Hand-Pulled Daily on Catherine Street
Steaming bowls of hand-pulled noodles, slow-simmered broths, and Cantonese soul — served in the heart of Chinatown since 2003.

What Makes Us Different
No shortcuts, no premade noodles, no stock powder. Just flour, water, time, and a little Chinatown magic.
Our dough is mixed, rested, and pulled by hand before each service. You can watch the stretching through the front window — that bounce is how you know it's fresh.
Pork bones, chicken frames, dried scallops, and aromatics go into the pot before dawn. By lunch, it's a milky, savory foundation that carries every bowl.
We've been at 5 Catherine Street since day one. Locals bring out-of-town guests here; regulars don't even need to order — we know their bowl by heart.
Tender slices of five-spice braised beef shank, baby bok choy, and our signature hand-pulled wheat noodles swimming in a broth that's been reducing since 6 AM. Topped with pickled mustard greens, a flurry of scallions, and a spoonful of our house chili crisp — made fresh every Tuesday with Sichuan peppercorns and dried shrimp.
"The broth alone is worth the trip downtown. I've been coming here since 2007 and this bowl has never changed — and that's exactly why it's perfect." — Mrs. Chen, resident of Catherine Street
