| - A new noodle place around Markham. They will soon open another one at Bay and Dundas. Heard Dagu was a famous noodle place in China; so we'll give it a try.
Arrived around 6:30pm and it was 70% fulled. Mainly young couples ranging mid 20s- mid 30s I assume. It is a good place for a quick dinner on a cold night. The interior design is very modern and clean.
Their soup is famous for collagen due to the large amount of pork bone they use to make the broth. I ordered sour and spicy noodle & my bf ordered the famous beef bone noodle soup. Mine came with side ingredients which I had to add in myself. His was already added into the stone bowl and he just added the rice noodle. His noodle came with two large beef bone with beef meat on it. (I didn't taste it) but he said the meat was tender enough to fall off the bone yet it was chewy and has a texture to it. I guess it sort of feels like beef brisket and it won't melt in your mouth maybe? LOL
My side ingredients was alright. I believe they can do a better selections. They had corn, ham, 1 cube of fish tofu, purée picked vegetable, one intimation crab stick, minced pork, cooked quail egg, bamboo shoots, fried vegetable that tasted like peppers and black fungus strips.
Noodle texture wasn't as chewy as I thought, but I still wouldn't mind it. However because I had left overs, the next day when I had it... the noodles soaked up the soup became soggy and thick.
Soup/ pork bone broth can be way hotter (temperature). As soon as I put in the lettuce and semi-frozen beef, the soup wasn't sizzling hot anymore :(
The flavor was alright. It wasn't bad but I have had better.
Overall, maybe it is what we ordered but I only think it's A-okay.
PS: they have a side dish of nuts for free.
PPS: After we left, I found out if you post a picture on social media they will give you their pumpkin pancake dessert or something. (bummer!)
