If you're looking for a quick noodle fix, Magic Noodle might be the spot. We were pleasantly…read moresurprised by the affordable hand pulled noodle offerings here at this popular uptown joint. The menu even includes all-day breakfast. The most popular dish is the Magic Beef, which really is just typical Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles. We made sure to add free extra noodles. Broth is clean and comes with pickled radish, scallions and tender beef slices albeit small thin pieces. We were more satisfied with the Tomato Beef and Pot Belly noodle soups that were more hearty. Pick the noodle styles from silk string to thick ribbon noodles. They also have knife shaved Daoxiao noodles. It's a busy location but the noodles come streaming out of the kitchen where you can watch the staff make the noodles and prep the ingredients. Staff also do a good job of keeping the place clean & serving families. Skip it or hit it? We'll be back again!

The chew of the noodle is perfect. The variety if noodles, shapes and thicknesses allows you to customize your own bowl down to the broth,toppings and the protein (or you can choose a bowl from their menu). I tried the dan dan noodle which has a spicy sesame base for the sauce. I also had the red splash which is just chili oil. This came with a fried egg and bok choy. The thick noodle had a really nice chew. The rice noodle option was great for gluten free customers. They also have some appetizers. We tried the chicken karage which tasted more like a popcorn chicken from those Taiwanese bubble tea shops. Service was okay, typical of a fast food type joint. Lots of seating. Was a bit dark inside.

The portions are HUGE here. Given the price, it's a good deal! It IS a little pricier than Ming's…read moreat peachtree, but the portion size makes up for it. We had the soy sauce wok fried chicken rice noodle, which is what I usually love. They had just barely enough wok hay. They use chicken leg meat and not chicken breast slices, so there isn't a lot of meat but the taste was decent. The duck tasted ok, but the flavour was a little mild (and I have a very simple palate). It was ok. The skin was excellent though! The YC fried was huge. Overall good taste, but the BBQ pork was a tad too sweet for me. I prefer Auric King's BBQ pork instead. The guy server was super nice and attentive. He asked for feedback and suggestions. We suggested an "all day meal" menu like the traditional hk cafe. The vibe is very 80s Hong Kong style. Very aesthetic, like Garden Cafe, who also does the same style. Check out my interior pics to see! Tables and bowls are a little sticky though lol. Overall, I might come back when they have an all day menu. I see most people ordering noodles, probably because the portions aren't as massive. As of right now, they have the white menu for non members, which is BOGO half off. Also, $30 for lifetime VIP.

They always close early that we couldn't make it before. This restaurant was not big, but the types of noodles and ingredients were varied enough for different people to be picked. And they do have different packages that customers can add on drinks or soups with cheaper prices. We had 2 different types of noodles, then add on a bottle of milk tea and a bowl of fish ball soup. It didn't take long to get the noodles. It was really tasty. The bottle of milk tea was smooth and really HKG style, just a bit small. The fish ball soup was ok, but it was small too. The original prices for those 2 add on items were a bit expensive, for add on cheaper prices, that's ok. We will still like to come for different noodles.

My husband and I shared the classic wonton noodle soup alongside a dry wonton noodle lo mein with sweet and spicy pork. Our table also shared a side of the fried fish skin, and I ordered a fresh soy milk to round it out. Everything was absolutely delicious! The noodles had the perfect, authentic al dente texture, and the flavors were spot-on--incredibly flavorful without being overly salty or heavy. The fried fish skin was crispy perfection, and the soy milk was wonderfully fresh and refreshing. My only complaint is that we don't have a Big Trio Wonton House back home in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please consider expanding and opening a branch here!

Curious about the little restaurant with a big name?…read more If you're looking for a HK classic bite, Big Trio Wonton Noodle is a good spot. They serve up classic wonton noodles as well as other dumplings, fishballs and beef brisket. On this visit, we tried the pork with chili & tomato egg noodles along with dace fish balls as two toppings ($14) as well as 3 toppings noodle in soup featuring huge dumplings, beef brisket & tripe ($14) among the selection of ingredients. The pork with chili & tomato sauce melded well for a flavorful combination that was further accentuated by their house hot sauce. I appreciated that it came served with soup too for the fresh fish balls. I'll be back as a fan even if the fam might not be so much!

The menu is massive and packed with authentic dishes you don't usually see on typical takeout menus. We ordered the mapo tofu and the twice-cooked pork, and both were packed with that signature numbing Sichuan peppercorn kick.

The service is no-frills and efficient - don't expect white tablecloths, but do expect incredible food. Already planning our next visit to work through more of the menu.

We ended up getting the ham macaroni soup with a cheese ham sandwich combo, along with the O Street signature beef sandwich and fries from their new menu. Despite how busy it was on a Saturday, the food came out at a pretty reasonable speed, which I appreciated. The macaroni soup was just okay, very much the kind of simple comfort food that fills you up, but nothing especially memorable. I was most excited for the signature beef sandwich, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The burger/sandwich itself was smaller than I imagined, and it only had about 2-3 pieces of beef brisket inside with marinated bell peppers and their homemade sauce. The sauce leaned sweeter than expected, which might work for some people, but personally I was hoping for something more savoury and more generous with the beef. However, the brisket was tender, which was a win... ish. Overall, still a decent spot if you're craving classic HK cafe vibes and variety, especially for a casual meal with family.

Been roughly just over a year since my friends and I visited this place during their soft opening…read more Food quality has seemed to remain consistently good since then! Recently came back w/ my parents as this has now become one of their de facto go-to's for viet food in Richmond Hill along w/ Ngon Corner (replacing Green Lemongrass). They are SOOO busy now as they have a loyal student customer base during the school months (conveniently being right next to Bayview Secondary). They run student deals as well as lunch specials. On this visit, I opted for curry beef brisket rice as my mom told me that she tried it w/ my dad and they vouched for it. The curry was quite flavourful and there were a LOT of big brisket chunks running through the curry so I was pleasantly surprised. Got an additional iced lemon tea for no extra charge which was so awesome! The staff recognize my parents now because they've been going quite regularly lately lol. Gotta bring my friends back again sometime to complete a full circle moment.

It's flavourful, both fatty and lean, tender, juicy... basically perfect for the grill. There's an option to add an egg, which I skipped. The dish comes with a small salad drizzled in balsamic vinegar, plus some pickled daikon radish and carrots. A small dish of sweet and tangy fish sauce is included too, perfect for pouring over the rice. Fantastic flavors all around. I cleared the plate and would definitely order it again, though they have a lot of other dishes I want to try too. They're currently running a promo where you get a free drink with any order! Not advertised anywhere (from what I saw), they just casually mentioned it after we ordered. The iced lemon tea was refreshing, with sliced lemons on top, and served in a large cup, which I highly appreciate. Not one of those tiny takeout ones that's gone in a few sips. Service is very friendly. Lots of free parking. Just a heads up, they only accept debit or cash.

Like the others, it is bright and spacious inside. This plaza brings a lot of traffic. I got lucky and didn't have to wait but there were multiple groups waiting almost the entire time I was eating. Service was good but maybe a little hectic? We kept getting dishes before we even placed our order. When we did order, our food came surprisingly quick. We usually have to wait longer for the rice when we dine at other locations so we were shocked at how quickly it came. A solid spot - would recommend!

The shrimp toast was rich and indulgent, yet it never felt overly greasy. The beef chow fun had incredible wok hei and great flavor. We only wished the noodles weren't as broken, but it was still one of the best versions we've had. We'll definitely be back to try their duck special if the rest of the menu is this good!
