I like the way they have different Thai related art to bring up the vibe. Staff are nice and order came relatively quick. Food If you're down for Thai-fusion vibes, seafood-heavy noms and shareable eats + drinks -- this might be your new go-to. What I order: * Signature Lobster Boat Noodles -- perfect for seafood lovers * Thai-marinated prawns & shrimp cakes * Thai crab fried rice -- rich, savory, comfort food level * Curry & rice bowls for when you need warmth and spice Everything here hits different -- bold flavours, beautiful plating and total Thai-meets-Canto energy. I really like the fusion setup - so you get the best of both worlds!

Thai Boat Noodles By LC arrives on the Milliken dining scene with considerable ambition -- a…read moredevoted focus on Thai boat noodles, a broth reportedly simmered for ten hours from bones with no MSG, and a dining room dressed in warm, inviting décor that sets the stage for what promises to be an evocative meal. The presentation is commendable. Dishes arrive looking genuinely appealing, and the tableside arrangement of traditional condiments -- three distinct sauces alongside sugar -- is a thoughtful touch that invites diners to personalize each bowl, much as one would at a canal-side stall in Bangkok. The service, too, deserves recognition: attentive, gracious, and unhurried, lending an ease to the experience that many newer establishments struggle to achieve. Where the kitchen falters, however, is in the final calibration of flavour. As someone who has spent time in Thailand, and whose wife is Thai, I approached the menu with an informed palate and genuine anticipation. The ingredients are clearly fresh, and the effort behind the broth is evident, yet the seasoning lacks the assertive depth and layered complexity that defines authentic boat noodle cookery. The bold interplay of aromatics, the rich umami backbone, the lingering warmth -- these hallmarks remain just out of reach. The food is undeniably pleasant, but it does not yet transport. A promising newcomer with an earnest vision and a welcoming spirit. With more precise tuning of its flavour profiles, Thai Boat Noodles By LC has the potential to become a truly compelling destination. For now, it is a place of good intentions and agreeable company -- one to revisit as the kitchen finds its stride.

Staff work together like a well-oiled machine. The staff are polite albeit very busy. The braised Five-Spice beef was meltingly soft, zero fatty pieces and the broth and noodles were perfect (not salty, BONUS). Two sides of black fungus and Taiwanese kimchi came together well, washed down with a wintermelon drink. Spouse took the popcorn chicken to be air fried at home for later. Prices here are very fair and reasonable. If they increased the Five Spice levels just a little, it would taste like real Taiwanese beef and noodles.

The restaurant is located in a plaza with quite a few other restaurants, and parking can be a little tricky depending on when you go. We had to wait a bit for a table, and the restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with mostly smaller tables. We tried three dishes: the beef noodles (of course we had to get this!), a braised rice, and the popcorn chicken. The service was quite fast, and our food came out quickly as well. It seems though not all of the staff seemed very comfortable speaking English, but they were still attentive. The noodles were good, with some nice pieces of meat and vegetables. That said, for a place that specializes in noodles, I was expecting the broth and noodles themselves to stand out a bit more. They were enjoyable, but didn't quite leave a lasting impression. The rice was a little bland on its own, but they had some pickled vegetables on the table that I added to it, and honestly, those pickled veggies ended up being the highlight of the entire meal! They were so good that I seriously considered buying some to take home. The popcorn chicken was decent, crispy on the outside and nicely seasoned, though the portion was on the smaller side. Overall, I found the portions to be pretty small, especially for the rice and chicken. All in all, it was a decent and enjoyable meal, and I'm glad we finally gave it a try. However, since it's quite a distance for me, I personally didn't find it quite distinctive enough to purposefully make a trip back. If I'm in the area again, though, I'd definitely be open to stopping by!

There's around ten tables inside and it was not super busy on a Sunday night. I got the soup lamb noodle, pork pan fried buns and the pork dry noodle. My favourite was the buns.

Both of the noodles had very little meat though. Service was quick, not super friendly but was attentive when we need it.

The sides are also worth ordering. The fries and fried pork were both delicious and paired really well with a bowl of noodles. I also tried the chicken noodles, but they were quite bland compared to the Sichuan option, so I wouldn't recommend those. One big plus is the value: once you finish your noodles, you can get a refill, which makes it very filling for the price. Service is fast and there's plenty of seating inside. The ambiance is pretty basic and nothing memorable, but it's ideal for a quick meal or grab-and-go. Overall, this place offers great value. The Sichuan noodles and sides are definitely worth getting, especially if you're craving something quick and spicy.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is a very famous ramen brand with more than 50 restaurants globally. I feel…read morea bit embarrassed that I haven't been to any of them. Its menu already shows its uniqueness: its signature ramen is shio ramen, which simply means salt ramen. Unlike other ramen restaurants that often promote their strong and heavy-flavoured pork broth, Santouka just says "salty broth." I think it really reflects Japanese culture and spirit. The chef's craftsmanship shows that using simple ingredients is enough to make flavorful food. I ordered the Shio Ramen and an Aji-tama (medium-boiled egg). It still had a very strong savoury flavour and wasn't too salty at all. To be honest, it tasted like pork broth to me. Whatever it was, it made me feel comfortable while having the ramen and after the meal. Meals at other ramen restaurants are usually too salty. Sorry, I am playing with words here, because it is interesting that the "salty broth" isn't too salty, while other broths are usually saltier. The branch in Scarborough is spacious and very suitable for dining with family, friends, or even business associates. The plaza it is in is a very competitive area for noodle cuisine. You can add Hokkaido Ramen Santouka to your radar the next time you go there.

We ordered a spicy veggie ramen with egg noodle (kale noodle was also an option for the veggie bowl) and a shio ramen. The ramen itself was average and I didn't think it was amazing but not disappointing for a bowl of ramen. I liked that I was able to customize the saltiness of the broth. We also added on an egg to our noodles, but the yolk was less jammy (a tad overcooked) for my liking. The parking lot will probably the biggest nightmare if you've never been to this plaza. The space between the parked cars is narrow and there is a lot of traffic in and out of the area.

Curry fish balls is my all time favourite, so I'm glad I have another new spot to get it whenever I'm craving it.

The Mapo gamjatang tofu was underwhelming. The meat was super tender and plentiful, tofu is soft, but the overall flavour was lacking and even though it stated on the menu it was spicy, had no spice.
