When my bestie Pat asked me whether I want to try dry Noodles, it took me less than a second to answer with an up and down head node. He straightaway took me to Lanzhou and ordered the Special Beef Noodle under Dry Noodles. Before we get into detail with the food, let's talk about the restaurant ambiance and other things. I fell in love with the color combination of Green and White. The seating is perfect and has utilized the space properly. However, the high chair seats which run in parallel with the walkway could have been avoided as it makes it hard to walk around when people have bags on their shoulders. The interior is maintained well, loved the green theme, and it is well-lit inside except for the seating. The staff is amiable. It was my first dry noodles, and it was lip-smacking. Not too spicy yet flavorsome. You get to choose your noodles type and spiciness level. Don't forget to check their 'specials' window near the cash counter. Last time it was pork ears. I have tried Cucumbers and Mixed vegetables too. Couple of things I wish was a bit different; first, EFTPOS minimum is $25, which is a bit old fashioned in this time. I know there are a lot of ATMs around, but it's an inconvenience. The pricing is perfect but could have been better if they lower it down to $12. The seating may seem a bit tight-packed at times, and you can't complain much as there is a campus next door. I hope they are going to expand the restaurant to a more prominent place or do some rearrangement of seating. PS: If you are into noodles, then this place is a must-try. They have many outlets across Melbourne, and I wish all the very best. PPS: I am visiting them for lunch right after posting this review. Love to recommend this place to all of my friends out there.

Quite a comfortable location near Monash University. The decor is quite nice and modern. The food was also quite great and for a great price as well. Probably the cheapest meal for hungry university students as the portion size is great.

Highly recommend the cold dry peanut noodles. They're a great value for the price!

The noodle is not even well cooked, texture is still hard to eat. So as the radish. Not even half good as Chadstone’s beef noodles. This should not be the level of Melbourne’s lanzhou noodle, very disappointed!! Won’t come ever again!!!

One of my favorite restaurants in Chadstone SC..when hesitating what and where to bite, it is always right to hop into this beef noodle restaurant. Having a noodle soup is just like having a revenge, which tastes much better when cold.

Dropped by on a Monday night and picked up some takeaway, the service was quick and friendly, and food was tasty. They have some combo deals which are pretty good value, and they accept Liven Pay.

Tasty and authentic broth, well hand-pulled noodles, nice beef, fresh scallion, proper amount of chili oil makes the dish a bowl of fabulous tastes. However the radish does not taste very well, and the chili oil is to HOT and SPICY! After all, it has the best Lanzhou Beef Noodle I can find in Australia.

A great lunch spot. The beef broth is nice and clear, very generous with the noodles and condiments. Chili is nice and hot but you can get without.

Staffs are really friendly They also have loyalty card program, you can get 3 different reward within 10 meals. I think is free drink, free veggie dish and free bowl of noodles depending on how many bowl you ate Taste is also pretty good. I cannot see much of problems here

I love Lanzhou Lamian. The soup base is rich and delicious, you can customise the noodles by width and texture and the price is very reasonable for generous serves. Absolute winner for a casual dinner.

I had the signature beef dry noodles for the first time and it was absolutely delicious! Their hand-pulled noodles are the best and their service was excellent. I especially enjoyed their beef as they were big chunks. The beef was so soft that I can easily pull them apart; the flavours were of the beef amazing too. It was a clean, nice and quiet noodles restaurant that I would recommend to anyone who likes Chinese noodles!

One of my favourite noodle shop franchise. Price reasonable. Service was friendly. Decor was modern. Food was delicious. We had the Signature Homemade Beef noodle soup and the Special beef dry noodle. The broth from the Signature noodle soup was rich and packed with flavour, beef was tender, noodles had a good chewy texture and the coriander for garnish made the dish had a good fresh taste to it. The Beef dry noodle I highly recommend, noodles with same good chewy texture, topped with tender beef, coriander and their homemade chilli oil. I highly recommend their homemade chilli oil, it pairs really well with the dry noodles. And we had a lamb skewer for snack, it was just average.

quick and polite service tonight! great food and i loved how you could pick noodle options. would come back for sure ❤️🥰

Expertly made noodles available in a range of thicknesses. Dry and soup noodle varieties are all delicious and a wide range of side dishes are available. This restaurant is a regular haunt of my family and it comes highly recommended.

