Cart noodle place along restaurant road aka Alexandra Rd. Very small space with cramped seating, and was very busy during lunch on a weekend. Managed to snag a small table near the door. Like other cart noodle places, you get an ordering sheet to build your own soup noodle. You can pick the type of noodle, broth, and 1 to 4 ingredients. It's $1.50 for each extra ingredient. They also have a bunch of HK style appetizers, mostly fried or curry flavor. We tried the fried tofu with fish paste on top, and that was decent. As for the cart noodle, I got the round rice noodles with satay soup, and with pork intestines, curry pork skin and beef meatballs. The soup is quite mild and has a hint of satay flavor, but over time it does soak up the flavor of the ingredients. Out of what I had in my bowl, the curry pork skin was probably the best since they really had the curry flavor cooked into the pork skin. Portion was okay. Considering that was cart noodles, they weren't very quick with the food. Could be because they were busy. Overall, food is solid, but not my favorite cart noodle place in the area. Option to consider for a cheap bowl of customizable noodles. read more

BLOCK 18 Cart Noodle - cart noodles and fried tofu - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I stop by here often for a quick lunch noodle cravings, it's not a large restaurant with 4-6 tables. It's a clean smaller space that works for the style of food and service it offers! Very Hong Kong style, the shows that are played by the store are all cantonese dramas! Service is extremely quick, you order off a menu, that you pencil in whichever you might want. From the type of noodles, to the sauce, to the toppings. Add any sides to the list then you hand the paper off to the staff and they'll get cooking to your order. I never had to wait more then 10 minutes for my food. The noodles are always cooked well, broth is well made and the toppings are plentiful. The combination is always a good comfort food for me. I also ordered the chicken wings which were crispy and flavorful. The place has lots of parking just outside its doors, quick eats and fast service that certainly satisfies my brothy noodles craving! read more

Been wanting to try this place for months. They were closed for a month in May when we tried to come here. Finally made it today. It is a really small restaurant. The food is good but the portions are small. We definitely liked Wu Fung better. Prices are similar to other cart noodle places but the portions here are tiny. We had noodles and squid tentacles . The tentacles were good but plate was pretty small. The beef brisket in the noodles were good. The pork intestine was good but only got a few pieces. Parking is ample but too bad we might have to go back to the other cart noodle place. Didn't feel very thirsty after eating it so likely not a lot of msg. Service was ok read more

All things considered, this type of "Hong Kong Style" street food is not easy to get outside of Hong Kong as the varieties of toppings for the "Cart Noodles" requires extra time for each items to be made to perfection, and this is not an easy task even in Hong Kong. In North America, Vancouver in particular in Richmond we are lucky to have a few entries that offers this type of food culture. After a few years of giving up trying, I finally ventured into Block 18. This is the same location as the previous Cart Noodle shop that as been here for a few years after they moved from Aberdeen Centre. The current occupant did a refresh of the interior and is more inviting, still keep the feel of a canteen type place but this is exactly what it should be, casual and friendly. The service here is outstanding compare to many other places be it fast food or not, one of the gentlemen was particularly attentive, he would ask for our input and feed back of the items we ordered. He is also very knowledgeable of the cooking method and I can feel that he is very meticulous about the way each item is prepared. Highlight of the food items: Pork Rind : perfect texture, very well seasoned, one of the best in town! 4 stars Curry Fish Balls : as authentic as you can get outside of HK, slightly spicy, good on its own or you can have it as a topping on you noodles. 4 stars Fried Tofu with Fish Puree : size in smaller then other places, but I actually prefer this over the larger ones, as this gives the tofu to have the better texture when fried and the fish puree / tofu ratio becomes more balanced. 4 stars Fried Chicken Wings : Their version is not as gingery then the ones we are accustomed to but the fact that it has less flour coating is a plus, its also less salty, but is still very juicy inside. I would suggest some Chinese Seasoned Salt on the side. 3 stars As I started at the beginning, with all things considered to have Cart Noodle in N. America is already a plus and to have the quality pretty close to what we can get nowadays in HK is a pure treat! read more

