Our rich, slow-simmered beef broth, fresh ingredients, and made-from-scratch recipes deliver the authentic flavors of Northwest China. Whether you're enjoying a classic Lanzhou beef noodle soup or one of our signature noodle dishes, you'll taste the difference that 100% homemade craftsmanship makes in every bite.

The Art of the Pulled Bowl

At the center of our kitchen stands the noodle board. Every order is stretched, folded, and pulled by hand in seconds — you choose the width, from hair-thin to wide belt. The broth beneath it is the slower half of the work: beef bone and whole spices held at a gentle simmer until it turns clear and deep. Add tender braised beef, crisp radish, and a spoon of fragrant chili oil, and the bowl is complete. It is one dish, done the same way for a century, and there is no shortcut in it.

They Love

Our Noodles

The ramen were excellent and a pleasure to watch them made to order, whatever shape, tenderness, or thickness you like. I got the medium, which I guessed is the most popular. The waitress was extremely helpful and pleasant-Thank You! I’m no expert on Ramen, but I have tried several. This was tied with my favorite Zushi in St. Louis which is impressive! The hand made while we watch is very fun!

Amazing halal soup, rice and noodles! This was such a wonderful experience. Staff was friendly and had us seated quickly. All the dishes we had were full of flavor. Highly recommend the lamb skewers, beef soup with flat noodles and fried rice. The flat noodles are authentic and so tasty. Would absolutely come here again!

This restaurant surprised me, it is super authentic and delicious. The flavor is really close to the noodles I had in LanZhou. The soup, and the noodle texture are very delicious. I saw the chef was making the hand pulled noodles through the kitchen window. The hand pulled noodles definitely taste different than the machine made ones. The beef is super good as well. The flavor, the tenderness and the chili oil poured on the top, it is perfect. If you are looking for some halal and northern west style Chinese restaurant, this is the place to go!
