"What Dr.Noodle lacks in size it makes up for in broth. Specifically, its speciality beef noodle soup. There isn’t a great deal of seating in this Chinese noodle specialist in New Cross, and its walk-in only policy means that you might need to crack a beer outside before you can get a table, but it’s worth it. And, unlike turning up at Singburi hoping for a last-minute cancellation, you’ll get in. The two-person operation makes some of London’s best noodle soups alongside moreish frankfurter tian jing crepes, as well several exciting vegetable side dishes. True to its name, the unremarkable white-walled space feels like the waiting room of a broth-reliant GP. But if you’re after flavour, Dr.Noodle should be high up your list." - jake missing
