Good place for noodles. It's worth the lineup and wait. It's one of my frequented locations for food. I personally enjoy their pork bone noodle soup, the broth is really good. And best part is they are open 24 hours! read more

Since I usually get off work late, I get pretty hungry and most places close before so I don't get much choices as to what I can consume to satiate my hunger. Heard from a friend that there was this awesome 24/7 noodle place called magic noodle and from his tone of voice, it was an awesome place to go to. Tonight I decided to go and was pretty satisfied. Ordered a large beef brisket hand pulled noodles (for only 8.99) which was super delicious and had a good consistency. What I didn't like however was their pork liver with soy sauce. It was super super dry to the place into where I had to take an immediate drink of water after each bite. Other than that this place is very nice! Will definitely come back to try out their other noodle dishes! read more

Magic Noodle - Beef brisket noodles (with some tendon which isn't mentioned in the menu but shhhhh) - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

See all

This place is definitely the place to go for a bowl of delicious noodles. From its taste to its texture the noodle is flawless. What I didn't like about the bowl was the meet inside; I remember getting their house special, and the pork chop inside is very salty and tasted like old meat... I thought it was a very bad combination with the noodles. read more

I've been here several times and has the braised pork bone noodle soup and beef rib soup. The broth is a bit too salty for the braised pork noodle soup and they don't put enough meat regardless of what dish you order. I felt shortchanged considering the price. However I come because the noodles are delicious! read more

Was just here. I ordered the hand cut noodle with pork belly, 2 sides and boiled egg. Noodles were tasty up to the point that I had asked for more soup - assuming they would just charge me for the extra soup. Waitress was nice to ask me which base (beer, pork, chicken). I said any is fine. It came back filled to the top with hot water! Could have suggested for me not to add it or just fill it with the damn broth! Noodle soup ended up tasteless. I'm a cook/chef myself so I do know the difference. Horrible practice. read more

Prices were pricey for a tiny bowel of noodles, service takes forever during full house. All staff assume you speak Mandarin. Only thing they have going is that good place to eat for late night snack. Otherwise, this place is meh. read more

Was left a bit dissapointed. I wanted so much to enjoy this place due to raving testimonial reviews heard from friends. However, I was not impressed by what was offered. Dinner for two we ordered, 1 sm intestine hand pulled noodle, 1 lg pork sliced noodle, a serving of beef and tripe in chili sauce and 1 lamb skewer. To start off, yes that was quite a lot of food and I was thankful my dinner partner put his foot down on limiting my order, as if left on my own device, I would've ordered without consideration. The cold side dish was the first to arrive at the table, the price was reasonable but the portion was a bit small (seemed like the theme of this restaurant on the protein portions). I loved the taste of the cold dish, the sauce was deliciously balanced between savoury, sweet and spicy...just wished we got a bit more. The two noodles followed soon after. Right off the bat, the lack of protein was noted. The amount of noodle ratio to meat was ridiculous. When you have a big bowl of noodle that lack veggie and meat then you are pretty much left with the noodle to bear the burden of being the star of the dish. Unfortunately, I did not feel that the noodle here can bear that burden. The noodle was nice in the first few bites and quickly became boring to eat. I actually felt full from sheer boredom...could not eat anymore, not because of fullness, but from the noodle just becoming tedious and lackluster. The pull noodle was what I took issue with most. It was heavy and became overly starchy as the broth cooled. The broth and intestines were flavourful but the bowl itself lacked dimension and that wow factor. One the other hand the sliced noodle faired a bit better in scale but presented with the same issues on a lesser scale. The soy based sauce failed to impress (unlike the sauce found in the cold dish). The lamb skewer was prepared well but the seasoning and spicy left an unpleasant after taste that had to be washed of in our broth. Overall, the noodle did not shine and the ratio was not impressive by any means. I don't think I would ever go out of my way to come here, but wouldn't too strongly oppose to coming back, if the opportunity presented itself. read more

Ordered two braised beef brisket hand shaved noodles takeout. They made both wrong with no season in the soup. It tasted like water.

I was first introduced to Magic Noodle by the boyfriend who asked if I'd be interested because he knows I'm all about those carbs and I love noodles. We went here for a late lunch and there was a line up outside the door and it was packed! We waited less than 5 minutes and was seated right away, thank goodness cause I was starved. The inside of the restaurant was obviously very congested with customers but in the back was an open-concept kitchen where you could see the chefs hand-pulling the fresh noodles. I was so excited to try it and I ended up getting their Hand-Pulled Noodle with Braised Beef Brisket. I was not disappointed at all. The broth was delicious, the beef brisket was tender, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this specific dish to anyone who likes beef brisket. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was their room temperature lemon water that they serve. Yuck! The service was mediocre for a very busy restaurant and they obviously want you in and out as quick as possible, so if you're looking for a quick bite to eat, come visit Magic Noodle.. They're Magically Delicious! read more

The noodles itself was great. The noodles are all hand pulled and fresh. You can actually see and hear the chefs making the noodles in the restaurant. You'll occasionally hear a loud whomp inside the kitchen which is the chef smacking the flour onto their table while making the noodles. On this occasion, I ordered the beef with their clear broth. The beef was thinly sliced and the broth was nice and hot. The noodles was cooked just right. It was very tasty and it's definitely a noodle joint. I also ordered panned fried onion cakes and a lamb skewer. The onion cake was so-so and a little soggy if you ask me. The lamb skewer was spiced very nicely with a kick and tasted just fine. However next time I come here, I would only order a bowl of noodle...it's what it's known for. Oh and the place was packed at 2pm on a weekday. It's not a very big place but I was surprised to see it so busy. People kept coming in non-stop. read more

