The Story Behind Lanzhou 1915
Since opening in January 2024, owner Zong Li has pursued a mission: “We want to bring the noodles and flavors of our hometown to New York, allowing more people to experience the tradition of our 1915 Lanzhou handmade noodles.” After immigrating from China, Li set out to honor her grandparents, who ran a noodle shop in China where these recipes began. She emphasizes two core values: pride—”providing our customers with the best quality and taste”—and responsibility—”serving our customers with authentic, genuine food.”
