4. Beef Tendon Noodle Soup
Marni M.

On a Sunday night, the cafeteria was busier than I was anticipating with lots of families and smaller groups of people. My friend and I did a little magical chairs trying to find a good place to sit where it wasn't too loud and we weren't getting the draft from people walking in and out. We decided to split their 4. Beef Tendon Noodle Soup and 7. Steamed Shrimp & Pork Dumplings. Having had the dumplings steamed, I think they would have been just as good if not slightly better pan fried instead. They were juicy and came in an order of 14 which got quickly eaten. I liked the clear broth of the soup but would have liked if there was pieces of beef as well as the tendon to provide different textures. Overall, we had a solid experience. Our dumplings came out relatively quickly but our noodles took a while. After 15-20 minutes we asked about it which turned out to have gotten lost so they made it in under 5 minutes after the fact. Only thing was we requested for the hand pulled noodles but got the regular ones. I would like to come again and try different items from their menu!

Chive 8. Chives Pie  5. Mix Grain Crepe with Crispy Cruller

Amazing food ran by a hardworking family, the mom still speaks with her tianjing accent and brought the taste of home to Atlanta. I really appreciated this place and the chive pies tastes like the ones my mom makes :-)

This is probably one of my favorite noodle soup restaurants that I have had in a long time. It is a family owned business. Frankie is the father, Mary is the Mother, and their son are running this restaurant together. I just appreciate the authenticity of it all. You see the big pot of the delicious beef broth or ox tail. The meat was super tender, and the noodles slurped nicely into your mouth. Next time, I would like to try the traditional beef noodle soup!

I love this place. They specialize in hand-pulled noodles, and they pull the noodles fresh in front of you. We walked in to the food court, and saw they were the only ones using a digital kiosk to take orders and payment without too much interaction with staff . Perfect for introverts! We also obviously had to relive our Japan days, and try it out. The kiosk asks if it's for take-out or dine-in, and there are tabs for appetizers, noodles, soups, drinks, etc. Just customize your meal any way you like! I got the soup dumplings and spicy beef noodle soup, and the broth was one of the best I've had. It came with bokchoy, scallions, and beef flank. The noodles had a nice bite, and the serving was enough for two meals! The soup dumplings were tasty too, though the skin was a bit doughy. Will definitely be back!

Green Scallion Pancake

Located in the food court of the Atlanta Chinatown building, you're definitely not here for the ambiance. The food court is crowded, the AC never feels like it's working, and the tables are still sticky and greasy from the last set of people that sat there. But what you are here for is hand made and delicious Chinese food, and they do it well here. The green scallion pancakes have just the most fantastic chew to them while staying light and crispy on the outside. The pan fried chive boxes are absolutely bursting with chive filling wrapped around a perfectly crispy exterior. The rolled beef wraps have tender slices of braised beef that have a great balance between the chew of tendon and meat. Finally the pan fried buns have that characteristic crisp bottom, fluffy top, and the filling is bursting with flavor and juice. No, you aren't getting some 3 Michelin Star service and table settings here. But you are getting excellent down home cooking that reminds you to choose flavor over ambiance any day :)

Shrimp dumplings
Hailey R.

Located inside Chinatown in Chamblee, Lan Zhou has a menu that looks pretty similar to other vendors -- save their hand pulled noodles. The menu is easy to read and you order at a counter. Service is friendly and they're happy to answer questions about menu items. Conveniently, the employees brought our food directly to the table unlike in other food courts where you would wait to be called. We ordered a number of items to try! - Beef Noodle Soup: Probably our least favorite we ordered. While the noodles were delicious and the bok choy/beef was plentiful, the broth lacked flavor which was disappointing. I added some chili oil they have available for dumplings which helped. - Soup dumplings: Quite good, though not as soupy as I was expecting! The filling had great flavor. - Shrimp dumplings: Delicious! These were gone so quickly, as everyone loved them. - Scallion pancake: Not quite what I expected, being familiar with the Korean version, but very good! Has almost a fry bread / tortilla texture? but very yummy. - Knife Sliced Lo Mein: The noodles were again, absolutely amazing, but I would've like a few more veggies and more tender cuts of beef. We found that the meat was a bit fatty and tough, but loved how big the pieces were. Overall, I'd come back and order from here again when in Chinatown, but I might try some other places first before returning. A solid option within the food court though, and at a very reasonable price for the portion size.

