Located on Yonge Street just north of Centre in Thornhill, the restaurant occupies the location of so many ill-fated others.
After Wok on Yonge, there was a small parade of restauranteers that tried to make a go of it. Though it looks small from the outside, the restaurant seats quite a few people on its two floored shop.
Parking is a problem for people who think that the few spots upfront is it - there are plenty of spots in the back. They should put up a sign, as people see the three spots up front occupied and will opt not to go there. I used to think that years ago with Wok on Yonge.
Not sure if it's been said but it's funny how the place is named The "Noodle" and Noodle - even if the previous is written in Korean. Anyways, the place is almost a three star for me.
Had the Chicken Guksu and the Cold Momill Guksu for lunch. The Momill Guksu is much like the japanese Zaru-Soba - grated radish, some seaweed, sweet-ish sauce-base, green onions on top of Soba noodles and served cold. It was ok but far too sweet for us and I think the soy base was off in flavour. The Chicken Guksu was ok at best. The chicken itself tasted like it was boiled forever to make a broth for a base and then used for this dish. The soup based was ok - I guess from all the chicken meat to make it. The noodles in both dishes were well prepared.
Perhaps I just chose the wrong ones. The other guests were slurping it up happily - most had the spicy noodle.
The restaurant business is a tough one to take on and I have not seen this place packed at anytime at all. Though not anything stellar on my list, it is worth a repeat visit. I just hope they do well enough to make it a go.
Cheers!
