合家东北饭儿(Chinese North-Eastern Cuisine)

and 9th Ave

See route

I’m Nick Hamman and I’m on a mission to find the best noodles in South Africa so save this for your next adventure.
In arguably Joburg’s 3rd Chinatown, I found a tiny hole in the wall spot where English was scarce but the friendliness and flavour were unreal. It’s North Eastern Chinese, and the name is 合家东北饭儿. I even did a walkthrough and if you hit Teazers you’ve gone too far you dirty boy.
Thick handmade wheat noodles that are chewy, elastic, and built for a heavy sauce. Then that proper North Eastern chilli oil situation on top, deep red, garlicky, spicy, with a darker savoury base underneath. The beef is slow cooked comfort meat, tender, glossy, soaked in sauce. Fresh chilli pieces and coriander to cut through the richness.
If these aren’t the best noodles in SA, tell me where I’m going next in the comments.
Address: Corner Rivonia Boulevard & 9th Ave, Rivonia, Johannesburg, 2128
