    The four fresh fried bao with shrimp and pork ($10.99) was stuffed with chives, scrambled egg, pork, and a full shrimp, all encapsulated into a thin lightly pan-fried wrapper. The dough to filling ratio was great with the palm-sized baos only having a thin layer of bun that's elastic enough to withstand being poked and prodded. Yet, it desperately needed more salt and more cooking time in the pan to really give it a crisp exterior. Similarly, the rocket leaves mung bean soup noodle ($8.99) was very bland. Such a shame as I rather enjoyed the mixture of vegetables contained in the thick broth. The lack of seasoning could easily be rectified if Bao & Broth just left some salt and soy sauce at the table. I'd also urge the chef to cook the noodles less as I found the ones in the mung bean soup too soft. Meanwhile, the pasta was perfectly cooked in the Henan braised noodles with pork and veggies ($13.99), wonderfully chewy and having an aromatic wok hay. Unlike the other two dishes, the scallion soy sauce added much needed flavour and even the pork belly slices were previously braised before being stir fried then steamed. Bao & Broth dining room is small so you may want to go during off hours to avoid waiting. Even during our Tuesday lunch visit, the restaurant was 80% filled before noon.

    A hidden gem for sure! I've always walked past this place but decided to try because was one of a few restaurants open early. A small restaurant that sits 7 tables it is family run assuming. The dumplings and baos are sooooo good. The buns are huge and so soft. This place is reasonably priced as well with 3 dishes coming in at under 40$ after tip. Definitely get the pan fried dumplings. Perfectly crispy imo.

    I loved my Braised beef noodle soup at Orient Express, Scarborough!…read more Absolutely delicious and beautiful to look at! The beef was so tender and rich with flavour as was the broth, bok choy, leeks and coriander. The fresh thin wide noodles were delicious too. I was so amazed at the skill and speed of watching hand-pulled noodles being made! They came from a small slab of dough in less than 60 seconds! You can choose from nine different shapes and sizes of noodles and watch someone hand-pull them through a glass window! So cool! This was a lot of food so I could only finish half and took the rest home. They have so many other dishes I want to try so I'll be back. Highly recommend! Big thanks to my server Joewin who helped make my first visit so welcoming and memorable! The service and meal arrived super fast because I arrived 11:30am on a Monday before lunch crowd. Very nice spacious restaurant.

    This isn't my favorite hand pulled noodle place, but it's good enough that I end up coming here…read moreoften. The hand pulled noodle soups are consistently good. The broth is rich and beefy and the noodles are chewy. It also comes out very fast. The lamb skewers are decent. Not amazing, but good enough. The stand out items for me are the stir fry cabbage and stir fry beef and green onion. Both were very tasty and had generous servings.

They gave us water right away, and we can order through the QR code. The restaurant is clean, and there are seats for maybe about 30-40 people in total. Most recently, we got the chilli oil noodles and added braised beef and the lamb noodle soup. The flavour of the chilli noodles is so good, and it's not too spicy. The lamb noodle soup broth is incredibly healing and delicious! The noodles in both dishes were perfection. Would definitely recommend. Prices are great too!

Our favourite was the Lychee Shrimp Balls--they were crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and something both adults and kids would enjoy. The handmade noodles were chewy and satisfying. We also ordered the Oil Splash Noodles, which had great flavour but were a little too spicy and oily for my preference. As parents, we appreciated that the restaurant provides high chairs, kid bowls, and food scissors. While there's no dedicated kids' menu, there are several non-spicy noodle dishes that work well for children. The restaurant itself is cozy, so it may feel a bit tight if you're bringing a large stroller, and the washroom is small without a changing table. Parking is free in the plaza, although it can take a few minutes to find a spot during busy times. Overall, the food was tasty, the prices were very reasonable (most dishes under $13), and we'd happily visit again for a casual family meal.

    I'm not sure how I had this place bookmarked- maybe Suresh? Im not sure, but it's probably because…read moreit serves beef noodle soup and I'm always craving itS It is a one woman operation and I knew that before coming. The business on Google said it opens at 11, and I tried to come in, but she was not ready. I waited for a long time to get tea. Parking in this place is 2 dollars for every half hour so I was kind of hoping for faster service. I was served a piping pot of tea after 10 minutes. She was cooking up a storm in there. But it didn't feel like my meal as she was frying something... and yes as I was leaving there was an Uber eats guy. The beef noodle soups broth was very nice. Rich and tasty, a lot of sesame oil taste. Beef was good quality. Dumplings were good too. When I was leaving she mentioned that I don't have to pay for parking next time. Come and support a one woman business!

    If mom and pop restaurants are your jam, Yunxi Handmade Noodles will have you swooning as it's an…read moreintimate establishment. Technically, Yunxi would be considered a mom restaurant as the female owner acts as the Jill of all trades: hostess, chef, server, and cleaner. She's a sweet lady describing what was freshly prepared for the day (in my case, the noodles) as she rotates between making noodles and preparing dumplings daily. The broth of the braised beef noodles ($14.99) was salty and strong, as one should expect from a dish that's essentially beef braised in soy sauce. I liked that Yunxi finishes the freshly made noodles in the soup to allow it to soak in flavours and develop a brownish tint. While there wasn't a whole lot of beef, the handful of chunks were lean and tender. Halfway through the meal, the owner returns with a small bowl of extra noodles, asking if we'd like a complementary top-up. Why of course, and into the bowl they go for round two. My first choice in dumplings (leek, shrimp, and pork) was sold out so we opted for the chicken and mushroom instead ($10.99 for 12). With a choice of preparation - steamed, boiled, or pan fried - I generally order them steamed as I find this leaves the dumplings the most neutral so you can appreciate the filling's flavours and the consistency of the wrapper. Unlike the noodles, the dumplings were made previously (at least a couple of days prior) so the wrapper was too hard and chewy. Consequently, I'd recommend asking the owner when things were prepared and if it isn't fresh, order the dumplings boiled to give the wrapper some extra hydration. At least the filling was juicy - use a spoon to ensure the juices aren't lost as they squirt out - and the dumplings were filled with a decent portion of the well seasoned, finely minced chicken and mushrooms.

    Chi Cha San Chen ( 吃茶三千 ) is a world renowned bubble tea shop…read more From California to New York to Taipei to Toronto, this shop's unique tea has proven itself to be top notch in the culinary world. Moreover they have been winning international taste awards for their outstanding products. I tried a milk based tea made with their famous the Dong Ding Oolong tea (凍頂烏龍). Dong-Ding Oolong Tea with Fresh milk was smooth tasting, sweet and creamy. Delicious. Whereas the Formosa Fruit Tea (寶島經典水果茶) was a black tea base packed with teeny pineapple bits, a bit of passion fruit seeds, paper thin slices of apples and citrus. Their offerings are plentiful, with both classic or seasonal teas on their menu. Worth a visit.

Immediately when I walked in I felt like I was in a cave. It was beautiful and cozy - just the way I like it. Service is always on point here, and their tea quality is always high. They steep their teas to order and with precision. Got their seasonal fruity tea and it was delicious. I usually opt for their signature milk tea but it was nice to switch it up to something refreshing and fruity once in a while. Check this location out, as it has a more magical touch than the others.
