Interesting noodle place in Vaughan across from Vaughan Mills, so I decided to give it a try after the positive Yelp reviews. Remember I come from Markham and am a frequent noodle soup connaisseur, so I know which ones are good and not.
First thing I noticed when I stepped in is that this place is family owned. Me likey, supporting local businesses! There was another table dining while I was inside, but it was just after the lunch rush (~2pm) so I didn't expect it to be busy anyway. The menu looks similar to the noodle places popping up in Richmond Hill/Markham (think Deer Garden), but it focuses a lot more on the basics. Don't expect your fish soup broth, laksa broth, tomato broth, etc. It's simple chicken or beef broth here. I went with rice noodles in beef bone broth, toppings including well done beef and beef tripe, and a baby octopus skewer.
I will say this, the prices here are quite steep. It's hard for me to justify a simple noodle soup for more than $10, so this had to be beyond excellent for me to return. For me, it was very good, but not excellent. I've definitely had better noodles in York Region, but if you live in Vaughan and don't wanna venture far for comfort food, by no means would I discredit this place. It does its job very well, and you save on gas.
So will I recommend this place? If you live in the Vaughan area, yes. If you're coming from Toronto/Richmond Hill/Markham? I'd skip.
