About Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodle 新疆拉麵館

Climb an unassuming flight of stairs on Archer Street for raw dough slapped into springy, chewy noodles made fresh in plain view. Regulars bypass the modest second-floor dining room to focus on big plates of cumin-dusted lamb, cold noodles tangled with crisp cucumber, and massive Da Pan Ji chicken meant for sharing across the table. Pair the noodles with warm Xinjiang naan stuffed with stir-fried meat or oversized noodle-filled spring pancakes, backed by house chili oil on every table.

  • Handmade Slapped Noodles: Chewy noodles and dumpling skins are hand-pulled and slapped from raw dough right in front of diners.
  • Northwestern Specialties: Spiced sharing platters include cumin lamb, oversized spring pancakes, and hearty Da Pan Ji chicken plates.
  • Unpretentious Upstairs Diner: A no-frills, retro walk-up space where communal plates arrive fast for casual lunches and dinners.

Why Diners Choose Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodle

Hand-pulled craft, authentic Uyghur flavors, and an unpretentious upstairs haven in Chatswood

  • Fresh Hand-Slapped Noodles Made in Plain View

    Diners can observe dough being prepped and stretched directly from their tables, producing thick, springy noodles with an unmistakable freshly made bite.

    The noodles are made fresh and you can literally see them slapping the noodles into shape.

  • Specialized Northwestern Xinjiang Regional Specialties

    Dishes feature regional northwestern staples including Da Pan Ji (big chicken plate), freshly rolled spring pancakes, and lamb served alongside chewy, room-temperature or hot noodles.

    First time trying authentic Uyghur cuisine and it didn’t disappoint. Must try the big chicken plate with homemade noodles

  • The Rewarding Payoff of a True Hidden Gem

    Beyond the steep flight of stairs, steaming noodle bowls and aromatic cumin-spiced dishes deliver immediate comfort and deep culinary satisfaction.

    From the outside is a dull staircase, inside - pure satisfaction.

  • Humble Atmosphere Outperformed by Flavor

    Skeptical first-timers climbing the stairs quickly realize the humble atmosphere and self-service setup belie standout culinary execution.

    Dont be intimidated by the stairs up or put off by the homey decor or the self service bowls or cutlery. These are the best noodles in Sydney.

  • Spring Pancakes

    The most surprising thing here were those spring pancakes, they were huge like a burrito and filled to the brim with noodles. It was really filling but tasted great.

  • Xinjiang Naan

    The plain Xinjiang naan was super soft and the owner recommended we fill the naan with the stir fried lamb which was absolutely delicious.

  • Spicy Wontons

    The spicy wontons were incredibly yummy, the marinade had a perfect balance of chilli oil, soy sauce and vinegar. The wonton skin was nice and thin and packed with so much delicious filling yet still remained intact.

  • Fried Eggplant

    The eggplant was a great side to pair with the fried rice.
