    It's fun to eat cross bridge rice noodles! They come in small size ingredients in which you add them to the broth and then your noodles. The broth and noodles are delicious. So yummy!

    I got the Beef brisket tomato soup noodles (Tmt Rc Ndl w/ Beef) and it absolutely hit the spot. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the beef was so good. But because it is beef brisket, it is on the fattier side which is not for everybody, but it is for me!! I love that this place offers a lot of side condiments and sauces that you can use to customize your bowl of soup. And of course I would add tons and tons of garlic to make the broth even more flavorful and aromatic. So beefy and tomatoey. The veges come a little on the harder side but the soup is SO hot. Give it some time and it'll soften right up. Tips: - Make sure you COOL down the soup before you drink it. or you WILL burn your tongue! - If you like/put a lot of the side condiments into your soup, ask for a small bowl. Otherwise you are stuck trying to stuff garlic/green onions/cilantro into the small plastic containers they provide!!

    Such an underrated spot! We love coming here for their beef brisket noodles and it hits the spot each time. Each noodle comes with sooo much toppings and a generous amount of meat and it stays piping hot. I also love the unlimited green onions, garlic, and chilli oil they have on the side.

    Xiang Yuan Qiao Bridge Rice Noodles Been a hot minute since I posted Noodles with beef brisket 9.5/10 while the beef brisket was so tender and soft, I prefer the pork intestines! It's hard to get good pork intestine and I like it better because I don't get it as often Ordered dine in but you could get all the toppings as takeout Highly recommend putting the toppings and oils in a smaller bowl so you don't contaminate the whole bowl since it can get oily fast

    Fish Filet Noodle Bowl

    Also known as Cross Bridge Rice Noodle. Xiang Yuan Qiao is a great place to fulfill your soupy noodle cravings. The bowls are huge and your noodles and soup are kept piping hot to the very end because it's served in a cast iron-like bowl - definitely do not touch, it's HOT! We started with Spicy Cucumbers and Spicy Seaweed. Huge portion and it's definitely spicy! Crispy and fresh ingredients. I ordered the Fish Filet Pot Rice Noodle with Original Chicken Soup ($9.75). The noodles came with Black Fungue, Enoki Mushrooms, Bean Sprouts, Bean Curd, Quail Egg and Green Veggies. A very filling and comforting bowl of noodle soup. Best part, you can customize your bowl with ingredients like hot sauces, garlic, cilantro, onions and soy sauce. You self-serve at a station in the center of the restaurant. If you're feeling like you need a very instagramable picture, you can pay an extra $4 and you can get similar meal with a few more ingredients but it's disassembled and you get the pleasure of throwing everything into a boiling pot of soup yourself. But it looks very pretty when it's presented to you, all of the ingredients in its own tiny plate ready for you to cook. Overall, a clean and airy restaurant to enjoy a yummy and well-priced big bowl of piping hot noodle soup.

    My go to place whenever I am craving noodles. My favs to order is their single pots with either beef/fish tofu. The single pots holds generous portion of noodles and veggies with quail egg, black fungus, enoki mushrooms and your choice of protein. I do find that their protein portions are quite small sometimes you get maybe 4-5 slices of beef or 2 fish tofu cube sliced into thin slices. The broth is addicting and flavourful. They also have the option for the more traditional "cross bridge noodles" where they have the pots unassembled for you to do it yourself with instructions. Its a fun experience for your first time and has bigger portion of noodles but its an additional price. They have sauces on the side prepacked due to COVID. I normally get my pots with original broth because I like to get the chili oil on the side to dip and extra green onions. The service is on and off. Sometimes they are kind and helpful but most of the time they are hard to flag down and quite forgetful. A few times I paid for extra items into my pot and they didnt put it in. Honestly the food is what keeps me coming back. Service wise its so mediocre and rarely improves. The 3/5 is solely for the food and if the service was better I would say its a solid 4.5/5. DUE TO COVID: - Tables spaced out - Sanitizers avaliable at each table - No water served. You have to buy bottle water or their drinks which to be honest sucks because the soup almost always burns your tongue. Its a bit absurd so I recommend bringing your own water. -Cross bridge Pots come assembled already. IG: Nomswithabby

    Following Apple map led us to the wrong place so we ended up calling the restaurant for directions. Pros: - They have a good variety of items at reasonable prices $10-$15. - Taste is pretty good. The soup was flavourful, but I found it a tad too salty. However, the portion (of noodles) was quite generous and filling. - Free self serve area for condiments (garlic, green onions, cilantro, chilli oil, and sauce). - Good song playlist XD Cons: - I'm not sure if it was me, but the tea doesn't have tea flavour. It tasted like water. - The presentation of the noodles with picture worthy (all the ingredients put into separate little dishes), but you end up dumping everything into the soup within 15 seconds. - Service needs work! The servers don't smile or seem to like their job. The female server was the worst. We asked for extra napkins and her response was "Huh?" and we had to ask her in Chinese. She brings over two wrinkled up napkins and one had black pen marks. Not sure why you would even give customers dirty napkins. Overall, I think this place isn't bad, but I don't think I would particularly come back. Even if food is decent, service is a dealbreaker.

