GB Hand-Pulled Noodles

I had had a busy day, but was determined to find a noodle house for dinner and had seen this one online. It was close to where I was so I went to it. I sat on the outside patio. The wait staff was a young woman Who was excited to be asked her opinion about the menu. In fact, she asked if she could settle someone’s bill so she could then devote her time to explaining it to me, which was great. She recommended a certain dish and when I also wanted to order another she thought it would be too much and suggested I get it next time I came. Good advice. She suggested I order the beef and noodles. It’s on the first page of the menu and I think their signature dish. I was certainly not disappointed. Rich gingery broth with endless broad noodles and delicately sliced beef with cilantro and green onions. I also got her advice on the size of the noodles, which you can pick, And they brought me chili oil so I could organize my own level of heat which I also appreciated. Honestly, I’ve rarely had such an enthusiastic and helpful wait staff before. She was utterly delightful and explained about the noodles from her hometown and the culture Behind it. She was even helpful when I asked about certain etiquette when eating noodles. Anyways, suffice it to say the food was incredibly delicious, authentic and an excellent price. I will absolutely return and I highly recommend this very simple and very excellent noodle house. My bill came to $16 and I was full. I left a $10 tip for her and only wished it could have been more. Well deserved! on the way out, she passed me what I thought was a peppermint and I declined, but she insisted I take it and said it was taro with what feels like Jell-O inside and she was sure I would love it…and Just like everything else… She was right!

Really good spot for spicy broths, chewy noodles and large portions. The meat was so flavourful and soft. Friendly staff, we never got her name but she gave us some great recommendations on what noodles type to get and combos to get

It was my third or fourth time here and I was really happy every single time. The noodles were very chewy, which was the kind of noodles I liked. The soup was very very good, there was a lot of beef, and the portion was large. 100% recommended! The service was very nice and accommodating

Great place for a warm bowl of hand pulled noodles! We tried the house special and their dandan. Both packed with flavor and very generous portions. Service is quick and kind as well. We will come back for sure!

I decided to try this place because they make their noodles fresh and I was not disappointed. I got the brisket beef noodle soup (mild) with thin noodles. The noodles were chewy and plentiful compared to pho restaurants and the broth was delicious. I love that you can choose the thickness of your noodles and there is an option for spice level. I wish the place was bigger.

10/10!!! Noodles are the perfect amount of chewy, broth is soooo flavourful and beef is super tender. Really good size portion and quick friendly service :)

The food at GB Hand-Pulled Noodles was a miss :( The Special Lanzhou Beef Noodles was okay. For the noodles, we got the Thick Medium Wide Noodles which were okay. The noodles appeared to be machine made instead of hand pulled as the noodles lacked that inconsistency in texture from being hand pulled :( That said, the soup base was good and the beef was okay. The Braised Pork with rice and soup was a miss. There was something missing in this dish. The soup was good though.

This is a great establishment! The portions are HUGE, super worth it! As a student, I would come here very often! In picture: braised beef brisket, highly recommend!

Toronto must have the best noodle shops in the world if this one only has 4 stars. Everything was fantastic and super fast! It's a small spot and it fills up fast, but they move folks in and out pretty quickly. Really enjoyed this, and I'm hoping I can get back to try some of the other stuff on the menu.

I ordered the Spicy braised beef, the soup base tasted good, I've had better, the noodles were cooked perfectly, nice and fresh, but my main issue was with the braised beef, it honestly tasted like the beef was previously frozen or at least some bits tasted like it, i understand that there is a bit of fat that is served with this, i always take it out, but man, there was mostly fat and very little beef, the serving was large overall, but again very little beef. if you love beef fat, and i know there are many, this soup for you, if i ever order from this place again, i will stick to the sliced beef soups. But honestly, the place down the street, mogouyan, is so much better.

3.5 stars. This is a tiny cute place with just a few seats. We tried the classic beef hand pulled noodles and a side dish. It was good but nothing stand out compared to some other places we have been. Decent for a quick meal.

