A very affordable noodle restaurant in Markham! They have really good lunch, dinner, and all day combos. Lots of seating inside, and the food and service were fast. I ordered the following: - P3 combo (cold noodle with sesame sauce) comes with 4pcs pork baos and drink ($15.99) - 8/10, very filling, sesame soup was good, noodles were chewy, and the cucumber and bean sprouts paired well with everything. - C9: Chinese Bun ($3.50) - 8/10, crispy dough with lots of meat filling inside. We will definitely be coming back to try their other combos out. read more

Thought the food here was OK. I got the potato noodles + dumplings + drink (soda) combo for ariund $17 which is not bad! the dumplings were decent and the noodles were not bad. There isn't a lot of English however so it might be difficult to read the menu. Found it not bad but not super eager to go back. read more

Amazing restaurant serving northwestern comfort foods! The service is wonderful and the staff really make you feel like you're eating at your aunty's house. Staff can speak both Mandarin and English, so don't hesitate to try this restaurant! The restaurant is not too busy most of the time, so you'll likely be able to walk-in easily. Their menu items are all packed with umami flavour, with many options for spicy and non-spicy lovers! Soups have a rich bone broth with many dishes being noodle-based. They have a wide variety of proteins from beef to chicken to lamb to tofu, so there's something for everyone. We had their new combo specials that come with 4 fried chicken wings and a drink--it's such a good deal! Food portion is large and so delicious, and at such a great price of $15-17 each set! Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Northwestern Chinese Cuisine - Daily special combo: pork ribs ramen in soup set - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I was craving a soupy noodle that is so hot it burns my mouth and this definitely hits the spot haha. As the weather gets chillier I am constantly craving hot noodle soups and glad I stumbled into this one. I have seen it around as it is a chain and they are known for their potato noodles but they also carry ramen, rice noodles, and different other types as well. We got the pork intestine potato noodle that came with shredded bean curd skin and kelp and the lamb slices potato noodle. The pork intestine one had a stronger broth perhaps due to the marination of the intestines. The lamb soup was more clear and refreshing. Overall portions were pretty good and there were a lot of noodles. The potato noodle texture is chewy and I really enjoyed them. I will be back to try their other noodles for sure! read more

This is such a tiny little restaurant, the door is hidden amongst all the covered windows. BUT don't let this unassuming place pass you by, it's actually pretty good! Service was good and quick. No complaints here. - Chinese hamburger: literally just filled with tender pork belly goodness. Dip it in the black vinegar to take some of the greasiness away. - Cold sesame chicken noodles: superrrr good! The sauce is slightly sweet, nice sesame flavour, and a good amount of boneless pieces of chicken. - Multi grain fish rice noodle in special soup: also good! The fish soup is delicious - great on a cold day. read more

Spot review: northwestern_chinese_cuisine beef pancakes was always my favourite dish here, but I always get the pancake so I want to try something different. I heard the noodles are good so I decided to try the cold noodles and the potato noodles. I really like the cold noodles because of the flavour and if you can't finish it you could easily store it for the next day. (1st picture) The potato noodles is very interesting and it does lack a little bit of flavour especially the one that I got. The noodles are very slippery and chewy (Second pic) However you should not sleep on their pancake! It's so good trust me IG: asianbaebites read more

Surprisingly good local noodle joint. They have two locations, one in p mall (or Pacific Mall). This one is their second location and the noodles are on point. We ordered the mixed organ lamb soup (羊杂汤) with nan bread, the potato noodles with little pork (small pieces of braised pork belly), and marinated pork trotters. Overall the soup was extremely flavourful and simply soul warming and the pig trotters were cooked well, really gelatinous. Definitely recommend to try this place out. The mixed lamb organs soup (sounds daunting but is quiet delicious) was cooked for a long period of time and seemed to have extracted the essence of lamb into the soup. The organs were not gamey at all and quiet enjoyable. What also pleasantly surprised was was the nan bread that came with the soup, because it was really crispy on the outside which added another layer of texture to the dish. The potato noodles with little meat was also really good. At first glance i was dismissive of the noodles because they seemed too soft which often meant it had no chew nor flavour, however it was not the case here. The noodles not only had really good chewiness but was able to absorb decent enough of the broth's flavor. Lastly the little pieces of pork belly seemed initially very fatty but once u ate one, it didn't feel too fatty at all and just simply made you want another bite. The pig trotters were good and gelatinous but nothing too spectacular here. Overall a really good place for a bite to eat, only complaint was that the service was a bit slow and there wasn't enough protein on the menu (i know this is a noodle joint, but a carnivore can hope) read more

