About Northern Chinese Noodle Restaurant

Hand-pulled noodles and fresh dumplings anchor this classic, no-frills Pyrmont fixture. Diners drop in for quick, wallet-friendly comfort, from bowls of bouncy hand-made noodles topped with mapo tofu to plates of garlicky braised eggplant. Rather than relying on frozen stock, the kitchen steams dumplings before searing them crisp on the pan. Late-afternoon hours keep the kitchen cooking when surrounding spots close between services, and lucky tables might even catch the owner playing a tune on his violin.

  • Hand-Made Noodles: Fresh noodles prepared by hand in-house with a distinctly bouncy chew.
  • Fresh Pan-Fried Dumplings: Dumplings are steamed first and then pan-fried fresh for crisp bases and juicy fillings.
  • Late Afternoon Fuel: Stays open after 3pm to serve hot noodles when neighbouring venues close between services.

  • Authentic Steamed-Then-Pan-Fried Dumplings

    Prepared by steaming first and finish-frying rather than using frozen batches, providing crisp skins and succulent fillings.

    This Dumplings are steamed then pan fried, best dumplings and very well made. Meat and filling are juicy & fresh.

  • Generous Value in Pyrmont

    Generous, filling portions of authentic Northern Chinese staples offered at pocket-friendly Pyrmont pricing.

    Probably the cheapest feed you can get in Pyrmont.

  • Live Table-Side Violin Serenades

    Diners are treated to warm, personal hospitality and impromptu live violin playing right at the tables.

    Nice ambiance eating on the footpath and we were even treated to some charming violin music by the owner!

  • Cucumber Salad

    If you like spicy Sichuan food, you must try the spicy cold noodles, cucumber salad and the wonton in chili oil dishes. All yum!

  • Egg and Chives Pastry

    I recommend the honey beef, the special braised eggplant, the dried sauteed french beans, egg and chives pastry, and the dumplings.

Before you head over

Practical tips on payment, timing, and ordering at this casual Pyrmont dumpling shop

  • Bring Cash

    Bring physical cash when you dine, as the restaurant does not accept card payments.

  • Drop In Late

    Visit for a late lunch or afternoon tea after 3pm to bypass peak lunch crowds and find a hot meal while neighboring spots are closed.

  • Stick to the Specialties

    Prioritize the handmade noodle bowls and fresh dumplings over pre-steamed dim sum or battered items to get the kitchen's best craft.