Always a winner. We have been GB fans for years, back when the only menu options were for extra noodles and the noodle thickness. The menu has gotten a bit more comprehensive since we were last back, but the quality is still there. Come hungry because even the regular size noodle bowl is more than enough with a generous amount of meat, noodles, and delicious broth.

Yum! I loveee hand pulled noodles and this really hit the spot. The broths were great, especially the braised beef brisket! It even made my list of all time favourite noodle broths! Super flavourful and tasty. You get to choose the noodles type and they even show you pictures of how the noodles will look like for reference. The Lanzhou beef noodles we got in narrow thick, and the braised beef brisket noodle we got in medium wide. Personally I think the narrow thick was a little too dense for my liking but I liked the medium wide noodles. We also got a spicy potato appetizer. Flavour was good. Personally, I would have liked it to be a little more crisp but it was still good regardless. I overheard the table next to us talk about how great the jellyfish was, would love to try that next time. (I'm not eavesdropping I swear! The tables were just close together.) Overall, a great place to get some hand pulled noodles! I highly recommend the Braised Beef Brisket with Medium Wide Noodles!

Had the Lanzhou beef noodles...delicious! Service was quick and food is very reasonably priced.

So good and affordable got to come here! Service was great .and great ambiance.

The location was easy to find. Food was delicious. We had the spicy braised beef extra wide noodle soup. Highly recommended it!

Service was great the place itself is cute little spot downtown I had the beef noodle soup size small was enough a must check out for reasonably price food

Got their small Lanzhou beef noodles with extra wide noodles ($11.99) again and it was amazing again. It literally came out piping hot in 1-2 minutes which caught me by surprise. Was served with some hot water on the side. The broth was so flavourful and there was an adequate amount of meat. Felt so satisfied after this meal! Will definitely return.

Hand pulled noodles are made from simple flour, water, and salt noodle dough, pulled over and over again and folded over after each pull, to get thinner and thinner until it is the preferred thinness. Some Hand Pulled Noodles are thicker, while other Hand Pulled Noodles get so thin that they are almost threads. In this way, a simple Hand Pulled Noodles can become a dozen different thicknesses, and thus a dozen different types of noodles. Chinese Hand Pulled Noodles are all about texture, because textures are one of the major categories in Chinese cooking. Textures, Flavors, Colors and Hotness make up the four major categories when evaluating Good Chinese Food. And Canada is one of the few countries in the world that can offer high quality Chinese Cuisine with these subtle distinctions in place. Needless to say, Toronto has great restaurant scene, and, so does Vancouver, (maybe better than Toronto's), and to some extent, so does Québec, and maybe even Montréal (although Montréal has focused on more 'niche dishes,' like bagels, & pizza). Food-wise, mostly only two cultures have made Canada what it is today: Chinese, and to a lesser extent, French. Outside of these, the third greatest positive influence on the Canadian food scene are the indigenous cultures and the many ancient local ingredients. So if you aren't going to eat "Duck Confit" or "Pâté de Foie Gras" in Québec City, or "Fried Lobster in XO Sauce" in Toronto, you'll be feasting on "Grilled Moose Steaks" in upper Saskatchewan, or "Stewed Seaweed-Berries with Salted Giant Cod" up on the coast of Labrador. Truly, Canada had a unique and underrated World-Class Culinary Scene that has yet to be discovered and explored by the more influential palettes on the planet. I just wonder which of the great (non-US) food cities will be the first to open an authentic "Canadian Restaurant," Paris, Amsterdam, Dubai, Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, Geneva, Shanghai, Berlin, etc. My money is on Tokyo or Amsterdam. Tokyo because they are taken-in by fads there, and Amsterdam because it was the first city in Europe to open an authentic Mexican Restaurant, and because it has easier access to Canadian Ingredients. Either way, I'll be there on opening day, cash in-hand, with my mouth open and my tongue hanging out.

