Located along Wright Street in Adelaide, Tasty Biang primarily serves Chinese noodle dishes, many of which feature handmade noodles. The name of the restaurant is taken from a type of noodles known as Biangbiang noodles, so called from the sound of the stretched noodles hitting the work surface.
The stir-fried pork and stewed pork in the Three Combination Biang Biang Noodles were tender with a good amount of savoury flavour. The Biang Biang noodles that form a key part of the dish still retained a bit of bite and the plain taste acted as a foil to the other ingredients. It had quite a spicy taste from the sauce dressing the noodles, which was balanced out by the slightly sweet taste of the tomato egg.

For those that prefer beef, there is a version of the dish that features stewed beef instead of pork. The pieces of beef were of a generous size and tender enough to be easily be cut with a spoon. Both of the Biang Biang Noodle dishes we tried included pieces of bok choy for some extra texture.

A dish of a similar style to Dan Dan Noodles, we liked that the Beef Noodles in Fresh Chilli and Paper Noodles had a generous amount of beef mince, with the handmade noodles cooked al dente. The sauce that formed a key part of the dish got its distinctive flavour from sesame paste but the chillies gave it a potent spicy punch. To best enjoy the dish, mix everything thoroughly to spread the flavour of the sauce through the noodles.

Aside from Chinese noodle dishes, Tasty Biang also offers a few Chinese snack dishes. The stewed pork in the Stewed Pork Burger with Marinated Egg was succulent with a delectable umami flavour. The marinated egg was of a size to make eating it a satisfying experience. The burger part of the dish refers to the Chinese flatbread which was crisp and fluffy without being too oily.
