There are some things in life that can never be explained. Alien abductions... ghosts... Why Cantonese people like to say the phrase "Aiya"... My visit to Noodle Max would be one of these unexplained phenomenon. I was really hoping to try this hyped up beef noodle place in Richmond Hill, only to have my hope squashed by a long line up at 4:20pm in the afternoon. 4:20!!! WTH!!! On a snowy, slushy late afternoon, I blindly (and slowly) drove my way aimlessly to Aurora. I remember some Asian restaurant getting rave reviews up in Aurora and that being Noodle Max (maybe it wasn't so aimless). If you are someone who believes in destiny, I can tell you destiny will occasionally give you sxxxxy things. Noodle Max would be one of them. Noodle Max's main offerings are Lan Zhou style noodles and was it ever an unauthentic and underwhelming experience. I wouldn't go as far to say the soup was tasteless like water, but it's pretty bland. While the soup for Lan Zhou noodles are not generally crazy strong in flavour, it should still have the taste of spices. The beef slices were also pretty tame in flavour. They were ok. The main plus about their noodle was the portion; quite big. The noodle had better texture than most store bought noodles, but it did not have the proper floury taste and the limited flavours from the soup was not able to hang onto the noodles. Aurora used to be a black hole in terms of dining options, but not anymore. How Noodle Max continued to garner such a high Yelp and Google rating befuddles me. read more

Noodle Max - Wonton noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - Aurora, Ontario

We have been here twice and both of the experience were pretty good. First time was lunch time and it was busier but still have seats for us. We ordered a braised beef noodle with triangle noodles and a pork belly noodle with round noodles. Yes you can choose the type of noodles. Apparently their noodles are hand made and actually upon entering the restaurant I heard these loud banging noise and it's because they're making the noodles and hitting the dough on the work station surface. My braised beef noodles was not bad, flavorful soup, tender beef, though I didn't quite like the triangle noodles matching a soup based noodle. The noodle is good, chewy and Al dente, but when the soup is not very strong, you can taste too much of the dough of the thicker noodle. I think a thick noodle would be better for a fried noodle, not with soup. And soup match better with thinner noodles. The pork belly noodle soup with round noodles was also not bad but it can make you feel full easily. The portion of the noodles is very generous and quite a lot of the fat from the pork belly so can easily get full. The second time we ordered an intestine noodle soup with classic noodles and an oil spill noodle (non soup based). And oh man we enjoyed it even more! I didn't try the intestine noodles but my partner did enjoy it. And for my oil spilled noodles, it was sooo good! So much garlic and a bit spicy with chili sauce. Enough sauce to cover all the thick noodles. The noodle texture was just right amount of chewiness. Comes with some veggies, a fried egg and a few pieces of thinly sliced beef all beautifully presented. And to my surprise although the beef was so thinly sliced, it tastes so strong in beef flavor lol. This oil spill noodle is definitely a dish I'll crave again. But next I'll want to try the fried noodles!! Overall good noodles with generous portion, price varies from $11-$15 which is reasonably good, service was attentive and friendly, environment is comfortable and clean, accept credit card (no cash discount), has its own online platform that you can easily order take out. And it's relatively convenient in the aurora sobeys plaza. Really nothing much to not like it! read more

Noodle max makes their own noodles and it's fresh. You can hear banging sounds of the chef making noodles live. There are up to 10 noodle options from thickness to type of noodle. The portion of each bowl of needle is quite big and can fill up to 2 person per bowl if you order a snack on the side. read more

I got diarrhea from this restaurant - explosive having eaten nothing earlier. I strongly recommend you avoid this restaurant in the future and the suspicious looks from the cook overlooking our table very consistantly leads me to believe it was done out of malice due to prejudice or worse yet deliberately served spoiled food. I will never eat there again and DO NOT suggest it to anyone in the future. read more

Serving fresh hand pulled noodles, Noodle Max is a brand new spot that recently opened in Aurora! It's pretty spacious inside with ample seating, and the servers were very friendly. They greeted and were very courteous overall which definitely enhanced our visit. They have a variety of soup noodles, fried noodles, dry noodles, Chinese buns, snacks and much more! When you pick your noodle, remmeber to tell them the type of noodle you want - there's a lot of choices. We opted for the classic noodle for our Beef Flank bowl and it definitely did not disappoint! The noodle itself was bouncy, tasted fresh, cooked just right, and the Noodle Max bowl was fantastic. There were ample of braised beef chunks inside, and the soup was very tasty Be sure to give them a visit if you're in the area! They accept cash and card. IG: Ayenomz read more

Finally a great hand pulled noodle place in Aurora! If we call Markham the "gold standard", we are there! Great service and comfortable seating. The food is well made and the banging of the chef making the hand pulled noodles shows how authentic everything is. Tastes great and not oily. Many choices so it will take me a while to try everything. I would suggest the Noodle Max hand pulled noodles which will give you and assortment of meats plus an egg. Highly recommended! read more

A hand-pulled noodle house! You can choose from a variety of different noodle shapes since they are pulled by the chef on site. You can even hear him banging away while you enjoy your meal the kids are entertained! The "curtain" noodle is definitely flat and wide... The triangle and round noodle has no distinguishable difference other than appearance but is definitely my go to in terms of texture. Service was excellent, quick and friendly. Highly recommend the spicy pig intestine noodle, they were soo tender and flavorful. We also tried the noodle max which was good for a first visit since you get to try a bit of every topping, but the broth was not as good. The spicy braised beef noodle was also good! Will definitely be coming back, and no need to drive to Markham! read more

