In business since 1954, this place has locals flocking here for steaming bowls of the city's most well-known export: spicy hand-pulled noodles. Join the queue inside the door and ask for niúròu miàn (牛肉面). You'll be given a ticket, which you take to the kitchen counter where chefs will prepare your noodles fresh. Grab chopsticks from machines at the ticket counter.
Go early, as noodles are traditionally a breakfast food in Lanzhou.
