Autumn seems to have arrived in Vancouver with little warning. The warmth of summer has faded into sharp wind, grey skies and the kind of crisp-cold air that makes a steaming bowl of noodles feel less like lunch and more like shelter. That was what brought me to Wow Full Noodles. I had been looking for something quick, warm and comforting, and a restaurant specializing in Taiwanese beef noodles seemed perfectly suited to the afternoon. I was greeted almost immediately upon entering, followed by a loud call of "new customer" toward the back kitchen. The same announcement echoed through the restaurant whenever another patron walked through the door. The staff appeared to still be finding their rhythm, giving the impression of a restaurant actively training and settling into its service routine. I decided to keep things simple and ordered the signature beef noodles. Only afterward did I notice that the restaurant was also offering lunch specials for essentially the same price as a regular bowl, with an appetizer included. The promotion was never mentioned while my order was being taken, which felt like a missed opportunity, particularly when the lunch set offered noticeably better value. The kitchen, however, moved with remarkable speed. Barely four minutes after placing my order, a steaming bowl spawned in front of me, sending wisps of heat and aroma into the air. The handmade noodles were easily the highlight. Soft yet pleasantly bouncy, they carried that satisfying elasticity that makes freshly prepared noodles so enjoyable. There was a tenderness to them without ever becoming limp, and each bite delivered the comforting texture I had been hoping to find. Generous slices of beef were tucked throughout the bowl as well, making each mouthful feel hearty and substantial without taking attention away from the noodles themselves. Unfortunately, the broth told a different tale. It arrived intensely salty, followed by a bitter, almost medicinal finish reminiscent of soy sauce and star anise that had been simmered too aggressively for too long. Rather than developing into a deep and rounded richness, the flavours seemed to have concentrated beyond their most pleasant point. The bitterness lingered stubbornly on the palate after each spoonful, gradually overshadowing the beef and noodles beneath it. Instead of wanting to savour the broth, I repeatedly found myself reaching for my tea to cleanse my palate. The portion was also more modest than I expected. For a bowl meant to serve as a warming and satisfying lunch, it disappeared surprisingly quickly. Everything arrived piping hot in simple melamine dishware, practical for a casual noodle shop, though the overall presentation remained fairly understated. There are promising foundations here. The welcome was immediate, the kitchen was impressively fast and the handmade noodles had a genuinely enjoyable texture. The service still seemed to be finding its footing, but that is something that can improve with time and experience. Taiwanese beef noodle soup is the kind of dish that seems destined for days like this. On a cold Vancouver afternoon, with summer already slipping into memory, I walked in hoping for a steaming bowl that could make the season outside feel momentarily distant. What arrived was warm, swift and quietly comforting, with wonderfully textured noodles carrying the meal from first bite to last. Steam rose in slow ribbons from the bowl as the city beyond the window settled into autumn. For a few minutes, the grey skies, the chill in the air and the rush of the afternoon seemed to fade into the background. Sometimes, that is all a bowl of noodles needs to do.
Very good noodles with fast service and reasonable prices right in downtown area. The broth is very flavorful and beef was tender. The noodle also has a good texture. I had a filling meal here and I'm very happy with the service as well.
Smaller Taiwanese restaurant with a limited menu, but very delicious food! I love popcorn chicken, so I had to try their combo. The chicken pieces are large, tender, and very flavorful. It easily beats many popcorn chicken dishes in Seattle and the Eastside, though it is also pretty pricey. I'm not a fan of the singular, cold broccoli, I wish there were more vegetables included in the this dish. If I were to come here again, I'd just order the chicken as a side since it's around the same price as the rice meal.
Went here last night for a quick dinner with coworkers! First time here, and I was craving Taiwanese beef noodle soup. The waitress explained the menu well, and I ordered the tomato beef noodle soup. It was so flavourful and delicious! The soup was a bit thicker than I expected but hit the spot on a cold night. Beef was tender. It was very steamy and warm in the restaurant - beware of sweating during your meal haha.
Rain got you down? Not to worry! You can always count on a bowl of hot noodle soup to make you feel better -- and Wow Full Noodle House did just that. We ordered: 1. Signature beef noodle soup - Sooo many slices of well cooked and tasty beef! The broth however, was on the saltier and spicier side despite us asking for mild spice level. 2. Tomato beef noodle soup - Also came with many slices of delicious beef. The broth was thick and full of tomato sweetness. I would order this again. 3. Braised pork rice - Tasty but nothing special 4. Salt and pepper chicken nuggets - Crispy and not oily.
Upon the recommendation of my friend who lives in downtown Vancouver, I went to Wow Full for a quick meal. I got the signature Taiwanese beef noodle. It was perfect for a cold, fall day. The soup had a flavourful broth, the beef was tender, and the temperature was warm. The staff were friendly and came over several times to make sure our cups were full of tea. The restaurant is fairly small, but there were still sufficient seats and we didn't have to wait.
Wow indeed. We got two soups - the traditional Taiwanese beef noodle and a veggie noodle soup with no meat broth. Loved the fresh chewy noodles and the broth I had was nicely spiced and umami yummy. Not for the faint of stomach in terms of the spiciness. The meat in my bowl was tender and I felt it was a good portion. We were served quickly and enjoyed our meal. The server made us feel welcomed and cared for. I feel it was a good value for what we received. Simple, small, cozy restaurant. Go on a rainy day and warm yourself up from the inside out with this spicy soup!
Cuisine: 9 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 9 Overall: 9 I am in love with this place. On a recommendation from Jando S, I came to try the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. Our group got three bowls with varying spicy levels. Honestly, the spicier the better for me, but every broth was full of beefiness and umami. Noodles were perfectly cooked with a nice chew, while the beef shank pieces were super tender. These were some of the best bowls of beef noodle soup I have had outside of Taiwan. Surprisingly, the rest of the food was just as excellent too. We really enjoyed the Taiwanese Braised Pork with Rice and reordered an extra bowl right away. The Fried Chicken Wings and Fried Crispy Boneless Chicken (aka Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken) were both well done too. The only thing I hesitate on recommending is the Handmade Wontons in Chili Oil. The pork & shrimp wontons themselves were actually pretty tasty, but the chili oil could have been better. For that busy downtown area of Vancouver, I believe the prices were very reasonable. When you consider the high quality of the food, I feel the value is more than adequate. I really look forward towards my next visit. This will now be one of my must stops whenever in Vancouver again.
This little joint welcomes you like family. The beef noodle soup is pretty authentic. Affordable and the service is great. The sourkraut fish didn't pack flavour but the beef noodle soup made up for it.
Taiwanese beef noodle in Vancouver! Quite authentic especially the soup base and wide noodle type. Small and down to earth (no frills) place. Convenient downtown location.
A cozy spot in downtown, there's a decent amount of seating considering how small the place is. Service was prompt and friendly. We tried out two dishes: fried boneless chicken and their signature beef noodle soup. Chicken- crisp yet moist. I wish it had some deep fried basil leaves with it or maybe a little bit of spice on it. It also seemed a bit pricy but in the end it was actually a pretty good portion. Beef noodle soup- we ended up getting mild, but you can also get no spice, or more spice. The noodles had a really good chew to them. The beef was tender and the broth had good flavour. This is honestly one of my favourite beef noodles now. The portion was also good with a reasonable price. Overall, it was a nice meal to enjoy on a rainy day. I will be back for the noodles!
I stopped by here with my friend after attending an event at the Convention Center. We were looking for a place to sit down and have something warm to eat after a long day of walking around on a cool Fall day. We found this spot and thought why not. It wasn't very busy here during our stay at the restaurant. The gentleman running the front was quite enthusiastic recommending items and I appreciated that. I ordered the signature beef noodle with no spiciness. I thought it was a solid dish. The beef was delicious and the chew of the noodles were just right. My only complaint is that the lack of spiciness might have made it a bit too salty overall. We were pleased with our experience here at Wow Full Noodle House. The food was good overall and I would be happy to stop by again for another meal. I would wholeheartedly recommend stopping by here for a quick meal to anyone looking for a good noodle dish.
Came here for lunch one day, it's the most comforting meal on a cold day. The broth is flavourful, the meat is tender and the house made noodles are addicting. I arrived at 11:30 and got a seat right away, the service is quick and really friendly. I would come here again for lunch.

