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.
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.
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.
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.
Life is Short, F....it up! Family, Friends, Flavor If you're ever in Flushing, go to the new world mall, go downstairs and you will find this place. Although it is a food court, it's a food court of all different types of Asian cuisine. They were pulling the noodles right in front of you and cooking each bowl With fresh noodles. I got the lamb hand pulled noodles for the soup. You know you're getting something special when you first put into the needle and you feel that texture and the chewing us with the other does able to absorb the flavor of the soup with every bite.
They have delicious soup broth and Chinese burgers stuffed with meat. The beef soups are amazing. The lamb soup is good too. Sometimes the broth might be a little salty.
Great noodles! Only $8.50, so cheap but you get so many noodles!! The tea egg was FANTASTIC. Also came out within 2-3 min, it was so fast. The meal was solid, not amazing, but still pretty good
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.
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. A COCKROACH FLOATING IN THE BROTH. I lost my appetite and called to request for a refund. The woman on the phone says she can't speak English or Cantonese and hung up. This is disgusting.
I know you are supposed to come here for noodle soup but husband ordered the beef stir fry noodles and it was actually very good. Chewy noodles, tender beef, and a good ratio of noodles, meat and vegetables.
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

Even after all these years the beef hand pulled noodles is still good. They give a lot of beef chunks with good ratio of meat to tendon. The noodles were al dente and the soup hit the spot. read more

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

Nice authentic ramen spot. They make the noodles right in front of you. Fresh vegetables and a nice broth. Not the best ramen I've had, but not the worst. The experience is what engulfs you. If you're looking for really tasty ramen, this spot leave's a lot to be desired 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

food: the noodle was amazing. we got tripe noodle and the soup was delicious. it has very fresh favor. they do give a great amount of food. the noodle was great not broken apart. i love tripe so we order tripe noodle but it was kinda chewy. still they gave us so much tripe not like 3 or 4 pieces. i would recommended to come here and try it out. it was cheap too only like 7 dollars. amazingly cheap but amazingly good food. service: it was normal they ask what we want and bring out the food. nothing rude. 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
