Friendly staff, very good quantity and quality of food. I have tried most of their food and every dish is so flavourful but their handmade noodles are the best.May's hospitality is superb !Highly recommend this place for the best Chinese authentic noodlesMashParking: The 3 level Arcadian car park which has plenty of spaces

Excellent noodles and helpful staff since we hadn't been before. I had beef stir fried noodles and really enjoyed it. My sister had the mixed veg stir fried noodles and loved the flavour-- though it wasn't spicy enough for her. So, she added spice from the peppers on the table. Do note that it's cash only, but a machine is nearby. Very handy location for the Hippodrome and Birmingham New St station.

To whoever served me, potentially the nicest and most helpful woman in the world, thank you for the great service. Had the king prawns starter and my friend had plain noodles, both were very fast and very tasty. Would recommend for anybody.

The restaurant looks fairly unassuming compared to its neighbours but don’t let that put you off. The food is delicious, served quickly and the staff are really nice. I’d definitely recommend the noodles with pepper (and braised chicken, of course!)

Amazing food!!! Chongqing style soup noodles with cucumber salad on the side is the best thing ever. Amazing service. They also do amazing cheese mango smoothie, they remind me of Hong Kong.Edit: It's been 4 years and I still go to this place whenever I'm in Birmingham. Sometimes I go to Birmingham just for this. Still tastes amazing. The noodles are chewy and the broth is so full of umami. The cucumber salad for the little palate cleanse. Ooof....I feel so satisfied everytime. They don't do the drinks anymore but that was never the reason why I loved this place.

As someone who doesn’t tolerate much spice, I feel the Dezhou style chicken was wasted on me. Pictured is the star of the restaurant in a noodle soup made non-spicy for my palate.I tried a spoonful of the spicy version and they are world’s apart in terms of flavour. If you can handle it, choose this! And maybe the dry noodles over the soup. The noodles themselves have the perfect bite, they make it in-house!Some of the friendliest service I have encountered too. Very affordable at £11 for a main.
The staff were very friendly and helpful when we didn’t know what to choose. Unfortunately the food was not wha we expected. Mine had no taste and the noodles were very doughy. The food came out so quickly that it made us wonder if it had been reheated. Then we went to pay and were only then notified we could only pay in cash which was frustrating as we did not bring any out. Was very surprised about all this due to the good reviews. It’s a shame we had that experience.

Wanted to visit after seeing all the good reviews but do not understand the hype at all.Good service, food came really quick.1. Soup noodles:broth is super bland, nothing special at all, chicken is dry and just a bit salty, not much flavour at all… Noodles have good texture and seems to be hand pulled but is no use if the broth has no flavour…2. Cucumbers:Ordered cucumbers as a side and I’m glad I did, otherwise there would be nothing tasty on the table. They were very flavourful and hits the spot.Overall it was very disappointing considering it wasn’t really cheap for a student, perhaps if i ordered something else it would be better.

Braised chicken was a bit of a letdown. It was a bit dry.But other than that this is some hearty and unique chinese food with fresh handmade noodlesThe cabbage appetiser was my favourite dish

Really nice and friendly staff and affordable priced simple, authentic, yummy Chinese noodle. Hand made noodle's texture is incomparable, chewy and doesn't become mushy / doughy, 彈牙有嚼勁! You can even see the chef moulding the dough from a glass panel and see how its being made. Tried both their soup noodle (dine in) and stir fried noodles dish (takeaway) and liked them both, the noodle is rlly versatile. Broth of the soup is perfect, not overpowering but flavourful, chicken is alright but if I had to rank everything it definitely would be noodle & soup > chicken.Only thing to beware of is that they accept cash only, which is a bit inconvenient... but I'm happy to support small independently run shops with their preferred means of payments for this food quality.

This was honest, no nonsense food that felt homemade. We had the braised chicken soup ramen which came in a tasty broth and lots of fresh coriander. It was perfect on a cold day and was excellent value for money. The staff are very sweet and accommodating. Will definitely be back if we're in the area.