I can't believe I forgot to give this spot a review from our July Summer Vacay! My kids and I are obsessed with Taiwanese cuisine, especially their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. We all order the same dish, but different level of spice. The beef broth was super flavorful & the noodles soaked in the spices and broth. I wish there was a bigger bowl option haha! It is a small restaurant with tables for small groups and if you're flying solo there are a few stools in the front looking out the window. It's not in the best area, but this spot really is a gem. The service was great as well! I'm so happy we stopped by for a quick bite before we went back to exploring! read more

My boyfriend and I were about to head to our usual ramen joint when we noticed this little hidden gem. It doesn't look super polished but rather more a mom and pop shop (family owned) shop. The broth was really flavourful and perfect saltiness level and tastes very authentic. It felt like it was made with a lot of love. The owner came out and served us water too and he mentioned the noodles are also handmade. I really like how QQ the noodle was. It was roughly $17 per bowl and REALLY FILLING. A very generous amount of noodle which is perfect for me ( i like carbs more than protein ) It came with 3 thick pieces of beef brisket I would rank it above my usual spot, Uno Beef Noodle soup and the one from Richmond Public Market. I am excited to come back with more friends here! read more

My son and I visited this restaurant twice during our short stay in Vancouver -- the beef noodles were truly exceptional. The hand-pulled noodles had a perfect balance of chew and silkiness, the slow-braised beef was deeply flavorful and aromatic, and the lightly tangy broth with just a hint of pickled vegetables tied everything together beautifully. read more

We happened upon this noodle shop while visiting from out of town, and it was AMAZING. The handmade noodles have a wonderful bounce and chew to them, and the beef broth was rich and comforting. A perfect meal after walking around the city. We also had an order of fried shrimp dumplings, which were quite delicious. And they are super nice! read more

Went here to get a quick bite, the server was exceptionally kind and helpful with helping us what to choose on the menu. I could tell he was working very hard making all of our noodles because they came out super fresh and flavorful. The ambiance was enjoyable as well, it's a casual and comfortable setting with chill music in the back. Would come here again! read more