Fried noodles w/ duck

New Lan Zhou specializes in hand-pulled noodles. Apparently he makes them fresh every day, which is easy to believe since I've seen him hand-pulling the dough each time I've gone. The effort is certainly worth it; noodles have a nice chew and bounce to them. I've had the duck fried noodles as well some of the beef noodle soup. Both dishes were excellent with very generous portions (enough for at least two meals). They actually do take credit cards here, and orders are conveniently taken via kiosk. I highly recommend New Lan Zhou!

Hand-pulled noodles with roast duck

Delicious hand pulled noodles and Xia Long Bao We found this eatery in the food court of the Chinatown Mall and just had to eat there after watching the owner making the noodles by hand. The noodles were super delicious - fresh and chewy, and we loved the Xia Long Bao (soup dumplings).

Scallion pancakes $3
Jessie Y.

Definitely come here and try their noodles!! I absolutely love them and my whole family does too. The owner hand pulls and makes the noodles everyday so the noodles are chewy and delicious. I personally like denser noodles so it fits my taste perfectly. One bowl of beef noodle soup is only $7.50 and comes with a lot of pieces of beef. I also always get their scallion pancakes ($3) as well and it's super tasty with sriracha! Don't forget to get soy milk (only $1.25!) and they make it fresh too. The soy milk comes unsweetened so you can control how much sugar you'd like. Seriously one of the best places to eat~

Takeout menu as of 10/31/20

We have been back for takeout a couple of times during COVID, and the food never fails to impress! I used to always order their beef noodle soup when I was dining in person, but hadn't chosen this particular dish since the pandemic started because I was concerned about how well such a noodle soup would travel. Well, fear not! The excellent hand pulled noodles are packaged separately from the broth, so they remain perfectly chewy and delicious when it's time to eat! While the noodles have always been the star and the main thing I crave from this place, I also have to call out a few other perfectly delectable dishes we have had recently: - Shanghai bokchoy with black mushroom (Woodear mushroom, actually, which is my favorite)× - Mapo tofu (made with firm vs silken tofu and slightly numbing spiced) - Beef roll (made with scallion pancake and slices of super tender beef) I also think the kiosk for ordering (necessary if you are paying by credit card) is also incredibly easy and user friendly. The staff here always wears a mask, there is a plexiglass partition, and the food court has hand sanitizer by the doors.

Takeout Beef Hand-pull Noodle, plated (my own bowl/utensils)

Decided to try this place out after I saw Mikey Chen ate here, although I didn't order what he got because I've been on a bit of a beef noodle quest lately. I ordered a few items and they ranged from decent to great. Chinese Fried Twisted Cruller - a standard youtiao. Not life-changing, but airy and tasty. Soya Milk - the salty variety, not the sweet kind. I didn't love it but if you like very traditional soya milk with a strong soybean flavor, you probably will; I like my soya milk a little milder. Chinese Chives Pie - this was my favorite. It does have egg in addition to the chives. The flavors are wonderful, not too salty and not too bland, and baked to perfection. Scallion Pancake - I like this pancake, though I have some mixed feelings. The flavor and texture are really delicious, but it's definitely not a typical scallion pancake. For one, while it is very tasty it doesn't really have many scallions. Two, the texture is not typical - it isn't chewy, it is soft and pillowy. Also delicious but not the usual. I was surprised to see other reviews remark that this pancake was greasy, though - there was barely any grease on mine, and no other scallion pancake in the Atlanta area has been less greasy than this. Maybe they were low on oil when I stopped by? No idea. Beef broth and beef/vegetables - the beef was made up of delicious cuts with the perfect balance of lean meat and fat, and the vegetables included bok choy, chives and cilantro which were all very fresh and tasty. The broth itself was decent, but it was a little bit saltier than I'd like. The famous hand-pulled noodles - these were great. Lovely flavor and texture. Not the best hand-pulled noodles I've ever had, but the best of the Lanzhou variety. In any case, comparing anything to Biang Biang noodles is not a fair fight. Overall, the food here was quite good. The prices were great. Nothing blew me away but with the very friendly service and the freshness of the food I would recommend stopping by this place if you're near Chinatown.

beef stir fry noodle - dripping with oil
Deanna H.

This stall is in the Chinatown food court. This has to be one of the grease plate of stir fried noodles I had in my life. I order stir fried beef noodle. The beef was processed stamped beef squares, There was no taste to to the food. The noodles and vegetables were coated with so much oil I had to wipe my lips after every bite to get the oil off them. They had three condiments and a big container of salt. The soy sauce was watered down and the hot garlic oil???? was thick as stale. Not a good place to get stir-fry noodles.

