| - A wonderful find in Montreal Chinatown. I have passed by this place before when in the area but I never stopped for a meal here. I was craving a yummy, warm soup in the midst of freezing weather. The restaurant is down quite a few steps, so it isn't extremely accessible. Decor is basic, yet modern. This place gets very crowded during lunchtime, so come early. The menu is great, featuring a large selection of noodle soups and bowls, as well as a few entrees and appetizers. All of their noodles are handpulled which you could watch through their clear window to the kitchen. Prices are extremely reasonable, so I would recommend trying appetizers along with the soup. We started with their dumplings, which came with 12 to a serving. While they weren't as amazing as competitors who specialize in dumplings, these were yummy. There was nothing wrong with them; they were juicy, thin, and filled with tender filling. We also got the dumplings in peanut sauce, which were fantastic. The skin was so thin and the dumpling absorbed the peanut flavor well. I got the (not spicy) beef noodle soup. The noodles were incredible, not too thick, perfectly cooked, and incredibly juicy. The beef was flavorful and tender, and the broth was spectacular, although it tasted more like a chicken broth than a beef broth. Their chicken noodle soup is yummy and has a slight Asian twist to a classic. Their rice and noodle bowls are also worth it, but the soups provide the full experience.
