I've been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time because I love Lanzhou noodles. I have visited other restaurants in Toronto for Lanzhou noodles and I knew I had to try it here.
Service: service was friendly. The server was exposing to us what the "complicated meat" special was. It was a dish with all sorts of beef pieces according to him. Service was friendly throughout our meal. Water was replenished often without being asked to. Servers were attentive.
Food:
1) complicates meat special: this had assorted meat pieces including tripe and tendon. This was very tasty and it was a great side dish to our noodles.
2) pickled peppers: great side dish to add some variety to the noodles.
3) lamb noodles: this was warm and hearty. The broth had flavor and it's a heart bowl of noodles. It's enjoyable to have some plain noodles in a clear broth without too much oil.
4) meat noodles: I was most excited for this since I love noodles in sauce. However I was about disappointed to find that it was so bland even though it was thoroughly mixed. I've had other Lanzhou mixed meat noodles before and I loved how flavorful it was. But this dish here was a bit disappointing. It wasn't horrible but I wished it used more flavor.
Overall I liked the lamb noodles. But I don't think I'll come back when I crave for Lanzhou noodles in sauce.
