Not bad at all! They hand pull the noodles in front of you, but i did find it to be more soggy than id like bc some of the noodles would get stuck to each other. There's a decent amt of meat and veggies, and soup wasnt too bad either. I prob wouldnt come here just for this but if im in the food court id order this again. Food came out fairly quickly. Plenty of seats within the food court plaza. read more

If there is a food court / food hall to be found in Flushing, it's likely going to include the Lanzhou (蘭州拉面) somewhere in the mix. Located in the back row of New York Food Court, it's an easy to miss stall that is not in plain view upon entrance. Most folks are charmed by the initial bank of stalls, which doesn't exactly make a prime spot. This Lanzhou is far from perfect, but it's an old reliable and one of the few bizes with a constant presence regardless of the never-ending changes in food court lineups. The highlight for me, is always the noodles themselves. They're usually partially imperfect, which is common for handpulled noodles, and usually al dente enough to where they have a good bite. The he fen (wide noodle) variation is usually a little more doughy but is a good sub for anyone not wanting the usual lo mein style. The knife cut noodles (刀削面) are fun to watch, but is not as exciting to eat. Most of my experiences are tougher noodle for me. The soups, especially the beef noodle broth, are flavorful for the most part despite being a tad too dark most of the time. I think the underrated part of Lanzhou's arsenal is their variety of dry noodle choices. Their zha jiang mian is a delightful bolognese of ground meat gravy that is as hearty as it is pretty. Their standard stir fried noodles are also quite good and recommended for folks who don't enjoy the soupy experience so much. Mixed beef (tendon) or lamb are my usual choices, the latter as cumin lamb is the winner. Like most Chinese food trends, they've also incorporated western Chinese cuisine into the mix, particularly kebabs and rou jia mos, which they've playfully dubbed as "Chinese hamburgers." It's not top tier by any stretch, but an option for those who want to partake. The service is going to be lackluster and typically rushed. It's cash only and most noodles now are nearing the $10 mark after being nearly half the price pre-pandemic. Speaking Mandarin is always going to be a plus, but I recommend some pointing / photo showing for efficiency's sake. read more

En route to a Mets game grabbing assorted eats-to-go in downtown Flushing. Entered the spacious New York Food Court and spotted Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles. Recalled that Lanzhou cuisine was similar to Xi'an and have been a fan of Xi'an Famous Foods since they opened years ago in Manhattan. With noodles potentially a difficult item to eat in the Citi Field stands, decided to order a $7 Lamb "Burger," also recalling Xi'an's tasty cumin seasoned ones. Similarly spiced and pieces of meat vs. a formed burger, Lanzhou's was absolutely flavorful, but the stiff bun, which reminded me of an extremely dense, untoasted English muffin, fought the meat. (See pic.) That being said, would definitely come back to try next time Lanzhou's hand pulled noodles. read more

I went inside the New World Mall at Flushing to see what food they have at the food court. I came across this place called "Lanzhou Handmade Noodle" who make flavorful noodles and flavorful broth infused with herbs and spices. The noodles come in various thicknesses, affecting texture and slurping enjoyment. You can also watch skillful chef preparing the dough and hand pull the noodles. This adds more excitement to the dining experience by watching them while eating. I ordered the roast duck & ribs. It's so good! This place accepts CASH only. Definitely come check it out. read more

SO GOOD AND SO CHEAP!! I got their #4 noodle (beef flank noodle soup) with an egg and it came out to $10.50. It came with a wonderful broth, really yummy noodles, and a decent amount of meat and bok choy. The egg was definitely worth it ($1 extra) as it was super flavorful. The lady running the cash register was a bit impatient/no frills, but I think that was to be expected. It's located in the food court of the New World Mall, which was pleasantly clean and spacious. read more

