New in Chinatown: Yummy Lan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House and Jin Wei
Two new joints of note are serving in Philly's Chinatown. The first is Yummy Lan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House (131 N. 10th St.), open for about a month in the old Ho Sai Gai space at 10th and Cherry. Don't get it confused with Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House (927 Race St.) just down the street — it's different owners, but the two are similar in approach menu-wise. While Nan Zhou (an Americanization of Lanzhou, the Chinese city famous for hand-draw noodles) focuses on soups, Lan Zhou also offers a selection of noodle dishes sans broth, topped with clams, beef tendon, pig ears and so forth. Both offer two of our fave starters, however — spicy pig ears and u-toy in oyster sauce. Here's the full menu (JPG). Hours: Sun.-Thu., 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
Also new — it grand-opened today, actually — is Jin Wei at 925 Race, located directly adjacent to (yes!) Nan Zhou. This is a steam-table operation, open for lunch and dinner, offering a selection of four items from the line for a total price of $4. (Yes, we asked twice to make sure this was correct. Four bucks yo.) Looks like the selection will be switching up daily, but today we spied whole steamed blue crabs, fried prawns and mixed veggies in sauce as options.
