This food stall is located in Yaohan Center and saw a youtuber eat here so came to try it. Ordered their pork spareribs (they called it pork chop?) and chicken claypot rice. It takes around 15-20 mins to make as they do this fresh so it comes out piping hot even if you wait for it to cool down after 1/2 hour. You also get to choose level of spicyness which I thought was interesting (we ordered mild).
They give you the claypot with soup, soy sauce and pickled veggies. Everything was good and especially the scorched rice at the bottom of the inside pot. My only minor complaint was the pork spareribs had a lot of cartilage and were smaller pieces so a lot of chewing was required. Will come back again to try their noodle dishes.

This place already has people lining up before it opens at 11 a.m. We might’ve had slightly high expectations, but the Chongqing small noodles were just okay compared to Vancouver’s usual Chinese food standards. Overall, an average but decent experience.

Their spicy (level can be adjusted) noodle soups are bombs. Make sure you also order their clay pot rice.

Traditional clay pot rice, made fresh! Takes 15 min, longer when there's a lineup. Well worth it, lots of flavor and crispy rice at the bottom. Located in Yaohan food court.

very generous portions for the noodles. braised short ribs were very tender and my favourite part of the meal. however i found noodles just okay and flavour a little one dimensional
as of August 19,2025 they only accept cash, WeChat pay, or e-transfer. No debit or credit.
2025.08.24. Rice claypots or soup noodles is Ajea Noodle specialty. Claypot rice at a food court is a wonderful idea. Different variations of filling over boiled rice essentially. The claypots are filled first with rice, cooked, then toppings are added, more steaming time.
Noodles are boiled along with vegetables in separate colanders in a large pot of boiling water. Lifted, drained, transferred into bowls, other ingredients are added to finish off, served. Line up, place your order, pay, get a paper receipt, wait for your order to be served. Allow around twenty minutes. Cash payment.
I ordered their Cantonese-style savory rice (including bacon, duck leg, sausage). After the dish is ready for pickup, bring your order to a table. The claypot is hot, be careful not to burn yourself. The rice claypot will be savory if you pour the little soy sauce accompanying your food tray. The rice is slightly burnt onto the claypot. But you can separate the rice stuck on with the provided soup spoon. Busy line, recommended.

Chinese clay pot rice made right in front of you. Yes it’s a long wait, at least 30 minutes (after you have ordered) but it’s authentic and super tasty.
This place had a lineup 20 ft long with at least half of them ordering clay pot rice.
In case you haven’t tried it before the rice is flavoured with the meat and the contact surface between the rice and pot make for some roasted rice. Rice has a smoky flavour and has some crunch bits. It’s a real treat from regular rice.
I would recommend the chicken and Chinese sausage one.
Located in the food court of Yohan mall, it’s easy access and very popular.

We came specifically for their claypot rice. There will be a 20-40 minute wait depending on how busy they are. It is pretty good, they are generous with the toppings and they give you a small soup and side dish too. The side dish is a pickled vegetable.

Crappy service and just meh claypot rice. Whoever thought it was good, idk maybe a difference in taste, but this place is not authentic. They won’t give you your change back and will take it as tips as well. If you want to get your fix of claypot rice. Go for it. Otherwise, I’d avoid it.

Two major dealbreakers:
They're super stingy on the beef. There's a lot less than other beef noodle places.
The spicy traditional broth is 80% oil... very disgusting
