Ox 9 Lanzhou HandPulled Noodles: Authentic Chinese Noodle Delights in Cupertino

Noodles from China offer authentic taste. They even provide fresh garlic on the side. However, it’s busy on weekends, so be prepared to wait for over 30 minutes for a dine-in experience.

God. I'm still dreaming about these noodles. The portions are gigantic, so I took home half of my plate to eat at lunch the next day, but I couldn't stop thinking about the noodles, so I just ate them that same night. My friends complained about the lack of meat in the dishes, and I agree with them, but the flavors are just amazing. 10/10. The attention was also really good. I definitely recommend this place. It has become one of my favorites.

Very friendly and great service along with good food. We ordered both the langzhu hand pulled noodles which came with thin slices of pork. We also ordered the beef with pickled vegetables which we think has more flavor than the other dish. But both were excellent and the bowls were very large and came to our table a few minutes after we ordered. Service was exceptional with the staff asking several times if we needed anything else. The bathroom was very clean as well. We highly recommend this place.

Really great noodles, especially the wide ones. Loved the lamb chow mein and the chili oil noodles with stewed beef are amazing. Noodles are very long and irregular. Delicious! Admittedly, the one in San Mateo is somewhat better (noodles feel more freshly boiled), but this is a great stop for the area.

Tried Ox 9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles and honestly… solid spot. The thin noodles surprised me super chewy with great strength even though they’re thin. Respect to the noodle puller because that texture was on point. The soup was flavorful and came with that classic Lanzhou level grease, which sounds intense but actually keeps the broth hot and satisfying. Spice level was perfectly balanced not trying to end your day, but just enough to wake up your taste buds. Also tried the thick noodles from the chili oil bowl strong, super chewy, and full of character. Basically the noodle equivalent of someone who works out legs every day. Overall, this place is a legit hand-pulled noodle fix. Great texture, great flavor, great heat. Definitely coming back whenever that Lanzhou noodle craving hits.

Ox 9 in Cupertino is consistent in quality with all other locations I've tried. I always enjoy the Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles for their noodle texture and broth flavor--incredibly soothing and satisfying. Looking forward to visiting this location more as the weather cools down ↕

Feb 2024 update The more I try this place, the more I realize how amazing the food is. Granted I already gave four stars in my Aug 1023 review, but after trying the lamb dishes, wow. Five stars. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aug 2023 We ordered the following: Cold noodles with chicken slices (medium round noodle) and Lanzhou hand pulled noodles (belt wide noodles) You can select the noodle size, which has a big impact on the look of the dish (keep in mind when assessing the pics) and the dining experience. The belt wide noodles are literally the width of a belt. They're delicious but because of the width and length of the noodles, it requires additional handling to eat -- nothing major. But if you're famished, id suggest a smaller noodle for faster eating. The food was delicious. It didn't seem too salty. The ambience was clean but no frills, except for the map of the silk road which was educational. If you like simple yet delicious food (and geography), check out Ox 9.

Their hand made noodles are really good. Soup is also very good. Meat is so so in terms of quality and quantity. Seevice is excellent. Cannot ask more.
