Noodles And Dumplings in Edinburgh, City of

The noodles were excellent thick and chewy. The braised beef brisket was full of flavour, tender and bitey. The broth was very flavourful. It retained clear nourishing quality. If you look for a freshly- made beef noodle soup in Edinburgh, look no further. It is a place you simply must try.

Great hand pulled noodles and a very authentic range of meals. Good value and friendly. Remember it's cash only!

Authentic Chinese pulled noodles for good value. Staff are friendly and helpful. Noodles are absolutely tasty!!

They said “it’s normal, just eat it.”

Best place for noodles and dumplings. Beef dumplings, pork and black bean noodles, and north eastern potato/pepper/aubergine are some faves. But everything we’ve had is excellent and the owner is a sweet heart. Always share this place with friends coming to town.

Incredible place like no else in Edinburgh!

Tasty food and friendly service 👌

Awesome small place, Amazing Noodles. Recommend 100% best noodles I've ever had

The best chili oil beef noodles hands down! I'm obsessed

The meals are homemade and very generous if you do not finish your plate you can ask for a box and leave with your meal only takes cash

Delicious beef noodle soup in a rich broth and decent prices. Skewers are good too.

Recommend grabbing the dumplings, they are amazing.

The best dumplings in Edinburgh! So authentic and they just get it right. The pan fried and the steamed buns were outstanding. If you’re looking for good Chinese in the city, look no further.

I have been here so many times and I just love it. The food is so incredible, the hand made noodles are just so tasty and I would die for their pork dumplings. Perfect place with just the perfect food.

Cosy place and nice food, the prices are quite affordable and the portion are generous >.< Cash only

I ate real food for the first time when I came to Edinburgh. It was kind. Lamb skewers and beef noodles are delicious. If you compare the price with Oh Hansu's beef noodle, it is almost the same for the same amount.

Amazing food and friendly, extremely quick service. The noodles are fresh and you can see them stretching the dough behind the counter. Cooked perfectly and very tasty. I got the sliced beef noodles with chili oil and a small order of Pan fried dumplings. All delicious. Will go back to try more of the menu

Excellent dumplings and noodles!

Best food I have had in Scotland. And I’ve been to some really nice places. The food is so flavorful and delicious. Everything the food from this tiny island isn’t. Enjoy and treasure this place. Personally, I go a minimum of 1x a week while living in Glasgow. Portions are large to where you can split with your partner (assuming they’re shorter than 5’4”😉). Cash only. I personally suggest the Sliced Beef Noodle with Chili Oil. And my absolute favorite is the Crispy Diced Chicken with Red Chili. But be careful, it is extremely spicy. The Lamb Skewers are also fantastic. Thank you, Noodles and Dumplings, for allowing my tastebuds to enjoy phenomenal food while eating out in Scotland.

My favourite noodle place in Edinburgh and I’ve hit up many a ramen, Pho places, etc. Fresh hand stretched/sliced noodles with nice firm bounce and chew. I love the garlic soup, lamb ribs, fiery Chong Qing, many lush warming soup bases and topping choices. Fresh made fried dumplings are classics. Wonton only tasted slightly above average so would only recommend if you have specific cravings, same as pork and black beans. Remember the chilli oil, vinegar and soya sauce on the side if you need more flavour. Lovely auntie and a bustling hole in the wall vibe. Fair uk pricing (cash only)and decent portion sizes but it’s all about the consistent noodle quality over the years especially on cold days, absolute food heaven.

Remarkably tasty food - my boyfriend went so far to call it a religious experience after his first mouthful. We had minced pork noodles and a couple of lamb skewers. Staff were incredibly sweet and friendly. Be sure to tip this authentic gem on your way out!

Very simple and small two level traditional Chinese restaurant with the most delicious handmade noodles. In my opinion, the portions of the noodle soups are large and you will be full. The small appetizers are also super tasty. Price-performance ratio is definitely right here.

The best noodles and dumplings in Edinburgh, it says it on the tin.

Cash only. Great food! It was quite busy but service was fast and friendly.

I tried the classic sliced beef noodles in broth and shredded beef tripe in chilli oil, both of them are authentic and delicious. If I have nitpick, the chilli oil is a little bit out of flavor.

Best Chinese cuisine in Edinburgh! Affordable price and friendly staff.

One of the best Chinese noodle restaurant!! The lamb skewers are one of my favourites, the taste is amazing and just the right amount of seasoning. The noodles have been a fab meal, I got the original beef noodles and already I could eat it every time I come here. I really recommend the “冰红茶” drink (red ice tea) and it really washes it down with all the other things. Amazing experience, would definitely come again! ☺️

My favourite spot in Edinburgh for soup dumplings/Xiao Long Bao! Also tried the mince pork noodle in broth recently and it was so comforting on a rainy August night. Don’t forget to bring cash and leave something in the tip jar ☺️

It was an interesting experience, select your own ingredients and it is cooked for you, but you need to know what to add to add depth and flavour. I didn't.

