I'm not sure why this shop calls itself Mulanyipin on the outside but Lyzik or laiyouke on the inside (283 South Bridge Road, 8460-0686). Maybe it was a recent rebranding or ownership transfer? Or maybe even a loss of franchise rights, although I couldn't find much about online about Lyzik being a chain (sounds like a pharma brand or even some kind synthetic clothing material).
Anyway, it's a Lanzhou noodle shop, and I liked it. The beef was pleasantly thin, the broth was salty and crispy, and the chili sauce worked. The noodles lacked chewiness, but that's not a big issue for me, as it's really the broth and quality of the beef that are key. They even had a kaedama-like extra noodle option, not to mention other menu items like chuanr, roujiamo, and xihuniurougeng that I'd like to go back to try.

Epilogue: Their xihuniurougeng was thinner than I was expecting and was in a gigantic family-sized serving. I guess this wasn't the right kind of restaurant for it anyway. The chuanr on the other hand were pretty good with big chunks of fat alternating in there.
