CASH ONLY! (ATM nearby though) In my ongoing search for a solid hole in the wall that serves dumplings, Lan Zhou is a win! I think the other reviews on here are a bit harsh. How to Get There: part of the food court in the large strip mall area of Chinatown Atlanta, off New Peachtree road near the Chamblee Marta station. There's parking around the complex, but spots were hard to find on a Sunday evening even when most of the stores had closed for the day. But a packed food court full of people is a good sign in my book. Ambiance: international, honest and genuine, no frills. Food: I went there on a day when I wanted a noodle soup that wasn't pho or ramen. I got exactly what I wanted in their various noodle soups. I opted for the Roast Duck one ($8.50) while boo got the Beef one for $7.50. Most of their soups were in this range, and you get a lot of food for your buck. The noodles are hand pulled and prepared behind the counter. Pretty neat to see as it was a first for me. They're noticeably softer than other noodles I've had, in a good way. Broth isn't overpowering, but actually a good accompaniment to the noodle and meat. The roast duck was killer, just bursting with flavor. Yes, it was a bit skimpy on the meat to noodle ratio, but that's because they give you a MASSIVE portion of noodles to begin with. You can honestly be full by eating half of the bowl. We also got some pork and chives fried dumplings ($7.50). These were solid too, made better by the chili flakes and sauces on the counter. When I said no frills earlier, you get cheap chopsticks, small plastic spoons, and a tiny Styrofoam cup for water/hot tea. Small gripe, but part of the hole in the wall charm I suppose. Overall, I really enjoyed coming to Lan Zhou. Their noodles hit the spot, and even if you change your mind last minute, there are plenty of other restaurants beside it in the food court. read more

I just stopped by here for lunch today. I have not been into that Chinatown food court for at least 22 years. I picked this business in the food court as it seemed to have higher ratings than the others around it. I soon see there is NO menu here that is correct with correct numbers and prices. In my world this is totally unacceptable. There is no way, now or ever Im going to just order away not knowing the price. I would think if the the tables were turned they wouldnt do that themselves either so why expect your customers to do that??? First of all you have a women and a older women, maybe mother daughter?? and there are several issues going on here. First thing is they have a language comprehension problem. You can easily work around that but evidently there is no will here to do that. All they have to do is put a price up on the pictures on the wall. Thousands of Chinese restaurants find that very easy to do! That would solve a lot of issues. They have a Chinese menu but non Chinese cant read that. Then to confuse it further they have another menu printed and a pile laying right there but those numbers are all different from the numbers on the wall. Just a recipe for chaos. None of the three offered that menu. I had one open, but it was obvious those numbers didnt match the items. When you ask a question the 2 women have different answers! In addition they have a listening problem. They go into panic mode before they listen and just get it all messed up further. I said hand pulled noodle endless times, but what did I get?? The cheap noodle version. I guess when they hear someone ask about a price they revert to whats cheapest. They cant or wont tell you thats the NON PULLED version. When I went to pay the guy in back could see another disaster brewing as NEITHER of the two women could operate the credit card system. YUP! So he came out to save the day. I wish he would have recapped the ONE item order but no that didnt happen. So here you have screwed up menus, workers with a language handicap, and nobody evidently doing anything to fix the mess as even old photos on yelp show no prices on the photos. Maybe they had different help then who knows. They could just use hand write on paper with scotch tape! I bet it will do wonders because whats going on now sure isnt working. OR Just make a single sheet menu in both Chinese and English with prices and a place to check what you want. Let the customer mark it!!! Any mistakes its the customer who marked it. I would love to be able to do that! There are MANY ways to fix a mess like this and its annoying to see a business that doesnt seem to want to fix the problem. I would also suggest simplify the menu also. When the help is having this much difficulty with basic orders Id pick the best and or most profitable items and stick with that. It saves a lot in inventory cost especially with rising prices. It would also bring less mishaps. Many a good restaurant has perished by trying to offer too much. One more easy fix as I know inflation causes most all of us issues, get a cheap chalkboard! read more

The word delicious can't even begin to describe it. The portions are very inexpensive and generous. Very authentic place. The duck noodle was excellent and so was the one with pork intestines. Ambiance wise, don't expect much of course, but for the price you would be crazy to complain. read more

