Ox 9 Lanzhou HandPulled Noodles

Great food, fast service, and clean & efficient restaurant. Been coming here since it opened and it is always a pleasure coming back to.10/10 would recommend

My husband and I were craving some noodles- we both got the Lanzhou beef noodle soup- both bowls were delicious. He got it spicy with regular sized noodles, and I got wider noodles, not spicy. Tasted like two different bowls of noodles and both were delicious.Service was great and very clean.

I came in a fairly large group. The restaurant has limited seating, so we waited almost an hour, for lunch on the weekend. Once we were seated, we received our beverages quickly. Our food also came out very quickly after we ordered.I ordered the classic Lanzhou handpulled noodle soup, with regular noodles. It was a generous portion and I wasn't able to finish all my noodles. The broth was fine, and there were a few slices of beef to balance out the carbs. The noodles themselves were definitely the star of the show, very chewy with good flavor. I was grateful that the dish was on the mild side and not too spicy!The lamb skewers made a fantastic shared plate and welcomed protein add-on to the meal.

This place has been on my list for quite some time! Who doesn't love a variety of noodles???They have 6 types of noodles. 3 round and 3 flat. All different thicknesses. They don't differ in price either! I ordered the large flat with the Chinese Beef Noodle soup. The soup is perfect for a cold winter day. There is a lot of flavor in the broth. I personally thought the beef was a tad bit overcooked, but I still finished it. I also ordered it with the Chinese pickles which added a nice sour offset to the salty broth. I would definitely come back here to try their dry noodles! So yummy.

If you're looking for some hearty, hand pulled noodles with delicious and hearty broth, this is your place. Walked in at noon on a Sunday and the place was packed. We added ourselves on the waitlist and honestly didn't really wait more than 15 minutes. I came with a party of three and we decided to only order two noodle dishes because we weren't super hungry. We ordered the Lanzhou Hand pulled noodle dish and braised beef and Chinese pickle dish. It was a great call because it was more than enough! When you sit down, there's a barcode you can scan to explore the menu and place your orders. Service will be ready to bring cups and waters to you. Interior is lovely and the tables are well spaced. Please give this place a try if you're in the Mountain View Area!

Was craving hand pulled noodles and decided to give this place a try. They have a QR code to scan to place your order or you can place with the worker. I got the beef noodles with Chinese pickled vegetables. You get to pick your own noodle thickness and they have a chart that helps guide how thick they are. The noodles are really good and have the perfect amount of chew. The soup and beef is really flavorful as well. I wish they had more onions and cilantro though as that really helped marry the flavors. The chili oil wontons were not for me. They are on the sweeter side and not spicy at all. It seems to be a different chili oil than what is provided at the table. The table chili oil is really tasty and spicy. But the ones in the wontons are completely different. It's a pretty small restaurant with limited seating. But there seemed to be a steady stream of people dining and you get your food pretty quickly.

I wasn't too thrill to see plastic cup for water because of not environmentally friendly. Lanchou noodle - Texture was excellent and I ordered medium round. Chewy. And the soup has good flavor but not rich. I order mild spicy and they just added chili sauce. The soup for the 紅燒牛肉麵is much better.

We had a fun time at Deer Hollow and worked up an appetite for lunch so we finally tried this place that had been on my to-eat list for years. Little did I know they have multiple locations in the south bay. We were seated right away on a Sunday because we squished into a table for two. It isn't a large place so be prepared to wait if you want a table for 4. I ordered the popcorn chicken, stewed pork ribs noodle, and the chicken fried noodles. I love thick noodles so I went for the biggest they had. My toddler loved the popcorn chicken and even though my pork soup was spicy, he loved the noodles. The soup was spectacular- reminded me of a Mexican pork stew my grandma used to make. You can really taste all the spices and the difference with the noodles. We were also impressed with how quick the service is. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We ordered online at our table and the food came out right away. They also pack your leftovers up. Exceptional service and you get a lot of food!

Parking was pretty easy to find in the plaza.This place has been hyped up by all of my friends. Gotta say, didn't live up to the hype for me.We got seated pretty easily and quickly.I try to limit my consumption of red meat so opted for the cold noodles with chicken slices. My boyfriend got the lanzhou hand pulled noodles.My boyfriend's noodles had great texture and the soup was flavorful. He said the meat was tender.My noodles were ok. The sauce was nice and flavorful, the chili sauce wasn't very spicy. The chicken was soooo dry. It was like eating jerky. I tried to rehydrate it by tossing it into the sauce more, but it didn't help.It's my belief that if it's on the menu, it should taste good. So yes, this place specializes in their beef dishes, but if they're going to have chicken on the menu, they need to ensure that it meets quality and taste standards.Probably wouldn't order the chicken here.

Very delicious; cool experience. I tried the hand pulled noodles in chili oil and the flaky bread appetizer. The noodles, doused in chili oil, are lovely, though they were served warm, not hot, which was a bummer for me, as I prefer hot food. I suspect warm or room temp is the traditional style and not an accident, since the seasoned egg was served hot in the dish. The bread was absolutely amazing, pieces of crispy fried bread imbued with flavorful chili paste. Thai iced tea was the perfect creamy, sweet drink to counterbalance the salty, spicy dishes. I loved the way they made this accessible to non-Chinese customers. Great ease of ordering with QR code. It's so helpful to have the menu labeled with vegetarian notations.
