tianfu noodles 蜀味坊

love the shaved noodles here! dan dan noodles as well as the pork and chives are my favourite. i am a spice fiend but usually only order mild or medium here as it is quite spicy indeed. loved the staff members there as well, they speak english and are super friendly. would give more than 5 stars if i could, don’t even hesitate just go get it! portion sizes are great so promise you won’t go hungry

if you’re looking for a cheap lunch that tastes good and fills you up then this is the place to go. been here 3 times already and i’ve never been disappointed. you can choose the type of noodle you want and the spicy level as well. service is average but the food is amazing. the dandan noodles are so delicious and the soup is lovely- i ordered with hot level for the spice. my favourite though is the cold sichuan noodles- has great flavour it’s addicting. i usually get medium spice for this one. brought my parents here as well and they have pretty high standards with food but they loved tianfu and said that we must come back again!

excellent noodle. top 5 for chinese noodle in auckland. the waiter could recommend good combination between noodle, broth, dumpling. mild is spicy enough for most. tiny spicy would be more enjoyable for my case. should have order large because medium does not have a lot of meat. only 4 or 5 pieces.

small busy place that provides hot fast meals. the chilli is great and the service is prompt. great for a quick lunch at a reasonable price.

amazing food here especially dumpling in spicy sauce. i recommend the pork mince noodle and dumplings. i come here every day and always forget take photos.

came for dinner after a movie. after reading some of the reviews i went with a medium spicy in case it got too hot. i ordered a medium bowl of the dan dan noodles and a small dumpling in spicy sauce.

the noodles were spicy but not overly (and that was only medium). i did get a bit of the numbing after eating for a bit. noodles had a nice bite. the dumplings were great. the spicy sauce was also sweet so it went really well with the spicier noodles.

a decent and tasty meal for under $20. really good value.

came here with two friends on a rather quiet sunday night. we were in the area and were looking for a quick dinner so we decided to come here. i had never heard of this place previously so was not expecting much but the noodles here were surprisingly good and i would say on par with places i go to regularly, like eden noodles and chongqing noodles.
we order three bowls of noodles, the dumplings in spicy sauce and the slobbery chicken. the spicy beef noodles with shaved noodles was flavourful and had a nice level of heat to it. the noodle texture was also excellent. beware though, this place does not mess around with the spice, i ordered the 2x spicy and it was indeed very spicy that i had to buy a drink.
the dumplings in spicy sauce was also very good and i think i actually prefer the ones here over the eden noodles ones. the sauce was better balanced, with a nice heat as well as a good amount of vinegar and sugar. the dumplings themselves were also plump and meaty.

overall:
ambience 3/5
service 3/5
quality 4.5/5
portion size 4/5
value 4.5/5

solid noodles at a solid price, good dumplings - might need to come to this place more often.

big portions and really good food. would recommend the hand-shaved noodles as they are great! great speed of service too! would recommend to all who like spicy food!

got carried away. my half empty bowl of delicious mince pork and chives noodles. my newest bestmate in this “elsa weather”. 🤗. if youre after comfort food, this place is your man. 🙌

one of best in newmarket! ⭐️ quick, spicy, delicious, and the poops were fan-fucking-tastic afterwards.

i got the medium level of spice and boy was it spicy! put your pride aside and get mild if you’re like me and think you can handle spice. it was tolerable and yum, but i think it would’ve been more enjoyable if i weren’t dying from the heat.

spicy-ness aside, the noodles were so tasty too 🤤 and for the price, this place is definitely somewhere you should make a visit if you’re looking for a cheap lunch.

i highly recommend the dumpling in spicy sauce. it was so good i was secretly hoping my partner will give me the last piece of dumpling even after eating most of it. i also ordered dandan noodles which i really enjoyed as it was full of flavour and not too spicy. overall, i was happy with the food, the price, the service, and the staff.

since i’m into basu lounge and eden noodles, i decided to give this place a try. plus it’s in nm so if it’s good, i can go often.

first impression was that the place was so packed, my friend and i had to sit in the waiting area. upon sitting down at a table, we waited another while until we realised no one is gonna take our order, so we picked up the menus from the counter and then ordered there.

it took a while for the food to come as well. we both got beef noodles and dumplings. the noodles was a bit bland and average, in term of broth consistency, noodles texture and taste. but the dumplings were so so delicious. by the time we finished the dumplings i had forgotten to take photos of it. only finished half of my noodles.

i would come back for the dumplings. hopefully service will be better and we won’t have to wait.

food: 5/5
service: 5/5
value: 5/5

been here many times and i will be back many times.

i regularly order their "little spicy" shaved beef noodles- sometimes the spicy sour soup.

let me tell you, this place is definitely worth your money! these noodles are so filling, so delicious, i want to cry! well i literally cry eating it as i do not deal with spicy food too well, but i still can't stop eating it because it is so good! i always leave super full- i usually don't even like the noodle/rice of a dish but holy jesus, i eat this like no tomorrow! the soup is amazing and just overall amazing. best noodles in akl in my opinion.

the owners are always so so friendly. i even walked in once when they were closing, already cleaning, etc and they still served me. i would have totally understood if they turned me away but they welcomed me in.

there are 3 places in new market that are my go-to's and this is one of them. definitely try this place if you can eat spicy, and even try it if you can't! they have mild options too, and omgg 😍😍
i have also tried their other noodles and all were great.

we came at midday on a thursday and while it was definitely bustling, we managed to get a table.

we ordered the noodle soup with minced pork & soybean paste (杂酱面), pork dumplings in spicy sauce (钟水饺), and sichuan jelly with spicy sauce (四川凉粉).

the noodles had a great flavour and the shaved noodles were cooked to perfection. the dumplings were packed with juices and the skin was quite smooth. everything was delicious and definitely comparable to eden noodles and would make a good substitute if you weren’t willing to line up. service was also very friendly and quick.

my absolute favourite dish is the sichuan cold noodles. large portion and super cheap. they recommend having it with the normal wheat noodles as the kumura one has a rougher mouth feel. the spring onion and sesame sauce was super flavourful!
