Rice Noodle in Fish Fillet w/ Pickled Cabbage Soup.
Carla R.

A quaint little noodle house on a busy street offers delicious food. We had never a hot pot before so our server kindly helped explain how to best enjoy our meal. We each had a hot pot one with beef and another with white fish. The fish was light and delicate. The broth was so rich and had a bit of spice. It was Devine. We also tried crispy tofu and ribs. Yum yum. Yum. Can't say enough about their food. Try it. You'll love it. You'll find the place streaming with a steady flow of friendly customers and take away orders going out the door.

Amazing service! As soon as we walked in, one of the waiters immediately sat us down with a choice of lemon water or hot tea, menus, a spoon, and chopsticks. The food is amazing, well flavored, and plenty hot. The place is well decorated and very clean. They come by every once in a while to refill your water and serve some salted nuts while you wait for your food. Being able to speak Chinese is recommended.

2023 update: Still the place to go for affordable rice noodles! They have a deal where you can get an appetite, noodles, toppings, and a drink for around $20 after tax and tip. There are also choices for different dietary restrictions. Washrooms are downstairs. 2018: Good value: boiling broth, unlimited noodles, and 10 side dishes. From my experience, the broth is quite lean and the noodles are nothing special - it tastes healthy to me for some reason. Clean washrooms

Aside from the typical Chinese service attitude, it's a bit of a fun meal. The showy and not necessary massive tray of cold and raw accompaniments is a little too space consuming (table for 2 is too small for two people). I'm not sure if there's unlimited free noodles, as the waiter asked a few times if I wanted more. If the portion wasn't as big, I would have definitely accepted the offer for more noodles. The broth is amazingly good, and would have downed the whole thing if my stomach was capable of such volume. A little note about my Chinese service experience. It's not a bad thing, assuming you're fine with being told aggressively how to order (as if she's in a rush with only 2 other tables who already have they meals), and then aggressively but in a humorous way to just dump everything in the boiling pot of soup - as if she knows I like everything . May be I elicit such attitude because I come across as hopeless?

Wow this place was great! Quite a few number of options, great prices (especially for a downtown location), very good food, friendly service, and free refills (on rice, noodles, and broth)! I got N10 - the FuDao rice noodle in curry soup ($10.99) and thought the broth was so , finished up all my broth and got a refill for my second bowl of noodles. It comes with the toppings pictured in the menu (pork, corn, mushrooms, etc) as well. The broth was super creamy and delicious and was like liquidized curry sauce made into soup! The prices were great for what you're getting (and I wouldn't even factor the refills into that!) and the food is overall just really good. Only tip is that it'd probably be helpful to have someone who speaks mandarin with you as the staff seemed much more familiar with that. but I really enjoyed my time and meal and would be happy to come back!

Thai Curry soup base
Stephanie N.

I simply can not rave enough about this place!! Very good price for the amount and quality of food! This is another place that serves crossing the bridge noodles (a boiling hot broth with toppings on the side that you add into the soup to cook/warm up) with unlimited noodle refills. They have a wide variety of soup bases ranging from original to pickled cabbage to tomato to spicy ones. My personal favourites are the thai curry (not too spicy) and tomato. They are always adding new flavours such as the recent tom yum. Each soup comes with a bowl of rice noodles and 10 toppings with meat. Sometimes the toppings are on rotation but you usually get: a quail egg, corn, black fungas, fish tofu, shrimp, squid/ham/sausage slices, corn, and tofu skin. It is recommended to put in the meat first into the soup to cook it. Most of the toppings are cooked already so it is just reheated in the soup. NOTE: When you receive your plate of toppings, you can ask to switch out a few for other ones instead! TIP: If you go before 5pm, they have a 'lunch' special where you get a soup combo with an appetizer and a pop for $10.99!! Previously their combo was a cold appetizer instead of their hot ones. Side Dishes: For their hot ones, the deep fried cuttlefish balls are my absolute favourite. They come in an amazing sauce as well. The takoyaki is not bad but a little bit too doughy for my taste. I tried the fried tofu but its a bit soggy and too saucy. For their cold ones, I like the garlic cucumber or the duck tongue with seaweed salad. Service: Fast and attentive. They would usually remind you to order quickly as well especially if you are borderline near the cut off time for the lunch special. Overall, YES. Come here and get your noodle fix!

Place: This place is so my favorite! I cannot stress how this is probably a top thing to do in Toronto. Service: The service is pretty good. They are good at providing the necessary things needed for your entrees or what you ordered. Food/price: The food is known for their hotpot and "DIY broths". It is worth your buck because it is really fun making your own soup. There are some dishes where the noodles are all you can eat. SO WORTH Audience: A lot of my friends said that they really love going here when they travel to Toronto. Good for friends or dates! Recommend/tips? I highly recommend this place and the tip would be come when it is not that busy! So not the typical lunch/dinner times.

Crispy tofu
Michael L.

