  • I'll be upfront in saying that when it comes to restaurants, I have a preference for dives 9 times out of 10. Dives seem more honest, almost as though the food is so important that the interior isn't. Well, this place is a dive. Almost literally. It's a small dumpling and noodle house, at the bottom of a steep set of stairs. Watch your step! I'd read a friend off of Yelp's review of this place and when I read that the noodles here are hand pulled, well I just had to go. This place really is a dump. Others have said the same so I won't keep beating that drum, but its simplicity was something I sort of took to. The lack of music, not so much. Even if I don't understand the music played at most Asian restaurants, it's still nice to have something in the background or if there isn't any background, something to fill the air space. So, there's things they could work on. But that's not what's important. The food. Those hand pulled noodles. I'll cut to the chase: They're quite good. A nice chewy consistency but still cooked all the way through, I got the fried noodles with beef and it was awesome. I was impressed. Lots of flavor, and a generous heap for $9. They reminded me of the Midnight Market Noodles I'd had in New York at the only Burmese joint in the city before it closed down. We also got the soup dumplings, pork and chive. Good, but not great. They were a little bland overall, but the filling was good, maybe a bit too much ginger. Last but not least, we got the beef and potato and onion pancakes. Pancakes were a bit too thick and overall the flavor on this dish was also a bit bland, but they were $8 and still good. The beef was fatty and tender, the way it should be. Service was okay. Nothing crazy here, the staff doesn't seem to speak a lot of English and you essentially take your own order down, but thats not new to me as I eat pho quite a bit and am used to it. I've almost come to prefer doing my food orders this way! I'd come back here as the prices are pretty good and the noodles too. It offers something most of the other Cantonese places on Spadina don't. Check it out!
