Decided to give this place a try since I've never been and I'm a huge fan of noodles. When we walked in during dinner time, the place was empty which sort of raises a red flag for me but we decided to try the place anyways.
After we sat down, I looked on Yelp for recommendations of what to order, and I noticed this place only has 2 stars. I regret not looking on Yelp before entering this restaurant but since we were already there, I felt bad to leave. I realized that the place doesn't have a lot of reviews to begin with so it may not be a great representation of what the place is really like until I try it for myself. But because the reviews were so bad, my friend and I decided to order one bowl of noodles and just share it because we didn't want to spend our money here. When the waitress realized that we were only getting one bowl of noodles between the two of us, she gave us a dirty stare. I got a little annoyed when she did that but I guess I can't blame her since we were being cheap with our orders.
We ordered the original braised beef noodles with soup. The dish didn't look too bad when it arrived but after trying it, I realized that the reviews made by other people were pretty accurate. I'm a huge fan of rice noodles and this did not taste authentic at all. The broth was salty and plain. Even though it was a beef broth, I couldn't taste the beef flavour at all. I tried adding vinegar and the chilli oil to the broth but it didn't make it much better because the chilli oil sauce was pure oil with no chillies at all. At first we thought the bottle ran out, so we went to grab the chilli oil on the table beside us but it was the same thing.
This place is not worth coming back to. There are so many noodle places on yonge street that are way better.
