Noodles are fresh hand made noodles, and this place seemed like it was one of the busier food vendors in the food court of the Richmond Public Market resulting in longer than expected wait times for the food; but the wait was worth it as the bowl of noodles was extremely flavourful with really good texture and just the right amount of heat from the chilli oil. Tender pieces of pork were evenly distributed throughout the bowl. It was a nice touch that they served this in a porcelain bowl instead of a plastic bowl despite being located in a food court!
DELICIOUS food. Huge portions, everything was sooo tasty and reasonably priced too. A must visit for an authentic Chinese cuisine experience in Richmond! Cash only
Great spot for authentic xi’an cuisine. Fast service and kick ass lamb skewers and bang bang noodles.
Fresh hand-pulled noodles right before your eyes. You have to try this place when you’re at the Richmond Public Market. The chef, which is also the cashier, takes your order and makes your noodles. There isn’t a bad dish on the menu. Just order and enjoy. The noodle is cooked to the exact texture; A la dente. Broth for the noodle is amazing. Just the right amount of spice and salt.
Have you ever had noddles served in a plastic bag from a street food vendor in China? Well, this comes pretty close to the taste. You will make your order with a Chinese gentleman, who will offer you hot tea as you wait for your order. He will ring a bell and call your order out in a sweet melodic flow to alert you once your food is ready. He will look out into the distance like a chinese father looking for their son until you pick up your food. I got #9 with extra spicy - fried hand sliced noodles with lamb for 13. Great noddle texture, hand sliced perfection and great distribution of lamb for every bite to be a explosion of flavour. Condiments of extra chilli or vinegar on the side. Great value for authentic flavour from this family owned shop. You are going to get alot of noddles, so you may have enough noddles for another meal or 2.
I love this place. The lady who runs the place is kind and welcoming . The Chinese hamburger is served hot and juicy, what an interesting dish. The pancake roll is crunchy on the outside and the meat inside is tender and flavourful.
My family and I have come here so often it’s our favourite place in the market so far. We usually get the lamb or beef noodle soup. The hand pulled noodles and soups are delicious. We also tried the steamed and fried pork buns both delicious and juicy. Steamed ones were a bit cold but we couldn’t wait to heat them up at home.
Great tasty fresh hand made noodles. I've been a regular at least for the last 10 years. One of my favorite place for lunch! The chili oil needs to be more spicy.