I'm a sucker for hand pulled noodles! I ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup with Extremely Wide Noodles! One of the most delicious hand pulled noodles I've had! The broth was hearty without being too salty. The noodles were perfectly bouncy and chew, my fave! It was so good I had to eat it again for the second time before I left Canada! They let you choose what size noodle you prefer your noodles to be made too!

If you're in a rush, you may need to arrive earlier. Very much a mom & pop operation with little fanfare. I would categorize this as a local gem, and hope it doesn't get busier than it is now - for selfish reasons. The serving size is extremely generous, the soup and spices is just right, and the noodles are to come back for. Keep up the good work!

Was on the look out for some tasty hand pulled noodles. This place was on pretty much every list I looked at. A short walk from the going concern. I went around 2 and had no problem finding a seat. Food came out if an out 4 minutes. Huge portions, I got extra spice which was hot and tasty.

GB Hand-Pulled Noodles is always a go-to for something warm and comforting. The flavour in the broth & meat is amazing with a good amount of spice, and the noodles have the perfect chewy texture. I always order the Special Lanzhou Beef Noodle soup with thick-thick noodles and extra cilantro. Enjoy!

Excellent hand pulled noodles. Really enjoyed the small restaurant feels and vibes. DanDan noodles were nice, spicy and numbing. Highly recommend.

We stopped by recently while visiting Toronto. We were craving some noodles and GB definitely hit the spot. It was a beautiful day, so we grabbed a seat outside. Our service was great throughout our visit. We chose a beef noodle dish and cold Dan Dan noodles. The wait wasn't long and our food came out quick. Both dishes looked great. The flavor of the Dan Dan noodles was excellent. The beef was good, but the Dan Dan dish was definitely our favorite. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely return.

Do you love noodles? Well, this place makes their own noodles from scratch right on location. You can get them in three different sizes. The soup is light and flavourful and I love the chilli oil that they add to the soup if you can handle the spice. A warm noodle soup always leaves one feeling so gratified, nourished and satiated. This place will certainly do that for you. P. S. Does anyone know what the GB stands for?

Value for money noodles Service: The staff are friendly, they check your temperature before you walk in and you write down your information for contact-tracing. Food: Ordered a mega bowl of lanzhou noodles, one of two in our group. It's definitely a huge bowl, big enough for two people to share, but the ratio of the beef and other ingredients (radish, cilantro) seemed to be off and it was just a lot of soup and noodles. Ended up finishing it solo, but it was definitely a struggle at the end, would recommend getting a large for one, or mega with extra beef if sharing. The noodle texture was nice and springy/chewy, you can customize the thickness and you can see they pull the noodles by hand inside. The broth was on the lighter side, but the chili oil helped flavour it. Also had the cucumber and jelly fish and the flavours were spicy and tangy, spot on! Overall: Good spot if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

Amazing broth and the portion is massive! Beef super soft and got some chili oil on the side! Definitely come back!

TLDR: Not recommended. Noodles are not fresh. Bad service. Dirty utensils. Soapy cup. The high rating is because of old reviews. You will notice recent reviews are not great. This used to be one of the best noodle places in the city before the pandemic. The good: 1. Generous portion size. 2. The noodles are not completely terrible. 3. Price. The bad: 1. The noodles are not fresh. Who knows if they are still hand pulled or if they are frozen. All I can say is they are not fresh like before. 2. Terrible service. There is a regular gentleman that serves the food and he looks like he despises working there. He acts like you're bothering him if you flag him down to order or ask for the bill. This same gentleman will also crumple up the chopsticks and napkins in his fist and dump them at your table. 3. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER. You are drinking soap. Look at your cup carefully. Ironically, the utensils are not cleaned properly. Check your chopsticks and spoon. You will notice they are greasy and have residue. 4. Upset stomach. Every time I've eaten there recently, I've had upset stomach. I didn't really think too much about it at first, but after the last visit, I think I know why.

