| - We had lunch here at around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday 18 January 2018 and the place was spotless. The decor was excellent and authentic. Jimmy, our waiter was polite and prompt. We both ordered the Traditional Lanzhou Beef Noodle. You have a choice of the thickness of the noodles, and we both picked the same, rather on the thick side. My husband liked it but next time I'll order noodles less thick. To me they tasted a bit doughy, however the broth, the vegetables and beef were excellent. It is a bit pricey but I think it was worth it. There was a wide screen television showing authentic Chinese cooking recipes being prepared which was a lot better than most other restaurants showing CP24! The reason I only gave a 4 star was because of the restaurant's background music. It sounded like someone playing a Glockenspiel Xylophone, and it just kept repeating and repeating. I asked my husband if that was a traditional tune from China, and he laughed and said no. He said it was the song "The Sound of Silence" from the movie The Graduate. Listening to it, I realized it was that tune! However it just kept playing, so it got kind of annoying. I can imagine how Jimmy and the rest of the staff feel, listening to that all day long! However, we will definitely go back.
