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

The beef in it was good but not many pieces. 3.5/5. Taiwanese stir fry rice noodle - pretty good. Well seasoned, not too greasy tasting. 4/5. Fried chicken nuggets - a classic. solid. 4.5/5. odd to put this here but they have a house made hot sauce with chili and garlic which was bomb. They charged $1 for it. 5/5. If you like spicy stuff, get this and put it on everything. Theyve done really good things since theyve opened. Menu is broader, a lot more options and classics for Taiwanese food. Restaurant still looks and feels new. Its clean and comfortable. Quality is pretty good. Value is not bad, portion size is fair and prices are slightly higher but in today's economy, being right on W. Broadway, and a more upscale (but casual) place, its reasonable. Overall solid 4/5.

Not sure why that's not an option. Definitely a missed opportunity for the business imho. Oh... and the kimchi was a bit weird with the fact that it's overly sweet. Overall, good value and good food.

The price is great for the portion. It's about $18 and you can get 10% off on their daily specials. I love the crispy chicken because it has taiwanese chicken seasoning. It's a bit salty and flavorful. It's a bit oily though. I like the tofu sauce as well because it's spicy. The rice also have some meat on top which is a nice addition to the warm bowl of rice. You also get iced tea or miso soup with the set. If the chicken is too oily for you, the miso soup is perfect to water it down. Otherwise the iced tea is a good option as well since it's black tea with a bit of sweetness. Please note that they will charge 50 cents if you use credit, but they accept debit cards.

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.

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.

When I test out a new chinese restaurant, I usually order the tomato and eggs on rice because it's a staple (I grew up in China) for me. It was extremely disappointing and a little gloopy? The tomatoes were overcooked and mushy and the eggs were blended into the sauce which made the texture thick in a bad way. Couldn't finish it and tomato and eggs on rice is one of my favorite dishes so I was pretty heartbroken.
