Noodles in Vancouver, BC

“The food and drink was absolutely delicious when I went with my friend and partner. We ordered mango sticky rice, cauliflower wings and lychee/peach iced tea. On a hot summer day, it hit the spot so good. We also ordered some noodle dishes whuch were delicuous to devour on the go, though they were soupier than we thought. Our waitress was very kind, welcoming and accomodating, though also loud and people pleasing, which can come across as a bit much for some. Our group was fine with it though. We went in for a quick bite and got exactly what we needed. The atmosphere was beautiful and homey, separating us in a calmer bubble from the busy Vancouver streets.“

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

“From the first spoonful, you can tell they put a lot of care into every bowl. The broth is incredibly rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the noodles have that perfect chewy texture that makes every bite satisfying.

The chashu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and all of the toppings felt thoughtfully balanced rather than just thrown in. Everything tasted fresh, and the quality really stood out.

What I also appreciate is the atmosphere. It's cozy, clean, and welcoming, with friendly staff who make you feel looked after without being overbearing. Even when it's busy, the service is efficient, and the food comes out quickly.

It's the kind of place I find myself whenever I'm craving a comforting bowl of ramen. There are plenty of good ramen shops in Vancouver, but Maruhachi has earned a permanent spot on my list due to their consistency.“

“Delicious noodles! Prompt service. Tom yum was the perfect level of sour and spicy. Got out with the thick noodles which had a really nice chew. I don’t usually love shrimp, but these were fresh as they had a nice bounce.

Only down part is that it’s really warm - perhaps not enough AC / fan. Air circulation not great, but otherwise the space is cozy and cute.“

“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!“

“First time here for lunch and it was good. We were fortunate that we got a seat right away. Food came out within 5min and we were in and out in 30min. After we were done there was line up out the door abiut 5-6 ppl. $6 for 6 pieces of pork is worth it. I recommend to add extra noodles for $1 or $2! I was still hungry afterwards. Add the 3 gyozas and pop for $5 was ok too.

$48 plus tip is about right to have food food on Robson.“

“Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill, Canada 🇨🇦 A perfect place to experience delicious food, warm hospitality, and authentic flavors. Once you visit, you’ll definitely want to come back again. Highly recommended for everyone!“

“Delicious food! Chicken ramen is super rich and creamy, noodles is nice and aldente. I ran here after work and got here two minutes before closing, owner was super nice and was able to make me a bowl of ramen in 5 minutes! I forgot to get your name but I wanna say extra thank you here! Will definitely come back and try the other flavours 😋😋“

“They serve authentic taiwanese chinese style beef noodle soup. Especially I really recommend signature taiwanese beef noodle with boneless chicken. It's so tasty. Once you try it them, you will be absolutely hooked! Moreover, they have the food for vegetarian so you will be able to customize them.If you are in Vancouver, you should visit this restaurant!“

“It was quite good. Expected a little more flavor wise but all in all very good and the house made noodles were delicious. Be aware though about their restrictions when it comes to paying with CC or Amex. They’re quite upfront about it though, so it’s hard to miss.“

“Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Pandemic precautions in place(hand sanitizers, table partitions, menu on phone etc). 10/10“

“We were trying to go to the PhoGoodness next door and bewilderingly they close at 8pm. So as we were famished we found a Vietnamese restaurant right next door. We were blown away how rich and authentic their food tasted. The salad rolls, spring rolls and banh mi were amazing. One criticism would be the combo portions were a bit small. I am intrigued by how good their food was and will be back to try their other pho!“

“The owner, Mehdi, created this salad house because he saw how eating good food contributes to good health. When people are healthy, they are happy and kind. He told me about people he lost from cancer and illness from unhealthy eating. When he opened this store, I saw how much love and care he put into the decorations, selections of ingredients, preparation of food and serving people. He always have a nice smile no matter what day he has. He wants to make the world a better place by getting people to eat yummy, fresh and happy things. And he like to play the game of you guessing the weight of your bowl for a chance to win a free salad.“

“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.“

“i totally understand why this place has 4.8 stars! the food is soooo delicious as well as affordable!! i got the red curry combo and it’s honestly the best thai food i’ve ever had, that’s saying a lot since i have it so much. this place is a hidden gem!! 10/10 will come back again! also the workers were so kind“

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

“A sleeper hit as far as we're concerned. The epinymous noodles are very satisfying - authenticity not withstanding as we are unqualified to judge. Options for the spice-averse are limited, though the ye bin noodles are consistently crunchy and refreshing. We get them with fried egg and a side of blanched leafy greens.

