For the price and the quality, I'd say that it's A-OK average. I got the beef bowl - noodles pretty good, broth not enough flavor for me, veggies extra $. read more

Have been to GB a few times. The menu is simple. Basically the same noodle soup base with meat. The selection is with or without chillies, size of soup and the thickness of the noodles. It is very popular and always line up at lunch (never been to dinner). Soup base is flavorful. Noodles are handmade and quite tasty. I like it enough that I have been back a few times but I usually avoid peak times and go a but earlier or later. They do have other small items as sides as well read more

I may slightly biased because I am less familiar with these type of noodles. Came here on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't busy, but there were still people in the restaurant. The menu is very straight forward, so we were able to order quickly. Me and my friend both got the spicy soup, he got thicker noodles and i got the medium flat ones. The soup was realyl flavourful and the stuff in the soup was good too, albeit limited (as the noodles are supposed to be the focus of the dish...or so I understand). The noodles themselves were not great. They tasted a little underdone (especially the fat ones). If you're looking for fast service, and standard food, then it's not bad. But I don't really think it's worth the line. read more

A really nice small restaurant, the Lanzhou beef noodle is simply delicious. All the dishes are under 10$, a small Lanzhou beef noodle soup fills your stomach for the entire day. The service is fast. The beef broth is so tasty. Arrive early though, as the restaurant is always filled! read more

This place is uber busy during the lunch rush, there's usually a line, though it does move pretty fast. It was also very cramped inside and difficult to maneuver without bumping into ppl. Other than that, this place had a solid bowl of beef noodles. I asked wht the waiter recommended and tbh i can't remember which one we got--it was a few months ago. But tbh id prefer mei nung beef noodle house in markham. I'd come back here if i'm looking for noodle soup dt. read more

GB Hand-pulled Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fantastic handmade Chinese noodle restaurant near the Eaton's Centre. The noodles come in 6 sizes and are the perfect texture and consistency. The soup is extremely delicious and they give you the option if you would like to add cilantro to your soup. They have the most simple menu with just two items for the main dishes. I will 100% be back here. read more

Good place, good service, food came kinda late however it was really good and the portions were good and fair read more

GB Hand-pulled Noodles - Good portions for the price! - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I ordered the small #2 sized noodle soup and my wife and daughter split a small ja-ja mein. We also ordered a side order of jelly fish with sesame oil. I have to say it was FANTASTIC. Watching the guy hand pull the noodles was a lot of fun. How he can make it look so easy and make it taste so good is an art. The broth was flavorful and not salty. The beef and radishes in my noodle soup was a delight. The ja-ja mein was equally delicious. Our jellyfish appetizer was seasoned very well with the sesame oil and slivers of cucumber. Overall, this place is a KEEPER and incredibly reasonable in price. read more

I really wanted to like this place but it definitely fell short for me. This place is super tiny, they'd definitely have lines out the door if they're instantly busy. The menu is very simple, with one noodle option and a few appetizers. You can choose your noodle thickness and the server asks which ingredients you don't want included. The noodles were chewy & cooked to perfection, but the soup didn't do it justice. The soup was things went downhill - it was beyond salty. :( Although I liked this place, I don't think I'd come back with so many other noodle shops around! read more

GB is pretty new to the block. With a simple menu, GB offers a bowl of beef (pork or veggie as well) noodles where you can choose the size and thickness of your noodle. Size 3 was recommended by the waiter making for slightly thicker than spaghetti style noodles. I got mine spicy although there are chillies sauce on every table for you to customize it yourself. Definitely recommend getting a small (and maybe extra meat) as the bowl is more than filling enough! read more

A stone throw away from Eaton Centre, this is now my go-to destination for authentic noodles. Great price and dish sizes. Small location but there are bar and table seats for 2-5 people. Simple menu with two main dishes, a beef noodle soup and a minced pork noodle dish with soup on the side. Ordered both and they were mouthwateringly satisfying. Also, they were extremely generous with the portions. The mega size for the beef soup are not for the faint hearted - more than enough for 3 people. As a person with many vegetarian friends, it's important to note there are no vegetarian dishes! read more

Small store but the service is always quick so generally the wait is not extremely long. Delicious noodles, could have slightly more meat in the classic lanzhou noodle option but still a delight to eat. The dry noodles and classic Lanzhou noodles are delicious. read more

Pho has always been my go-to soup. Looking to spice things up, literally and figuratively, I decided to try out GB Hand-pulled Noodles as an alternative. Can't recommend it enough! I personally go for the fattest noodles, and normally order the XL to share between two people. read more

Wow... Simply delicious! Next time I'm in town I will definitely be eating here again! The best part is its central location in Toronto! Usually busy so plan ahead, and honestly if you have to wait it's totally worth it! read more

I may not know much about Noodle buy these are definitely not what I expect. I ordered the wide size thinking it'd be thinner but it's thick and chewy. read more