Soup dumplings. Shanghai dumplings. Xiaolongbao. XLB. Orgasmic. Whatever you want to call them. I'm always on the hunt for these babies. As Ilana from Broad City has best described, "I love me some dumplings! It's like a squirrel clutch with a meatball in it!" To amend her wise words a bit, soup dumplings are like squirrel clutches with meatball SOUP in them. What drew my attention to this restaurant was that another review posted a "Warning" that this place is "super super Chinese." As an Asian American, good. That's what I want! Anyway, I ordered their soup dumplings for here and duck noodle soup for take out. In addition to being a dumpling fan, I'm also a noodle fan. If I could choose any starch to accompany my meal it would be noodles (I'm sorry rice, not sorry bread). Also, roast duck is one of my favorite proteins and Chinese restaurants do it right. I'm pretty much all about Lan Zhou right now (heh that rhymes). I came in on a Saturday around 2 PM. Since this was in between lunch and dinner there weren't that many people in the food court and I was able to order right away. When my dumplings were done, the lady who also ran the cashier brought them to my table with a smile. I'm not sure if she does this for everyone, but it was really unexpected and appreciated since my usual expectation for customer service at Asian restaurants is 0. At other Chinese restaurants, the dipping sauce is normally prepared for you and brought to your table. Here, there's a sauce bar where you can mix your own. As a regular dumpling eater, I have my sauce ratios figured out(vinegar, chili, soy sauce), so I prefer a sauce bar. I can see how someone new to the cuisine would prefer something pre-mixed. When I picked up my dumpling, there was the appropriate, cat-like sag, I felt at the end of the chopsticks that indicated good amount of filling. I took my first bite, sucked out some juice, and I was happy...until I felt the scorching pain of hot broth. I do this every. damn. time. I can't wait. The outside of the dumpling was nice and chewy, not too thick. The inside was warm and pretty flavorful for Atlanta. I would say that if you have some history with soup dumplings, Lan Zhou's would satisfy you, but don't expect Din Tai Fung quality. Also, I would like to note that this place is great for solo diners. I have no shame and frequent all sorts of places alone, but I know that's not the case for a lot of others. For those of you other lone wolves out there, this place is great for grabbing a bite to eat since you can sit anywhere in the cafeteria and nobody pays you any mind. This differs from typical sit down restaurants where sometimes I feel like people look at and treat me like I got stood up from a date. After I got home from dumplings, I took a nap. When I woke up, like a true glutton, I immediately went for my duck noodle soup. The noodles were kept separate from the soup/veggies/duck to preserve their freshness. I re-heated the soup, placed the noodles in the broth, and began chowing down. GADDAM. The noodles kept their freshness! While there could be more veggies and duck in the soup, you could tell the noodles were obviously the star of the show--perfectly chewy and slurp-able. The broth was simple, but had good flavor. At the end of my meal I ended up drinking it all down. This place is cash only, but don't fret, there's an ATM in the food court area as well! This one got real long... apologies! I love me some good noodles and dumplings. Here are the highlights: - Cash only! I know this keeps prices down, but it is a hassle to carry cash. - Good for solo diners who have anxiety eating in a sit-down restaurant - Soup dumplings are pretty good for Atlanta - Noodles are amazing, especially if you like thick noodles. They're still good 4-5 hours later if you get take out! read more

New Lan Zhou Noodle - Soup dumpling cross section. Look at that soupy juice goodness. - Chinese Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Yummy! Went on a holiday day for lunch and the whole parking lot was empty except for the 30 spots in front of lan zhou. Packed restaurant but we were told 20 minute wait, and this was right on. Time flew as kids and I watched the noodles being made, and they even hand out dough samples tot he kids to practice with. We had already decided on the seafood hand pulled thick noodles, soup buns, and chicken regular noodles. The appetizer was delicious, love the hot flavorful burst of broth. Both main dishes were heaping and enough to feed a hungry family of 4. Our favorite was the seafood and we liked the thick noodles over the regular. Delicious food as expected and the packed house was a good sign and not a problem at all. Quick service and they also had available clean scissors to cut the pasta with to help serve. read more

