I’m so glad to see this place open again! Best spicy noodle in Newcastle✨ Please try Biang Biang Noodle (Flat stir fried noodle) when you go there, it will not disappoint you!!! Soupy noodle is also good but our recommendation is definitely the Biang Biang Noodle. My husband and I had them last week, and I had to bring my friend back this week as it was so good☺️

We got the Biang Biang noodles... Unreal flavours and texture. So worth the wait. We'll be back for the rest of the menu.

Excellent biang Biang noodles for £12. Loved sitting at the counter watching the chefs work, everything looked so tasty as it came past.

One of the most authentic noodles place! The owner was so nice, cheerful and welcoming! He’s very passionate about what he’s doing. The beef vermicelli soup 牛水盆was so delicious and full of flavour, I would totally have that again, 100% worth the wait. I also ordered the famous cold noodle凉皮 and Chinese burger, wow, it tastes amazing! The portion is big and the music they play in the background is nostalgic, great vibes! I highly recommend this place to all noodles lovers, it’s a must try!!

True EXPERTS in their craft 🔥🧑‍🍳 For the first time, we tried the famous ‘Biang Biang’ Handmade noodles in Grainger Market, and it lived UP to it’s name 🔥😆 While there are many lovely Chinese noodle shops, it would be difficult to find a parallel to this in the North East (based on my limited knowledge). The noodles were INCREDIBLE, the broths were extremely rich - and with their very own-made chilli oil just screaming for you to add more in, it makes for the perfect noodle soup. They even adapted their noodle soup options to suit our vegetarian requests without hesitation 🙏 🍃 We ordered : Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup (vegetarian) Noodles in Sour Soup with pickled vegetables (vegatarian) Biang Biang Noodles Just look at how the chefs work on their woks. True ‘wok hei’. And sitting at the side of a bustling market while eating - now that’s a true street food experience 😎

I got there quite late just before closing time and had the flat noodles with chilli oil and they threw in loads of free extra veggies- kelp salad, beansprout+celery, broccoli, shredded potato- everything was delicious. Before I left they tipped a load of bonus flat noodles into my box to take away. Excellent place, will definitely return next time I'm in Newcastle!

The best noodles in Newcastle. We were so excited to see this place back open for business and were not disappointed! Food was delicious, where even the noodles are freshly made in front of you. Staff were all super friendly - definitely our go to lunch spot from now on!

Rarely do I give 5 stars. But this is a 5 stars Chinese street food. It's so hard to get real non western adjusted Chinese food but this place does it. A very small place with a chef shouting across the desk while the crowds pass by. Sometimes a bit chaotic but that's part of its charm and the food was incredible. It's a massive shame that Newcastle city is anti car as it makes it next to impossible for me to return but I'll do my best. Strong and deep flavours, excellent 👍
Parking
Newcastle city council are anti car. So a disaster.

Came here from reviews...I wasn't disappointed AT ALL! This is the most authentic spicy beef bowl noodles that I've had since having hand pulled beef noodles from Shanghai. This really took me back and I'm so grateful for that experience ☺️ The price being £12 a bowl, quite steep, but it is well worth it and authentic! Will try other things next time. P.s this place only takes cash.

Outstanding handmade family owned noodles. I’ve lived in NCL area for a year and I think I’ve been here at least 10 times! I can’t recommend this place enough. Very impressed at how authentic this place is. The owners are very lovely and friendly. I take my friends and family here when they visit and they all love it and say they want to come back to NCL just for another plate! I recommend the sour and spicy broad noodles (pictured)

Super authentic delicious Biang biang noodles from Xi’An and Beef noodle soup from Lan Zhou. Owner chef is very passionate to share his family-owned 3rd generation noodle delicacy to everyone here. Thank you chef for topping up more chilli oil for us - its fragrance and flavor totally enhanced the noodles!!

Absolutely loved my first time experience here. Me and my partner both ordered fried noodles in soy sauce with chicken (£12 each) as well as a Chinese boiled egg (£1.50). Absolutely delicious!! We were offered some chilli oil with the dish as well which was terrific. The staff were lovely, they were asking where we were from and overall the place had a great atmosphere. It's cash only and it's a lovely place to get authentic Chinese street food. Went back for a second time and ordered BiangBiang noodles which was absolutely delicious and a Chinese pork burger, again delicious, the bread was gone made as well as everything else.

I visited the other day after all the positive reviews I saw online for the biang biang noodles. After going I understand why! They were so fresh and flavorful, the meat were perfectly tender. The only thing I wish it had was more meat and egg. However I loved the tangy sauce and it had the perfect spice, especially with some extra chilli oil. My boyfriend ordered the spicy beef noodle which was nice but wouldn’t order again. Would be great if you were sick though. We did wait about 15 minutes but that was fine. Also they only take cash.

- Located in the middle column near the north end of Grainger Market (corner of row C and alley 5). - There’s a Noodle express sign pointing to the indoor seating, but you have to go around the outside of the shop where the big menu is to order first (see pic). - Authentic cuisine. Super tasty. Bit of a wait (15-20 mins) but it’s a real treat if you like Chinese food and hand pulled noodles. - £10 filled me up for the day. - Had the Biang Biang noodles which had very tender meat. It’s quite saucy so if you’re getting take away container make sure you hold the box flat otherwise you’ll get sauce down you.
