It would have to be one of the busiest restaurants on Gouger Street and for good reason - the food is fantastic! Admittedly, the ordering process is slow and cumbersome as you need to line up at a single til which is in the entrance of the restaurant. The food was unreal and the lamb dumplings took my taste buds to an alternate celestial plane - so good!

Super happy. The new restaurant gives a run of the best Lanzhou noodles across the road. In terms of the taste, brilliant. The noodle broth was clear and light and that’s how it’s supposed to be. Noodles were cooked just right and the beef was also really juicy and nice. We also got a serve of the skewers which are well sized for the pricing. Only adjustment I would recommend is evenly marinating the skewers with seasoning as some parts were covered in chilli and other parts nothing. Will be back and currently my favourite lanzhou noodle in Adelaide. It gets super busy so you might need to wait 10-15 minutes during dinner time, but we worth it.

Delicious noodle soup that was a pretty good price. Free extra noodles means you could easily share with a second person and still be full. Will definitely come back to try other soups.

Really good and big portions. Nice chives pockets, eat them while they are hot. Beef stew noodles are really good. Nothing a quick warm soup cant do on a windy and wet day.

1915 Lanzhou Beef Noodles in Adelaide is an absolute gem for authentic hand-pulled noodles! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the noodles have that incredible chewy texture you can only get from fresh hand-pulling. The beef is tender, and the portion sizes are generous for the price. One thing I really appreciate is how quick the ordering process is – you don’t spend ages deciding in front of the reception because the menu is clear and simple, making it easy to pick your favorite quickly. It’s perfect for a fast yet satisfying meal without compromising quality. Highly recommended if you want an authentic Lanzhou noodle experience right here in Adelaide!

At first, I didn’t believe my friends when they said 1915 serves the best beef noodles in Australia. Yesterday, I finally went there for the first time with a friend — and I was completely convinced. The food was outstanding, full of flavour and clearly made with care. The service was polite, attentive, and professional, and the food came out very quickly. The dining environment was comfortable and relaxing, which made the whole experience especially enjoyable. What impressed me most was their thoughtful consideration for customers of faith — they even have a small prayer room available, which is truly considerate and rare to see. Highly recommended. It was a very comfortable and satisfying dining experience, and I will definitely be back.

Its very delicious and they are super kind to provide not only free water but also Jasmine tea. It was a wonderful Halal option for us. We felt warm and happy afterwards.

Short review: shared one lunch dish and a side of dumplings between two and it was delicious, huge portion, and a very reasonable price. Spent $50 overall for a drink, serve or dumplings, and main meal to share. In depth review: My sister and I went here looking for a nice Asian place for lunch and we were so happy! We got the chicken and potatoes and a serve of pan fried dumplings between the two of us, the server warned that the chicken was a big dish but we were not expecting just how large it was. We came in hungry and are big eaters but couldn't manage to fit it all! It was also delicious, we were sad we could not finish it becuase of how amazing it tasted. Would reccoment very highly to anyone looking to share a plate with friends. Very cheap too! Would reccomend getting the amount we got to share with 3-4 people rather than two so that the meal can be finished. The overall vibe and atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxing even though it was quite packed when we went