Awesome awesome place!! Service was super friendly and my whole family really enjoyed their food here. Prices were very reasonable and portion size was massive! We all ordered noodle soups, I got the wonton soup with thick noodles and I loved how bouncy and chewy the noodles were. Somewhat hard to eat at times because they were so long but the server gave us some scissors to help cut the noodles into more manageable sizes. The noodles are made fresh to order which you can truly taste-they are the star of the show. My wontons were actually super tasty with an almost siu-mai flavour, I loved them! The soup base was a nice clean chicken soup flavour although I believe it's a chicken/beef stock. It was rich but not overly salty. Overall this spot is a gem and I look forward to trying some other dishes, the fried noodles also looked wonderful! read more

Glad I found this place! Although it was a bit hard to find, the word "noodle" in the sign stuck out and I was immediately attracted. It was also not what I was expecting. I would have been happy with a regular bowl of wonton noodle soup using the standard thin noodles found at so many other noodle restaurants. But these are hand pulled noodles, cooked perfectly al dente, and about as thick as spaghetti. I watch the chef hand pull a batch of noodles. I could tell they were both authentic and fresh. Add in a half dozen plump wontons with pork and shrimp, and a rich flavourful broth and you have a great lunch. Or dinner--it's big enough. They also have more than just noodle soups. Various other fried noodle dishes, appetizers, and cold dishes are on the menu, and they sound delicious! I will come back to try more--no question about it! read more

Hidden gem!! If you want authentic Chinese hand pulled noodles, look no further! This is the place. Cannot believe such authentic noodles place outside of Markham and Richmond Hill. Portion is huge! Cannot finish one order of noodles for myself. And most importantly the flavour is so on point for all the dishes. The popcorn chicken is packed with flavour which makes KFC's original shames. The Chinese hamburger is also a must try. Just wish I have enough room in my stomach to have everything. While I was there in a random Saturday afternoon the delivery and pick up orders never stoped. The ambiance is very nice and clean. If you are in the Neighbourhood you cannot miss it. read more

Looking for some authentic Chinese hand pulled noodles? This is the place to go in Aurora. We had Braised Beef Classic Noodle Soup, Spicy Chicken Dry Noodles, BBQ Tofu snack. They sold out on the lamb skewers but will try to get them next time we're here. Updated: We finally got some of the lamb skewers and they were a hit. We got 2 non-spicy for kiddo and 2 spicy for the adults. I get why these sell out often esp. at $3 a stick. Also tried the red bean paste hot pockets. Crispy flaky pastry and filling isn't too sweet. Good dessert options. This restaurant just opened and will be having Happy Hour combos M-F 2-5PM. Still worth the visit back for the friendly service and fresh food. read more

Great noodles! Liked the place but pricing could be better. Would recommend to anyone loving fried noodles

Food: 10/10 Service: 9/10 I love eating here the noodles are nice and soft a bit small but overall the food is great read more

Review is based on the two dishes for takeout- forgot to order the flat wider noodles and they didn't ask so it comes with the classic round noodles. Was impressed with the two dishes so far will definitely come back. Noodle texture is the most important and they were just right. Not overcooked or undercooked- al dente style which is how this type of noodle is supposed to be, chewy. Broth and stir fried noodles were both tasty. And 10% off cash not sure for how long. read more

I love hand pulled noodles and have tried quite a few spots across North York, Markham/Richmond Hill and downtown Toronto. I was pleasantly surprised to find there was a spot in Aurora. I read a number of good reviews and had to try it for myself. This exceeded all expectations! Dare I say, this is the best hand pulled noodles in the GTA! They have so much variety from soup noodles, dry noodles, stir fried noodles, skewers, Chinese style bun and wraps and more. I highly recommend you try them out! Our favourites were the juicy lamb skewers, the oil spill dry noodles, xinjiang style beef stir fry and beef flank max soup noodle! Each of these dishes were very flavourful! read more

Great service and portions are generous! On one particular Sunday afternoon, my family and I decided to eat out and we've heard from friends that Noodle Max is new and highly recommended. We've ordered two mains and two small side dishes. All four (two adults and two tweens) were satisfied! The gentleman (waiter) was a pleasure to deal with and he explained their menu very well! We will definitely come back again!!! read more

The soup base and handpulled noodles are pretty on point! The beef slices in soup were tasty, but the protein portion is smaller than expected (many beef slices but very thin). read more

OMG this place is ridiculously good. Handmade noodles!? So good. Probably the best noodle soup I've had. Definitely worth going. I had take out but I think next time I'll eat in. Had the pork buns, chicken noodle and beef noodle. All were amazing. Service was so friendly and nice! The interior was modern and clean. This place is my new weekly crave for sure. read more

The noodles have great texture and love the selection of side dishes, especially the liang pi and red bean pastry. Fast and pleasant service as well. Great for a casual dinner. Will definitely come back! read more

First time we went there with my wife, we had a really warm welcome, we loved the service and the most important thing the dry noodle was amazing! The fact they put a lot of garlic in it, made the dish more flavourful and great! I definitely recommend anyone who used to like 3B's in markham to come here... and portion is generous, wonder how much it would if i have add on extra noodles for $1! read more

Fresh noodles. 100% recommend. So glad to have an authentic Chinese noodle place in Aurora!

Very yummy food!! Too hungry and didn't take pictures but have the noodle soup, seafood fried noodle, the cold tofu sheet appetizer and the cold chicken snack! All very yummy! Decent price and great portion! Highly recommended! read more
