Noodles in Toronto, ON

“A unforgettable dining experience last 07/04/25 (Friday)! Shoutout to Chef/Owner Danny Cancino and his team for an impeccable service! 👏 Every dish and the complimentary additions were phenomenal! The modern twist in Filipino cuisine was definitely well done!💖🌟 Here are some of my standout favorites 🤯: • Pineapple + Kombu (Seaweed): Refreshing and light, with crispy seaweed balancing the sweet, citrusy pineapple 💛 • Duck Ensaymada w/ Duck Prosciutto and Truffle Butter: One of the fluffiest breads I’ve ever had, inspired by classic ensaymada. Spreading truffle butter on it was chef’s kiss—it melts in your mouth! 😭👌 • Scallop Inari Lumpia: Beautifully presented with fried sushi rice, ginger-chili dressed Argentinian shrimp, and seared scallop on top. The rice was fluffy and so tasty I could eat it endlessly! • Iberico Pork Collar: Juicy, saucy, and umami-packed tender pork with chicharon, lettuce leaves, and sesame aioli. The pickled papaya (atchara) was a nice touch—I don’t usually eat atchara, but I loved it with this! • Beef Short Rib Kare-Kare: The star of the show! 🌟👏 Rich, classic kare-kare flavors with blanched bok choy and eggplant. The thick, peanuty sauce was delightful—if only there was rice! 🤣😋 Hope as many people as possible get to try this ultimate gourmet experience, whether you’re visiting Toronto or a Canada local! 🌟 Thank you Mineral!☺️Until we visit again!“

“I really love this local family run Pho spot. The woman who works there always greets you with the biggest smile and she’s so kind. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. This has become one of my favourite regular spots. Definitely worth a try. ☺️“

“As someone from Chongqing, it makes me genuinely happy to find such authentic 豌杂面 in Toronto. The flavors remind me of home, and the portion size is very generous. If they could add a bit of pickled radish to the noodles, it would be absolutely perfect. The food is delicious, comforting, and I’ll definitely be coming back often!“

“We dined at the West Edmonton Mall location. We all loved it! Our meals were amazing, so full of flavour and the noodles were outstanding! The green tea Passion fruit drink complimented the meal perfectly. Please, please, please open a location in Vancouver, BC.“

“Surprisingly, one of the best dishes of the meal wasn’t even the noodles. Their braised pork belly rice ($9.99) impressed with the diced pieces of flavourful meat incorporating just enough fatty pieces to melt into the rice to create a caramelized stickiness but not feel overly gluttonous. The slightly sweet soy flavours were evident but not too strong so you could easily get through a bowl. In fact, it’s more than enough for lunch.

I’m glad I refrained from ordering any of their spicy noodles as even the crispy pork tomato rice noodle ($16.99) contained a back note of the mala spice. It was by no means spicy, but the tomato broth had a bit of chili oil mixed in to give it a tingle.

Adding two fried soybean roll ($1.99) seems expensive given the noodles are under $20, but I love how they soaked in the flavourful broth, the crevices of the thin sheets creating a juicy bite. You’ll get a bit of that pop with the fried tofu puffs and gluten squares that come with the bowl, but these don’t have the silky finish.

The rice noodles (or lai fun) were a tad soft but at least resisted getting too soggy sitting in the broth. And there’s tons of the crispy pork slivers on top but didn’t add much to the experience. In hindsight, I’d prefer a vegetarian version of the noodles and add on more toppings. Quail eggs and vegetables round out the bowl for a filling meal.

Having had a lot of pork, we opted for the fried chicken bun ($6.99), which was surprisingly large for its low price… easily rivaling two McChickens. You’ll have to get over the hit of cumin which gives the fowl an almost shawarma taste.

Simply adorned with shredded lettuce and no sauce the handheld is a tad dry and would need a sauce if eaten solo. I ended up dipping the crispy flaky pastry into the tomato broth and it was a great combination. Not unlike crumbling a package of saltines into a creamy tomato soup.“

“Great bowl of noodles and good portion. I prefer wider noodles and they were cooked perfectly. Adjust the broth to your taste and it's great, I drank almost all of it. Only wish the chili oil given on the table had a lot more kick, but my friend said his spicy bowl was adequetly hot.“

“I recently visited Eat BKK Leslieville and tried their Pad Prik Pow Talay. This dish was an absolute delight! The seafood was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked, with a wonderful mix of shrimp, squid, and mussels. The flavors were bold and well-balanced, with just the right amount of heat from the chili paste, complemented by the sweetness and smokiness that are characteristic of this Thai dish.“

“Food/sauce is very flavorful, atmosphere is great and you can watch him making the noodles. What’s not to like?? Oh yeah and the cat robot that delivered our appetizers was awesome! We’re here at noon on a Monday and I can’t believe this place isn’t packed; with this delicious food it should be. We’re on vacation but I wish they had one in Charleston! Two thumbs way up!!“

