Food is solid 4 or 5 stars if you know what to order: Stir fried noodles (especially chicken) are the best I'd say. Wonton soups also good. +$1 or +$2 extra noodles is great. Other stuff are 3 or 3.5 stars as I'm pretty sure the wings got smaller, and other stuff not as good as when they opened. Could drive 20 minutes to Markham for more options.
Service used to be good, but seems to be constantly changing staff and with that, downhill roll in quality over the past 2 years. Used to have these older waitresses when they opened who were very attentive. Then that big guy who spoke distinctively much better English than all of their staff, attentive service and recommended many dishes to us we tried, that we would otherwise never have tried before.
Then dude was gone and back to typical Chinese restaurant wait staff, but welcoming and at least smiled a bit. Recent visit saw a new waitress, no smiles, no welcoming words, all service is reactive, no service other than reacting to your exact requests. Wasn't even busy. To the owners: your service staff are the most important direct retention/marketing aspect of your business. Don't fall like all the local businesses that neglected...
Read moreLove discovering new local places in the area that I work in! Noodle Max makes delicious food. The team are so well-versed with the menu and love to suggest their favourites. They will not steer you wrong! Logan was great and entertaining.
No pre-packaged, dried or frozen noodle beats just freshly hand-pulled noodles! These noodles are made from wheat flour and distilled water and average 1.5 metres, hence the scissors at the table! You can hear the chef slamming the noodle dough onto the prep table in the background. It’s that CHEWINESS that you get from perfectly cooked just hand-pulled noodles. There is also a lightness to them. The noodle dish is Xinjiang Style Beef Stir Fried Noodle. The beef was super tender and flavourful too. You only see this on Spadina, Downtown! The tightly wrapped fresh pork wonton dumplings were delicious too. The tender shredded pork steamed and then toasted bao (called Pork Mo) is pretty tasty too. I prefer the bao to be just steamed but that’s okay! I’m glad that I tried...
Read moreFound this little gem in Aurora a while back, heard good reviews, and regret that it took me this long to try it out!
Definitely one of the best hand-pulled noodles in the GTA, and probably tops some of the more "well known" restaurants in the country.
Staff are friendly, noodles are fresh (you can hear them being made in the background!), portion sizes are reasonable, prices are just right, and most importantly, their dishes taste just like how they should.
Today I tried their Braised Beef Noodle. It had a nice explosion of umami from the aromatics used, with nicely marbled chunks of beef, and a hint of spiciness that strikes you just enough to go back wanting for more. It was also not overly greasy that happens with many of these dishes.
This restaurant is definitely worth a little trip if you are a...