Our only complaint is that the style and volume of the music is often giving karaoke club. There's just no good reason for me to have to raise my voice in a restaurant with only 1 or 2 other patrons present.

Way better to eat in than have delivered.“

“Stir fried ( Shanghai thick round noodles ) with BBQ Pork, fish, squid, shrimp. Very good ( very good Wok Hei ) intense wok flavour, follow by the pan fried pork dumplings ( no soup liquid inside ) as the steamed. C/C and cash payments are accepted.“

“I came here for the second time with my boyfriend, who is Vietnamese, so I knew I was getting a more honest opinion than usual. I personally don’t always connect easily with Asian food because the flavours are sometimes very different from what I’m used to, but this place honestly surprised me in a good way.

We ordered grilled meat dishes with rice, salad, dipping sauce, and soup on the side. The food looked simple at first, but the flavour was really satisfying. The grilled chicken was juicy, well seasoned, and had a nice smoky char without being too dry or heavy. The rice was fresh, the vegetables made the plate feel lighter, and the sauce added a sweet and savoury balance that worked really well with the meat.

What I liked most was that the food felt homemade and comforting, not overly complicated.“

“Nice food and very friendly service“

“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.“

“The best service and poke ever! At Hornby st“

“Highly under rated 10/10.“

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

“My husband and I came here for a late night dinner after 9pm. The restaurant obviously had less customers. I had a “深夜食堂” feel (a late night canteen. I felt it was still lively and warm to customers who could eat late night dinner or snacks.

We ordered their signature beef noodles and one with intestines. Both were good. The noodles were freshly made by the chef in the kitchen. We could see the chef who pulled the noodles was a lady. She had strong arms and great energy pulling the noodles and making them fresh for customers. That’s was awesome 👏🏼. Usually we see a male chef to do that.

The broth of the signature beef noodles was light but I could add their special vinegar or spicy oil to get to the level of spicy I wanted.

There is free street parking in the neighborhood. Service was great. We would like to go back and try other dishes especially that we can choose the thickness or width of the noodles. That’s the most interesting part 👍✌🏼“

“Walk in and order walk out happier. Why do I wait so long between visits!? This place is awesome! The Banh Mi buns are always fresh and rewarded upon order. With a slight crusty crunch with morsels of tender yumminess on the inside!
I order the Roasted Pork Belly and my “partner in crime” ordered Lemongrass Chicken, both of which were exquisite!
Service is efficient to keep the line moving, but with a few chairs inside and a bench outside there still a chance to savour the flavour-flavour (and if there’s leftovers maybe some for later).“

“Tried the beef siu mai and the preserved mustard greens pork noodle soup：both were delicious! The beef siu mai was flavorful and juicy, and the noodles were comforting and well-seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive as well. Overall a great dining experience, and I would definitely come back.“

“The broth is perfect! I feel the taste absolutely the same as one I had in Japan! At first the portion seems a bit small compared to Canadian size but it turns out enough for your tummy. The dine-in area is not spacious so my recommendation is avoid the peak hours.“

“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.“

“Prepare to be transported to Thailand! The owners are incredibly kind are welcoming, and bring the underrepresented Central Thai flavors to Vancouver. Pad Thai, Green Curry, Larb moo, pineapple fried rice, and roti were all prepared with generous portions of fresh ingredients and full flavored spices. Go for the fresh coconut to cool down. Plenty of free parking off of main street. Highly recommended.“

“Really enjoyed this place. The broth was clean and had great flavor, noodles were perfectly chewy, and the meat was cooked so well - really tender. The fried tofu paired nicely with the udon too, seasoning was spot on.

