On a snowy day, I was looking for warm noodle soup place and decided to try their takeout given we can't find any parking spot nearby. We tried their beef braised noodles and the lamb skewers. Both were awesome and they timed your pickup time pretty well. The noodle was tasty, and the beef was super soft and flavourful which hit my every expectation on this dish. The lamb skewers ($9.99 for 4) were marinated very well, with perfect flavouring. It brought back a lot of childhood memories immediately. This is definitely my No. 1 go-to place for lamb skewers in future! Overall, I was very satisfied with the two dishes I've tried and they were having great value for money too. The chef is clearly having solid cooking fundamentals in Northwestern Chinese streed food. I strongly recommend this restaurant and will definitely revisit to try other dishes in future.

Solid noodle option on York campus…read more If you're not at York/Seneca already, you'll have to find and pay for parking. The space is clean and fresh, although the many handwritten paper signs posted detract from the atmosphere. Laminated menus sit on a table by the entrance. It's convenient but also detracts from the atmosphere. The bins positioned by the doors do the same. Having said that, the staff was immediately attentive and accommodating. We chose our table and were provided with a jug of water along with our tableware. He was happy to give recommendations and we chose one beef noodle dish, one dumplings soup, and one appetizer (marinated shredded potato salad), which came in a choice of large or small. We chose large which was just enough for 2 people to share as an app. The salad was ready immediately and was spicier than expected. I liked the crunch - it's absolutely nothing like Western potato salad. It was a bit oily but otherwise a refreshing side for palate cleanser. My friend's noodles were ready first, which I had a taste of. The noodles were visibly fresh and hand pulled. The texture was great. You have many choices of thickness. The beef was soft and flavourful. The broth was clear but still tasty. The cilantro was fresh. My dumplings were not as spicy as you would think from the colour of the broth and pepper flakes. It was still highly flavourful. There was a good number of dumplings and they were well filled with beef stuffing. The skins were also good. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. He was very easygoing and friendly, definitely a plus to the experience and an asset to the business. You don't have the option to pay with credit card, only cash or debit. Cash will net you a 5% discount. The cost before tip for our app and 2 bowls was just over $40. I don't splurge for a casual on-campus meal often, but this was a good experience and I would return occasionally in future.

The toppings were even more than the noodles (make sure you mix it well since there might be a lot of stuff under the noodles). The only thing was that it was a bit too salty. The Meat Lover Noodles looks yummy too. Service was nice, friendly and attentive. The place looks small from the outside but actually has a nice spacious and clean seating area inside.

First off, this place is decorated nicer than most pho places I go to, so I give it extra credit for that. We tried two similar pho bowls, and they came out quickly. Broth is quite good, noodles weren't overcooked (which can happens sometimes), and the toppings generous. Ordering a L or XL bowl and sharing is a much better than deal than ordering separately. Service is fast and efficient. Note, they only take cash/debit only. Overall, I was happy with our meal. Good pho, and reasonable prices when you share bowls with family.

Service was very friendly and phenomenal. We ordered 2 of their Kalguksu Combo's which came with a choice of meat, rice, side dishes, kimchi, and a bowl of hand pulled noodles. We went with their jaeyuk and bossam. We also ordered their mandu since we heard good things about it. I LOVED their kimchi. It was so flavorful and fresh. The side dishes were just alright. Nothing too special. I didn't really like the Jaeyuk, the flavor is there but the meat just isn't tender. But I've never had tender Jaeyuk or Bulgolgi so maybe that is just how it is. The bossam on the other hand was really delicious, tender and soft. I highly recommend it. The kalguksu was great as well. The soup was hearty and the noodles themselves were so soft with a nice chew to it. The mandu was also really good. They were so large and plump and the wrapper was so thin. This place is amazing for the price! At about $23-24 for each combo, it comes with a ton of food. And their gigantic mandu was only $13.5 for 6. Their Kimchi and Kalguksu was definitely the highlight for me and is comparable to the ones I've had in Seoul. I would definitely come back again. Also if paying by cash, it's 10% off.

I found that opportunity and was severely unimpressed with the food on what looked like a slow day. Ordering the ginger beef bowl and spring rolls, I eagerly waited and received my meal. The bowl was flavourless and lacked any indicator of salt, fat, or acid that i would expect from a small fast food chain. The spring roll was forgettable and was still cold in the middle. I left unimpressed. I might try it again because one experience doesn't make up for the impact of one location. But I'm wary for my next attempt as well.

