| - Overall Experience: 4/5
Highly recommended! Just minutes away from Eaton Centre, bus terminal and Ryerson University. If you're in the area, you should give GB Hand-Pulled Noodles a try.
Food: 4/5
The menu is quite limited... two types of noodles, a noodle soup and a saucy noodle, and then a few side dishes. They have a small menu, but they do it right.
If you're someone who likes Pho or Ramen, I suggest giving this a try. I was worried about the Special Beef Lanzhou Noodles lacking in flavour based on the colour of the broth, however it ended up being packed with flavour. It's the type of dish to warm your body and soul. I could see myself wanting this while feeling under the weather. The small size is just the right amount, its not too much and not too little, you'll leave satisfied with a small. The cut of beef they use isn't the most tender, but still good. Oh yeah, can't forget the noodles! Definitely hand-pulled and made to order, and has great texture. I recommend the 2nd least thick noodle (called "xi") for this dish.
The Pork Sauce Mixed Noodle dish is the perfect balance of flavour and textures. Because it isn't a hot dish, it would be great on a hot day. The cucumber is a great asset to the dish, as it adds a refreshing aspect. I recommend the "kuan" noodle thickness for this dish.
For these two dishes, after tax and tip my bill was $25.
Service: 5/5
Wait staff are all very friendly and quick to come to your assistance. The waitress was gladly willing to offer her opinion on what thickness of noodles I should get. After seeing me struggle to separate my noodles, the waitress immediately came over and offered to cut my noodles for me without me having to ask. Because the restaurant isn't very big, the waitresses are often watching you eat. But on the bright side, the staff are quickly at your service. I was in and out within half an hour.
Atmosphere: 3/5
Restaurant is small and seating is limited to about 30 people, with a mix of table seating and bar-type seating. The restaurant fills up quick during lunch hours. With each order that comes in, the chefs will bang dough on the counter as part of their preparation, which can be very loud and catch you off guard at first. However you get used to it. Be warned, the floors are very slippery, especially if raining or snowing outside.
Tips & Recommendations:
-Try the Special Beef Lanzhou Noodles with "xi" noodle thickness
-Try the Pork Sauce Mixed Noodle with "kuan" noodle thickness
-Lunch Break Friendly? Yes