Covid delivery review! First off GB Hand pulled noodles is my favourite dine-in soup go to. Easily 5/5. The delivery experience though not as good is still great to try. The beef noodle soup came separate and you had to mix it together. Disappointed I had no choice of the type of noodle I wanted. Tasted just like the dine in experience however. Just ensure you get fast delivery so you can eat it hot! I also got the roasted pork ribs. Didn't really seem "roasted" but tasted good regardless and got a big portion size which I was happy about. Soups are hard to get perfect via delivery, however GB Hand Pulled noodles comes close. I'd recommend the beef noodle soup if you are reading this.

Tucked away at the north east corner of Edward St and Bay St is GB Noodles. The restaurant has adapted during covid19 with their patio area, which is an extension on the sidewalk and not dangerously on the street (like some other restaurants). Takeout seems to be the popular choice and the ordering counter is now right at the door. Ordering is fast and efficient. I understand that the noodles are the star of the show, but I wish there were more topping options. I pretty much saw either minced pork or slices of beef. Also some veggies (like bok choy) would be a nice addition. There's a wide variety of noodle thickness and I went for an order of thick and thin. I agree with some reviewers that thick noodles give it a bit more texture and chewiness. But I prefer the thin noodles. The soup is clear and generally is smooth tasting, with a bite as a finish - an acquired taste. Overall, not bad and I did appreciate the noodles. However there are many noodle options in Toronto nowadays and I'm likely to rather give a new place a try. Thanks GB Noodles for the tasty lunch!

If you have ever craved noodle soup in any shape or form, you have to stop into GB. There aren't too many choices here -- the majority of the menu is some kind of Lanzhou beef noodle soup. The only differing factors will be the bowl size, type of meat, spice level, and noodle thickness. The broth is clear, perfectly seasoned, and the right amount of beefiness -- not super salty or thick like you would find in a ramen broth, and also not dark like a pho broth. It's such a good comfort food on a chilly day. The noodles are hand-pulled, so whichever you choose, it's bound to have the consistency of freshly made noods. For those of you who like more chew in your noodles, opt for wider.

Tight spot but delicious food so still 5 stars. Ordered side dishes of daikon and spicy cucumber and the plates were full and piled high. Got a small bowl of lanzhou beef noodles (medium wide). Perfect amount of food with lots of flavour. Add your own chilli oil for your desired level of spicy.

Location is great, we had their special noodle soup with the cold chicken appetizer. We asked for the chili oil on the side to adjust the spiciness to our liking. No frills, quick in and out and good value.

this is the perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat. the service is friendly and fast. I personally love any type of noodle soup and if you add hand pulled noodles...well that is just the cherry on top. this soup is savory and light but still has a deep beef flavor. I like the chili oil added on top and asked for extra scallion for garnish. I got the regular/small size which has 5 slices of thinly sliced beef on top of extra wide noodles. the chew on the noodles is amazing. I think in hindsight I would go for wide noodles instead. I'm sad I was only visiting and couldn't try more of the menu but this was the perfect place for my last brunch!

Decided to try this place since we've heard so many good things about it, and to see if its up there on my list of best beef noodle soups in Toronto. We ended up getting the mega beef noodle soup because it seemed like the best thing to share between two people. But honestly, if you were hungry enough you could probably finish it on your own. Noodles are hand pulled in store, and you can choose the lenght/thickness or style you wanted your noodles to be. We opted for the round thin noodles. The broth is nice and light but it still has body. You can really taste the beefiness. The parsley and green onion help cut through the rich soup. One of my favourite things here actually was not part of the noodle itself. But rather it was the chilli oil. The chilli oil was delicious and I probably finished half of the container by myself. Honestly overall it was pretty good, but it didn't blow my mind. Solid beef noodle soup and awesome hand pulled noodles. 10/10 would come again.

