Call
Welcome

Noodles and Dumplings is a small Chinese noodle restaurant on Gibson Street in the West End, a short walk from the University of Glasgow and Kelvingrove Park.

The noodles are pulled by hand and cooked fresh, and they come in big, steaming bowls of beef noodle soup and as spicy Chongqing noodles with Sichuan pepper, with plates of dumplings alongside. Portions are generous, which makes it a warming stop for lunch on a cold day or a quick supper after a walk in the park. Order at the counter when you're ready, and pay before the food arrives. Bring cash, as it has been taking cash only, and you can sit in or take your noodles away. It's open from noon until 9pm every day except Wednesday. Stravaigin and Left Bank are its neighbours on Gibson Street, if you fancy a drink after.
