Restaurant · Nottingham
Hand-pulled noodles are the draw here, and they arrive fast — you order and pay at the counter, grab any free table, then collect your bowl when they call it, which is a blessing when someone's hit the hungry-and-loud stage. High chairs and a kids' menu are on hand, and portions are big enough to share down if your child won't commit to their own bowl. The braised beef brisket noodle soup gets the most love — rich broth, generous beef, properly chewy noodles — with wonton noodles and the beef-with-tomato close behind. One parent calls the value here unbeatable. Worth knowing: the spicy broth has noticeably more going on than the plain original, so ask before ordering, and opinions do split — a few have found bowls underseasoned and the service brisk rather than warm.
