About A Bowl Of Noodles - Haymarket

George Street regulars head here for Shanghainese comfort—specifically the crab meat and roe dry noodles that coat every strand. Insiders know the routine: cut the rich sauce with black vinegar, add sizzling eel tossed in dark soy, and split a basket of xiao long bao. The room moves fast, tables stay spotless and surprisingly pram-friendly, and meals finish over handmade spinach tofu pooled in sweet pumpkin sauce.

  • Authentic Shanghai Noodles: Thick strands tossed with tender stir-fried eel or rich crab meat and roe, balanced with black vinegar.
  • Spinach Tofu in Pumpkin Sauce: Silky, house-crafted spinach tofu served warm over a subtly sweet pumpkin purée sauce.
  • Family-Friendly & Accessible: A brisk, high-turnover room that stays spotless and easily accommodates prams and family dinners.

Why A Bowl Of Noodles Stands Out in Haymarket

Rich Shanghainese specialties, crave-worthy comfort, and an accommodating dining room—book your table today.

  • Signature Shanghainese Dry Noodles

    Signature dry noodles topped with intensely savory eel and fresh crab roe deliver regional Shanghainese depth balanced with a dash of black vinegar.

    The crab roe & prawn noodles were very fresh and flavourful, and the vinegar helped balance the richness.

  • Artisanal Spinach Tofu in Pumpkin Sauce

    House-made spinach-infused tofu paired with a delicate, subtly sweet pumpkin sauce offers a silky, vegetarian-friendly culinary counterpoint.

    handmade spinach tofu with pumpkin sauce – very silky and well balanced with a subtle sweetness.

  • Deeply Satisfying Umami Cravings

    Rich, umami-laden sauces and robust broths leave diners thoroughly satisfied and eager to return for their next Shanghai fix.

    it’s one of those places you keep craving after you leave.

  • Hearty, No-Nonsense Comfort

    Springy noodles, honest seasoning, and unpretentious execution provide the restorative comfort essential to an authentic casual noodle house.

    exactly the kind of comforting, no-nonsense noodles you come here for.

  • Pram-Friendly & Welcoming for Families

    Unlike cramped noodle shops, this clean Haymarket dining room actively welcomes families with young children and easily handles prams.

    Finally found a noodle spot in the area that is actually pram-friendly!

  • Fast Turnover in Central Haymarket

    Rapid service and energetic floor staff keep tables moving smoothly, making it an effortless pitstop in the heart of George Street.

    very very popular with fast turnover at dinner time.

Signature Shanghainese dry noodles, house-crafted specialty tofu, and dumplings praised across Haymarket.

  • Crab Meat & Roe Dry Noodles

    The Crab Meat & Roe Noodles are an absolute must-try!! So rich, flavourful, and incredibly satisfying.

  • Handmade Spinach Tofu with Pumpkin Sauce

    The highlight for me was definitely the handmade spinach tofu with pumpkin sauce – very silky and well balanced with a subtle sweetness.

  • Sizzling Eel with Dry Noodles

    The eel shreds noodles are fragrant and tender, with rich sauce that coats every strand perfectly.

  • Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings)

    Really surprised by how good these were. Rarely see somewhere do the wrappers so well - just the right thickness and texture to balance out the gelatinous soup.

    The Wontons in Chili Oil are another favourite, with silky wontons and a perfectly balanced chili oil that’s packed with flavour without being overpowering.

  • Yang Zhou Fried Rice

    The Yang Zhou fried rice had subtle truffle flavours that kept me going back for more

  • Crispy Chicken Rice

    crispy chicken rice – crispy skin, juicy meat, and a slightly spicy soy sauce that worked really well.
