Zhi Wei Cafe

About

Zhi Wei Cafe is a casual, modern Boston restaurant specializing in the cooking of Lanzhou and northwest China. Its signature is hand-pulled Lanzhou-style beef noodle soup: noodles stretched by hand into long, thin, chewy strands, served in a rich broth built from beef bones and spices with thinly sliced tender beef. Traditional toppings can include green onions, cilantro, white radish and chili oil.

The menu reflects a regional cuisine centered on beef, lamb and noodles. Soup dumplings sit alongside Lanzhou-style dumplings filled with ground lamb or beef, onions and spices, served steamed or pan-fried with a dipping sauce and prized for juicy fillings and delicate wrappers. Other hearty comfort dishes fill out the menu, and the restaurant aims for a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