Came on a Tuesday around 5:00pm. It's a very small establishment and by 5:30pm there was a line up. We sat at the bar. We ordered the kimchi, spicy cucumber, spicy beef shin, the potato and the marinated egg to start. All but the egg are cold appetizers. Good portions. I'm not really into preserved or pickled things (potato salad and kimchi) but my friend said they were tasty. I had the vegetable soup with thick noodles- yum! Noodles were chewy and the both is not too salty and has a nice kick to it. Service was quick and efficient. The manager or maybe owner came by and asked us how we liked everything. Would return. read more

I was really excited to try this place after seeing its strong reviews, however this is by far the worst noodles I have ever eaten. I ordered its thick noodles and they were so hard to chew on that I stopped eating after two bites. The broth was very mediocre and the beef was dry and extremely overcooked. This place is NOT representative of traditional hand-pull noodles. Definitely don't recommend spending your money here. read more

Conveniently located diagonal from the bus station, yet much better than someone like me deserves as a mere bus passenger. Broth and noodle flavor are just right, up to the usual standard for this sort of restaurant. The noodles don't quite have the chewiness of the LanZhou place in Montreal, though. read more

Super busy Asian restaurant! I'm not sure if they have enough seating as they were in a corner in the wall. Great noodles though and the soup is heavenly! I recommend this top out of all the noodle soups I had before. read more

We ordered the dry noodles (thick) with soup on the side. Food arrived quickly. The noodles were perfectly chewy and springy. They were so, so so delicious. Fresh, hand-pulled noodles really make a difference. The pork sauce was fantastic and the toppings fresh. We also ordered the cucumbers. They were alright but I would not order them again. Bathrooms were clean! read more

Great noodles, amazing to watch being made by hand. Flavor was fantastic and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Kimchi on the side was good too. I'll definitely return next time to Toronto read more

This place gets quite busy! Came here for dinner on a Thursday and luckily we got a table for 2 in 10 minutes. The menu is pretty simple (which is awesome) and they took our orders while we were waiting. We ordered the jellyfish and I got the thinnest noodles while my friend got the third smallest. I really enjoyed the thinnest noodles because it gets all the flavour in while my friend liked the thicker ones because they were chewier. Although we both got small bowls there was soooo much food that we didn't even finish it all! Jellyfish was also good. I ordered it spicy and it wasn't too hot - there's extra chili oil on the table for those who want it spicier. The only downside is that because the place is quite small and they get pretty busy - the waiters put the bill on our table and stood there until we paid even before we finished eating to get us to hurry up! Service is meh but I'll come back for the noodles. :) read more

One of the best hand pulled noodles places in Toronto! You can choose your noodle size, as well as the bowl size. The small is a very generous portion, but if you're feeling extra hungry (or if you plan on sharing with someone), I would recommend getting the large. My go-to is always the basic beef noodle bowl. The noodles have an amazing hand-pulled chewy texture, but my favourite part was the broth. I got my noodles spicy, and the broth with the spicy was absolutely delicious! Very clear, and not at all oily. The beef wasn't anything special, but the noodles and broth make this place a must try! The interior of the shop is quite small, so expect to wait in line for at least 20 minutes if you go when it's busy. The staff keeps the line moving, however, so you'll definitely get in eventually to taste the delicious noodles! read more

If you are in the mood for noodles and want to try something other than the ramen that has taken over the city then you gotta try this place. It's the best of it's kind in the city. The freshest noodles possible and lots of interesting options that you won't find at this quality. read more

Pretty great! The amount of food you get for the price is generous. I made the mistake of ordering a large for $10.99 with standard thickness noodles thinking it'd be small. I could barely clear half a bowl and I was full. I'm definitely gonna go for a small next time. Must-try in the Bay-Dundas area! read more

Arrived Friday night at around 9 pm, the Dry Noodle with Tomato and Egg was sold out (not sure how egg and tomato can sell out, I could literally grab it from my fridge down the street and ask them to cook it for me) so I tried their vegetarian broth and it was surprisingly great. My sister got the mega size Special Lanzhou Beef Noodle and it was massive (could feed 2-3 people). We really enjoyed our meal, food was great, very large portions, and friendly staff. So great, I went back the next day to try the dry noodle, and I have to say, their soup noodle is actually better than the dry! read more

I'm not sure if it's because I'm just not a fan of this style of food, but i was underwhelmed by the food. I ordered the kuan noodles with pork sauce and my husband ordered lanzhou xi noodles and we shared the spicy cucumber. I thought both noodle dishes tasted pretty good, but there seemed to be only one note to the flavour. Half way through the meal I thought to myself that I would never crave this nor would want to come back. The cucumber was also disappointing, but I'm not sure what this dish is supposed to taste like. I just didn't like it. The noodle making was also very loud. Made me as well as the people at the table next to us jump. The service was friendly and the place was small and cute. read more

