Hand pulled noodles in Chengdu?

Question

Last year we were in Xi'an and we loved the hand pulled noodles. Can we find these in Chengdu? If so, is there a specific location you can share on Google maps?

Thank you!

Answer

Yes, you can definitely find hand-pulled noodles (拉面, lāmiàn) in Chengdu. While Chengdu is famous for its spicy Sichuan cuisine, hand-pulled noodles are popular in many local eateries and noodle shops. They are usually served in a flavorful broth with meat, vegetables, or spicy sauce options.

Some recommended options in Chengdu include:

Shu Jiu Xiang Hand-Pulled Noodles (蜀九香拉面) – A popular chain known for freshly pulled noodles and spicy broths.
Xiao Mian Noodle Shops in Jinli Ancient Street – A few street-style stalls offer hand-pulled noodles, perfect if you want a local experience while exploring Chengdu.
Qin Ma Noodles (秦妈拉面) – Though primarily known for hot pot, they have locations that serve hand-pulled noodles as well.

Tips for finding hand-pulled noodles in Chengdu:

Look for signs with the characters 拉面 (lāmiàn) on the storefront.
Many noodle shops are near metro stations, making it convenient to stop by even if you are short on time.
Visiting local markets or food streets in the Wuhou and Jinjiang districts can lead you to smaller, authentic hand-pulled noodle stalls.

In general, Chengdu has plenty of hand-pulled noodle options, though they may have a slightly different flavor style than Xi'an. You can easily find locations on Google Maps by searching "hand-pulled noodles Chengdu" or "拉面成都" for precise spots.
