Stopped by for lunch. Still a good deal huh. Lamb and thin noodles. Always good anytime of the day. I can always hear myself in this shop, even when it's busy. read more

Legendary Noodle House - Lamb is mia - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This hidden gem has a charming old-school interior, and the highlight is definitely the fresh, house-made noodles. The service is friendly, and the portions are generous for the price, making it great value overall. I tried the duck cumin noodles and would definitely recommend them--flavorful, satisfying, and well worth a visit. read more

Legendary Noodle House - Duck and cumin noodle - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

If you stick with the noodles you can get a decent meal here. We tried the salt and pepper chicken which was bland and oily, not crunchy at all. The ginger beef was rubbery. The pea shoots were bright green and shiny, but the flavour was drowned out by the corn starch (I assume) used to make them look good. The hand cut noodles are quite satisfying, however. The server was friendly but pushed us to order Ting Tao beers so hard it was comical. Back off. Leave the sides. Take the noodles. I am rooting for them but won't go back, based on 3 out of 4 of the dishes we ordered being disappointing. read more

I came here twice in the last 4 months with out of town visitors after exploring Stanley Park and English Bay. While one might be skeptical with the authenticity of a Central Chinese restaurant in the heart of the west end, all of the dishes that my friends and I had were fantastic. We tried the beef brisket soup with cut noodles, Lanzhou beef noodle with cut noodles, tan tan noodle, fried scallion pancake, and spinach & vermicelli salad. Every dish was great. Meat was tender, soup was extremely deep with flavours and all senses of umami. The noodles were freshly made in house and we saw the chef cutting the noodles. It's a small cozy place so you will want to time your visit accordingly. read more

I do recommend this place but I have some pretty inconsistent experiences here. I've had their peanut noodles (not the best), the scallion pancake (ok but the peanut sauce did not pair well for me). I've tried to order their veg dumplings but they are usually sold on (and their website states that). This recent experience was better. I ordered their Lemon Garlic Noodles (green beans, broccoli, and spinach). I choose their cut noodles which were incredible. Easy to sink your teeth in. No spinach but did come with a few pieces of bok choy. Beans were not fresh but the sauce was pretty good. The lemon was a wedge which did add a burst of favor. I finally got their veg dumplings which take approximately 15 minutes to prepare. They have chilli oil, soya, and a vinegar (not black) to make a sauce. The dumplings were less than mid. They were missing the filling and were flat (see pics). Price is decent and place is comfortable. Its a good spot for noodles on their good day read more

Came here after reading several recommendations and we can't say enough good things about it. The waitstaff was welcoming and homey and we could see there were several regular customers in the restaurant that were tended to efficiently and quickly. We got the scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, spicy pork noodles, and pea shoots...oh the pea shoots! They were so good we got a second bowl! We can really understand why this place has been around for almost 30 years now. Go, it will revive a small bit of hope for humanity. read more

Although, they made a mistake on my order, i will still give them 3 stars. The staff was helpful and polite. It is a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant but it was clean. Washroom was clean. read more

What a treat to get fresh flavorful noodles that have fabulous sauces that are unbelievable! Can't wait to return!

We have been coming to Legendary for years, and it used to be incredible. The last few times were very mid.... When the older guy is there making noodles, the quality improves dramatically! Hoping they can make things more consistent. read more

Quick service, generous portions. Cumin lamb noodle has lots of lamb , is super greasy in a good way-- can use more cumin for sure, but I'm happy with it. Limited vegan options for my partner as the vegetarian dishes aren't too flavorful. read more

Legendary Noodle House - a container of noodles and a bowl of soup - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I have been a neighbor of this restaurant since the moved in. Four years ago their kitchen fan was broken and making a loud noise at 80 decibels. After 1.5 years and many complaints to the city it was finally repaired. Yesterday I got home a loud electric buzz was coming from the roof of the restaurant just off my balcony. Yesterday I called and requested they have the unit maintained as there is something wrong with it. Today I spoke with the manager "Brook" and asked if he received my message and arranged service. Brook informed me that the unit is new and there is nothing wrong with it. I told him that he needed to have the vendor out as the unit is defective and I can hear it through double pained glass. He cut me off telling me if I had a problem I need to complain to the city. Well I have and I ask you all to boycott this bad neighbor and business operator. This rich person needs to be shown that being a bad neighbor is bad for business. read more