Nothing wrong with the food this is based on my experience only. I wanted to get the multigrain fish noodle with lamb soup but instead I got cold chicken noodles. I called ahead to order takeout with the number on their online menu. Got home and found out their online menu is different than in-store, the styrofoam holding the sauce was also crushed, all the sauce leaked. It was a pain in the ass to clean up I just threw it straight to the trash. Language barrier is a struggle :'( read more

Northwestern Chinese Cuisine - A spilled mess of cold chicken noodles - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Me and my mom ordered the same dishes. My mom got one which had very little portion and less fish balls and without eggs. I asked the waitress for a change. The waiter says she can only add an egg. I ask other waitress who looks like a manager for a change. She took both my mom and my dishes back to kitchen. After their loud discussion in the kitchen, the chef came out with full gear( hair net and apron) yelled at me saying there volume was right and challenged me to weigh them. I got so angry and don't want to eat so I decided to take the bill and go but they charged me for all three dishes which they took away so I asked for them to be packed to go. When I opened the packed dishes I compared them in front of the second waitress and asked them to issue a refund. read more

Noodles were pretty good, although my personal preference is to have hot noodles so the Chicken Cold Noodle with soup was a bit odd (but not bad when it is reheated at home). The place is very clean and service is quite prompt. Although it is difficult to find parking, especially on the weekend. read more

Overall, 3.5 for me (doesn't deserve a full 4 stars). Came here on a Sunday afternoon with the restaurant full, we had a short wait. The restaurant is new and clean so no complaints. Service was poor but I never expect much at a these type of Chinese restaurants. Food overall was good but not amazing. Beef brisket potato noodles 4/5: I had the beef brisket potato noodles. First time having it and was satisfied. The brisket was tender and the portion size was good. Tofu 2.5/5: We also ordered a side of tofu which I did not enjoy. There was way too much flavouring on it. I won't be dying to come back but I would recommend trying if you're a noodles fan. read more

OMFG NEW GEM IN MARKHAM ALERT!!!! This was unbelievably good. This place is run by people that only speak mandarin, so communication is a little difficult if you don't got yo' asian friends with ya. It's great that they have pictures on their menu though, and it's even more great that the food that comes out looks exactly like the picture. They have a lot of choices to choose from, even for vegetarians & vegans! Cold sesame noodles?! Yes please. The star of the show were potato noodles, which were amazingly chewy and had a great texture to them. They were so good, and my slurp game is so strong. I wanted more and more. The soup base was delicious & extremely flavourful. My friend who took me here told me the potato noodles were so good that she thinks about it sometimes when she's at home.. she ain't lying but I would be if I said that they weren't on my mind right now. Seriously, suuuuuch a gem. We had the thick handpulled noodles as well and those were sooo delish with the right amount of sesame and spice. It's great to find cold noodles in the area that isn't naeng myun; what a pleasant change. Oh yeah, did I mention the portions could feed a small army? We had 3 noodle bowls shared upon 3 people and we couldn't even finish it to the last drop. AND the bill came out to only around $23. Like, what? This place is 100% going to blow up because I've never had something so simple, unique and delicious in a bowl of noodle soup in all my years of living in foodie central (markham) Y'all better visit this place before the line starts piling out the door. read more

This place is a little gem in Markham! I never knew this place existed because it's kinda tucked in beside Cha Me Cha and ZenQ. My favourites are the chicken cold noodles with sesame sauce and the three-coloured vermicelli. The cold noodles are very refreshing and the sauce is very well made. I like vermicelli in general, but I find the ones here because they have three different colours (brown, yellow, white). I don't really like the potato noodles as they're too thick and chewy for my liking. The service here is average, but they don't really speak anything other than mandarin. read more