You betta bring some cash! Lan Zhou is the place I heard of over and over and over that I had to try when I visited Atlanta Chinatown. While i'd already ordered my entree from another restaurant in the food court, I decided on getting some pan fried Cabbage pork dumplings ($6.95). These came in a serving of 16, so they're easily shareable. As I waited I watched the hand made noodles done right in front of my eyes, which was cool to see, and I kinda wished i'd ordered some, because I perhaps would've come away with greater flavors. The pan fried dumplings were very very soft and moist, without much of a fried texture at all. They were stuffed well with a good cabbage/pork ratio, but the flavors were just okay. I think i'll definitely come back to try a noodle dish or an entree, and hopefully that will bump up Lan Zhou's score with me, but for now, it's just an okay place to eat. read more

This place is located within a food court that is within a strip mall just adjacent to Buford Highway. As such, it was a little bit hard to find, but once I got there, I felt like I had stepped into another world! All of the restaurants in the food court look amazing, but I'd heard about Lan Zhou. We got soup dumplings, pork buns, and a scallion pancake. It was all FANTASTIC. The price was right, too. However, be forewarned that they don't take card. They take Cash or Venmo. Would definitely go back to try the hand-pulled noodles! read more

New Lan Zhou Noodle - Beef Noodle Soup - Chinese Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Lan Zhou Noodles is located in the food court of Chinatown Mall, and best known for their signature hand pulled noodles dishes. Here is my review following a Sunday lunch. FOOD: 1. Hand pulled chicken noodles: this is what they are famous for and besides chicken they have option of beef/pork/tofu/seafood in form of stew or dry noodles. I had it in soup form n loved it. Broth was fresh and appetizing with substantial quantity of chicken and noodles. It's amazing to watch how the hand pulled noodles are made at the counter 2. Chives pie: if i may say it was the perfect pie with a crunchy crispy crust and soft delicious stuffing (chives, glass noodles, tofu). Definitely a must try here. SERVICE: Make sure to carry Cash as they do not accept credit/debit cards. They have got self service. Staff is polite and fast in taking orders. AMBIANCE: located inside Chinatown food court along with other food counters. It was crowded and very lively with bustling energy on a Sunday Afternoon. Overall, dishes comprising their famous hand pulled noodles are really good. The place has an unique vibe(the other food counters in the food court also adds to it and thus accounting for so many options for Chinese food) read more

I saw some fellow Yelpers' reviews for Lan Zhou, and decided to check it out. The location is inside of a strip mall food court, that is filled with lots of interesting Chinese restaurants. You'll see lots of offerings for soup dumplings, scallion pancake, chive pancakes, Hunan dishes, and a hot pot place. All of the places in the food court are CASH ONLY so come prepared. We got the beef noodle soup, soup dumplings, and scallion pancake from Lan Zhou. To drink, we got a Mexican Coke from a different restaurant. The beef noodle soup has large noodles in it, bok choy, beef, and beef broth. The noodles, bok choy, and beef were good but I thought the soup lacked a lot of flavor. I added chili oil to my soup, on an attempt to bring some of the flavor out. But it didn't help much. The issue is that the broth is just too bland. The scallion pancake was good, but was different from other scallion pancake I've had. It was very light and airy. As another poster has mentioned, it reminded me of a Malaysian roti. The soup dumplings were a disappointment. Several of my dumplings had no soup in them. Also, the dumpling was too thick at the top/opening. It created a "chewy" experience. Overall, I think the food court is definitely worth a visit. I'll be returning to try many of the other restaurants' offerings. read more

It is in the Chinese Mall. Area was not clean. Tables are shared with other restaurants so it is dirty. Food is low average. Had pancakes smelled heavy oil. I think oil is old and used for long time. Dumplings where soggy. read more