This place was packed when I went on a Monday afternoon. I got the house special noodles and the noodles were very fresh. You can see the chef making noodles fresh from the dough. My only complaint is that the sound echos through the entire restaurant every time the chef slams the dough. read more

i go there a lot and i always have the traditional beef noodle (the one on the first page) i've never tried anything else yet but that traditional noodle is the BEST, even though the restaurant is not upscale the noodle there is fantastic ! read more

Can't believe I never tried this place since I lived in the neighborhood for several years. It was packed when we arrived but didn't have to wait too long since we were only a party of 2 (10mins max). A lot of noodle variety and soup bases. Can specify your preferred thickness. They have hand cut noodle too. A good variety of side dishes. We ordered the intestines one and enjoyed it (still prefer the deep fried ones from hk tho). Noodles are made on site, open style kitchen. My husband enjoyed his hand cut noodle and i got the regular noodle and thought it was okay. Beware when ordering hand cut noodles, it may take longer until yours come since they said they need to finish making the other ramens first...at least that was our understanding of it. Pictures may not resemble your actual noodle (as mentioned by some other reviewers). Open 24hrs. They take cash or debit only (I believe debit only allowed over a certain amount). Overall, I would come back again for the noodles, especially on those late nights. read more

I love the place. I'm a noodles fan and this servers great hand noodles with so many selections. The space is small and may end up lining up. read more

My friend loves going there. So, I'm most obliged to go there when he craves for hand-pulled noodles. He thinks it's the best in town

Noodles are average but worth the price. The skewers are amazing though and you should try all of them. They are also open 24 hours. That's super convenient for everyone since that's almost unheard of for a non fast food place. read more

A fine place for Chinese-style meat + noodle + soup. Noodles are handmade by the chef right beside the tables. The service was fast.

This place is always packed, expect to wait 10-30 minutes for a table. There is nothing fancy about this little restaurant at all. It's all about the food here. I find the soup base to be very very flavourful, and their hand-made noodles are cooked al dente. All the noodle dishes are very very good. Their skewers are not up to par though. They are too dry, and tough. Either they need to marinate it longer, or use more fatty cuts of meat. Their cold appetizers are really good, flavourful, and the portion size is just right for 2 people to share. I wouldn't recommend getting any of their deep-fried dishes, they tend to be way too oily, every time. Most of my friends from China would say this place isn't authentic, and they had better noodles elsewhere. I think this place is still great, and considering their opinion of authenticity, would definitely recommend this place as a training-wheels for Northern China cuisine. I actually frequent this restaurant maybe once or twice a month in the late evening, they are open 24 hours. A large bowl of noodles for me every time! read more

Food comes fast and tastes okay. Not expensive and it's 24hr so if you're looking for a late night snack/dinner in Scarborough this is the place to go. However, the restaurant is small and the tables are very close to each other so don't expect to have much personal space. Also, don't expect to have any service.. They don't really care about you after serving you the food. read more

Great to go for a 24 hour place when you crave hand pulled noodles. It's of course a typical restaurant you would find in this area. It's cold in the winter, cleanliness is questionable, the guy at the front dropped a skewer on the floor, looked at it and put it back on the plate...what's new? Despite this, i will be coming back. Consistency is odd though as some days it will taste great while other days are unsatisfying. Wait time is usually quick. Sometimes busy at night. Skewers are pretty good (maybe the floor adds flavour). It is meant to be a quick "what to eat at 2am?" kinda restaurant. read more

Your food quality won't count anymore if your service is not there. Magic Noodle, you lost another customer for life. Or you won't care at all as you simply ignored my son's question today. He (11 yrs old) walks into your restaurant but all your waiters passing by him and ignoring him for more than 5 min. At 11 am , your store is not full and your team selected not to care about all the future customer which my son told me you did not deserve our business. If there is a negative star system, you deserve a negative 5!! read more

Service was mediocre, decided to check this place out late night because not much else was open. The skewers were good (equivalent to those you can get at pacific mall or night market), but wasn't a big fan of the broth. Both my friend and I felt it was a bit too oily and were a little queasy on the ride home. read more

I've been to the restaurant a few times and decided to give a review on how I think of the food and the service. The food was okay , nothing spectacular but I suppose it is good place to fill up the belly when it is so late. The service though, I have to say I was not satisfied. The waitress that was serving our table , she seemed very rush although she shouldn't be consider there weren't many customers. I hope the restaurant will realize that building up good relationships with customers is also important,it is not just about putting the food on the table. read more

I ordered their hand pulled noodle with beef. It tasted very good. I will order extra beef next time cause there isn't much to begin with. I ordered a small size and it came with a lot of noodles. I also ordered friend pancake with green onion. Tasted good but needs more green onion. The pork intestine with soy sauce was hard. Their pork intestine is prepared like grounded up pork and fat and sliced like deli meat. Will not be ordering it again. Service is like typical Chinese restaurant. You always have to try to get someone's attention to order, ask for more things and bring the bill. McNicoll location was extremely busy. read more
