I came here at around 3:00 PM on a Saturday, there were tables available, not a big place but does the job for quick turn around businesses.
Immediately I walked in, greeted by the friendly staff who assigned me with a seat. She also quickly pointed out to me that the afternoon tea special is available during the time and day I am here.
The special is $13 + tax for 3 of a kind toppings with a choice of noodles + a hot/cold beverage.
I chose curry fish balls + pork intestine + pork blood with oil noodles.
The broth was clean with some flavour, not too salty which is nice. I like the oil noodles which is al dente, chewy and not soggy, the bowl of noods came quickly and the portion was reasonable.
4 curry fish balls and there were about 6-8 small pork blood cube pieces. The highlight for me was the pork intestine, it's a very difficult and time consuming ingredient, yet the chef took the time to clean the organ as there ain't any bad smell or taste to it, so it was great.
I do prefer they offer more variety of toppings though, if they could offer curry squid or cow mix such as beef stomach, and other beef organs that would be nice, coz they only offer beef tendon brisket at extra $1.00 CDN and sliced beef as other beef option.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the cart noodles flavour, price and service.
I ordered the cold iced lemon tea, cold beverage at no extra charge for this afternoon tea combo which is a major plus.
When I left the resto, I noticed they have menu signs on its windows, I noticed they offered lunch special at $15.99 + tax with a few set noods/rice + a choice of an appetizer + hot/cold drink, pretty good price and options. I will come back to try those.
Some of the items I would like to try in the future would be spicy stir fried squid, de-boned cold chicken feet, bowl son stew, so many snacks that I wanted to try especially the...
Read moreFirst impression while waiting, the smell of real Hong Kong cart noodles!!! Keep your hk characters please, that's what we missed.
Service was very good, friendly, attentive and fast.
The broth is very traditional, exact cart noodles taste like Hong Kong's, and the hot sauce! And low or no msg! That's very important to us, sadly most food in Toronto has way too much msg. So we love this place already!
Food came out extremely fast. All the toppings we had were excellent, broth and noodles as well. Love that they have sweet and sour wheat gluten!!! Thank you for offering that! Pork skin and fish balls are best we've had in Toronto. Shiitaki mushroom are good. Pork intestines are good and cleaned. 鹵水生腸超正,每次必點。炸大腸就 MMD.
Hainanese chicken is not bad too! I always take 1 order home.
The only thing we didn't enjoy was their milk tea, very bland... so we go for iced lemon tea or coffee.
You all have done a great job, keep it up. Thank you so much for bringing real cart noodles to Toronto!
For people comparing the other cart noodles also on hwy 7, this is way more traditional real taste, while the other one is... diff... the other one put more effort in cooking topping separately to make them stands out, they are good... but that's not traditional cart noodles plus they use quite some msg there... we much prefer this place as food taste like what we missed, the real traditional authentic hk...
Read more2023 December 3.5★ A small noodle shop that offers nostalgic HK style noodles and snacks. Expect dishes to come out quick. Almost fast food like and as such, wait times are not long. At most expect at most 30 minutes. There's seating for about 24.
Set A Cart Noodle with Fish Ball/Curry Fish ball, Radish, Beef slices. Choice of Specialty Spicy Sauce. This was ok. The curry fish balls were certainly bouncy. The radish was perfectly soft and flavorful. The beef slices was the right thickness and texture, but wasn't tender enough. Overall, was ok.
Set C Thai Style Chicken Rice The chicken was silky and smooth as expected. Anything less would be bad. The flavors were just right. Would recommend.
Choose your own. 4 topping. Spicy sauce. Pork Skin - ok. A bit thinner but still decent texture. Pork blood - standard. Pork Intestine - this was done very good. Just perfect flavor and chewiness yet tender enough. Spicy Chicken Wing - braised. this was ok.
Side snacks 1.Stuffed peppers and Red Sausage (3pcs) - was good. 2.Deep Fried Fish Skin Very good. Thin and very crunchy. 3.Imitation Shark Fin Soup - pretty good and pretty authentic. Would recommend.
Personally, the spicy soup base was good and choosing your own toppings is much much better than the toppings in the combo. Though the cheaper option is the combo. Items are a hit and miss. But still certainly worth a try and it's not...
