    Oh nice, i was disappointed when i saw it was gone from central.

  • +1

    the one in burwood give free noodle-only bowl for kids. I wonder if they do the same.

    • In burwood, Sydney? I go there all the time and didn’t know this

    • i mean if u order one bowl urself u can add one portion of noodle for free, i guess they just take the portion of noodle to ur kids

      • wow I didn't know this, thanks.
        But the usual portion is already fulfilling for me anyway.

  • Are they usually good?

  • +3

    great deal, would hate to know the wait time however

      "Any vegan option"

    Is this the same chain as Lanzhou Noodles or another chain also selling lz noodles?

    • -1

      not sure which other chain you're referring to. But this is 1915 Lanzhou Beef Noodle

      • maybe mention that in title?

      • +8

        I call BS. How could you work in marketing for this business and not be aware your major competitor is the very similarly named 1919 Lanzhou Beef Noodle

      • +4

        Thanks, I was thinking of Master Lanzhou Noodle Bar.

      Does halal meat cost more?

      • Because of additional certification costs yes.

      • Yes, the certification comes at a cost which is without a doubt passed on to consumers.

        • +3

          the cost is so minor and insignificant, that I wonder why people bring it up. it might raise the price by 1 cent a kilo, if that

    • +11

      I'd love to know what this brutal manner you're talking about is, because in Australia the animal is stunned before it's slaughtered unless it's Kosher.

      The only difference between halal and any other meat is it uses a reversible stunning method, so in theory if the cow wasn't dead a minute later from bleeding to death it would continue to live once the stunning wore off.

    • +10

      There is no scam, and it's not "ripping off" anyone.
      The certification process exists to bring a standard to the act.
      Kosher certification has requirements as well, in terms of food preparations, and obviously, the requirements are enforced through an inspector who will charge money for their time and issue the certificate.

      The idea behind Halal, is that a human does not have the 'right' to take the life of an animal.
      It's God's permissibility for taking the life of the animal, for food purposes,
      so you must say a God's blessing as you slice the jugular vein of the animal.
      It's a respect and mercy shown in the action.
      The knife MUST be sharp (as prescribed), otherwise it's wrong already.
      The blood needs to be drained.
      There is no electricity, shock, stun guns, drowning etc… involved unto the animal.

      This is the gist of the Halal procedure.
      The thing is, in abattoirs and with mass production, I think the "blessing" is just played in the background as an audio recording, while the person slicing the vein cuts the jugular of the chicken, cow, etc…

      Many non-Muslim countries practice this method of killing the animal, ie. cutting the jugular, except they don't say any blessings. I had a Coptic Orthodox colleague, who told me that the meat even tastes better, if the animal is killed in that 'humane' way of slicing at the jugular, and draining the blood.

        A standard to the act that isn't required and only serves to appease to the loud minority.

        • +4

          You don't have to, this option wasn't meant for you.

    • +12

      Abhi deshwal, wonder if you're from a certain country that still practice human segregation based on castes and social status?

  • +3

    All i know is that it's delicious for me as a chinese.

  • +1

    Is it $0 if you come on Day 0?

    • +1

      Day -1 they pay you.

    • +1

      User name checks out. How about pay me $1 the day before opening 🤣

  • @kimliew is there a full menu you can share?

    • Here's the menu of a "1915 Lanzhou Beef" store in Box Hill, Melbourne, VIC

  • +1

    @kimliew Which noodles are included in the promotion?

  • +4

    for those curious, Lanzhou is city in China with a very long and interesting history running back well over 2000 years. It has historically been a melting pot of different ethnicities, which includes the Hui ethnic group which are predominantly muslim.

    Lanzhou noodles are one of their most famous exports, not just across China but increasingly across the world. I also recommend trying BiangBiang noodles, I think there are two stores with the name Biang Biang in the CBD

  • Looks like the firies are here 🚒🔥

    Current queue length. Haven't started moving yet

    Edit: Still no movement as of 10:34. Queue has tripled.

    • +2

      it starts at 11am, so won't move until at least then

      • Ah good point. Could've sworn this morning Google Maps said they open at 10am!

        • Let us know what is included. Seems like the promoters can't even answer this simple question and whether its limited to the first 100 customers?

          • @deskii: I haven't seen them turn anyone away yet. All they've said is that it's the $14.90 bowl of noodles with no modifications. They're preparing the bowls en masse and so you just pick one up from the counter after paying.

        • Ah, turns out I wasn't crazy! They only updated the Google Maps info later on.

  • +4

    My review:

    Broth was decent, but the thin noodles themselves were disappointingly bland. They didn't absorb the broth flavours, making the dish feel unbalanced. The texture was there, but the overall taste experience fell short. I've preferred Master Lanzhou previously.

    • Looks like the standard portion, surely can't complain for $1!

      • Oh yeah portion was fine. Taste wasn't there tho. Def good for a buck but wasn't worth the wait nor would I return.

  • +3

    Equally long queue today.

    • +2

      Just under 2 hours.