I have been here a few times to try the different types of noodles and small dishes. however one time i walked in and this place smelled like stinky feet. The noodles are good with large portions and good price. the service is none at all, there is already a pot of tea on the table. As well the layout of the restaurant is not very user friendly/comfortable (especially the narrow tables in the middle. read more

Solid 3 star restaurant, quality and taste is consistent. I've tried various potato noodles here. The noodles are quite chewy and filling, and because they're served in a stone pot, it keeps the heat in for a long time. The broth is very hearty and flavourful. I don't feel very thirsty after I eat here. I also like that they have seaweed and bean curd in the noodles; it's got a good mix of textures with the noodles. I usually order the one with shredded duck. My friends enjoy the one with beef brisket. The meat is tender and well marinated. The only complain they have is that they could be a little more generous with the meat portions. The restaurant is pretty clean, compared to other diners. Service is quick. However, parking can be tricky because this complex is always busy. read more

3.5 Star I am happy with the success of Potato Noodle of Bai https://www.yelp.ca/biz/potato-noodle-soup-of-bai-markham for them to open up their 2nd location. From a food stall in Pacific Mall to now a real eat in restaurant! I ordered my usual A1 Potato Noodle in Soup ($6.99). Seemed like they toned down their spiciness quite a lot. Maybe I need to ask for extra spicy next time? which they have that option in the Pacific Mall location. But I still enjoy the chewiness of the potato noodle! A solid place for some noodle slurping if you love to enjoy a bowl of noodle. read more

We took a peek into what seemed like a small noodle joint but saw that it was quite spacious and decided to go in. The kids like noodles so this was a good choice. They have all types of noodles from knife cut noodles to ramen to yam noodles and thick rice noodles. We tried the knife cut noodles with pork and unfortunately we were so eager to try that we forgot to take photos! It was a very generous portion with semi chewy noodles. The cold sesame chicken noodles was different from what we expected as it had a slight kick to the sauce and was lighter. I preferred this to the soupy noodle. The kids shared a chicken ramen (between 3 kids) and it was more than enough. We had also ordered the minced pork ramen and it went untouched so we packed it up. We also tried the "hamburger" which didn't taste vinegary at all. It was quite tasty actually! Overall, this was a nice find! We will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

I came here a while ago but I forgot to post a review. Ordered the beef brisket with potato noodles. The noodles in my opinion were too chewy almost the point that they were raw and undercooked. Overall the dish was nothing really special just soup, pieces of beef brisket, and chewy potato noodles. Wouldn't really come back. Not that impressed with the food. read more

We tried out most of the restaurants in Langham and this was one of the restaurants we had yet to eat in. Service: We came here at peak hours for dinner, so out wait time to be seated was around six minutes. They regularly serve hot tea and cold water, but to my surprise not hot water; they had to refill a teapot with water to do so. Cold water was served in serviceable yet unclean plastic cups. Otherwise, service was quick and decen. Atmosphere: The restaurant itself was of moderate size and its decor simple, consisting of potted plants and Chinese banners on the walls. Overall, nothing dinghy that retracts from the eating experience, but nothing exceptional either. Food: I ordered the braised pork noodle soup and shared "Chinese burgers" with our group of five. I appreciated the noodles as they were succulent and the broth was hearty. The burgers could do with some improvement; they were quite dry. Regardless, the portions were huge and quickly whetted our appetites. Overall, I can confirm that this place is certainly a restaurant that exists; it's an authentic Chinese restaurant just like the rest of them, but it's still a decent option. read more

I really enjoy potato noodles ever since I tried them at PMall several years back. They are the ULTIMATE comfort food - in saying this; do not expect a lot of meat in your food because it's really a hit or miss. We ALWAYS get the same thing 1. Pork Intestine with Potato Noodle: My sister always gets this. 2. Multi-Fish Grain Noodle with Shredded Duck in Special Soup: My absolute fave. The noodles are chewy, the soup is savoury, and the veggies are crunchy. Finding meat in your bowl is kind of like digging for gold. 3. Lamb Ramen: I think this is what got my boyfriend to really fall in love with noodle soups. Pretty good portion of protein here but sometimes too fatty for his taste. I always take his extra veggies (bamboo shoots, black fungus). I'm usually soooo full (maybe from MSG?) I skip dinner. I also re-heat the soup the next day to boil veggies in. The prices are really good right now during quarantine as they're offering a discount. read more

