+4.5
Amongst all the Shanghainese restaurants, this Northern Chinese restaurant may go unnoticed unless your in the know. And it was a worthy discovery. Authentic Northern style dishes such as the big bowl chicken, full of chillies & pepper with braised tender chunks of chicken on the bone & potatoes that has soaked in all of the flavour. All the noodles are handmade & a good testament to this Northern specialty is the length and springy-ness of the noodles. Here it is super long with good bite. Dumplings had a good skin filled with a light pork filling with hints of ginger, making it refreshing rather then heavy. The lamb skewers are a must - on metal skewers, tender pieces of well marinated lamb has been charcoal grilled & doused again in the chilli spice mix. Warning - it is numbing & spicy! Shallot pancakes were flakey and crispy but was the only disappointment for me as it had neither shallots nor flavour. It was also the only greasy dish whereas the others are not very oily at all which was a positive. There were lots of Chinese families so that was a good sign. Service is efficient and servings are super generous.
This northern Chinese flies under the radar while the Shanghai dumplings steal the limelight in Ashfield. Their soups are worth a try: thinly sliced beef or lamb with handmade noodles or choose dumplings instead. Steamed dumplings are brilliant too with lots of vinegar.
A little “north west” of Little Shanghai is this little Chinese gem.
Order the lamb soup with bread. Please order the lamb soup with bread. This little, simple bowl has noodlies bowled over. The contrasting, vibrant colours have the saliva glands working in overdrive. Seeing the chopped shallots alone, you know this is going to excite the taste buds.
very authentic xin jiang (north western Chinese) food, love the lamb dishes especially the lamb skewers!!! The cumin herb and spicy just got mixed well as it should be!
Very generous serving size and reasonable price!

Great noodles! Can't ask for more for such good price too. Highly recommended. The better northern noodle house compared to the other one on the same street.
Every weekend when I come here to have a meal, I can feel the busy of the restaurant. The noodles are delicious and chewy. The waiter is very fast, and he will give us hot tea, spices and chili sauce. This kind of feeling is very good. Sometimes when he is busy, I can only see him walking around, serving dishes, cleaning the table and asking him if he is hard? He only replied that it was OK. The atmosphere here was very good and it was worth eating again
Can you please open the restaurant. I call everyday.😭 i miss this place so muchhhhh. Best ever. I don’t really like Chinese food but this place 😘😘😘😘 yummmm
Amazing flavour, you can tell the noodles are hand pulled (so silky yet so chewy)! Highly recommend the lamb buns as well as the stewed chicken and rice! Great food, great prices, highly reccomend.
Owners were lovely. Food was cheap and delicious. Would recommend.
