Liu Ji Hand Made Noodles, nestled in Birmingham’s vibrant Chinese Quarter, is a must-visit for noodle lovers seeking an authentic taste of Lanzhou-style hand-pulled noodles. This isn’t your typical takeaway noodle shop; it’s a place where you can witness the mesmerizing art of noodle making firsthand.
What makes Liu Ji a foodie hotspot? It’s the focus on freshly made, hand-pulled noodles. The noodles are made to order, right in front of you, with the chef skillfully stretching and pulling the dough to create various thicknesses, from thin and delicate to thick and chewy. This process is a spectacle in itself and adds to the overall dining experience.