This place is always packed. We got here around 1pm and the wait was about 15 minutes. The food was excellent and the noodles were great. So chewy :) We ordered way too many noodles. Nom nom nom. Definitely order the potato noodles or the special broth. read more

If I was only rating for food, I would give them 5 stars. Their pork-intestine multi-grain noodles are my go-to and I find myself craving it several times a year. However, the service and overall ordering experience of my last encounter left a sour taste in my mouth. I called in to order take-out in English and thought that it would be easiest to order by item number. I found the menu on their official website and ordered by telling them the item numbers, and I ordered a F5, C4 and C6. Since they also have a S5, I wanted to confirm that what I was ordering was the "multi-grain rice noodle with pork intestines in special soup". The first employee I spoke to on the phone then had to ask another lady to speak with me only to tell me: "i don't know what you're talking about". After a lot of struggles, I finally got my confirmation that I was getting my pork-intestine multigrain noodles. This didn't bother me TOO much. The real problem came when I received my food. BUYERS BEWARE: THE ONLINE MENU ITEM NUMBERS DO NOT MATCH THEIR IN-STORE MENU. I found this out the hard way when I received my food and the only thing that was right in my order was my pork-intestine multigrain noodles that I had confirmed with the full item name. I thought I was ordering the chinese hamburger and chicken cold noodle with sesame when I ordered a C4 and C6, but I actually received two random dishes because their in-store menu has C4 and C6 as two other noodle dishes. There is nothing worse than having an intense craving and to be disappointed upon opening the bags :( . I still enjoyed my noodles, but my poor boyfriend was stuck with something that he didn't like. read more

Came here around 6:00 for an early dinner. Nothing special about the ambience or service, basic restaurant, good for in and out meal. Food Chicken cold noodle with sesame 4stars (recommend) Very appetizing dish. Portion quite decent, I liked the ratio of noodles, meat and cucumber. Sesame sauce is delicious as well. Esp good for the summer. Sliced lamb fish noodles 3.5 stars (recommend) There are three types of noodles mixed together. First time I have seen this, very interesting texture. The broth is good, but nothing too special. Side: chicken legs 2.5 stars (not recommend) Not worth for the price. Portion is small and I didn't like the spice used to marinate the chicken. read more

3 stars at best. I was happy to hear this place opened up since the food court location (at Pacific Mall) was tasty and extremely good but finding a spot to sit was tough. But unfortunately it does not compare to its original location. I ordered the usual A1 Spicy Potato Noodle Soup, the texture of the noodles were good (same quality as the food court location) and chewy. However, the flavours were not as impressive. It was a lot less spicy in comparison and the broth seemed slightly watered down. In terms of portion it was smaller as well but there was fair amount of fish balls and vegetables. Service was horrible here. The servers looked so unhappy while working here, no smile or much of a greeting. On each table, there were menus and a piece of paper to write your order down. It wasn't very busy during lunch around 1PM and we still had a hard time getting a hold of the server. The servers mostly talked among themselves. I was surprised because the lady at the other location was super friendly, explained the different noodle textures and was definitely more welcoming. Aside from service, I would possibly come back and hope for a better experience. read more

[3.5/5] Looks like a small place from the outside, but has good amount of seating inside. Nice decor and fairly snug spacing. Came here to try the potato noodles as the pictures I've seen look so appetizing. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. The value is decent, around $10 for a bowl of noodles that will fill you up. A great place to come if you like noodles and want to try something a bit different. The food: Lamb potato noodles - the amount of meat was lacking. I really enjoyed the soft yet firm and some what slippery texture of the noodles. They definitely had weight to them and was filling. The broth was subtle yet tasty and had unmistakable lamb flavour. Chef's special cold noodle - I didn't know that this dish had no meat (had bean sprouts and nuts), but it was great nevertheless. The sauce was a tasty combination of sweet and spicy. The nuts added crunchy texture to the soft noodles. Spicy fried tofu - would not order this again. The spicy, herbal-like, oily sauce was not appetizing at all. And the tofu was drenched in it... Chinese pork hamburger - this is a great side to try. The pork filling had soft fall-apart texture similar to tuna sandwich filling. The bun was nicely warmed, crusty exterior, soft interior. Summary -food prepared quickly -variety of noodle options -potato noodle texture is great -avoid the spicy fried tofu read more

