9 pm hunger setting in, I knew it was time for dinner. I drove to the first place that read NOODLE and dove in. Apparently, their last call is 9 pm when I asked them afterwards. I was greeted on my way in and out as well. I was offered the bench seating along the walls where the tables here have installed induction ranges.
I got the Myungdong Kalkuksu(Handmade Noodle $7.99) and in a minute I was served Tea and Kimchi then the next minute the Noodles came. I started taking photos as usual, little did I know it was the same place Jennifer K. got CAUGHT.
I was served Kimchi on a plate while the couples and families were given a small JAR to pull their Kimchi from. Pure discrimination, they don't think I can finish a jar of Kimchi on my own?!?
The Noodle Bowl was metallic and huge as per most Noodles I've had at Korean places. I still don't understand the TINY spoon thing which has no purpose, it's a stir-stick for your Tea if you wish. Pick up the whole bowl and start sucking in the Soup. The Noodles aren't that great but not the worst I've had. It's hard to make me believe its handmade when the Noodle shape/size are all so uniform and consistent.
The Noodle has a small topping of BEEF pieces, Onion, Carrot, Chives, Cucumber. I didn't think it would be a spicy item but either the boiling Soup got to me or it had some spice to it because I was feeling the heat. By this time 9:30 pm, I was alone with 3 Korean women sweeping, chatting, mopping while the men seems to be stationed at the register most of the time or goes inside the kitchen.
I forgot my WALLET in my car so they let me go grab it. It's probably the first time the woman heard of such thing as she was talking to me, having a laugh. The other tables of Koreans were having Noodles as well while the family of Chinese had the Shabu Shabu too.
The DECOR has nice solid dark wood style tables and the walls were in the style of the once existent Tofu Village(RIP) in Markham. Food photos line the wall that are shown on the menu as well. I was about to try the Soy Milk Noodle but someone's review is actually affecting my choices unfortunately and it's totally my own fault. I was looking for the Dumpling Noodle which Man Doo Hyang has but this place doesn't have it. It's either Noodle or Dumplings, not both.
Speaking of Man Doo Hyang, I much prefer the Noodles there than this place therefore the 2.5 *Stars* I give to this place because the 0.5 *Stars* is for the NY Yankees & T.O. Blue Jays game being shown on the LCD for people like me that have nothing else to do while waiting for my meal.
