Mamalan serves authentic Beijing street food—handmade dumplings and steaming noodle soups—in a tiny, vibrant Brixton Village spot. Cheap, casual, and consistently excellent, though the minimal menu keeps things focused.
“Diners perch on brightly coloured stools, eat the inexpensive likes of noodle soups, salads and dumplings (the latter made by hand before their eyes) and sip on herbal tea, Tsing Tao beer or wine.”

"The menu is short, with around eight small dishes – three of which are the speciality of jiaozi (dumplings). Other dishes are either salads...or 'street snacks'." Full review

"The Doors, 10cc and exposed brickwork may not exactly conjure up the hutong of Běijīng, but the pan fried jiǎozi dumplings are spot on, and the soup noodles (tāngmiàn) are a steaming bundle of appetising flavour (veggies can aim their chopsticks at the fried tofu and Chinese mushroom version)" Full review
