| - Finally tried out this location after having been to the north york location several times. And there's definitely a few differences.
This place is much larger, which means more a lot more seats available. There's at least seating for 60 (compared to maybe a dozen), but it still gets packed. The menu is also a bit larger, offering some additional bowls and apps that aren't available at the other location. Tables are packed together tightly however, and moving around proves to be difficult. I guess no matter how large the space is, things will still be tight as they try to optimize the number of customers they can seat. There's only two people taking orders and serving food, so expected limited service.
They also have a portrait of bruce lee holding three skewers of meat.
I ordered a large lamb noodle soup, since it is only offered at this location. They also have the option for a whole bowl of pork intestine. Can't beat markham when it comes to innards.
The bowl came within 10 minutes, but I still got mine before the table beside me, and they had ordered before I did.
Size of the bowl is alright. Comes with a good portion of noodles. Not as much meat though, but fortunately it's not mostly bones or anything. There is a strong sesame flavor in the noodles, which they likely mix in when they're making the noodles themselves.
The soup also had a lot of sesame flavor. You can see oil floating around the top. I don't have a particular preference towards sesame oil, but it tasted a bit too strong to me.
The lamb had that subtle gamey flavor, but personally I would have liked stronger lamb.
I've never had much luck with lamb noodle soup for the most part. Maybe the braised beef would be better.
They also take debit.
