Lanzhou
This very handy branch of the famed Mazilu Beef Noodles is a chopstick's throw from the train station, serving up simply delicious and very filling spicy hand-pulled noodles (拉面, lāmiàn). Ask for niúròu miàn (牛肉面), pay the employee and take your ticket to the kitchen window at the back, then sit down and enjoy.
Noodles with extra beef is ¥16, ask for 加肉牛肉面 (jiāròu niúròumiàn).
