Came here around 2am because we were starving and nothing else was open. Oddly enough, the entire restaurant was full at this hour and we had to wait a bit before getting seated. People come in and out fairly quick, so the speed of the service was not a problem at all. With the restaurant being open 24/7, it is definitely convenient and accessible, especially for people who get hungry late at night and don't want to eat McDonald's (like me) so that's a big plus. The noodles came in huge portions that I was unable to finish even though I was extremely hungry. The generous amount given with each bowl is certainly worth the inexpensive prices, but I would still suggest sharing a dish with someone else to save some money. The taste however was really bland in my opinion, so I probably wouldn't come back. Also, the server kept spilling stuff everywhere - she got some soup on my jacket which left a stain and also dropped a dirty bowl that rolled off and could have hit someone. Not only did the apologies sound insincere, but it was hazardous and unprofessional. I pretty much left wishing I had just gone to McDs instead. read more

Magic Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I came to Magic Noodle a couple of times, and I enjoyed the food very much :) Yes, magical indeed lol. Both times this place was busy but wait time wasn't too bad, maybe 5 minutes tops. Their traditional hand-pulled noodles and hand-sliced noodles are definitely a delicious and inexpensive alternative compared to the overrated and costly ramen noodles in downtown Toronto. Clueless of what to order, we looked around curiously to see what our neighbors have ordered... they seem to know what they are doing lol. 1. Handmade noodles (seems like a no brainer lol) - many combinations, all cooked al dente... love the chewiness :) The broth was a little on lighter side but I love drinking the soup while eating my noodles, so it is perfect that the flavour is not too salty or overpowering. 2. Pan fried pancake stuffed with chives and leeks - so hearty with lots of stuffings and the outside was crispy. I ordered this both times because everyone else did too lol. 3. Seriously GO for the skewers! I've tried the sizzling tofu, squid, and lamb... really delicious! You order by the skewer. Their house made marinating sauce tasted amazing. It was sweet with a bit of a kick. Btw, the lamb was the only one sprinkled with super spicy herb... and I was breathing fire after lol (I can't eat TOO spicy!) but my friends all loved it XD 4. Pan fried pancake with red bean paste - perfect way to end your meal :) It was not too sweet. But be sure to share this one because it can be quite filling! So, come here if you are craving for noodles or if you just want a quick bite! The food is great, the service is fast, and you will even get a live show when you order their hand-pulled or hand-sliced noodles! Be sure to tip the chefs at the station for their hard work - there is a tip box in front of their work station :) Happy noodle eating! read more

Food was fairly decent, especially at it's price point compared to what you'd get anywhere downtown. However the service is errrr militaristic. We were in a bit of a rush, needed to basically dine and dash (while paying of course). This place gets stupid busy at around 6. We came in at 5, with no one really coming by other than dropping off a canteen of water and menus. We spent a bit about 5 minutes going over the menu, and by the time we were ready to order, then entire staff went on break and started having dinner. The kitchen staff was on one side, and servers on the other. The whole place just came to a halt. When we tried to explain to someone we were in a bit of a rush, her eyes glazed over and responded to us in Mandarin. Uhh, none of us speaks Mandarin. She went back and sat down to her dinner. 5:20 rolls around. And finally forced someone to take our order. Luckily the food came quick. And we were out of there by 5:50 (we needed to be out of there by 5:45). We woofed down our food like probably the two guys who escaped the NY prison would if they had the chance. So... meh. read more

A 24 hour joint located in a sea of late night eats along the strip of Midland Avenue in Scarborough. Generally busy all the time even at 2am in the morning! The main draw for people are the hand pulled and sliced noodle soups. They also serve some Chinese BBQ such as lamb and beef skewers, and other northern and western Chinese specialties. You can see the noodle chef making the noodles behind the glass window to the kitchen. When they first opened up I would have given them a 5 star but went recently and it's definitely not as good as before. Maybe I'm getting old and both my taste buds and memory are fading but the broths are no longer as rich and flavourful as once were and the noodles are no longer as chewy and delicious as I once remember it was. My broth was kinda bland and noodles were overcooked to be honest the last time around. Prices of most noodle soups are under $10 and appetizers under $5 so it's still definitely a great value. Most of the servers generally only speak Mandarin so it's a good place to brush up on your dialect when you order:) The place is a little small though so it gets pretty cramped when crowded as the tables are really packed in tight. Food generally comes out quickly and service is generally pretty good. Overall it's still good but like seeing your first love after 20 years apart, he/she are not like what you remember:) read more

