| - Fudao Noodle House
Brand new place. Only been open for a few months. It's similar to hot pot, but on a smaller.
Location: Between Dundas and College on the west side of Spadina. There's a few on street parking, but you can always park at the green P on Baldwin at the Kensington market. I believe it's $5 after 6 pm. 3.5/5 stars
Atmosphere: Not a big place, but can probably seat 30-40 people comfortably. No loud music playing, they did have a tv tuned to CP24. You can hear it in the background, but not loud enough to drown your conversation. Decor is simple. I did personally like their mural with the logo. 4/5 stars
Service: I must say, they have excellent service. They had 2 servers and a backup, who I believe was the owner. Very helpful in ordering they type of broth you should order. Did not have to ask to refill our drinks, they automatically did it. Since they are new, I wonder how long before the service dies down? I hope it doesn't. 4/5 stars
Food: When you order the soup, it comes with 11 sides which can be added to the broth. Put the raw meat first so it can cook in the hot soup, then add what you want. There are a few different broths, we had the pork and an original, they were not too salty, but also nothing special. They do offer more noodles at no charge. I also ordered a spicy skewered squid. This was a little disappointing. The squid was cooked right, but the flavour was off. It looks like they grilled it with this teriyaki sauce and sprinkled cayenne pepper on top. Didn't taste good with the raw peppers. They should have mixed it with the sauce. Overall, nothing special with the food. 3/5 stars
Price: I think it is a little overpriced, since their main dishes are soups. But the extra noodles is a nice touch. And I think you pay a little extra for the experience. 3/5 stars
Overall: It was an ok place to eat. Clean little place. Would come back to try other flavour broth. 3.5/5 stars
