| - Visited on a Friday night at 7pm. Parking is a mayhem in this plaza. Park far so you can walk it off after you eat! Didn't need to wait and got a table for 3 people right by the door.
They're known for creating your noodle soup combo ($9.50). It includes choice of soup, 2 toppings and a drink.
You mark down on a piece of paper at your table what kind of soup, noodles, 2 toppings and drink you want. On the paper, it notes which broth has no MSG and which broths do have it. I find it honest of them to notify their customers which broths have MSG, but who actually knows if there is MSG in it? Most fish base soups had no MSG. However, I am not a big fan of fish so I did not choose a fish base soup. Comes with 2 toppings and after 2 are $1.50 extra. Choose a drink - cold HK drinks are $1 extra and specialty drinks have an extra cost depending on what drink you order.
I ordered a chicken broth soup with thin rice noodles, beef brisket and beef tendon, and a cold lemon tea for these hot and humid days in Toronto. Soup broth was a little salty because of the MSG. Some portions of the beef brisket was soft, but the tendon was even softer which was good for my liking. My bf ordered the gingko and pepper fish soup with thin rice noodles, beef tongue, pork liver and beef tendon. It was too pepper-y for his liking and would avoid choosing it as the soup base. My bf's mom ordered the spare ribs in black bean sauce on rice. At first the two noodle soups arrived fast (probably within 5 mins of taking the order), and the spare rib dish did not arrive until we had to ask the waitresses where it was after 15 mins of waiting (minus a star). Usually when you serve food, you are supposed to serve every person's meal all at once.. Typically does not happen at Asian restaurants. Pretty sure they forgot the dish because it came out in a flash.
I felt pretty bloated after I finished my meal and it was probably the MSG and the excessive amount of noodles.
Service was meh until it was disappointing at the end when there was a lot of people waiting for a table at 8pm. One of the waitresses saw we were finished eating and immediately dropped our bill on the table so she forced us leave and seat a new party. Uh ok? Trying to have a conversation here and you're making us leave? Please do not rush people out of your restaurant when they are trying to enjoy their dining experience. No bueno.
It was a ok deal for $11 meal, average and nothing too special. Cash or debit only.
