    Not in this area often but we decided to try Bing & Noodle World. They specialize in Hangzhou food and are in the same plaza as Neptune BBQ House and Rib & Chicken. We dropped in on a Friday for lunch (around 12:30pm). The inside has a decent amount of tables. There's only one waitress manning the front. The menu consists of pancake/crepe, congee, fried stuff, appetizers, noodles, street fried, dry noodles, dim sum and rice. - Dong-po style thin noodle ($14.99) - the homemade thin wheat noodles were disappointing. No bite or chew to them. They give a massive portion but noodles were clumpy. Broth was weak, lacked depth and complexity. The best thing in the bowl was the pork belly slices; tender, a touch fatty and flavourful. - Street fried style vermicelli ($15.99) - went with the spicy option (no heat, just chili flakes). Not much pork but the egg was delicious. The vermicelli had a good wok hei but nothing unique about this dish. Wasn't impressed with the food at B&N World.

    Totally missed out when they first opened about 3 yrs. ago?? As I have seen this place opened replacing my long time "Hong Kong Style Cantonese Noodle place" when they finally closed their doors, Bing is a reincarnation of a similar genre of food but from Northern parts of China. With Covid, I almost don't count the years 2020 & 2021...when everything is so surreal! I remember passing by and they were closed for an extended period of time then re-opened and then only for take out orders, and now they do have dine-in service...when I had an opportunity to try them, I didn't hesitate. Simple dining room with minimum decor, one staff on duty when we went in for a snack at around 2ish in the afternoon. As I have checked their reviews on Yelp, I kinda know what I would order, and it did not disappoint at all, in fact, I regret not coming here sooner. Highlights : Noodles!! They use a thin version of noodles from Northern China, I like the texture as they still have a bite even after its been in the soup for a while, it really compliments with the various topping you can choose from the menu. I had the Pork Kidney and it was done perfectly well!! "Bing" as I would call it Chinese Pita Bread! Freshly roasted bread with sesame on the crust, its crisp on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside, our choice was Minced Pork with Preserved Veg. perfect balance of savoury & sweetness! This is one of those items that looks simple, but to make it well, it takes skills & experience! Overall, this is a great alternative to some of the more spicy Szechuan restaurants that is getting more and more popular now in Vancouver, so if you want something hearty and filling, "Bing & Noodle" is for sure a great choice!

    I came here a few months ago and loved the shumai here! I always talk about it! I came a few days ago and got the shumai and it was not the best... Not sure what happened but I was quite disappointed as the skin was very hard and not soft as it should be. :( There was also nobody eating here. I was the only one eating here at 5pm. It has a big menu but seems like the quality possibly fell off or I was just unlucky

    Bleeding, undercooked deep-fried chicken breasts.

    This restaurant has been here, I think, a couple of years, replacing an earlier Chinese noodle shop. I have gone by numerous times, but a couple of weeks ago decided to try it for lunch with two friends. This place serves what is basically Hangzhou cuisine. They serve noodles, some deep-fried dishes, and the signature Hangzhou "bing", which is a sort of stuffed pancake. The atmosphere is a basic Chinese eatery set-up although the furniture looks somewhat beaten up with strange repairs made to the chairs using "Great Stuff" expanding foam that has leaked out so that it is exposed....strange to say the least. It is a mom-and-pop place, with the husband tending the cash register and often loudly berating the two elderly male cooks, and the wife serving. The service was average and polite, and the wife was friendly. We ordered braised pork with picked vegetables noodle soup, deep-fried chicken breasts, and a couple of "bings". The soup was meh, and rather bland, but OK. The deep-fried chicken breasts came out as deep-fried wing tips (mainly bone and deep-fried skin [in error]). We pointed this out to the wife and she had it replaced, with the husband loudly berating the cooks for the mistake. The chicken was awful. It was overly fried and terribly greasy, so the skin was very hard and it tasted like the oil was quite old and rancid. Or perhaps it was refried, leftover chicken breast from an earlier meal. Chewing into it, the flavour was odd and somewhat unpleasant, and the meat had the texture of chicken meat that has been thawed and refrozen a couple of times and, moreover, it was bleeding, with fresh blood dripping over the serving plate. Needless to say, I spat it out and didn't eat more as I was afraid I might contract salmonella or something. The "bing"/stuffed pancake was disappointing as it was like a minimally-stuffed pita bread that didn't have enough flavours and nothing as I had ever eaten in Hangzhou. I thought that the food was rather expensive, particularly given its average-to-poor quality. We only left a small tip and the husband came chasing us out the door berating us for a cheap tip. Somehow, I doubt I will go back there.