Noodles made to order with your meal, that's awesome. It's a very small shop and so I was fortunate to arrive as a seat at the window opened up. This meant that I had my back to the kitchen and didn't get a chance to watch the noodles being prepared. I did get to *hear* them with the occasional loud bang as they were slammed to the table. If loud noises will make you uncomfortable, then get yours to go. I chose the regular "Special Lanzhou Beef Noodles" in the "large" size with my noodles as narrow. Yes, you get to choose from super thin to narrow to thick, flat, medium wide and extremely wide. I enjoyed mine and would like to try the super thin next time. The soup was delicious with a rich broth and the noodles were delicious. Not spicy at all, I added a good sized spoon of chili paste from the condiments at my seat and that kicked up the flavor. Delicious. No beer here. They do have a number of vegetarian options. [Review 11021 overall, 794 of 2019.]

Special Lanzhou Noodles with Beef // GB Hand Pulled Noodles. -- This place is really small, so there was a decent line around noon. It's best not to come here with more than 3 people. At the front of the store, you can see the noodles being made as orders come in (I.e. you can see someone physically making the noodles). Pictured here are my friends extra wide noodles. I got the thick noodles (circular with a big diameter). I would recommend the extra wide noodles tbh, because the extra thick ones had a doughy taste when I chewed it since the soup wasn't able to penetrate into the noodle. The extra wide noodles have more surface area exposed to the broth, so each bite would be more flavourful! Also, they have extra chili oil on the side if you want to make it spicier! I actually found it to be at a good level of spice. Overall a decent portion, and they didn't cheap out on the beef.

Pretty small shop on the corner of the street but everyone should take notice. I love their hand pulled noodles with the super soft braised beef. The soup itself is nicely flavoured but not overpowering. It's just a vehicle for the delicious noodles and meat. It's also a very reasonable price for what you get. My co-worker and I come here often because of how affordable it is. It's a pretty small an popular spot so come a little earlier in case their is a line.

Just as I am writing this review, I want to go get some hand-pulled noodles right now! Consistent deliciousness in a hot steaming bowl, perfect for winter, huge portions and it tastes even better the next day. The service at this location is your old-school Asian-style, get to the point, order your food and receive your food almost immediately. You are thanked at the door (take-out only due to covid), and everyone wears a mask. I recommend getting a thick noodle cut, I like the wide noodles. I get the standard fare, with standard chilis and it's just the perfect amount. They even pack some on the side for you in case you need more. I sometimes have a hard time finishing, and guess what? It tastes even better the next day. 5-stars for the excellent value, and the predictable and quick service. A huge bowl of noodles for $12, and hand-pulled noodles... honestly, how can you go wrong?

Cheap and delicious, two of my favourite words, accurately describe GB Hand-Pulled Noodles. As is typically the case, places like this come with its sacrifices. For starters, there was a line out the door when I strolled in one Saturday for lunch with friends. We were eventually seated, though I found the tables quite packed together - they really maximized the space....to the detriment of comfort. The food makes up for it - I tried the thick beef noodles and they were some of the best I've had. Plus, you can even see your noodles getting pulled and freshly cooked. But, before you're even finished your delicious bowl, you'll find waiters beginning to clean your table and dropping you the bill - you'll definitely feel rushed when eating here.

Went to this place Friday night. Very popular! They had a line and their receptionist or server/door greeter was very quick to welcome us and let us know how long of a wait it would be for a party of 3. It was only 10- 15 mins. Minimal. When we were next to be seated... they took our order. So that our wait time for our food, once seated was cut down considerably. We were only sitting at our table for less than 5 mins before our appetizers were brought to us. Great! We got a couple bites in before our first soup was delivered. We waited until all soups were tabled before eating. The colours in the dishes were spectacular and very appealing! My soup was good. When you order your soup dishes you get to choose your noodle size and type, mine was a med. Thick noodle. I actually would have preferred another type of noodle. But something to enjoy next time. The appetizers were mostly all delicious. And seasoned well. I did not enjoy the cabbage salad as much as I thought I would. To me, it tasted like pickled egg dressing. And their cold chicken unfortunately missed the mark for me as well....they keep the bone in and are able to slice through it, to see the marrow, this provides a cool look. Yet, the quantity could have been optimized without the bone. I would have liked to have the chicken as a protein option to add in the soup, so its warmed and they did not have that. It would be nice to include some seafood options too. They only have beef, vegetable and pork. The egg served with the vegetable soup, is an acquired taste. Personally I like the egg flavour they have in ramen over their version here. Their portion sizes are HUGE! So get ready to have left overs, or if you have a bottomless stomach, at least be sure to wear stretchy pants to accommodate the addition. All in all I would definitely venture here again.

