Looks like about 12 tables of varying sizes. The staff are very friendly. They helped us pick items that can be made peanut free. The noodles definitely had great chew and bounce.

There's really not much room in the restaurant to wait, so most people were waiting outside. Luckily the weather was so pleasant. The restaurant is on the smaller side. Once we were seated, our order was taken promptly and the food came out pretty quickly. We got the signature wanza noodles, stir fried noodles with chicken, pork belly skewers and cucumber salad. The stand out dishes for me were the wanza noodles and pork belly skewers. I made sure to get the noodles with less spice which was the right choice for me. It still had some heat to it but it didn't overpower the dish. I liked the seasoning on the pork belly skewers - very flavourful and yummy. Service was efficient. I will definitely return and try some of their other menu items.

Toronto Review 4/Many: I went to this excellent Lanzhou spot with another person as one of my…read moreearlier meals. Our server, Sophia, was bubbly and friendly, giving suggestions and helping with the ordering process for the other person who wasn't as sure what they wanted. We eventually went with two appetizers and two entrees, which was more than enough food, and honestly, we could have only ordered one appetizer. The better of the two appetizers was the CAD 8.95 Hand Shredded Pepper Chicken/手撕椒麻雞/Shou Si Ji. The dish consists of cold chicken in a flavorful sauce, topped with some greens. The chicken was tender, with a mild, pleasant spice and a bit of numbingness from the Sichuan peppercorns, along with some fragrance, presumably from sesame oil. It reminded me a bit of salivating chicken you find in some Szechuan spots, but it was more aromatic and a bit less spicy. The other appetizer was the Steamed Edamame/岩鹽毛豆 with Himalayan pink salt for CAD 5.95. The other person chose between this and the vegetable dumplings, as he avoids pork, and it was, of course, lighter than the other appetizer. The decent portion of edamame was topped with some pickled carrots as a garnish. My main dish was the Braised Beef Noodles/紅燒牛肉面/Hong Shao Niu Rou Mian. The dish included several options, including size, noodle style, and spice level. I chose the large for CAD $20.95, medium spice, and for the noodle style, I chose flat/宽面, as it was closest to the prism style I like at Lanzhou spots in the States. Along with these, I also added a tea egg for an extra CAD 2.95. Outside the add-on, the dish also had a couple of large slices of radish. Compared to some spots in NYC, I slightly preferred the QQ/bouncy texture of the noodles at a spot near me. However, the broth was better here with a balanced amount of mala, though I would likely order spicy next time, as I tend to add chili oil to the relatively lighter Lanzhou broths. The beef was also much better, being tender with a mild chew regardless of whether it was tendon or other cuts. The tea egg was flavorful and worth the add-on, especially when the inside was dipped further into the broth. I can see why others order this. The other person went with the Signature Stir-fried Noodles/招牌炒面/Chao Tatiaozi. There was an option of protein, and he went with Chicken for $17.95 and added the same egg. I tried a bit, and there was a pleasant pepperiness with a bit of numbing flavor, but less than my dish. The noodles had a good bounciness and overall had a slightly better chewiness than mine. This was lighter overall, but also tasty. This spot has apparently come to the US already at the Mall of America, and I would love it if there were a location closer to me. Good place.

We saw this place on Instagram and decided to come try it. It's located inside a plaza with many…read moreother restaurants and finding parking was a breeze. The inside is very small and cozy. Service was very friendly and phenomenal. We ordered 2 of their Kalguksu Combo's which came with a choice of meat, rice, side dishes, kimchi, and a bowl of hand pulled noodles. We went with their jaeyuk and bossam. We also ordered their mandu since we heard good things about it. I LOVED their kimchi. It was so flavorful and fresh. The side dishes were just alright. Nothing too special. I didn't really like the Jaeyuk, the flavor is there but the meat just isn't tender. But I've never had tender Jaeyuk or Bulgolgi so maybe that is just how it is. The bossam on the other hand was really delicious, tender and soft. I highly recommend it. The kalguksu was great as well. The soup was hearty and the noodles themselves were so soft with a nice chew to it. The mandu was also really good. They were so large and plump and the wrapper was so thin. This place is amazing for the price! At about $23-24 for each combo, it comes with a ton of food. And their gigantic mandu was only $13.5 for 6. Their Kimchi and Kalguksu was definitely the highlight for me and is comparable to the ones I've had in Seoul. I would definitely come back again. Also if paying by cash, it's 10% off.

