Derek's Noodle Bar (老曹烩面馆）

£1–10

Wish I'd known about the place sooner, it is now me and my partners favourite place to eat in Liverpool. Negatives - the menu is obtuse for English speakers, though everything on the menu has been delicious so far. Recommend the cold sesame noodles, number 11 and number 4 or the curry beef if your a bit unsure! - The spice levels vary WILDY between dishes, all only have a one chiili rating , but some are very hot, and others not so much. - All dishes contain meat, even if they dont sound like they do. Positives - Authentic food from China, very different from your standard take away meal - Noodles are hand made and amazing - Meat is of good quality -Very cheap - Not had a bad dish so far

Authentic Chinese noodles. Always my go to guilty pleasure! Simple little place with good homemade noodles.

£10–20

This is the perfect meal for the cold weather! Amazing price for the portion size. Me and partner were struggling to finish our meals! Place is small and cosy, and staff were polite and friendly and explain what’s in the broth. Recommend to bring cash as there is a 3% fee charge for card payment.

Went to visit on my lunchtime. Very busy with people trying different noodle dishes. I had the lamb curried soup. Very nice, will visit again.

The beef noodles taste homemade. You have to come

Small noodle shop run by a husband and wife team. It's not much to look at but serves really authentic Chinese noodles, deliciously chewy and freshly made by the husband. I'm planning to make my way through every item on the menu. Haven't had a bad dish yet!

Food was absolutely amazing. The hand-pulled noodles were some of the best Ive had.

I would bring someone like my mum here for the authentic noodles which are ALL hand pulled noodles! Not a date night kinda place but def worth a visit for spicy noodles, wantons, and side dishes such as spicy pig ears, and smashed cucumber salad. And prices are not expensive either. Edit: you will need to bring a Chinese friend that can read/talk mandarin or use Google translate to look at the menu (the back has the side dishes in Chinese).
