| - What we had: Braised beef noodle, lamb soup noodle, noodle with pork belly, stir-fried sliced noodles ShangHai style, stir-fried sliced noodles GuangDong style, stir-fried sliced noodles XinJiang style (tried both sliced and hand pulled noodles, sliced noodles are chewier and don't get soggy), a crapton of skewers of all sorts (This was over multiple visits, our stomachs are not that big.)
Taste: 10/10
Our go-to noodle place. Great broth, great sliced noodles. Stir fried noodles are a little inconsistent in terms of amount of salt and other ingredients, but overall pretty good. Lamb skewers are tender, flavorful (spicy with cumin, just like the ones you get on the streets in China before street food in China became ultra sketch), and delicioussss. Best lamb skewers we've had in Canada. Other skewers are OK but why get the others when you can have a crapton of lamb skewers?
Value: 9/10
Prices for skewers are pretty on par with other Chinese skewer places, but these skewers taste better. Noodle prices are fair too. $15 (after tax) per person will get you full and some more.
**Average cost per diner: 15$ After Tax+Tip
Service/Convenience: 5/10
Finding a parking spot is almost impossible at regular meal times. Also the parking lot isn't very spacious so it's a one-way path going around the lot. This place is also super busy during regular meal times so you'll probably have to wait 15-20 min. Service is not super fast but fast enough given how busy they are, you get a jug of water at the table so you don't have to try to flag the waiting staff down for water.
Once they got my order wrong and when I politely insisted on having what I ordered, the waitress was visibly annoyed. She gave me my order nevertheless. Could be more professional; I wasn't even being rude nor was I asking for special treatment, and they weren't very busy that day. All the other times we went were smooth sail in terms of service.
Edit additional note: In Chinese restaurants, you typically have to wave at the wait staff to get their attention for taking orders and other needs. If you just sit there and wait for them to come fawn over you, you will be waiting for a loooong time. This is standard service level and most efficient. Also, servers usually do not come check on you. To them, no news is good news. You only wave them down during the meal if you need something or have a complaint.
Would go back? Definitely, whenever I'm down for some soup noodles. (At least once a month.)
Would recommend to friend? Yes, the sliced noodles and the lamb kebabs.
Similar places: None as far as we know.
**Disclaimer: Average cost per diner constitutes the amount (per person) we eat to get full without drinks. Total cost is usually divided between 2 diners, one of whom can regularly eat 7 slices of XL pizza (16") in one sitting.