This is a 24hr Chinese noodle restaurant it focuses on northern style as well as other styles of Chinese noodle. I went to this restaurant on a weekday, however this is not the first time i've been to this restaurant. It is usually very busy and very popular among the community around there. we ordered two noodles and shared a bit. The noodle here is usually pretty standard, the service is fast and efficient when it comes to noodles. The BBQ meat however is not so much. the noodles are very authentic, and the soup is generally pretty flavorful. i would recommend the pork belly noodle as it is one of the more popular noodles, and good for people who also want to try the handmade noodles. They are however not good at everything, outside of the noodles, they are not very good with their "chinese hamburgers" or some of the other snacks outside of BBQ meat. so i would hesitate to try those, as they are neither good nor authentic This restaurant i would recommend for those who really love noodles. and want to try something from a different region of china. read more

I usually come here whenever I get a craving for their noodles. Because they're made fresh in the store (you can even see them making it!), I think their noodles have a distinct taste that sets them apart from other noodle joints in Markham. The service is a little slow because their noodles are made fresh so that's understandable. I took off a star because they discontinued my favourite bowl- the seafood one with crab and stuffed fish balls!! :( All their noodle bowl choices all now seem to revolve around beef, pork, or chicken. Overall, this place is a solid choice if you're craving noodles. Be wary of a 5-10 min wait time though, this place is never not packed! read more

Came here with high expectations. Apparently, this place used to be a lot better (more generous meats and better service). Well, too bad. I have had better hand-pulled noodles at other places . The food was below average. It was packed when we got there (Sat. just before noon). They didn't have enough staff to serve tables. We had to ask for water and wait for a long time to place the order. I managed to take a picture of my dish to look like it has a good amount of meats. The ones shown in the picture was it. Nothing beneath the noodles. Soup was bland, not much flavour to it. Overall, I won't be back here. I don't recommend this place if you want to have good soup noodles. I don't know about other dishes. As their name indicates, they specialize in noodles....so chances are...other dishes are not worth trying. read more

Magic Noodle - Beef noodles - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Truly a 2.5 star review. It passes but not by much. It is more a show than sitting and enjoying or maybe I just don't know how to appreciate this craft. I ordered a braised been hand cut noodle, chili oil on the side. When it arrived the presentation was OK but there was very evident the chili oil.was added in. Took a taste of the broth. It was OK. A bouquet of spices but not as rich as what I have read about. The noodles were OK, could of had another smack or two on the counter to build up more gluten/ chewiness. The brisket was braised for a long time but somehow lacked beef flavour. And after consuming a big bowl of noodles did find myself a bit thirsty. It is open 24 hours and lots of parking to fulfill people's needs when ever necessary read more

Magic noodle is located right beside Chako's of Scarborough. Its open 24 hours which makes it an awesome place to go to for a late night bite. I visited during the day around 2pm and even though thats a bit past lunch hours, it was still very busy. The soup was great. It was less spicy than the ones Ive tried here before and it was all thanks to the chili oil being left out. Man....that was hard to eat last time. Noodles: The noodles are my favourite part of this place. You can hear the constant thumping coming from behind the counter, so if you are familiar with the cuisine, you know what that means. They are hand-pulled, making them fresh and slightly chewy. Perfecto! Serving size: I ordered extra meat and noodles but only because I was REALLY hungry. I could barely finish my food. My brothers had normal serving sizes and they too were filled up by the end. We all got the large size and it did well for all of us. Price: Pretty much all the soups were priced around $10.00 or less. Obviously the extras cost more but they are fairly priced. Including my extras, we spent $42.00 before tip for 4 people. Not too bad! read more