    This place is awesome! The noodles are as tasty as they look in the photos. We got 2 versions--1 version where its noodle soup in a hot stone bowl, that keeps the noodles soup really hot until you literally finish the bowl of noodles. We also got the other 1 version, where they give you a dish set of ingredients along with a soup in a bowl, and you put in all the ingredients yourself into the bowl. Both versions were delicious! Really great tasting noodles. The soup was fantastic. The ingredients like veggies etc are all fresh, since you can tell because you put it into the soup yourself. I got the spicy soup, which was Actually spicy! The soup was really savory and oily, which was great especially in the winter time. The noodles were soft and slurpy. Lots of meat, veggies and ingredients in the soup as well. The portions are big and will keep you full. The serve staff who work there don't seem to know much about what they were doing. Most of the time they just stand around being shy. It's hard to get them to come take your order, give you napkins etc. But in general they seem kind--for instance one guy saw I was trying to get Wifi, and moved the sign with the Wifi password towards me so I can see it. In general I think they should be less shy about talking to people. Most customers are not bad The decor inside is really brightly lit. Excellent paintings on the wall. The furnishings had shelfs and random candy everywhere, so it feels like someone's actual home, which made the whole place feel comfortable. The tables, seats, cutlery etc. are all clean. Overall, worth coming back again and again

    Cross bridge noodle pot
    Tasha C.

    I really wanted to give this place a try after seeing photos of their gigantic noodle pots on my newsfeed. Upon arrival, I was told that there would be a minimum forty to sixty minute wait for three. Given that a) this place only has two Yelp reviews and b) I was feeling super hangry, I was taken aback but figured it'd at least be decent or it wouldn't be so bumping. They have a few different noodle pots offered, the most popular being individual cross bridge noodle pots and communal noodle pots. The individual ones are a huge bubbling vat of broth, accompanied with an assortment of sixteen toppings and your choice of carbs. It's pretty reminiscent of individual style hotpot or shabu shabu, and runs about $12 with your choice of meat (lamb/beef). We ordered one of these because my mom liked the novelty of all the different toppings. It was good but if I came alone, I'd probably order one of their plain individual pots, which are far cheaper in the $6-9 range a pop. We also ordered a communal noodle pot for two ($20). They make them for groups of up to five, with number of toppings of your choice increasing as your pot size gets larger. This is what I'd probably come back for because portions were huge. For our three toppings (veggies come included), we got chicken, fish tofu and basa filet in the clear broth. We barely made a dent in our pot and I found the overall quality of ingredients to be good. Definitely make use of their self serve condiments, really kicks the flavour up a notch when you add in fresh cilantro/garlic and chili oil. Overall decent cheap eats, not sure if I would wait a full hour for a table but it's a nice alternative to the usual fish soup combos if you're craving noodles. Minus one star for cleanliness/service but that's to be expected in most overly busy/understaffed Chinese joints.

    Not a very good experience at the first time to visit. Sorry. Their service wasn't good. The staff is lack of training (eg. take plates away when customer is working on adding ingredients into the hot bowl; didn't mention the bowl is very hot; always need customer to ask for adding the tea/water into the cup...). The food is just so so, some ingredients like cucumber and mushroom were not looked fresh. The red bean mike tea tasted not made from real tea, like made from mike tea powder.

    I found this place when I saw Instagrammers posted pictures of their "Insta-worthy" noodles with 14 different side dishes. It does look pretty in pictures when you put all these different sides in small plates. But once you put everything in a noodle bowl, it tastes just like any other noodle soups you can find in Chinese restaurants. Their service wasn't great. Definitely under staffed. The servers kept speaking Chinese to me even though I didn't understand a word they said, and my friend had to translate everything for me. We ordered Milk Tea and we thought it would be the first thing we'd get. They brought the appetizer spicy cucumbers, my noodles, my friend's noodles, but no milk tea. We asked the server for milk tea, but it didn't come. We asked another server for it again, but it didn't come. So then we asked another server and finally it came. Would I go back? Hmmm maybe, only because it's close to my place and a bowl of noodles for $9 isn't bad. But their service needs some improvement.

    Special lamb noodle WITHOUT THE LAMB. Tofu and chicken feet added at home within own bowl (take out).
    Jason N.

