We've been to Mom's Pan-Fried Bun before, and whenever we're craving pan-fried pork buns, this is…read moreone of the places we go to! Their buns are made in-house, and you can tell they're fresh. The pork pan-fried buns have a soft, fluffy wrapper with that crispy golden bottom that we love. The pork soup dumplings are another favourite of ours as they are juicy and flavourful. This visit, we also tried the stir-fried thick noodles with shredded beef and squid skewers, and both ended up being new favourites! The noodles were savoury and nicely wok-fried, while the squid skewers were tender and well-seasoned. We also ordered the pan-fried pork dumplings, pig's ear in garlic sauce and pumpkin pie with red bean paste. There's a good variety on the menu, making it a nice spot for sharing. For us, the pan-fried pork buns are still the main reason we keep coming back.

This restaurant used to be decent when they first opened. But now it's gone downhill. The food is…read morenot freshly prepared. And the taste is terrible now. First thing that was bad was the pan fried mom. That is their signature. Literally they microwaved the bun a d dumped a bunch of oil and lightly fried it. We can tell cause we heard the microwave and also it took 2 minutes to make. A proper pan fried bun takes time and you can see the char marks all over the buns. Also there was no soup in it. Which is what makes it good. The next thing the beef pie. Also microwaved it wasn't crunchy the beef filling had ton of oil and gave me indigestion Lastly the wings. Literally the worst breading I've had. Since they expanded. And all this place has no quality control which is probably why it's half empty these days. Do not come to this location it is awful

My visit to Noodle Max would be one of these unexplained phenomenon. I was really hoping to try this hyped up beef noodle place in Richmond Hill, only to have my hope squashed by a long line up at 4:20pm in the afternoon. 4:20!!! WTH!!! On a snowy, slushy late afternoon, I blindly (and slowly) drove my way aimlessly to Aurora. I remember some Asian restaurant getting rave reviews up in Aurora and that being Noodle Max (maybe it wasn't so aimless). If you are someone who believes in destiny, I can tell you destiny will occasionally give you sxxxxy things. Noodle Max would be one of them. Noodle Max's main offerings are Lan Zhou style noodles and was it ever an unauthentic and underwhelming experience. I wouldn't go as far to say the soup was tasteless like water, but it's pretty bland. While the soup for Lan Zhou noodles are not generally crazy strong in flavour, it should still have the taste of spices. The beef slices were also pretty tame in flavour. They were ok. The main plus about their noodle was the portion; quite big. The noodle had better texture than most store bought noodles, but it did not have the proper floury taste and the limited flavours from the soup was not able to hang onto the noodles. Aurora used to be a black hole in terms of dining options, but not anymore. How Noodle Max continued to garner such a high Yelp and Google rating befuddles me.

There are lots of HK style places in the area that opened up, I'm not sure if I'd come back here. Side note: they also charge .25 cents for takeout boxes if you have leftovers you'd like to take home.

I don't usually trust places with chicken balls on the menu but I'm so glad we gave this place a chance. As a party of 6 on a Saturday at 8pm, they were able to easily accommodate us. Parking is also very easy to find. The menu is very extensive and can easily be overwhelming, with over 100 items. However the staff are very helpful in describing what each item is, recommending what's most popular and what they personally like. We never had Cambodian cuisine before, so we took their recommendations and they were bang-on! It was my first time having Cambodian-style pho - the soup base is garlic based rather than bone broth based, which honestly I think I prefer more! The wings were also crispy (not much special flavour) and beef skewers were very lemongrass-tasting, which was refreshing. Their prices are also not bad at all. If I was in the area, I would definitely come back.

It's a comfortable place to be in. Not sure if I'm explaining it right but it just feels nice there. Staff: Everyone was so nice and helpful Food: They sell more than pho! Eclectic menu but with all good stuff. Next time I go I think I'm going to try the congee It's a nice place to come with a lot of people because there's something that everyone can find on the menu.

I was dining in so it was surprising to find my soup served in a styrofoam take out container. This made eating the dish a little challenging, with the 8 petit wontons on top, then a layer of box choy, and then I get to the noodles. My next surprise was the rice noodles instead of egg noodles. I don't think I have ever had this dish anywhere on rice noodles. I figured out why: rice noodles need a flavourful broth, like in Pho, but this broth was pretty weak. I stopped halfway through the container. I suspect this place will be a nice alternative to nearby Swiss Chalet and Harvey's, especially if you like the hot table Chinese food like they serve in the mall food court. I'll have to try again with a different dish to see if I can raise the rating. In the meantime, there are some choice authentic Chinese restaurants in the area for me.