Location - good There are parking stalls right next to the restaurant. Quite convenient Ambience - good It is a very Hong Kong style type of interior design. Even the TV shows are Hk ones in Cantonese. Food - great All the food on the menus are very authentic. The flavour of the food that we ordered was delicious. Not too salty or too much MSG. I didn't feel thirsty after eating the food. The HK milk tea was similar to the one that I had in HK. Customer service - great The owners are also the chef and server. They were very caring and making sure all customers got what they needed. They were also friendly that they chatted with customers. One recommendation: instead of using plastic cups and containers, they should use the actual bowls and cups. It's more environmental friendly. I would like to try other dishes if I come back here next time. read more

They get the A-OK from me. This is called 車仔麵 with out the 車. A HK staple type of food, "invented" in HK. A-la-carte noodles without the cart. Or alternatively: 車仔麵走車 Given the huge Asian population in the lower mainland, I'm surprised there's not too many cart noodles places around. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the only stand alone cart noodle shop that calls itself 車仔麵. The rest are in Asian food courts and there's not that many compared to any other Asian noodle houses which are a dime a dozen. Cantonese, Northern Chinese, Taiwanese, Shanghainese, Viet pho (pronounced as fuh, like DUH!), and a plethora of Japanese ramen. Pick your noodle Pick your toppings Pick your sauce Pick sides if you want Pro tip: Pick a sauce. The broth that the noodles come with is a standard neutral broth. I went with a beef brisket broth. Very reasonable prices. One more thing. A Cantonese place where the owners were extremely polite and cordial. W.T.F??? This is a first. I don't think I've ever had this experience before from a Canto joint. Easy repeat if I'm in the mood for this again. read more

New HK cart noodle restaurant on Alexandra. Friendly and welcoming staff. You choose your noodles, sauce, and toppings ($7 for 2/$8 for 3/$9 for 4). The soup base is the same for all the noodles; you just pour in your chosen sauce to flavour it up. There is also a decent selection of side dishes, like fried chicken wings/legs, vegetables, etc. Prices for HK drinks here are pretty good compared to HK cafes in the area, but at the time of our visit, there was no option to add a drink or snack to the soup as a combo. Everything is purchased separately. The broth was pretty good. Noodles were typical and nothing special. Portion sizes of the noodles and toppings were small. The chicken wings were fried well (juicy inside, crispy outside) but lacked flavour. The fried chicken leg used a different batter and wasn't as good. I prefer the wings and side dishes at Wo Fung Noodle on Park Road (another HK cart noodle place). What I don't like about this place is that even though it's an eat-in restaurant, they still use disposable plastic and styrofoam for almost everything (bowls/plates/non-water cups/spoons). I felt like I was eating at the food court with so many one-time-use products in front of me. I get that it's cart noodles, but it's still an actual restaurant and this amount of waste really isn't needed. I hope they at least recycle the plastic bowls and cutlery, but all the styrofoam plates are just landfill city. Maybe it's a temporary situation since they just opened... read more

whats not to love about this place? i think they afe the best representation of hk hawker noodles in richmond. ive read about this thru yelp and i just had to go try it. for price, food quality, and serving...5 stars for sure! the brisket beef and sauce are amazing. when combined with noodles...wow! ultimate comfort food. for a mere 7.5 you get a 2 topping noodles soup of your choice. i tried the beef brisket and wonton...wife tried the beef brisket and curry fish balls. wow! spot on, let me tell ya. tender beef chunks in rich hoisin sauce. fish balls done right and not mushy, and despite being in the soup, retained their curry identity. another good thing is the soup base of the cart noodle didnt taste like bland sewer water. care was actually given in preparing this simple yet delicate broth. it was clear and flavourful. provided a nice canvass to the masterpiece that will be painted on it. the fired cuttlefish balls were yummy. larger than most places, each one was plump and delectable and perfectly coated in panko. inside was juicy and not not dry. the chicken wings were equally amazing. nicely coated in 5 spice powder and potato starch and fried to golden juicy perfection. best chinese chicken wings ever. i like it better than the famous viet/cambodian wings in east van. hk drinks galore here as well. although noodle combos dont come with a drink option, they are reasonably priced and you get a large cup. for drinks, iced lemon tea and ice lemon ribena with 7-up! so refreshing. brings back memories of dining on the street stalls in hk. i will be back for sure and try the other toppings. simple and no frills place for a quick and delicious meal without breaking the bank. service is quick and efficient. only 1 guy speaks english here though. lol. he takes orders and operates the till. order taking is simple enough with a paper and pen, just check and check. everything is nicely translated on paper. cheers! happy eating! read more