Very good food and great value. Staff is very nice and efficient . They are very helpful with allergies.

Had a lovely lunch here today could not recommend more the noodles where so tasty and you can tell they are handmade on site! Service was great, big portions and even got left overs in a to go box . Very good value. Will be back. One note they are cash only but lots of cash machines close by

No words how good is this. They deserve a micheline star !

Can’t believe I can find such an amazing Chinese food in Edinburgh. The noodles & sliced noodles made by the chef brought the food to another level! Remember to bring cash tho.

Although, the restaurant only accept cash for eat in. Food was lovely and good in portion as per price. Will go there again. 🥢🥢

Initially we had the table in front of the counter but with the door open it was cold so we asked for another place and went down to the room below. You order at the cash register and pay only in cash. A bit of confusion with the order. The service was quite fast. Proportionate food and prices. The noodles are freshly made and stretched.

Had lunch here on a trip up to Edinburgh. We still talk about it years later and want to come to Edinburgh again just for these noodles.

The ramen is handmade, somersaults, the soup base is good, the braised beef brisket is fat and the wood is thick, and the fried skewers are fine.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten Chinese food worth a bad review. I blame it on me for passing by and getting greedy after the meal... I ordered spicy noodles and barbecue. The noodles are not the domestic knife-shaped noodles. They are more like those bought in the supermarket. They are not chewy. , very narrow, and really too greasy. Also, when commenting on the beef skewers, I wrote about Northeastern BBQ. It tasted like freshly cooked beef skewers with a little cumin sprinkled on them. Maybe I'm unlucky, I happened to get two dishes wrong. I'll evaluate them objectively and let everyone judge rationally.

This place gives me the impression that everything is fried, even the lotus root and tofu skin in the intestines dish😂 the intestines are a bit fatty and tough to chew. They always keep the door open, so quite cold both times I ate there. Generally, the taste is ok, and the portions are generous. PS. The medium spice level of their rice noodles is spicy enough, even for me as a Sichuan native.

Stunning authentic Chinese food with huge portions, highly recommend the pork mince noodles in broth! Cheap but cash only

Cash only. Noodle big portion and good taste.

This is an Edinburgh institution and a seminal place I visit EVERY time I'm in my old home city! Proper Chinese cooking from the home country and regularly filled with folks seeking a taste of the authentic. Menu is in Chinese and English with a nod to both tastes of the cuisine. Their Hotpot is absolutely exceptional. Meat and juicy veg and spicy and healthy. Brilliant to share. Dumplings are steamed and homemade and packed with fillings. I always get rice and never finish it. Good selection of drinks too and plenty seating downstairs if you can't get on the counters upstairs. Honestly a must try if you are in the city. Suits most budgets and there is items like chicken heart skewers, gizzard, whole chicken in chillis, lamb Neck skewers and much much more. Some things I've never tried before but all were delicious. A proper institution you'll be making notes of and telling friends proudly to visit next time they come here. Trust me.

"Noodles and Dumplings" has been a steadfast favorite since my first visit a year ago. It's a breath of fresh air in Edinburgh's dining scene, where consistency can be hard to come by. Despite the passage of time, the charm of this place remains unchanged. The lady behind the counter embodies warmth and professionalism, consistently delivering exceptional customer service. But it's the food that steals the show. The noodles, expertly crafted by the chefs, are a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. It's reassuring to know that some places never lose their magic.

This place has been great for a while now. Everytime I pass through Edinburgh I Iike to stop by.

Great place for great food. My younger sibling and I come here about once a month and are never disappointed. The food is priced way below what it should be and the portions are very big. Always left feeling full and satisfied.

Ever since my first visit to Noodles and Dumplings, I've been hooked! This gem of a restaurant has become my go-to spot almost every week, and it never disappoints. The standout dish for me has always been the beef fried noodles – they're perfectly seasoned and expertly cooked, with just the right amount of crisp and flavor to keep you coming back for more. But let's not overlook the minced beef dao shao mian in broth. This dish is a revelation! The broth is rich and flavorful, a perfect complement to the delicately sliced, tender beef. It’s comfort in a bowl, offering a warm and satisfying meal every single time. Also, you can only pay by cash which would be the only inconvenience. All the main plates are really fulling! Noodles and Dumplings is really worth the try!

