Noodles in Vancouver, BC

“Had low expectation but the quality of the noodles was very good got an extra just to satisfy my cravings. I got the veggie ramen but surprisingly the broth had a heavy body which went so well with the broth.
If you like spicy definitely add the spicy chilly on the side.
Will try other locations as well a must try!“

“Humble udon spot thats well-deserving of its Michelin inclusion.
Got the NikuToji. The broth had a balanced flavour that wasn’t over- or under-powering. The beef brisket was extremely tender and rich, and the portion was generous!
Seating and decor is comfy and they have seating for singles or small groups.
I opted to go for their most popular traditional udon, but I’ll definitely be back to try their specialty udons!“

“Friendly stuff and the food price is decent. Can order through their app, it’s convenient!“

“Amazing food here! Absolutely mouth watering! I will be back a million times over. Great service, keep up the good work kitchen team! ✨👏🏼🔥😍“

“Outstanding service and delicious pho! As we arrived, our server welcomed us and went through the menu with us to ensure we got something yummy. Highly recommend!“

“Flavourful, unique, healthy food all served by a friendly and dedicated staff. I can’t give The Hestia Veggie enough stars to reflect how amazing it is! Highly recommend!“

“The Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles here aren’t as tasty as they used to be. The broth has become noticeably lighter and less flavorful, and the beef is on the tougher side, which makes the overall experience less satisfying compared to before. That being said, the owner is still very warm and welcoming, and their friendly service leaves a positive impression, even if the food itself has declined a bit.“

“Probably the best Dan Dan Noodles I’ve eaten in Vancouver! The beef roll was also excellent, crispy and full of flavour. Only reason this isn’t a 5-Star review is due to the strange charges. 5 cents for take-out containers, 5 cents to use a Mastercard? Not the craziest thing, just odd. Seems unnecessary. Otherwise, I will happily be going back to try everything else their menu offers.“

“I think this place is considered to be the best ramen place in Vancouver. I went to the Robson location, and the line up was crazy long.

There are two options for ramen; either you get the tonkotsu pork broth base or the vegan broth base. I got the negi-goma ramen for $13.95, which is stronger in flavour due to the added sesame (don't think that belongs in Hakata ramen, but whatever) and scallions, and I also think it has more lard / richness. I added a soft-boiled egg for $2.

I thought the noodles looked appetizing, and I think it’s good too. However, I think I’m just not a fan of tonkotsu ramen / Hakata ramen / Fukuoka ramen.“

“Great food, great service and a generally enjoyable ambience. Recommended.“

“I walk by this place so many times. I didn't think much since there so many places to eat on Denman. Since my favorite Korean restaurant across the street recently closed, so I said hey I'll try it today. I'm glad I did it. The dan dan noodle was good and chewy. I went with the lightest heat and it was perfect. I lemon ice tea was good. Only wish it was a bit bigger. Wife and kid loved their meal, too. I was satisfied and I will be back.“

“Wow, Wow and triple god damn Wow!!!

One of the best noodle soups I've ever had. Certainly the best beef noodle soup I've ever had. Gosh it was so fricken great.

I could write a bunch about how amazingly flavourful the broth was, how utterly tender the beef was, and how stringy and scrumptious those noodles were, not to mention the glorious pickled veg on top which may have been celery, oh and the chili paste which was simply unreal and packed a mighty punch.

Instead I'm just gonna reiterate that this is the best beef noodle soup ever.

Come, get the soup, go to food heaven and be grateful.“

“I loved this Pokerrito location! The space is modern, spacious, and clean. The menu is displayed on sleek screens, making it easy to read and understand how to build your own pokerrito, bowl, or dish. There's plenty of seating and paid street parking available. Unfortunately, the 'rice printer' malfunctioned, which caused a delay in my order, but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food tasted great, although they were out of avocado that day. Every ingredient felt fresh and delicious.“

“I got takeout today (Aug. 27) and the food was PERFECT!!!! People rave about Ramen Danbo, but that place is mediocre at best.

I bought the creamy chicken black ramen for $16 (I tipped), which I THINK is the tonkatsu black ramen and it tasted SO DIVINE. I’ve been to Japan and all I ate there was ramen and I think this is the closest authentic Japanese ramen I’ve ever had. Noodles was perfect, broth, and chashu. I can’t believe this place is in a food court. I’d definitely get more takeout here.

They don’t take AMEX, which is fine. The service was incredibly friendly. Just the same service I used to get in Japan.