In the beginning I wasn't expecting too much from here since it was a quick stop for lunch while in the area. But I was quite blown away by the flavour when the food arrived. Both my husband and I ordered the two toppings noodle and ordered the beef brisket and chicken wings. What a deal for $7.50 to fill your tummy! The soup base flavour was really good. It's a really simple meal but definitely has the right flavours! read more

HK Style Cart food you'd find in Hong Kong but you can eat it indoors! The concept isn't really new as the predecessor here moved over to a bigger location. Still the variety although similar has its own differences and that's a good thing. So why come here? Well parking can be better and they have some different styles of chicken wings. My worry is that they can maintain the quality which doesn't seem to be a problem. I do like the difference in variety so it's worth coming here for that. I like how they did the interior. Friendly service too. read more

-Traditonal Hong Kong Snacky Goodness- For decent value, strong focus on its model, and keeping that Hong Kong feel alive. Milk Tea While I'm no expert in saying what is traditional and what isn't, I was told this place has pretty traditional Hong Kong style Milk tea where they pull the tea and use a sieve to filter the tea. It's true, the tea is pretty traditional and tastes great. We asked for less sugar to really get the tea flavours pop. And it delivers. Also it's fairly cheap which is great value. Fried chicken A light golden skin envelopes the hidden meat streaming with juices pouring out. Kind of impressive in a way. Curry fish balls Several mini fish balls nestled together in a plastic bowl. The curry isn't too spicy; it's more of a savoury affair. Deep fried cuttle fish balls This came as a freebie if you post on social media. It's airy and got a bit of an outer crisp. Decent. Cart noodle My Life choices: thin noodle, curry sauce for the broth, beef brisket, wonton, Vietnamese ham. It also comes with some veggies as part of the dish. Overall, the flavours are different from each other and pair well with the soup broth which is pretty decent on its own. There's a stunning sensation when you have to decide what toppings to choose from. The choices are biased towards meat, with veggie options are next to absent. Bad for people that prefer veggies. But good for basically anyone else. Cart Noodles are inherently junk foodish in its composition. So Embrace your inner fattie. read more

Most new restaurants usually have a dish or two that might make you contemplate if you should give them a second chance. BUT this restaurant, Block 18 Cart Noodle, was amazingly good! Nothing beats good drinks like Snow White (Vanilla ice cream in 7-up) or Black Bull (vanilla ice cream in coke) that gives you nostalgic childhood memories. Or even the Iced Lemon Ribena with 7-up that reminds you of good old HK! I expected the Iced HK Milk Tea and Iced Coffee to be the same as others but it was surprisingly good. It was not watered down nor overly sweetened. The appetizers were top notch! Been dying to try the deep fried cuttlefish ball after seeing pictures of it. The cuttlefish ball was big and the batter was the right crispy texture. The deep fried chicken wings were absolutely bigger and juicier than anywhere! The shrimp in deep fried shrimp wonton was a pretty generous size. The vegetable dish, Kai Lan with oyster sauce, may seem typical but it was a good add on. It was not over cooked or dripping with water like how you would find in most places. Overall the appetizers were amazing and I could not choose one to complain about rather I look forward to ordering them again and know I will be satisfied! Soup noodles! Nothing beats a good broth! This restaurant does not use powdered msg chicken stock. In fact, their soup is bone boiled broth. We had the spicy sauce, satay sauce, and beef brisket sauce. All three were such good compliments to the broth that we could not help but drink up the soup. Noodles of choice was plentiful. We could not finish it! You can tell by the portions and sizes of everything that this restaurant is not about skimping out! Even though it was a busy Thursday night, the service was still friendly and they were able to address our needs in a timely manner. I also have to add what I found interesting, very creative and well thought out about in this restaurant. There are table booths in the middle of the restaurant. Underneath the table counter they have a shelf that looks like a planter box but it's actually designed for patrons to put their purses and jackets in there making eating so much more comfortable. Definitely a satisfied, happy and returning customer! read more

