Toronto Review 4/Many: I went to this excellent Lanzhou spot with another person as one of my…read moreearlier meals. Our server, Sophia, was bubbly and friendly, giving suggestions and helping with the ordering process for the other person who wasn't as sure what they wanted. We eventually went with two appetizers and two entrees, which was more than enough food, and honestly, we could have only ordered one appetizer. The better of the two appetizers was the CAD 8.95 Hand Shredded Pepper Chicken/手撕椒麻雞/Shou Si Ji. The dish consists of cold chicken in a flavorful sauce, topped with some greens. The chicken was tender, with a mild, pleasant spice and a bit of numbingness from the Sichuan peppercorns, along with some fragrance, presumably from sesame oil. It reminded me a bit of salivating chicken you find in some Szechuan spots, but it was more aromatic and a bit less spicy. The other appetizer was the Steamed Edamame/岩鹽毛豆 with Himalayan pink salt for CAD 5.95. The other person chose between this and the vegetable dumplings, as he avoids pork, and it was, of course, lighter than the other appetizer. The decent portion of edamame was topped with some pickled carrots as a garnish. My main dish was the Braised Beef Noodles/紅燒牛肉面/Hong Shao Niu Rou Mian. The dish included several options, including size, noodle style, and spice level. I chose the large for CAD $20.95, medium spice, and for the noodle style, I chose flat/宽面, as it was closest to the prism style I like at Lanzhou spots in the States. Along with these, I also added a tea egg for an extra CAD 2.95. Outside the add-on, the dish also had a couple of large slices of radish. Compared to some spots in NYC, I slightly preferred the QQ/bouncy texture of the noodles at a spot near me. However, the broth was better here with a balanced amount of mala, though I would likely order spicy next time, as I tend to add chili oil to the relatively lighter Lanzhou broths. The beef was also much better, being tender with a mild chew regardless of whether it was tendon or other cuts. The tea egg was flavorful and worth the add-on, especially when the inside was dipped further into the broth. I can see why others order this. The other person went with the Signature Stir-fried Noodles/招牌炒面/Chao Tatiaozi. There was an option of protein, and he went with Chicken for $17.95 and added the same egg. I tried a bit, and there was a pleasant pepperiness with a bit of numbing flavor, but less than my dish. The noodles had a good bounciness and overall had a slightly better chewiness than mine. This was lighter overall, but also tasty. This spot has apparently come to the US already at the Mall of America, and I would love it if there were a location closer to me. Good place.

You get to pick and choose your noodle type but choosing rice noodles will increase the price by a dollar or two Portion sizes were phenomenal for how much you're paying I preferred my fiancé's egg noodle over my rice noodle and personally the fish balls were a bit too scaley and are more fried spoon scoops from a fish paste vs the bouncy traditional HK fish ball, but nevertheless. Delicious quick eats! Closer to a 3.5 over a 4 for me but still a great place to eat imo

We ordered the pork liver egg noodle soup and the beef fishball egg noodle soup. The pork liver was fresh and cooked just right. Very tender with a rich broth that really warms you up. The beef fishball soup also very good. Very tender. Both bowls were $11.00 which is really good value for the amount. Noodles were springy and satisfying in both bowls. Simple, no-frills spot, but the food hits the spot. I'd definitely come back here hopefully for warm comfort food when it's cold outside

The lamb noodle soup broth is incredibly healing and delicious! The noodles in both dishes were perfection. Would definitely recommend. Prices are great too!

Our favourite was the Lychee Shrimp Balls--they were crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and something both adults and kids would enjoy. The handmade noodles were chewy and satisfying. We also ordered the Oil Splash Noodles, which had great flavour but were a little too spicy and oily for my preference. As parents, we appreciated that the restaurant provides high chairs, kid bowls, and food scissors. While there's no dedicated kids' menu, there are several non-spicy noodle dishes that work well for children. The restaurant itself is cozy, so it may feel a bit tight if you're bringing a large stroller, and the washroom is small without a changing table. Parking is free in the plaza, although it can take a few minutes to find a spot during busy times. Overall, the food was tasty, the prices were very reasonable (most dishes under $13), and we'd happily visit again for a casual family meal.

The noodles tasted fresh and spice-level was good. The table next door recommended the Cumin Beef Noodles which I'll try next time. I got to try the milk skin yogurt. It is super creamy and simple, tastes like thick milk. Service/atmosphere: When you arrive, there is a tablet to enter yourself into the waitlist. This restaurant is great for groups of 2 and 4.

Yet, I was a bit suspicious at first to be honest, because there are random restaurants out there that serve machine made/overpriced mediocre Momo for profit. But when I learned that this place is run by Nepali owner, and positive reviews (affordable and good), I thought I should give try. Glad I did. I ordered (take-out): # Beef Steam Momo # Kothay Chicken Momo (Pan Fried) I loved Kothey Momo's perfectly golden brown fried wrappers. No tear. The texture was crispy and soft, with juicy stuffing with nice spice heat. What I liked was its visually appealing and enticing presentation even when it is take-out. As you see in the picture, fresh vegetable was nicely arranged - felt respect/hospitality for those who eat their food. Beef Steamed Momo was good but probably I would prefer Kothey version - next time. Just my preference. Their menu is extensive, which makes me to want to try more items from here, now that I know how genuinely they cook/serve food at affordable pricing. The customer service was very polite.

The noodles are chewy and just right. Only had 1 out of 3 spicy levels and the Sichuan peppers have a kick that lasts. The Dan Dan noodles are quite yummy but if can't handle spice ask for mild.

Looks like a table by the front entrance is reserved for owner admin purposes. Front area filled with good luck paraphilia to ward off evil spirits. My friend knew all the staff and proceeded right away to speak Malay. Let my friend do the ordering, I recognized a few of the dishes such as beef curry, chicken curry (both with roti), boneless chicken rice plate, chicken skewers, grilled sambal stingray, penang hokkien mee and a few other dishes (look at photos) I didn't recognise. There was one interesting dish Rojak, a mixed salad of chopped fruit & vegetables smothered in a pungent fermented shrimp sauce, sweet, tangy, spicy, a whole smorgasbord of flavors dancing on my tongue. Three words I've never used to describe Roti, theirs was crunchy, fluffy and moist, wonderfully dipped either in the beef or chicken curry. Chicken skewers were grilled well, meat remained moist with a nice grilled aftertaste, not necessary to dip into the accompanied curry sauce as the overall flavor stood on its own. The Sambal sting ray was a little disappointing, didn't match the memory of the one I had at the Singaporean hawker food court I had a few years ago. Overall flavor was lacking. Penang Hokkien Mee is the real deal, large plump shrimp w/ firm egg noodles in a somewhat spicy flavorful broth. We came on a Friday night, the restaurant was about 50% full, what a great cultural food experience which needs further support.
