| - New spot on Baldwin?! Why of course I was itching to try it out. Being a fan of Ryu's I was curious to see how Noodle would compare to my favourite noodle spot on the block.
Although it looks pretty bland from the outside, I enjoyed the spacey interior, however they did run out of table space and had to bring out an extra table from the back to accomodate a group of 3. My question is...why not have already set that table up earlier for lunch hour? Something else non-food but table related that I wasn't a big fan of was when the staff seated a couple at the same table as a guy eating solo. This would not be a big issue if these were big tables, but these tables are just big enough to seat 4 people and I know if I were to be eating solo I would definitely not like to be in very close proximity to 2 strangers! It made me feel awkward just being on the table across, so I'm definitely not going to be coming in here to eat solo which is something I often do in the city.
Now to the food. Oh wait, before that I must comment on the menu readability (a little shout out to previous Toronto CM Vivek there :-p) it was pretty horrible, the entire menu was printed on what could be recycled paper, but the font choice coupled with the fact that the words were mightily scratched out made menu readability not easy, especially when trying to decipher what's in a certain dish.
So yeah, the food, I was hungry and quite a few items on the menu sounded great, so I wanted to try a couple, I went with the "Evil in the Soup" which I was told would be a "snack size" but ended up being big enough for a meal if I were to couple a pork bun (which we also ordered and ended up being a lot bigger than we were led to believe) with it or something. I enjoyed it, but it was no where near spicy to warrant the name "Evil". Although it does look like you're starring into a dark abyss surrounded by chili where glass noodles reside inside. For my "main" meal I went with the noodle option of "Old Being Style"....something? It was sort of like a Chinese version of a bibimbap, with really thick doughy noodles. It was really nicely done though and left me feeling heavy after eating it. And the prices overall were not bad, my "Evil in the soup" was $3.90 and the pork bun was $3 and most of the other items were on average around $7 or $8.
Service was OK, the staff are certainly friendly, but they could have come around more often to see if we needed more tea or offer us some water, and perhaps know how to distinguish between "snack" size and "meal" size? I'm unlikely to come here on a busy lunch hour, but maybe on an off peak hour?