This is a small restaurant where you can customize order soup noodles. There is also a small drink and snack section. I ordered a $7 two topping bowl (marinated egg and wontons with flat rice noodles) and added an iced lemon tea. I also added spicy sauce to the bowl and it was actually spicy! Food arrived fairly quickly. The portion size was good for an average eater. However, for big eaters this might not be enough and you would have to order a side of chicken wings or another snack. I am noticing that a lot of Richmond restaurants like to use take out containers for dine in customers. I find it environmentally unfriendly. read more

In a different location, this would be a 4, but given the competition in this part of the world, a three is about right. It's clean, neat, a little bare and without character, but I can see how it would appeal. It's sort of like a small Chinese Denny's. We asked for a hot drink as the day was cool, and we were given...and this is no bull...HOT WATER. We ordered some egg rolls and they were ordinary. The noodles were better, but still lacking. It must be said, however, that we were the only non-orientals in the place. And I guess the local Asian population wouldn't support this little place unless they thought it was good. read more

A very Hong Kong style 'cart noodle' stall that tries to stay true to the original flavour while rolling out new items here/there. I ordered rice noodle with four toppings, a side of brisket sauce and an order of new deep fried chicken wings (not the signature one). Overall, I like it. Their broth is not overly sweet or salty, just a good clear broth balance. My rice noodle was good, not stuck together/mushy, a good fluff. Toppings of beef tripe, fish cake edge, and cabbage and raddish/daikon were pretty good - daikon was a good highlight, stewed to moist and soft; and tripe were good-chewy and firm, freshly stewed. Daikon is always a must! The beef brisket sauce was packed with flavour from all the fat and juice from the stewed briskets, a bit sweet and savory with spice, this really adds a good punch to the bowl of noodle. Only thing was here/there I forgot about the brisket sauce sitting on the side, so I ended up not using it efficiently. I personally prefer just dashing it onto my bowl of noodle rather than dipping the toppings in it. Instead of their signature wings, I tried a new wing item on display, don't remember the name but it was peppery, coated with sesame, I think with cumin too. On its own - fairly good. The batter was different, bread-like and soft than crispy, not in an under-cooked way too. In a way, this becomes an 'disadvantage' - when you've had their crispy wings, this'd draw an underwhelming comparison. I still enjoy it, but you get what I mean. I believe this flavour/batter could stand out more if it was e.g, spareribs, etc without directly competing with the signature wings. Although drinks are not included in the meal, the price is super reasonable here. You can get pretty full easily. There are more than just mix-and-match noodles here. Plenty of attractive selections such as rice bowls and variety of snacks. I'd definitely try these items next time. Overall I like their food, and appreciate their flavour. The decoration on the wall was neat, showcasing all the 'cart noodle' or hong kong cafe items' names. Small cozy place that gives you that quick and simple ambiance. It'd be crowded on rush hour but otherwise you feel cosy. Service is great, very attentive and quick to order. Location is good, parking may be a challenge especially on the weekend due to the crowd. read more

