The Lanzhou noodle hype is real and affordable! Stopped by on a weeknight with three people and the wait was about 15 minutes, which wasn't too bad especially since we could watch the chef make the noodles by hand. It was a small place so it's best for group of 4 or less.
I got the Beef noodle in soup in the second thinnest round noodle - $8 for the regular size was plenty to be full. Noodles were springy, toppings were generous, chili oil was on point, and the soup was flavourful but not overbearing. Service is efficient and interiors were clean with no-frills but that works for a place like this. A great addition to the Dundas/Bay neighbourhood - will definitely be back for more.
