| - This restaurant has been here ever since I moved to Canada in 1997, and it still exists today despite the changing nature of the Finch-Midland plaza. You have to give credit to the fact this place is one of three (according to the owner) that's still standing since the 80s.
The 3-star rating is a combination of food and an absolutely friendly owner (note: only the owner is friendly. The other two employees - yes they only have three employees here - aren't as social and talkative). If I'm rating just the food, it'd be a 2-star. This place has absolutely zero specials or meals of any kind, and everything is a la carte. For example, a table of two with two bowls of noodles and two drinks would total around $23, as everything is counted separately. Considering the dark atmosphere of this place, one would surely go beyond this place for good food, and it shows for the fact I never see more than 3-4 tables full here.
Now, why did I say the owner makes the 2-star rating a 3-star? Aside from the owner being very talkative, he is willing to experiment with new techniques to make food, and will certainly take your advice on how to make the food better. My dad spent a good 20 minutes talking to him after our meal, and the owner actually explained the whole process of how he cooks the meals. Of course, my dad offered ways to modify some ingredients to make it tastier and/or healthier, and the owner was thankful of my dad's suggestions. Since he's willing to take advice (and let's be honest, I didn't get a stomach ache after my meal so at least it's edible), I give this place 3 stars.
