About Xinjiang Lamian

Elizabeth Street noodle seekers bypass ordinary takeaway for Xinjiang Lamian's chewy, hand-pulled strands coated in rich, spiced sauce. Regulars make a beeline for the A1 signature noodles—bouncy ribbons tossed with savory lamb and balanced seasonings. The vegetarian bowl turns heads with a spicy tomato sauce packed with sliced capsicum and crunchy black fungus. Then there is the cumin-dusted lamb chuanr, grilled in chunky cuts without gamey odor and served piping hot alongside rich lamb soup or fried dumplings. Ordering runs quickly via table QR codes in an unassuming, bright room.

  • Hand-Pulled Lamian: Bouncy, house-pulled wheat noodles cooked to an al dente chew, coated in deeply savory sauce or spicy tomato broth.
  • Charred Lamb Chuanr: Generous skewers of tender lamb crusted in fragrant cumin and chilli seasonings without gamey mutton flavors.
  • Casual CBD Dining: Generous, affordable noodle and dumpling portions served fast with easy at-table QR code ordering.

  • Cumin-Spiced BBQ Lamb Skewers

    Tender skewers of lamb are grilled fresh with aromatic cumin seasoning and rendered fat without being gamey.

    Lamb skewers were tender, fat is beautifully rendered with light lamb fat taste (not too gamey). Noodles were so bouncy - the perfect texture.
