This place has been a lifesaver for my nightshift worker partner. When we go out at 5am looking for hot food, this is our spot. Always open, fast service, more than reasonable prices, and consistent good food! Cozy neighbourhood spot for a quick comforting Chinese meal. You'd be surprised at how many people come here even at that early hour. It's not bustlin' but certainly never empty. Our go-to is usually noodles in soup (braised meats are a good choice), extra noodles, no cilantro. And popcorn chicken, a little on the salty side, would make a good beer snack. Never had a bad dish here, and it's exactly what you expect. I also like their deal that is 2 youtiao, 1 tea egg, and 1 soy milk. Light breakfast or filling snack. Good mix of salty and savoury. We'll definitely continue to be repeat customers here. read more

Noodles are good and it's nice that a place with a large menu is open 24hrs but overall I don't think this place is anything notable. I LOVE fresh hand pulled noodles and am a frequent visitor of Yunshang rice noodle, however I wanted to try a new place so I came here with my brother. He ordered popcorn chicken, a tea egg, and a lamb skewer, and I ordered the braised beef noodle soup. Popcorn chicken was soggy and bland despite watching it being made in front of us and served almost immediately, which was disappointing. Tea egg was way overcooked and had a huge grey ring around the yolk, and my noodle soup lacked flavor. However I will note that the texture and freshness of the noodles were delicious and the lamb skewer was actually the best of the items we ordered, which surprised us a lot. The beef that came with my noodles was also very tasty and soft but the actual broth along with what they consider the "toppings" was just whatever. I would've expected a little more cilantro, onion, and vegetables to boost the flavor. Service was quick and polite, food came out extremely fast. I do like how big of a portion the noodles came for the price, and everything on the menu was affordably priced which is why I'm giving 3 stars. While I'm not advising against this place and I'm glad to have finally tried Magic Noodle, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I was honestly surprised to find such a lively spot at 2 a.m. I went to Da Huai Shu on Yonge Street, and despite the late hour, the restaurant was completely packed. We had to wait about two minutes just to get a table. The place was full of young students, and the vibe was energetic and welcoming. We ordered the beef noodle soup, which was quite flavorful--the broth was rich, and the beef was tender. The highlight, though, was definitely the five-grain chicken feet--incredibly tasty, with great texture and seasoning. 川北凉粉不推荐，太甜不好吃 Overall, I was really impressed. It's rare to find a spot that's this busy in the middle of the night. If you're a night owl looking for good food and a fun atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Magic Noodle has been a long time staple in the Yonge North York BIA community for their fresh hand pulled noodles, whether it is in a piping hot broth, stir fried, or served with sauce! There is always a noodle master on shift to ensure your noodle is made however you prefer , whether it is texture wise vs length wise. The noodles are always cooked al dente and it does pair well with whichever toppings you prefer from sliced beef to smoked duck breast to even lamb! I can always count on the Magic Beef or Tomato & Beef Noodle Soup to warm my heart in whichever time I do visit Magic Noodle! read more

Magic Noodle - Triple B Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - North York, Ontario

Magic Noodle is pretty solid! I've ordered here a couple of times and enjoyed my experience overall. During my most recent visit, I took advantage of the BOGO deal on Uber Eats, and it was an incredible value that fed me twice! I had the knife-cut and hand-pulled noodles in beef noodle soup, and both were equally tasty. I also tried the Juli Jelly this time because the app claims 100% satisfaction, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially if you like sesame flavour. read more

Magic Noodle - a woman sitting at a table with a glass of beer - Noodles Near Me - North York, Ontario

Been to Magic Noodles before but at a different location. This location is a lot smaller and service is average. Came here for the 10 year anniversary and they had a couple of items on promo. I ordered the Magic Chicken and it tasted OK. I recommend adding chili oil to noodles as it heightens the overall flavour. I do not recommend the popcorn chicken, it was over cooked and not worth the price. Overall, this place is ok but don't except exceptional service. Service was ok at the beginning and became nonexistent by the end of our meal. Seems consistency in food quality is up and down. There are definitely a lot of other noodle spots that are better for a similar price point as well. read more

Magic Noodle - red splash hand pulled ribbon noodles - Noodles Near Me - North York, Ontario

Recently decided to grab some magic noodles for dinner as I haven't had them for a while. It was quiet exciting as I loved their mid triad noodles and would use to order "the magic" which consists of a bit of everything such as lamb, deep fried salty chicken, sliced beef and fried egg. I got some lamb skewers to go with my noodles and they were pretty tasty. The noodles were nice and al dente, the broth was hearty but my only issue was that I had asked for no cilantro and green onion garnish and they still had it in my noodles. Overall I'm happy there are several locations that are 24hrs for my late cravings read more

I ordered takeaway late at night and I wish I could say better things but I was quite disappointed. We got two dishes: The Magic and Magic Beef. 1) The Magic It comes with more meat than Magic Beef: lamb chop, tripe, and a fried egg. The broth was okay, I found it a bit bland compared to other places so I didn't really enjoy it as much. It also doesn't stick to the noodles so. 2) Magic Beef I'd say the same thing as what I said in my review of The Magic. I'm not sure if I'd be willing to try it again. Maybe it's because I came in late at night but for a 24 hour establishment (is it still 24 hours?), I would expect the same service and quality any time of the day. read more

SERVICE IS AMAZING ! Magic noodle is the best!!! Best ambience and noodles around town i love this place! 100/100 Amazing??

