One of the best places in Markham to get beef bowl soup (not Vietnamese style of course). The alternative for this restaurant used to be Magic Noodle for me and I got sick of the high amounts of MSG they were putting in their broth.
To be honest this place is not that much better in terms of sodium levels. I still feel super thirsty after eating a bowl of soup here but the taste is SO much better. The broth is usually clear and it tastes very beefy and light. They give you a decent portion of meat. And holy, they give you a lot of noodles. I recommend getting a size small and getting some of their appetizers along with your meal. My boyfriend got the large and they give you so much more noodles with it so it was super filling for him. He's got a big appetite and even he gets a size small now!
I recommend steering clear of the beef brisket, it's a hit or miss. Some days the meat is full of fatty pieces or some really good pieces of beef! Their other types of beef bowls are great though and are usually consistent.
If you haven't been here, check it out! You are in and out relatively quick and it does keep you full for a long time. This isn't the place to hang out and dine for long periods though, it gets too crowded and their seating isn't comfortable.
