Omni noodle is deadass my favourite noodle spot in the city. This place has pretty great noodles and and it’s life in a bowl. Eating here feels like home that I never knew lol.

Great noodle spot with lots of flavor! The noodle soup was perfectly spiced, warm, and super comforting—especially great for cold, extreme chilly weather. Tried the spicy beef noodles and they were rich and satisfying. The fried chicken momos were juicy and delicious, while the lamb skewers were decent. Friendly service, though it gets pretty crowded during dinner hours. Definitely worth a visit!

My first time trying out this place with a large group of people (10-12). I ordered the braised beef noodles N2 and and others' orders included beef and chicken dumplings, hand pulled noodles, other beef noodles, side of dumplings, seaweed salad and curried cucumbers(?).

Everything except the seaweed salad (which was not fresh and tasted awful), was great.

I personally enjoyed the braised beef noodles a lot. The broth had a lot of flavour even before I redenned it with the chilli oil which was surprisingly not hot at all ..which makes me think it was mostly oil.

I didn't love their soya sauce either, as it significantly changed the taste of my meal when I added it (had a very MSG taste ).

we were seated in a nice large room separated by the beautiful beaded curtains so we had more than enough space it can't say the same about privacy. No one came to check on us which kinda sucked since we ran out of water before our food even arrived, and we had to ask for extra napkins, forks and takeout boxes and individually pay our bills by walking upto the counter instead of someone bringing the sales machine to us, which disturbed the flow of the group because as soon as we stood up, we all left anyways after paying.

Overall, would def come back for the good food esp on a cold winter day.

I love this place. My husband would always rave about this place to me (way before all those tik tok influencers did). The broth for both our dishes were so flavorful. My favorite part is obviously picking the type of noodle for your bowl, that makes a huge difference to your experience.
Also, they're halal 🔥 Definitely a place to try out on a cold winter night

Been there twice. Maybe its just me, I just found the noodle soup to be very salty both times. The texture of the hand pulled noodles is good. Service was a let down. There was really no attention to the tables, maybe short staffed

Three reasons to the rating.
1) despite the self order system, they still brought me the wrong item and I had to argue with them to get the right one. The replacement was obviously not a new one but they just replaced the toppings. (Saw the bitten noodle)
2) the table was extremely dirty
3) no hot beverage offered, not even hot tea or water.

Bonus: the whole party got food poisoning, we did not eat anywhere else besides this store.

I ordered the beef dumplings and the lanzhou beef noodles, the food was great and so was the portion size, you could honestly split the noodles between two people.

However, I was beyond disappointed by the service at this restaurant. As my sisters and I walked in, we were not greeted but rather the waiter just pointed to the table and told us to order online. He didn’t even bring us water which was weird because he offered the family who came in after us water. He also stared at us the entire time we were eating, which goes without saying made my sisters and I uncomfortable. The whole atmosphere felt very unwelcoming, so we ate quickly and left as soon as we finished. I’ve been to the location in North York, and didn’t experience anything like this, I will not be returning to this location due the hostile service, which is truly upsetting because the food is amazing.

OK restaurant to try hand-pulled Lanzhou noodles and some halal food. Service was OK and staff were generally helpful. However the thickness of the hand-pulled noodles was not good and differed significantly in the same bowl. Seemed it was pulled by an apprentice who needs more practice. Also the meat quantity in the soup needs to be more generous. I give it a 3+ rate.

I really love their food!! Theyre dumplings are a big stand out to me, especially because everything is Halal. It’s also very reasonably priced.

HALAL
Ammmmmmazing food…..kind and friendly staff…..this was my first time trying it, i had a few doubts about beef smell so i didnt order beef, instead i ordered veggie bamboo shoot and noodles…..it was awesome….i will try noodles with beef next time…i ordered stir fried noodles and general tso’s chicken they both were so good, even my 4 years old kid loved them…..general tso’s chicken was fresh and so tender, this will be my all time’s favourite now.
Edit: been there multiple times by now, have had beef noodles too, everything is amazing!!!
New menu item chicken mushrooms soup is amazing, a little lighter in flavours but can be easily customised as per your taste.
Loved everything about orient express. They also sell uncooked dumplings by dozens, so you can steam them at home and enjoy as per your convenience…..thats what i do every other day now!