Very authentic Chinese food, we enjoyed it very much! Wechat payment is convenient too. 👍

This restaurant was introduced by my friend and tried it a few times for dine-in. The food and services were quite nice. This week, it was my first time to return after the birth of my child. It was my first takeout (sliced beef noodles with chilli oil). I was in a rush to go home with my young baby for us to have dinner together, so I wasn't able to check what the server (May) gave to me. At home, I was excited to have my dinner in my disappointment they just served me with plain dried and hard noodles with chilli oil, no beef slice, no beef broth, just plain dried and hard noodles with oil and some onion leaks. We walked so far to drop by and ordered dinner there (if you are a mother of a young baby you know how it feels to look forward to something you are craving for dinner) and there was no way for me to return and bring my baby back to exchange for the right one, I tried to eat it but the noodles were so dried that it was sticking together when pulled out from the box, it ended up going to the bin, I paid the full amount and it wasn't cheap to receive poor quality service and foods. I was so sad, I felt I was bullied. Now it's making sense why the servers were laughing while we were leaving. That's unacceptable! Nobody deserves that! When I called them the next day to complain, the lady who answered the phone just hung up the phone to me, very rude! I hope the management of that restaurant can read this and do something. For customers please check your take-outs before leaving this place, they will ask for full payment but they might not give the right order you ask for.

The egg-vegetarian fried noodles are surprisingly delicious. I haven’t had delicious noodles in the UK for a long time. The noodles are very chewy, but the soup doesn't quite match the taste of Lanzhou Ramen.

Very good value. Is my goto noodles bar.

Enjoyed the food, staff attentive. Bathroom clean.

The best homemade noodles and dumplings

Incredible food from a really authentic family restaurant experience. Very reasonable prices and everything we ordered was delicious. Cash only venue, which the owner was lovely about.

I always come here for the best noodles in edi with a giant portion of beef noodles, it is fairly affordable unlike the other Chinese restaurants who are overpriced since they expect locals to be able to afford the absurd price for so little food and they have lovely staff, great hygiene and i defo recommend it

Nice place, friendly staff, huge portions for a good price. Just left me craving a bit more spice and flavour.

The noodles were incredible! Hand pulled and made to order - they were perfect. Also very reasonably priced at £10-11 for a bowl that will definitely fill you up!

Great taste, big bowl, reasonable price

The garlic beef flank with noodles in broth is amazing! Highly reccomend

Amazing. The bowl of beef noodles is spot on. Really an awesome portion of handmade noodles - yes you can tell the difference - a perfect bite on them, great texture and taste. Paired with a tofu with preserved egg appertizer this was one of the best authentic Chinese meals I've had and I'd drive from Newcastle to have it again! Great value. Great taste.

Ordered Uber eats. Requested utensils, plates and napkins. Didn't get any. Chicken fried rice was OK. Dumplings were ok,a little chewy. The noodles and broth tasted like dish water, inedible. Not sure how they have 4.5 stars. They must have a large family posting reviews or the people eating here have no tastebuds.

I highly recommend this place to everyone who likes Chinese cuisine because - when you enter this place, you are greeted by the staff, a very nice lady who holds a menu in her hands and encourages you to use the services of the place. The food is tasty and fresh, with an oriental scent floating around and, most importantly, very clean.

Traditional Chinese restaurant with exceptional beef shank noodles. The excellent cuisine, truly traditional, is served in a simple place, frequented mainly by Asian students from the nearby University of Edinburgh. It's not great Asian cuisine but it's the real taste of Asia, from the small, everyday restaurants that can be found on the street corners of cities in southern China and the peninsula. faintness . A real pleasure.

I never ever leave reviews but this place was amazing and I wanted to let people know. Best bowl of noodle soup I've ever had in my life here. Came with a group of friends and they were all similarly happy. Highly reccomend!

Good food but doesn't travel well, so would recommend going for sit down. As I've done both sit down and take out. The food was noticeably better for the sit in meal. The noodles are lovely. I would recommend.

my fav place for noodles! garlic beef flank is the best 🤤

Hand made noodles. Yum! Authentic!

Delicious and authentic food! The noodles are handmade in the shop and you can really taste the difference!

Beef noodles, plenty of meat and fresh meat, I ate up all the noodles in soup. Three-year-olds also love to eat it. Would go again. Thank you☺️

I've been a regular at this excellent Chinese takeaway in Edinburgh. Consistently delicious food and a warm welcome from a cheerful lady have made it a go-to spot for me. The only area I'd suggest improvement on is accepting card payments and perhaps improving the decor.

My first experience of authentic Cantonese food and couldn’t have asked for better. Food was delicious, and staff were very kind and welcoming. Great portions for very good prices.

Great prices and portions, excellent selection of condiments/oils

Came across this place by accident and loved it. The beef noodle were amazing and all of the dumplings were delicious. Very friendly staff and authentic ambience. Will definitely go again and again.

Amazing amazing amazing!! Highly recommend food was hot and so tasty. Big portions for a decent price!

