Staff were very friendly and helpful, explaining all ingredients. Noodles were handmade and delicious.
Dumplings are juicy and crispy. Chilli vinegar is very tasty too. The owner is very friendly and can recommend if you’re unsure. 👍
Simply outstanding authentic Beijing cuisine. Recommend the Sichuan dry noodles. You will not be disappointed. The fried dumplings are also excellent, as is the black garlic vinegar dipping sauce.

Oh man, what can I say? This tastes like home. Like proper Beijing style home cooking. I am so happy to have finally tried this place, and especially with all of the small dishes that they have in the front counter - stuff that you wouldn’t see being served in most Chinese restaurants around here (they’re all southern Chinese restaurant, to be fair).
I got the Mapo Tofu with rice, some fish dumplings and a small dish of pork rind jelly. Soooo good! They even gave me some dumpling water to wash everything down, which was just so quaint and homelike I had to say yes.
I chatted with my parents and apparently they used to know the owners a long time ago, when they all came to Australia together roughly around the same time. Either way, it definitely tastes authentic, like straight from my grandparents place.
The only mild negative is the price. I feel like for being something that’s marketed as home cooking for cheap, I want the dishes t be slightly cheaper too. But ah well, it’s worth it. If you’re from Beijing or you want to know what Beijing home cooking tastes like, definitely come here. I can’t believe it took me this long to try it!
Service was perfect. Flawless explanation English and Mandarin. The beef of the beef noodle soup tasted great. However, the soup itself tastes watered down. ... But we will come back if we are in Chatswood again. We think they are really good with meat.
When I first came here, I asked the chef if I can take away their shallot pancake.
He said “no” because the taste is better if you eat here! So I was sure that he is a good chef and came back next day.
I had pork dan dan and shallot pancake.
It’s cheap, fast and super yummy!
Although it’s just a food court gourmet but the taste is very good!
The chef and staff tried to explain the food in Japanese. They are so kind:)
The chef told me that the park dan dan is very spicy but for me it is not that spicy.
If you like very spicy food like me you can ask to make it extra hot!
I highly recommend you to come here if you want a fast food but yummy food.
This place is a genuine gem. In Sydney we are spoilt for choice on Asian food but still it is quite rare to find instances that are truly authentic. The food at grape garden is proper northern Chinese cuisine, and the hand-pulled noodles take me straight back to home in Beijing. Any noodle lover will be blown away by the texture, and there is a range of flavours to accompany. Cumin lamb noodles with extra chili goes highly recommended.
I adore this place. Just a little spot in a food court out of the way in Chatswood. You might ignore it unless you want some of the best goddamn hand pulled noodles you can get in Sydney. The friend noodles and the soup are both amazing. The gent who runs the place is a character as well. OMG this place! FARRRKK!!! I love it. It reminds me of being in asia and finding a hole in the wall that is just so tasty. 14 dollars a dish. So good. I would give 8 stars. Get the lamb fried noodles and the beef soup noodles. Add chilli. Get a bit of vinegar. Live your life.

While working in the office on a Saturday I had this sudden craving for something spicy , hearty and comforting. I jumped on Zomato to see if I could discover a new place to sink my teeth into and i found this little gem. I made my order via phone and it was ready to pick up in ten minutes flat, I order spicy pork Dan Dan with pan fried pork and cabbage dumplings. The noodles are made from scratch by hand , the noodle was cooked al dante' served with a heart warming mouth tingling Szechuan chilli broth with tender sweet bits of pork mince. when dunking the noodles into the broth the sweet pork mince and chilli oil stuck onto to the noddles to achieve the perfect mouth full of spicy meaty greatness. The dumplings had a sweet juicy interior and a crispy chewy exterior. if you are going to order the Dan Dan and dumplings be prepared to take a nap afterwards as it is subject to inducing you into a food coma. Prices are very reasonable - Pork Dan Dan =$10 & 12 Pan fried pork dumpling =$11, the portions are generous , great to share or eat the next day!
One of the well hidden gem in Chatswood. Down in the basement foodcourt of the less popular Lemon Grove Centre, the store itself doesn't look spectacular, not a "restaurant" with tables for dine in, just the counter to order food (you can eat there at the food court tables), and certainly not as polished as New Shanghai or De-Pho next door. However their food are amazing. The handmade noodles are not chewy, the Chinese version of al dente (彈牙爽口). The soup broth was flavoursome, I only added 1 spoonful of chilli & oil mix, so it wasn't burning spicy, still very enjoyable. Also got a couple of the "snacks" to takeaway, numbing spicy tripe & pig trotter jelly, both are definitely acquired taste for some, but great if you're into them like me!
I have been having their handmade noodle and delicious pan fried dumplings with these guys for almost 20years! It’s very nice to see this legendary store stands firm in a rapidly growing suburb being pushed by bigger commercial players/shopping centres.
Their hand made soup noodles and fried dumplings are my recommendations! They never go wrong.
The owners are down to earth and fair. Just walk up and speak with them and they will sort out what you want to eat. :)
Will always come back!
If you are looking for quick easy affordable tasty lunch place in chatswood. This is right place. Try beef dandan noodle in winter. Spicey soup gives to prevent a cold. If you don't want spice, try dupling noodle soup. I like that, too. This is food court style eating place. Don't expect more than what you pay for. Nice food. Friendly chef. That's all. Certainly not a date place. One of My favourite places in sydney. Gumshara ramen and dandan noodle here.
Visual is not good but taste is good!
A female staff does not have service mind but male staff is friendly.
They are making fresh hand pull noodles and dumplings.
Passionate and aggressively friendly, the service is A+ and the food is even better. Noodles are chewy but soft and light. Pan fried dumplings are crispy with light chewy skins and delicious fillings. Cold dishes are always different and exciting so its always a new adventure. Flavours feel like home but have enough intensity to keep you wanting more.
Excellent Chinese food. Good variety of side dishes. Beef noodles is good. Reasonable prices
Freshly made noodle with topping of many to choose from, you'd wish you had 3 stomachs to accomplish all. Pen-fri dumplings are a must try. Make sure to order some daily-made cold side dish, your brain wants more of that 🌶🌶🌶 tast, but your 👅 honestly need a break. I wish there are 6 stars to give.
Oh make sure to bring cash💵😉 and enjoy the ride.
Best handmade noodle in Sydney. Try the stir fried or the sauce noodle (first two options on the menu) if you are trying this place for the first time. Cold side dishes and fried dumplings are also excellent. The service can be brusque at times but they mean well and they are serving up the real deal. Very highly recommended!
Hidden gem in Chatswood!
Best Chinese noodle soups that I had so far in Sydney.
We tried Pork Dan Dan (spicy) and the Pork fried dumplings. They are all really good!
They have their signature way of serving upside down dumplings with the excess crispy skins around it. The dumplings are served with two condiments, sour and spicy. The spicy condiment taste really similar to Pork Dan Dan (pretty sure it is the base).
The uncle and aunty are really friendly.
This is my second time here and still impressed by their food.
Too busy eating and forgot to take pictures 🤤