I've passed by here so many times and seen coworkers eat lunch from here but I've never had it myself. We stopped by for Saturday night dinner at around 8 and there were quite a few people waiting. There's not a huge amount of seating. You get a number and you get one of those beeping pager things you get at the Keg or Red Lobster. Although there were quite a few people we waited for less than ten minutes. I feel like I need to mention the look of the menu cause I quite liked it. Full color, lots of pictures, nice design. They tell you about allergy information with little icons by the name of the item. Magic Noodle has quite the range of choices, some of which are really interesting. The "Organ Donor" which has haggis in it caught my eye. But I'm not that adventurous so I went for hand shaved noodles with beef brisket. You can see them shaving and making the noodles fresh in the kitchen. I was surprised by the hand shaved noodles. I've never had anything like that before - the noodles were really thick with uneven pieces and doughy, but not in a bad way. Don't expect regular noodles or something like ho fun if you get this. They do have regular hand pulled noodles (these are shaved off a piece of dough). The noodles are incredibly filling. The brisket was decent, not the softest I've had and there wasn't a huge amount of it. The soup was a little on the oily side and has a bit of spice to it - perhaps chili oil. If you're the kind of person who can't tolerate even a little bit of spice keep this in mind. Overall not bad. Probably not something I would really crave but I'll likely be back. Service was cordial, nothing out of the ordinary. This is a good spot if you're looking for a simple meal with a good price point. read more

I just love the noodles here. I tried both the hand cut noodles and the traditional hand pulled noodles. Both were amazing but I still prefer the hand pulled noodles. The texture of the noodles were perfect and it was cooked perfectly aswell. Not too soggy with a good bounce to it. As for the meat I tried both the beef ribs and beef tenderloin and I found the meat to be a bit tough and chewy. We also had the house special beef pancake $3.99. I hint of sweetness in the sauce and tasted pretty decent. From the outside the place looks to be pretty large but once you get in you realize its much smaller than it looks. The service was very fast. Workers speak mandarin we used half Cantonese and English to communicate and there were no problems. The awesomeness of the noodles gives this place an extra 0.5 stars 3.5 stars read more

Despite some negative reviews here we had a good experience there. Parking is not a problem and the place is very easy to find. The place was crowded when we got there and we occupied the last table left. It was a good one just in front of chef preparing the dough - such a spectacle! The food was really good and brought to the table quickly. I ordered the small bowl and it was more than enough food to me. read more

Magic Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I had been meaning to try this place mainly because its a 24hr restaurant. This place wasn't at all what I expected. I ordered the "pot belly" which was pork belly with classic hand pulled noodles, bok choy and scallions in a broth. While I usually love my soup spicy adding "Sri racha" was more like trying to make up for the fact that the soup lacked any real flavour. The portion was more than enough and they offer extra noodles for only $1 for those that are really hungry. I had a completely different expectation so it wasn't my cup of tea. read more

Magic Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I came here with my family for dinner. I really liked the hand pulled noodles, but not the chopped up ones. I found the soup noodles were pretty good, as were the dumplings, but nothing really blew me away. The barbecued items were good, though. The place was busy and there were only two servers on staff, so you had to flag them down whenever you needed something. read more

I love the fact that this place is open 24 hours! So key. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations coming here at 12am on a random Saturday night. Most 24 hour restaurants lack in taste but exceed in convenience. This place hit both. I got one of the beef noodles and it was pretty good..like I'd come here on a normal day for a bowl of beef noodles! Was very pleasantly surprised. The service was also better than expected for a cheap Chinese restaurant. I will be coming back! read more

I've been hearing a lot of hype about Magic Noodle lately, so I finally tried it out for myself. I arrived around noon on a Saturday and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad considering I've heard horror stories about the wait. I ordered the classic hand pulled noodles with sliced beef. The first shock was that the bowl of noodles that arrived looked completely different from the picture on the menu, which showed a bright red soup base deeply coloured by Chili oil. In reality, we had to add chili oil ourselves. After getting over the initial shock, we devoured the noodles. I liked the texture of the noodles, and the soup base was decently flavourful. It was also extremely filling. But overall, it wasn't special enough that I'd be willing to wait for more than 15 min for. I also tried a meat bun (gou bu li), which they offer individually for $0.99 each. It was pretty good and also quite filling. All in all, I would come back for pulled noodles, but perhaps not during peak lunch/dinner times. read more

