you can tell the noodles were fresh. Also had a nice amount of meat in each dish. Next, the golden chicken nuggets! These were, to our surprise, spicy LOL. Totally did not expect this. It came with a sweet + sour sauce that helped with the slight spice. Pretty good. For the soup dumplings, we got two orders of them & it came with a vinegar ginger sauce to pair. They were okay. I liked that they were pretty soupy but other than that, not very impressed. Presentation was cute though! Not much flavor going on & usually we can't help ourselves from going for seconds or thirds but today, we all were okay with just one or two dumplings each & struggled to finish the last two. All the drinks were yummy, my favorites were the moshi brand yuzu & white peach. You can find these at many Asian restaurants nowadays. Plum juice tasted as expected & the osmanthus fermented rice milk tea is definitely an acquired taste. The fermented rice is sweet & has a slightly boozy taste. I didn't mind it but it was my least favorite drink we ordered. Something I wasn't too fond of was when we had finished all the appetizers, no one came to clear them even after our main entrees arrived to the table. Our table was quite small & it just made it difficult to eat. Overall, I'm not sure if I would come back but if I did, it would be for their beef rib chili oil noodles! In my opinion, their portion sizes are pretty generous for the price in comparison to other spots w/ similar dishes on their menu. I liked the texture of the noodles, very fun to eat! Expectations did fall short for this one unfortunately but this is a rather new location so I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this restaurant yet. Restaurants in Seaport always end up being pretty meh & Lanner Noodles is not an exception I fear. Perhaps I will give their other location in Cambridge a try to get a better idea on if the dishes we tried today was an accurate representation of the hype they receive on social media platforms. read more

Much shorter wait than the one in Cambridge (essentially no wait actually on a Friday night), more spacious, and nice and new. Food came out super quickly but was prepared well. Our waitress was very pleasant as well. Menu is on the smaller side but has a good selection, which I prefer. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, but the braised beef noodle soup is classic. I also tried the osmanthus jasmine milk tea and the brown sugar rice dessert which was a nice addition! read more

The seaport food game continues to level up. Service is great and the food comes out so quickly. The space is a little odd since it's in the bottom of the Amazon building, but you'll be in and out so quickly it doesn't really matter. The fried mushrooms were my favorite, cucumber salad was nice and refreshing. Lamb shank broth had more flavor to it, but I loved the braised beef as it was so tender and perfectly spicy. I'd love it if the noodles were a little thicker and chewier, but overall a great meal. Will definitely be back! read more

This location has potential, but needs work. I've been to the original Cambridge location, but this one is rather diminished. I went for the braised beef noodle soup, and they get a decent grade for 2 out of the 3 elements. The soup and noodles were fine, though the soup was quite spicy. The noodles were bouncy and had pretty good texture. The beef was atrocious. Both the beef from this noodle soup and from the Lanzhou beef noodle soup were dry and cooked to crap. It took a while to chew some of that horrendous offering. I notified the waiter at the end of the meal and she appreciated my feedback. Prior to that, I overheard a couple of waiters talk about other patrons complaining about the beef, so it wasn't me. Service was friendly but in need of refinement. They forgot a few requests my dining partner had made. The space is a bit small, with that combination of modern sleekness with "traditional" Chinese looks. It's fine but expect a wait if you have a large group. The restaurant, which is in the Amazon building, has a bathroom just outside the restaurant, though it was in surprisingly bad shape. It's nice to have some affordable dining options in the Seaport, so I hope this one casts off better in the future. Right now, it's behind Yume Ga Arukara by a country mile. I'll stick to the Central Square location for now. read more

Meh, honestly, which is my usual assessment for restaurants in Seaport. Expectations fell short for this place in particular. Food: 2/5. I went with the tomato egg noodles, as that was one of my favorite childhood dishes. For being the namesake ingredient, the fresh hand-pulled noodles were a disappointment - all clumpy and gummy, a sign of maybe overcrowding in the pot. The dishes do come out crazy fast: not two minutes after the table next to us put in their order, the dishes came out already. I thought wistfully of the Xi'an Famous Foods noodles that I used to eat with abandon. The tomato egg sauce was good but needed some more seasoning. The crispy mushroom bites could have used a longer blot to soak up some of the excess oil. Service: 1/5. The troubles started when my friend got there before I did and they wouldn't seat her until I arrived nor did they take her number down to add to the waitlist (which I've never heard before). Then when I got there, they sat us at a table RIGHT next to someone else even though quite a few other tables for two people were still empty. The finishing touch was when a waitress dropped off the check without a word as she was still eating, with lots of food visibly left in her bowl. No one came by to see how we liked our noodles or if we needed anything else. The vibes were very much "get-in/get-out so we can seat as many tables as possible for the night" but then they shove the option of an 18% gratuity in your face when you sign for the bill. Please, please put up a sign for people to enter through the building lobby rather than tug fruitlessly at the locked doors facing the sidewalk. It's really jarring to be eating your food and look up to find some disgruntled faces wondering why they can't get in. I want to give Lanner the benefit of the doubt because I know they just opened this location and are probably finding their feet but this was one of the most mediocre dining experiences I've had in Boston. The jaded part of me says that this is a trendy spot resting on a spurt in interest from being featured in a bunch of TikTok/IG reels from food influencers but there's very little substance under the hype. Yume Ga Arukara is only a few feet away and we should've gone there instead. read more

