Wham! Bam! Pow! This is the sound emitted from the constant slamming of the dough used to make your noodles. You definitely know that your noodles did not come out from the fridge, but made fresh on the spot. There is always a line-up in front of Sun's Kitchen during the lunch and dinner peak hours, while most of the other stores are just swatting flies empty. The menu board is a great visual aid to know exactly what you're ordering. Sun's Kitchen offer hand pulled or hand shaved noodles. Ordered the Won Ton hand-pulled noodles. The noodles are chewy and has a unique texture and smoothness. Though the broth is lacking in depth and flavour. The wrap on the wonton are too thick to really enjoy and the filling is lacking that savoury flavour. I also tried the beef brisket noodle soup, but I found the beef brisket very tough to chew through, some too hard. Flavour is really not there. The Dan Dan Noodle soup was quite delicious, coming in a spicy broth accompanied with crunchy peanuts. This broth was delectable. The only thing I disliked was the amount of oil on the surface of the broth. Definitely give it a try if you love noodles as much as I do. Note: They charge an extra $0.25 if you want an extra bowl or plate. It seems like every other store is doing the same. read more

This is one of my favourite places to go to for lunch. It's quick, fresh, delicious, and most important of all - cheap! For $6, you can order from a variety of different noodle in soup or stir fry. My girlfriend likes to get #17, spicy noodle with ground pork. It usually comes spicy but she always request it medium, but still finds it too spicy. Ordering it with no spice and just add some of their home made chili oil would be a better idea if you don't like it too spicy. I usually like to get one of several options: wonton, dumpling, beef, or shredded pork with preserved vegetables in noodle soup; wonton and beef noodle soup are my favourites. The beef is super tender and the best part is they actually trim off the tissue around it, that other Chinese places that serve brisket would lazily leave on. The wonton is really flavourful and comes with those small salted shrimps that adds flavour and texture. Next time you visit Pacific Mall, this is a must try for lunch. Don't let the loud bangs of the dough smacking the counter intimidate you. read more

Not so sure what the hype and rave reviews were all about. Let the man bang bang on the table for the hand pulled noodle. It's all for putting up a good show for the 'tourists' #bangbangnoodle The Dan Dan noodle was oily .. Can't taste the peanut! Don't forget to add $2.50 for the chicken / beef / ribs coz the Dan Dan noodle has no mean... Just noodle, peanut sauce and chilly oil for $6.50 +tax :( The beef pancake was.. meh.. unassuming to say the least. I've had better for the price. The ingredients were low grade but you get what you pay for. And don't forget to walk over the 'lucky' bridge while you are there. read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. This is a great place to watch how hand-pulled or hand-cut noodles are made. Master Sun puts on quite a show when there are people gathered around the small store front to watch. You can really taste the difference in texture of hand-made noodles; I only wish that they have tastier / more flavourful broth like in a good Japanese ramen shop. Regardless, the noodles along are worth a try. Also liked their pan-fried dumplings, thin skin crispy on the outside and just enough chew on the inside. Chive Patties...these patties (or more like "boxes") hold so much chives, you really need to like chive smell and taste to like them. read more

Grabbed a bowl of freshly made hand pulled noodle with spareribs for $6.75. Comes with a cup of soya bean drink. The noodles were spot on with a nice chew to it. The ribs were okay and tasted decent. Portions were filling and fair for the price. read more

I ate here a couple of times throughout my teen years. Just wanted to walk down memory lane again. They still make their own noodles from scratch right in front of you. I remember the fried rice i had was excellent, full of flavour and "wok hei". I know the sign of times, their portions are smaller and the "wok hei" is not as strong as I remembered. But it was still very tasty, but it was a bit salty at some parts. The ja jiang mein was actually cold so we poured in the hot soup to mix it in. The texture of the noodles were very chewy n tasty! But again a bit salty for me. Overall it was not bad :) read more

Heard about this place through a coworker - that they make the best hand pulled noodles in town. Decided to try this place while waiting for one of the stores in the mall to fix my iPad. My fiance got the spicy noodles and the lady working the counter suggested I get hot and sour soup with noodles. My fiance really enjoyed his noodles and the broth. He said it was like ramen, but the noodles tasted much fresher than those you get at your usual ramen restaurants. It came with a tea egg and BBQ pork. He was really full before he finished his meal. I wasn't a huge fan of the hot and sour soup noodles. The texture of the soup didn't go well with the texture of the noodles. It was almost too slimy for my liking. The flavours were there. It tasted like a typical hot and sour soup. It probably would have been better without the noodles. Our meals came with soy milk. There was chunks in the bottom, which was a huge turn off. read more