Not the place’s fault, but I was getting catcalled and there were few weirdos around because of the location (downtown East Hastings). Won’t stop me from buying here though!! Can’t wait.“

“Amazing food, great service, would definitely love to visit again.“

“Pho Khan is one of the few Vietnamese restaurants that still offers a choice of bowl sizes, which is a great touch. The restaurant is clean with a pretty, welcoming interior. The satay pho had a rich, flavorful broth, and the spring rolls were fresh and crispy. Everything came out hot and stayed hot throughout the meal. The vermicelli bowl was light and refreshing, with crisp vegetables and perfectly marinated pork. Excellent food and great attention to detail — I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Undoubtedly five stars. Came with a couple friends whom recommended it and was highly impressed. Our experience was so enjoyable from start to finish in all aspects with a lively vibe, delicious food and staff's bubbly energy which is some of the best I've been around. If you want attentive and friendly service with an inviting atmosphere Ramen Danbo in Kitsilano is The Place.“

“My friends tried the Braised duck, Tomyum and they loved it. Mine was the Curry and i enjoyed the first half of the bowl, after that it just a little too creamy and fill me up pretty fast even tho im still not full. Their Thai tea is good too and it came out pretty fast.

The day i visited maybe there was something wrong with the ventilation but we can see smoke and smell heated oil. All our clothes cover with smell afterward too.

Pretty cozy place, works well with groups under 8ppl.“

“Live up to the name of the restaurant. The taste of the food is good, salt and spice level is just the right mix. Serving is considerate for the price. The best part is the noodles. Definitely will come back. Spent around $50 for three dishes.“

“Came in late one evening and tried this place on a whim.

Was beyond my expectations in terms of flavor. Got a noodle dish which came with the most wonderful side of soup. I would visit just for the soup of thats all they had.“

“This is the most authentic Hang Zhou restaurant in Vancouver! I brought my parents who were visiting me from Hang Zhou there for lunch, and they absolutely loved it! We had four dishes:

1. Noodle soup with pork and preserved veggies (pian er chuan). Very fresh ingredients and delicious soup! The pork tenderloin slices were perfect, the bamboo was freshly flown in from Hang Zhou, and the noodles had a great texture, unlike any other noodle soup. I sent the photo to my relatives in Hang Zhou later in the evening, and they said the same noodle soup did not even look this good in Hang Zhou (with much fewer ingredients back home). So the chefs really produced a national treasure in my opinion.

2. Wonton soup. This is the street dish I grew up eating. The wonton skin was silky and the filling was delicious; the seaweed was fresh, and the little dried shrimp added more flavor. Just perfect and exactly how I remembered it.

3. Bing stuffed with preserved pork and veggie (mei gan cai bing). This is another perfection, thin and crispy crust, delicious and juicy filing, I wish I ordered another one.

4. Fried stinky tofu with sweet and spicy dipping sauce. This is another street dish I grew up eating. The stink is pretty mild, so it's not overpowering at all, but the tofu is really crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. The sweet and spicy sauce is what carries this dish.

Overall, I really like the food because it brings back so many memories of Hang Zhou. Even my parents are impressed (they are hard to impress!).“

“Nice food and very friendly service“

“I love this place. Service is the best“

“Delicious! Vegan options available and new hours for pickup during the pandemic and lock down. Monday-Saturday=11-9 p.m. and Sunday: 11-6 p.m. Fresh chili sauce to take home in glass jar. Also Dumplings to take home.“

“Very flavourful broths, tender chicken and pork. Chicken Karage was so juicy but not oily. Worth the drive from Surrey.“

“Had a nice Friday dinner with my fam as we were yearning for some warm comfort food. We have ate at a lot of other ramen places and this place is one of the good ones. Their broth is so umami and their cha Siu and noodle package is so tasty and delicious. Only downside is we dish their bowls were a bit bigger. We had their Tori Paitan and Tori Shoyu ramen including their tomago rice dish which was smoky and delicious. Their gyozas were tasty as well. Highly recommend this ramen place if you’re looking for a warm and delicious bowl of comfort food ramen.“

“The Hire Katsu was so tasty and tender, very friendly staff too.“

“Take out 👍 Food is delicious 😊“

“As I was looking for something different while visiting here in Vancouver, I ran across Cambie Vietnamese Restaurant yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. My lunch special was 2 porkchops, with 2 crispy spring rolls, salad, and rice. Additionally I ordered a mago shake/smoothie. All the food was excellent and prepared perfectly. Service was prompt and friendly and the restaurant has a warm and pleasant atmosphere. There is also outdoor seating available.
I returned this evening and enjoyed crispy spring rolls and fried calamari rings. If you ever had to chew tough calamari then this was NOT the case. My calamari was tender and tasty!
My conversation with one of the owners, Winston, was relaxed and friendly, confirming to me that this family restaurant should be highly recommended. I will be back when I visit Vancouver again!“

“Mehdi, the owner is really hospitable. The salads are my go to 1-2 times a week for sure, it is fresh, yummy, healthy and cheaper than most unhealthy lunch options. Love their customer engagement on guessing the weight of your bowl and getting it free if guess correctly. ❤️“

“So happy to see the restaurant was finally open again!
This is the best spot for Thai food in the city and I’ve travelled to Thailand many times. Food is authentic, delicious and well portioned.

The menu and taste were the same as previous restaurant if not better. I hosted a dinner party and everyone agreed it was some of the best Thai food anyone’s ever had.