    Overall, a standard Chinese noodle place for an ok price (~$10). Make sure they give you your meat!!! ----- Came here on a recommendation by my aunt for good noodles and ordered some take out to bring home to eat. Cool decorations on the inside, smelled delicious, with a huge selection of meats to go with your noodles. We ordered the pork rib "regular noodle" (~$10) and the lamb "special noodle" (~$15). Came home, reheated the noodles an hour later and found out THEY DIDN'T GIVE US THE LAMB MEAT!! We paid $15 for some noodles, soup, and bits of vegetable. Someone probably made a mistake, but it's really too bad for us. This is why I'm giving this place 1 star, instead of maybe a 3 star. The pork ribs were quite tasty, the chicken stock was quite regular, but I did like the variety of vegetable bits, including the little (quail?) egg, bamboo shoots, mushrooms. The "special" version soup did taste a little better - more mild, more "clear" and less msg (?) but was not worth the extra $5 even if it did come with meat. We ended up adding our own tofu and chicken feet, which does NOT normally come with the meal. If I were to come again (which I might), I'd get just the regular noodle and make sure they gave us our meat!!

The Lanzhou beef soup noodles had that unmistakable chew and pull you only get with fresh dough, soaking up a clean, comforting broth seasoned with cilantro, scallions, and white radish slices. The beef slices were tender, though the broth itself was on the milder side until spooning in a healthy scoop of table chili oil. The beef roll was another highlight, flaky, layered pancake wrapping tender five-spice beef shank, fresh cilantro, and sweet hoisin. The only small hiccup was the xiao long bao: the filling was flavorful, but the skins were a bit thick and doughy at the top twist. The Service Casual, warm, and very much a family-run operation. We were seated right away, hot tea arrived within a couple of minutes, and orders were taken without delay. The food comes out in waves as it's ready, so your noodles might land before the appetizers, but the staff are polite, attentive with water refills, and keep the small dining room moving efficiently.

What blew me away was the biang biang soup, the pork pieces were generous and the vinegarness of the soup was very unique. The paomo had vermicelli and lots of soaked bread pieces and lamb: much more gentle and lamb flavoured. Overall, portions were huge and the bill came out to around $55 for everything which was more than reasonable! Note that if your bill is under $30, they only take cash and if over, debit is an option but no credit. I'll definitely be back to this spot ‍

    this space brings back a little nostalgia. it used to be one of our go to spots for dim sum when…read moreit was south ocean. today, it's home to pho anh vu, an ontario based vietnamese chain that has made its way to richmond on garden city road. the dining room is spacious, bright, and inviting, with plenty of tables for both small and larger groups. two cherry blossom trees wrapped in warm lights immediately caught my eye, while tropical murals and woven basket pendant lights add warmth and character to the space. it feels modern, comfortable, and much brighter than i remember. i ordered the bun thit nuong cha gio, a generous bowl of vermicelli topped with smoky grilled pork, a crispy spring roll, fresh herbs, cucumber, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, and a side of fish sauce to pour over everything. the grilled pork had a beautiful caramelized char, while the spring roll added a satisfying crunch and extra layer of texture. my partner ordered the com ga nuong, featuring two pieces of grilled chicken over broken rice with a light salad and a side of house fish sauce. the chicken was juicy with nicely charred grill marks, and the broken rice did a great job soaking up all the savoury flavours. don't skip the pickled garlic on the table. it adds a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness of the grilled meats and gives each bite a little extra pop. both dishes were generous, filling, and packed with flavour. if i had one observation, it would be that the seasoning leaned a little on the salty side, and i found myself reaching for my water more than once. the menu is more focused than many vietnamese restaurants. if you're hoping for favourites like banh mi, banh xeo, or banh khot, you'll need to look elsewhere. the drink selection is fairly limited as well, so the emphasis here is clearly on pho, vermicelli bowls, broken rice, and a handful of classic vietnamese comfort dishes. a couple of things worth knowing before you go: the restaurant accepts cash or debit only, so leave the credit card in your wallet. if you're visiting after 6:00 pm, complimentary parking is available, just remember to register your licence plate at the tablet near the entrance before you sit down. overall, pho anh vu serves satisfying vietnamese comfort food in a beautifully refreshed space. while i still have fond memories of south ocean, it's nice to see this location begin a new chapter. if you're craving grilled meats, vermicelli bowls, broken rice, or a comforting bowl of pho, it's worth adding to your list.

    Grabbed lunch here with my wife and daughter today, and as always, I had to get my usual: the Beef…read moreRib Noodle Soup. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. The broth is so flavorful and the beef is always fall-off-the-bone tender. Just a heads up, they do run out of the ribs so try to get here early if you would like to try it. The last couple of times we've come, the beef ribs were a bit smaller than they used to be, but they were awesome about making up for it. Last visit they threw in an extra rib, and today they gave us this massive extra bone loaded with tendon. I loved it. My wife was too shy to use her hands to eat it, so hey, bonus piece for me! Aside from the food, the service here is amazing. Everyone is super attentive and friendly. The vibe is really comforting to, it's way more spacious than your typical cramped pho restaurant. Parking is free during lunch, but you have to register your car if you're here after 6pm. It's cash or debit only.
