Healthy Noodle House — Restaurant in Vancouver

There are so many things to love about this place.

Firstly, the food (customizable noodle soup) was delicious. I especially loved the unpretentious way that my bowl of noodle soup allowed its great flavor to speak for itself. Speaking of flavor, their homemade chilli sauce was to die for. It is apparently possible to buy some separately to take home, but they were all sold out when I went (no surprise there). Needless to say, I will be back to grab a jar for myself.

Secondly, the atmosphere (that of a small and tidy family-run restaurant) was extremely pleasant. I find it a bit weird even to call this place a "restaurant," as it felt at times as if I were being fed from an old friend's home kitchen.

In fact, the whole experience was reminiscent of countless amazing home-cooked meals I've had at friends' houses in Shanghai: no unnecessary frills-- just quality comfort food made by quality people. I almost stopped myself from writing this review for fear of attracting further attention to this truly beautiful and (relatively) hidden gem, but as someone before me noted, this place...

This is one of my favorite restaurants ever. I have been coming here since 2007. Colin owner and chef, makes absolutely everything from scratch (vegan gluten free broth, dumplings, and his signature hot sauce). This is really important to me since I have anaphylactic allergies and there are only 5 restaurants I’m able to eat at. I know exactly what I’m putting into my body. I don’t have to worry about cross contamination. Here, you are getting good quality, clean, healthy, delicious food. I love how you can customize your order. If you are feeling under the weather, this is the perfect place to boost your immune system. I always feel good after eating his food. This is a family owned soup restaurant. I cannot seem to say enough how great this place is as I have been a long term customer. If you are curious, give it a try. You will not be...

If you don’t want to feel sluggish after a bowl of hot noodle soup, this is the place to be. Little place to grab quick, tasty, and wholesome lunch/snack! You definitely taste the crisp and freshness of the vegetables, and the broth is flavourful but still light enough that you can actually finish. The pork dumplings also tasted fresh with no deep-freezer smell, and we HIGHLY recommend adding some of the house-made chilli sauce to your bowl! I don’t have a huge appetite and I found my udon on the smaller portion size though, so I’d definitely recommend paying $1.25 more for extra noodles to feel more satisfied. Honestly zero complaints in terms of flavours, service, cleanliness, and how you feel after, but it is little on the pricier side for what it is. Nonetheless we love supporting local small businesses that...
