This is one of my go to places for cheap eats in Toronto. Nice hot broth and unlimited rice noodle refill for less than $15. Great place to go if you’re looking to carb load. Service is fast and there is ample seating so I never have to wait.

Quite the experience. I was very pleased with the presentation and the quality of the food. The noodles were light and the veggies fresh. The proteins are good in size and taste. The salty chicken was a WOW moment!!! Man that was enjoyable. We found the service to be fast and friendly. The atmosphere is very warm and fuzzy as the wooden tables adds a warm ambiance.
The price was very reasonable for the amount and quality of food we had.
Totally recommend this location.

The beverages were super good, absolutely worthy the $5! Everything was so fresh and not to cold and not to hot. Perfect food temperature. Spent under $50 for two people. However I do wish their customer service was more consistent, the server didn’t talk to us once she gave us the menu and left for the whole night. Customer servers non existent, no Thank You and no Goodbye after I paid

I passed this restaurant time to time , and this day I’ve finished my swam, my friends and I decided to tried this restaurant ,at first we came in the waitress was quite slowly to hosted us and showed our table was, and we sat down looked the menu around 6-8 mins later, water isn’t served yet, and we ordered 4 main dishes, I have to say the foods are really delicious and taste, we both were refilled the noodle 3 times although I guess it’s time closed to finished all the staffs are really casual and did their own things not too take care of customers, all the staffs are really unprofessional and chatting to each other quite loud ,I saw one of the situation ”waitress gave a bill to other table” and in the end, we asked for bill, one of waiter he asked us to came to desk for pay, so I was wondering what a double operation.
It was a really unforgettable experience.

This is a very busy location. Every time I passed by, there's always a long queue. Wait was about 20 min when we went for dinner on a weekend. I came a few times with friends since their opening.

You get a piece of fancy, fully-colored menu paper to write what you want to order. But I can only imagine how many of those single-use prints they go through everyday...
Service was good, the servers were attentive enough to fill our water and warned me about the soup being hot.
Taste
The Original Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodle Soup w Beef Slices came with a tray of sides for you to put into the boiling broth. The Signature Rice Noodle Soup with Braised Bone-in Pork came with everything inside the bowl already.
In both cases, the dish turned out to be more salty than I would like, and I normally have a high salt tolerance. The marinated egg was a tad cold, dry and hard to chew.
You do get unlimited refill of the noodles, which is a great.
Price
The noodle soup averaged around 11-13 dollars pre-tax, which is the standard noodles soup cost nowadays.
Would I return?
Only if my friends really want to come.

Tasty food, great portions, and rich broth. Warms you up and is very satisfying.
Simple restaurant, but it's great on a cold or sick day.

So pleasantly surprised with Dagu. I have been eyeing this place for a while with the always filled seats and often long lineups. Totally exceeded my expectations.
The noodles were good - a little soggy. The soup bases can be a bit oily depending on which one you order. The spicy ones are not too spicy, but they have chilli oil on the table to add to your taste. They also claim not to add msg which is great. The Taiwanese fried chicken is delicious, but I think msg is added. The lamb skewers were SO good, juicy and I highly recommend them.
The service is very attentive compared to other Chinese restaurants in the city.

I came here after some solo shopping, I wanted something warm, and I always saw this place when walking around the Eaton center. There weren’t many people inside, probably because it was an hour before closing, but the atmosphere was chill. So was the service. They answered any questions I asked with no judgment, even the stupid ones like where is the bathroom even though it was right in front of me.
The food was OK. It wasn’t anything you couldn’t get anywhere else, at least the quality. I’ve never seen a noodle place where the ingredients come separately. But I like that, as you can pick and choose which ingredients you actually want in your soup. I would say the level of meat is pretty low, I only got 3-ish pieces of meat (it’s the really thin hotpot meat too). But I was full and warm by the end of it and that’s what matters.
I got the watermelon juice with it, and it tasted like real watermelon and wasn’t the overly sweet artificial ones, so it paired really well! I wish it was a bit colder.
It was relatively cheap, or I suppose average price for Toronto.
Thank you for having me :) I’ll be back
