    Lanzhou Beef Noodles Soup with Chives Flat Noodles
    Juliana C.

    I got the classic beef noodle soup with a flatter noodle. Because the noodle was wider, there was more of a chew. The noodles were cooked perfectly so it still had a very nice texture and chew. The broth is very light and salty. It didn't have a really deep flavor. Instead the salt was overpowering all other flavors. It pairs well with the cilantro and chives. I got it spicy but it wasn't really spicy at all. On a cold day, it really hit the spot. I would say that it's similar to the taste of pho but slightly different. I highly recommend this place, it's very authentic and not americanized at all.

    My friend and I shared a soupy and dry noodle dish. Both were amazing. For the pickled vegetable beef noodle soup, we got the wide flat noodles. Definitely hand-pulled in house. The broth was light and comforting. The meat was tender & the pickled veggies were soft. The other noodle dish was packed with flavor too. It wasn't necessarily dry as it was drenched in sauce. I highly recommend trying both types of noodle dishes. The chili oil on the side enhances everything! The employees are kind. The inside is on the smaller side but can accommodate large groups as needed.

To me, this is the perfect order for 2: 2 orders of peanut butter dumplings (yes, you need your own because they're that good, and for optimal sauce dipping for your other dumplings too!!) and an order of steamed half chicken coriander half spicy pork dumplings. Definitely don't skip the drinks! I got the lychee dragonfruit tea and added in lychee popping boba this last time. Delish. I haven't been super impressed with some of the items aside from the dumplings - I wouldn't get the hot and sour soup again and could take or leave the cucumber salad. But the dumplings and the drinks alone easily make this place a 5/5. Some of the best dumplings I've had in Nashville!

The inside goes beyond your typical neighborhood Chinese spot, with grand décor that sets the mood. The staff is always friendly and even brings out complimentary kimchi and peanuts to start. Their combo prices are incredibly fair (around $20), and each one comes loaded with fresh veggies, ramen noodles, and fish balls. The sauce bar is next level too, with fresh cilantro and green onion, sesame sauce, and chili oil, all ready to be mixed to your taste. Whenever soup season hits (and it's coming up), I instantly start craving their spicy hot pot beef combo!!

The menu isn't big and that works out perfectly as I prefer it this way. It's a pretty small restaurant and from what I understand, gets pretty busy normally. I felt happy to have walked right in. If you're looking for a restaurant with alcoholic beverages, this isn't the place for you as they don't serve alcohol. That wasn't a deal breaker because at this point in my night I needed food. Good food. Good food with good SERVICE. They delivered! I ordered the steam vegetable dumplings and they were sooooooo good! Very flavorful. I will definitely be bringing my foodie buddy here. My entree was Chicken fried rice and it was DELICIOUS! Just the right amount of everything. They didn't skimp on the eggs and I love that. This is definitely a spot I will check out again soon.