Came in around 8 PM and it was still quite busy, though the restaurant isn't that big maybe 30-40 seats. Service is pretty good you can see a waitress going around from time to time checking up on water refills. This restaurant specializes in crossing bridge rice noodle soup, which you might have seen with the platter of a ingredients beside a stone bowl of hot broth and a bowl of rice noodles on the side. They have a dozen different soup bases for you to choose from whether you like it spicy, sour, or something light. I ordered the new kimchi soup. It arrived in about 10 minutes, but it was hot and visibly boiling in the bowl. Had a nice flavor; not too salty not too spicy. The soup was quite light in texture, not too much grease, and easy to go down. There's enough soup for two or three refills of noodles if you have a larger appetite. The ingredients provided include a piece of shrimp, mushrooms, chinese sausage, ground meat, sliced meat, and tofu, which is a pretty nice mix. According to the menu they have a daily afternoon special between 2 and 5 where you can get any noodle, a cold dish, and a soft drink for only $10.99 which is pretty nice if you're having a late lunch, or an early dinner.

Chicken ginseng rice noodles
Kerry W.

It was one of those evenings when I wasn't up for anything heavy for dinner. My friend suggested ginseng chicken rice noodle soup, and I thought, why not. Something herbal will do me good. And it proved to be the right choice. If you haven't tried chicken ginseng soup, give it a go. Ginseng is supposed to help with your immune system and boost your energy, which is perfect for this chilly autumn evening. My order came within 10 mins. The soup was lightly fragrant with a myriad of flavours that tantalized the tastebud. The soup was light and non greasy, with a touch of bitter sweetness. It was excellent for my sensitive stomach. There were lots of ingredients in the bubbling boiling hot bowl such as vegetables, eggs, chicken, tofu skin etc. I also tried the fried chicken appertizer and tofu, albeit reluctantly at first because I didn't want anything heavy. To my surprise, it wasn't oily and was tasty. I also drank a can of cooling herbal tea that was refreshing... a nice balance to the ginseng soup. Last but not least, the service was exceptional. I like how the server came back with a second bowl of soup to refill. He was very thoughtful. Thank you Fudao for your amazing hospitality. I love how you welcome us and made us feel at home.

Picked cabbage soup
Amy L.

Went to Fudao a couple more times since my first review and also ordered takeout during covid. Props to them for really packing as much soup and noodles as they could for their takeout orders (unlike Dagu). I had to split up the order for two meals because there was so much food!

Pork and pickled vegetables broth.
Kaori T.

I think I ordered the wrong broth here. I probably would have enjoyed my meal much more but the broth was overpowering, a lot more pungent than I'm used to. But I powered through it and it ended up being good. So point is, don't get the pickled vegetable with pork broth unless you know what you're getting into! I wish I could come here to try more soups. I love the concept: Piping hot soup still boiling as you dip the veggie and other condiments in. Add a few slices of pork and then the noodles as your last bet. Very presentable and affordable!

Signature Hot pot and spicy hot pot
Mn U.

Totally in love with this place. I always come and order hot pot for my meal and feel really full whenever I finish. I would recommend try hot pot with noodles. When you become a regularly customers, the manager will give u the soy milk for freee. Lol that's what I love from this store. I love the way the manager treat his customers. They're so nice

Carmel P.

Came here for lunch on a weekday and quite enjoyed this place. I ordered the original broth with the regular set of 10 ingredients and it was really tasty. It was fun putting in the ingredients one by one and preparing my own meal. And then equally fun to taste each ingredient directly from the soup when it came time to eat it. Though the idea of making your own soup with "10 ingredients" sounds like a fad, I would totally come back as the broth was very flavourful and well worth the price. Definitely recommend !

Chopfire - Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($39.95)

I've been craving Szechuan-style whole grilled fish for the longest time, so I was really happy…read morewhen I stumbled across this spot while walking on Spadina. The posters outside caught my eye, and I decided to come back with a group of three friends to try it out. We came a bit late around 8 PM, and most of the fish were already sold out except the original. We ended up ordering the Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($40), a whole fish served bubbling hot with three toppings (potatoes, spam, and lotus root). You can choose between catfish and turbot, we chose the turbot fish. It looked extremely spicy, but the spice level was actually perfect. It was a bit on the oily side, but pairing it with rice balanced it out nicely. The fish was very tender and buttery, everything tasted amazing! We also ordered the Stir-Fried Egg with Tomato. The eggs were soft, the tomato sauce was rich. Not to mention the portion size was huge, we even had leftovers after eating until we were full. The restaurant itself was spacious, clean, and had plenty of seating. I think they were doing some sort of promotion so they gave us a $25 off coupon, though it expired pretty quickly so we didn't get to use it. I'd definitely come back for that grilled fish.