I was here a few days ago ordered the magic beef and the magic chicken I loved them both! The chicken was very tender and juicy not dry at all And the beef just melts in your mouth! I really enjoyed the noodles I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the area. I order takeout obviously it doesn't taste the same as eating in the restaurant but it was still very delicious read more

Opens 24/7 If you have cravings for comfort food, look no further than Magic Noodle! On a rainy night or 3 am when you have this "I need something to eat!" urge, I suggest to give them a visit! Of course, you do have the option of McDonald, Tim Horton's or even making an instant noodle at home... but a fresh bowl of handmade noodle?! This location is self serve. You ordered at the counter and paid upfront and your noodle will be cooked to order for you. This is the only location that has built your own option. Service though is lacking. You have to ask for a glass of water, then they would give it to you. The other locations, you are served with water without requesting! I will be back at those wee hours to satisfy my noodle's urge when I am in the area. I guess it is kind of Magical when you can have something decent to eat in the middle of the night? read more

This place seems to always be busy. I passed by one time at 1 AM and it was still busy. I guess it being a 24-hour restaurant really helps if you're looking for noodle soup at midnight. Compared to some other noodle places near Yonge and Finch, this place is somewhat bigger (I'm talking on the scale of 25 seats vs 10), but it can fill up fast. The layout is pretty tight, with a small path from the entrance leading up to the counter, and another path circling around the right. And then they just fit in as many tables and chairs as reasonably possible. The washrooms do not provide paper towels, but in exchange they offer an over-powered hand-dryer that will blow you away if you're not careful. Rarely see that in a restaurant. They specialize in hand-pulled and sliced noodle bowls, with the option of noodle soup or fried noodles. You can choose to build your own bowl, or pick one of their signatures. A number of snacks and appetizers are also available, and they have cups of (what I assume is) fresh soy milk available for purchase. The cups also come with Magic Noodle logo for the collectors. Ordering is done up at the counter. Pay first, grab a number if you're dining in, and take a seat. They offer take-out and dine-in options so if you're planning to dine-in, you should grab a seat first before ordering otherwise someone else might do it and you lose. Food was served in 3-5 minutes. I ordered the Magic Lamb for $8.49. It comes with goji, dates, and various herbs, so it has a nice herbal soup flavour. Lamb is good, but doesn't come with too many pieces. You get a lot of noodles, and I liked the texture; should let the noodles sit a few minutes to let it soak in the broth. One thing I noticed was that the broth was a little on the salty side. read more

We ordered takeout for the magic noodle original noodle bowl and lamb noodles in soup. both stayed decently hot by the time we got home and i liked the way it was packaged. the soup comes in a separate container to ensure the noodles don't get soggy and the noodles are packaged in a bowl so all you have to do is pour the soup into the noodle bowl for a steaming hot bowl of noodles. the portions for noodles were decent but the meats were not enough. and as many say, get ready with a big glass of water because i do think they use quite a bit of salt and MSG. It's very tasty in the moment but you'll find yourself quite thirsty by the end! read more

Magic Noodle is a solid after hours spot. That being said, it can usually have a long wait. My group of five took maybe over twenty minutes or so before we got seated. On the bright side , the food came out relatively quick. I'll have to say within minutes of ordering I ordered a large tender Riblet and it was around $10 CAN with tip. I feel it was well worth it for the portion and variety they offered. I must say they service was kinda disappointing. One of the guys in my group did not get what he ordered and apparently he just took the meal since he was afraid they would spit in our food. Not sure what the fear was about since it was my first time experiencing the location. It was kinda far off and off aside to where we were staying at, so I don't think I will be venturing here too often but it's a good hidden gem if you need something to eat when it's late since it is 24.7. read more

