| - I agree with a lot of the reviews here that this place is very similar to a Deer Garden across the street. However, I believe Deer Garden is still slightly better in terms of the house special -- DIY soup noodle.
Environment:
The plaza is very similar to Time Square, such that it is predominately restaurants. There are plenty of parking space. Inside the restaurant, Grand Noodle appears to be clean, fresh and model. At the table there's this electric stove top in the table, but I don't recall seeing hot pot on the menu.
Food:
We ordered a bunch of stuff. The soup noodle was exactly the same as Deer Garden in terms of the ordering process, where you select the soup base (with the option to remove unwanted toppings), noodle, 2 orders of the meat/veggie, 1 free hot drink, and option for discounted side dishes. There was the option for pork cheek and it was pretty good. But I think Deer Garden has better soup base though, and they give you more veggies, without having you to order more.
I also got the chicken cutlet with mango sauce and fries. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the fries were the better part of the dish. They were really crispy and reminds me of those delicious fries at Costco. The chicken part was baddddddd, the meat was kinda cold and had no flavour, and the mango sauce was bland as well.
There was also the stir fried white radish cake that we ordered, which tasted like something that I could make it home with those pre-made white radish cake that you can get from Asian supermarket.
What I do love about Grand Noodle is its price point. The dishes were really cheap, and we had so much left over to pack home, while the bill came at only $23 (before tips). In comparison to Deer Garden however, Grand Noodle still comes in second, but as a casual dining restraint on its down, Grand Noodle is a pretty decent place to try out.
