1919 Master Lanzhou Beef Noodle - Joondalup

1919 Master Lanzhou Beef Noodle brings the traditions of Lanzhou, a city in northwest China known for its beef noodles, to Joondalup, Perth. The restaurant’s focus is a bowl of freshly prepared noodles in a rich, slow-simmered broth, with the brand aiming to offer a style of Lanzhou beef noodle close to what diners might experience in Lanzhou itself.

The noodles are made on site by hand using high-gluten flour, with seven shapes and thicknesses available, ranging from the thinnest noodles through to wide and prism-shaped varieties. That gives diners a choice in texture as well as soup style. The brand also describes a seasoning blend made with more than 20 ingredients, including galangal, cinnamon, anise, bay leaf, cardamom, nutmeg and tsaoko, carefully combined as part of its signature flavour profile.

The menu extends beyond noodle soup. Dry noodles are tossed with savoury sauces and seasonings, while dumplings and buns, cold dishes, BBQ snacks, rice or noodle dishes and house-made special drinks provide plenty of options around the main bowl. The website specifically positions the smaller dishes as suitable for sharing, suggesting the menu can work well for groups who want to try several things alongside their noodles. Diners who prefer to keep it simple can focus on the noodle soup and choose their preferred noodle shape and thickness.

The name reflects the venue’s story: “1919” refers to the year the family recipe is said to have originated, while “Master” represents skill, patience and quality. The brand describes its approach as carrying this tradition from Lanzhou to tables around the world, with each bowl prepared with care and precision. In practical terms, that makes 1919 Master a natural fit for diners seeking handmade noodles, a warming soup-based meal or a casual shared spread centred on Lanzhou-style cooking. The website does not provide detailed information about the Joondalup dining room, so the strongest reason to visit is the food’s handmade preparation and the choice of noodle styles.
