The sides are also worth ordering. The fries and fried pork were both delicious and paired really well with a bowl of noodles. I also tried the chicken noodles, but they were quite bland compared to the Sichuan option, so I wouldn't recommend those. One big plus is the value: once you finish your noodles, you can get a refill, which makes it very filling for the price. Service is fast and there's plenty of seating inside. The ambiance is pretty basic and nothing memorable, but it's ideal for a quick meal or grab-and-go. Overall, this place offers great value. The Sichuan noodles and sides are definitely worth getting, especially if you're craving something quick and spicy.

I've tried it many times, pre-pandemic all the way up to today. Even when I first came about 8 years ago it was serving decent food at a reasonable price. And to my pleasant surprise this already good restaurant has evolved into being exceptional. Having not been in a few years (- mind you, I tried a couple of times last year but the lineup was too long and I was too hungry to wait), my latest visit was by far the best one yet. The restaurant has really upped their game; from improved tables, seats, interior decor, to a new electronic waitlist system with some seats for you to sit and wait. To top it all off, the food portions are massive and every dish was delicious and well presented. I can now say this is one of the best Cantonese-style Chinese restaurants Toronto has to offer! Tips: - the presentation and portion size is significantly diminished for take out orders compared to dine in - even though they have an electronic waitlist, do be sure to wait inside or within earshot of the restaurant as they seem to call people by number and don't really have time to be texting or waiting around for people to come back so stick around to secure your table if you can - you won't regret it!

This was a first time for us seeing curry soup dumplings. We decided to give it a try and were pleasantly surprised! I was imagining a thick curry sauce inside but it was more like curry powder/flavour added to the meat so the broth was still soupy and very flavourful. The skin was a little thicker than what I prefer for a soup dumplings but overall it was delicious. Today, they were out of the pork soup dumplings so we tried the beef. For us, we prefer pork because the beef was a bit tough compared to pork and flavour-wise, not what we're used to. The mini soup dumplings were a bite-sized Burt's of flavour. Nice amount of soup inside. One of our favourites was the fried tofu. It came out freshly fried and crispy. The sauce was sweet and sour (vinegar) with chillies. The sauce at the bottom made it for us! We really liked the chewy texture of the noodles in the Dan Dan noodles. It wasn't too spiced so the kids were able to enjoy it as well. We would definitely come back for some more!

The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food is of great quality and amazing portion size. I'm always stuffed whenever I eat here, and they are sensitive to my food allergy to peanuts! I always come here for comfort foods, since the wide variety let's me pick if I want more veggies or more meat in the meal I'm ordering. I try to go whenever I come back from out of town, but sometimes that can be months apart. The food still tasted great today and I still will be a regular here for years to come, even if I move away! What more can I say besides the fact that they have amazingly priced lunch specials between 11am and 3pm? You need to come here if you're a fan of Chinese / Indian "Hakka" cuisine. Worth becoming a regular for, especially if you live in the area!

I have been here 3 times already, and each time I can't help but order the Original Low Sodium Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodle. It's advertised as a healthier option, but the broth does taste more clear than regular. It still has a lot of flavour, which is impressive. I enjoy the amount of toppings that come with it and they do give a hefty bowl of noodles, although there is no refill. I have also tried a few of their appetizers and other dishes, and I would recommend the Sliced Pork Belly & Cucumber with Garlic Sauce and the Soft Tofu and Minced Pork Rice Noodle with Tomato Sauce. Overall, I really enjoy the food here!

Wait list is old school...someone writes your name and number in a notebook and you are called when your table is ready. The interior is reminiscent of the old school taverns you see in those old Chinese movies where the traveller has spent days walking or on a horse and comes upon a tavern where the interior is all wooden tables and benches. Dining style and dishes are all family style. You order a couple of dishes and then add rice. Spice level can be adjusted and even at 'less' the heat level was high. Definitely generous use of Szechwan peppercorns! Food is very flavourful and depending on preference some might find the oil level high. The clientele is mainly Mandarin speaking and if you are Asian they will immediately communicate in Mandarin with you but I did see the staff switch to English where needed. Service was patient and attentive.

Very flavorful and savoury, another great dish to go with rice. Soy Sauce Fried Rice: One of my fav childhood dishes, and they delivered very well. It's such a huge portion that we could only finish it in two days. Service was great, considerate and friendly.
