A utilitarian, late-night institution where chefs pummel dough in the window and diners slurp excellent hand-pulled noodles at shared tables.
Ordering Strategy
Walk past the buffet window, find a seat at a shared table, and choose your noodle texture (la mian for round/slippery, dao xiao mian for flat/chewy) with a soup topping.
What to order
Stewed Beef La Mian Soup
This bowl of 'soupy goodness' features a broth that is 'thick, tasty and flavourful' with 'tender, well-seasoned' beef brisket and 'bouncy, springy' hand-pulled noodles.
Dao Xiao Mian (Knife-Cut Noodles)
Thicker, flat, and chewy noodles served in 'monstrous' bowls that offer a 'perfect bite' for those with a 'ravenous' appetite or late-night craving.
Addictive Chilli Oil
A must-add to any noodle dish for an 'extra spicy punch' that makes the meal even more satisfying.

Good to know
It is open very late (often until 4am or 5am on weekends), making it a prime spot for post-night-out food. Seating is communal and service is utilitarian.
