“ Solid casual spot. They're right next to a boba shop and can order boba from the restaurant! I first got food delivered from here then dined in when I was in the neighborhood. Everything has great flavor. I would totally come back to try their other dishes. 5/5 Eggplant salad - very flavorful, eggplant was cooked well. the flavoring is so strong that it made my lips feel funny from how salty it was. I would order this again. I want to eat the leftover sauce over rice, mix it with noodles, or use it to marinate meats. 4/5 Mung bean noodles - the texture of it was softer than I expected. It fell apart more easily than I am used to with other noodles. 5/5 Chicken salad - GREAT flavor. the sauce is great, a little strong even. would be great with rice or mixed with noodles. I used it to marinate other meats last time I had this. 5/5 Silky wide noodles - fun texture flavorful. my only bit of feedback is that it's a little too oily though I guess the noodles need that to not stick to each other. ”
“ After a day of community event walking and early voting, we decided to get something to eat at Dun Huang. The place is peaceful, modern and clean. The orders were: fired pork dumplings, chicken, rice and ribs. The food was fresh and the service was timely. ”
“ Dun Huang is consistent and is good for dine in or take out. Good noodles and other dishes like mapo tofu and coca cola chicken. Some of the dishes are a little salty like the green beans but overall it's a great casual spot. The service is very quick since you order through ChowNow via a QR code at the table. It can get a little crowded but it's a solid spot and reasonable prices too. ”
“ Delicious food!! I love their noodles. I just wish it were open when I was an undergrad here hahaha ”
“ Came on a Monday night, good amount of people but seated quickly. Got the N1, lanzhou soup with wide noodles. So good, noodles super chewy and extra long for slurping. Broth was light and delicious, a bit on the salty side. We also tried the tomato grilled fish because literally every table had ordered this and it was AMAZING. A whole fish grilled then simmered in a rich tomato broth, it really hit the spot. ”
“ A fine stop for authentic Chinese food in the area, according to my Chinese friends. If you're a Columbia student or parent looking for a taste of home, this will do. Service was prompt. Ambiance was quintessential Chinese noodle and light fare joint. 7.5/10 ”
“ Food 5/5 A very wide selection of authentic Northern Chinese dishes. The noodles were the right amount of chew and flavor, loved the soup. The cumin lamb was a highlight, super tender and the spices tingled the right amount in my mouth. The mung bean noodles were very refreshing, while the braised lamb shoulder was also super tender, you can taste how much effort and time was put in cooking it. I will definitely come back again for a casual meal with friends. Interior 4/5 Pretty simple wooden interior setup, unfortunately, the chairs we sat on were for a long table and did not have backs. My back was not that happy. Service 5/5 Because we were celebrating someone's birthday, they were kind enough to store our huge cake in the fridge until we finished our meal. Friendly and helpful staff. ”
