| - Four stars, zero for ambiance.
Located in a depressing underground food court, you would be forgiven for walking by Noodle King as you meander through Toronto's PATH. Surrounded by dank chain resto stalls, you might chalk up long lunchtime lines to a lack of affordable options narby.
Noodle King is definitely affordable, and the food's pretty swell, too.
The menu is limited to Chinese lunch staples; proteins including great char siu, chicken and your choice of wonton, served over noodles'n'broth or alongside steamed rice and blanched veg.
My usual is a bowl of soup with egg noodles, wontons (pork or shrimp) and some of that glorious red-dyed pork. I reach for the chili oil, but those in the know (and with a sweeter tooth than mine) may opt for the "spicy sauce", a thing I didn't even know about until someone behind me in line ordered it.
If I'm starving (which i usually am), I'll add a spring roll. Tasty if I catch it when it's really hot; kinda sludgy otherwise.
Still, for under $10 it's tough to go wrong.