Next time I want to try their cold udon, curious how it compares!“

“This restaurant is a must try if you have a craving for western Chinese food! The flavours are good, portion sizes are even better, and the added discount if you place a pick-up order by phone is a sweet extra bonus. I'd highly recommend.“

“really good food. Totally satisfied me.“

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

“Edit: 6 years ago their bun bo hue was one of the best in the city. I just tried it again and now it is just average. All the chopped spices are gone and the broth taste bland. I have to change my rating from 5/5 to 3.5/5

I love their bun bo hue. It's the best bun bo hue I've had in Vancouver. The broth is full of finely chopped herbs and spices floating on top that I don't see in most other Vietnamese restaurants. Their pho with lemongrass grilled chicken is delicious as well. Their grilled beef skewer is amazing and I love that you can order a single skewer as a side instead of a full dish. Lastly, this is kind of a silly thing to say but they make beautiful and perfect sunny side up eggs.“

“I love neighbourhood restaurants as usually they aren’t too noisy. The vibe in here was nice and the service was excellent. Food was good but for the price it didn’t quite match the value. I’m glad that I checked this place out but it wouldn’t be a regular place I go too.“

“Take out 👍 Food is delicious 😊“

“Light light light! Had the Bun Rieu and Bun Cha Ca Dac Biet. Both were very light. The Bun Cha was very dilly which made for a very different flavour than the go to bite flavours. Pretty unique. The Bun Rieu was good. Very light compared to the bun Rieu I’m used to. Solid. The crab meat were more shredded than in meatballs. I prefer the meatball form.
Overall a nice experience. If you prefer a lighter broth then come here. Service was good. It was very busy when we went.“

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

“I love this place. Service is the best“

“This place is fantastic. It’s so delicious. I recommend the Sheng Jian Bao (pan fried dumplings) and Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings).

Most people do take out, but eating there is awesome to make sure it’s hot.

Note: it’s cash only“

“Incredible staff, amazing food and quick service. This place is incredible!“

“This is a hidden gem on Fraser St that my mom’s friend recommended. I like that the food isn’t too oily or salty which is common in many restaurants. I recommend the beef rolls. A tip: unless you like sweet hoisin sauce, request to have it removed from the rolls or to reduce the sauce as there’s a lot of it inside. I also liked the soup noodles with lamb and vegetables. It is refreshing although it may be mild in taste but that is what I prefer. I did wish they put more cabbage and vegetables in it.

The menu has a wide variety of mostly northern Chinese dishes. Don’t expect much decor here as the menu prices reflect that.

Also, remember to have a debit card or cash with you. They don’t accept credit card.“

“I’m writing this just to say that they’re now taking debit and credit cards. Yay!

I’ve been coming here for what feels like 20 years(?) lol!

I love this location. It just feels cozier.
The servers are nice, especially if you flash them a smile.

All of their dishes are super solid and come in good portions sizes. The food comes out fast and piping hot.

Pricing is reasonable and the authentic flavour can’t be beat.“

“I was thoroughly impressed with the pho broth, it has been awhile since I’ve had such authentic flavour. The portion is very generous and having pickled spicy garlic was just an extra special experience. The staff were good, what was quite endearing was one young man saw me packaging my own takeaway and offered to put Saran Wrap to make sure it didn’t leak. I was initially drawn to this restaurant as they offered a new menu with clam congee and pate sticky rice - while advertised outside, it wasn’t shown inside. Plenty of seating in front with also a backroom, clean, friendly staff, complimentary iced tea, and easily can pay via card. (Noticed menu varies from other franchises but I guess that is what makes each location unique)“

“PROS:Have really on tried the spicy beef noodle soup, bbq pork fried rice, duck fried rice, and spicy won tons. They all have been tasty or satisfactory. No complaints in the taste department from me.CONS:I used to eat here twice a week at least when they had the 10% off when ordering online, but since the removal, I have eaten there a few times since last year.The price is similar to restaurant food, so a bit expensive considering it is food court food. Maybe this is due to the addition of the "free" drink. Maybe it is now due to the cost of food.The "free" drink included with some of the items should be removed. One reason is because of the cup fee in Vancouver. The other is that I don't care much for the drinks. Choice would be nice and hopefully will reduce the price of the meal and reduce unnecessary waste.“

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

“The food explodes with flavor! The pho was spicey delicious. It took a minute before it was ready but it was worth the wait.
And the banh mi was a filling and flavorful sandwich.
The inside is very modest but the food is impressive!“

“Really good food Authentic Vietnamese“

“This is by far my favourite spot for noodles in Vancouver, both locations are amazing hidden gems. The quality is incredible, the portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. I especially recommend the French beans and the in-house made cut noodle wok! The staff are so lovely especially the owner Lee! The construction on Broadway has been an absolute nightmare for the business and I know they are struggling to keep the doors open. I will be going there regularly to support them and for the lovely food. There is plenty of parking behind broadway, off of 8th.“
