Dun Huang — Restaurant in New York

Delicious appetizers, bbq, and especially the noodles. The noodles tasted amazing. The place was clean and very open. Not much notes on decor.

Appetizers, we got "mouth watering chicken". It was delicious, sweet and slighty spicy cold chicken just hits the correct spots. Really did make your mouth water.

Ordered the "Signature Lan Zhou Beef Noodles." The hand pulled noodles were nice and bouncy. The broth was packed with great flavor. My advice would be asking for more spicy and some vinegar, and your experience will sky rocket.

BBQ was delicious. Ordered the lamb, chicken wings, and potatoe. The lamb was spiced with flavor and cumin. Chicken wing was juicy and cumin. Potatoe was disappointing, it was floppy and cumin. Everything in the bbq had so much cumin, so be careful, cause I was coughing a lot from all the cumin.

Now the reason it was a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating. The price. I would say that the price was at least 50% more than other noodle shops at this caliber. I wouldn't mind paying the extra for just the noodle at this location, but everything else is very debatable. Appetizers was delicious and had a lot of flavor, but it was such a small plate the size of my hand for 10 dollars. But the worst offenders were three drinks and bbq. The Chinese drinks were store bought 1 dollar cans, priced 3.50. The bbq lamb were 4 sticks of 4 lamb nibbles for 10. 2 chicken wings for 5. And 6 thin slices of floppy potatoe for 2 .50.

Overall, the place was delicious but expensive. If you want a close enough authentic Chinese noodle experience, the noodles and appetizer are worth it if you don't mind the higher cost. I wouldn't recommend the drinks or bbq due to their...

Dunhuang is one of my favourite restaurants in the area -- I often order takeout for a nice bowl of noodles after work, but occasionally stop to dine-in with some friends in the area.

My go-to order is the braised beef noodle soup 紅燒牛肉麵 -- I like getting the really thick noodles, but they have a few sizes to suit your taste. The broth is fragrant and savoury without being too heavy/oily, and the chunks of beef are plentiful and delicious -- so tender and juicy. Portion size is very large and is a fantastic value for the price.

The classic lanzhou beef noodle soup 蘭州牛肉麵 is a great choice too -- I like the clear simplicity of the broth, which is light but carries the rich beef flavour very well. The beef slices are really flavourful and cooked to a perfect softness. Also, the zhajiang noodles 炸醬麵 is a particular favourite; the pork sauce is so generous and yummy, and the fresh, sliced cucumber is a lovely texture and flavour contrast.

I also like getting some of their skewers when in a larger group -- the cumin can be a bit much at times haha but I'm a big fan of the beef and the potato skewers.

Price point is really great -- portion sizes are large and when I order takeout, it's usually enough for ~1.5 meal's worth of food haha. Service is prompt and unassuming, and the restaurant itself is...

We tried this place on a Friday afternoon for lunch during their soft opening. Walked in to a moderately busy restaurant with plenty of seating. Interiors are minimalistic but fresh, and high ceilings makes the place look very industrial.

Attentive set of staff came to our table right as we were seated, and we ordered a hot appetizer Silky Wide Glass Noodle ($8.50) and Fresh Hand Pulled Noodles - Spicy Oil Spill Noodle ($13.99). We were warned that the Silky Wide Glass Noodle will be spicy - but we could easily handle the spice.

Food overall was absolutely brilliant - one of the best Chinese I've had in the US! Noodles were absolutely fresh - slightly on the chewier side which I like. The Spicy Oil Spill Noodle was delicious and had a very distinct taste to it (a good one!). Bok Choy was cooked to perfection, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

I hope they keep up their quality and service, both of which were absolutely wonderful during our visit. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to have a very flavorful...