Legendary Noodle House - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place is Legen (wait for it) DARY! It's been 5 stars all the way every visit. The decor is like stepping into a small dimly-lit, magical hideaway decorated with authentic Asian touches. Each time I ask what one of the really cool wooden implements are. But, it's the food. Oh the food! Here's what we order: brisket noodles (watch as they are made in the glass-fronted kitchen), peanut noodles with chicken, lamb cumin noodles, pea shoots and "soup dumplings" or Xiaolongbao. I like to vary the noodles but it's interesting - how some shapes and widths really suit the sauce better than others - in each dish. If anyone says the house tea is not worth the money (gasp) simply refer to the pic with this review. It tastes as good as it looks. Whenever we go, no one can agree on what is the best dish. The only consensus is we all decide to lick our plates. read more

Delicious hand tossed Asian noodles in a small, quaint, vibrant environment. Delicious.

The food was super good and the atmosphere was really calming. The service was really quick and the servers were really quite nice. I 100% recommend this to anyone who just feels like some noodle soup! read more

Cut noodles with curry lamb. Delicious! This is a small restaurant, you can see your food being freshly prepared. The staff is very nice and accommodating. I'd definitely go back and try their soup dishes. The cut noodles is enough for two people. read more

Legendary Noodle House - Cut noodles with curry lamb - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

More of a 3.5 for the food, but the service want that great so I'm rounding down. The server was nice, but was always on her phone or chatting with colleagues so I literally had to get up and walk over to her and ask her to take our order. Portions are decent for the price. It came to $55 for four people and we ordered two mains and for appetisers. I have an issue with their menu labelling, since they somehow think that shrimp is vegetarian?? I also wish that they would distinguish between vegan and vegetarian options. Ambience and prices are good though. Our food was all served in less than ten minutes, but we came here at 4pm so there were only two other people there. Peanut Noodles (3/5) The sauce was okay, though vegetables were severely lacking. The noodles weren't that great unfortunately, as they clumped together and were rather chewy and doughy. We still finished it, but it wasn't that enjoyable. Just be glad that I like peanut sauce. Pea Shoots (5/5) These were surprisingly the highlight of the whole meal. The vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly, which is super difficult to do with pea shoots. Flavours were great, and we had no complaints whatsoever. Vegetable Dumplings (2.5/5) I didn't like them that much as the flavours were a little strange for some reason. However they were served hot so that is a plus. Fried Rice (2.5/5) Got this for my brother to go and it was very oily when he ate it. We also specifically asked for no peas but they forgot. Salt and Pepper Chicken (3.5/5) These were alright, according to family. The flavour and texture was decent, but again, nothing spectacular. Spring Rolls (4/5) These were pretty decent. There was a lack of filling and it was too much deep fried dough, but the sauce was good and they were served hot. Not bad, but not great either. Overall this place is alright. If you're just looking for average quality comfort food that will full you up for a cheap price, then this is the place to go. read more

I heard good things about this place so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Brisket Noodle ($12.25) which came with tender fatty beef with spinach and green onions and paid $1.50 more for a side of fried chicken. I found the beef and noodles to be very well made. Thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back next time I feel like beef noodle! The side order of fried chicken ended up being too much food for me (a relatively big eater) since the size of the noodle is actually quite big for the price. Parking in this region of Denman can be difficult (and expensive) so I recommend taking the transit or walking if possible. However, if you are lucky - you may be able to scout out the 2 hr free residential parking spots in the neighbourhood. read more

The food was really good. We got the peanut noodles and the wok stir fried noodles and they were delicious. The waitress was very attentive, and even gave us a whole pitcher of water after noticing my group drank our water very quickly. They also allowed us to split the bill five ways, even though we were being confusing. Very good service and food read more

This once was one of our favourites. Something has changed. Food is ok, but once was amazing! Ordered our standbys, dumplings, noodles in spicy peanut sauce. It was blah, bland and boring. Such a shame, this place was once always exciting yummy flavours....not today. A twenty something server who was way, I mean WAY!! more interested in her phone than her tables (or tip for that matter). Sat for 20+ mins waiting for the bill :(( Couldn't want any longer, got up interrupted the servers text messages and asked for it. Take a miss on this place. read more