Got the chicken fried rice. It was amazing and I even got the extra chilli oil that I asked for. Must try 😊

炸酱面 here is so good! Really authentic ☺️ portion is huge. 2 people can share one dish. tastes just like home. The shop has a homely feeling. The lady running the shop is friendly friendly and warm. Thank you so much

This is my favourite place , whenever I need a hearty meal I go there . Always get looked after and always leave satisfied.

Big portions. Affordable prices. But they only accept CASH payments which is BAD.

Perfectly cooked noodles and dumplings. Amazing flavours. Really friendly.

the broth and dumplings were so so good and the woman who served us was super attentive and so welcoming!!

This place is amazing, that is all.

Great homemade noodles and rapid service.

Very basic. But that doesn't mean bad. Home made noodles, maybe better than you have ever had. Very good, solid food. Very decent people. Recommended.

This place is okay but could be much better. The ma po tofu dish was sadly quite horrible and big disappointment. It was a packet sauce and then tofu blocks but the sauce had a horrible overbearing powder ginger flavour and that was all. None of the other ingredients of mapo tofu were in it. The beef flank noodle soup was good in theory but did not have nearly enough broth so was mostly eating plain noodle. The broth was good but ended up thick and none of it and the beef flank was nice but very fatty and a bit sweet I thought. The dim sum were nice though. The service was very friendly and they were good with topping up water. Price is okay but I wouldn’t say cheap or great value. The place doesn’t have loads of atmosphere upstairs but may be due to the high ceiling and draught, and white paint.

The food is good and noodles fresh. No service but you're not here for service. The place can feel weird and imposing. It's a touch expensive.

Best place I’ve tried in Scotland for freshly made noodles. Dumplings are also superior! One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh by far.

Good value, simple BYOB spot with great hand pulled noodles, and homemade dumplings / dim-sum.

Excellent dumplings! Cash only.

highly recommended, excellent food, price and quality, all very clean and fast, very good price, we will be back soon.

No frills but good food Simple set up, basically casual dining experience. Good hearty satisfying bowl of noodles at roughly £10. Seating on street level as well as down stairs. Often you will see the chef hand pull the noodles in the back. We arrived at 430, so it was before the dinner rush. Waited roughly 10-15 mins for our steaming bowl of noodles. The lady who served us was very friendly. Would definitely recommend, big portions. The noodles had a nice soft chew to them . The pork won tuns had were juicy. The beef flank was full of flavour. Order at the counter and they will bring your meal out to your table. Toilets clean, situated down stairs. It's cash only premises.

Todo casero y hecho al momento! Buenísimo!!!! Muy recomendable. Sólo se puede pagar en efectivo.

Extremely epic and good restaurant ! My favourite place to be, very reasonable and always great food, lovely people too :) 100/10

We been for a family dinner, and the experience was great. Great customer service, all the staff was very attractive. Food wise, I can say probably one of the best noodles I've ever tried. Beef flank noodle soup was incredible taste and amazing texture. Dumplings, just perfect. Thank you for this delicious food Highly recommended!

We've recently visited Edinburgh and we had such an enjoyable and memorable experience in this lovely place. The food was the top of the top. The portions were soo big and the taste was amazing. The service was excellent and the atmosphere unique.. my baby had fun and we had such a lovely time.

Always fantastic - lovely people, great food!

Great food. Not flashy in decor but they pass on those savings to their customers. When you stand at the counter you can see one of the chefs hand pulling fresh noodles in the kitchen. Their lamb ribs had great texture and flavour, I recommend trying those, they don't seem to be too popular. It's cash only here and there are not many places to wait if you are getting takeaway, but they do what they do, well.

This is becoming my go-to places for noodles and dumplings. I have been twice in this month and on each occasion my craving for noodles was totally satisfied. I will definitely go back. No frills restaurant, cash only.

Another gr8 meal. Always excellent.

This place is amazing. It is not the kind of eatery you go to sit and chat for hours or to drink cocktails. It’s for hardcore lovers of authentic Northwestern Chinese style food. Expect to be slurping away on delicious noodles, chomping fried rice, devouring amazing dumplings or enjoying spicy kebabs. The service is fast and friendly and portion sizes are extremely generous. We had the Garlic Beef Noodles in Broth, Pork and Seafood Dumplings and Chicken Fried Noodles. We also had 4 Lamb Kebabs. This was enough for two very hungry adults. There is lots of menu options and a specials board upstairs where you go to order. I loved seeing the noodles and dumplings being made and the whole restaurant had a really nice fast paced vibe to it. Needless to say I’m already planning another trip!

Super nice noodle bar Excellent food Nice staff Highly recommended

I wanted to buy dumplings to take away, I could only pay in cash and had some problems, but the owner was very kind and helped me out. The food was excellent, delicious handmade dumplings 😊
