We walked into Utopia Noodles for a late lunch on the way up from Seattle on a Saturday afternoon…read more It's a relatively small restaurant with seating for 26 and seems to be a pretty popular destination for the locals, given that most of the tables were occupied inside. N01 Soy sauce-braised beef broth with noodles and beef brisket, spicy ($18) - Starting with the noodles - these are medium size wheat flour based noodles, cooked a little too far past perfection, so while still a bit bouncy, they are soft and get even softer while sitting in the soup. The broth has a good concentrated herbal flavor, definitely good as a beef braise, with some tomato umami essence mixed in that makes it almost nutty in flavor. The beef is nicely tender and fall apart, interspersed with a bit of fat and braised stringiness. Everything is just the right amount of spicy. A couple of sprigs of yuchoy jr are included, blanched well, not overcooked. The broth is flavorful but there's nothing special separating it from the pack. (4/5) N14 Marinated ground pork sauce ($17) - This dish includes the same noodle as above cooked to the same level. It's then tossed in a silky sauce that manages to coat the entire surface of the starch. The sauce is more saucy than thick and fatty, and while it has plenty of soy and umami, it's a little heavier on the vinegar than I prefer in this dish. There's plenty of ground pork and lardon pork belly, cooked until really tender and nice. (4/5) F01 Salt & pepper deep fried chicken ($13) - This dish came last. It's a pretty large portion of piping hot, burning chicken. It's dark meat, served skin on, surprisingly light in crisp (but not soggy) with light white pepper and salt seasoning. It's far less salty than most other places. The interior is remarkably fragrant with plenty of ginger and garlic essence accentuating the chicken. Some pieces are literally just fried chicken skin - think chicharrones, which I really enjoyed. (4/5) Utopia Noodles serves some pretty solid Taiwanese food. It's probably the best Taiwanese restaurant in the area under the south fork of the Fraser River. Washrooms - Single unisex room Food: [4/5] Service: [] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5

We ordered the soup with the expectation that it would be in some medium-sized bowl that the two of us can easily share. The soup actually was giant and is meant for a family. Luckily, it was absolutely delicious; the pork was super tender, the egg fits in perfectly, and the broth was tasty. Every drop was finished. The braised pork belly was also delicious. Tender and fatty, I wished there was so much more sauce for the rice to soak in. I'm also a super fan of pork floss, so loved its inclusion. The side is also noteworthy. The radish soup was so flavorful yet light, and the tofu was fantastic. Everything we ate was five stars on its own. Only panic was when paying our server said they only accept cash or debit? I only had credit cards and American money, but in the end, she was able to use my credit card. Not sure what that was about.

When going for lunch time, there was no wait and only a few people in the restaurant, at the time we went, so service was relatively quick. But upon sitting down and getting water, depending on who your server is, you might be waiting a good 10-20 minutes or if you are lucky, much quicker than that. With our server, we unfortunately got the slower side of service. Upon several minutes of glancing at the menu, putting the menu down and waiting for around 10-15 minutes to be serviced, the female waitress (Again, keep in mind the restaurant was NOT busy): Was on the phone the entire time or when she had the chance to be on it. Was giving a rude attitude the entire time to us and other customers. Kept passing our table about 7-8 times before we had to raise our voices to let her know we were ready. Never checked in with us after receiving the food or to refill water. I feel like there was a number of other things but those were what stood out to me and my family. When getting the food, we have no complaints on that, as the food was good, had a variety of choices to choose from and worth the price. In the end, towards paying and leaving the restaurant, my aunt hysterically asked the waitress, "Excuse me, are you sick or tired?" and I guess the waitress didn't respond and nodded.

You'd barely even notice this place unless you knew it was already there. There was a line up at 1pm outside the door when we left. We got in just in time when there was no line, and there was seating available. It was clean and had ample seating space for a small restaurant. We were seated and served promptly. The food portions were pretty large. We ordered a wonton soup, the T2 and the oyster pancake. The T2 was huge and definitely shareable, and the oyster pancake was delicious and definitely a good reason to come back. We were full when we left, and we had plenty to take home by the time we were done. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back in the future, especially for that oyster pancake.

I thought the food would be pretty good, but it was alright. I'd prefer to eat in Aberdeen or other Taiwanese restaurant though. This place is cash only.