Legendary Noodle House - Speaks for itself :( - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The noodles were fantastic! I went to this restaurant after reading the reviews from yelp. It was our first meal in Vancouver. I LOVE Handpulled noodles and most restaurants just does the soup base version. I wanted to try something different so I ordered the stir fry and it was sooo delicious! I know the noodles had alot of salt and oil but man it was tasty. I am still craving their noodles and cannot wait to go back the next time I'm in the city. read more

Legendary Noodle House - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is my second review of Legendary Noodle. My spouse and I promised we'd return when next in Vancouver, and return after several years we did. Legendary Noodle was worth the return visit! While we didn't record our precise order for this review, we can share we began with tasty spring rolls and then had a big bowl of soup and a big plate of noodles. Everything was delicious! Only a couple of blocks from the beach, Legendary Noodle is a perfect stop before or after a visit to English Bay Beach. The booths are compact, and the restaurant is small and narrow, but with the doors wide open, it is almost like eating al fresco. Service was again friendly and quick. The portions were delicious and generous and our meal was very affordable. We definitely recommend the Legendary Noodle on Denman Street near English Bay and will gladly return if we're in Vancouver again. In fact, we've upgraded our review to 5 stars! read more

Been a repeat-customer for the last 10 years! Nice place to grab a cold glass of beer or their good iced tea after a day at the beach. It's real nice to have a go-to place in the West End for hand-pulled noodles. Whether you're craving saucy or soupy noodles, this place is pretty solid. Last time I was there I had beef with flat noodle in the garlic chilli sauce. Beef was nice and tender. read more

I only had a quick take out order, but it was all good and plentiful. The lemon dumplings with peanut sauce were awesome with lots of sauce worthy of keeping. They make the noodles right there in front of you. The atmosphere at night is kind of dark and intimate and cozy, with small tables in a smallish room. I think it might be fun place for a dinner date. Want to come back with someone and spend some time enjoying the ambiance, and try a few more dishes. read more

Dropped in here unexpectedly on a Saturday to give it a shot, and it wasn't very busy even though it's a small locale, which is nice. The decor was interesting, but the place was surprisingly dark and poorly lit on the inside. The staff was friendly though, and the prices aren't too high. The noodles were fine, but that's about it. I had wide-cut gan ban mian noodles in a spicy peanut sauce, and while it tasted decent the noodles weren't quite as chewy as I like, and I was expecting a reason for the "spicy" warning next to the menu item - I didn't taste any spice at all, sadly. My friend joked that maybe they saw I was white and toned it down, but I like spice! My friend had the hot and sour soup and also found it to be just okay. They also served green onion pancakes that looked more like flatbread than the Taiwanese sort I'm used to, which was a bit surprising. Nothing was bad by any means, but I wasn't left feeling very impressed or interested in coming back. It might be that it's a particular regional cooking I'm not as used to, but it didn't delight me the way other Chinese restaurants or noodle houses have. I'd be open to trying it one more time to see how a meat dish is, though! read more

Legendary Noodle House - Gan ban mian with mildly spicy peanut sauce (I actually tasted zero heat) - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place is great. Usually cheap, good, and with ambiance do not fall into one place. Hand spun noodles in a tiny place with moody lighting and decor,.. and good flavours for like $7-8 lunch special prices. Just go, I'm telling you it is worth it and some of these lower scores, those people can stuff it! read more

Whoa! Can't believe this was my first time here. Your option of handmade noodles (thick, thin, flat, or round) stretched right in front of your eyes. I had the spicy mustard and pork soup noodle ($10) and shared a side of pea shoots ($5.50) and juicy pork dumplings ($7.50). Everything is tasty, great value and fair portions. My only complaint is that the juicy pork dumplings came with white vinegar and not red! (Now I'm just being picky.) Limited space. They accept debit and credit. HELL YES TO NOODLES. read more

Pan fried noodles were sooo good I could eat every Day.. Soft and chewy hand made hand cut.. These guys have noodles dialed

