A Bowl Of Noodles - Haymarket

Sydney’s hardcore noodle hounds keep packing out this high-energy Haymarket dining room. Pure, unapologetic Shanghai flavor. The menu is massive, but here’s the play. Go straight for the crab roe and prawn noodles—hit it with a splash of black vinegar to cut that luxurious richness. Follow it up with the sizzling eel over dry noodles; a deeply savory, soy-lacquered masterpiece. Dumpling purists are obsessed with their xiao long bao—chasing that elite wrapper texture that perfectly cradles the gelatinous broth. Throw in the surprisingly brilliant spinach tofu in pumpkin sauce. Fast turnover. Spotless space. Shockingly pram-friendly for a place buzzing at this frequency. Just get in there.