Small cozy place. Had the pork belly. Was absolutely delicious - you could tell the noodles were hand pulled and there was a healthy portion of pork belly. Would definitely recommend. Chili oil (usually one of my favourite things to add) - seemed either old or just burnt. read more

Magic Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This place is a Small Joint. All their noodles are hand made to order! We came here to celebrate a belated birthday with a friend of ours. It was around 7pm when we got there and it was packed. There was no table for 3, so we waited around 10 mins or so for a table. I was checking out their menu while waiting, and I love their menu design. Their menu was like a Food & Drink Magazine Spread. Our menu: 1. Knifed Sliced Noodles with Braised Pork The noodles were made and cooked right in front of us. The noodles had a chewy texture, which was quite nice. The braised pork was so-so. The noodles really absorbed the broth, so you really have to eat quick, or ask for more broth next time. 2 Sizzling Tofu It was fried tofu squares marinated in a ma pao tofu sauce. A ting of spice, it was quite yummy. 3. Hand-Pulled Special House Noodles Noodles had a nice texture, meat and egg was a bit over done. 4. Hand-Pulled Spicy Pork Intestines I enjoyed mine the most. The noodle texture was excellent, nice chewiness and texture. The broth was to my liking of spice level. But there wasn't enough intestines in my opinion. Overall, the place was a great place to eat with the added bonus of the noodles made on the spot. I subtracted a star because the water jugs were kind of murky. read more

Saw BlogTO's latest article on the new location of Magic Noodle on Harbord and discovered I live close to the one in Scarborough... Figured I'd give this Scarborough location a try and I haven't been underwhelmed by a restaurant in a while... Seating was fairly cramped (they're really going for maximizing the number of customers in their unit space) -- it was awkward getting up or flagging wait staff because you'd end up smacking the person at the next table. Ordered the Triple B (Beef Stock / Braised Beef Brisket / Pickled Tumip / Cilantro / Scallions ), The Magic (Beef Stock / Sliced Beef / Pulled Chicken . Fried Egg / Braised Lamb / Beef Tripe / Pickled Turnip / Cilantro / Scallions), and Pork Flats. The Magic... was not what we expected -- it didn't even have a lot of toppings in it, nor did it look like the photo in the menu. The Triple B only had one slice of turnip and less brisket than I thought there'd be. The only thing that came as expected was the Pork Flats (even then it was just mediocre). The soup base for both seemed like they just mixed in broth intended for the lamb noodles because I could taste a bit of mutton in it (also they mixed in a bit of kidney beans???). The noodles themselves were actually the only good thing from the meal... Skimmed some reviews before posting and noticed that some people have commented on the noticeable drop in quality of food... maybe I was just unlucky, or maybe it's what it is now. Don't think I'll be coming back to this location but am willing to try the Harbord and Richmond Hill locations to see if they're any better. read more

This place is always packed during lunch or dinner or night snack hours... When there is a line, you have to get the pager from them first. Overall this place tasted great from other chinese noodle shops. However, I think they put a lot of MSG and salt to make the soup based to taste this good. The price was alright, and they have a choice of small or large bowl. I always ordered their small bowl which I think its enough already. Stay away from the noodle soups that have the actual pork bones in it. There is so little meat on the bones, so basically you are like a dog, smelling and chewing bones the whole night :D The small cold plate of veg was about $4. I think I will order something else instead.... read more

There have been many Lanzhou style noodle restaurants popping up over the GTA in the past while. Magic Noodle has been here for a few years and is open for 24 hours, with a decent sized sitting space. I have been here many times, trying different items such as the magic lamb, the triple b, and recently the pot belly. For all of these, the main weakness is the portion size of the meat and the soup. Each dish gives you a few pieces of lamb or beef, with the pot belly being significantly better but still not above average. The stock that they use lacks flavour from the meat and tends to be a bit too salty, and the chili oil isn't spicy enough. That being said, the hand pulled noodles are still very great as well as the daoxiaomian, which I prefer because there tends to be more noodles in each bowl. I have not found any decent replacement as of yet, which I will update you on in the future. If you are around this area Magic Noodle is worth trying out. read more