Beef Noodle soup (with added chili oil)
Gerald D.

This is a pretty special place, and worth the trip out to North Perimeter to be able to visit. You'll have to bring cash, but the prices are quite reasonable for what you're getting. The food: The noodles are absolutely excellent and so is the soup base, everything really comes together for a delicious meal and this is the 3rd time on a trip to Atlanta that I've chosen to make the trek out here. The Xia Long Bao (soup dumplings) are good! But not the best I've ever had, you do however get a fairly generous portion in return for your money. The bad: (why they didn't get 5 stars) I'm not sure if it's because I am gweilo or if this is standard, but after watching the chef hand pull noodles he slipped to the back and came back around with two frozen bundles of noodles and dropped them into the cooker. They may still be hand pulled noodles, but they weren't the fresh noodles I watched him make. So although you may experience the pageantry of watching "your noodles" being hand made, you may not get those noodles. Having said all of that, the next time I am in Atlanta you'll find me here. I believe it's the best noodle soup you can get in the area. 10/10 recommend dropping by, you wont be disappointed.

See all

Does anyone know if they're doing gift cards during the coronavirus outbreak? I want to support them, but don't want to expose others to anything I might be carrying.

Is the vegetable hand pulled noodle made with a vegetarian broth or a meat broth?

Food Terminal is one of my regular spots, and this visit reminded me why I keep coming back. The…read morefood is consistently solid, but the service really made the difference this time. Our server, Lia, was wonderful--super patient, always smiling, and really helpful when it came to recommending dishes. She took the time to explain options, and her suggestions were spot on. Food-wise, everything hit the mark. The pig ears were surprisingly good with great texture and flavor. The Garlic Bone Marrow Noodle Soup was rich and comforting, and the Herbal Spare Ribs had a really nice, well-balanced herbal taste. Consistently good food, a comfortable vibe, and service like this are why Food Terminal continues to be a neighborhood favorite for me.

It's been a hot minute since I've been to Food Terminal, but I came back with a group if friends…read moreand had a decent time. It was busy inside, but our party of 10 was promptly seated, though we were a little squished into a circular table. I didn't remember this last time, but instead of telling a server what you want, you mark it down on a paper menu and hand it to the server. This time I got the Grandma's BBQ Pork Noodles and the Salted Egg Yolk Shrimp Garlic Noodle. I was really excited to try both since they both sounded so good. Ultimately the Grandma's BBQ Pork Noodle was a little underwhelming - the noodles themselves weren't very flavorful, and the BBQ pork was on the drier side. The pork did have decent flavor, and all the toppings/side items (wontons, fried egg, bok choy) were great, but all in all fell a little short of my hopes. The Salted Egg Yolk Garlic Noodles had better flavor, but I could've used even more garlic and butter. The shrimp definitely carried the salted egg yolk flavor, but the fried batter was a bit soggy/soft in my opinion. I wished it was crisper. Service was a tad slow, but perhaps they're understaffed and/or it was busy that night. I do love the menu concept of positioning it like a magazine catalog - it makes for a fun experience instead of just words on paper

Located in Atlanta's Chinatown, this was definitly one of the more popular spots to grab food. we…read moreordered the fish dry pot and it was only $13 and enough for 2 people, that is a steal! They did not skimp on the protein, the bottom of the dish is veggies but I don't mind because I love vegetables and it's still very filling. Food came out pretty quick and the workers were courteous. A great place to get a cheap and tasty meal.

First time trying Chong Qing Hot Pot for lunch, located inside Chinatown Market, and walking in…read morehonestly felt like stepping straight into China. The whole setup is like a mini food hall with several authentic Chinese spots to choose from--but Chong Qing is where I landed. I ordered the crispy chicken with garlic sauce and swapped the white rice for a side of house lo mein (yes, it's an upcharge, but worth it). Everything came out on real dishes--not to-go boxes--which I loved. You order and pay at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Now let's talk about the food... DELICIOUS. The spice level was just right--flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. If you like it hotter, you can definitely add more heat, but I was perfectly satisfied as is. The lo mein was really good too--veggies were fresh with a nice crisp (those onions and carrots were hitting!), and everything tasted well-balanced. Only small note: I wish there was a little more meat in the dish, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. And let me say this--the portion size is VERY generous. I ate until I was full and still had just as much left to take home, which is always a win in my book. All in all, I'll definitely be back to try more. If you're in Chinatown Market and not sure what to pick, Chong Qing Hot Pot is a solid choice. 4/5 stars for me!