Came here on Saturday at noon, and it was 90% full with the lunch crowd. Fortunately we found a spot along the bench and overlooking the sidewalk. Service is fairly quick and they will deliver the food once it is ready. The noodles had a nice springy texture and it is an average amount of toppings. If you're looking for a quick and easy place for noodle, check out Magic Noodle. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and it was somewhat quiet, but that may have been due to the cold weather. The restaurant had some seating, but I could see if it ever got busy, it may be difficult to secure something. They have 3 or 4 tables that fit 4 people and one larger communal table that could probably fit 8, with 4 or 5 single seats facing the store front. I ordered a "pot belly" for $11.30 after tax and the portion size was decent. The noodles are thick and flat topped with bok choi and braised pork belly. The flavour was quite good and the soup was great on a cold day. The only downfall was that I had run out of soup very quickly!! I wish they had more broth as the noodles soaked up the soup quite quickly. The restaurant worked in a way where you had to go up to order and pay and they give you a number for your table. Once the food is ready, the servers bring it out and collect your number once all your food has arrived. My biggest tip would be to make sure all your food is present before they take your number, or you risk missing some items! I'd probably come back when I crave this type of noodles, but will definitely need a 2L bottle of water by my desk after! read more

Despite the average reviews I actually loved the food and service that was provided for the past several times I've been here. We stumbled upon the restaurant while we were nearby and we were amazed by the food. The restaurant is pretty cramped as they try to fit as many tables as they could in the small seating area that they have. We've tried the Magic Beef noodle soup, friar, cuttlefish balls, and tea eggs here. The noodles here are fresh as they're hand-pulled. The broth bases are packed with flavour and coupling it with bouncy noodles makes it my favourite menu item here. The tables have black vinegar and chilli oil which can be used to add to your noodle soup as it's frequently done so. The friar looks unpleasant to the eye at first but it's actually pretty decent in terms of taste. You need to try the cuttlefish balls! I don't know what sauce they're putting on them but they're so addicting to eat. The great thing is that they also do takeout and leave their takeout containers near the front. If you ever do decide to take any unfinished food home, you can help yourself to the containers. read more

We were looking to eat dinner but it was already 10:30pm, so we stumbled across this 24/7 noodle spot. I believe this is the same restaurant as the one in scarborough - at Midland and McNicoll. This is a small spot located on Yonge Street, with not too many tables for seating. This place is run a little differently from other restaurants- you pretty much order, grab a number, grab a seat, and they bring you your order. There wasn't much servicing involved by the staff here. I ordered #1 the Magic- it's almost like their house special where the noodle has a bit of everything (beef,chicken, lamb & fried egg). The portion here is HUGE !! I couldn't finish it, but the bowl was certainly very flavourful. The pricing here is fair- around $8 to $9 dollars for signature bowls, there are also build your own bowls option which i didn't try. Overall this is a nice place to stop by especially if you were hungry late night and craving for a big bowl of noodle soup. read more

Great location - right on a busy street and open 24/7. That's a plus considering we just landed at the airport at 11:30pm and needed comfort food. We've tried this place before and can't remember if we loved it or not. So we've decided to try it again, but this time take out. My husband got their specialty, beef noodle soup and I got a side order of Tofoodles (Tofu Noodles). The noodles was great because of the pulled noodle part, soft and chewy is what makes it delicious. Tofoodles was definitely bland. Total of $15.80 after tax. Overall it wasn't bad but wouldn't come here so often. It's a good back up option for 24/7 noodle soup place. But there's nothing special or unique about their food. Note: this place only accepts debit or cash read more

Bless me up with noodles! The Chinese provinces are taking over Ynf and no one can complain! All this culture in the span of a block leads to Sichuan, shanghai type noodles and personally the skimpy ramen joints down the block don't do it anymore. Give me some beef brisket and hot chilli oil. Comes with handfuls of knife shaved noodles. Killer deal for under 10$! read more

2.5 Pros: Build your own noodle available Cons: Broth is way too salty If you live in the Yonge and Finch/Sheppard area, you'll know that noodle places all popping up like crazy here. Magic Noodle is one the latest of such places to appear here. I've been to the one in Scarborough in the past, so I decided to try this place out here. Magic noodle specializes in hand pulled soup noodles. They have some stir fry ones as well, but you will be coming here for soup noodles most of the time. This review will only focus on take out as I've only done that the 2 times I've been here. Magic noodle has a set of noodles to choose from the menu. If you're me, you'll like the fact that you can build your own noodle. When building your own noodle, you choose the type of noodle, broth, protein and vegetables. There's a lot of choice here and the combinations you can make here are almost infinite. As with every Chinese restaurant I go to the first time, I always order in English. For the most part, the server's English was good enough. They are however, much more helpful in Chinese. It's not because they prefer Chinese, it's just the language they're more comfortable speaking in. Still, if you only speak English, you will still do fine here. All the menus have English as well. On to the food. The noodles here are all hand pulled and made to order. I've had the Triple B and the Magic Lamb as well as 2 create your own noodles. The noodles have good bite as expected from hand pulled noodles. The proteins and vegetables are not bad though I wished they would give you more portion wise. The main negative here is the broth. Broth is for me the 2nd most important part of soup noodles (and for some the 1st). It's way too salty here. It's so salty it makes you think it's full of msg. I was so thirsty each time after having a bowl of noodles here. This place would easily be a go to for me if not for the broth. Magic noodle is decent, but in my opinion could be better. Big beef bowl is my go to in the area for hand pulled noodles. Magic noodle is still worth a try though. read more