I think this is one of the better Chinese noodle places that seem to be gaining popularity. The signature "potato noodle" is a thick starchy chewy glass noodle similar to what you get in some Vietnamese restaurants. I personally love chewy noodles so it was enjoyable but I don't think it's for everyone. I had the shredded duck broth which had good flavour intensity, and the portion was decent. My only complaint is the noodles were cooked unevenly and some parts were not transparent yet and difficult to chew. I also tried another spicy chicken ramen which had a really good kick and very different flavours than the duck broth. read more

One of my favourite noodle spots in Markham! They offer a variety of types of noodles, but you have to try their potato noodles. Their potato noodles are very unique, they're plump and chewy. The only negative thing I have to say is that it seems like they use the same soup base for a lot of their noodles, but their meat flavours the soup. Sometimes the noodles end up tasting similar to one another even if they're different flavours. The shredded duck potato noodles and pork intestine potato noodles are my favourite. Their chicken cold noodles in sesame sauce are amazing as well, very refreshing and flavourful. Note: they only accept debit over $10! read more

Like many other restaurants, Bai (for short) offers a variety soup base to go with your noodles. However, the variety in specialty noodles is what makes Bai different. They've got hand cut noodles, potato noodles, they even have noodles made out of fish (at least that's what the menu says in chinese). That's what I got. Noodles made of fish. It was not as good as the potato noodles which was more chewy, but the fish soup base made up for that. I don't mind coming back again if I was in the area. read more

I'm not entirely sure, but Pacific Mall has a store on the 3rd floor that closely resembles this one. The name of that food court stall is Potato Noodle Soup of Bai. The reason I clumped the 2 together is for their special noodles called 'Potato Noodles'. Imagine your normal rice noodles, slightly thicker, and with a clear casing surrounding it all. Upon slurping these noodles, you will find that they are extremely chewy. What makes it yummy is that they absorb the soup's flavour quite well at the cost of extra muscular effort lols. I'm gonna be honest with you, those noodles aren't for me, and yet I can see how other people might like it. While my boyfriend and I both ordered beef brisket noodles, they definitely displayed some inconsistencies. The sliced noodles are easier to eat and my boyfriend preferred this. His noodle soup (Potato Noodles) was served in a hotter bowl where the broth was super warm and the meat was tender. I do think this place could use a bit of quality check since the meat from my bowl was not as tender and the soup was average at best. The soup that my boyfriend had gave more taste to the tongue, resembling that of Pork Bone Soup or even Tonkatsu flavour. Sometimes when we dine, we notice the little things. I like how they give you a pot of tea because who wants to keep asking for refills lol. The tables are pretty spacious, you don't need to sit knee-to-knee like the noodle places in Downtown Toronto. Overall I think this noodle joint could have been better, I would have given it an 8/10 if their consistencies held up. Beef brisket is a big part of the dish, how can it be tough in one and tender in the other? Too bad. read more

A visitor is coming, who likes noodles. So I am doing a bit homework, checking some noodle places out. This is an okay noodle place.

Overall - 3.5/5.0 This place features a very spacious and clean environment. Service was also attentive and friendly. Tried their beef brisket potato noodles and it was pretty good. The texture was super chewy and the beef brisket was very tender. The soup base is fairly clean - it is not oily at all but it had quite a strong peppery taste. It reminded me of the pig stomach soups that you get at chiu chow joints. Not to say that it was not good but I prefer to have a more well rounded and savoury soup base. It is definitely something good to have to warm yourself up on a cold winters day. I will have to come back to try their other noodles as they have quite a variety to choose from on their menu. read more

came here from my friends recommendation and I came to this store before in pmall and really enjoyed the potato noodles However I wanted to try something new and got the beef brisket sliced noodle and braised pork sliced noodle. the noodles were a good texture and the soup had good flavours. the pork and beef were both well cooked and had good taste to it. both of the bowls were $9.99 and had really good portions my friend got the pork hamburger which was $4 and although it was tasty you get one split in half so pretty pricey The service however was slacking as the waitresses did not smile and also had little understanding of English.

