About the School of Lamian
School of Lamian
Founded by the Institute of Chinese Cuisine (ICC), the School of Lamian is the world’s first professional academy dedicated to Chinese hand-pulled noodle arts.
Unlike Japanese ramen schools, SOL preserves and teaches the original Chinese lamian tradition—centered around hand-pulled craftsmanship, ingredient mastery, and cultural storytelling.
With its headquarters in Los Angeles and a growing global network, SOL is redefining Chinese culinary prestige on the international stage.

Chinese hand-pulled noodles are more than food — they’re a performance, a discipline, and a lost art ready to be reborn.
Use the numbers to understand the scale of the opportunity and the power of mastering a cultural skill that’s been overlooked for far too long.
