A narrow counter-service Chinese shop off Malcolm X Blvd, The Handpulled Noodle focuses on chewy ribbon noodles, rich bone broths, and cumin-heavy lamb dishes that overdeliver for the price. Locals treat it as a go-to for takeout bowls and dumplings when they want something more soulful than standard takeout but still fast.
