| - Not for the faint of stomach, fans of noodle soup can get their dose of numbing spicy flavor at this mainland noodle shop. We ordered the intestine soup with less spice and the beef noodle soup with medium spice.
The intestine soup base broth was pretty basic and still had quite a bit of spicy kick to it. The intestines were chopped in thick chunks, which I find is inferior to thinly chopped intestines, however weird that might sound. Bottom line is, it wasn't nearly tasty enough for me to want to see the bottom of that bowl.
The beef noodle soup with medium spicy was pretty spicy, but in a 'masking all the flavors' kind of way, i.e "numbing spicy". If your into that kind of thing, then you should definitely go spicy here. The problem with numbing spicy is that you get all the taste of chili oil, and basically minimal taste in broth, beef and otherwise; erm not sure if I ordered noodles with spice or spice with noodles at that point.
Though the flavors weren't bombastic, they did give hefty portions of noodles and decent amount of intestines and beef; the noodles were also a good texture and weren't soggy or anything, so that warrants some points.
I wouldn't come back here as there are so many noodle shops on Yonge st alone that offer great flavorful broth.