Chicken Cold Noodle with Sesame: (score:4.5/5.0) the sesame sauce tastes really good, it is rich of sesame. The noodle texture is good, not too soft nor too hard. It also has a lot of vegetables and chicken. The only negative comment that I have is it is not cold enough. Chinese Hamburger: (score:3.8/5.0) The meat is like pulled pork and the bun is the hard shell bun. I was expecting the taste of the meat will standout, i.e. the meat is marinated with a stronger taste but it is not. It doesn't taste bad, just a bit plain in taste. read more

First time trying this place at this location! Northwestern Chinese Cuisine serves mainly noodle dishes! At an average of approximately $7-$9 per bowl, these dishes were fairly large for one person. so it was absolutely worth it in my opinion! The place was fairly spacious, with plenty of tables and chairs. From the menu, it's sorted out by a variety of noodle types and or flavours. I got the beef brisket rice noodle in soup. After placing the order, the order came out moderately quickly. The soup wasn't blaring hot, which was nice, but hot enough to stay warm on a cold winter day. All in all, the prices for Northwestern Chinese Cuisine were decent for such a large bowl of noodles. It would be a nice warm dinner or lunch on a cold day! read more

Have tried both their new location in Markham and the one at Pacific mall. I have to say both are good but the location in Markham is a restaurant so seating is better. Food: Great texture of noodles, it was chewy and the broth was good. I've tried the one with beef brisket and their house special. The house special one tasted good but by the time I finished the bowl, I thought it was too salty for me. The beef brisket one was tender and delicious. Decor: Very loud and casual place. Tables are placed very close to each other so you're going there for the food. Service is okay, nothing exceptional to note. The servers speak mandarin but they give you a paper to write down what you want to order. read more

If I could use one word to describe this restaurant, it would be "chewy". Located at the Langham Square plaza beside Cha Me Cha, the name of this gem doesn't instantly give away that it is a noodle soup restaurant. Came here on a Saturday night and there were plenty of seats available (the -2 C weather (in April) probably affected the crowd). Because we were literally the only customers there aside from 3-4 other tables, we started getting nervous that we made the wrong choice. Totally had low expectations and when the food came out, gotta say we were surprised at how good it actually was! What we got: - Beef brisket potato noodle soup - Pork ribs special soup with noodle Noodles were super "Q" and perfectly chewy. Never had chewier noodles in Toronto. Noodles were way better than Magic Noodle, Dagu, Deer Garden, you name it. Soup broth was not your typical MSG or salt-heavy base, it had a unique flavour to it. The special soup definitely stood out as well. Service was friendly and relatively quick for the potato noodle soup item, however it took another 4-5 mins for the special soup to come out. Not sure why the two items didn't come out together given it wasn't busy at all. Will definitely return to try: chicken cold noodle with sesame and the shaved noodle soup options. read more

Walking into the restaurant, it was a little awkward because the staff didn't come to greet us so we just gestured we were a party of two and chose a table for ourselves. I thought that it was awkward that we were given only one menu to share while the table next to us (also a two-party) each received one menu. What's up with that? The Beef Brisket Potato Noodle in Soup was quite good. The potato noodles were very chewy and were semi-transparent. I really enjoyed the tenderness of the beef brisket; they weren't rough at all! The soup was very fragrant and I suspect again that they used a lot of MSG in it. The second bowl of noodles, the Seafood Rice Noodle in Soup, were similar in portion and served also in a black bowl reminiscent of Korean hot stone bowls. The soup broth in this was more clear and smelled of seafood. The rice noodles were average and bouncier when compared to the potato noodles. There were five shrimps in there and two half-fish balls. I guess five shrimps and one fish ball are considered "seafood". ... Needless to say, I will not be running back to this restaurant. The service was quite bad and while the noodles were much more decent this time than the first experience, I wasn't a huge fan of the experience in general. read more
