What a lovely, casual, homey (in a good way) dining experience! Hubby and I stopped in for a quick bite, thanks to the recommendations of other Yelp reviewers, on our way to the Showboat (it's about a 15 minute walk). The owner, Colin Lo, greeted us and made us feel quite welcome. You order by filling out a little slip of paper indicating what kind of noodle, meat, and vegetables you want (one paper for each person). Colin then makes what you order and delivers it to your table. No one standing at the door showing you a menu and making you feel guilty if you don't come in, no fancy crystal wine glasses, no table cloths, no waiters dressed as penguins, no background music. Just a nice guy whose been doing this for decades in the same place, good, fresh, wholesome food, and good value for money. Pro tip: the portion size is good but not huge, so if you like to eat a lot, order extra noodles ($1.50 extra). read more

This tiny 'hole in the wall' restaurant is very simple yet their food is delicious. They have an easy system that makes total sense and covers all types if diets; from Paleolithic, Keto, Vegetarian, Vegan, Peskatarian, to Omnivor. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portion are very generous. When the proprietor knows the patrons by name and there is singing and laughter coming from the kitchen area, you know you are in for a treat. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. 100% ! read more

I hesitate to write a review about my favourite noodle soup in Vancouver only because there are only 3 tables and I am not even sure if the owner even wants anymore business. His broth is vegetarian and delicious. You choose what vegetables you want, choose all, pick which noodle and if you want any add on like wonton, chicken dumpling, tofu etc. . Oh and if you need any tailoring his wife has a shop next door. read more

Accommodating. We walked in 10 min before closing with a need for some noodle soup after hanging out at Spanish Banks for the sunset and they obliged us with a takeout order. The place isn't big but has a homey kitchen and a few tables inside. The soup was piping hot (yes!) and the order process was straight-forward. Choose noodle type, all veggies or just some, plus your protein or seafood. Price wise isn't the cheapest when adding eat protein, shrimp, etc other than veggies is an added 3-5$ but it was good. Broth was flavorful and felt homemade. The pork wonton was my favorite over the lean roasted pork. It didn't blow my socks off but I would definitely order here again. read more

Super comforting and simple food, done perfectly. The vegetables were nicely cooked just enough for their flavours to really come through. The owners were very kind and caring and the whole experience felt like a home-cooked meal. We were talking a lot after a long day but everyone got quiet when our food came, which is pretty impressive for us! read more

We were initially planning to go to a Thai restaurant nearby but it was closed for their "lunch break" and wasn't opening for an hour. Hubby and I were hangry already so we checked Yelp for a recommendation nearby. We were glad that this was close-by and that they offer healthy food since the hubby was watching his food intake at the moment. The place looks family-run and they were very accommodating and warm. They knew it was our first time there so the lady explained to us how ordering works. They provide an order sheet per person and you tick the boxes of the vegetables, noodle type and meat/seafood/dumplings you would like in your noodle bowl. The hubby ordered his noodle bowl with their chicken dumplings and he loved it! We actually bought a bag of frozen chicken dumplings to bring home (20 pieces for $8.00) and the owner taught me how to cook it at home. My bowl was comprised of my chosen veggies and prawns and I added a bit of their homemade chilli for a bit of a kick. It was a great meal that felt healthy and suitable for the chilly weather outside. read more

"This place is great, I go there with my family all the time. When I visit my grandparents in Vancouver the first thing we do is go there, choose our favourite toppings, and eat. Then we go hang out with my grandparents." - my 9 year old daughter read more

Pure comfort food last night! And not only delicious but no MSG just great flavor and great friendly service with boss man Colin. With my bowl of noodles and chicken dumplings my wife and I felt like we enjoyed a happy meal at home. We will be back! read more

The food here is great but the vibe and service is what you come here for. Colin is there to help you with everything you need and provides more than quality and personal service for each table. The restaurant itself is a little small, so make sure you plan in advance if you visit during a busy day/peak hour. Cannot recommend the house-made chili paste enough! read more

This is like my Mom's kitchen! Healthy noodles, fresh vegetables, no MSG! Friendly owner chef, who treats you like his family members, what more can you ask for?? Only the cost of $10.00+!! Anytime when I am in Kitsilano, around Macdonald and West 4th, I will go and have a big bowl of buck wheat noodle soup with chicken and if lucky, if Colin is not very busy, we will enjoy an afternoon with friendly, enlightening conversations! I would highly recommend this place! read more

Healthy Noodle House - a man eating a bowl of soup - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Definition of a great hole-in-the-wall..... Was visiting from the States with a friend, who had come here before and highly recommended it. Now I know why. Management - I believe this place is owned and operated by an older asian couple. The owner was very welcoming and personable. You can tell he is very well-liked by the several customers who dropped by just to sit and chat with him. Also, his wife runs the tailor shop right next door where he sometimes helps out at (in case you had some clothes to alter). Ordering/Food - On a piece of paper provided at the table you simply mark the ingredients you want in your bowl and give it to the them. The noodles and broth had the perfect amount of flavor and you can really taste the heartiness. Everything is fresh - they hand cut/boil/prepare everything right as you order. Also, like a previous Yelper mentioned, they are very generous with their veggies. Note: Cash only...and for those visiting from the US, they take US dollars! A small bowl is about $8?....not more than $10. read more

