Grape Garden Beijing Cuisine

Staff were very friendly and helpful, explaining all ingredients. Noodles were handmade and delicious.

Simply outstanding authentic Beijing cuisine. Recommend the Sichuan dry noodles. You will not be disappointed. The fried dumplings are also excellent, as is the black garlic vinegar dipping sauce.

Oh man, what can I say? This tastes like home. Like proper Beijing style home cooking. I am so happy to have finally tried this place, and especially with all of the small dishes that they have in the front counter stuff that you wouldn’t see being served in most Chinese restaurants around here (they’re all southern Chinese restaurant, to be fair). <br/ <br/ I got the Mapo Tofu with rice, some fish dumplings and a small dish of pork rind jelly. Soooo good! They even gave me some dumpling water to wash everything down, which was just so quaint and homelike I had to say yes. <br/ <br/ I chatted with my parents and apparently they used to know the owners a long time ago, when they all came to Australia together roughly around the same time. Either way, it definitely tastes authentic, like straight from my grandparents place. <br/ <br/ The only mild negative is the price. I feel like for being something that’s marketed as home cooking for cheap, I want the dishes t be slightly cheaper too. But ah well, it’s worth it. If you’re from Beijing or you want to know what Beijing home cooking tastes like, definitely come here. I can’t believe it took me this long to try it!

While working in the office on a Saturday I had this sudden craving for something spicy , hearty and comforting. I  jumped on Zomato to see if I could discover a new place to sink my teeth into and i found this little gem. I made my order via phone and it was ready to pick up in ten minutes flat, I order spicy pork Dan Dan with pan fried pork and cabbage dumplings. The noodles are made from scratch by hand , the noodle was cooked al dante' served with a heart warming mouth tingling Szechuan chilli broth with tender sweet bits of pork mince. when dunking the noodles into the broth the sweet pork mince and chilli oil stuck onto to the noddles to achieve the perfect mouth full of spicy meaty greatness. The dumplings had a sweet juicy interior and a crispy chewy exterior. if you are going to order the Dan Dan and dumplings be prepared to take a nap afterwards as it is subject to inducing you into a food coma. Prices are very reasonable  Pork Dan Dan $10  12 Pan fried pork dumpling $11, the portions are generous , great to share or eat the next day!

This place is a genuine gem. In Sydney we are spoilt for choice on Asian food but still it is quite rare to find instances that are truly authentic. The food at grape garden is proper northern Chinese cuisine, and the hand-pulled noodles take me straight back to home in Beijing. Any noodle lover will be blown away by the texture, and there is a range of flavours to accompany. Cumin lamb noodles with extra chili goes highly recommended.