Fresh noodz... you can fully see the man smacking those long noodles on the table at the front of this restaurant. We chose narrow thick noodles for both bowls, the waiter suggested to choose this for the dry noodles we ordered. These were the perfect choice imo, they're not too thick, not too dense, and cooked al dente. The tomato and egg dry noodle was good - very homey, comfort food level. The tomato and scrambled eggs are sweet-ish, and quite refreshing when mixed with the cucumbers in the noodle bowl. Lanzhou Beef Noodles are yummy!! The broth is simple and clean. It comes with a few slices of white radish. Spicy cucumbers were good, they're basically doused in the same chili oil that they give provide on the table. We ordered a large beef noodle and the dry noodles and it was the perfect amount for 3 people. Price is comparable to other beef noodles places! We came soon after they opened for lunch and there was no line up, however further into lunch there does seem to be a lineup!

GB has really Q noodles~ I tried their medium wide noodles with shanghai bokchoy, pork sauce and julienned raw carrots (炸酱面) - pretty authentic tasting, although at home my mom usually uses cucumbers instead. One thing about the uneven consistency of hand pulled noodles is that it can either be over cooked or under cooked. However the noods here at GB are perfectly cooked with the bouncy, springy Q texture that allows you to exercise your jaw without an overkill. The ground pork in sauce is very flavourful but a bit salty, and there was a lot of it left at the bottom of the bowl. I would have preferred to have less meat and more of the meat sauce to mix into the noodles. The unflavoured bokchoy helped cut down the saltiness of the pork, but it was kind of bland. The carrots seemed out of place. Maybe because it was dry and brittle while everything else was juicy af. Id recommend replacing carrots with cucumbers so you get that fresh and juicy taste to replenish fluids after the salty pork. I understand that they want to create a colourful dish presentation...hmm maybe try replacing bokchoy and carrots with bean sprouts? Ive gotten their thin noodles in the beef broth before but personally i prefer wider ones. Kinda because the texture is harder to experience and you can get the same dish in many similar restaurants. The medium wide noods however, has more room for creative pulling and shaping. Also got the hot soy milk (thats how i like my noodle beverage washdowns haha) and the spicy potatoe cold appetizer 凉拌酸辣土豆丝 - the right kick of spice, and very good for tastebud stimulation. Price wise, GB is pretty fair - under 15 dollars for noods. Not sure if i would get the soymilk next time tho. They have wechat pay and alipay which made it a quick transaction. Shoutout here to go to Muji afterwards because the new 2-floor store is done renovating!

Some of the best food I've ever had. Love Vietnamize. Ambiance was top notch and service even better.

GB Hand-pulled Noodles is located in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It has a small location that sits only a few at a time. Be prepared for a wait. It's not super long of one though. The line can sometimes stretch though out the door. The noodles as you imagine are hand pulled which gives it a more organic texture and taste. Less manufactured like some noodle places. Their go to items are the noodle soups obviously. They come in different varieties in terms of noodle shapes. Like flat, thick, medium wide, thin, etc. If you aren't sure just go with what everyone else around you has. The broth is rich and savory. It's packed with spices and veggies along with the meat. This is all in combination with the main part of the meal which is the hand pulled noodles, which are rice based noodles by the way. It's definitely a unique be experience. A lot of places claim they do hand pulled noodles but you never really know what happens back in the kitchen. This place has an open kitchen so you can see the master chef actually pull the noodles. Great entertainment while you're waiting to be seated! Definitely worth check out GBs.