Tried Petit Noodle recently and it's a solid spot for Hong Kong-style noodles…read more The Super Bowl ($24.49) is massive and comes with lots of toppings plus a crispy fish skin side dish. Definitely shareable. The House Special Bowl ($19.49) was also flavorful, and you can build your own bowl starting at $13.49 if you want something simpler. The toppings are marinated and stewed HK-style, so everything is really well seasoned. They also have a Timer Challenge promotion in March where you can win a free meal if you stop the clock at the right time. Bonus points for free parking and high chairs for kids, but the restaurant is pretty small, so it's better for smaller groups. Good flavors and reasonable prices overall.

As for the cart noodles themselves, I think I like them better than The Noodle Bar Markham which was my previous go to. It is more pricey though as the minimum is 3 toppings and most of the good stuff is considered premium with an additional $1 cost each. I think the portions are a bit bigger than other cart noodle places so that helps justify the cost a bit.

I liked the mushroom more than the crab cake as the crab cake was quite dense and not very memorable. The house fries was very hot and crispy, not overly seasoned so you can season it to your liking! The portion size was excellent and we were both very full by the end of it. The restaurant is located on the top floor and it was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. They also had some cute music playing as well. The restaurant is clean and service was nice.

Good portion, slightly bouncy noodles, and the favouring was spot on. Definitely worth $9 at half off! Service was also good, wasn't too busy on a weekend and you get a small jelly at the end. The orange in the water is a nice touch as well. Will definitely be back to try the other items!

It's been over 6 months since I last came here but I decided to come since they were celebrating…read moretheir 5 year anniversary and was offering BOGO for their noodle dishes. The inside is still very modern and sleek. However, the seating is still really uncomfortable since they are still using those hard wooden seats with no back support. The restaurant is also really cramped and tight. Unfortunately, we had to wait over 30 minutes for seating because most of their tables are two-top tables. And we came with 4 people. We ordered their Beef Tendon Noodle, traditional hand pulled beef noodle, stir fried tomato beef noodle, and their Chicken Chow Mein. As for appetizers, we got their bbq traditional chicken wings, BBQ pork belly, and their teppan squid. This time, I thought everything tasted really good. Last time, my complaint was that the hand pulled noodles were way too soft and overcooked. But this time, I asked for a thicker noodle and it came out perfect. It had a nice chew to it and wasn't overcooked. But the stand out for me was actually their stir fried tomato beef noodle and their chicken chow mein. I vastly prefer these two compared to their beef soup noodles. It just has a stronger flavor profile that suits my taste buds more. As for the appetizers, skip the chicken wings. It was $8 for 4 tiny pieces and It's just not worth it. The Teppan Squid and their BBQ pork belly were both AMAZING. It is really strong and flavorful so I would only recommend them if you like strong bold flavors with a bit of spicy kick. Overall, this time I really enjoyed my meal and we got 2 free noodle dishes! I do think the prices are reasonable for the location they are in. They also still charge 2.4% for using your credit card which is quite disappointing.

We got there around 11:30AM and it wasn't busy yet but had people trickling in as the time passed. Service was a solid 5/5. Staff were so nice and happy - always smiling at us whenever they brought anything to our table. The dishes here were great with some adjustments to their dishes, I think it could be a solid 5/5! Here goes: Viet coffee 4/5 - Love me an iced Viet coffee. Was a tad sweet imo, so think they could adjust their condensed milk portions for this. Overall was a great caffeine hit drink though. Banh Cuon 5/5 - Oh my goodness - must get! Chewy steamed rice rolls with a pork filling dipped into the fish sauce. Came with grilled meats which were to die for. Bun Cha Ha Noi 5/5 - Meats were very well seasoned in the broth like sauce. It's a dipping type noodle and was absolutely divine. Bun Bo Hue 4/5 - This was good but not too spicy. Lacked a bit of umami flavour and felt like it could have used a bit more depth. Pho Bo 4/5 - Standard beef pho that was comforting and delicious. Overall a pretty solid spot for Vietnamese food. Would visit this place again.

Besides enjoying their staple rice dishes with different proteins like grilled pork and noodle soup (pho), we also tried their newest dishes. Vietnamese Crepes - bean sprouts, green beans herbs + shrimp/beef wrapped in crepe Banh Khot - small egg cakes with toppings (shrimp, beef, pork, mushroom) These dishes were very refreshing and flavorful. Definitely, Vietnamese cuisine still has a lot more to offer than just pho. I recommend you give these dishes a try!

They always close early that we couldn't make it before. This restaurant was not big, but the types of noodles and ingredients were varied enough for different people to be picked. And they do have different packages that customers can add on drinks or soups with cheaper prices. We had 2 different types of noodles, then add on a bottle of milk tea and a bowl of fish ball soup. It didn't take long to get the noodles. It was really tasty. The bottle of milk tea was smooth and really HKG style, just a bit small. The fish ball soup was ok, but it was small too. The original prices for those 2 add on items were a bit expensive, for add on cheaper prices, that's ok. We will still like to come for different noodles.