I went to Magic Noodle tonight and was kind of disappointed. I ordered the Magic Beef and popcorn chicken as a side. The Magic Beef ($8.50) was a great portion size. I wouldn't say that there was "a lot" of meat, but I do think there was an adequate amount for the price you are paying. As for the flavour --- the noodles were absolutely amazing. The were so chewy and you can tell that they were fresh. Unfortunately, the broth was a huge letdown. The broth had a bit of a strange flavour to it. They used a spice/seasoning that I can't put my finger on, but I can go as far as saying that it tasted out of place. Flavourful, yes, but I personally did not find it tasty. The popcorn chicken was also a disappointment. The flavour was great, the chicken was tender, and the dipping sauce was also tasty. Unfortunately, the portion size was really small considering they charged $5 for for it. Overall, I may consider coming back here and trying a different noodle bowl, only because the noodles were so great! read more

Someone say Beef Brisket and Rice Noodle Soup for brekkie? Oh ya! Tasty yum yum. The restaurant is open at 6am and offer all sorts of Noodle soup dishes. It was approximately 10am as I watched people walk into the restaurant. I hadn't had anything to eat all morning and was starving so I decided to check the place out. The restaurant was almost packed full of people eating noodle soup. The space itself was very clean and what I liked most about the kitchen was that it was open concept. I love restaurants where you can see the chefs cooking the food. The Beef Brisket Noodle soup was deliciously good. The broth was tasty and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The beef was soft and tender and had a really nice flavour to it. They didnt skimp out on the beef either. Their pepper oil was a nice addition to my soups flavour. 10 bucks for my dish was money well spent. read more

Magic Noodle - Front counter. - Noodles Near Me - North York, Ontario

Despite all the craze for hand-pulled noodles in Toronto this year, Magic Noodle is still my favourite go-to restaurant. Tl;dr - Would recommend small groups (2-4 people), and order #3 Magic Beef. To add fried egg, bok choy, or making it spicy costs extra $. Ordered for 2 people: Magic Beef (5/5). Wish I didn't pay extra to make it spicy though, was too spicy and I love spicy (there's chili oil at each table). Triple B (5/5) Customer Service: You have to order and pay before sitting. They also don't bring you water, you have to ask for it. Ambiance/Decor: Clean, pretty-looking. read more

3.5 stars rounding down to a 3 Same deal as their midland and McNicole location which I gave a 3.5 rounded up to a 4. The noodles here are legit good. The 3 of us had a Magic Lamb, Magic Beef, and Magic Chicken. $8.99 each. The Lamb is mutton with bone.. needed more time braising.. 2 stars on the lamb, 4.5 stars on the noodles. The Beef is more of a tendon braised and then sliced. 3 stars on the beef. The chicken was Pan-fried dark meat. Not bad.. portion was good. The Kalbi (short-ribs) were not tender at all.. its deep fried. Lacked seasoning and flavour. 2 stars The nom nom chicken was 1.5 stars.. not authentic at all.. pretty bad tasting. Overall, I would recommend the noodles here, the soup base was different for each noodle we ordered, but it was full of MSG.. expected more.. If we're to come back here, it was be a Magic Noodle and then pay extra $1 for extra noodles.. no need to try any of their appetizers.. read more

Great little space; nicely decorated, and you can watch the chef make noodles by hand which is kinda cool. Portions are good and taste is on point. I got the Magic Lamb, which I really enjoyed. My friend got the Magic Beef, which he said was quite good and authentic. Good amount of meat and the broth was delicious. We also ordered lamb skewers which had a nice amount of spice and were very good, albeit slightly chewy. Only downside is the service. Waitresses were unenthusiastic and slightly rude. I'd still come back for the food though! read more

Stumbled in with my boyfriend the other week to try out bites in our new neighbourhood. The cashier helped us make noodle decisions and we ordered the Magic Beef and Triple B along with an order of garlic sauce wings. It was surprisingly busy for a -30C night but we managed to get a table not long after ordering. Service was quick and we were swiftly brought out our meal. Broth was hot, flavourful and the noodles were perfectly al dente. Portions were also very generous for the $8-$10/bowl pricing. It is quickly becoming a neighbourhood favourite for us ! read more

The food is okay, however the takeout package is awful! I ordered the takeout today at this location, my place is only about 7 minutes driving distance from this, and because they packed the soup in a stupid container without proper sealing, most of the soup spilled all over the rest of my food, and you definitely don't want inadequate soup in the noodles, let alone all over your lamb kebab! read more
