Really large portions, great value. Dumplings are pretty big and meaty. Flavor of the dumplings is on the bland side, but they do have a lot of meat and are very traditional. Lots of protein in their noodle bowls, they really do not skimp. Great and filling meal for the price in a no frills dine in experience!

Bottomless tasty noodle soup?They make the noodle in front of everyone, and the chef may be made out of noodles.

Lao Bei is such a nice spot to get a quick lunch or dinner! The prices are low and the amount of food you get is insane. If you are a dumpling fan, their dumplings are different than gyoza that other places have; it has a much thicker skin and definitely feels heartier. The noodles are hand-pulled and have the perfect texture, and they do not skimp on the toppings. There is chili oil on every table that you can feel free to add on, I think it adds a very nice flavor to it. They also sell packs of 50 frozen dumplings, I try to make sure I always have them in stock when I come. The only thing is that the boiled dumplings do take a bit of time to come out, which is probably because they cooked to order; not a complaint but just an FYI in case you are limited on time.
Good Handmade Fresh dumpling . Cash only Restaurant. The price is really fair. Service and ambience are OK.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The noodle soup portions are HUGE. I tried the spicy beef noodle soup and had to portion it out to two meals. Their dumplings are also quite flavorful. Quick service.

It's been a long time since my last visit to LBF, the first time wasn't too impressed with the lamb noodle I ordered. Few days ago, I gave it another try, this time I ordered the beef stew noodle soup, surprisingly it's much better than the first time. The broth wasn't as salty. I also enjoyed their pig ears. Will definitely return in the near future.

Took my son out to try new places and we came across this place that we haven't try yet around this area. After I tried them I wish I had tried them earlier! I got the tripe and tendon mix ramen noodle soup . My son got the veggies ramen noodle soup. First thing notice is that they give you a big portion compared to other places . They give you so much noodles !!! Which in my opinion is a plus. Further more the price was extremely reasonable considering what other places charge these days. The place is self serviced type of restaurant which means you clean up after yourself after u eat. It usually means You don't need to leave any tip if you don't want to but I still left some tip in the tip jar. The noodles came out relatively fast . Definitely a spot for cheap but good eat!!

It is absolutely recommended, especially if you're looking for cheap eats and value for money. The free chili garlic on every table is a plus points.

Very good Beef Noodles Soup, big portions and hand pulled noodles. The dumplings are tasty as well. The price is affordable. Nice to be here.

One of the dirtiest places I’ve eaten (as seen in the attached picture). Noodles are top notch though. ??♂️