This is a new Chinese restaurant featuring Hunan and Szechuan cuisine. The spicy dishes emphasize…read morespiciness, not numbness. A few of their dishes come out on a sizzling plate with flames underneath. They are still in soft-opening mode with several specials. You can see the menus via a QR code. The Hunan cuisine is listed as "Hunan Noodles" and the Szechuan cuisine is listed as "Chopfire Menu". The Szechuan dishes are listed with 1 to 3 chilies representing the spiciness. If you can't handle spicy, then avoid eating the chili pieces and you might "survive". The restaurant decided to minimize their food offerings so that they can focus on refining their dishes in terms of quality and taste, including from customer feedback. We ordered the following: 1. Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($39.95). 2. Home Stir Fried Beef ($21.95). 3. Bullfrog with Baby Ginger ($19.95). 4. Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork ($15.95). 5. Drunk Oolong (charcoal roasted oolong tea base) x 2 ($5.95 x 2). 6. Lemon Taro Balls ($7.95). We also saw the following: 7. Stir-Fried Sliced Pork with Green Pepper Noodle Soup ($9.99). First 10 customers each day, only pays $1.00. 8. Ink Painting Cocktail ($5.95). The Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish came out on a huge sizzling platter. The BBQ Fish, a Turbot Fish, was very fresh and flaky, easily coming off the bone. There is no head attached like at typical Chinese restaurants but it would not have fit in the platter. The platter had a delicious sauce (soupy consistency and not sweet), luncheon meat slices, lotus root slices, and two other vegetables, along with chili pieces. The entire dish tasted great together with the various flavours. The menu listed it as 2-chili spicy but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Home Stir Fried Beef is tender. It is listed as 3-chili but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Bullfrog with Baby Ginger has the bullfrog cut up in little pieces; no you don't see a whole frog! The meat was actually good but most pieces have bones in it, so it takes time to eat it carefully. There was ginger slices in it but it, but we thought the slices were quite large! The Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork was very delicious! It came in a sizzling plate. The Cauliflower was flavourful and was not crunchy and not too soft. I've never had preserved pork slices before; it was quite good, not as salty as Chinese preserved vegetables. The Drunk Oolong has comes in a small bowl a with gin and ice. On the side, they include pieces of the charcoal roasted oolong tea leaves so you can smell it; quite a good smell indeed. You can also order it without the gin, which is what I ordered for mine (since I don't drink alcohol). It was such a nice drink! The Lemon Taro Balls dessert was pretty. In the centre was a slice of lemon. The customer service was good. There is plenty of indoor table and counter seating, including a small private room at the back. There is also an outdoor patio during warmer weather. There is pop music playing in the background. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-026

The noodles were perfectly textured, crunchy, and bouncy. The soup was made according to HK standards - the proper way with dried shrimp flavor. It was rich and strongly flavored that way.

Mott 32 absolutely feels like one of those places where the entire experience matters just as much…read moreas the food. From the moment we walked in, the space already set the tone.. dark, dramatic, elegant, and beautifully designed without feeling overly stiff. It has that upscale energy that makes dinner feel like an occasion before you've even ordered anything. Food-wise, there was a lot to love. The signature apple wood roasted Peking duck was definitely a highlight, especially with the tableside carving, which made the whole experience feel even more polished and memorable. The skin had that beautiful lacquered finish, and the duck was rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. We also ordered a few larger dishes for the table, and I really appreciated how everything still felt refined without losing that comforting, indulgent side of Chinese dining. Some dishes leaned rich and luxurious, others were lighter and more aromatic, so the meal never felt repetitive. Service was another standout. Attentive without hovering, smooth without being too formal.. exactly the kind of service you hope for in a restaurant like this. Overall, Mott 32 is absolutely the kind of place I'd come back to for a special dinner, celebration, or just one of those nights when you want the meal to feel a little more elevated than usual.

Finally back for dim sum…read more First off, they need to fix their reservation system. Don't accept 1:45pm reservations if the dining room closes at 2pm. Also, when we call to check if dim sum is being served, it makes sense to inform us of the dining room closure instead of having us come in anyway. We settled for eating in the lounge which ended up being good because bartender, Aiki?, was excellent as our server. Really great. Ordered the following: King prawn Har gow: standard. Not worth the premium Mott charges. Miso black cod dumpling: not good. Wouldn't order again Shredded Peking Duck Spring Roll, Sliced Vegetable : Excellent. We loved this! Nice and crunchy. Delicious duck inside. Good vinegar dipping sauce. Good volume Hot & Sour Iberico Pork Shanghainese Soup Dumplings: Fantastic and unique. The dumplings don't really need dipping sauce since inside there is a hot and sour soup along with pork. These are unique and delicious. Fried Wagyu beef taro croquette : pretty good but really tasted like a Jamaican patty Cold noodle with shredded duck : very generous with meat. Honestly a lot more than any other restaurant that serves this. To be fair no one charges this much either so it should. Flavour could be stronger but certainly decent. Fresh Mango, Coconut, Glutinous Rice Roll: nice fresh dessert. Our favourite. Frozen xiao long bao with chocolate and nut: Tastes like a mochi. Not bad. Dragonball Zen - fun name. Delicious drink. Jasmine Dragon Ball Infused Tanqueray Gin / Peach Liquor Lime / Rose Water / Mint / Seltzer Over $200 for this meal before tip. It's premium an debatable if with it. Will be back but just occasionally.