Good taste, price, and size of the serving portions at the restaurant. My girlfriend and I just ordered one big bowl, shared, and still took an entire meal for breakfast for the following day. (See bowl size compared to my face in the picture) I do recommend this place in Toronto for the cold days!

They're then pulled to various levels of thickness. At GB Hand-Pulled Noodles, it ranges from super thin to extremely wide with five other options in between. Hearing people order before me, I decided on the medium wide, which is one notch under the widest side of the spectrum. Visiting during a weekday lunch, the place already had a queue of ten at the door. But, the line moves fairly quickly since they have streamlined operations that would make many automated facilities proud. However, the waiting process is a bit haphazard given they don't give out numbers - you just wait in line and remember who is before and after your table. Once you get near the front, they will ask for the number of guests and as a table is about to clear, you're handed a laminated menu so you place your order before even being seated. Within minutes of taking our seat the appetizer arrives. The Lanzhou spicy beef shank ($8.99) consisted of seven long slices of tender lean beef are tossed in a peppercorn laced chili oil, which looks fiery red but has a very mild heat. My coworker describes it perfectly - you taste the spice on your tongue but not in the throat. Since we visited on a Friday, I ordered the braised beef tendon noodles ($13.99), a dish only available Friday-Sunday. Perhaps it was the first day of the weekend, but about a quarter of the pieces were still hard to bite through and didn't offer that lovely chewy gelatinous texture. The smaller pieces were well braised and tasty. Nonetheless, it really doesn't matter as I was there for the carbs. GB's noodles are one of the better options I've had in Ontario, the dough evenly pulled so even the medium wide noodles didn't become chewy in the centre but mushy around the edges. Moreover, they stayed fairly chewy throughout the meal as it took me a while to attempt to get through the huge portion ... alas, I had to just finish the beef and leave the noodles, a practice my parents have engrained in me as a child. The broth itself was fairly simple and clear, most of the beefy flavours coming from the braised tendon liquids that get spooned into the bowl. Adding some of the chili oil at the table and it became a rich soup that went so nicely with the doughy strands. The bowl is finished off with blanched bok choy, turnip slices, and a sprinkling of scallions.

Delicious! Fresh hand pulled noodles with rich flavours and carefully shredded veggies. Come at 11:45am latest for lunch or you will be waiting forever! Tiny space so not good for big parties

Step 1. Pick your main dish Step 2. Pick the type of noodle you'd like in it HOMEMADE PORK SAUCE DRY NOODLE (5/5) - I chose their narrow thick noodle and loved it's chewiness. The fermented bean sauce was soooo delicious especially soaked up in the ground pork. The vegetables were basic but well done in order to compliment the flavour-packed sauces. LANZHOU BEEF NOODLE SOUP (3/5) - I got it with their flat medium wide noodle which I found was cooked a little too long since the texture was a lot softer and not as chewy as I'd like. The soup was on the saltier side but it was flavourful. There was a good amount of delicious beef slices. Next time, I'd want to try a thicker noodle with the spicy sauce added to the soup as well! JELLY FISH APPETIZER (3/5) - very crunchy and refreshing, but not too much flavour was associated with it. SPICY LANZHOU BEEF SHIN (4.5/5) - very flavourful, not dry at all, and the spicy sauce complimented it so well with the fresh parsley. $8.99 is very expensive for what it is though.

This is a small shop located near my house so I often come here for hand pulled noodles. The portion sizes are pretty big so usually a small is good enough for me. I like to get the flat noodle because I find it to be chewier which I like! The broth is also really nice. They don't have too many options though, so the menu is just pretty simple!

