Reviews
I got the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup with Wide Flat Noodles and it was quite good! Better than expected too. I know, I know, the reluctance is showing, ha. The flavor of the soup wasn’t groundbreaking, but it was quite pleasant, light, and I couldn’t help but keep sipping, one mouthful after the other. Candidly, I can see myself craving this during a rainy day or when I get sick. The noodles were also chewy, wide, and just hit the spot. Disclaimer: I’m a huge fan of wide flat noodles, and they did a really good job here!
Our table also ordered XLB and pan-fried dumplings to share. Both were above average and hit the spot. Overall, if I’m in the area again, I would totally come back again.
Yes! Let me say upfront if you want authentic handmade noodles, Lan Noodle is the place to go.
I walked in and immediately saw the cook pulling noodles like he’s training for an arm-wrestling tournament. Thirty years of noodle mastery in one pair of forearms. You can smell the dough, hear the slap of noodles hitting the counter, it’s got this alive feeling, like the kitchen is mid-performance and you just walked in on the good part.
Braised Beef Noodle Soup
The broth is clear, light, and clean, simmered for hours with beef bones and aromatics. It’s not aggressively salty, not heavy, not greasy. Think soothing rather than punch-you-in-the-face. This is the kind of broth where you take a sip first before touching the noodles.
The beef is slow-braised until it’s fork-tender, but it still holds shape. Not shredded, not dry, just soft enough to pull apart with chopsticks. Very classic, very traditional.
Then you’ve got cilantro, green onions, daikon, all there to keep things fresh and balanced. Nothing feels random. Every element has a job.
Lan Noodle’s noodles are hand-pulled Lanzhou-style wheat noodles from Northwestern China, and the big thing is texture. These aren’t soft, floppy noodles that disappear the second they hit hot broth.
They’re springy, elastic, and chewy in a deliberate way.
They also offer multiple shapes. Thin, medium, thick, and wide. Each one changes the experience. Thicker noodles soak up more broth and oil, thinner ones feel lighter and faster. Same dough, different personalities.
Also in many restaurants that use lesser quality noodles, that stick together, LAN noodle’s noodles don’t. They really feel fresh and high-quality.
The server is super nice and efficient. You’re in and out in a jiffy!
Date Spot?
Not for a first date. The server leaves you alone unless you flag him down to get something. But you’re in and out too fast to really talk and get to know your date. So, this one’s for family, friend or significant other.
Group Spot?
The spot is a little small, though they have some seating outside. I’d say 10 max at this place, so they have room to serve others.
Final Verdict
Lan Noodle is one of those places that doesn’t need hype. The food does the talking. If you love hand-pulled noodles, just go. You’ll get it.
Will be back when I need that handmade noodle fix!
Best part was choosing noodle size (back of menu). They’ll give you descriptions with images of what the noodle is like. I loved that added touch.
The noodles were definitely homemade with perfect imperfections that soak up the flavor of the beef broth. I got the thin long noodles but try it for yourself!
Finished with hot tea.
Perfect for a cold rainy day in April!
This is a solid noodle joint in Arcadia. They are in the same plaza behind Capital Seafood. There is plenty of parking. The menu is pretty simple. The tough part is deciding which type of noodle to get! They range from thin to wide to round to hand-cut.
My eating partners thought the beef noodle soup was pretty solid. They do give a lot of green onion and cilantro. After tax and tip, the beef noodle soup was like $20. I got the sesame liang pi, which was slightly spicy. The serving size is a good portion. I think it’s very filling per person.
I’d come back to try their appetizer dishes, like the sliced beef and pig ears.
They specialize in beef broth noodles and serve it in a variety of style of noodles. I prefer the flat, wide variety.
The broth is rich and tantalizing. You can choose how hot you wish to have it, which changes the taste you’ll get.
Get some vegetable appetizers to help quell your hunger before the noodles show up.
Great for a quick lunch or on a chilly day. Superb quality and friendly service.
I ordered my food to go, but when I opened it, there was a really foul smell. The noodles and soup both had a strange odor. I only managed to eat a few spoonfuls because the taste was just not good at all.
Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience, and unfortunately, I won’t be returning.