This is located in the food court in the Chinatown building where Oriental Pearl is located. Anyway, this food court seems to have been given a much needed facelift. New flooring, new cleaner looking stalls, newer chairs and tables. Overall a much better food court than the dingy one before. Parking is ample in the lot just outside, no worries in that department. As you walk in you will see many food stalls, one mexican, one barbeque stall of roast ducks/chicken/pork, one hotpot, a 'western' food stall selling fries and the ikes, 1 Chinese kitchen, dishes you would find in a Chinese home where communal eating is more prferred and 2 stalls selling almost identical typical chinese dishes you would find in China. So I chose this due to the reviews on here. If you read my previous review on China Kitchen (last week), we ordered the same thing here at Lan Zhou (just to make a comparison since the taste of CK is still quite fresh in my memory. Yiu Tiao (Flour stick fritters) Same taste, I am beginning to think they get these from the same supplier and if I can get them at the Chinese supermarkets. And if I can, I won't pay for this and can fry this at home.. Not bad taste Cong Yiu Bing (Scallion/Chives pancake) This is fare more superior than CK. It is definitely thinner, therefore crispier, a little hint of salt, but sorely lacking in Scallion. I wish it had more flavor than just salt. Niu Rou Mian (Beef noodle) At first look, there is much less meat in this than CK. The meat here is slightly chewier.. I don't mind the noodles as it is handmade and like box pasta and fresh pasta, boxed ones tend to be more al dente than fresh. Same here for Chinese noodles. Both taste great. The quantity is smaller here too. Xiao Long Bao (Steamed soup dumpling) The skin of the dumpling was thinner than CK BUT the meat at Lan Zhou is just salty without other flavor unlike CK. Lan Zhou did not add any rice wine to give the meat some kick so the taste was quite flat. Price For the same number of items we ordered, Lan Zhou's price tag came out bigger. I felt a little hurt. :) Overall, it is not so bad if you are in that mall and are looking for something to eat. read more

Fresh, hand-pulled noodles in the Atlanta metro? Hell-to-the-yeah! Every food lover should definitely give this eatery a chance, since finding someone with this skill is definitely hard. Even in major metropolitans such as San Francisco and New York. I've been twice, and I enjoyed both times. ***** I. FOOD Don't expect to find any English there. So if you don't read Chinese, then point to the pictures displayed above and on the counter. Regarding the eats, they have everything from stirfries to soups to dumplings. I've eaten their beef noodle soup and xiaolongbao twice. *Beef Noodle Soup: Fresh, hand-pulled noodles taste al dente, are unevenly separated, and have a slight bounce to them. And they tasted wonderful in my soup. Unfortunately, they skimped on the meat and the broth bordered only on A-OK. As I mentioned, I've had this soup twice, and the second time tasted underwhelming since they diluted the left-over broth with water. To prevent that from happening, try to arrive much earlier during dinner. **Xiaolongbao: Their soup dumplings did satisfy my cravings, however, I wouldn't recommend them to those that know xiaolongbao. The skin seems a bit too thick, for me. Pork and soup inside are fine. II. SERVICE No problems. The noodle man (the dude behind the counter) also doubles as the cashier. They deliver the food right to your table. III. ATMOSPHERE/ DÉCOR Casual and ideal for small to large groups. It's located in a food court, after all. IV. PRICES Around $10 - if I can remember correctly - for a bowl of soup and $7-9 for dumplings. Very affordable. V. OVERALL I must put a strong emphasis on my love, for fresh, hand-pulled noodles. Otherwise, I would consider everything to be just A-OK. read more

I love noodles, especially hand pulled noodles. And Lan Zhou provides that. They are located next to Yanmi Yanmi, the Japanese stand. They replaced Ocean's Delight. And they are now one of my favorite stand in the Chinatown Food Court. They mostly sell noodle dishes. The main entrees seem like noodle soups, and they taste delicious. They also seem like a good value. Most of the noodle dishes cost between $6-$9, and they fill you up. If you don't want the hand pulled noodles because you are gluten sensitive or dumb, you can choose other type of noodles like rice noodles. But those noodles come out of the bag. If you can handle gluten, I would suggest getting the fresh, hand pulled noodles. I liked the noodles here. The noodles are good and has some tooth to it. I could taste the freshness of the hand pulled noodles, since he made them right after I ordered them. I tried the Ox-tail Hand Pulled Noodles and House Special Hand Pulled Noodles. They were both noodle soups. The Ox Tail Noodle had ox tails, bok choy, and noodles. The broth had the nice, Ox Tail flavor. It was a little on the bland side though. They do provide chili oil, sriracha, and other condiments to flavor things up. The ox tails seemed too small, not much meat on them. Overall, it was a good dish. The House Special was just a bunch of body parts in a noodle soup. The soup's broth was nice and savory. It also had a kick to it. Unlike the Ox Tail Noodle Soup, I thought this broth could stand on its own. But like I said, if you need an extra flavor boost, just use their condiments. It had tripe, bok choy, soy sauce marinated hard boiled egg, and other offal in the soup. I don't mind offal, but if you can't handle tripe, I would avoid this dish. I liked this dish and liked it better than the ox tail one. I think I like Lan Zhou the best from all the other places in the China Town Food Court. They provide good, cheap food. If you like noodles, check them out. read more

