{Not an AD} HOW HAVE WE NEVER TRIED THIS BEFORE?! 👀🥢
Tucked away inside Newcastle’s Grainger Market is Noodle Box & Chinese Burger, a little spot specialising in the food of Xi’an in north-west China 🇨🇳
We’re talking hand-pulled Biang Biang noodles, rich and fiery noodle soups, Xi’an street food and their famous Chinese “burger” made with a crisp flatbread and slow-braised meat.
The Biang Biang noodles are thick, chewy and loaded with flavour, while that Chinese burger is something completely different from the burgers you’ll normally find around Newcastle.
Noodle Box & Chinese Burger was opened by Henry Lei Xu, who is originally from Xi’an, with the aim of bringing authentic Xi’an cuisine to Newcastle.
And somehow, despite being right in the middle of one of Newcastle’s best known food destinations, it feels like it doesn’t get anywhere near the attention it deserves online.
So if you’re looking for Chinese food in Newcastle, Xi’an food in Newcastle, somewhere different to eat in Grainger Market, or you’ve never tried Biang Biang noodles or a Chinese burger (roujiamo) before, then add this one to your list. 👀