    Once I settled down in my seat, I can tell why there are so few reviews. This place is catered to the Chinese, and specifically Mainlanders. It's not that an English speaking customer cannot enjoy themselves there at all. The menu includes English and the servers, most of whom look like international university-age students, speak English fine. The food, however, reminds me of the classic food in China. The "signature" hutu noodle come in a thicker than usual soup, giving it perhaps a heavier feel very consuming the noodle and its meat, mushroom and green vegetables cut on small bite size. You definitely need to use chopsticks and a soup spoon to fully enjoy this. Most will find the soup a bit bland, but I occasionally prefer this as this means there is less salt and probably MSG. The braised beef noodle is a typical and classic noodle with the good old pickled vegetables to add taste to the soup. The beef was tender enough and soft to the bite. The name "bing" stands for "cake", traditionally baked in a cylindrical oven - a bit like how naan is made. In many parts of China, one will still see this made and sold on the streets. I just had some in Suzhou last summer! It was so fresh. So we had to try at least one order. We went for the beef, again as a classic, to be safe. It tasted great - hot and juicy. We felt the ​service was fine. For a small place, they sure had a lot of servers. Again, all of them looked young but they did pay attention to the customers. For the price (10-15% less than other similar noodle shops), I think you can come to expect what we received that day. Food Service

    During these uncertain times, Bing and Noodles World is braving these circumstances and also supporting essential healthcare workers. At my work, we were surprised with a hot meal delivery during lunch from Bing and Noodles World. I was able to enjoy a hot and comforting meal - Minced Pork with Rice and Chili Cabbage. The minced pork had amazing flavour and was tender bits of pork that paired perfectly with the fluffy rice. These flavours were comforting home favourites of sweet and savory and the crisp, fresh cabbage with a vibrant kick of the chilis was a delicious contrast. The marinated eggs were a nice protein addition as well. I can't wait for the pandemic to pass because I would definitely love to try more of their menu in their restaurant. Until then, supporting them through take out and a big THANK YOU for supporting essential healthcare workers!

    I though I would give a very quick review as my visit was also quick. A friend and I needed a quick snack and found Bing and Noodles World close by so we decided to make a pit stop. We both ordered the beef Bing or Chinese pancake stuffed with beef and I also got the street fried pork and rice. Beef Bing was crispy on the outside and the filling was well seasoned and juicy. The street fried pork was different but good. They use schezuan peppercorns which is a nice touch. A little light on the meat portion however. Everything was good including the service. Price is average. Parking not the best. Overall a decent place for some quick food.

    This is a 5 star review for the pancake (or "Bing") alone. I'm talking about the Minced pork with preserved vegetable pancake. I spent some years of my childhood in China and pancakes with preserved vegetable filling were an all-time favourite of mine. I've revisited my hometown multiple times afterwards and was never able to find pancakes similar to my childhood favourite. But low and behold, I found it HERE. The pancake (or "Bing") is fantastic. I haven't seen any other Chinese restaurant in Vancouver that offer this specific pancake. It's super authentic, crispy, and every bite is savory. Automatic 5 stars! I also ordered the braised beef rice. The sauce is great but this is more typical of what you'd find in restaurants around here. The store is spacious and service is good, but of course, nothing beats the "Bing".

    This is a relatively new place when we visited the first time. Staff still had a lot of training to do. Many young and not knowledgeable about how to be wait staff. Food was comforting. The braised beef noodle soup was pretty good. We also had the street style fried noodles. Flavourful but a little greasy. Also tried the pancake but we felt jt was a little dry. Reasonable priced.

    We were on the way back to Richmond and didn't want to be stuck on the bridge, so we decided to stop by and eat here as it's conveniently located on Granville. We got what we expected, nice crispy pancake, wonton soup (with little tiny wontons in a seaweed broth), nicely seasoned cutlet. Decent average price. We will come back for a simple lunch/dinner.

    I'm surprised they're not getting more reviews cos their grub is really not bad! From the spicy beef tendon with cucumber appy to the preserved veggie and pork bing to the beef noodle soup they're all pretty delish. One thing I'm not too crazy about it's their metal tea mugs and wooden chopsticks, just not too sure how hygienic they are for repeated public use as they do look kinda worn out.