We always order the drunken noodles, pad thai, red curry and vegetables. Food is always consistently well made. Thank you!“

“Came for the first time on St. Patrick’s Day. I ordered ramen and requested to remove veggies. I tried Yokohama Iekei Ramen & Karaage on my first time here. I ended up eating karaage without dipping the tartar sauce because it was better without any sauce.“

“We ordered the dan dan noodles (spicy), fried bean-paste noodles, and wontons in chili sauce. I had high expectations for the fried bean-paste noodles and wontons, but surprisingly, the dan dan noodles ended up being our favorite. I’m usually not a big fan of dan dan noodles, but these were very creamy, nutty, and moreish! They weren’t spicy for us, though.
The lady who took our order seemed a bit concerned that two of us were ordering three dishes, but I didn’t find the portion sizes overly large—three dishes were just right without making us feel too full.

Overall, I really enjoyed their food and would love to come back to try other dishes.
One thing to note: they only accept cash, not even debit, so come prepared!“

“Amazing food, great service, would definitely love to visit again.“

“Highly under rated 10/10.“

“My friend ordered Pho and a salad roll and enjoyed it. I have come here for years and my son always orders Pho as likes theirs. I order a combo plate with lettuce so I can wrap my meat. Substituted beef as not a fan of minced pork. Was delish. Salad roll and shrimp in sugar cane and spring roll was great.“

“First time ordering from the restaurant. Food was nice, hot & fresh, delivered by Door Dash. 53. Ginger Fried Beef. was not quite what I expected (visually), but equally delicious as comparable restaurants'. Nice & spicy/gingery. The120. Fried Yee Mein with Mushroom was beautifully done with long tender mildly flavoured noodle strands that glides on it's own. Flavored just right. A definite 👍 👍
Order was delivered on time and in a cute delivery bag too!“

“really good food. Totally satisfied me.“

“Delicious and cheap Bahn Mi sandwiches!

The baguette bread is flakey, warm, and fresh. They give you a generous amount of ingredients in your sandwich with lots of chicken. I got two sandwiches for only $15 and they accept debit!“

“Found this place by chance and the food was absolutely delicious!“

“My husband and I stopped here for lunch. I had a lunch special (deep fried ginger beef on rice) and my husband had noodle soup. The noodles were delicious and fresh, and the broth was flavourful. The ginger beef was also good, but the sauce was sweet, which I didn't expect and barely spicy hot, although it was rated as spicy. The tea is amazing, as was our server. The restaurant was full, and she managed it all, including the take out, in an unhurried, efficient, and friendly manner. Recommend this restaurant for the excellent noodles, fast service and reasonable prices.“

“If you like good sushi, at a fair price, then you’ll enjoy Sumire sushi. A great family run restaurant with friendly staff. They make their own hot sauce and it’s delicious.“

“Sushi Moon is such an underrated and truly HIDDEN gem! The quality of the sushi is consistently fresh, and the variety is amazing — there are so many options that you’ll always find something new to try. The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and attentive (I hope they never change the portions because that's why I come here on top of the high-quality fish). I’m surprised this spot isn’t busier because it easily rivals some of the more “popular” sushi places in town. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t been yet — and no, this is not cappery, it’s just that good. 🍣😄“

“Had Bun Rieu (Crab broth with noodles, shrimp, tomato, tofu, sliced ham and pork) and you can add herbs (bean sprouts, basil, perilla leaves, limes). Loved it so much that we came back 6 days later. Also had fried prawns with peppery salt which which was delicious.“

“Good service and delicious foods“

“The best ramen🍜 store we have visited so far in downtown Vancouver.“

“We were so excited when this place opened in Vancouver! We've been to the Honolulu and Tokyo locations. Some of the tempura was a bit cold here but the noodles were firm and bouncy. Tried the tomatama this time and it was quite good. Great for a late night snack, after a musical or game.“

“We often drive up from Seattle to Vancouver for the purpose of eating GOOD Chinese food. Today we went to Noodle Arts for the first time and OMG.....I'm in love and might have to just move here!!!! We are vegetarian and they were very accommodating with many choices on the menu. The hand-pulled MADE TO ORDER Dan Dan noodles were out of this world and you get to choose the diameter of the noodles you'd like. We chose the thickest (5mm) and they were so fresh and chewy. I was in culinary heaven. The sauce the noodles were in was divine. We also ordered Spicy Salted Tofu and the portion was immense. The tofu was fried but very dry and not oily at all. For dessert we order the red bean pancake and it was not great and very oily. The woman who waited on us was very friendly and helpful. Even the tea was yummy. Can't wait to go again!“

“My parents and I go to pho place as a Viet person. We love their pho, and the owner is super friendly. On top of that, the restaurant is very clean, and the food comes out pretty quickly!

Definitely recommend if you haven't tried yet! :)“

“Great food and newly selection of wine and beer. Typical Vietnamese food.“
