| - Despite its name being Auntie's Chinese Burger, it was their noodles that won me over. (Have I ever mentioned that I'm a noodles/pasta lover??)
We ordered the pork burger combo (comes with a smaller sized cold noodles and homemade soup) and the handmade B.B. noodles. The pork burger was alright, and didn't do anything for me. It was ok, but maybe next time I'll go with another meat choice to see if it changes my mind on the burger.
The cold noodles are very appetizing and refreshing. My friend told me that when she comes to the restaurant with a group of friends, the cold noodles is always ordered as an appetizer for everyone to share. I can see why, it has that ability to get your appetite stirring (my analogy to this cold noodles is like the seaweed salad you get at Japanese restaurants). Though keep in mind for those who can't handle spice, this has a nice flavourful kick to it. I would definitely recommend it as an appetizer or for a refreshing meal on a hot summer's day.
The handmade B.B. noodles was a second favourite. The handmade factor was easily noted as the texture was chewy and had a "elastic-y" feel to it. Long wide strands of noodles was available, and even though my first impression of the bowl was "this isn't enough!", I quickly realized how filling it was, as I began to have trouble finishing it at the end of the meal. Once again, because this restaurant specializes in Northern China cuisine, this dish is spicy as well.
Tip: Make sure you tell them little spice if you can't handle spiciness. China spice is very different from North American spice. A little spice here does a lot of damage.
Another thing to note is that this place is CASH only. Not even debit is accepted. Good thing for me, I found an ATM machine in the same building.