    Vancouver is the city where cuisines from different countries, cities and towns are introduced and celebrated. Bing and Noodles World is definitely a gem that you shouldn't miss! They specialize in Hangzhou food. You may not know what that is as there are many variations of Chinese food that is province specific in China. Starting off with their 'BING'. Bing is known as a grab and go, breakfast delight in China especially in the mornings. Each province has a different style and Hangzhou style is baking a very thin dough at a high temperatu to create an air pocket for filling. I ordered the Beef, fermented cabbage and salted egg and for dessert, the black sesame sugar mixture. Let me tell you, I absolutely LOVED IT. The savory beef, cavbage and salted egg reminded me of the steamed minced beef and salted cabbage disks my grandma use to make me when I was a little kid. It brought back many memories and as a fan of salted cabbage, I inhaled that bing faster than you can image. The black sesame one was also a favourite because I. LOVE. BLACK. SESAME. It was like a bread version of my favourite black sesame tong yuen. I appreciate seeing the grounded up black sesame and the sugar level was just right. My initial reaction was "why isn't my bing stuffed to the brim??" However, the filling stuck to the bread which made each better clean and flavour packed. According to my friend who has eaten Hangzhou cuisine quite a bit, she approved. I would definitely eat the bing in one seating as it gets hard the next day. I order their HULU signature noodle dish. People may assume that the dish is meant to be a thin broth with noodles that stretch beyond your years. Nope. wrong style of noodles we are talking here. This noodle dish is a mixture of pork stomach, chopped bok choy, chinese mushrooms, shrimp which is cooked with a wok and then glazed with a starch mixture. It is meant to keep you very full and a warm as it is a hearty meal for the cold winter days. Not everyone can appreciate such a simple dish because you have to trace back to the origin of the dish and how it plays an important role in one's daily life. I definitely recommend more white pepper or eating it with their special chilli oil. I don't know about you but I love eating organs. Seeing a dry noodle dish with LIVER made me scream hell yeah! First of all, don't freak out and actually try it. I loved how there was no gamey smell and the liver was cleaned very well. The noodles are handmade and tailored to be chewier with its shape maintained to soak up the sweet soy sauce without being a soggy mess. 11/10 would order again because I can't make liver at home and the closest thing to eating liver is either in congee or at this restaurant. The star of the whole menu might be its name: 固執的前男友 aka my STUBBORN EX BF. A mix of spicy cucumber and beef tendon, you wonder which one is the EX: the beef or cucumber ‍ Great fresh crunch from the cucumber and well marinated beef tendon. Definitely a good to start your meal as it is slightly sour so it makes you more hungry after a few bites. Overall, I would come back to try their beef noodles, other bings and of course the dry noodles with liver!

The guy in front of me, Deng, looked at me with such envy as he cut in line. This place is incredibly popular! Every time I pass by, there's a long queue. Even on rainy days, people are willing to get soaked in the rain just to have a bowl of hot tonkotsu ramen. While you're queuing, the staff will hand out menus. The ordering system is similar to Ichiran Ramen; you can choose the noodle firmness, broth consistency, spiciness, green onions, oil level, and MSG amount . The basic ramen is only $13. I added a soft-boiled egg and pickled cabbage for $2 each. Although the pickled cabbage is really expensive , I can't help it, I'm a pickled cabbage addict! The pickled cabbage paired with the rich tonkotsu broth was refreshing. The broth was flavorful but not greasy, the noodles were chewy and springy, and the portion size was just right. Overall, it's incredibly good value for money; no wonder there's always a queue. After eating, you really get that "Ah~ this is the taste of happiness" feeling

Now i love those seeds but it was way too much for my liking. Too much seeds to chew on. They also do not put any vegetables on like Hawaii does. Everything is ala carte and that adds up. I simply chose the ramen version without all the add ons. The broth was yummy but again with the loaded seeds, it made it challenging to just drink the soup. I will say, Hawaii has by far better ramen, but this place was ok too. Pricey for for what you get though.

    There was a lot of hype around this place when it first opened and i passed by it many times. I…read moredecided to check it out for dinner, mostly to check it off my list of Japanese restaurants to try. As a transit user, It's conveniently located across the street from chinatown stadium skytrain station. I like that it opens a bit later until 10pm so i can go there after an evening movie at international village a 5 minute walk away. There was basically no queue to order so i was able to order as soon as i walked into the restaurant. I told the staff i was a first time customer and asked what was the most popular dish, and they said number 5 which is the nikutama udon. It comes with sweet beef, BK sauce, and onsen eggs on top of thick udon noodles. The braised sweet beef was alright in terms of flavor and it definitely hit the spot. It's by far the best ingredient in the udon. I had never tried onsen eggs before, and I didn't really care for them. It's basically eggs that were cooked slowly at a low temperature. The texture and appearance is unusual in my opinion. i thought the nikutama udon overall was pretty good and it has unique flavors and ingredients. It's not amazing but I can understand why people love the unique BK sauce's flavors. There's not many customization options but you can get the dish served hot or cold, and you can choose to get a regular version or larger version for only $1.50 more. There's apparently a lot of hype around the BK sauce but i didn't find it that great. It has a unique combination of salty, sweet, and smoky flavors. The portion size is a little smaller than i prefer so i'd definitely get the large size. But i think most people will find the regular size just fine. I was able to eat my whole dish within 5-7 minutes and im not a person that wolfs down their meal quickly. Price-wise, the cost of their udon is fair. They are around $12-13. Slightly cheaper than other ramen places. The tempura add-ons are expensive in my opinion but I saw lots of folks buying them anyways. At the time, other ramen places like Kinton Ramen had a $15 set meal, which I thought was a better deal because it came with a special summer drink and gyoza. I wish Marugame's nikutama udon had something like this. Like adding a choice of a couple tempura and a drink for a similar price. The dining area was a little smaller than expected because half of it was closed at the time. But I was still able to find a seat at the counter where i could eat my dish. They don't use a wait staff but it's cafeteria style where you get the food at the counter and bring your dish to the table, and bring it back to the cleaning area yourself. I like that you can get your own water at a tap, napkins, utensils, and cups too instead of asking for them at the counter. The dining area was pretty clean and spacious. Overall, I give Marugame 4 stars out of 5. You should definitely check it out at least once if you are a fan of Japanese udon. Try the nikutama udon with BK sauce and see if you'll like it too.

