Noodle King — Restaurant in Toronto

I luv Noodle King. Prior to the pandemic, it's my GO TO PLACE for lunch. It's a long line up during lunch time back then coz it's good value, tasty and worth the wait. Best yet, the owner is very courteous and he is very flexible, you can mix whatever meat you want on your noodles and he is ok with it. Of course, as long as you are willing to pay, you can plug in whatever meat you want. One time I didn't feel like eating bok choy and he subsituted with broccoli, which I appreicated.

Most often, I am amazed how good a memory the owner is of what people order as he moves the line very quick. Although this place is a food court, it serves many food items way better than many other Chinese restaurants.

There are so many food items that is my favourite:

Spicy beef brisket ho fun Soy chicken rice noodles BBQ Pork + Tofu Sometimes I like to add in extra pork dumplings or tofu, so many choices and variations

I visited my work office one day and decided to check if Noodle King is still there and it was, so I decided to order the BBQ Pork + Pork Dumplings with ho fun, so good! One of the best in Toronto. I will miss this place since I won't be back in office...

Noodle King, located in the food court under Sheraton Hotel, offers a no-frills and straightforward ordering system. Open only during the workweek, the food court unit, along with one other shop, keeps the retro food court busy during lunchtime. Despite the potential for long lines, the efficient 4-staff team ensures a fast-moving queue. Would come back for a quick noodle soup if we are in the area!

When it comes to ordering, customers can specify their choice of protein, soup base (with spicy options available), and noodles or rice. Payment is made at the end, with credit cards being accepted. The prices are reasonable for downtown, making it a decent choice for lunch. During our visit, we ordered two noodle soups, shrimp wonton with vermicelli and fish balls with vermicelli. The soup noodles are well-cooked, with well-seasoned and flavorful soup, reminiscent of Hong Kong-style cuisine. The shrimp wontons and fish balls are generously portioned and tasty. Also, we ordered BBQ duck on rice, which was topped with vegetables and a flavorful sauce similar to the...

Five stars for this hidden gem in the Sheraton Hotel's food court, accessible via the PATH!

This unassuming eatery serves up delicious, fresh, and authentic grub, paired with friendly and efficient service, all at a great value. No fancy fusion nonsense here - just pure, unadulterated flavor!

Their wonton, chicken, BBQ pork/duck, and noodles (oh, those springy egg noodles!) are all made with love and care. And don't even get me started on the broth - it's like a flavor bomb just waiting to delight your taste buds!

Despite being a popular spot, the service is lightning-fast, and the owners have mastered the art of efficiency. It's no wonder they survived the pandemic unscathed!

The food court itself may be small and a bit dated, but don't let that deter you - this place is a diamond in the rough. And who needs fancy modern decor when the food is this good? So, venture off the beaten path and give it a try - your taste buds...
