Lanzhou Ramen （樂家) — Restaurant in Milan

[Good ramen and average boba tea]

This charming shop offers a wide variety of dishes and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.  They offers lots of noodle shape to choose from which is quite interesting I find.

The Ramen - 7/10: The ramen was well-executed, with tender and crispy meat and a flavorful broth. The noodles were cooked to perfection, with a nice chewy texture.

The best Michelin star restaurant who serves authentic Italian food had a Polish headchef. And the best Restaurant I ever ate Thai food, the headchef was Vietnamese.

Do not judge a book by...

The area where this restaurant is most unsatisfying is unfortunately the core one: the food. I ate there and I chose a Hanzhou ramen, which was extremely poor. The broth was watery and flat, the meat was chewy, and overall the dish was extremely poor. I am used to Lanzhou Ramen that is flavorful with a rich broth and a variety of ingredients. The two dimsum we sampled were ok, but a bit lacking in character. The service was good, and the space was nice and comfortable, with a...
