  • I'm back on Yelp! This place is right in the heart of chinatown and I was a bit skeptical to go here at first because I have really high standards for noodle houses. I have been to a lot of noodle houses in the richmond hill, markham, thornhill area. Also, where my family is from, we eat a lot of noodles to begin with already. So, for me to rate a noodle place 4/5 stars, it's really good! When it said "hand-pulled ramen" I was questioning whether or not it was really hand pulled and also why they wrote "ramen" instead of just "noodles". This was my first time here. I ordered the preserved duck eggs with peppers (cold dish) and also the braised beef with hand pulled ramen. The preserved duck eggs (or thousand year old eggs) is definitely an acquired taste. I'm pretty sure on YouTube some people eat this egg as a "dare", implying it's some crazy feat that people do and is like a punishment. But for me, I love it. It has a bit of a strong fermented after-taste, the yolk is green (it's supposed to be green) and the white of the egg is black (it's supposed to be black). It was really nicely seasoned for me (although I do have a strong palette). Besides being salty, and eggy, and having a bit of a "stank", there's no other complex flavour. You can add some spice to it if you want but I definitely think this is an acquired taste. I didn't eat the peppers though (they were bell peppers) because the skin on the peppers looked not very fresh/clean. But, that's besides the point! The egg itself is good. The noodles were really good. Perfectly cooked, not too soft, not too chewy, just perfect. The broth was equally as good, very flavourful and full of body and meatiness and heartiness. The beef itself was very very tender and just looking at it wrong will Make it fall apart. It's a typical hustling Chinese noodle house. It's not formal, but that doesn't mean the people there are rude (they were very nice). Everything is fast paced, people go in and out all the time. It's not quiet, it's not super noisy, it's like any other typical average chinatown restaurant you would find. It doesn't feel awkward going by yourself either since that's what I did today! Oh and lastly... For what you are paying, it is totally worth it! The egg appetizer and the noodles costed me a total of around 12 bucks after tax. It's definitely worth it!
