Alright, let's go over the good, the bad, & the in between in as much detail as I can provide. I went there with 2 friends, & we got the Coco Curry & the Taipei Beef Noodles
First, the in between:
The place is small, with only 3 or 4 seats at a small table in front of the window. It was clearly not intended to be a sit-down restaurant, but more of a take-out place. That's not a bad thing, but it is important to know that before you go there.
The menu is quite small with 6 items total. Half of those are dry noodles meaning there is no broth base, & the other half have a broth base (I will refer to these as'wet noodles' from now on). Again this is not a bad thing, with less variety, it often means the dishes they do make are better than normal since they specialize in them.
Now the bad:
Reactions to the food were mixed, but overall very positive. & if the overall impression is positive despite this being the'bad' section, that should tell you something. The main complaint I heard from friends was that the noodles didn't quite fit the broth. While I personally disagree with them, I felt it was important to include their thoughts. They said it'was still good noodles, I just don't think it complimented the broth.'
The only other complaint I heard was'It seems expensive' which they said before we ate the food, & got a good look at portion size & such. In total, with tax & tip, it comes out to around $30 for a bowl of noodles, though I will note we did buy the more expensive options from the menu, & will further state that all of the wet noodles are at this price point. 2 of the dry noodle options would be around $25 instead.
Now the good:
It was filling, & I feel this is especially important to note after talking about price. I generally can eat a lot, & I finished my dish feeling I did not need to eat more, but also not like I was bloated. Perfect portion size for me. Personally, I think that the $30 price point was good for the amount of food I got, the quality of that food, & the sense of fullness it gave me.
The broth was delicious. I tried the Taipei broth, it was very tasty, & my friend who ordered it is convinced they chose the better bowl, & I disagree with them. I think the Taipei bowl had broth more akin to typical ramen, & it was done very well. The Coco Curry, Which I ordered, was also delicious, but is definitely not your typical ramen broth, from my experience. The soft coconut flavor is complimented by a slight spice that gives the broth a great overall flavor, very much akin to an actual curry. I could see myself getting either of the two bowls again in the future. I cannot stress this enough, the broth was the best part of the dish for me & my friends.
I give 4 stars only to account for my friends opinions that the noodles did not compliment the broth. I will be going back some time in the future & will try one of the dry noodle options to see how I feel about the noodles without the delicious broth.View more
This place is a a gem. It can be difficult to find Southeast Asian noodle dishes in Montreal, but this place has several tasty options. I had the coco curry noodles, which is based on Singaporean/Malaysian laksa. This was delicious. My partner had the Jakarta noodles, which are based on bakmi. This was very flavourful. The place itself also just smells delicious. I would highly recommend a visit.View more