Magic Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I came here twice - once for lunch and once for dinner - and I had to line up for both times even though it wasn't during peak lunch (1:30 pm)/dinner (6:30 pm) time. The first time I came here was for dinner and I ordered hand pulled noodle with beef offal ($7.99), sizzling tofu skewer ($1.50) and sizzling fresh squid tentacles ($1.99). I thought that the prices were fairly marked. The small bowl of hand pulled noodle was very filling - I could barely finish it. The offal were very tender and the noodle was a good chewy consistency. The tofu was on the spicy side but flavourful. The squid tentacle was mediocre. The sauce that it came with was like hoisin sauce but tastewise, it wasn't anything special. The second time I visited this restaurant, I ordered more snacks and shared a small bowl of noodle with my mom. We got the beef wrap ($5.99) which my mom loved since there was no onion in it. I thought that it tasted great too (although I wish that onion was included). We got a chive pancake ($2.99) which was quite tasty. However, price wise, it's more expensive than my usual new Northern Dumplings restaurant. Taste wise, they're completely different but one isn't better than the other. I got a lamb skewer ($1.99) and it's the best lamb skewer I've ever had. It was tender, juicy, not too salty and not spicy at all. It was perfect. The last snack we got was sweet potato patty ($0.80) and I didn't like it at all because it wasn't sweet (it wasn't supposed to be sweet but I didn't know that). I'm glad this restaurant is near my area because I quite enjoyed the food here and I'll be coming back for more! read more

Hungry at 3AM? No problem, Magic Noodle's got you! Open 24/7 and the noodles are to die for! Service is so-so depending how busy it is, but the servers to try. I usually get the beef brisket noodle soup with their green onion pancake, which I'm pretty sure is frozen. Broth is amazing and noodles are as fresh as they come! Very recommended! read more

This location is open 24-hours so we came here for a late night snack after a bit of drinking! Around 2 am, we had to wait 10 minutes for a spot for 10 people and boy was it packed. It was packed and there was always a line for a table from when we got there to when we left. The prices are pretty good - usually $7 - 8 for small and around $9 for a large. I got the magic noodle which comes with beef, chicken and lamb. The noodles were MAGICAL, they were really really good and I haven't had noodles like that before. It tasted fresh and authentic, and was probably the best part of the meal. Unfortunately, there was barely any meat in my meal, it was actually pretty sad how little meat there was, a tiny piece of chicken, with little strips of beef that were the size of a macaroni and like 2 pieces of lamb that were very small, probably the size of a USB, so that was fairly disappointing. I believe it is because it's late and the chefs put no effort, so that's unfortunate because the noodles are really good. I believe if I come during the day the meals will be more reasonable and better, so I'm excited to come back during the day to try this place out. Then, I'll update my review if it's actually better. read more

Magic Noodle - Magic - comes with lamb, beef, chicken and a fried egg - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

*The quality has gone down over the years, but the food is decent consider the price that I paid for. *The good thing about Magic Noodle is that you know for sure you are getting fresh homemade noodles.The chefs are constantly pulling and stretching (occasionally slamming) the noodles right in front of your eyes. -House Special Magic Noodle - $7.99 Small: this looked nothing like the picture on the menu LOL.On the menu the broth seemed to be red and there were more varieties of vegetables, so expect that the pictures might not resemble your actual dishes. The texture of the noodle was spot on, slightly chewy, soft but not too soggy. The soup base was packed full of flavour, quite refreshing and not too salty at all. The pork was good, I just wished the pan-fried egg had a more gooey yolk and some kind of green vegetables would have been nice as well. -Hand-Pulled Noodle with Pork Bone - $7.99 Large: Friend said there was nothing special and complained that there was barely any meat. The broth was not oily and again, very flavourful. I say skip this dish and get other type of meats with the hand-pulled noodles :). -House Special Pork Burger - $3.99: Albeit it's a little bit oily, but I would order this again and I definitely recommend it! The pastry was crunchy, and it had a hint of nuttiness from the sesame seeds. The pork was a bit salty, soft and had a layer of fat running through. Together with the sesame pastry, it was a wonderful combination.... -Goubuli Chinese Bun (Pork & Leek) - $0.99 If you don't feel like having a bowl of noodle, lucky you there are other snacks or side dishes as well, and they are all cheap! The bun had a good filling to bun ratio and it was very "supple," and had the right amount of elasticity to it. Furthermore, the filling was hearty and seasoned just right, the braising liquid was just enough to soak the bun without making it become soggy. read more