This place has perfected the simplicity. The menu is very simple: pick your veggies (or all veggies) and pick your noodle. You can add proteins (dumplings, BBQ pork, etc) for additional charge. Although it is simple, the broth is super tasty and the veggies are cooked perfectly. It's so nice to have a variety of veggies in a bowl of noodles. In many noodle restaurants, if you can get one or two pieces of vegetable, you are lucky. The noodles are nothing special, but I would eat the broth and the vegetables over and over again. The owner is very friendly. He said this is his retirement restaurant. It's a little cozy place, so I can see how it gets really busy during lunch or dinner. read more

Cute homestyle restaurant with friendly owners. I have been here twice now and I had a rice noodle soup with salmon and mixed vegetables. You pick what type of noodle you want, your choice of meat (or tofu for vegetarians), and vegetables. It's under $10 for pretty much anything and it's CASH ONLY! If you're health conscious or want to try new local food I definitely recommend it here. read more

Healthy Noodle House - Salmon, rice noodles and mixed vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Come here for a piping hot bowl of pure honest goodness. For just $8.75, you get a bowl of crunchy, fresh vegetables (feel free to select "All Vegetables" and you get like 12 types!) with a serving of your choice of noodles. I love the buckwheat noodles, by the way. Add a protein topping for an additional $2.25. I adore the chicken dumplings, and always get them after a good run at Kits Beach or a yoga sesh. Don't be fooled by how simple the dish looks - Colin (the owner and cook) puts a lot of heart into each bowl of soup he serves. From the way the vegetables are cut to the done-ness of the noodles (they are always cooked perfectly), the highlight is still the broth. It looks really simple, but I actually find it quite complex. I'm gonna say it right here - I'm a broth girl. I know what good broth is. Healthy Noodle House makes good broth. I grew up drinking soup my whole life (I'm Cantonese and my grandma always says we make the best soups). Colin says it's just a "simple broth made with vegetables", but I know it's not something you can easily replicate at home because you'd probably need a ton of those + mushroom stalks + great control of heat when making soups. It's not easy to be able to extract all the flavors out from well, just vegetables. The final touch of a soy-sesame-oil drizzle with a sprinkle of white sesame seeds elevates the dish even more. Again, come here for a bowl of healthy soup noodles (I do it at least twice a week). Opt for buckwheat noodles for a low-calorie option. Add the chicken dumplings for protein. Add the house-made hot sauce into the soup for some extra kick. read more

This soup was so healthy and delicious. You can choose whatever noodles you want and whatever veggies you want. The owner is a lovely gentlemen when is very kind with smiling eyes. The veggies were all so fresh tasting and the homemade hot sauce was delicious. I added pork wontons and they tasted really fresh and soft. 10/10 experience you must try it! Simple and delicious read more

The taste of the soup is amazing. It's a simple place with affordable but great dishes!

So good!! Finally found a vegetarian gluten free noodle soup to replace pho. Fresh vegetables cooked perfectly, clean broth, great taste of sesame, and choice of noodles. Couple that runs it are lovely too. Definitely will be back! read more

An unbelievably good find! Myself and my partner spend a lot of time and money on ramen, pho, and whatever brothy noodle dishes we can find around Vancouver. Healthy Noodle House is perfect. The person behind the counter, the owner, is very friendly, kind, and cooks up deliciously clean, fresh, and tasty broth with your choice of veggies, meat, and protein. He cooks everything right there in plain sight, and he has created a simple, comfortable, cozy setting. It's our new favourite spot and I highly recommend you try it out! read more

Love the noodle soups here. Super tasty and the service is amazing. The guy who owns the place is so kind! Whenever I need a warm pick me up I head there. Favorite spot in kits read more

I love this restaurant. The owner, Colin, is so friendly and well-mannered, he really does make you feel like he's welcoming you into his home. As other reviewers have noted, the menu is very simple, with a vegetable broth as the default base, and your choice of noodle, vegetables, and additional toppings (tofu, chicken dumpling, pork wonton, barbecue pork). The soup is very soothing and I like that they give you a generous portion of vegetables. The restaurant is also stocked with Colin's homemade chili paste, which is a delicious addition to the meal. The prices are extremely reasonable and the broth, dumplings, wontons and chili paste can all be purchased to take home. When you are paying at the cash, there is always a jar of individually-wrapped dark chocolates, which definitely beats the standard mint candy most restaurants serve. There is no place I would rather go on a rainy day or when I find myself catching a bit of a cold. Truly lovely. read more

