I was busy all day and didnt eat any thing and it was getting late.. I was craving some tofu fresh rolls ; so I did a search for the best fresh rolls in Vancouver Ei8ht noodles was one of the frist places to pop up. After looking at the photos of they're fresh rolls and seeing how good they looked i hopped in my car and drove over there. What a disappointment. Frist the fresh rolls look nothing like the photos on Google. They turned out very skimpy and small and not at all what I was expecting. As you see in my photos. But what is just as bad if not worse is being over charged.... the menu says $10 for salad rolls i ordered two orders. When I went to pay I was unpleasantly surprised at the price $25.66. I asked the attendant and she pointed at the taxes... but i said it still shouldn't be that much money. She again pointed at the receipt saying the taxes. And I didnt look closely at that moment to see what they charged me was $11.75 for tofu fresh rolls. Unbelievable. Update your menu. It's completely unfair and unethical to false advertise one price and then charge a higher price. Never again..... if the tofu fresh rolls were super good like I was expecting I wouldn't be half as irritated. But they wer not, they were small and didnt have much in them. See my photos.
Waste of gas and a 18...

Ok, now that thatās out of the way, letās get down to Thai tacks. The steamed buns with BBQ pork were not what I was expecting, but were delish. Itās a flat steamed bun folded over the pork with cilantro. Delicate and light, will add to my list of things I want to learn how to make. Once seated, you order at the counter and they bring the dishes to your table. Service was pleasant and attentive. They asked my friend how spicy he wanted his Pad Thai, he said zero spice, I got the Spicy Tom Kha Ramen with coconut milk and they also gave me zero spice. Both dishes were sweeter than we expected, not bad, but they cook sweet there. Considering they dish was called Spicy, I was expecting spicy. But even then, it was flavorful and nice. Not huge portions for the price, but we werenāt disappointed. Presentation was nice, the place felt clean and the staff were welcoming. Both server and cook called out thank you on our way out. Would I make this my regular place? Probably not. Would I fight dragons to get there or walk a mile in the snow? Unlikely. If Iām going to order spicy, I want sweat dripping off my nose by the time Iām done, or at least a condiment tray so I can give it a little...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe ordered take out. Itās our first time ordering and I was unsure of what to get. But I saw the daily photo which was teriyaki chicken on Instagram, so I ordered that for the family. Well. We were very pleasantly surprised! This little gem is not far from us and I had always walked by. But I wonāt be walking by no more. This was probably my best take out ever. Chicken was moist and flavorful. Veggies fresh. The sauce really good. Not the overly sticky stuff. It was light and really tasty. One thing Iām gonna mention about the veggies. I donāt like them raw crunchy. I like them cooked. But not limp. Those carrots-I could eat a bowlful!!! Iām 68 and Iāve never had a carrot quite like this. We love to go to really good restaurants and eat good food. The carrots were cooked to absolute perfection. I donāt know if we hit it on a good day or not but these were steamed through. Then some kind of a sweet sauce barely noticeable on the outside just ever so light. These folks know how to cook! Based on my takeout we plan on going back...