The noodles were amazing. I purchased the noodles, side dish and drink combination for roughly $20, a super good deal! Friendly staff, quick food and a delightful lemon drink. The cucumber salad was also refreshing for a hot day. 谢谢你!

I love the wide noodle here. Give a freshly made vibe and the broth is very authentic Chinese style.

always delicious ! would definitely come back next time 😀

Had second worse experience at here, the worst one is at chadstone. Both reason is inexperienced and rude staff, they all student like part time staff. The dishes is ready in 1 min, the carrots are not ripe and the noodles are hard. Had stomach issues so I told her and she asked the kitchen to remake one, but attitude is dismissive and can hear her complaining with the kitchen… the remade food come out with chili… and when first order she checked with me that I want no chili…. Very disappointed experience at here, had good experience at other Lanzhou place at city tho

Great noodles! One of my go to places!

Very great food and experience. Definitely recommend to everyone for the price

Had a great experience, tasty food and quite filling. Great service and very helpful with the recommendation, but felt a big stingy with the meat. Otherwise overall great experience.

One of my fav noodle restaurants. Very delicious beef noodles.

I’ve never had such bland, watery noodles with such a small amount of meat in my life. Make at least some effort with the broth!!

Very nice noodles. Great taste

The Caulfield location is one of the most efficient Lanzhou locations with a cosy atmosphere. The signature handmade noodle soup is always consistent (chili also) and the staff always serve you with a smile. The diner is not the biggest space so seating can be somewhat limited but there always seems to be a table as patrons come and go

I'm a regular here and really love Lanzhou noodles. However, would like to flag that the noodles don't appear to be handmade. The texture is too consistent and the chewiness feels not that of handmade noodles. The CBD branch's noodles are definitely handmade. I'm really hoping they can fix this because the rest of the dish is so delicious, just need the right noodles!

The Master Lanzhou in the CBD on Elizabeth St is MUCH better. Not sure why this one was so bad. The noodles were cold upon serving and had a massive pile of oil at the bottom with hardly any flavour. CBD is a 5 star. This only got two because the service from the workers was friendly.

Fairly consistent for last few years. Noodles seem to lack a bit of elasticity in its "handmade" nature compared to Chadstone but the broth combo is definitely fuller. Overall, very satisfying and more so than chain stores in East Vic.

Really fresh and yummy. Always come to here for a dinner. Recommend to everyone!

I got the braised beef noodles. The noodles were quite chewy, the soup base was really nice too. I also ordered a tea flavoured egg, but was a bit disappointed, it tasted just like a plain boiled egg. The restaurant takes liven so you get a discount. Highly recommend their noodles. Not sure about other dishes though.

Good customer service and great noodles! A must try

Yum. Staff are friendly & helpful to cater my Cantonese accense.. Beautiful hot beef soup base. Place is clean & orderlly. We ordered their signature noodle. Yum & YUM. Lose a star only because I thought 13.50 is a bit dear for a bowl of noodle in a quick eat place. Probably can earn the star back by giving few more slices of beef

The food was good but not great the beef portion they had given was so tiny and not worth the price but fresh food

Lanzhou noodle is always a good bowl of noodle to have. Not super good but is definitely goot to enjoy

For some reason the soup at this place is not as good at other franchises. The smell in the store is very heavy too. The store is small and get crowded at peak time. But they pack their take away very tight and organize.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed it a lot since I was craving a nice beef noodle soup but it wasn't objectively great.

I drove a long way here and was a little bit late - they were just closed. But the waitress was so nice. They made an exception and still served me. Thank you so much. Noodles here are so yummy. I hope people who gives anything less than 5 understands that this is very authentic Beef Noodles.

Good location, near Monash university. The staff was quite friendly and explained the different options available at the restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious.

This place is amazing! This is written bye my daughter,this made me remember a place that was special to me. I recommend it!

The broth here is very nice. Pleasant and tasty. Very authentic. I always have the wide noodle here.

The beef noodle is super yummy and the lamb skewers is a must-try! Very nice! Easy to park around and will definitely recommend to my family and friends!
