1981 Noodle House Albany

1981 Noodle House is bringing something new to New Zealanders, showcasing the best of traditional Lanzhou cuisine. Inspired by the legendary Yellow River beef noodle soup, they pride themselves on preparing this renowned delicacy in-house using only the finest local ingredients.

The restaurant’s minimalistic interior style creates a clean and refreshing dining atmosphere and guarantees an authentic experience. After all, it is the perfect setting to showcase what is on offer.

With a menu focusing on delivering a taste sensation for your tastebuds, expect the authentic culinary tradition of Lanzhou to transport you to the streets of China in no time. Why not start with a classic beer choice and sip on a Heineken or Tsingtao while you dip into some mouth-watering dumplings. Popular picks include the pork, chives & prawn dumplings, the ideal fried treat to start your authentic culinary journey. Alternatively, plump for the chicken and corn dumplings, boiled to perfection and offer a hint of sweetness.

Now, onto the main attraction. The star of the show is, of course, the legendary Lanzhou hand-pulled noodle soup. Delicate, yet substantial, it is rich in umami and leaves a lasting impression on all who taste it. The Signature Beef Noodle Soup has a warming mix of beef slices and soft handmade noodles, cooked over a leisurely 40 hours. That’s dedication right there.

Noodles might be their thing, but it doesn’t stop there. Intriguing snacks including the famous Lanzhou Fried Chicken, with its garlic batter, will leave you in food heaven.
