3+3 Lan Zhou Ramen

Kids love Lanzhou Ramen (this Kennesaw location and another on Buford Highway) because the food is great and there’s a glass window to the kitchen that lets them watch the chef pull handmade noodles. Adults are fans because they can order like a kid in a candy store—with multiple bowls of noodle soups, buns, and dumplings. Their soup dumplings are just as good as Northern China Eatery, and the fried potstickers are a delicious must-have. They come upside-down on the plate to prevent the dumpling skirt from getting soggy, and the pork filling is flavorful enough you don’t need the dumpling sauce they serve with it. The dining room at Lanzhou is large and never fills up, so we’re always able to get a table.