Perfect place to go to if you are craving a fresh bowl of noodle soup. My bf and I came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch and the restaurant was half full so were seated immediately. We scoped out what everyone was eating and decided to opt for the beef noodle soup. I ordered it with the thin noodles and my bf got the thicker flat noodles (which tasted better). Broth was flavourful but a little slightly over oily. Think I will try the lighter broth next time. The portions were big but the meat given was a little on the stingier side. We also had a side order of their beef and pork pancake. Nothing special (not enough meat) and probably wouldn't get it next time. Typical of an asian restaurant, the service was quick and efficient. It was also pretty cool with their open concept kitchen to see the chefs making the handmade noodles. Overall, a great place for late night eats since they are open 24 hours. read more

Great noodle soup place for a good price! The good thing about this place is that its open 24 HOURS. THATS RIGHT. YOU CAN GET BEEF NOODLE SOUP AT 2AM IF YOU WANT TO. As far as the taste goes, I would recommend getting either the beef noodle soup or the pork belly noodle soup because the broth for those soups surpass all others. The noodles are also freshly made by a Chinese guy in the corner right before they are served. Its only about 8 bucks per bowl and they are pretty filling. Looking forward to coming again. read more

Magic Noodle - Pork belly noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I came here twice so far. On my first visit, I had to wait for at least 20 minutes before I got seated but on my second visit since I visited on a weekday I didn't have to wait. On both visits, the restaurant was incredibly packed. On my most recent, I noticed that the restaurant had installed a 24 hour sign outside-interesting concept! You get to see the chef making and pulling/ slicing the noodles in the open kitchen ( it does get loud though). I shared the shredded beef pancakes, sizzling tofu and lamb kebab with my friend. I got the hand-pulled noodle with beef brisket- the brisket was quite tender and the broth had a bit of a kick to it. I had my noodle with a bit of the chili sauce and I have to say their chili sauce is really good! The sauce was incredibly aromatic and really complimented the beef brisket. The noodles were really good and you could tell the noodles are fresh! As for proportions, they are quite big and you could most likely share one and try more appetizers. I found the shredded beef pancakes to be lacking-it was a bit dry and just underwhelming. However, the sizzling tofu and the lamb kebab were both absolutely delicious. The sizzling tofu was savoury and wasn't bland at all. Out of all the lamb kebabs I have had before this one was one of the better ones- the meat wasn't dry and the fat made the meat really flavourful. I can't say much for the service as it wasn't really existent, I can't say I was expecting it either. We got our order pretty quickly. And when we asked for the bill, they were able to get the bill back to us quite quickly and we didn't have to wait long at all. *Tip* Bring the receipt and pay at the front! read more

Been here 4 times within 2 weeks! Good for casual family dinner, might be packed during lunch/dinner time. Must try their bbq toufu skewer ( "toufu Manchu")! We ordered non-spicy. 6 minimum. Love their bbq sauce! We always order one of their soup noodles if we dine in. It's average, portion is generous, and probably no msg cuz I don't feel thirsty afterward. Stirring fired noodles are delicious and portion is generous. I always ordered hand-shaved noodle cuz the texture of the noodle absorbs the sauce and make it more flavorful and chewy. Remember to add the black vinegar and some of their home-made fried garlic chili oil! Spiced-up marriage (夫妻肺片) is always freshly made and one of our regulars. I always added a few drops of vinegar to make it more flavourful. Magic scrolls is delicious, but Gamos are so so-a lot room to improve. Service is good, lemon water , washroom is clean. Will be one of our regular dine-in / take-out places. Oh, the lamb skewers might be one of their specialties but I had better ones. read more

