Derek's Noodle Bar in Liverpool

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

This place is excellent for authentic Chinese noodles. Run by a very nice couple,so happy to have a place like this in Liverpool.

Awesome spot to get food when in a hurry. The customer service is swift, rates are affordable, excellent vibes. Will come back again

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).

Best Chinese food in Liverpool by a long way. Definitely authentic food. The service is authentic too (which isn't to everyone's liking). The owner prefers to speak Chinese to English, isn't particularly helpful and the restaurant is often crammed. However, it is worth it. Best Chinese noodles I've had in the UK. I'd recommend the Hui Mian for a winter warm-up type soup bowl, or the yow po mian for a (really) spicy, dry noodle dish. Both are excellent.

Environment is not attractive. But cheap and nice noodles with yummy side dishes.

Authentic, cheap and tasty.

A small but bustling cafe, the lady wasn’t very hospitable and made us feel unwelcome and just stopped short of telling us to leave... but we hung around and eventually a table cane free. The food was slow to come BUT it was very delicious and tasted very authentic. We will return when back in the area. The lady had warmed to us in the end lol

Very bad attitude, especially for people from China.

Very good
