Good Food reviews a Chinese noodle restaurant known for its quick preparation of Lanzhou noodle soup and other noodle dishes. The Hui people have been making this type of noodle soup for thousands of years. At the restaurant, chefs hand-pull noodles into nine different thicknesses right in front of customers. Diners can choose from soups with herby broth and sliced beef or dry noodles topped with tender lamb rib. Customers are advised to mix in the spicy sesame oil immediately upon receiving their meal to prevent sticking. The menu also includes fluffy beef and onion buns and icy honey hawthorn tea for a palate cleanser.
