| - Noodles, noodles, everywhere, and not a drop to...eat?
Surprisingly cheap and tasty, you won't be disappointed if you're seriously about your noodle noshing.
I came for a Father Daughter Lunchdate, and we were on the lookout for some pho with a little ambiance (ie not an establishment where you put your face in your noodles, slurp them up onto your shirt and then dash). We pulled up and I had reservations. Will this be a noodle place for sad people who think chicken balls are legit Chinese food? I want some intestines in my noodles, so that would be tres uncool.
ATMOSPHERE:
A wee bit like a cafeteria. Warehouse-high ceilings and big windows, plastic seats and tables. You ain't coming here for the ambiance my friends - you come for a hot lunch that will fill you up with empty delicious carbs, that's what. Definitely simple and kid-friendly, you could bring a pack of them with you and pull a few tables together. Not good for a date, nope.
FOOD:
Right on your right as you enter the door is the menu in quadruple size on the wall. Say what? Italian, Thai, or Chinese noodles? All under the same roof? Yes. I know what you're thinking. In a pan-whatever cuisine restaurant, something's got to give.
Well, my Thai curry soup was surprisingly delicious. Not too salty, goopy or creamy (usually bad food quality and health signs). My pear, walnut and blue cheese salad was also surprisingly good - fresh pear slices, natural walnuts, and decent cheese on crunchy spinach. Dressing not too goopy or slathered on, either. My inner fitness nerd didn't cry her eyes out over this meal, despite the sodium. Mmm, delicious delicious sodium.
My father went with shanghai noodles with beef and they were also fresh-tasting and not too oily (anyone who eats Chinese on the cheap, you know what I'm talking about).
SERVICE:
It is a serve yourself joint. Place the order, grab a number, your forks, chopsticks, napkins, whatever else you need, and find a table. The server brings it out to you. The people looked tired but they were pleasant. The food wasn't exceptionally fast, but they made it to order, so no complaints.
LOCATION:
Right near Mount Joy GO station. For those of you in Toronto, that would be Near The Edge Of The Known Universe (watch out, you'll fall off!). For us GTAers, that means East Markham, in the developing area near York-Durham line. The plaza is easy to find, north of 16th and Bur Oak on Highway 48.
OVERALL:
Come to this place for a quick and dirty noodle nosh on your lunchhour or for a casual weekend snack. Our tab clocked in at $16 bucks for both of us and we left well-fed.