Went there with my family visiting beautiful Vancouver. The noodles were spongy, dishes were oily. The snow pea leaves appetizer and the shrimp dumplings were about the only thing memorable there. The scallion pancakes were flat and did not pair well with their peanut sauce. The pan fried pork dumplings were bland and absolutely tasteless. The soup dumplings went from a serving of 6 to 4...our waiter said they "are bigger now"... if they were then they would have tiny as h*ll. The ones that they brought to us were about 4 to 5 cm in size!! They also tasted like they were frozen and not covered properly or old. I have had my fair share of growing up eating dim sum and dumplings....and this was BAD. I kindly and discreetly advised the waiter and he advised the cook, who seemed to have been offended by the respectfully given critique. In a normal restaurant or eatery, if food is obviously ridiculously bad it is normally offered to be removed from the bill...but in typically (unfortunately) Chinese fashion...the cook was bitching in the native Mandarin tongue (which i can somewhat comprehend) and no amends were made to that end. Bad food, so so embracing of the quality of their dishes and blatant disregard for honest respectful commentary about their dish. Well...what else is there to say, but have other options at hand? As for my family and I we wound up going somewhere else for our dinner...a marked improvement by far. read more

The best noodles I've ever had! Definitely memorable. The vegetable dishes are also great. I wish I could find a restaurant this good in Texas.. read more

Just watched the cook drag a large amount of dangly snot out of his nose and then continue to blow it right in the kitchen. Didn't wash his hands right after and then carried on with cooking. Our food had just arrived and my girlfriend told the waitress what she had seen and said she wasn't going to eat anything. The waitress apologized and told the cook but didn't comp us anything and left us with the full bill. Unacceptable kitchen/wait staff. read more

Take out order review: Cumin Lamb Noodles are my absolute favourite noodle dish. The noodles were absolutely delicious - thick, hand pulled, chewy, saucy goodness! Generous portions. The lamb shank in the noodles was a little fatty for my tastes but it made the flavour all the better and it was very tender. I also got an order of their dumplings in peanut sauce - delicious! I can't believe I haven't tried this restaurant since it is so close to my place until now! I placed an order through my ritual app and the food was ready on time and the pick up was smooth. When I was in the restaurant there were a few socially distanced tables occupied by satisfied looking diners at 7:30pm on a weekday - so it looks like it is a popular destination. The beef noodle soup will be my next take out mission from Legendary Noodle! read more

The owner installed a very noisy fan that is disturbing all the surrounding neighbours who live around the restaurant. This is NOT acceptable and extremely disrespectful to your fellow neighbours. I will NOT be eating here or recommending this place to anyone! Get that horrible fan fixed ASAP because you are literally ruining people's lives as the cannot live with this noise pollution. There are too many other places with better noodles around for you to think that you can just do anything you want without consequences!! read more

Over the past year, I've given Legendary Noodle a few chances to wow me. Their pea shoots, still delicious. Their xiao bao long, respectable. But even the sauciest sauce lover out there (ah hem, that's me I'm referring to) can't help but say WTF when a noodle dish arrives SWIMMING in salty sauce. I expect more out of a black bean sauce than what I can buy at a store. No scratch that, I expected less, less sauce. Thicker sauce. Tastier sauce. Less salt, more flavour. Could it hurt to add a black bean or two? Even just one on top for show? Yes, their hand pulled noodles are chewy and delicious, but when the sauce, topped with a bit of ground pork and some diced mushroom is all that is floating in the "broth" I can't help but shake my head at myself. What am I doing here in the first place? Right, pea shoots to go please! read more

My wife and I were on a vacation trip and luckily stayed at a very nice hotel next to this little restaurant. We live on the peninsula in the San Francisco bay area and eat at Chinese restaurants at least once a week, so we are always looking for this kind of restaurant. First off, you have to practically climb up the entrance step to get in. The decor is authentic Chinese furnishings, brought from China. The service was excellent and we had a very pretty young Chinese woman taking good care of us. I speak a little Mandarin and maybe that helped. In my quest for old style Chinese food I am always on the lookout for homemade noodles, and this restaurant has it in spades! I was amazed at how the cooks can flip around the dough and stretch it into thin, thick or flat noodles (depends on how many times they stretch it). My wife ordered the "Beef Broth w/5 pieces Pork Dumplings" and I ordered the "Beef Broth with Sliced Marinated Beef, Spinach, Green Beans". Both came with the slim homemade noodles. The broth was very tasty and the veggies were cooked just right. We came back the following day around 11am, their opening time, and we were the first eager customers to be seated. I only wish this restaurant would open one exactly like this in our area ;o( read more
