Lan Ramen

Lan Ramen is more than just noodles. Northwestern China was the starting point of the silk road, the ancient trade network connecting the Eastern world. To all our culinary delight, that role resulted in a perfect fusion between Chinese and other cuisines, particularly Middle Eastern cuisine. Lan Ramen draws on that rich heritage, with authentic dishes such as crispy baby lamb chops with fermented sweet rice wine, griddle cooked spicy beef & chicken pots, and sweet baby lily bulb with wood ear mushrooms, carrots and celery.

Watching ramen noodles being made is a mesmerizing experience. The large log of dough is rolled out, it’s twisted and turned, and next thing you know, it’s turned into hundreds of tiny strings of noodles. And now, Princeton, NJ residents and visitors will be able to enjoy these authentic delicacies without hopping on a flight to China, with the opening of Lan Ramen at 4 Hulfish Street.