Udon noodles were pretty good, has a nice solid texture to them. Overall bill was $50ish for 3 people. And since this is basically fast food, you don't necessarily have to tip.

As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

    We were visiting from California. We arrived on the later side of dinner. The restaurant was still…read morevery busy and full of people who appeared to be Indian/Pakistani - always a good sign. They have a big tv above the bar and above the entrance that was showing the hockey game. It's a small storefront entrance on a busy street but you couldn't hear the street noise. The food was AMAZING. We got the goat biryani, chicken tikka masala, samosas, garlic naan, mango lassi and a hot chai. Big delicious portions of everything. The service was ok, they were busy and potentially less attentive than usual. Anyway, would definitely go back again.

    First there is no mistaking this for a high end restaurant as another review recorded. This is a…read moresolid Nepalese joint. However it is not focused and instead provides a little bit of the region for everyone (Nepal, China, India, Pakistani influences). Came in for lunch on a weekday. Quickly seated and tended to by the staff. Interior is more of a diner scene than nice cafe. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean but not nice. Here's my three things: 1) I got a lunch special featuring fish peckora, and tandoor chicken. Good flavor but missed on the real spice flavors. Veg salad was sour and worked with the rest of the plate. 2) These folks can make some NAAN! The Naan stole the show. Sweet, salty and crisp. 3) Price wise you can fill up and have a drink for $25-30CAN.

    This is a small little hole in the wall restaurant serving up some traditional Taiwanese dishes. We…read morecame on a weekday afternoon right before the busy lunch hour - it was packed 30 min after we arrived! The gentleman (owner?) greeted us and provided us with some suggestions on their best sellers. During our dining experience, he was a little loud with shouting instructions to the kitchen and we did feel a bit rushed to finish our meal and not occupy the table with diners lining up. I ordered the beef noodle soup, and the noodles were prepared well (good texture and not soggy) and the soup had a slight but not overwhelm sour taste from the preserved vegetables. The beef wasn't as tender as it could be, but it wasn't chewy or tough to eat. Prices are reasonable at around $20 after tax and tips. While it wasn't the best or most authentic beef noodle soup I've had, it does hit the spot if I'm craving Taiwanese food downtown or want a hot bowl of noodle soup on a cold day.

    A small self served Taiwanese eatery. I come here when Ramen Gojiro next door is too crowded and I…read moredo not want to wait. I think most people do that so it also gets filled up during the lunch hour rush. The food is ok, nothing special. The price increase makes it even less appealing. I don't know why there is chili in my Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I don't like spicy soup. Lucky I am ok with spice but I wish it is stated in the menu? So if you cannot take spicy food, check with them before ordering. The beef noodle soup is tasty as I do like the addition of pickled vegetables in it, giving a bit of tartness. The beef is tender though the quantity is very little. More noodles than meat ratio. The combo is totally not worth it now that the price has gone up to about $13. If you want rice and noodle for lunch, I think Peaceful Restaurant across the street is a better bet. At least the portion is bigger.

Bun Bo Hue (Small $16.19) - super spicy, but that's fine since I enjoy spicy foods. The issue was that the broth was quite bland, and the spiciness wasn't enough to make up for it. Usually, this soup base has a lot of depth and flavour from broth that's been simmering for a long time to extract those flavours, but this was probably one of the worst ones I've tried. Decent portion of meat, at least 3-4 large slices of Vietnamese ham and goor amount of beef slices. The noodles were SUPER undercooked! Good portion of bean sprouts, and came with 1 wedge of lime. Beef Brisket and Beef Ball in Noodle Soup (Large $17.62) - again, VERY bland broth. The noodles also tasted sort of like freezer burn? Decent portion of meat and filling enough. Just had to douse in Siracha and oyster sauce to finish the bowl though... Pork Spring Rolls ($10.48) - flavour was decent, nothing special. Deep fried okay as well. No complaints here but no endorsement either. There's no music in the restaurant either so it's a tad awkward. Staff are friendly. Lots of seating, including a patio area.
