So...found out that my fave noodle bar in Toronto, Jim Chai Kee, has a location on Midland as I was Yelping trying to find some good Noodles in the area.
This place serves the exactly same food as their other location on West Beaver Creek. So what that tells me is that they have their receipts down to a science.
Same, fantastic food and service.
Broth is perfect. Right amounts of salt and other delicious flavour, which as the owner explains is a secret family recipe. I've bugged her many times for it but she won't give it to me.
Wontons are huge, flavourful and perfect.
Price: $5 will get you an very generous portion of 4 wontons, noodles and broth. If you want to go vegetarian, it'll cost you a whopping $3.
This location is less busy than the HWY 7 location and is definitely more modern.
As a side note, their hot sauce is the best I've ever tried. It takes dried chillies in oil to a whole new level.
Two thumbs up!