Located in the back of New York Food Court, Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles is definitely the spot I hit when I'm craving hand-pulled noodles at an affordable price. It's not as good as the one in New World Mall but the prices are cheaper and they also have the unlimited chilli oil and mustard greens. However, the portion of the meat is pretty small for the amount of noodles. The meat is great though -- super tender. I can't speak for the flavor of broth itself since I always add extra chilli oil and pickled greens but I haven't had a problem with it. Also read some complaints about the staff being rude but I haven't personally had any issues with them. Could be because I don't really interact with them beyond ordering and picking it up once its ready. Service is fast and I typically get my order pretty quickly. TL;DR: Classic, affordable, and filling hand pulled noodles spot. read more

The noodles are always good. I love to get their beef noodles to-go and eat their jaijiang noodles. The noodles have a nice chew to it and elasticity. I took home the jaijang noodles once and it was a disaster; everything was clumped together. Most noodles and items are around $10 or less. They have quick service. Also, must get the hot oil, there are sesame flavor in the oil and enhances the noodle dishes. This is inside the food court, depends what time you go, it can be crowded or not. read more

Slightly better Chinese fried noodles. Wouldn't get again, the soup noodles are probably better.

It's like a upgraded food court noodles. Not worth going to. lanzhou hand pulled noodles

We decided to try this food court when we were shopping in the area. We ordered a sliced beef, a beef stew bowl. Noodles were cooked well in the broth, though the stew was a bit on the oily side. They also have tasty beef and chicken skewers. Service was fairly quick and prices were reasonable; may go back to try other dishes. read more

Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles - Vegetable hand-pulled noodles in soup - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Food is average. Nothing that stands out. It was kind of soggy as well. Xian famous foods noodles taste way better and flavorful with spices in my opinion. It is only a 6 min walk or so from the mall next to flushing library. read more

Food is bad and staff are rude! The lady yelled at me for asking for extra bowls for sharing. The other staff just stood there and watched as she yelled. She ended up asking for money but I feel like it's probably not protocol and she'll just pocket it. Also, If you need to charge money for extra bowls, you can say so without yelling. If you see her there, please stay away and avoid the abuse. The beef noodle soups are just noodles with barely any beef. Only tiny bits of unrecognizable brown stuff. Not like the previous customer photos at all. Maybe management changed. Definitely not worth the money, especially with the abuse. read more

Noodles are definitely hand pulled, but a little too thick for my liking. The soup was not super tasty (a little bland), and it'd be nice if the soup noodles had more toppings. Beef slices inside are okay, but are not in generous portions. Overall an okay soup noodle. I tried some of the stir fry noodles and felt like they could have used a little more flavor, but if you like chewy noodles this place is still fun to try. read more

Noodles are fresh and springy. The beef and seafood soup were both watery. The beef tendons were soft but the seafood was over cooked. Definitely don't skip on the chili oil as it's a tasty enhancement to an otherwise bland broth. read more

Overall rating: 4/5 Food: I'm always down for some comfort food. But ugh my silly self forgot they offered both the "la mian" or the wider noodles (which I prefer). But either way, it's still gutentag! The soup is super flavorful and they give more than enough. The noodles they provide is ample and the beef is just right! I just wish they added less oil! Ambience: It's within a food court so it's nice that you can just sit down anywhere. It's definitely wet lit and you can come with friends or family. Price: I forgot how much I paid but definitely no more than $10/11 for beef noodle soup. Everything on the menu was within the range of $10-15 so definitely affordable for some homemade noodles. Service: They are super quick! Given there are three in the kitchen stirring up some good food and one cashier, you'll get your order in no time. read more

I ordered beef noodle soup, and I got it delivered through UberEats. The broth was somewhat tasty and lukewarm, nothing spectacular. AND AS I WAS EATING, I FOUND A COCKROACH IN THE SOUP.