“Tasty food! We love that they have a patio.“

“It definitely worth the hype! We tried the beef hot udon and crab hot udon. The udon quality was very good, fresh, chewy, soft. The broth for each udon is different, both were very delicious. I will definitely come back to try more! Service was prompt and friendly. Heads up, Check out their Yelp page for virtual wait list to save time ;)“

“the best Thai food in town!!!!! exceptional service“

“Amazing little noodle restaurant in the heart of the city. The broth was delicious and the service was extremely friendly. Our waitress even explained to us the history behind the broth recipe. I would eat here every week if I lived in Toronto.“

“very nice noodle and the dumpling is super good“

“這是我吃過最好吃的米線😋“

“We want to thank Allan Lim. Sasi. Brandon and all the staff for an amazing evening. We had family here from N.S. and the food, drinks and service was exceptional.“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying the tasting experience, and it was truly extraordinary. From the very beginning, Marilyn and Judith provided impeccable service warm, attentive, and profesional making us feel very well taken care of.

Chef Essau showed incredible passion and deep knowledge while presenting each dish. His explanations helped us appreciate the ingredients, techniques, and inspiration behind every creation.

The experience felt like a journey through the flavors and regions of Latin America, offering a beautiful representation of Latin high cuisine. Each course was a delightful surprise and a celebration of our gastronomy.

It was truly a memorable culinary experience. Thank you to Marilyn, Judith, and Chef Essau for such a special evening!“

“Food was delicious!! Very friendly, amazing service! Must try…“

“The Pork Gyoza was decent—nothing special but solid. The real star here is the ramen, which was simply delicious. I tried both the Beef Spicy Jalapeño Ramen and the Pork Spicy Garlic Ramen. The jalapeño ramen had a bold, spicy kick with plenty of jalapeño flavor, while the garlic ramen was outstanding—packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. If you’re a ramen fan, this spot is definitely worth checking out!“

“Great atmosphere, service, and food. Prices are better than other udon restaurants in Toronto.

To start we had the torched eel nigiri, it was so good! Torched and marinated to perfection.

I ordered the curry chicken udon. The curry chicken udon sauce was delicious and very rich, with one piece of chicken katsu. The portion was just the right amount.

My partner had the beef brisket udon, my partner rated it a 10/10. I liked the smoky flavour of the beef brisket sauce.

Would highly reccommend!“

“Had very nice dinner with my friend, reaaaally enjoyed truffle cream udon - had amazing flavour and udon noodles were cooked to perfection 🙌

Also John is amazing and made us welcome with treats in the beginning! Thank you very much!“

“Food was good- very well packed for takeout. BEWARE- there are 3 noodle me locations- each with the items numbered differently on their menu !! (Why??) the Toronto location is inexplicably called just “downtown “- well, the Hamilton location is also “downtown “. Leads to unnecessary confusion and incorrect orders. Make sure you are ordering the menu called “Hamilon “ or you will not get the correct order! ( ask me how I know…..)“

“One of my close friends who lived in Toronto recommended this place to me. I decided to stop by and try. It wasn’t disappointed. The best Thai foods I have since I moved from Thailand. Ended up the owners are my aunt’s friends from back home... small world... lol I’d recommend this place to everyone... not because I know them... but because their foods taste just liked HOME.“

“If you really like fresh Japanese food, that is the place.“

“Have walked by this place hundreds of times and finally came in on a snowy day. Very solid handmade noodles here that gets pretty much made to order. Sesame beef pancake were great as well, but the heavily advertised popcorn chicken probably isn't worth ordering. This one was dry and overfried, there are better ones out there, but otherwise the noodles there were delicious.“

“I went here with some friends for lunch, we sat in the back group area. I got the spicy chicken rice, which was so delicious. Unfortunately service was lacking, our food took a long time to arrive, they forgot utensils and got our orders confused with other tables. Servers were nice but seemed overwhelmed and clueless, maybe that’s a management issue though.“

“Great service ❤️ with fitness ingredient… cheer! 😊🍀🌷“

“I have been going to Noodle King for the last years. My favourite is the barbeque chicken soup. The quality, the friendliness are amazing. I haven’t worked in the downtown district for over 10 years and I still try to make it a point once a month to get that soup!! You must go there 😊😊😊“

“Wow! Found this gem on Uber Eats last night and was amazing. I’ve got the TSO HAPPY TOGETHER and it was perfect/ delicious, I’ve leftover for today’s lunch.
Price was great and quantity wise too.
Definitely will have this again!“

“Great food and not too expensive!

Food - I have not ordered everything from Vietnam Lovely Noodle but I have ordered the Pho and one of the Curries. They are delicious. The portions are pretty large so you get a pretty good ratio between price and food. And if you cant finish you can always get it to go. When I was a student the curry was my go to meal either getting the rice or roti which was absolutely delicious. Food is also good to share with others.

Service - Service are great they are kind and last time I was there even gave me free croquettes. Additionally, I would usually wait for a takeout order and they always offered me water and tea.

Atmosphere - Atmosphere is good I would not say anything stands out I mean that in the best way. It can get busy but if you avoid peak hours you can catch the restaurant with not too much traffic.

