The 四姐 Special Noodle Story

A noodle house built on handmade dough, made-to-order cooking and a menu generous enough for the whole table.

Handmade, Made to Order

Special Noodle (四姐, "Fourth Sister") is a casual Chinese restaurant where the most popular dishes — steamed soup dumplings, pork soup pan-fried buns, beef wrap and noodle bowls — are made in the kitchen when you order them, not pre-prepared.

Although "noodle" is in the name, the menu reaches well beyond it: baos and dumplings, stone-pot and clay-pot dishes, wok-fried plates, soups, cold dishes, fried rice and Chinese street-food snacks. One person can order dumplings, another noodles, and the table can share a pot.