After it got Bourdain'd, I avoided Lanzhou like the plague. The original Golden Mall location got overrun by foodies wanting to stuff themselves with lamb burgers and something tingly. I ended up across the hall in ... another hand pulled noodle place. And then they opened up a counter at stall number 22 in the New York Food Court so I returned. Somehow, surrounded by the glitz and glamour of its neighboring venues, Lanzhou was able to preserve a bit of its divey personality. The service is short yet efficient. The food is still pretty good - especially the cumin and lamb noodles. The sauce "station" is obtusely positioned adjacent to the register. For ~$8 a pop, it's still likely to hit the spot. read more

I would say that if you like noodles this is the spot. No frills and in the middle of a busy food court. Broth is flavorful and noodles are chewy. I had a number 1 which is the beef noodle soup. Depending on the day you either get more or less beef. The garnish is just parsley and scallions. I think you just get a couple of pieces of bok choy for color. Definitely a filling dish for about 10 bucks. They also offer a braised egg for 50 cents. Cash preferred. read more

Worth a try to satisfy your noodle soup cravings. The hand pulled noodles here have great texture. I had the Ox Tail (#3), which came with a decent amount of meat and veggies considering the price point. The portion size was more than enough for me to have some leftovers. Broth left me yearning for a little more. The soup was a little too salty for my liking, though it had good flavor, and was topped with well prepared meat. It felt more real seeing the noodles being made in the back of the shop :) .. I waited for about 4 minutes to get my dish. read more

Sometimes big names don't bring big game. That game? FOOD. Everyone or almost everyone knows of hand pulled noodles. Why? Because it is supposed to be better than machine processed noodles. Better consistency, better overall chew, just BETTER. What I ordered today reflects that except for the tripe. The noodles were expected. Good chew. Nice texture. Consistency was there. Lightly salted. Good stuff. When I got to the tripe...well... To say that they are flavorless is an overstatement. To say they are bland would be a compliment. I wasn't expecting dim sum steamed tripe which is in my opinion the absolute best tripe that you can have BUT I did expect some flavor. It was so bad that I had to use the soup to mask the lack of flavor. On top of that a few pieces that tasted bad from leaving it out in room temperature OR being undercooked was accidentally ingested due to me whoring first to reviews of these places that I put the work in creating pages and making sure relevant info is uploaded, Yelp life is HARD on the stomach. I guess this is a good time as any for that colon cleanse.... Probably shouldn't have said that in a food review but I'm being so real with you right now. Yah DUNO. I will say this, the tea soaked whole egg was a nice touch. It might have been just an off selection for Lanzhou. Maybe their A grade on their most recent health code is really a front for the C health code directly behind it? I simply don't know. I'll give it another go but not the tripe again. read more

Inside the New World Mall food court! They got my order wrong and the lady behind the counter didn't seem very keen on making sure she was putting it down right. She didn't speak much English, and the menu doesn't help much. Regardless, I tried ordering Zha Zhiang Mien and some wontons. I ended up getting minced pork soup noodles and wonton noodle soup. I was pretty annoyed but decided to leave well enough alone and took my order home. I ate the noodles when I got home about 30 minutes later. The noodles are hand pulled so they were a little soft by then... but they were AMAZING! Despite the awkwardness of the order, the food was so good. The noodles were a little soaked in the broth, but everything else was perfect. Amazing broth, great spices to the pork and so well priced. I would go back, and maybe order the same wrong thing again- that's how good it was! read more

The star here is no doubt the hand pull noodles, which is chewy and soak up just enough broth for it to be flavorful without getting too mushy. There has been a bit of inconsistency from time to time at this location versus the original (Golden Mall basement). However, it is rare. They have a wide selection of toppings for your noodles. I usually go for the beef noodles ($6) which has a delicious, slightly soy flavored beef broth. The 4-5 slices of beef are quite tender, but I usually add $3 of extra beef or beef tendon for a more fulfilling meal. Also, the lamb noodles are quite yummy too, but you have to like that strong gamey taste that accompanies lamb. There is a million noodle shops in Flushing and Lanzhou is one of the more famous names around. That didn't happen by chance and I still believe they are one of the best noodle shops in the area. read more

i've been here twice. i got the same thing. the beef pulled noodles. it's great! simple, tasty, cheap. there's not much more you could ask for. you could easily pay twice as much for the same quality of noodles, honestly. there were 4 big pieces of beef in my soup, which were cooked well. but the best part was the noodles - perfectly chewy and filling. there's not much more i can say. if you're shopping at the Skyview shops and you get hungry, stop by the food court, grab yourself some pulled noodles from here and you won't likely be disappointed! verdict: great noodles! read more
