| - Tried this place a year ago but decided to visit again because GB handpulled noodles was full and a huge line was waiting outside.
It's a medium sized restaurant (compared to the places nearby), but they only have one washroom.
Service is pretty good, with lemon water refills frequently.
The menu consists for a variety of handpulled noodle bowls to choose from, and if you're not interested in noodle soup you can get some other items like fried noodles or something. But if you're here for the noodle soup, you're getting a bowl of noodles for $9. Portions are not bad either. Downside is there isn't much room for customization, so you can't choose the thickness of the noodles for example.
I ordered the LU WEI bowl because it was interesting to see that offered on the menu. And also because I had a sample of LU WEI from a new taiwanese restaurant just last week so I wanted to see how it compares.
The noodles were pretty good. Not too thick, not too thin. I do prefer chewy noodles but not overly thick, so that was a plus. The garnishes provide a lot of flavour for the broth. As for the LU WEI broth was...it was alright I guess. The flavor wasn't as strong as I was hoping, but it does have a nice flavor to it. They add in about 5 different toppings including pork tongue and pork belly to give more variety to the flavour. The pork bellies were thin and small slices, but they had flavor.
Despite the shortcomings, I think $9 for a bowl of handpulled noodles is still worth it, given the options in the area.
