Probably the best Taiwanese beef noodle soup in Vancouver area and my go-to place for comfort food. The braised beef is tender and flavourful. The broth is rich and mirrors the flavours of the homeland. Also loved basil clams and popcorn chicken too. read more

Aya Beef Noodle House - Original beef noodle soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I had heard many great things about this restaurant and was excited to finally try it, but unfortunately it fell short of expectations. The restaurant itself was clean and the staff were attentive. As for the food, the beef noodle soup noodles were overly soft, the chicken nuggets were too salty, and the deep-fried pork chop was oily and fatty. The one dish I did enjoy was the stir-fried squid, which was probably the most decent dish of the meal. I did share my feedback with the server, and I appreciated that they offered a small discount for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, despite the good service and clean environment, the overall food quality did not meet my standards, and I left disappointed after hearing so many positive reviews. read more

We had some lucky timing with this place! We were seated right away when we arrived, but by the time we placed our order there was a wait outside and they were adding names to a waitlist. We ordered a broccoli appetizer and a couple deluxe bowls. I ordered mine with the hand pulled noodles, and it was served with some egg, wontons, and veggies. The hand pulled noodles are good but probably wouldn't be my favorite choice for this dish. The noodles were thick and wide which made them heavy and slippery and difficult to eat with chopsticks. The broth was light and refreshing which offsets the richness of the other things in the bowl. The beef was incredibly soft and tender - if they had bones they'd fall off so easily. Overall this was a good time. Would recommend! read more

Got the beef noodle soup which had a good amount of meat. There was a small line forming outside the restaurant right after we were seated. My fiance got the pork rice which was flavourful. The pricing of the drink seem reasonable but we didnt order any but would like to try next time read more

I saw some videos on social media for this place and since I love soup noodles, I came to try their deluxe beef noodle soup. While the flavour was good, the reason for my low rating was that I found a bug. The staff was nice about it and gave me a full refund, but I do wonder how it got there. The menu seems to have a variety of other different noodles available, so I am willing to come back to give the place another shot... read more

Solid spot for beef noodle soup. I liked the filling of the dumpling and that I could choose the type of noodles. I chose the wider hand pulled ones and they were bouncy and stretchy, not overly thick or heavy. Beef was good and not chewy. The soup could use more flavour in my opinion. Seems to be situated in a pretty busy plaza even for a Tuesday lunch hour so I can imagine that parking would be hectic for evening meal times! read more

Really solid dishes that were very comforting, super filling, yet felt healthy and flavorful. Each ingredient stood out on its own and complemented the whole, and was cooked well. Even my husband (who doesn't like pickles) enjoyed the pickled cabbage in the beef noodle soup. I like that you can choose from several different types of noodles depending on your preference. We visited on a Saturday afternoon so it was quite busy, but customers steadily came in and out so we felt like we didn't have to wait too long. Parking was very easy as it shares a large lot with several other businesses. read more

I love the many different varieties that aya beef noodle house has to offer. It's not just their specialized beef noodle soup but they have options between other proteins like mackerel and lamb. I can really appreciate how they've added other specialty dishes, like the boneless braised hoc, dim sum; xlb & egg yolk bun. Keep in mind that each dishes anywhere between $12-$25. Family friendly with free parking available read more

Came here for the first time after the business is about 6 months in. The interior is quite modern for a Taiwanese restaurant. Service is quite fast, beef noodle soup being a staple here. The beef noodle soup is a 3 out of 5. Beef shank doesn't taste like it's braised well enough so that the flavors are not deep. Pieces are tender but flavour could be richer. Soup is flavourful but thin. The thin noodles though are very chewy and texture is perfectly al dente. Fried Squid Tentacles could use some more sprinkling of seasoning salt. read more

Unfortunately, I don't think this place has improved. I've eaten in a lot of TW beef noodle places and i don't think this tastes like a quality bowl of Taiwanese beef noodle. The noodles were tough. The beef was tough. The vegetables were tough. Overall I didn't really enjoy it. The location is also hard to find. read more

