Lao Peng Yu Amazing food packed with tons of flavors! Appreciate they have multiple options that you can make vegetarian. We tried - cucumber salad: super light and refreshing. similar to din tai ding’s cucumbers. i might actually like these more 🫢 - scallion noodles: very simple dish but the sauce packs a ton of flavors - dan dan noodles: great vegetarian options topped with tons of veggies. wasn’t my favorite compared to the scallion noodles, but i never been a huge fan of peanuts - mushroom dumplings - loved the filing and the sauce was great overall, i get the hype. this is a place i would definitely come back to over and over. we got there as soon as they opened on a sunday and the place was packed within 30 mins!

The food was soooo good. We had the dan dan noodles and the pork and chives dumpling soup. It was just mind blowing yummy. I would recommend sharing the plates as it can get overwhelming to have one taste overpower while having dan dan. We also enjoyed the eggplant starter.

My mom sees a line at this place all the time and wanted to go; just today, I found out this place was on The Bear. On a Friday at 5:45pm we were told we would have to wait 1hr 30min. Then, just 5min later of sitting at their empty outdoor seating, an employee said we can be served outside if we’d risk the rain that might come (it didn’t). So yay, thanks for us skip the line. We ordered the savory dou hua/tofu and beef & green onion dumplings. I liked the tofu but the dumplings were ok and the broth is too salty. Like their website boasts, they don’t claim authenticity, so if you want white people to serve you Chinese food, go to Lao Peng You.

Soup dumplings were my favorite! Will com back for the dumplings, eggplant salad and doushabing! 4 star for the food because the plum juice was not sour enough comparing to the ones I had growing up, the xi’an bing was okay, very lamby for those who don’t like lamb-I would stay away from that until they improve/change how they make them. Dandan noodle had an interesting taste which did not have enough flavor for me. Overall a great experience!

I went to Lao Peng You a while ago and somehow forgot to post a review. I recently came across these photos on my phone, and they instantly reminded me how much I loved this meal. Everything we ordered hit the spot Dan Dan Noodles packed with savory depth and chili oil, a comforting bowl of beef noodle soup with clean, rich flavor, and plump, juicy dumplings that tasted clearly handmade. The cold dishes were a perfect balance, adding brightness and freshness alongside the warm bowls. Bold flavors, thoughtful seasoning, and that comforting, no-frills kind of cooking that food lovers appreciate. Combined with the lively, welcoming atmosphere, it’s the kind of place that stays in your memory long after the meal. Lao Peng You is absolutely worth revisiting and clearly worth finally reviewing.
