$11.99 for two with the Ubereats BOGO deal
Classic Noodles with beef slices

Thin Flat Noodles with beef brisket (+$3)
The beef brisket was tastier and more flavourful than the beef slices (and extra cost), but the soup bases and toppings like green onions and cilantro were the same. Personally I like the flat noodles (and even more when they're wide since they're hand-pulled), but the thin noodles and classic noodles are tastier since they absorb flavour quicker from the soup and meat. Definitely one of the better noodle soup places in Toronto!

BOGO Lanzhou Beef Noodle on Ubereats? Gotta Try It!
Lanzhou Noodles ($11.99 for two) and Clip Bun (2 for $5.99)
The clip bun had slightly game-y marinated beef with coriander in a bun and while it was okay, the seasoning had a lot of cumin (and other spices you would use with lamb meat). 
Lanzhou noodles were pretty good for a takeout version. The noodles were a tad congealed in the takeout container, but once you heated it up, it was pretty quickly fixed. The broth was a simple radish vegetable broth and you could choose how spicy you could make it with the chili oil on the side. The chili oil was pretty tasty too and having it on the side made it great for moderating the spiciness of the soup. 
Overall: The noodle dish was pretty good, but it didn't have a lot of beef though.