This place is a unique experience, but one you don't find that often. This place is located on the second floor in Pacific Mall. Located in the food court. What makes this place different is the noodles you get here are made fresh right before your eyes. There is a man that stands at the front of this booth and creates these amazing string noodles you enjoy after. After you watch this you think how in the world is it possible, but right before you eyes you see it is possible. I have been here twice and both times I have ordered the chicken noodles and both times I have enjoyed it. This is now my go to place if I'm in the mall and feel like something to eat.. read more

Sun's Kitchen used to be the only place I knew that served hand-cut noodles (which I love), but recently they're lacking consistency, so thank goodness I've discovered more noodle places to go to. Located on the 2nd floor of Pacific Mall, it's quite a pain in the butt to find a seat. Secondly, people are lining up at Sun's Kitchen from all directions or pretending to just so they can successfully budge in line. It's easy to look past crappy food court service when the chef is putting on a noodle slapping show while you wait for your order. Granted, he looks super grumpy when working that dough, but it keeps customers a little more patient. The hand cut noodles used to be my favourite, but unfortunately, the portion size has gone down and the nice chewy texture has gone with it. The soup base is also very bland - as if they just poured Lipton chicken stock into water. On the bright side, Sun's Kitchen will no longer be a reason for me to venture into Pacific Mall. Woot Woot! read more

Just came here twice in most recent memory. It still yummy and tasty! read more

Wham! Wham! Wham! Beat the living you-know-what out of that piece of dough! This place is as much fun to watch as it is to eat at. The dough is laid out on a slab, stretched, whacked and whacked and whacked some more and finally looped multiple times till it becomes thinner and thinner and turns into one long noodle, at which point it is cut. Noodle are tender and deliciouis and tast truly fresh. Wide variety of preparations - I had the dan dan noodles, which swam in a kind of Thai-flavoured broth topped with peanuts. Almost everything is less than $6. A truly fun place for lunch. read more

I would have given this lovely noodle restaurant a four star, except... just as I was about to pick up my order from the counter, I see a white, fly/mini-roach hybrid thing land on the counter next to my food tray - the cashier simply swatted it with her bare hands and pretended nothing happened. To be fair, she doesn't really prepare food, but simply arranges the tray, but this still caused my friend and I to do a double take and question whether something would fly out of our food at any moment. Not fun. That said, this is located on the second floor of p-mall, in the heritage village section. You can always tell where it is by the sound of the noodle chef banging flour dough on the counter - interesting process to watch if you've never experienced before. Noodles are handmade and you can definitely taste the difference (perfect chewiness)! I highly recommend the Dan Dan noodle, with just the right amount of spicy kick, but pay the extra $1.5 to add meat (as the regular version has very little ground pork). read more

I was out with my friend and we literally spent 2 hours inside Pacific Mall just looking around and walking. It was only a matter of time before hunger struck. It's hard not to get hungry especially when you take the escalator to the second floor and smell all the aromas hit you at once. I immediately craved Pho. I walked around the "food court" about 3 times before I heard the hard slapping noises coming from Sun's Kitchen. I forgot I was in Canada. I travelled to a distant land and the smells took me there. I fell in love with the technique- up until now I had only seen it on tv, but there it was before my very eyes. He was making ramen noodles! I had to try it (It was this feeling inside me that I couldn't ignore even if I had already eaten and was full) So i ordered a small chicken noodle and it was amazing. So fresh! Great size for being the small. I ate that soup with such delight. I will definitely come back for more. You guys have to try it! So good =) p.s. you get this white (milk-like) drink with your order. Not sure what it was but it tasted good. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for YEARS...and I mean YEARS since I was a child. Not sure if this is the same place I remember when I was younger, but I simply remember there was always a man making noodles or dumplings. We ordered their noodles, pork katsu with rice, fried onion pancake and pan fried dumplings. They include a cup of soy milk for each of the dishes so we ended up with 3 cups. Which is way better then drinking water, duh. Food can be pretty heavy depending on what you order, but definitely worth the money and the amount of food you get. We were stuffed after. Also, took leftovers home too! Price is really fair and food is really good. Definitely my new place to go when I come to this mall now. The workers are all very nice and were accommodating when I asked for something. read more

This place is pretty good!!! We got the STIR FRY HAND CUT NOODLES and the texture was amazing!!! Nice and chewy!! Also tried the DUMPLINGS IN HOUSE SAUCE, the dumplings were ok, the flavour was ok but wasn't the best dumplings + sauce I've had All meals come with soup and soy milk! It's good value!!! read more

