If you haven’t eaten at Northwest Chinese Food yet, you’re high key missing out. They’re known for their incredible knife cut noodles, but they also offer Chinese “Burgers” + other noms. Here’s a summary of everything Deke and I had during our visit:
- Lanzhou Combination Mo ($7.50) – this Chinese “burger” was an absolute delight. This creation’s made with potato slices, egg, and spam, all tucked inside a crispy and thin homemade bread. The balance between the filling and the bun was perfection, with each bite delivering a burst of flavors and textures. The yum spicy sauce refined the experience, making it an unforgettable treat. A solid 10/10 recommendation!
- Hot Oil-Seared Noodles ($10.50) – Northwest Chinese Food has earned its reputation for their knife-cut noodles, and this dish is a testament to their expertise. Served with hot oil, garlic, spices, and a delightful tomato and egg addition (for an extra $3), these noodles are a spicy lover’s dream. For an added kick, we doused our plates in generous amounts of their flavorful chili oil, which took the flavor profile to new heights.
- Lamb Noodle Soup ($19.50) – This bowl of perfection is pure comfort for the soul. This comes with knife-cut noodles, vermicelli, tender lamb, tomatoes, and a variety of mushrooms, and the soup’s hearty and satisfying. I personally like adding chili oil to level up the spice, BUT make sure you sip the soup as is first to fully appreciate the broth.