I'm huge fan of cart noodles. The major difference between cart noodles and the other noodle places that also allows you to select your own toppings is the soup base. I enjoy the cart noodle broth which you can't get at, say deer garden or bubble waffle. I also like that they actually use beef brisket at cart noodle places where at the other two mentioned noodle shops, they give you flavourless and sometimes overcooked beef chunks. So block 18 is what took over the old location of wu fung. The concept is pretty much the same. I can't remember the price to compare but it's still fairly cheap. I enjoyed my noodles very much and thought that their broth may even be better than wu fund. I also ordered a side of their wings to try and found it very bland. For drinks, I tried the snow white which is basically sprite with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So think of an Italian soda kind of drink. I also tried their 7up with sour plum.. this was not the drink for me. But hey if you like it, they got it here. They also have stamp cards here. read more

There's so many of these customizable noodle places nowadays but I think Block 18 is my favorite thus far. The noodles are nothing special special but the broth is fantastic along with the sauces that come with it. I loved the beef brisket and the other toppings were pretty good too. We also shared a side of the fried chicken, which was well seasoned and perfectly fried. Service was definitely a step above as well, we'll definitely be back again. read more

I love eating at Block 18 Cart Noodle every week. Its my go to, DIY soup noodle. Service is a bit slow since the owner runs FOH by himself. He's super kind and is super hardworking so make sure to give some extra room time to go and wait for food to be served. Their butter garlic chicken wings and lemon probiotic drink are a must. Don't forget to collect stamp cards to redeem a snack! read more

As I eat out at least a dozen meals a week, I decided to use Yelp as a way to bookmark restaurants for me to return to. Often is the case tha I eat something I really like but forget to go back to it. This little gem is the first shop to make the list. Very affordable, tastes great and plenty filling. I had spicy rice noodle soup with brisket, as well as deep fried chicken wings. It's a great shop, reminiscent of the small noodle shops of Hong Kong. read more

Authentic honk kong cart noodle. The fried chicken skin is so crispy and tasty. The brine tripe and beef tendon are tender and exactly the taste I'm looking for. The waitress is very friendly. This place is small but clean. I'll certainly recommend to my friends. read more

I loved it. I know that others will come here and be not that impressed. It's yet another noodle soup shop. There are a dozen other HK-style cafes/diners with similar food. What I appreciated about the food here is that they went the extra mile to authentically recreate the cart-style noodles in Hong Kong. Every element, every ingredient was precisely considered. As the world changes, and Hong Kong especially, it's beautiful to see a bit of culinary history encapsulated in this small restaurant. read more

I really wanted to like this place as a fellow Cantonese speaker. I like their food but they have stingy service every time I go. Yesterday, the owner of the restaurant taught his employee to purposely exchange us smaller bills so that we would be forced to leave a bigger tip. We were also watching him coach him in that manner and in shock at how he didn't even think that we knew what he was saying in Cantonese. It's unreasonable to ask for such a big tip when there's no service to speak of. This didn't just happen once, but twice so far. Every time we go here, it's $33+ for 2 bowls of noodles, drinks, and 3 chicken wings. It's absurd! Unheard of prices and they need to stop their dirty business tactics because they just lost another loyal customer. read more

Food is ok, chicken wings not good, noodles just like you expect cart noodles to be, pretty delicious. Can't beat the price. The service is really sad, I asked for no sugar in my drink and it feels like there was extra syrup in it. It helps a little if you flag the guy down in loud Chinese. 5 star for me if they took their drinks as seriously as their noodles. read more

This is a pick, choose and make your own style of combination of noddle dish. I was a bit overwhelmed with the selection and combinations, therefore, I understand why they were a bit frustrated with me trying to make up my mind.