My wife and i visited Magic Noodle on Sunday 11/27/2106. It was quite packed for our first time there. Most of the seating was occupied. Friendly wait staff. about the food experience. we ordered Seafood friar noodles and Dragon Wonton noodle bowl large. The noodle soup was very good for the price worth going back for. I enjoyed the fresh pulled noodles..should have requested extra noodles since my wife and I shared the bowl. The seafood friar dish (with fresh hand shredded noodles) I was hugely disappointed in. I am unable to eat cabbage and literally 1/2 of the dish was cabbage the noodles on the dish appeared to be less than a handful overall. There was barely 4 small pieces of shrimp and maybe like 3 small pieces of scallops. The fresh hand shredded noodles were good along with the sauce for the noodle dish..but more seafood please and more vegetables other than just cabbage and onions. for a dish that is at a price point of $10.99 pre-tax I would have expected more out of it. I would probably suggest stick with the hand pulled noodle soups and skip the friar noodle dishes. As for the Dragon Wonton Noodle soup dish, the noodles were the star of the show..the wontons were lackluster in size and the addition of the pork bones in the soup..meh..could have done without it. Maybe next time all request to leave out the pork bones. If you want good sized wontons with your noodle soup..would recommend elsewhere. Would only recommend visiting here for the fresh pulled noodle soups only. read more

Magic Noodle - Seafood friar noodle aftermath..too much cabbage..1/2 the dish was cabbage. - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This was my first Lanzhou ramen experience, and it was definitely a memorable, yet delicious experience. The Lanzhou ramen I ordered was the diao xiao mian with sliced beef. In the beginning, I was very skeptical with my order as I never usually order beef noodle soup; however, after taking a couple of slurps, my worry was unnecessary. The noodles were delicious, cooked correctly (not undercooked or overcooked), the soup was flavourful, and the beef was tender. If there is one complaint I can make, it would be that the soup was not hot enough. Although the noodles were warm, I thought it could be a little bit more hot, as I think that would enhance the overall taste. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try as the price was reasonable for the portions I received, the food tasted delicious, food service was quick, parking was easy to find, and most importantly, the staff were polite and willing to accommodate to requests such as asking for extra green onions and parsley. read more

Magic Noodle - #203 - Magic Beef D.X. - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

It was fine noodles, I had a seafood bowl smith only shrimp. The shrimp was clean and the noodles were fresh nothing too special about the seasoning. The lady who served me made me wait for someone who was in the washroom to order before e simply because the family was there first but I think it's because I'm not Asian and they were but it's to be expected. I may go back if I feel for noodles again. read more

Great soup place if you ever wanted to take a break from pho or ramen. Usually pretty busy all the time.

If you want some ok hand pulled noodle and want quick service this is the place to be. They have quite a list of different types of hand pulled noodle and soup base. We ordered the beef tendon with spicy beef soup and got the thicker noodles. This was tasty but quite salty after finishing. A large can definitely feed two people if you're planning on ordering side dishes. We also ordered their cold spicy chicken (not sure why).. but definitely will not be ordering again. It is essentially a steamed chicken leg with some sa cha sauce and hot sauce on top. We also got a lamb skewer and beef tendon skewer. Very cumin tasting... super strong. So if you do not like cumin I would avoid or ask for NO seasoning. We also got the squid skewer and it was decent at a ok price (if i remember correctly it is 2.95 per skewer). This restaurant could get quite busy on weekend and late night eats but the turnaround for tables is quite fast. Not sure if they take credit card here but similar to any asian restaurant, always bring cash. read more

out of all the Ramen places I been to, this one became my favorite next to Ajisen ramen but I like Magic Noodles more, because they happen to serve you much larger portions of ramen read more

Very decent 24/7 noodle restaurant. I got the Triple B noodles and the chive pocket. The noodles were more on the salty side and the broth was pretty oily but all in all it was pretty delicious. read more

Magic Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Came here for lunch today. It is the second time I've eaten here and was much busier before. I got here at 1.30pm and it was about half full. Last time I came, we were waiting outside for a table. I ordered the pork bone noodle and the bones were still cold in the centre. My friend got the beef brisket soup noodle. Overall, not bad for a bowl of soup noodles for $6.99 (s). We also ordered a bbq tofu stick and a bbq lamb skewer. They were both flavourful and not charred. Worst thing was the small flies that were flying all around the restaurant because of the water bamboo plants. You shouldn't have those in restaurants because you do get the tiny flies from them. Overall, it's not a bad place to go for a bowl of noodles and some bbq skewers. read more