One of the food vendors in the Chinatown shopping complex's food court and a worthy add to your bookmarks list, if you have yet to try this place. I came because I was craving something full of starchy carbs and what would better satisfy the need than some hand-pulled noodles? Not knowing the spiciness of the Spicy Beef Stew Noodle Soup, I went all in for it. I like spicy and noodles. And even beef. Nothing could go wrong. And nothing did. Except my nose was running like mad and it can be quite the task to slurp up the broth and eat the noodles, while simultaneously sniffing your nose. I won't get into more details, but I am certain that you can picture what I looked like with that brief description. I watched as my noodles were being pulled and admit that I looked like some crazy American tourist in an Asian place. Luckily, I'm Asian myself, but I had to let the people at Lan Zhou in on the fact that I am in fact Vietnamese (American, or ABV, like Michelle K. informed me yesterday), so I wasn't let into the club all the way. I got looks from all around as I snapped photos, but you are lucky enough to enjoy the fruit of my embarrassment. Broth was quite spicy, as alluded to above. But it was full-bodied and enjoyable. Beef slices were extremely tender, but the star, ladies and gentlemen, the star was the noodles made by hand. What a treat. Deliciously chewy and filling, as I consumed them, I almost wished that they would never disappear. But 'tis the nature of food. Or anything else that can be consumed. As you consume it, the supply becomes depleted. My noodles were eventually depleted. I will have to try other things, particularly the various dumplings, since I looooove dumplings. I got a free Styrofoam cup of tea to drink alongside my meal and felt a great satiation of my appetite as I completed my soup. Don't be scared if you don't speak Chinese; you will get along just fine. read more

I've been here twice and liked it both times. I'd never had hand pulled noodles before, so I don't have any basis for comparison, but the other reviewers convinced me it was a thing I should do, so I tried them and was not disappointed :-). You can get the noodles in a soup (more common) or dry. When I came a few weeks ago I had the veggie noodles, dry. I came back tonight for the beef noodle soup. The main menu is in Chinese, but there is a shorter picture menu with English on it (so I guess I don't know what I'm missing :-)). Also, the young man at the counter on my first visit spoke English, and the older lady the second time spoke enough English for ordering to be no problem. My first visit was some random week night when they were less busy and I did not get to see the noodles being freshly made, as I was hoping to from the reviews. But I did get to witness it tonight (a Friday). Food was ready quickly both times, was pretty good, and a filling sized portion. My only "complaint" is that I asked for it spicy both times and I didn't find it to be all that spicy. Anyway. I'm sure I'll be back! read more

NOTE: Cash only! Right in the heart of Atlanta's Chinatown is this delicious Chinese restaurant. Note: Chinatown in Atlanta is really just one plaza full of Chinese restaurants and stores. Lan Zhou is located in the middle of the food court. I was excited to try this place based on the raving reviews, and I was not disappointed. The service is pretty quick and the prices are definitely worth it for the quality of the food. The hand-pulled noodles are freshly pulled (see pictures!) which is awesome. I got the spicy beef noodle soup and it was delicious. The beef was very lean and the noodles were tasty. My friends and I also shared two orders of soup dumplings. There are eight in each order. If you haven't had these before, they are steamed pork dumplings with hot soup on the inside. Don't bite into it too quickly because you may burn yourself! You also need to be careful when you take your first bite so the soup doesn't all spill out. Eating soup dumplings is both a skill and an art! The skin was a little thicker than I'm used to, but this was to our benefit in a way, since they were less likely to break open. They have free vinegar that you can fill yourself since this is commonly eaten with soup dumplings. I also asked for ginger and they gave it to me free of charge. I like to eat my soup dumplings with the vinegar and ginger mixed together. Altogether, two bowls of the noodles and two orders of soup dumplings came out to about $30. I can't wait to come back here! read more

