What makes Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup
So Special?
At Chopin Noodle House, we hand-pull every noodle to order — just like it’s done in Lanzhou, China.
This is not your typical ramen or pho.
This is Lanzhou beef noodle soup, a culinary tradition from the Silk Road with over 1,000 years of history.
Pulled fresh to order, finished with five signature elements
One,seasoned with slow-cooked beef broth,
Two, Thinly sliced white radish
Three, Bright red chili oil
Four, Fresh green cilantro & Chinese leek
Five, Golden hand-pulled noodles (with multi-thickness options in tradition!)
Our founder, a classical piano teacher, brings both discipline and artistry into every bowl. Because, like great music, great noodles are all about rhythm, balance, and soul.

From Chopin to Lanzhou — The Rhythm Behind Every Bowl
I was born in Lanzhou, a city along China’s ancient Silk Road.
Every morning, the streets fill with the scent of beef broth and the rhythm of pulled noodles slapping the counter.
In my hometown, noodles are not just food — they’re a tradition, an art, and a way of life.
Years later, I came to the U.S. and became a piano teacher.
Chopin became my daily routine. I taught students how to feel rhythm, how to play with emotion. But deep down, I missed another kind of rhythm — the one from home.
So I started Chopin Noodle House.
A place where two rhythms meet:
The precision of classical music, and the soul of hand-pulled noodles.
We serve authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, made fresh by hand every single day —Clear broth, white radish, red chili oil, green cilantro, and Golden hand-pulled noodles.
This is more than food.
It’s my story. It’s my roots.
And now, I share it with you — one bowl at a time.
