I heard they opened a location in Ajax and we were in the neighbourhood and decided to check it out. The parking lot situation was pretty straightforward. They have their own private lot, but they share it with a coin laundry and it looks a little rundown. As you enter the restaurant, there were already a few diners eating, but mostly it was pretty empty. Service was pretty efficient. You didn't really need to interact with any of the servers as they have QR code menus at every table and you would just order through your phone, even as far as submitting through your phone and it would go straight to the kitchen. Their menu is pretty limited. They're known for their rice noodles, but for a lot of the soup noodle dishes you had the choice between a wheat noodle, a flat noodle, which they told us was sold out, and then their original rice noodle. The food came pretty fast. We also ordered their take on popcorn chicken, but they called them chicken bites. They were more so like western chicken nuggets, but smaller and didn't have that like Taiwanese popcorn chicken taste, which they never technically advertised but at most Asian places when they sell Chicken bites/popcorn chicken I just automatically referred to those familiar flavour profiles. The chicken bites came with a mayo based dipping sauce. It came out hot and fresh. They were kind of just OK and then our noodle soup dishes came out. I ordered the original and my partner ordered a spicy version. I did decide to choose less salt, which was an option that I do appreciate, however the braised beef in my noodle dish was really tough and the brisket in my partner's noodle dish was extremely dry so we left kind of unsatisfied with the meal. I also just feel like if you're not a fan of that mala spice then you might not like any of the dishes here because all their soup bases has that northern China peppercorn soup base. I don't think I'll be coming back even though they've given me a customer stamp card. I prefer my braised beef soup noodles with bouncy hand pulled noodles and the braised beef tender. read more