I'm excited about Lan Zhou because this is the closest Atlanta has to an actual Chinatown. That is if Chinatown consisted of a strip mall, but whatever beggars can't be choosy. I've been here a couple of times and I've tried both the beef and roast duck noodle soups. I wasn't as impressed with the roast duck because their were more bones than meat in my bowl and I don't like having to work to eat, but in both soups the hand pulled noodles were excellent and the broth is favorable. Lan Zhou also has soup buns. Hot and juicy ones at that and much more juicier than Chef Liu's. However the green onion pancake although good isn't as great as Chef Liu's, which is a shame because Lan Zhous wontons, buns, and noodle soup are far more excellent. Lan Zhou is cash only, and if you have a germaphopia you may want to bring your own condiments. Also, see if you can get a copy of their paper menu beforehand if you don't speak the language they speak. Your first experience you may just be pointing and handing over cash, but either way the people behind the counter are patient and friendly. read more

This place is very impressive I highly recommend the La mian - the beef stew Lanzhou noodles. Even cooked with soup, The noodles are not soggy at all. Of course not the same level as ramen but if you like ramen you find this surprisingly good. You make the noodle in front of you, that's another sign of authenticity. I also ordered the small steamed bun and the season balls . They are both very good I would highly recommend. The small steamed buns are delicious and they are well made be careful cause the soup would splash everywhere - don't be alarmed this is actually a good sign in our culture that bun is well made. All together for 2 people is 20 dollars - awesome deal! I highly recommend this place and I would definitely come back to try other things! read more

Lan Zhou is one of many Asian food stalls located in the Atlanta Chinatown food court. I ordered the beef noodle soup, scallion pancake, xiao long bao, and mapo tofu. The total was less than $30 dollars! It is a bit confusing who's food is ready because they call out the name of the dish so multiple people could have ordered beef noodle soups. But the lady up front was very friendly and let me know that I'd have to wait for a few more orders so I didn't have to stand there and wait. She also brought the dishes to me when they were ready - such friendly service! I enjoyed the texture of the noodles and thought the soup was mild (but good). The xiao long bao took a little longer to come out, but was also very delicious. If you care for texture of your noodles and buns... This is the place to come! read more

Handmade/hand pulled noodles! This is pretty hard to find usually, but it is in our very own Chinatown. This restaurant is to the left of the restrooms. You can't miss it. It is the one with the man flailing dough around into strings of noodles. When I say handmade I literally mean handmade noodles, not made by hand through a pasta maker, but pulled in perfectly even, tasty, and chewy strings of noodles. The ox tail noodle soup is one to rave about, especially for only $6.75! The bowl is full of ox tail pieces, noodles, and fresh bok choy. I got mine medium spicy, which was perfect. If it was more spicy, then I would have drowned in chili oil. If it was less mild spicy then I would have missed out on that fragrance of the chili. The house special noodles have bok choy, beef, tripe/intestine/stomach, egg, and other finds. Pretty good mix of everything. The noodle soups have a good serving of noodles, very filling. The xiaolongbao (steamed soup dumplings) here have a thicker skin, which makes them more chewy, but does not make it any less juicy. Once you bite into one it has the burst of soupy goodness that you look for in these dumplings. However, I do have to say they are better at Chef Liu's or Northern China Eatery Warning! For those who are not used to eating these, do NOT put the whole thing in your mouth and bite down! You will burn yourself with the soup. Bite a hole on the side and let out some of the steam before eating the rest. And do not waste the soup as our parents say! Definitely a place to try. I want to go back and try to the duck noodle soup yum! P.S. Cash only. And if you don't speak chinese don't worry. There are pictures and they speak english. P.P.S. the food court in general does not have air conditioning so if it's summer and you are eating hot noodle soup, don't expect to remain fresh and cute while eating. You are inevitably going to sweat. It is all part of the chinese street food, food court experience. read more

