"Summary: South Markham's answer to Scarborough's Deer Garden, this build-your-own-noodle-bowl spot offers a bigger bang for your buck offsetting average service and meh drinks\n\nTop Must-Get: lamb - topping\nTop Regret: mango milkshake/side apps\nWhat I'll Try Next: one of the rice combos\n\nI came here on a Sunday afternoon at 3 pm for a late lunch. It wasn't? that busy (about a third full), and it's got more of a homely vibe (might be the potted plants they line up the shelves with).\n\nTo order, we grabbed an order sheet and just checked off the soup base, toppings, type of noodle, side order, and drink that we wanted.\nThey too, are missing the super wide and flat rice noodles... Alas, the journey continues. They also come with more \"base toppings\" than I'm used to (parsley, mushrooms and cabbage all come with your noodles unless you check off that you don't want it).\n\nAnyway, their selection seems similar to competitors, but Lucky Noodle might have fewer drinks. However, while Lucky may have fewer options, they definitely come with bigger portions! \n\nFOOD\nI got lamb and bakchoy as my toppings ($1.50 for extra toppings after two). The lamb felt a bit chewy and overcooked but it was decent. The bakchoy was standard.\n\nThe defining part of a noodle place is the soup base. One unique part about Lucky is the thick pork soup base at the same price point, which I don't think competitors offer. However, I didn't love it and will probably stick with chicken next time!\n\nBig quantities is the name of the game here. Quality is decent. EXCEPT...\n\nThe appetizers. These are definitely smaller in size than other places, and took me about three gulps to down (to be fair, I was hungry, and most noodle-spot apps only take me five gulps to down anyway... But that's still a significant difference!)\n\nSERVICE\nService was okay. Definitely not the most attentive servers as we had to flag them down a couple times, and they mistakenly gave us someone else's order of luncheon meat... But hey, the food came quick and they were patient with us.\n\nAll in all, it's my current preferred spot for customized noodles!"^^ . . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . "0"^^ . "2017-04-02T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . .
