Pros: cheap, nice staff, decent soup noodles, dumplings are surprisingly good
Cons: no frills, the wife's stir fried seafood noodles smelled like feet…not doing anything that's not in soup here.
Update: Added a star because of the new updated menu. No more service in plastic tins…they invested in actual bowls. New recipes for rib soup, stir fried noodles have been reinvented and much tastier now. It's far better than my last review. Owner's are making an effort to improve.
The beef tendon and beef soup was just ok, as was the oxtail soup noodle soup. Fried dumplings was a little greasy and not much better than the frozen ones you buy from Asian markets. I don't think they were handmade. I came here because of the good/great ratings but I think it's just good, not great. Service was good and accommodating. Not much ambiance, more like a Chinese take out feel.
Red Mountain being a half mile down Kissena Blvd from Roosevelt Ave isn't as popular as some of the other hand-pulled noodle shops up near the 7 train, but it's just as good. Prices have gone up lately by a dollar or two, due to the noodle craze and inflated prices these days. They're open late until 11pm! These are some hardworking people, so I'm glad to give them my business. You might even score a street parking space so that you can run in to grab your order. Even if you don't order in advance, they can whip up an order in no time flat!
The beef noodle soup is solid and the seafood noodle is pretty good as well. Just be careful of the shrimp. The heads are still on and they have sharp mandibles, when you bite their heads off and shell them. The noodles themselves have the perfect texture and just the right amount of chewiness. The broth is the perfect accompaniment to the noodles, bringing all the flavors together. If the noodles aren't enough of a meal for you, then get an order or two of either steamed or pan-fried dumplings. Everything is made as fresh as can be, so you can't really go wrong with anything you order from the menu.
Every time I tried hand pulled noodles in other restaurants, I wasn't really feeling them. Today I decided to give it one more chance after stumbling upon this restaurant. I was greeted with a smile right away and was given the option to sit anywhere I like.
I observed the restaurant to be small but clean. I ordered the Fresh Pork Hand Pulled Noodles Soup and I really enjoyed it. The chicken broth was not too salty but still had flavor. Pork had flavor as well but I could've done it without the bones. All in all it was a great bowl of soup for a rainy day. I will return in the future.
Oh and it's a cash only joint.
Mad cheap eats and authentic hand pulled/peeled noodles here. Get the fujian wontons, they are tasty and cheap. This place is cheap cheap cheap but well off the beaten path. Also they do NOT take cards. Plus side is that they don't accept tip (weird) and if you spent $10 you'll be stuffed to the brim. Come here if you want street cred.
This place is awesome! In fact, I think their Lanzhou noodles are better than any of the other places in Flushing, including the Golden Mall basement Lanzhou noodle shop. I've had both their "peel noodle" (Daoxiao Mian) and the regular hand pulled noodles… the texture of the noodles are great and the soup is also pretty darn good. Their boiled dumplings aren't bad either. Service is good here too, all the staff are very polite and what sets this place apart from other Lanzhou noodle places? It's tastefully renovated and it feels clean. A winner all around I think.
Parking around here between 5-6 is a pain in the neck with the traffic and the apt complexes!
I got the #1 house special noodles in house special soup (or something along those lines). It was basically hand pulled noodles w/ beef, beef tripe, beef tendon, tea egg and 1-2 lil pieces of choy. The noodles here were a little too chewy. The broth was nice and sweet, but I was really thirsty afterwards (maybe it's the MSG). The tripe, beef tendon, and beef were okay. Some of it had a slightly weird smell/taste to it…which..if it was fresh/correctly treated..shouldn't be the case. Overall, a decent meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way with the parking situation to go here again.
perfect if you just want a cheap, no frills meal. a platter of fried rice for $3.50 and hand pulled noodle soups around $5.00. price includes tax and tip!

Update: I recently went back in March 2013 and noticed that the menu is different. Prices have significantly gone up but there is also more offerings. The noodle soup have gone up slightly, but they are still warming and filling.
