Yijie Enterprise Management Consultation (Shanghai) Limited Company
More than al dente noodles with offal-rich geese soup and white-cut geese, served in a shabby back alley cubbyhole of a noodle shop. The noodles here are whip-taut, topped with goose fat fried scallions, and with just enough house-mix of soy sauce at the base of the bowl to keep the noodles slick. (¥36 for a bowl of noodles, including the soup.)

Haling Noodle Restaurant (Guangxi South Road)
This popular local shop has been around since 1987. It’s a hole-in-the-wall chain that draws lines out the door and is known for their gargantuan portions. Plus, it’s open 24/7.The specialty here is the spicy bullfrog noodles (¥45, 牛蛙面 niu wa mian) cooked with bright green chilies and preserved Chinese cabbage. It’s a saucy order with about two to three bullfrogs worth of springy meat, and the added spice makes it absolutely satisfying.

328 Jianguo W Rd
Shanghainese restaurant Jianguo 328 has become my default for entertaining visitors to Shanghai. It’s cozy and has the character of being a homey local restaurant, but with service that’s more attuned to the needy nature of foreigners. Plus: English menu and wine list. scallion noodles 葱油拌面 (¥18) are among the most ordered dishes, and for good reason.

Hanmama Taiwan Noodle Restaurant
Han Mama is also a well loved Taiwanese restaurant in Shanghai. Han Mama’s expertise is beef noodles. They make their beef stock daily on a no-nonsense ethos of purified water and zero MSG, then skim the fat off. It might be located in a mall, but it's worth the visit for a bowl of half tendon half beef noodles.

Changjiao Restaurant Noodle Restaurant
Another hole-in-the-wall (it's more of a shack, really), this shop specializes in thick long noodles, cooked in a mixture of beef lard and broth. The noodles are spongy, gummy, and fragrant.