We ordered the meat kalguksu, a round of dumplings and my SO ordered the kalguksu set with bulgogi. Everything was really delicious. I would say the quality of the food isn't as high as another joint nearby with the similar cuisine, but at the sametime, they more than make up for it with the large portions and lower prices and the service was great. Definitely some place we will revisit again in the future. Especially love their banchan they serve and the generous bowl of kimchi, enough for our party of 4 without us needing to ask for seconds. By the way the banchan with cabbage turns out to be the sauce for the dumplings too, which was a nice touch. Ambiance is casual and there isn't too much seating and so I feel it's a bit tight as we got the corner seats. Not really anywhere to set a purse, so definitely dress casually to avoid getting splatter from your food and bag if you tend be a messy eater like me.

The braised Five-Spice beef was meltingly soft, zero fatty pieces and the broth and noodles were perfect (not salty, BONUS). Two sides of black fungus and Taiwanese kimchi came together well, washed down with a wintermelon drink. Spouse took the popcorn chicken to be air fried at home for later. Prices here are very fair and reasonable. If they increased the Five Spice levels just a little, it would taste like real Taiwanese beef and noodles.

Bomb noodles. We will be back…read more My fiancée and I love spicy food. We also love noodles. So guess what we got at Noodle Legend - the Feast Seafood Noodles Topped with Spicy Oil! The dish comes with a thick flat super chewy ribbon noodle. It doesn't look like a big portion, but the noodles never seem to end! We particularly loved the aromatic garlicy spicy oil, which was full of umami and slightly sweet. It coated the noodles perfectly without making it seem like a noodle soup. The spice doesn't hit you at first, but sure enough it comes back with a vengeance. Be cautious if you decide to up the spice levels! It comes with quite a bit of seafood - scallops, baby abalone and crawfish tails. We've never really had crawfish tails in Chinese cuisine, so this was quite interesting. Make sure to suck on the tail before you de-shell to really get all the umami, and then dip the tail back into the spicy oil for a burst of flavour. Surprisingly, the chewy texture of the seafood complemented the noodles really well. Customer service here is impeccable. We saw nearby tables with phone holders, which we suspect you can request if you want to eat and watch your videos in peace. The staff also hand out individually packaged plastic bibs and gloves to avoid the oil from slashing onto your clothes and will top up your napkin supply without asking. The restaurant has a couple of tables but noticeably, some long benches that run throughout. We were sat in the middle, and were asked kindly by the Owner to move to the end of the table once a bigger party arrived. We had no issues with this, but the Owner decided to give us free pop and apologized for the inconvenience. So nice! Little surprise - there's a Beef Noodle Special after 8:30pm on Monday-Thursday.

On a snowy day, I was looking for warm noodle soup place and decided to try their takeout given we can't find any parking spot nearby. We tried their beef braised noodles and the lamb skewers. Both were awesome and they timed your pickup time pretty well. The noodle was tasty, and the beef was super soft and flavourful which hit my every expectation on this dish. The lamb skewers ($9.99 for 4) were marinated very well, with perfect flavouring. It brought back a lot of childhood memories immediately. This is definitely my No. 1 go-to place for lamb skewers in future! Overall, I was very satisfied with the two dishes I've tried and they were having great value for money too. The chef is clearly having solid cooking fundamentals in Northwestern Chinese streed food. I strongly recommend this restaurant and will definitely revisit to try other dishes in future.

It's been over 6 months since I last came here but I decided to come since they were celebrating…read moretheir 5 year anniversary and was offering BOGO for their noodle dishes. The inside is still very modern and sleek. However, the seating is still really uncomfortable since they are still using those hard wooden seats with no back support. The restaurant is also really cramped and tight. Unfortunately, we had to wait over 30 minutes for seating because most of their tables are two-top tables. And we came with 4 people. We ordered their Beef Tendon Noodle, traditional hand pulled beef noodle, stir fried tomato beef noodle, and their Chicken Chow Mein. As for appetizers, we got their bbq traditional chicken wings, BBQ pork belly, and their teppan squid. This time, I thought everything tasted really good. Last time, my complaint was that the hand pulled noodles were way too soft and overcooked. But this time, I asked for a thicker noodle and it came out perfect. It had a nice chew to it and wasn't overcooked. But the stand out for me was actually their stir fried tomato beef noodle and their chicken chow mein. I vastly prefer these two compared to their beef soup noodles. It just has a stronger flavor profile that suits my taste buds more. As for the appetizers, skip the chicken wings. It was $8 for 4 tiny pieces and It's just not worth it. The Teppan Squid and their BBQ pork belly were both AMAZING. It is really strong and flavorful so I would only recommend them if you like strong bold flavors with a bit of spicy kick. Overall, this time I really enjoyed my meal and we got 2 free noodle dishes! I do think the prices are reasonable for the location they are in. They also still charge 2.4% for using your credit card which is quite disappointing.
