Tiny Shaanxi-focused spot for handmade dumplings and biang biang noodles; excellent flavors and value if you can handle tight seating and occasional service quirks.
Laolao earns its A- grade through exceptional handmade noodle and dumpling quality paired with efficient, friendly service and strong value for central Vienna. Tight seating and minimal comfort alongside occasional seasoning inconsistencies prevent grade A territory, but the authentic Shaanxi preparation and loyal following make this a worthwhile destination for diners prioritizing handmade comfort over ambiance.
One caveat: Space is cramped with few stools; expect waits at peak times