Lanner Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Decent enough for a lunch as someone who works in seaport but would not go out of my way to dine at this location. They have a decent sized dining room for Seaport but if you don't go right at opening on weekdays expect to wait a good amount since this location is close to so many offices. A lot of the dishes here are dry noodles and the two times I've visited I've received lukewarm food. The noodles are bouncy and have a good texture but that's about all I can say. Nothing stood out. The only thing I've eaten here that I've told others about is their cumin lamb skewer. I'd skip this location and head to the original Cambridge location where there's more options if you don't eat red meat and more consistent food and service. read more

Lanner Noodles - Pork Belly Noodle with Wide Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My husband and I visited Lanner Noodles for lunch. The restaurant is located inside a building complex that is shared with a cafe and other buddy. The entrance is very confusing. You have to enter the main building to enter the restaurant although the restaurant has doors that customers can walk into from the street. Even when we were seated, we would watch multiple customers try to gain access through this door and had to be signed language that it was not an entrance but to come around to the next set of doors. For appetizers, we ordered the lamb skewers and the soup dumplings. The lamb skewers were a bit chewy while the soup dumplings tasted like what we paid for, a little soup and a chewy filling. It didn't come with the ginger vinegar dipping sauce that I am used to, however, there is black vinegar on the table that you can add to the soup. Overall, both appetizers were very underwhelming. For the price, I didn't have high expectations. I ordered the lamb shank noodle soup while my husband ordered the braised beef noodle soup. The hand pulled noodles were delicious as were the soup broth. We can watch the noodles being made fresh. The noodles is not thick and chunky as with most hand pulled noodles restaurants that we have tried. It was thinner. Sadly, the lamb shank meat for my soup was also very tough. I took one bite and gave up and did not touch the meat again. I did however finished the noodles and broth. My husband's meat was a bit more tender. There is hot chili oil on the table so that you can add to make your noodles spicier. My highlight during this visit however was the original roasted milk tea. This was served in a teapot. I would come back to try their other teas and noodles. Service was attentive but felt not experienced. We were not giving plates for the shared appetizers. When I asked for small plates, we were provided bowls which felt silly. Overall, it was a good 3.5 stars experience. I would come back to try their noodles and hot teas but I would skip the two appetizers I tried during this visit. See my pictures! read more

Stopped here while in the city and met some friends. It was a week night and I walked in a couple minutes after they opened. The location was smaller, however there were already a good amount of people in the restaurant. The restaurant has only been open for a little bit of time but they show amazing promise. The staff was incredibly friendly and great at answering any questions. They atmosphere is hip and trendy. The food was very tasty and arrived hot. The kitchen was also very fast moving. The longer we were there, the more the restaurant filled up and the kitchen was able to keep the pace. By the time we left there was a line for people to eat. After eating there, I get why. read more

Need to join wait list when I got there at 5:15... waited around 20 minutes. The service is fast at the beginning, but it got slower when it comes to serving the noodle soup. Marinated Wood Ear Mushroom ($7) - only can taste spicy, don't have the vinegar taste that I was hopping for Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup ($15) - no spicy - the noodle was more harder to chew since they are handmade, don't have the soft texture, the soup was savory without the chili oil Briased Beef Noodle Soup ($15) - same has Lanzhou Beef Noodle soup, just the beef was braised in cube Classic Soup Dumpings ($7) - The dumplings are the highlight of the meal, super juicy and flavorful. This will be the only dish that makes it want to come back again. Skin was thin, meat was soft and juicy. Roasted Milk Tea - Black Sesame ($10) - definitely not worth the price, no black sesame and tea flavor read more

Located in the lobby of an Amazon building, it would be easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. I had high hopes for this place since seaport needs some more affordable eats! They just opened so I think there are some things to be worked out. It's definitely an eat and leave type of place as the servers were really on top of taking your order and getting your check. The lamb noodle soup I got didn't really hit the spot- just kinda lackluster. I got the recommended noodle width and they were quite soggy in the soup. The dry noodles though, was really tasty. The noodles were wider and had a good chew to it! Both dishes were on the salty side and it's apparent by the amount of water they give you. Oh! And the chicken nuggets were surprisingly good. Super light and crispy coating. It has a chili dusting on them but not spicy at all. read more

If you love hand-pulled noodles and have been struggling to find a favorite in the city - check out lanner noodles bar! The wide noodles with chili oil and braised beef short ribs are easily the best I've had in the Greater Boston area. Chewy, thick, and bouncy - it will for sure fulfill your comfort food craving. The chicken nuggies are a surprise standout I keep ordering again and again. The other noodle dishes are flavorful with rich, comforting broth, though the noodles sometimes stick together. Cukes are ok, Din Tai Fung still beats everyone in the cuke dept. The space is clean and adorable but tiny. Service shines with small groups of 3 or less. Bigger parties can slow things down. Highly recommend! read more