Overall - Good food, good price, kind staff.“

“Excellent presentation of fabulous tasting food.“

Freshly opened and replacing another Vietnamese spot in East Chinatown, it serves to suitably fill in the void. The broken rice actually features broken rice, which has a unique aroma and more surface area to soak up the savory fish sauce.“

“good food.. friendly staff..“

“Everything they serve is really good. I LOVE the kara tsukemen (noodles out, spicy hot). Their staff and management are tremendous: very efficient, aware, professional and friendly. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️“

“fast-casual JP resto 🇯🇵 in the OCAD university food court (aka. the village by the grange). mixed clientele vs student-only in the rest of the food court. it has its own dining room & WC so you don't have to use the common areas of the food court.

focused/tasty menu and beer availability; however it lacks non-alcoholic beer. subtle and original background music; otherwise, it is nicely quiet for dining conversation. pay at the cashier when exiting 💸 CC accepted 💳 high Q/P“

“For the first time today at Hey Noodles, I had spicy food! Warm up! The service attitude is very kind, and food is delicious! I like my fruit tea too, Have wonderful dinner ！ 今天第一次在 Hey Noodles 嘿小面，吃辣辣！暖暖身！服務態度非常親切，好吃又好喝！水果茶也好喜歡，美好的一天！“

“It is a 5🌟 Ramen you must try!“

“Ordered take out today and the food was amazing! Lobster Tom Yum Pad Thai is to die for! ❤️ Very large portions even though they had the in-store promo.“

“Food very good but in very small serving for me. if you do not eat lot should be fine but if not then need to order more. The place is very small, the table small and close each other, not good for big group of people but nice and clean. Washroom is not great but ok if you are not picky. Service is very good. Still give 5 star.

Vegetarian options: Yes

Dietary restrictions: Most have nuts, should tell them if want without nut

Parking: Street parking $2.75 per half hour

Kid-friendliness: I do not think enough space for wheelchair access and place the wheelchair. I can say Not“

“Good service, friendly staff ,“

“I’ve always been a loyal fan of yunshang rice noodles! I come to this location sometimes and it doesn’t disappoint. My favorites are the Spicy Rice Noodle Soup and the Popcorn Chicken. The rice noodles come with free refills for those who dine in!“

“Came here to try a spice bag for the first time and very much enjoyed it. I was warned heavily about how spicy their hot option was and it was indeed very spicy. Highly recommended for any spicy food lovers to give it a try. The shop is cozy with a pretty extensive menu option of Asian classics like teriyaki and General Tso’s chicken. Worth a try if you’re in the area!“

“Affordable and heart warming mixian in Chinatown. The weekday lunch menu includes a free iced lemon tea. The noodles are unlimited and the hot soup is very flavourful with a wide range of toppings. There are a lot of flavours and personally I like the orginial mixian and mushroom soup mixian.“

“It is a 5🌟 Ramen you must try!“

“Had a birthday dinner here with friends last night for Dim Sum and it was great! I will be back again.“

“The dim sum buffet was recommended to me by the bartender at my local wine bar up the hill...and I'd recommend highly. The price is unbeatable and the quality is good. The siu mai were juicy and the chiu chow dumplings were my favourite. Run by a lovely family.

My only complaint is that the quantities of dumplings on the buffet were sometimes limited so that if there are other guests, you might feel badly about taking too many. But they do try and replace them pretty often. I'd just wish for more availability of some like the chiu chow dumplings.

That said, the quality is good and the taste of the dumplings was proper. Really highly recommend the lunch buffet for $16.50“

“I come from a small county near Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Nanchang-style stir-fried rice noodles have been a part of my life since childhood. It’s the aroma rising from street-side woks on early school mornings when I rode my bike to class, the simplest yet most satisfying dinner after long school days, and the familiar taste of campus nights throughout my four years at university.

After moving to Canada, I adapted to many things—but the craving for that bowl of noodles never truly went away. Then one day, I walked into this restaurant, and the familiar scent of wok hei, chili, and savory sauce instantly transported me back to the streets of Nanchang.

The noodles were perfectly cooked—chewy but not sticky, spicy but not overwhelming, flavorful yet never greasy. With the very first bite, I felt as if I were home again, despite being thousands of miles away.

If you’ve never tried Nanchang stir-fried rice noodles, they’re not like the regular stir-fried ho fun you may know—they’re bolder, chewier, and more honest in flavor. Unlike Hong Kong-style chow mein, which leans sweet and crispy, this dish is all about the deep flavor of the sauce and the intense wok heat seared into every strand of noodle. Each bite is packed with soul.

To me, this dish isn’t just a hometown snack—it’s a connection, a comfort, a quiet reminder that even far from home, I’m not alone.

Thank you—for crafting a bowl of stir-fried noodles that comforts the heart as much as it fills the stomach.“

“Always very tasty and friendly staff 😀“

“Small restaurant (about 10 tables) that also seems to do a fair bit of take-out. We have been coming here for about a year and we always have a great experience. The food is delicious and the price is right- best dumplings in Toronto.“
