Rank 1. LanZhou Ramen
Chinese Noodle Shop
Hand-pulled noodles are the whole point here, stretched to order and served in broth or dry, inside a no-frills shopping center on Buford Highway. This is a noodle shop that pulls Sichuan dishes into the mix alongside the namesake soups, and the roast duck bowl, bone-in and bobbing with bok choy, tends to stop conversation. A Michelin Selected restaurant with a James Beard semifinalist nod, it draws a serious lunch crowd that knows exactly what it's ordering before it sits down.

Rank 2. Xi’an Gourmet House
Shaanxi Noodle Shop
Hand-pulled biang biang noodles are the point at this counter-service Xi'an noodle shop in Midtown, an offshoot of the original out in Duluth. You order, you grab a paper plate, you find a seat. The cooking leans on cumin and chili in a way that feels more like a region asserting itself than a kitchen showing off. The boiled dumplings, pork or lamb, come by the baker's dozen with a house dipping sauce that does most of the talking.
