| - I must admit, expectations were high b/c of all the rave reviews and after spending a cold, rainy day in Montreal, I was really, really looking forward to an awesome bowl of hot beef soup with hand pulled noodles. The restaurant is a well run, smooth operation with limited options on the menu, good/excellent value, esp. with the combos, with each order made fresh and quickly with good service. A sure fire recipe for success. I'm not surprised they are popular - so, why disappointed? In short, the food. First, the noodles lacked the chewy goodness ("kew-kew") I would expect from fresh hand-pulled noodles. A big bowl of noodles is only great if they are not soft. In addition, the broth was watery - okay flavor but not at all rich in mouth feel. Lastly, the beef, while tender, barely had any flavor. The tea egg was good with a nice tea essence (vs soy). Will try a different hand-pulled noodle establishment next time.
