If I could use one word to describe this restaurant, it would be "chewy".
Located at the Langham Square plaza beside Cha Me Cha, the name of this gem doesn't instantly give away that it is a noodle soup restaurant. Came here on a Saturday night and there were plenty of seats available (the -2 C weather (in April) probably affected the crowd). Because we were literally the only customers there aside from 3-4 other tables, we started getting nervous that we made the wrong choice. Totally had low expectations and when the food came out, gotta say we were surprised at how good it actually was!
What we got:
- Beef brisket potato noodle soup
- Pork ribs special soup with noodle
Noodles were super "Q" and perfectly chewy. Never had chewier noodles in Toronto. Noodles were way better than Magic Noodle, Dagu, Deer Garden, you name it. Soup broth was not your typical MSG or salt-heavy base, it had a unique flavour to it. The special soup definitely stood out as well.
Service was friendly and relatively quick for the potato noodle soup item, however it took another 4-5 mins for the special soup to come out. Not sure why the two items didn't come out together given it wasn't busy at all.
Will definitely return to try: chicken cold noodle with sesame and the shaved noodle soup options.