Aya has a nice friendly vibe. Quick service in a modern setting. The menu is nice to look at with mouthwatering pictures. It took a while to decide and I went with their signature Beef noodle soup with hand stretched noodle. It was plentiful and the beef was tender. I'm a soup person, I like my broths to be heavy and substantial (long all night simmer) and this was good but not to my taste. My cousin loved hers. The chicken with basil and mushrooms over rice was stellar, excellent umami. Good tea! read more

Visited this spot a few months ago. Got off of a ferry and it as a rather rainy wet weekend so wanted to go for some soup! Wanted to take my parents to try Taiwanese beef noodle soup and they were completely obsessed. Comforting flavours, we all opted for the knife cut noodles which was a fantastic texture, ordered some clams and popcorn chicken (which I forgot to take a picture of) as well and it was sooo delicious and absolutely hit the spot. Highly recommend and will absolutely come back for more the next time I'm in the area! read more

Many individuals have praised AYA's beef noodles and salted crispy chicken, and today, my husband and I finally had the opportunity to try it. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. We ordered a deluxe red braised beef knife-cut noodle soup, which came with tough beef, wontons with thick skin and minimal filling, minimal pickled vegetables, and a half-boiled egg that lacked marinated flavor. The knife-cut noodles were somewhat chewy, but the broth was completely flavorless. Having had my fair share of salted crispy chicken, AYA's version was excessively salty. I had to drink a cup of tea with each bite of chicken. Previously, I saw a group review praising AYA's salted crispy chicken as crispy, flavorful, and juicy, but our experience was entirely different. Both my husband and I found the chicken to be extremely salty, small in portion, and not crispy at all. My husband ordered a fresh taro milk tea with pearls, which we both agreed was the worst we've ever had. The milk tea had no flavor, and the pearls were small and hard, with a milk taste reminiscent of powdered milk. We couldn't detect any fresh taro flavor. My husband requested additional sugar, but the second time they brought it out, it was still flavorless and difficult to drink. My husband also ordered a pickled vegetable and intestine dish, which was overpowered by ginger and green onions, with minimal pickled vegetables and a flavorless intestine. I experienced gastrointestinal distress immediately after the meal. I spent considerable time in their washroom. We will not be returning, and it's no wonder they only had two tables of customers during lunch.The two servers were too busy chatting and had to be asked repeatedly to refill our tea. They stood around idly, chatting, with no smile or courtesy. Our meal cost $58, including tip. We left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied read more

I'm going to do the Yelp community a solid by including pictures since the first two reviews didn't include any. We're always on the lookout for any new Taiwanese place since my wife is from Taipei. This new place in Richmond is super convenient for us since it's less than a quarter mile from where we are staying. We ordered the Original Beef Noodle Soup ($13.99), Deluxe Braised Pork on Rice ($16.95) and Taiwanese Fried Chicken aka Popcorn Chicken ($7.99). The beef noodle broth had a very aromatic beef scent and taste, however, it was lacking some spices that I associate with Taiwanese beef noodle. I make mine with Lu Bao and it seemed lacking of it; I prefer my broth with a little more "punch." The noodles were wonderfully tender with some "bite" to it and the beef shank was quite tender. The rice dish was definitely the better of the two. The included egg is more like the Japanese ramen egg than the traditional boiled egg which is a nice fusion twist. Taiwanese sausage was delicious as was the braised pork pieces. Surprisingly, was the inclusion of pork floss which I haven't encountered in other Taiwanese rice dishes. The popcorn chicken taste just like you get at any other place. We always like ours with deep fried basil which this one has. Service was very good here and the two young ladies were very attentive to us and made sure we have everything we needed and would also occasionally check on us. 4.5 Food 5.0 Service Solid 4.5 and will certainly be part of our restaurant rotation when we're in town. read more

There was a bit of a wait when we came on a weekend afternoon. Prices were reasonable but the beef noodles could benefit from more flavour. The salt pepper chicken nuggets tasted a bit under seasoned. Not a bad option if you're craving beef noodle but it's not the best that we've had. Restaurant was quite roomy with ample of seating. Service was also decent. read more

Superb service and food was even better. Place was spacious and clean. I will definitely comeback whenever we visit Vancouver again.

The beef noodle soup is to the point, very flavorful, and a good portion. The beef is very tender and not too lean. The rice bowl with sausage is good, too, with plenty of flavor. It's one of the better beef noodle soups around. The attentive staff also helps with a good experience. read more