For th life of me, I don't know why I have never ordered at Sun's kitchen as I have been visiting Pacmall since it first opened. I have been in search for a good Beef Brisket noodle soup (under $7 including tax) and Sun's did not dissappoint... Had an eye opening "Wow" on my first taste. Can't go wrong with fresh noodles... Especially when it's pulled right in front of you. A good show and great texture. There was a line up, but service was friendly and fast. The stall is located on the 2nd floor of Pacific mall, just follow the loud banging sound when the guy whacks the dough to form the noodles. read more

You have not experienced noodles until you have tried a bowl of Sun's bountiful, chewy hand-pulled noodles. The soup is spot on and the servings are generous. Tremendous value for what you get, and not to forget, the cup of soya milk you receive on side! read more

had the zhajiangmian noodles were okay; not QQ enough +1 for being hand-pulled meat & sauce were subpar read more

Their "pulled noodles" is what set this place apart. If you are into soup, sorry, my review won't help you a bit as that's something I don't eat. They will pull the noodles ONLY when there is an order, so you can always expect they are fresh. Of course, that also mean you might have to wait a bit during meal hours, but it's worth the wait. I like the cold chicken noodle, always my favourite; and, if I feel for something hot (preparation, not spiciness) to eat I'll opt for the fried noodle version with either beef or chicken. From what my friends have told me, the Dan Dan noodle is good because the sauce is at the perfect taste and heat. read more

I've had their noodles years ago, but this review is based on their beef roll/service. Beef Roll was greasy, but good for a $5 snack! Not that much meat, but then again, it's $5 + it came with a yummy soy milk. What prompted me to write this review was the amount of time I waited. Must have been 10-15mins while other noodle orders were being whipped out, one by one. Girl behind the counter did get behind at one point and a coupla items sat on the counter without her calling out the #. This would probably happen to anyone. Tip #1: Try to go when they're not busy, i.e. when there's not a crowd gathered around their stall. Tip #2: Noodles seem to come out quicker than other items. So if you're really hungry, order that instead! read more

Amazing noodles, perfect texture!! The dan dan noodle is by far the best flavor I have had, none of the other ones I tried can match. The beef brisket is also very tender and the portions are huge. The sides are also very authentic, like the onion pancake, yummy!! read more

tried the dan dan soup today, with some added beef ($2 extra) to get some protein in. nice prominent sesame-garlic flavours but i wasn't a fan of the extremely viscous broth. also, it's like the noodles absorbed the broth and became mushy. is this their intention? maybe my bias towards ramen is showing. the beef chunks were great though, very tender and flavourful. we also enjoyed the beef pancake. despite my disappointments, i have a shred of faith in this place and that what i ordered just wasn't a good display of their noodles read more

Sun's Kitchen is a food court stall in Pacific Mall. Having read some mixed reviews, we decided to give it a shot. I ordered the dan dan noodles - they were being hand-pulled at the counter and I'm a sucker for a man in an apron making noodles. My dining partner ordered pan-fried dumplings. The dumpling filling was a bit bland, but the exterior was infinitely crispy and tasty. We topped them up with chilli sauce and vinegar from the counter. The dan dan noodles were considerably lacklustre. This dish often contains minced pork and pickled veggies, which were notably absent in this instance. Also it's usually served spicy. I have a fairly low tolerance for spice, and I sailed through the bowl with nary a sip of soy milk (which comes free with each dish). Go for the dumplings, skip the dan dan. Oh, and don't expect the soy milk to taste like the Silk from the grocery store. It's pretty legit. read more

The Pacific Mall food court is unlike almost any other that I've been to - you can find everything from shark fin soup to BBQ pork and duck to curry fish balls to lamb skewers at food court prices. Among the stalls is "Sun's Kitchen," although perhaps more fitting is its Chinese name, which translates roughly to "Noodle-pulling King". Like its neighbours, instead of a menu, Sun's Kitchen has prices and more importantly pictures its dishes tiled across the back wall, allowing you to make a more informed meal selection. They serve everything from fried rice to green scallion pancakes, but their specialties are the noodles that are made - or rather, pulled - fresh. I ordered the cold noodles with spicy pork (#17). Within seconds, a man emerged from the back kitchen and began kneading a hunk of dough - broken off from an even larger ball that had been sitting to the side - on the flour-dusted counter to the left of the cashier. He pulled the dough into a thick rope; folded it back onto itself; raised it above his head, twisting as he went; and brought it back down on the counter with a thwack. He repeated this over and over until he was satisfied, and then spread the dough in an arc on the counter, cutting it into long segments. Each segment he pulled, floured, folded; pulled, floured, folded into perfectly uniform, round noodles that he tossed into a waiting vat of boiling water. Sun's Kitchen does this for every single order of noodles, yet somehow each order is also usually ready within ten minutes, accompanied by a complimentary cup of cold, sweetened soymilk. My (fairly large) serving of cold noodles with spicy pork was delightfully savoury and the sauce not too light. The noodles themselves were - of course - just the right thickness and not too doughy. The service at Sun's Kitchen was excellent, especially in comparison to what one might expect from a mall food court: although the employees worked incredibly efficiently, they also greeted each customer with a warm smile and were very accommodating to my request to take pictures. The one downside is that, located in Markham, Sun's Kitchen is a considerable drive for anyone living in central Toronto. And while the Pacific Mall food court is usually not crowded, the highways during rush hour are. read more

The Dan Dan noodles are delicious!! I want more! They make it fresh right in front of you and the dish is so affordable! read more

I'm pretty sure these are the best noodles in this continent and they're hand pulled. Get the Dan Dan and get it spicy (totally different flavour than medium). It's the most perfect thing. Softest noodles and insanely delicious broth. Worth a 2.5 hour trip from downtown. read more

Heard that there was a hand pulled noodle place in the upstairs food court in pacific mall. I've been looking for this place for 4 years and visit pacific mall at least once a month. Once I found Sun's Kitchen the food did not dissapoint! Amazing hand pulled noodles and a variety of delicious looking dishes, I order the beef soup. Will keep coming back. read more

Awesome hand pulled noodles. I always get the noodles with the spicy minced pork. The freshly made noodles make a huge difference, great texture to them. The pork is delicious but the spiciness is inconsistent, I've had it several times and only once has it been spicy at all even though I'm asked if I want it spicy every visit. It's great value for under 7 bucks, comes with a bowl of broth and a soy milk. read more

Sun's Kitchen is an amazing experience. The chicken broth was not overpowering at all and had a mild and tasty flavour. The noodles themselves had a very rustic and varying sizes, which only added to the "hand made" feeling of the dish. I had mushroom tofu noodle, while my husband and friend had dan dan noodles and bbq duck noodles. All were very high quality, delicious tasty dishes (we all shared). Worth the trip! read more

This food court spot is probably the best you'll find at pacific mall. The noodles are handmade and its amazing. For $5.99 there isn't anything else that compares. Must try! read more

this place is banging! ...literally. figuratively and food-wise, meh. I've long been attracted to this place for all the noise that it makes but only recently gave it a shot. the noodles in the DAN DAN NOODLES aren't nearly as "Q" (aka springy) as you'd expect from noodles freshly pulled and make the soup rather starchy. the nuttiness of the soup is unique and there's a little spicy oil but it's not a soup you feel compelled to slurp up. I was also excited for the WONTONS in spicy oil, as I've rarely come across non-soup wontons. the filling reminded me of siu mai/shaomai filling -- hearty pork with a shrimpy taste. but the skin also lacked springiness and the sauce it was served in was too sweet for our liking. this place is, however, good bang for your buck (har har) as a true Asian food court establishment should be, and each order comes with a cup of soy milk read more

I heard about this place through Yelp and decided to give it a shot. It was loud because the guy behind the counter was beating the snot out of the dough. There was a very user friendly menu with pictures, prices, and a number. I asked the lady to introduce me to something good and she recommended the spicy noodle soup thing and I gave it a whirl. It was fantastic! Very flavourful, spices just right, and very cheap and filling. Loved it! read more

John F said it best "WHAM WHAM WHAM" i went to lunch searching for this place and i had to stroll through a few aisles but then i heard the magical sound of fresh noodles hitting the flat surface. as i got closer i noticed the crowd around watching. i was hypnotized and instantly wanted to try it. i got #4 which was BBQ Pork with noodle in soup. The soup was nothing out of this world but just the thought of having those fresh noodles made it worth it. the portion was more than enough for me, who was getting over strep throat so soup was what the doctor ordered. nothing beat fresh noodles and if you haven't tried please check this place out just to taste and feel the difference of fresh noodles compared to dry, nothing like it. read more

