" I have eaten at plenty of noodle shops, but Niu Yi Zui exceeded my expectations! The authenticity of the food reminded me of my trips to China. I tried the erkuan noodles with beef, and they were spot on! The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the textures were just right. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant for a quick meal. I would definitely bring friends and recommend this place to anyone craving genuine Lanzhou noodles. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place surprised me in the best way possible! I wasn't expecting much, but Niu Yi Zui served some of the best pulled noodles I've ever had. I took a chance with their dry hot oil noodles, and they were fantastic! They had that delightful spiciness that kept me going back for more. Plus, the staff was very warm and welcoming—such a lovely atmosphere overall. I highly recommend giving this spot a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon this little gem while looking for lunch in Chinatown. The menu had limited options, so we decided to go for the oil splash noodles. The noodles were chewy and fresh, and the portion size was generous. The only downside was the beef, which wasn't as tender as I'd like. Despite that, the experience watching the chefs prepare the noodles was unique, and the place had a cozy vibe. Overall, I’d give it a 4 for authenticity but a 3 for service due to a small wait. We will return for the noodles alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Niu Yi Zui is a delightful restaurant perfect for noodle lovers! The freshness of the dishes shines through, especially in the handmade noodles. I tried the cold beef noodles this time, which was refreshing and unique. Keeping in mind that they serve meats chilled is part of the tradition in this style, but it wasn't what I expected. I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu next visit for a well-rounded assessment. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I was excited to try Niu Yi Zui. While some aspects were delightful—like the fresh smoke of the hand-pulled noodles—the menu was surprisingly narrow. I ordered the oil splash noodles as recommended, but they were quite bland. The overall dining experience, however, was pleasant due to the staff's sweet demeanor and the clean dining area; I might give it another shot with different menu items. " (*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*)
