My husband and I stopped by this place based on good reviews on Yelp…read more We ordered wontons soup, Szechuan shrimp and beef. We gave 4.5 stars on the Szechuan dishes because they were flavorful and generous portions and 3.5 stars on the wontons soups since the dough in wonton was thick and undercooked. The soup flavor was good.

Located in London (Ontario) this is a chain noodle restaurant where they specialize in handmade…read morenoodles. When you order you can choose from a variety of noodle sizes (from thin to wide or thick), you can also choose your spice level. Protein is typically sliced beef shank and toppings include lots of green onions and cilantro. You are asked at the time of ordering if cilantro is okay. They have some new items on the menu like pickled veg with beef. Service is good and the place is incredibly clean. They have an open kitchen surrounded by glass (so you can see the noodles being made) and the glass was really clean...no streaks or anything. Seems silly to be impressed by this but given the stereotype of Asian restaurants, this was impressive. Service was good...we would come again when in the area.

We tried this place as they make noodles fresh. It did not disappoint. We tried the lamb skewers-…read morethey were soo good!well seasoned that you can just eat it like that, no sauce , no dip nothing needed. We also tried the traditional beef noodles - I wish I had asked for spicy because it was bland for me even though I added chilli oil. The lady who served us was very nice. As we had not been here before she talked to us about all the different dishes. Asking us what we like and sharing the menu items that match our tastes. The ambience was good. Quite busy at lunch time. Most tables were full.

Food was fresh, delicious and delivered nice and hot ! It's our new favourite Chinese food place!read more

Had to get a quick lunch so walked over here and ordered the chicken balls and some spicy chicken…read more The chicken balls seem to be their specialty and they taste very good and are rather large. The spicy chicken was good too. The cook/cashier was very helpful. Place does have chairs but it is takeout only.

I just want you to know, deep in the heart of Old East Village, there is a little ray of sunshine…read morewaiting to be discovered. No, I'm not talking about the dumplings at So Inviting, I'm talking about the lady who works here! I love dumplings so I knew when I was in the area, I had to check this place out. The name itself, and just the fact that they sell these amazing pockets of goodness (by weight) had me running for their doorstep. Yamei Min popped her head out from behind the counter to give me the 411 on how everything worked. I don't think I've ever met someone SO NICE. Every time I've visited, she always greets me with a huge smile and hello. She's even gave a little discount when I waited a while she was in the back. But honestly, I'll wait forever for her! Yes, the dumplings are good. They also serve noodles, soup, and other baked goods. She also sells the dumplings frozen for you to take home. They get a bit so-so near the end of the day, but hey, she only charged us 50% for those so I can't really complain. I loved putting a few drops of malt vinegar on them and dipping them in soy. So Inviting is SO inviting and I implore you to PLEASE visit them and give it a try. It's SO worth it! ^_^

This has been on my "to try" list for quite some time. It didn't disappoint. This is not a place…read moreoffering hundreds of menu items. There are approximately 5 - dumplings, potstickers, rice, noodles and soup. The dumplings and potstickers offer variations on their fillings (pork, beef, chicken, veg). But like many places with a succinct menu, they do what they offer well. Clearly homemade dough. I preferred the dumplings (steamed...small) to the potstickers (fried...large), and the soup over the noodles but all were good. The three sauces offered weren't soy based and varied in spice level from mild to a bit of a kick. Good value for money. I received 2 soups, noodles, 10 potstickers and 18 dumplings for $40. When I arrived the owner added another 10 potstickers and 10 dumplings to my bag for free as they were about to close. I froze the extras because they are very filling! Definitely give this place a try.

On the way back to the US. We took a stop at the London for overnight and looks for a warm dinner…read moreas it is starting to get cold in the area at the end of September. After reading other reviews online we decided to try this. The concept is simple, they seat you on a table then you scan the QR code to order, then the food will come and you pay the bill online simple. The restaurant is super clean and nice. It has a modern coffee shop vibe. You don't expect to eat authentic Chinese food here. But the food is great. I got beef and chicken skin on a stick, they both are flavorful and got great spicy on it. Then the noodles soup was great with Sour and Spicy base, wish it has more meat. Then the fried bun was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The intestines were little on the blend side. But overall the food was great. London is a great stopping point between Detroit and Toronto, so if you happen to stop by try this place out.

Don't come here to eat, there are no dishes displayed on Google Maps. The waiter in this restaurant…read morehas a bad attitude. There is no menu to show how much it is, but only a verbal quotation. Because it is a hot pot buffet, we chose the Yuanyang pot. When I checked out, I found that the spicy butter soup base costs 10 dollar and the tomato soup base costs 5 dollar, which he didn't say it will cost before. He put the two of us at a table without lights, and the experience was very bad. There are few dishes to choose from. In the end, the price was very expensive, 40 dollar per person. After we reacted with him, the average person was only 2 dollar less. And the waiter told us they doesnt get tip！ The tips all belong to the house！ unbelievable！ its totally illegall their boss did that！ I think that why the waiter seems upset and no any good attitude！ dont give any tips for them！

An interesting, authentic Chinese restaurant that hits the spot in a city you wouldn't expect…read more Decorated in cosplay figures. Our waitress was a cosplay figure as well. Yet the food is authentic and spicy. Portion size was definitely enough. Both dishes hit the spot. We got a non spicy chicken dish with vege that my kid gobbled up. I for a braised beef dish with wonderfully spicy flavor - i got the spicy just below "chengdu" which was pleasant. It was like 75% fully occupied at 1:30pm all with Asian clientele, a good sign. I would be back.

Delicious Szechuan food can be hard to find. The menu here is limited but prices were reasonable…read more A huge bowl of fresh egg noodles, lots of braised beef, half an egg, peanuts and potato served with very spicy broth (there were perhaps five levels of space available) was well worth $16.99.

Overall very good mix of dishes with my favourite being the pork Cantonese egg noodles. Simple and delicious. The chicken balls were actually tiny pieces so the meat and breading was balanced. I found the lemon sauce too sweet/tart but the chicken was cut in big chunks. General Tso's chicken had a nice sweet heat. And pad thai also nicely done. Limited delivery zone so more of a take out option. Worthy if in the area or looking for Chinese that has more solid gluten free options.