I meant to review this new cart noodles place for a while now but I kept forgetting. After seeing the three reviews on yelp today, which did not quite match my experience, I am curious and skeptic if this restaurant has improved since the day I visited, their Grand Opening day. I grew up in Hong Kong. Cart noodles is a big thing for me during my teenage time as it's cheap, dirty ("La Ja"), quick, and with a variety of selection. I still remember the old lady who pushed her cart outside my secondary school in Quarry Bay during lunch hour every day. My go-to items are pork blood, pork rind, pork intestine, chives, hot dog, gluten, tofu puff, curry fish ball, beef ball, and the "red sausage". I picked three items each time and rotated within my list. After moving to Canada, I didn't forgo my cart noodles. I tried as many cart noodles store as possible! I like the one at the old Aberdeen food court, called "Little Sweet/Sugar" (when there was a Chinese theatre inside Aberdeen Centre). They had the most amazing deep fried gingeri chicken wings. Two big downfalls I found in current days' cart noodles places are the lack of ginger flavor in the deep fried chicken wings and too much MSG in the soup causing insane thirst. I've also been to the cart noodles in the current Aberdeen food court, Parker Place food court, and Wo Fung on Park Road. Neither of them stands out particularly, the rating I gave them range from 3 to 3.5. So how does this new restaurant compares: 1. Décor/Space: Smaller than Wo Fung. It's clean and cute. 2. Quantity: Soup noodles was definitely on the small side despite it came with two strands of choy sum! I had tendon (2x pieces), pork intestine (3x extremely thin slices; i.e. each slice is less than 1cm thick), and fried fish cake edge (2x pieces). 3. Quality: The soup base was pretty good. I don't feel much thirst afterwards. The brisket sauce came in a little plastic container on the side. Chicken wings were fried well, they were tender and juicy but lack ginger and salt flavor. Tendon was stewed long enough and tender. Pork intestine was marinated well but the portion was way too small. The fish cake edge was not good, not bouncy and was on the salty side. My husband had the deep fried chicken leg, it was crispy but a bit over fried and had no flavor. We also ordered the deep fried quail eggs with cumin, this dish was a total disaster both texture wise and taste wise. (1)Texture: too little panko, didn't taste like deep fried. (2)Taste: barely had any cumin on it. So the whole dish had no texture and no taste! Gross! 4. Price: Same as Wo Fung but the portion is smaller here. 5. Service: Courteous and friendly but you will run into trouble if you need fork and knife. Hope they have changed this! 6. Environmental Friendly: It's BEYOND BAD!!! Other than the water that is served in a reusable plastic cup, everything is disposable! Plastic disposable bowl, plastic disposable container for sauce, disposable wood chopsticks, plastic disposable spoon. Deep fried items were placed on Styrofoam plates lined with wax/parchment paper. Good for the restaurant in saving headcount for washing dishes but very bad for the environment! I strongly urge this restaurant to reconsider what they are doing! It's understandable if you are in a mall food court but this is a restaurant! Overall rating for food is 3. Factoring in price, service, and environment, I give it a 2. read more

After reviewing the positive reviews on Yelp, our family of 5 decided to try this place out. Some of the photos posted from the noodle soups definitely do not match what was served, so not sure if those reviews were posted by family/friends of the establishment....ie, what our family got for each 'paid' noodle topping consisted of 2 tofu puffs, 2-3 tiny beef briskets, 2 fishballs, 2 tendons, etc. etc, so not sure why some photos are showing 10 fishballs? Anyways, I am writing this review not in a negative manner, but in the hopes that the café will read the feedback given and improve and make changes so that they do well and be successful in the future. I have read all of the reviews and agree with the comments given by "Derek Z" and "Brenda L". I tried the HK style Milk tea. It was cheaper than other cafes, tea was pretty authentic & tasted great, but we didn't like how they were served in a paper cup. Noodle soup broth was pretty good...didn't seem to have too much MSG which is a bonus these days. Noodles were typical and nothing special. Rice noodles were the thin cut type, not thick cut which we like. For $7/bowl, the portion size of the noodles with 2 free toppings were very very small. The chicken wings were fried well (juicy inside, crispy outside) but definitely lacked flavour. I agree with the other Yelpers, that even though it's an eat-in restaurant, they still use disposable plastic and styrofoam for everything (bowls/plates/cups/spoons). We felt like eating at the food court. Décor is small, but nicely decorated and clean. Friendly service. After tax & tip, our bill for 5 ppl, for 5 noodle soups and several side dishes and drinks came to almost $90. We all left still hungry. read more
