The one bowl to order

Hand-pulled noodle soup with beef, and the pork-and-cabbage dumplings

The line to expect: A short wait at peak times; cash is handy.

A tiny, grape-vine-ceilinged Haymarket room pulling noodles to order since the 1990s.

Lanzhou hand-pulled beef noodle soup

Lanzhou hand-pulled beef noodle soup

4 hr (1 hr hands-on) · 4 bowls. Lanzhou's rule is one clear, two white, three red, four green: clear broth, white radish, red chili oil, green herbs. Hand-pulling takes practice; hand-cut noodles from the same dough work fine.