It's not exactly a restaurant, more like a fast food for healthy noodle soup. You can pick the toppings (some are extra). Always the same broth (vegan) but you can choose the type of noodles you want. I get rice noodles. The owner operates this place all by himself, very friendly and nice. No msg. The serving is not very big so if you are really hungry you might be able to eat two bowls. But if you are in the area looking for something healthy, safe and easy on your stomach, I recommend this place. This place has been surviving at this location for a very long time with local customers. read more

Yum! Such beautiful, light, clear broth, so fresh veggies, made to order noodles in soup with veggies, dumplings, tofu, house made BBQ pork. A tiny spot that did not have a line up at noon on Sun morning (but it should!). read more

Simple and fresh and good. Fill out a little sheet and get exactly what you wanted. Vegan broth with options for different sorts of noodles and vegetables, and homemade hot sauce on the side. Wish this place was 24/7. read more

Went there for dinner on a suggestion from a friend who knows how much I like noodle soup. Loved that the name of the restaurant tells you exactly what's on the menu - healthy noodle soup, that's it. You can customize it, by filling out a tiny form and checking off the vegetables and the meat you want, and you'll get a bowl of the steaming noodle soup, freshly prepared, with very fresh ingredients. That said, all of the soups on the menu taste the same, because they're made with the same stock - I would have liked for some variation in terms of the flavors. My friend had ordered the chicken dumpling soup, and I'd ordered the BBQ pork, but they both tasted exactly the same. Service is friendly, and Colin, the owner (and also apparently the only person working there) told me how he's been running this shop for 12 years! I liked that they have this home-style kitchen set-up, nothing too fancy :) In the end, we also bought a pack of their frozen wontons to take home and experiment with! Pro Tip: I don't know if it's a recent/temporary change, but when we visited the place, they would only accept cash. PS. It's actually 3.5 stars, because the wontons we brought back home weren't so great. read more

The name says it all. Excellent pho type soup. I usually get chicken. The most friendly service in kits! Try the homemade hot sauce. read more

My family and I were visiting from out of town and were looking for some vegetable options to eat and found this place on yelp. It was really great; the vegetables were really fresh, the broth was really good and I got chicken which was very lean!! Everything was great and will definitely come back whenever we're in Vancouver again!! Additionally, the owner and his wife were very helpful and kind! Also, in the background peaceful music was playing, which was really nice and calming! Also, make sure to bring cash as they only take either Canadian dollars or American dollars; no credit cards accepted. read more

This place simply amazes me every single visit My favourite parts are their fabulous broth, great homemade hot sauce and most importantly the owner, Colin. Sometime I don't feel like eating noodle so I order soup and veggies without noodles! Colin often put extra veggies instead of noodle which I appreciate a lot because I don't have time to cook for myself now and it's so hard to eat healthy. I highly recommend this place:) read more

Love this place! Very affordable, quick service and always tasty. It's an uncomplicated joint - it is what it says it is, noodle soup. You choose what you want to add from a wide variety of fresh veggies and meats as well as dumplings (which are super good). Great for lunch or a light dinner. The owner and his wife are so friendly and helpful. A true gem in the neighbourhood :) read more

Low-key place, nothing fancy, and exactly what I wanted! Noodles hit the spot. Food was wholesome, hearty and healthy and the prices were really affordable. I appreciated that I could customize my noodles, veggie and protein. The owner was also really nice. I look forward to visiting this place more to support everything it has going for it! read more

Excellent broth. Fast service. Clean and there was amazing classical music. I got the BBQ pork and my wife had the vegetarian bowl. Everything was fresh and gorgeous. The place is tiny so don't come at lunch rush! read more

I love this place so much. Vegetarian soup that is actually vegetarian, super tasty broth, the most amazing homemade hot sauce, and a super cute and sweet family running the place. I used to come here almost every day when I worked nearby, and I miss it constantly! read more

Noodles to warm your heart. Do yourself a favor and skip the lineups at Naam. While I like Naam, this little noodle house also deserves a tasting. Behind the counter awaits a jolly ol' Chinese man who is as passionate about his healthy home cooked noodles as he is serving it to you. A wide selection of noodles are available, including a wide assortment of veggies and sauce you get to mix and match; all of which are prepared fresh and daily, to suit exactly your taste. If you want some meat, they have various accompaniments of home prepared won tons; none of the mass commercial stuff you buy at supermarkets. In taste, presentation and style, there is no doubt about it that it is quite simple. Yet it is also elegant and beautiful in a zen-like way...just exactly what the heart and soul needs on a rainy Vancouver day. I'll definitely be back at this little gem of a place. read more

Food: Simple, delicious, unpretentious, and healthy! Menu has one category of food. Noodles with soup! Every bowl is made to order just as you like it. You can choose from noodle types, protein types, and a list of veggies. The proprietor is super nice, and so is the store. Bright and clean, you get to focus on your soup. I highly recommend trying his homemade chili garlic sauce which is on each table in a jar. Test a tiny bit on your dish and I'm sure you'll like it. The soba noodles are also tasty! Note to self: Cash only! I always forget. read more

Dare I say this is one of the best kep secrets of Kitsilano? This little Noodle House has a cozy atmosphere and the owners are lovely people.
