It was boiling hot here on an evening where it was 27degC outside. Inside it must've been close to 33deg. I was dying of heat & the fans didn't help much. When I turned one to blow on me, a waitress later almost tripped on the fan's base, & I was told politely not to move fans.

I was also given the wrong item & I only ordered two items. The correct item came later when we were ready to leave.

Also, while the food was delicious, I found the portion sizes lacking, especially for the shredded potato salad that was barely a cup for 7$. Whereas in restaurant Ethan I was blown away by how much food they gave, I had the exact opposite reaction here. I rarely leave negative reviews, but unfortunately this place stands out as a place I disliked.

Un restaurant qui n'a rien a envier au restaurant de nouilles d'à côté....
Leurs nouilles faites maison sont un délice.

Notre nourriture était sensationnelle! Les nouilles faites à la main sont excellentes, les bouillons très goûteux! Nous avons tous adoré notre repas. Nous avons également obtenu un très bon service de la part du personnel qui est extrêmement gentil & à l'écoute. La serveuse a bien pris le temps de nous conseiller. Bref, ce resto est un petit bijou, la nourriture très abordable, les quantités généreuses, je le recommande à tous!

This is an excellent Northern Chinese restaurant featuring freshly made noodles that are just as good as the next door noodle show in the window, Nouilles de Lan Zhou. If this restaurant would create a show of now with their people making noodles they would be just as busy. But they do make their own freshly made noodles of all kinds as well as fresh made dumplings & also Dim Sum.

Service: super friendly & knowledgeable. They always push their famous lamb & noodle soup bowl - & for good reason it's awesome. They know their product well & can guide you to a good meal.

Atmosphere: the place is not trying to be a 5-star high end restaurant. This is more like being in china with tables & chairs to accommodate many & family alike. It is a bit cramped but it somehow does not feel this way & instead makes it feel cosy & friendly.
One big note. They do not have a washroom & you have to go into the adjoining building on the second floor to the left. This is not their fault, but the building management does not maintain the same washrooms well at all so go elsewhere if you can.

Food: everything is fresh, freshly made, & very delicious. We sat near the noodle making & kitchen that you can see from the storefront window. It was lovely to watch the chefs make fresh noodles, dumplings & cooking things. I wish it was easier to see the cooking like an open kitchen concept with a view that acts as entertainment.
The portions were fantastic & the quality was present. The soups were excellent & to my surprise even the small size was sufficient to fill me up even though I was super hungry. The dumplings were so fresh & the texture was excellent as well the stuffing.
The star for us was the fresh noodles. They were excellent & I would even say better than most in the Chinatown area.
On my next trip to this restaurant we're going to try some other traditional dishes as well as the dim sum which looked & smelled great with the people next to my group.