This might be my new favorite noodle place in Atlanta. Buried in a little nook of Chamblee in Chinatown, there is a little food court with several great Asian places. My wife and I wandered in and got a bowl of the beef soup with hand pulled noodles. So delicious! He hand pulls the noodles everyday, so you are always getting fresh noodles, and you can definitely tell. But it wasn't just the noodles. The broth was savory and clean. It really hit the spot. We also split an order of soup dumplings, which were perfectly cooked. Some places you get soup dumplings that are really dry and all the soup has leaked out. Not here. Super savory and moist. Everyone needs to check this place out! read more

I love noodles and when I heard that this place offered handmade noodles, I was extremely excited. Maybe I was antipating too much because the noodles were not what I was hoping to be. It was very airy and soggy as opposed to my expectation of being chewy and dense. Oh and also the worker forgot my order and have me someone else's order, which was pork instead of beef... Don't get the pork soup dumplings either. Mine came our dried and flavorless. read more

I stayed in Atlanta for three weeks, and went to several Chinese, none of them have good taste, until I found NEW LAN ZHOU NOODLES, foods here are delicious and tasty, very good Chinese northern food. This will be the place I like to come back every time I come to Atlanta read more

This is the real deal. Located in food court by Asian Pearl in Chamblee. You my be startled by the chef pounding the counter with dough as he stretches handmade noodles. Made fresh for each order. Like many eateries along the Buford Highway corridor, you don't come here for ambiance, rather, good bang for buck authentic cuisine. This food court is my go to spot for lunch. read more

First ever trip to the food court, I scoped it out a bit after dinner at Oriental Pearl... I was deciding between New Lan Zhou Noodle and Chong Qing Hot Pot..today the noodle shack won, and I'm so freaking excited. My noodles are starting to be pulled and the loud THWAP! on the metal table he's at startles me and I'm mesmerized by the process of noodle pulling. I swear I'm getting hungrier and hungrier. I originally opted for to-go takeout because it's so hot outside and I heard it's uncomfortable in the food court from others on yelp, but behold-it's actually very comfortable in here with fans blowing so I decided to stay. He finishes my noodles and I can see them wrapped around his hand, all pulled into perfect strings of equal size and tossed into what I'm guessing is piping hot water to cook. I order the Beef with bok choy and noodle, and soup dumplings. So here is the skinny-- Noodles come out before the dumplings and it's scalding hot and steaming aromas of chili and oil in my face. Pleasant and mouthwatering are the words that come to mind. I end up letting it cool and rounding up a few extra touches from the condiment bar. I got a few small cups and nabbed sriracha, vinegar or soy sauce to my soup (the flavor was so delicious it was unnecessary) but rounded them up to sample regardless. I've never had vinegar like this. And I hold myself to the standard of loving all types of vinegar. (I'm that girl that shoots Mrs. Braggs ACV everyday) So I left these all out of my soup except a dash of the hot stuff--However I did make the perfect combination of those three condiments for the soup dumplings. Something about the hot salty sourness of the three together was the MF golden ticket as far as the soup dumplings. And oh my God. They were OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. I recommend nibbling a corner and slurping all the soupy goodness out of the center, then dipping it in the trifecta of sauces and then ceremoniously shoving the remaining dumpling in your mouth. Best dumplings I've ever had. Now the soup! The soup was flavorful and the noddles were the perfect texture, walking the thin line between chewy and soft. The broth was full of flavor and chili spices, next time I'll get it not spicy and add sriracha instead of medium spicy because you could tell all the heat came from chili oil. I honesty couldn't eat even half of my bowl because the noddles are So filling! I also wish I had one of those big spoons to slurp the soup with the noodle like we have at pho. Also-meats weren't all that for me. First time I tried the beef, second the ox tail. Honestly the meats are there to give the soup that extra flavor and make it succulent but it's a minimal amount of Actual protein. I think I might rather try the vegetable one next. I think I'm going to come back, if not for the soup and noodle but for those delicious dumplings. Most def read more
