" While the atmosphere and fresh noodle-making experience impressed me, the flavors didn't fully meet my expectations. The warm oil splash noodles were nice, but I found them a bit underwhelming in taste compared to what I expected from a Lanzhou noodle shop. The beef was served chilled and left me craving a richer broth. Staff were polite and attentive throughout, which made our visit enjoyable despite the food not being as flavorful as hoped. I'll need a second visit to make a full judgment! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my time at Niu Yi Zui! The noodle dishes are authentic, and while the flavors are sometimes mild, we managed to spice things up thanks to the chili oil provided. The environment was clean and modern, making it a pleasant spot for lunch. I had the beef noodle soup this time, and I would say the flavor was better than average. I will definitely return to try the hot oil noodle next as I've heard great things! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a delightful experience at Niu Yi Zui! The noodles were authentic and reminded me of my travels in China. The beef was served cold, which took me by surprise at first, but it paired well with the hot, spicy noodles. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxing environment. The servers were polite and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high expectations coming in, and while some elements met them, others didn’t. The handmade noodles were absolutely delicious—one of the highlights of the trip for sure! But the broth itself was too plain for my taste. The service was friendly albeit a bit slow. The need for more depth in the flavors left me a tad disappointed, but I can appreciate the culinary art behind it. I would suggest trying it out for yourself, as everyone’s palate is different. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a decent time at Niu Yi Zui. While the service was friendly, I found the food a bit lackluster. The noodles were fresh—no complaints there, but the accompanying ingredients didn’t have much flavor. I hope the menu expands to provide more interesting options! If you’re looking for authentic hand-pulled noodles, this place does deliver on that front, and maybe other choices will impress more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an excellent experience at Niu Yi Zui. The atmosphere was lively with friendly staff and clean surroundings. I ordered the beef noodle soup and it was just delightful! The noodles were perfectly chewy, which is how I like them, and the broth was very comforting. The portions were generous as well—definitely worth the price. My dining partner had the pork burger, and he said it was just as good. I’ll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Niu Yi Zui was an incredible experience! The hand-pulled noodles were made fresh right before my eyes, adding an authentic flair to the meal. I opted for the beef noodle soup, and while the broth was good, I felt it could use a bit more flavor. The service was prompt and the atmosphere was welcoming, perfect for a casual meal with friends. Overall, I’d rate it a solid 4 out of 5 and will definitely be back to try their famous oil splash noodles. " (*Curated Review*)
