Definitely a must visit! The only thing better than the food was the customer service. Everything was delicious and flavorful. I recommend getting the fried rice, the soup dumplings and the noodle soup. The portions are large. We both had leftovers to take home.

We heard about this place when it first opened but didn't really feel the need to rush over to try it. I can probably admit the mistake now because we loved Golden Lanzhou bowls. Place is tucked away in a run down plaza and really is out of place. You can tell they really want to stick to their roots of authentic Chinese food. We tried the cucumber appetizer, potato appetizer, Chinese hamburger and the noodle bowl. All very good and I feel like you can't go wrong with most things on the menu. Only downside is your going to spend a decent amount of money here, I don't want to say they are overpriced because your going to get good food, just going to pay the "good food" price especially in a place like Murfreesboro. (Also they give you a lot of food) Excited to go back and try the other things on the menu.

Me and my husband really enjoyed this place! I love how they give you wonton strips with the sauce, so good! I got the Chinese burger and my husband got the beef soup. The soup was plentiful, I ordered the cucumber appetizer as a side and it filled me up. The service is great. Can't wait to come back!

This place was soo good! My boyfriend and I got the soup dumplings, orange chicken, and house beef soup. I got to choose the noodle type and spice level but they gave so much food I wasn't able to finish all of it (and I'm pregnant with a never ending stomach!) and made sure I packed the noodles and soup separately to preserve the quality of the food! The service was outstanding and they were very kind. They topped off my soup with more broth when I was running low and they give wontons as a free appetizer which was really nice. Flavor was great but I know everyone is different so you should definitely give it a try if you like Chinese food! It was all fresh and clearly had a lot of love put into it. Overall would give it a 10/10 and my bf and I have made this our new spot!

Don't let the empty plaza scare you. This place is definitely worth a try. As we walked in, we were greeted by very friendly staff offering us hot water. It's 34F outside today. Yes, please! We ordered the cold cucumbers and potatoes appetizers and devoured it within minutes of getting them. So nice and refreshing. Perfect appetizers before the soup dumplings came to our table. I normally have to lower my expectations a bit for Asian food in the Nashville area, but their soup dumplings didn't disappoint! The meat and soup are so flavorful. It's very comparable to what I get in Houston. The beef noodle soup was also delicious. The noodles were cooked just right with a good amount of QQness. The meat is flaky but a bit drier than I prefer. I'm a bit picky though. Overall, I'm really happy to find a great Chinese restaurant here!

OMG I have not had a meal this great since living in Hawaii. Everything is made fresh and you can tell a high difference in their broth. Very clean taste. My kids and I also had an order of the fried dumplings and pork steamed dumplings. The food is "break yo mouth good" packed full of flava. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone wanting great Chinese regional cuisine

Very traditional beef noodle soup that Lanzhou is known for. I got the wide, flat noodles and really enjoyed them. My husband got the thin round noodles (more like spaghetti noodles) and his were ok. The broth was very tasty! We also tried the homemade pork water dumplings (which were excellent), the tea eggs (I've not had since living in China 20 years ago!), and the cucumber and peanut with celery appetizer. Overall it was a food experience. The staff was very friendly and the food reminded me of all the delicious meals I had in China. If I lived in Murfreesboro, I'd go here all the time but it wasn't good enough to warrant driving from Nashville.

Finally got the chance to try this place yesterday and I thought it was pretty neat. We got here around lunch time on a weekend and it was pretty packed, but we got seated right away and the tech time was pretty awesome for how packed they were. I started off with one of those canned drinks. It was called coco palm. I'm not quite sure what it was, but I thought it was pretty good. Their pork pan fried dumplings were pretty alright here, too. I thought it was fried perfectly and the sauce was pretty good. My favorite thing I tried here was the Chinese hamburger. I tried the beef one and I really liked it a lot. The bun was my favorite thing about it. The bun was cooked perfectly. It was soft and flaky. I've never had it before and I honestly don't think you can get this anywhere in this town, so definitely a must try. As far as the beef soup goes. The noodles are made fresh and they're really soft. The beef itself was pretty tender. If you've never had fresh noodles, definitely a must try. It's hard to eat at places that do fresh noodles these days. In all, I didn't have a bad experience and will probably be back.

Visited June 26, 2024. The time my party of 4 came in, the restaurant had 3 parties of two come in after us, while other parties of two were finishing up their food. The interior setting had plenty of tables accommodating parties up to 6. Any larger will require putting some tables together. The atmosphere and decor reflects Asian elements with a viewing window that allows customers to see their food being prepared. We were immediately provided water but then it seemed like there was a miscommunication between the servers so our order was taken after the other parties. We had to wave a server down to let them know we are ready to order. Other than servers being polite, the service was below par. I will be coming back and hoping for better service because honestly the food was a 9/10. Cons: from the time of ordering it took 40 minutes for the food to come out. The food runner had no idea what food the dishes were other than it being beef noodles. The combo came with extra items which were forgotten about and had to be mentioned. And one side of dumplings came out at the end of our meal (1 hour later) rather than the beginning. Pros: You can taste the quality of the hand pulled noodles. There's plenty of free parking. Also a decent drink selection of canned drinks and bottled beer.
