Lanzhou Ramen 兰州拉面

This cozy spot specializes in authentic Lanzhou-style hand-pulled noodles served in an eight-hour beef broth. The original Lanzhou ramen comes with the option of spicy or non-spicy broth, and the beef stew ramen is another standout. Dumplings (18 pieces) and mixed rice round out the menu, and portions are generous for the price point.

The space is small and fills up quickly — expect to wait during peak hours. Service is quick once you're seated, and you'll grab your own drinks from the refrigerator. The plum drink is worth ordering. Sunday hours split into two service windows: 12-4pm and 6-9pm.
