| - We arrived at around 8 PM and the seats were filled here and there. We were seated soon after and were given the menu and lemon water. I liked how they give lemon water, but it may not be the best if you're eating spicy food...
The seating was comfortable and the design of the restaurant was nice. There is a variety of seating: single seats facing the street, tables with chairs, and the comfy couch benches. At the back of the restaurant, you can see the noodles being made in-store!
The menu has a lot of photos and cute names! We ordered the Triple B (beef brisket) noodle and the G.I. Ju (pig intestine dao xiao mian - blade cut noodles). As well, we ordered a Juli Jelly, which consisted of mung bean noodles, cucumbers, carrots, chili sauce, and some vinegar. I mixed everything together, but it came out to be way too spicy...I had to get a bowl of water to dilute the spicyness. One thing about the jelly is that it is already pre-made, so the waitress just took it out of the fridge for us. I would have preferred if it was made to order.
As for the Triple B beef brisket noodle, I got to pick from the different kinds of noodles on the menu, so I picked the classic noodle since it is the only round-kind. The other noodles are flat, which I don't enjoy as much. The food came quicker than I expected. Upon first glance, the beef noodle looked like any ordinary bowl of noodle, but after tasting it and seeing the beef and white radish inside, I was pleased. However, the noodles were a bit too soft and the soup base could have been better. The brisket was very tender and there was a lot of tendon attached to the meat which I really liked! Also, the soup is not spicy, so it would be perfect if that's what you're looking for.
I have to say, the pig intestine noodle was very well made. The dao xiao mian was delicious! They were chewy and on point. There were some shanghai bok choy, pig intestines, scallions, and a VERY SPICY soup base! I had to rest after each time of eating the noodles because it was too much for me to handle. If this wasn't this spicy, I would have to say this noodle is my favourite. The soup base was good, but it was slightly too spicy for my liking!
Another bonus is that this location is very close to UofT campus, so it is a very good spot for students and late night eats! The staff were all young and friendly, and pretty quick with bringing the food/extra bowls we asked for to us!
