Service was friendly, but at the end of the day it's about the food - which is why the 1 star. What…read morewe experienced were the two worst sandwiches we've ever eaten! The pulled pork sandwich had what seemed to be nearly half a bottle of mustard mixed with a lot of coleslaw and a little bit of smoked pork buried within as though it were a mafia informant that got the cement shoes treatment. The French Dip sandwich also had what seemed to be a half a bottle of horseradish cream sauce... which burned my eyeballs and fumigated my nostrils! I could only take about 3 bites before I couldn't handle the potency any longer. It was literally a horseradish sandwich with a side of weak broth. The abundance of condiments on both of the $25 overpriced sandwiches turned the bread into mush leaving us on the Brink of sandwich hell. The service, however, was good - I was able to get a different sandwich with no questions asked. Sadly I must award you no points for the food, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The maocai was generally fine, and had a similar taste to the old Nine Way, though the meat quality was not as good IMO. However, the appetizer dish that we got which used to be one of my favorites (the spicy garlic pork belly) was awful. I don't know if it was just because it was frozen and thawed or something went wrong with the cooking or maybe it was just raw, but the fat on the pork belly was extremely mushy and honestly had the texture of wax or something. It was truly disgusting and I ended up just having to spit it out. Would not come back here--unfortunately even Noodle Nine is far better than this.

Rooted in a century-old heritage of authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, our craft honors the legendary five signatures: clear broth, white radish, red chili oil, green cilantro and garlic leeks, and golden hand-pulled noodles. We remain dedicated to traditional techniques--hand-pulling each portion of noodles fresh to order and slow-simmering our rich broth to perfection. In early Chinese history, wheat was not used to make noodles. When it was first introduced, the lack of widespread processing tools like stone mills meant people simply steamed or boiled whole wheat grains. Known as "wheat rice" (mai fan), it was considered a coarse, unpalatable meal for the lower class. It was during the Han Dynasty, with the widespread adoption of rotary stone mills, that humanity truly entered the "flour era." Early noodles were called "soup cakes" (tang bing) or "boiled cakes" (zhu bing), though they remained a luxury mostly reserved for the royal court and the wealthy. It wasn't until the Song Dynasty (10th-13th century) that noodles finally crossed social divides. With a booming urban economy and mature flour-milling techniques, noodle shops emerged everywhere, transforming noodles into an everyday staple for ordinary households. Ambiance: Although the restaurant has been open for many years, the interior remains stylish, bright, and spotless. The management keeps everything impeccably clean. With tables for pairs, groups of four, and larger seating for 6-8 people, it caters effortlessly to any dining setup. Taste: Offering what is arguably the most authentic Lanzhou beef noodle flavor, you can customize your noodle thickness to your liking. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful, clearly the result of hours of careful simmering. Highly recommended! Service: The service here is truly outstanding!

The side dishes were delicious. I really love the boiled peanuts. They were very flavorful however, they were super wet. The broth was good for the beef soup. The location is at the corner of a strip mall in Bellevue. Plenty of parking outside and lots of tables inside as well. The only reason I gave it three stars is because I don't really like that kind of noodle soup. The noodles were really thick and dense. You go in and you can order off the QR code at the table.