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 3.5 Stars Fill Factor: Filling We came here around dinner time on a weekday and there was a line of roughly 5-6 groups. The wait ended up being around 20 minutes which was not too bad. When you first enter the restaurant you are greeted with one of the chefs skillfully stretching and slamming the dough for the noodles on the table. It was kind of fun to watch while waiting to be seated. The restaurant itself is not very big (probably seats around 20 or so) and the decor is very simple but this is not a place you would linger so it works. One issue I did have is I was sitting near the doorway and the people lining up were sometimes not orderly and ended up standing right next to me speaking loudly which made it very uncomfortable. In terms of food we tried ordering a soy milk and the jellyfish but both were sold out so we just ended up ordering the Lanzhou spicy beef shank and the special beef noodles. The beef shank was not bad but definitely not spicy at all in case you are concerned. The beef noodles were really enjoyable. When it arrived, one side of the broth was covered with chili oil and there was a lot of ingredients floating around. The broth was full of flavour and not too salty while the noodles had a nice "bounce" to it when you bit into them. I ordered the large and felt that it was a good portion which left you full but not overly stuffed as they give a generous portion of noodles. Someone next to me ordered the mega size and unless you are starving it might be a little much to handle. Service was pretty good given how busy they were. The staff went as far as walking out into the cold to give menus and take orders from those in line outside the restaurant. Tables were cleared quickly when patrons left and the next group seated. This is a great option for noodles in the area and I will definitely return to hopefully try the jellyfish this time.

Located across the Red Lobster, it's relatively small on the inside with about 9 tables inside along with bar seating. We ordered the lanzhou beef noodle soup. Between 2 people we just shared a large. But there's also a really large MEGA size which seemed too cool we wish he had ordered that size just because it looked unique. The broth was good however I wish it could be heavier and more rich. Broth was on the lighter side.The sliced meat isnt as flavorful as it is slice very thibg The selling point for me is how fresh the noodles are. They literally pull your noodles when you order your dish. Rather than do them in advance, the guy in the front reads the ticket then starts making your noodles. I'm a fan of the medium wide. And these hand pulled noodles were great. Chewy al dente made it such a great dish to have texturally. Give it a try if you like fresh noodles.

At a Glance: Delicious and affordable, traditional Chinese hand-pulled noodle spot! I ordered a classic large beef bowl with a side of sweet and sour shredded potato. There are a decent number of selections from the menu, but don't expect a lot of variety, they do one thing right -noodles- and that's what they serve! The noodle soup and potatoes were delicious and filling. Small and busy location when I went with 3 of my colleagues. We were seated at a table within 20 minutes. We were served relatively quickly when we sat down because we had already ordered while waiting. This looks like a great spot to come alone and sit at the bar, or smaller parties of 2. It was very fun to be able to watch the noodle puller from time to time!

GB Hand-pulled noodles is incredible! You get the full experience of seeing them making the noodles and BANGING them on the table. This is a great lunch spot for me and my co-workers. We typically come 30 minutes before the lunch rush to avoid how busy it could get. Overall the flavour of the soup is excellent, you can choose the type of noodles to get, and best of all, add as much chilli oil as you want.

Was originally going to grab pizza with my friend at Blaze'd, but since he had 7 slices of pizza earlier that day for lunch, we decided to go here for nooooods. This place serves lanzhou style noodles in a small L shaped joint. When we came at about 6pm, there were still a couple of empty seats; however, by the time it was around 7pm, a line was already forming outside! We decided to be more economical and share a mega beef bowl for $15.99. The noodles came in a massive and generous portion, topped with roughly 8 pieces of beef shank, some sliced daikon, and coriander and scallions. If you're not a big fan of the coriander or scallions, feel free to ask for them on the side like we did! I quite enjoyed the taste of the broth; it was fairly light and refreshing. The noodles arrived al dente, but since it was such a gigantic bowl and we had ordered the thin noodles, they slowly became mushy and soggy near the end. Overall, the noodles hit the spot and provided the ultimate comfort food feels! However, I did find the plain beef bowl to be quite bland and boring as I made my way through the bowl. I kept eyeing the cold tomato egg noodles of the person beside me... Will definitely order that the next time I come!

Came here with a friend on a Thursday night. Super yummy and fast service. The waiter was also very friendly. I ordered their signature noodles and the noodles had the perfect amount of spring and chew to them. The meat was also very tender and melted in your mouth. The pickled eel was also super yummy. Would definitely come back again.
