There's also lots of street parking nearby. It does get pretty rowdy and loud around 7pm - and a bit warm during the summer. We ordered: Cucumber Salad ($11) Snap n Tonic ($7) Love you oolong time ($7) Chili Wontons ($13) Siu Mai ($13) Black Pepper Beef Noodles ($26) Sesame Balls ($12) The highlights were the Love you oolong time (almost like boba? texture is incredible!), the Siu Mai (the truffle, yum!), and the Chili Wontons (the sauce is so good I ended up putting it on my beef noodles). The beef noodles and cucumber salad were also good but not standouts. Maybe will try to the truffle rice next time - which is also pretty popular. I personally wasn't a fan of the raspberry tartness on the sesame balls.

This was my first time at this Heritage Asian Eatery location. I had visited the one on Broadway a…read morefew times (before it closed permanently), and had mixed experiences there. I thought this location would be similar but it is quite difference. This is a full service restaurants, where the Broadway location was more of quicker counter-service operation. This space is much more elevated, with the bar dominating the centre space. We tried the following: - Cucumber: Good. Simple, crisp and refreshing. - Squid: Very good. Salted egg yolk gave great flavour, texture was just right. Very thick pieces. - Mushrooms (Seasonal Vegetable): Very good. Just the right spice level, and loads of umami. - Beef Noodles: Good. Wagyu beef is the highlight as it's so tender and coated with a delicious black pepper sauce. Felt they could've provided more noodles given the price. - Heritage Fried Rice: Very good. Pretty close to traditional, and good wok-hei. - Sablefish: Good. Quite a traditional dish on top of silken tofu. All the flavours were right, but felt the sablefish was overcooked as it was quite still stiff. Service was very attentive and interactive. Fine-dining level service where they describe the dish as they present it to the table. Overall, a good experience. A mix of traditional and modern flavours and recipes, that all generally work. Yes, it's more expensive than a regular Chinese restaurant, so you're paying for the ambiance, the innovation and service. I'd consider returning.

I ordered the mixed mushrooms with glass noodles from the main dishes menu (one of the few vegetarian options available). It's a simple stir-fry--fragrant garlic, mushrooms, and silky glass noodles. Nothing overly complicated, but comforting and satisfying in its own way. At first, it feels quite understated, almost plain-looking, but it grows on you with every bite. The little chilli sauce on the side is what really elevates everything. A bold mix of green chilli, garlic, ginger, and lime juice--it completely wakes up the dish and turns each bite into something bright and punchy. It honestly made me realize how much I miss ginger in everyday cooking. The stir-fry is a bit oily, but it seems intentional, helping keep the glass noodles from clumping and giving them that smooth, glossy texture. My only wish is that there were more plant-based options on the menu--because the space and flavours here really deserve a stronger vegetarian selection.

The wontons were also well seasoned and fragrant in the chilli sauce. The beef noodle soup, however, wasn't so good. The beef was tough and had a red band in the exterior and grey in the center. We think it may be due to improper thawing or freezing. The ambiance was very average. It's basically a lunch room where you ordered at the front and got your utensil and sat down at any available table. So needless to say there was very little service from the workers. Not necessarily bad, just a different style of restaurant. Overall the value is great, if you're looking for a cheap fill up with authentic flavours I would hit this place up. Each dish is very reasonably priced and pretty delicious (except for our beef).

The sauce was nice and mild with the real star being the soft, chewy, packed dumpling. Loved the crispy shallots as well! I got the Tofu French Dip (Spicy pickled carrots, kimchi mayo, cilantro, jalapeno, pho chay). This came with their crispy shoe string fries which were perfectly hot and salty. This dish was delicious. I would like to have more of the pickled veg but otherwise, this dish was so unique and rich. I could drink that broth. We also got the Margherita (Mozzarella, tomato sauce, pesto, fresh basil). This was perfect. The crust is cracker thin. The pesto was so perfectly garlicky and so bright! Loved this pizza and so thankful to have left overs! Service was quick and great! Prices are also reasonable! Defiantly recommend!

They are quite big so it's a generous portions, maybe better for people who like a bigger meals. Everything is great to share. Service is good.

This place had an interesting concept, combining a biang biang noodle spot with a mart mostly filled with drinks and candies--a mix of Japanese and Chinese products. The place was clean, and the staff was very smiley and welcoming. If you're eating there, they take your order directly from the table. Overall, 3.75/5 for food and 4.5/5 for cleanliness. I ordered the cumin lamb traditional Chinese burger. I'd recommend using less--or no--fresh vegetables, especially peppers, in it, as they make it feel like something else. The bread was also a bit soggy and could have used a little more toasting. I also ordered the crispy burger with beef and cheese. On that one, the bun was delicious, but it could have used a bit more meat. The biang biang noodles and cold noodles were great--you can tell they hand-make them fresh. The pork and chive dumplings also had a good skin, although the filling was a bit chive-heavy for me.

A friendly front desk staff greeted us and took us to our seat by the window. Despite not having a reservation, we were surprised that we managed to get a good seat. The menu was large and varied, there were so many items that it took some time for us to decide. Finally, we picked Potato Cakes for the appetizer. For the main dish, my friend ordered Stone Pot Unagi on Rice and I chose Flying Ramen Takoyaki. A few minutes later, our orders came to our table, hot and fresh. The potato cakes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The portion size of our main dishes was generous. However, they leaned more on the North American flavours instead of Japanese- they were quite salty and we had to drink a lot of water. My friend said that for her bowl, there was too much rice and not enough unagi. For my dish, there was a lot of fried noodles and sauce, but not enough vegetables to balance the saltiness. It was still fun to try a different take on Japanese food. For next time, we decided that we would order a drink and smaller items to share. If you are in the area, come and check this place out!
