1. These are dried noodles, and I prefer these over the soupy kind because I love chewy noodles. The topping of choice was beef and they also give with a side of soup broth. Best part is that it’s free refill.
2. Dumpling was very filling and good quantity for its price. But I prefer the steamed kind.
3. Loved the dumplings. The filling was nice, flavorful, and herby. Must try.
4. Soup has a tomato base very rich and flavorful. This dish is good for two, actually all their main dishes are good for sharing. The noodles are are chewy and bouncy. Highly recommended.
5. Same flavor profile as the beef but with pork toppings. Prefer the beef more though
Lan zhou lamien is famous for its handpulled noodles (as their name suggest). We tried the beef lamien, very tender beef and the serving size is probably good for two. If you go to binondo for foodtrip, suggest to order 1 noodle soup for 2-3pax. Tastes is great!
Lan Zhou La Mien serves the BEST kutchay dumplings!!! It makes me almost angry that not many people know/talk about this. So much better than "the best dumplings in Binondo" many people overrate. Tsk.
Hot, Homey, Cheap and Good.
This restaurant caught our attention because of the amount of people dining in and also my companions were craving for noodles.
In terms of service it was like a typical Chinese restaurant, where you need to wave your hands like a crazy person for the servers to notice you. Although they needed much work with their attentiveness with their customers, the food itself came fast and quick.
In terms of food, the braised beef I ordered was very generous with its toppings and beef, the beef itself was very tender and flavourful. Overall the dish itself was pretty solid. The other noodle dish we ordered was also flavourful and quite tasty, the one thing we liked about the food was it was really cheap.
If you find yourself walking around binondo and looking for a good noodle shop, I'm sure you can't go wrong with this one.
At first, it might seem daunting to choose what to order, but when you have a preference, it's a good start. Since I like bihon noodles, I go for the usual Bihon Soup (with pork) and the classic fried dumpling (it's the best dumpling for me!). Giving it 4-stars because the place feels cramped and sometimes the service is slow.
We were actually choosing between Masuki and Lan Zhou La Mien. This place was definitely the good choice! I can consider this as a hidden gem because when you search about Binondo Food Crawls you won't always see this restaurant listed.
Beef Lamien (P200): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The soup was flavorful and the noodles were very firm! Just the way we like it.
Steamed Dumplings (P120): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yummy yummy! The sauce and the dumplings go so well together. Their dumplings don't have that chinese smell hehehe
Ambiance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We only ordered one Lamien and the staff was very much willing to split the dish in two.
Will we go back? Yes! 😍
Food is delicious. One serving of beef mami is already good for two so we told the waiter to serve it to us in two bowls. There were lots of beef and dumplings. It was really filling.
What we had:
For the main course of the food crawl was La Mien handpulled noodles— strong spicy beef and spare ribs la mien.
What I liked:
Just the right thickness of the noodles, and just the right serving size as well.

Amazing fried dumplings! We had the beef and spicy beef noodles, fried dumplings, and squash hopia. Line here can get long, so be early if you don’t wanna line-up. While this can be seen with the ranks of Wai Ying and Ying Ying, Lan Zhou is a much cleaner and friendly place to eat.
The spicy beef noodles were great, the broth is not so beefy though, it tastes more like mala hotpot soup. It is filled with good amount of lean beef brisket pieces and nuts, among others. It’s kinda nutty, which blends well with the spiciness of the broth. The beef noodle broth on the other hand lacks the nutty element of the soup, it’s more beefy than anything else. Noodles were fresh, definitely, you would know. If you finish the noodles, sobrang dami you can no longer eat. Haha! Or, baka humina na kasi ako kumain.
The fried dumplings were just amazing! Fried to perfection, they have generous amount of scallions and meat which were cooked hot and seasoned well without being overbearing. Best with their black vinegar dip.
Squash hopia were more like sweet potato tikoy wrapped with some thin crispy flour. It’s a good dessert.
I would come back, though best beef noodle soup still goes to Ling Nam for me. But, this is definitely worth a try!