Tasty food for the most part. Garlic chicken skewers had good flavor Sweat and sour short rib is small but pack full of flavor with a hint of vinegar. Kids got the braised beef noodle soup, 2 thumbs up. Pork belly noodles was bland, no flavor there. Beef rib chili oil noodles was really tasty, but you must mix it first. We wished they would have tossed it in the sauce before serving. read more

It's pretty small and feels like it's part of Amazon lowkey though :/ it feels cleaner than the other location. you can join the waitlist online, which is nice! the service is really fast, but the food was not as good as the Cambridge location. everything was overly salty and the noodles were overcooked and mushy. it's a nice place to visit exactly once. read more

My partner and I got the beef rib chili oil noodles (w wide noodles), tomato and egg noodles (w classic noodles), sour & spicy pickled cauliflower, crispy mushroom bites, and longjing tea douhua pudding -- TASTE: 5/5 - wasn't expecting the food to taste so good haha. Highlights included the tasty chili oil, comforting tomato and egg combo, sharp cauliflower, and not-too-sweet pudding TEXTURE: 4/5 - loved the texture and size of my wide noodles, and the super crunchy mushroom bites. The pudding was light and a perfect end to the meal PRICE: 4/5 - noodles ranged from $12-$30 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - satisfied by what we got for dinner and all of the options for smaller cold & hot bite plates SERVICE: 3/5 - walked in at 4:30pm on a Sunday and half the tables were available. Started off strong w super quick service; all of our dishes came out within 10min of ordering. However there was only one waitress serving all the tables, so it took almost 30min just to get our check ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - modern space, that was a little smaller than I expected, w a really genre-diverse playlist lol. Appreciate that you can see the noodles being hand-pulled through the kitchen window. There should be a sign on Lanner's street-side door to enter through the Amazon office building's entrance instead! PARKING: 4/5 - got lucky w a metered street spot on Seaport Blvd read more

Good location. Sub par food. I should have read the reviews first. Cucumber salad was so bland. Just a little garlic and sesame oil. It needed much better seasoning. I had the beef noodle soup with the flat noodles. The noodles were a congealed clump at the bottom of the bowl. What I could get separated was mush. The beef was super tough which I think they knew because they cut it into the cubes about the size of dice. Some of the worst Lanzhou beef noodle soup I have ever had. read more

No alcohol yet unfortunately - they are waiting for their license still. Lanner is in a nice new modern space in Seaport (no need to go to Cambridge) inside an office building. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of seats and they don't take reservations. They do have a waitlist that you can add yourself to online. They will require your full party be present before seating you. Recommend: - Beef Rib Chili Oil Noodles (although they are not spicy enough despite having two chilis next to it on the menu. But their chili oil on the table is very good and it goes well with everything) - Plum Marinated Tomatoes - tastes like watermelon - Skewers - they are OK Skip - Soup Dumplings (there are much better options in ctown) read more

Been looking forward to eating at Lanner. Unfortunately the thought was better than the reality. Cucumber appetizer was tasteless but was the best thing we got. My main was the Pork Belly Noodles. This was ok, if you dont mind a clump of noodles and almost no spice. Of course, this was awesome compared to my wife's choice, BrisFAT Noodles. The brisket was virtually all fat which was gross. The noodles were over cooked and flavorless. A huge disappointment. We wont be going back read more

I am not sure about this place. Ambiance seem ok, but the food is what completely gets me. It is a noodle shop, but no spice except chili oil thats infused with peanuts. No consideration for diners with serious allergies. It is a no for me. Thank you. read more

Another new opening in Seaport! I had tried Lanner Noodles in Cambridge already and knew that this spot would hit. The food surpassed my expectations and the cool and newer store look was just a bonus. They even had the hand pulled noodles made in front of you. Lanner serves some of the best noodles in the east coast so if you're into Asian noodles and you happen to be in seaport you definitely need to check this one out. They also had some special items that were exclusively here at the Seaport location. Get here early as there is usually a line that starts building up around 5:30-6pm read more

Food and ambiance was warm and welcoming. My boyfriend and I ordered the shrimp noodles and the pork belly. When I tell you those were MELTING in my mouth! I appreciate they have a variety in the type of noodle you can get whether it's flat, wide or even those good old ramen noodles. We got both with the flat noodles style; it was absolutely delicious. We also tried the lamb skewers which had an amazing texture and chili flavor, only thing is it was 3 small skewers for $13, which isn't bad but I think a 4th would've made it a deal! Be sure to be on the waitlist btw, it's a pretty smooth process which we appreciated as they were tentative to anyone coming in read more

Ordered the marinated brisket with flat noodles. I should have pushed the bowl back to the server and said, " No thanks, just take it off the bill." Mind you, this was not the server's fault. I was given a flavorless bowl of fat chunks and a clump of mushy noodles. Don't fall for the claim of authentic hand pulled noodles. It's just another bad tourist trap restaurant. read more