If there's one thing I miss about Japan it's the food. Trying to get authentic Japanese fare here is next to impossible. I've come quite adept at making some Japanese staples like gyoza & tonkatsu but certain things like tantanmen is still beyond me. I can make an approximation but I can never get it right. That's part of the reason that whenever I go back, there are certain restaurants I hit just to be able to get my fix so to speak. So imagine my surprise when somebody told me about the Dan Dan noodle soup they had here. I'm of course aware that Tantanmen is the Japanese version of the original Dan Dan noodles but as I've literally never found a place in Toronto that sells this. At best it's the Chinese version served without soup and sometimes even served cold. It's really not what I want. But I heard of this and had to give it a try. One taste was all I needed and it was like I was back in Tokyo again. It's by no means the best but it's the best I can get and that includes what I make for myself. The soup is good. It's spicy and just thick enough without being too thick. But the noodles are the star. They have just the right amount of chewiness to them and are pulled fresh all day long. I really can't say enough good things about the noodles here. You just need to come and try them and I'm sure I'm going to be a regular here. read more

Craving Chinese hand-pulled noodles for days, I went online to search the recipe for how to make it myself. The reason I was trying to make it myself is that there was no authentic hand-pulled noodles in Toronto as far as I knew. To my surprise, I found this video on Youtube showing how the owner of Sun's Kitchen made his noodles. He was pretty good on the video. So my husband and I travelled about 1 hour from downtown Toronto to Pacific Mall to give this place a try. When we got there, there was a young guy who was making the noodles. Looking at the menu and the pictures on the wall, I was a little dispointed. Most of the items they offer are Cantonese style, not what I imagined. Usually such noodle dishes are made in the northern Chinese style. I ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and my husband ordered the BBQ pork noodle soup and we also ordered a plate of pan-fried dumplings. The noodles were OK. The guy who made them was kind of sloppy because the noodles turned out somwhat uneven. Some of the noodles were too thick and undercooked. The soup was very oily, which is not to my taste either. The most dispointing thing was the dumplings. The skin of the dumplings was too thick and hard and the stuffing was too dry and bland. I have had much better dumplings in Toronto. As far as the noodles, they may be the best in Toronto but they simply cannot be compared to the authentic hand-pulled nooles (Lanzhou lamian) that I am used to having in Mainland China. Anyways, we didn't enjoy the food at Sun's Kitchen. Maybe being from Mainland China, my standards are too high. I just cannot wait to go back to China to have real good hand-pulled noodles. read more

One thing I love about pac mall is the Chinese knock offs and the food. There is a lot of variety. This time we had noddle soup at sun's kitchen. The fresh noodles with spicy miso and bbq pork was great. The noodles were very distinguishable from dried noodles. From the texture to taste. The broth wasn't too rich. Also had the green onion pancake. That wasn't that good. Too greasy and you hardly taste the green onion. Fairly disappointing. read more

I wish I actually checked Yelp before ordering anything or better yet, waited to see them make their own noodles. Instead I popped over to the stall beside it and ordered some stuff and came to this place just to order dumplings. Lame. I'd like to come here again and actually try their house noodles but for now, my review will be based on the dumplings and the service. I'll keep it short but basically, I had to wait a while. In their defense, they were pretty busy. In the heritage village there this was probably the busiest place so I guess they are off the hook. The dumplings: A bit too much wrapping and not enough meat. That being said, it was very delicious, nothing too special, pretty much the standard pork recipe so I can't really complain. My dad's dumplings are pretty much the same recipe except filled with tons of meat. Nothing like having your parents cook for you.... I miss that. Anyway, watching the guy make noodles is a show in itself. They command the crowd whenever they are slapping that dough against that steel table. THUD!!!! WHACK!!! BAM!!!! read more

Judging by the number of customers in line, I thought Sun's deserved a try. They also held the promise of fresh pulled noodles, which were being made right before my eyes. It's a bit like dinner theater, in a mall food court. The rhythmic pulling and slapping of the dough being stretched out into tender noodles was almost hypnotic. With your choice of toppings and a complimentary soy milk, the large portion makes a hearty lunch. Easily customizable to the level of spiciness with the assorted sauces, Sun's Kitchen is a quick easy lunch. My slightly fatty beef brought this down a star, but I would be willing to try another topping next time. read more

A little taste of Asia in Toronto. Hand made noodles with just the right balance of chewy and bready. My favs are the dan dan noodles (a lovely spicy peanut broth that is creamier and more filling than a simple stock broth). If I feel like noodles in a clear broth I go with the BBQ duck version, though you can choose from beef, chicken, pork etc. read more