This place is really fun at first. There's a man hand-pulling noodles at the front counter. Great to watch. Slightly less lovely later when your dinner conversation is intermittently interrupted by heavy dough slapping loudly a few feet away... I had the no. 3 noodles in beef soup. It had a smokey flavour that was nice enough, but it desperately needed freshness... Fun, but not quite able to deliver. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! I got 1211 (sliced noodles with lamb in soup) the last time I went while my girlfriend got 1210 (slice noodles with chicken with no soup). The service is quick and the prices are decent. The food really hits the spot on a cold winter day. A must try! read more

This is a great little noodle shop! Despite its small menu (soup noodles OR zhajiangmian) the taste is exactly what you'd expect from a traditional noodle shop that serves hand-pulled noodles. The place is very small and busy so it's best to get there early before it fills up. Portions are also extremely generous and definitely hard to finish a large on your own. Service is usually surprisingly fast as the place is very well staffed for its size. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. It's amazing! If you can get a seat. Overall thoughts. This place gets a 5 star because of their consistently amazing noodle soup. While the other dishes are also good, you gotta go for the noodle soup! The store itself is really quite small, and they definitely make the most out of it. And by that I mean you'll probably bump elbows with quite a few people (literally). I usually get there around 5:30 and pretty much always have to wait about 10-15mins before being seated. Probably the best feature of the store is the noodle puller at the front. You get to watch some one hand make noodles right in front of your eyes which is really cool (and quite loud actually). Now for the service. They're generally quick, and despite the size of the store, they have quite a few people on staff to keep up with the many customers. I really feel like they're trying their best to address everyone and have no complaints! The food. I think i've ordered everything from their (very small menu) and Oh. My. Gosh. The noodle soup is BOMB. The broth reminds me of a lighter, sweeter pho that just tastes soooo good with chili oil. Its super comforting yet quite complex in flavour. The size of the bowls are also HUGE. I think for most people, the 'small' will be enough to get you full and the 'large' you will be stuffed. And a mega is not for light hearted but great to share with a friend or 2. The dry noodles are also good but only come in one size and only flat noodles. I felt this dish was definitely a weaker. Pretty good flavour, but not as complex and personally, a bit too salty for my liking. It does however come with a small bowl of the same soup you get in the noodle soup! Lastly the side dishes. I was considering docking a star because they no longer seem to be offering their jelly fish dish! This was the most refreshing snack! But during my last visit it seemed to have been replaced by potato??? Someone please let me know if it comes back! I need more of that delicious chewiness with aromatic sesame oil in my life. I've also gotten the Jelly beef dish which is also quite good. This is the same beef that goes on the noodle soup but cold and covered with a sweet and spicy oil based marinade. The flavour is great but its a bit more oily than I would like. Also this is probably the most 'expensive' thing on the menu. I believe one dish is about $7 and you don't get very much. Keep in mind the small noodle soup is only $7.99! read more

They just opened 3 days ago and I can already tell that I'll be here a lot. Authentic hand pulled noodles with thinly slides marinated beef in a savoury broth. The atmosphere is cheery with great service. They only have one main dish on the menu but there are a huge variety of noodle shape and sizes to choose from. I picked the medium 3 sized noodle in a large bowl which was suggested to me. The noodles are made fresh in front of you. It can be a bit loud so don't sit at the bar if you're concerned. I waited about 8 minutes for my bowl because they don't make the noodles ahead of time. I watched as they go straight from the guy making the noodles into the boiling pot. read more

Noodles are fresh. Soup was good too but I've had better. HK milk tea wasn't good here but wasn't expecting it to be. Seating area is basic

They make the noodles when you order so they're super fresh! Large portions with lots of noodles, meat, veggies. You can specify if you want thin, thick, flat noodles. They have braised beef on the weekends only. The price is also excellent for the amount of food you get! Small beef noodle is 10$. I got the minced beef and left so full for only 17$ including tax and tip. read more

Finally got around to trying this recommended establishment on a chilly November day. We had the mega beef noodle soup, spicy, and opted for the med wide noodle. The noodles had a slightly chewy texture which I prefer. Thickness did vary a bit but then these are after all freshly made hand pulled noodles. Soup base was tasty and just right - not overly salted. Beef slices a bit on the tough side though. Too bad the beef tendon wasn't ready at the time of our order. Next time! Over all a nice meal for a reasonable price. Service friendly and attentive, establishment clean. read more

I work close by so this is pretty convenient location for lunch. It's a small place so if you're going for lunch on a weekday, go before 1145 unless you like lining up for things... There are so many hand pull noodle stores around now and this one doesn't disappoint. Not the best as the service was mediocre but the food held up to a good standard. Customizable noodle thickness is nice, except you really don't know what tastes better without having tried it before lol...so maybe the choice isn't that great of an idea? But flat noodles are cool. I'd come back because i'm so close by, but maybe not a plate I'd go out of the way to eat at. I have my fave place for hand pull noodles heh...sorry read more

I really wanted to come back and give this place a 5!! I ordered the same beef soup but his time I tried a thicker noodle but it wasn't cooked thoroughly. Everything else was great like last time, and even the chilli sauce was better in my opinion. The service was also pretty good despite what other reviews have mentioned. I also got the tea egg this time and it was cooked well with lots of flavour! read more
