A regular here and for good reason! Hands down the most authentic Roujiamo I've had in a long time. The bun is perfectly crispy, while the meat inside is incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their signature 5-in-1 noodles are a must-order. The wide noodles have an amazing texture, and mixing all five fragrant toppings together is just an absolute treat. It smells amazing and tastes even better! Bonus points for the stellar service-the staff always makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

The noodles are incredibly chewy and springy—you can really tell they are handmade and not machine-pressed. Absolutely perfect! The bun for the Roujiamo is also super crispy and flaky.

Thick hearty noodles loaded with garlic and chilli. My GF is from Lanzhou & almost cried she loved this so much. Very popular place, whole upstairs was empty. Most places not even open for lunch but Terrific Noods was packed.

I had the 5 in 1 Biang Biang. These would have to be the tastiest noodles I have tried. Serving was plentiful and noodles cooked perfectly. Wasnt spicy at all but a spicy alternative is available. Price was 18.80 This place is very busy and was surprised by the little wait time .

"Terrific" is right! I've eaten here many times now and tried a lot of different menu items, and everything is delicious. The noodles are excellent, the cold sides are fantastic, and the pastries are delectable. The staff are absolute treasures. I'd definitely recommend the 5-in-1 Biangbiang noodles for a first-timer so that you can get a nice sampler of all the delicious flavours. Don't forget to mix it together!

Visited Terrific Noodles for the first time and really enjoyed the experience. The biang biang noodles with braised beef were delicious, as was the spicy cumin beef Chinese pastry. The restaurant does get very busy though and parking can be a significant challenge, so I recommend getting there early or leaving time to locate a carpark. We are going back tomorrow, less than a week later, it was so good!

Delicious noodles. Service was quick. The place does get busy so there may be a wait at lunch and dinner. Serving size was generous. Would definitely come back to try more dishes.
