About
Located in Kabukicho, near Shinjuku-Sanchome and Higashi-Shinjuku stations, this restaurant serves beef ramen from Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China. It is the Japanese branch of "Ma Zi Lu," a long-established restaurant founded in Lanzhou in 1912 and recognized as a "Chinese Time-Honored Brand" by the Chinese government. Following the Jimbocho branch which opened in 2017, the Shinjuku branch opened in 2025. The Japanese branch was started by Mr. Seino, who trained at the original Lanzhou restaurant.
— Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodles
The signature dish is Lanzhou Beef Noodles, featuring a clear broth made by simmering beef and beef bones with medicinal spices, paired with handmade noodles. The noodles are made to order by artisans who stretch the dough, and you can watch the process right before your eyes. You can choose from nine different noodle thicknesses, from the thin, somen-like "Mao Xi" to the extra-thick, flat "Da Kuan" and the triangular "Soba Reng." Among them, the thicker triangular "Coarse Soba Reng" is a unique Japanese noodle that doesn't exist in China. This dish inherits the Lanzhou style while also incorporating unique Japanese noodles.
