    Pork Fried Dumpling / 猪肉韭菜锅贴 (6 Pcs)
    Ale A.

    Casual ambience. Place for family or to grab a quick bite to eat. Food was made fresh and quick. This place is always busy. Great customer service. Affordable prices.

    Really solid hand pulled noodles. The food here is pretty excellent, especially since there are other good hand pulled noodle spots in the area. The space itself is really great and in a good location. Would rec during this cold weather!

    This is a solid noodle house. As you can see from other reviews, it is not for everyone. If you came here to get wings, you are in the wrong place. But if you came here for fresh pulled Chinese noodles, then this is a great spot for you. My go to is the Beef Combo Dry - Mixed with a Stewed Egg. Trust me, you can not go wrong with this one.

    Beef Brisket Hand Pull Noodle Soup -

    I was surprised with how quick and simple service was, as well as the food! I ordered on the kiosk, sat down, and got my food maybe within five minutes. Note that if you order the hand pulled noodle soups spicy, they will just tell you to add the chili oil yourself. The beef brisket was so tender and juicy; it was so tasty. Noodles were a good combo with the beef. I thought the veggies that came with the soup were okay. Broth was fine too but adding the chili oil made it tastier. Overall quick and simple place with chill and casual vibes. Would come again if craving the noodles and in the area.

    Great meal at a reasonable price. Thu's is a fast casual dinning place that makes your noodles on demand. Order on the kiosk and they bring the food to your table. Friendly service a delicious meal.

    Beef Hand Pull Noodle Soup / 牛肉拉面

    Very mid. Even if I didn't know what Lanzhou la mian was, the taste was forgettable, and I will not be eating here again. I walked in seeing the iconic metal noodle-making table and looked forward to a taste of my childhood. To my immense disappointment, I heard no thwacks from the table over my visit, and the noodles did not taste like lanzhou la mian or even like your standard niu rou mian. On top of that, i ordered the thick and spicy beef brisket noodles and got whatever the picture below was. Not brisket, and them noods were what I would have thought the standard thickness would have been. It tasted exactly how it looks: boring, bland, and without any spicy kick. I poured a little bit of vinegar into the broth and somehow it made it taste like a lukewarm liang mian. The popcorn chicken wasn't bad - tasted like Taiwanese popcorn chicken and was tender. It was the only saving grace from my visit.

    Vegetable & Tofu Stir Fried Noodles + Steam Vegetables Bun

    The food was so good I forgot that camera eats first. They came out with our food super quickly and nice and hot. Me and my friend both dug into our dishes and we loved how tasty it was. They have soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil on the table to add separately. I loved adding the chili oil which added that extra kick I enjoy and to my liking. The chili oil and soy sauce also paired well with the steamed vegetable buns. I wish they had small little bowls/plates we can pour the soy sauce into for convenience of dipping into for the buns, but it wasn't too big of an issue. We went around 6PM on a Sunday evening and every table was packed. I noticed a lot of people decide to take takeout too. It's located in a nice complex where you can walk around the lake and check out other shops/dessert places/movies/etc. This place is definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

    Pork Wonton With Homemade Spicy Sauce
    Dwayne J.

    So addicting I'm glad I took the time to try out these pork wontons. They were spicy salty vinegary and delicious and just under $10 this is a quick bite if you're ever at the new Washingtonian Rio. I used to live around here and seeing more restaurants and shops there is really amazing

    When the noodle craving calls, Lanzhou is ready! Enjoyed the simplicity of the digital ordering system - getting our food was simple and the wait wasn't bad. Plenty of seating for small groups - larger ones might be a problem, but not impossible. We both ordered vegetarian dishes - mine the soup and his the dry noodles. Both amazing. Love the umami and balance of flavors. We really don't come here enough!

Happy to see his nood soup still killing it and winning awards. Order the #1. Add some chili oil. Try a side or two. That's all you need.

I got the Scallion Oil Noodles - chewy, hand pulled noodles in a smooth oil dressing. Pair it with the chili oil kimchi for a nice contrasting crunch. My favorite, however, was the Tofu with Century Egg Salad - a small bowl with cubes of soft tofu and quartered century egg and chili oil. Lots of textures and tastes thrown into a tiny little bowl. Be careful - as proof that this place is authentic, their "vegan" vegetable tofu noodle soup is served in beef broth. But once you hammer out the details of the ingredients, the taste is worthwhile. Plenty of others feel the same way - we arrived when they just opened for the day, so we got a seat, but by the time we left, there was a line out the door. If you haven't tried Chopin Noodle House yet, you're missing out!

It was our first time here and we had absolutely no idea what to order. We just saw a bunch of people order soup and once they are out, they are out for the day and they cross it out. By the time we got there around noon, two out of the four available soups were gone. A lot of people were ordering to go and the soup looks substantial rather than soupy. The part about the decor is that you see a garage door in the middle of the place. It's quite chilly inside during winter time, but it has its charm. It's a small non descript place with lots of character and the food and coffee is good. This is one of those places where you're not really looking for a fancy place. You just want good food.

    Ruta Ukrainian Restaurant…read more What a lovely introduction to Ukrainian food. We began with their appetizers and it was uphill all the way. Not only is their food prepared to delight but each dish was visually appealing that elevated our whole experience. I would recommend arriving for an early dinner and making reservations. There is metered parking on the road or paid parking structures not too far away. The restaurant is cozy with a welcoming atmosphere. Well appointed tables and an important part...comfortable chairs. Splashes of color and decor reminded us of their proud Ukrainian heritage. Service from the staff was well coordinated, friendly and never intrusive. I felt I was being fed a family's long standing recipes of traditional specialties. The condiments, creamed sauces or microgreenery complimented each individual dish. Even a simple dinner roll was elavated by its absorption of garlic oils and a house made spread. We tried the Varenyky dumplings with sauerkraut filling and one with short ribs. The Deruny (potato pancakes) were delicious layered with sour cream and a portion of a tasty mushroom mixture. Some items are marked gluten free or vegetarian. Our main entrees were Banosh with pieces of bacon, goat cheese with a polenta cake, the other Banosh Vegetarian also came with a Ukrainian polenta cake, a Mushroom Mixture and goat cheese. My daughter tried the Chicken Kyiv with mashed potatoes which was also very delicious. This memorable meals was complete with their award winning honey cake, moist layers of cake and creamed filling that is now one of my favorite desserts. Not overly sweet and large enough to share with the 3 of us. My only regret is that they are located in Bethesda, if a store opened in Columbia, I would gladly become a regular. I'll just need to make a special trip here again to try more of their selections. Highly recommended for all age.

Let's start with the DD, I usually get the soup dumplings I love the Chicken Soup ones especially but the Pork and Spicy Pork rule too. It's a shame that those are the only soup dumpling flavors though. I also tried the sliced marinated steak yesterday and was disappointed. It was way too thin and way too chewy. Felt annoyed as I spent $12 on it. My friend ordered the veggie dumplings and she said they're ok but lacked seasoning and after I gave them a try, I was inclined to agree. Now let's discuss brunch. The menu is pictured below and $1 mimosas or add $5 onto your AYCE brunch for unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. Not a bad deal. The AYCE menu was five I was a bit underwhelmed especially since most of what I ordered with the exception of the Bao and the braised pork over rice were great. Everything else lacked seasoning. Also a major downside that the soup dumplings aren't an option. The interior is lovelely. If you have a big party with you they'll sit you in this nice and spacious booth in the back its intimate and private and allows your group to really engage in conversation. Service was good though we ran into an issue at least 3 times to my count where they kept bringing stuff we never ordered.
