Lan Hand-Pulled Noodles

Came at early dinner time.Taste: Slightly below the average, the food did not taste like Xi'an style. But salty for me.Service: mostly self service ( seat yourself, order from QR code). Not bad. But looks like the lady( the owner I guess?) seems to be confused on orders, do not think they can handle orders well when the place gets busy.Just change my mind, cut it to 2 stars. Due to the attitude when I try to get my check.

Avoid. Came here on a whim while visiting Seattle. The weather was cold so we were craving something warm. Have had hand pulled noodles before at other restaurants and they were amazing. We don't really have a location near us so we were excited to try them.Upon entering, there's no where to wait and very limited seating. When you do get to sit down, the first thing we noticed were the rather dirty tables. Should have left then, but we've been to some hole in the wall places with good food so we took a chance. A lot of the menu options were unavailable, including the knife cut noodles. Mind you this was the afternoon so I'm not sure how they were out of most items. One of the guys was making the hand pulled noodles, but never actually saw him cook them. I think he was stretching the same noodles every now and then for show.Paper cups were provided with water and we never got any refills. We ordered via QR code and our food came out in less than 5 minutes. There's no way that was made fresh and it as definitely reheated. Parts of my meat were actually still cold, the bok choy (which was extra $) was so mushy, like it had been sitting in the broth for a long time. The broth itself didn't really have any flavor either. There was a lot of noodles, probably to fill you up, and hardly any meat. The cucumber salad" was just sliced cucumbers that looked very soft and not very crunchy. I didn't finish my dish and my husband only said it tasted fine with all the extra chili "sauce" he added. The sauce was just a bunch of oil missing all of the chili flakes you normally find. Definitely was not refilled. However, maybe half hour later, he ended up throwing it all up and I'm 100% sure it was food poisoning. We definitely won't be coming back if we visit.

Insanely delicious. Saw a travel review about this spot and hiked up the long hill over the highway to get here. Although it was a hike from my hotel the food was totally worth it. I got the hot oil hand pulled noodles with beef and they were absolutely delicious. It's a huge portion!! I will definitely be back if I come back to Seattle. You order via QR code and pay at the end with the waiter. Cute ambiance. 7 tables total. Thanks for having me!

A pretty average bowl of noodles in my opinion. The main things I'd note was that the best was a bit chewy (idk if it was the cut of meat or the way it was cooked), and that the noodles themselves weren't particularly outstanding. The broth was very clear -- that's not necessarily a bad thing (I like a nice light broth!) but worth noting if a strong broth flavor is important to you. It was a filling meal that tasted good, but I would probably not come back here next time I'm a noodle soup mood, or I'd try something else off the menu.

Delicious mom and pop noodle #goodeats that is so close to the convention center. So much flavor and the noodles are hella worth it. There's 3 people totally working the shop and they do their best to accommodate so don't expect the place to move too quickly. It's a good local vibe and I can appreciate that they focus more on the food then bending over backwards for people.

Solid noodles, but I think I might've just ordered the wrong dish so it was nothing mind blowing-ly amazing. I came on a Saturday around dinner time and expected there to be a lot of people inside but it was surprisingly empty. We were seated right away, and service was pretty fast overall. You can see them making the noodles by hand behind the clear screen.I got the three flavor noodle which was a mix of three different sauces over their signature biang biang noodles. It was zha jiang sauce, stewed pork and veggie sauce, and tomato and egg. The menu said it would have the hot oil sauce as well which is why I ordered it but it sadly didn't. The sauces were good but I'll admit it was a tad strange having all three in one since they were all so separate. Since they were also a little liquidy it made it even stranger. My friends ordered the hot oil noodles which looked really good. I'll have to try that next time!Overall, the portions and prices are reasonable especially compared to other popular hand pulled noodle places. I would give it another shot, but can only comment on the three flavor noodle this time around :)

The braised beef noodle soup was good, but the broth was not as flavorful as I would've liked it to be. There was hardly any beef in the noodle soup--I like my protein, and unfortunately Lan Hand-Pulled did not deliver. Noodles were quite good, though--they didn't have thin noodles when I went, so I went with the wide noodles which were springy and tasty.Service was fast, but a bit rushed. This is definitely more of a hole-in-the-wall vibe--it was quite hard to find the restaurant at first!

Came here for early dinner when I was in town. The tables ended up filling up by the time we left. We got the pork & chive dumplings, which were a good size. We also got the pig ears and there was a cold spicy noodle that we got for appetizers as well. We also tried the house special chicken noodle soup, hand pulled beef noodle soup and saozi biang biang noodle. Everything was really good. you can see the chef making the hand pulled noodles the way the tables/kitchen is set up.

[Re-posting: Visited on Dec 30th, 2023] My wife and I had lunch here on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and recommend this restaurant enthusiastically to all readers. After reviewing the menu and talking to the chef/noodle-maker, Janbo, we ordered the Hand Pulled Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Hot Oil Seared Biangbiang Noodles with bok choy, and Pork and Chive Dumplings. First, the atmosphere is casual and friendly. Janbo, who speaks English and Russian, was welcoming, and described how he learned his technique by mimicking his teacher, who only speaks Mandarin. He then happily demonstrated stretching and pulling the noodles by hand; it's fun to watch how he pulls these noodles as long as he can without breaking them. The flat Biangbiang noodles were deliciously chewy and perfectly spiced; I'm definitely getting this dish again the next time. The round hand-pulled noodles served with the Braised Beef noodle soup were perfectly tender; with the light broth and braised beef, it made for a delicious meal! Finally, while the pork and chive filling inside the dumpling was very good, the shell was underwhelming (they're known for noodles after all, not dumplings). Overall, this place is an excellent choice if you are craving delicious hand-pulled noodles! We'll definitely go back here again.

Some of the best authentic Chinese food in Seattle (tastes like home). Pig ear was soooo crunchy and spicy, definitely worth trying. The pork in my pulled noodles was very tender; they're a bit salty on their own, but pair well with the noodles.Restaurant itself is small and quiet, not too many people which is sad considering how good the food is.If you get the chance to, please eat here before they close (4/28/24). I'm not sure why they're closing, but i'm very sad that I only found out about this place today :(
