Legendary Noodle House

Love this place so much!!! They have the best noodles in the world. I highly recommend the hand cut noodles with literally any of the sauces. I also really like their house tea, it's so lovely Any negative review has to do with delivery, not even their fault. Ignore them and go in person to try for yourself!

Probably one of the best noodles I have ever tried! We tried the Szechuan Chicken Noodles and the Cut Noodles Wok Fried (Tofu/Egg/Veg). The marinated chicken sauce in the Szechuan Noodles was very flavourful and the noodles were hand made! Both items were very well prepared and were served in decent quantities. The menu is very diverse with lot of good options and the staff gave good recommendations.

Went there last night. It’s a cute little restaurant by the English Bay. I the homemade lemon garlic sauce with thick hand-pulled noodles. It was super flavorful, with the perfect balance of zing and comfort. The noodles had that fresh, chewy texture you can only get when they’re made by hand. Cozy little place, great vibe. Would definitely go back.

Ordered a beef stir fry noodles for $20 on Uber eat. There were only two tiny pieces of beef in it!! Feeling a little scammed.

Delicious food!! You can see the cooks hand-pulling the noodles right before your eyes :D we had such a nice time here!

We went here for Chinese New Year, and it was okay. We were between the soup noodles or the cut noodles but went with the cut noodle dish and beef broth on the side. The beef was amazing, though the lamb flavour was a bit heavy. The beef curry was very good too. We also ordered shrimp dumplings, but they stuck to the paper, making them hard to eat properly. The ginger beef portion was small, and it was overcooked and pretty oily. While some dishes were great, others could definitely be improved.

I wanted to try this place out because the reviews were so good but the food was not it. It just didn't taste good. The siu Mai tasted like it was from a frozen pack from the grocery store. My friend was craving noodles so I took her here but I felt so embarrassed. The server was really nice though.

Impressive portions, quick service, and delicious food; can’t ask for much more. I went with the combo of the handcut cumin lamb noodles, salt and pepper chicken, and hot house tea. The cumin lamb noodles were delicious. Had to take a takeaway box for the leftovers given the generous portions.

I do recommend this place but I have some pretty inconsistent experiences here. I've had their peanut noodles (not the best), the scallion pancake (ok but the peanut sauce did not pair well for me). I've tried to order their veg dumplings but they are usually sold on (and their website states that). This recent experience was better. I ordered their Lemon Garlic Noodles (green beans, broccoli, and spinach). I choose their cut noodles which were incredible. Easy to sink your teeth in. No spinach but did come with a few pieces of bok choy. Beans were not fresh but the sauce was pretty good. The lemon was a wedge which did add a burst of favor. I finally got their veg dumplings which take approximately 15 minutes to prepare. They have chilli oil, soya, and a vinegar (not black) to make a sauce. The dumplings were less than mid. They were missing the filling and were flat (see pics). Price is decent and place is comfortable. Its a good spot for noodles on their good day

Although, they made a mistake on my order, i will still give them 3 stars. The staff was helpful and polite. It is a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant but it was clean. Washroom was clean.

We have been coming to Legendary for years, and it used to be incredible. The last few times were very mid.... When the older guy is there making noodles, the quality improves dramatically! Hoping they can make things more consistent.

Found this place while visiting Vancouver and it was a bit of a hole in the wall. I got an oxtail noodle soup and it was so flavorful. I can't wait to come back and try more!

What a treat to get fresh flavorful noodles that have fabulous sauces that are unbelievable! Can't wait to return!

Delicious hand tossed Asian noodles in a small, quaint, vibrant environment. Delicious.

The food was super good and the atmosphere was really calming. The service was really quick and the servers were really quite nice. I 100% recommend this to anyone who just feels like some noodle soup!

Food is ok and service was excellent and the atmosphere is cool feels like you are in a different country cool booths and decor food came out fast

The food was really good. We got the peanut noodles and the wok stir fried noodles and they were delicious. The waitress was very attentive, and even gave us a whole pitcher of water after noticing my group drank our water very quickly. They also allowed us to split the bill five ways, even though we were being confusing. Very good service and food

I have been a neighbor of this restaurant since the moved in. Four years ago their kitchen fan was broken and making a loud noise at 80 decibels. After 1.5 years and many complaints to the city it was finally repaired. Yesterday I got home a loud electric buzz was coming from the roof of the restaurant just off my balcony. Yesterday I called and requested they have the unit maintained as there is something wrong with it. Today I spoke with the manager "Brook" and asked if he received my message and arranged service. Brook informed me that the unit is new and there is nothing wrong with it. I told him that he needed to have the vendor out as the unit is defective and I can hear it through double pained glass. He cut me off telling me if I had a problem I need to complain to the city. Well I have and I ask you all to boycott this bad neighbor and business operator. This rich person needs to be shown that being a bad neighbor is bad for business.

Great place and always friendly service. Hits the spot on a wet rainy day. Or any day for that matter

Quick service, generous portions. Cumin lamb noodle has lots of lamb , is super greasy in a good way-- can use more cumin for sure, but I'm happy with it. Limited vegan options for my partner as the vegetarian dishes aren't too flavorful.

Cut noodles with curry lamb. Delicious! This is a small restaurant, you can see your food being freshly prepared. The staff is very nice and accommodating. I'd definitely go back and try their soup dishes. The cut noodles is enough for two people.

OMG! The hand cut noodles, there is no way can find such a flavor anywhere else We tried the chicken curry was enough for two people Definitely will go back to try other dishes And don't forget to order the house made tea

More of a 3.5 for the food, but the service want that great so I'm rounding down. The server was nice, but was always on her phone or chatting with colleagues so I literally had to get up and walk over to her and ask her to take our order. Portions are decent for the price. It came to $55 for four people and we ordered two mains and for appetisers. I have an issue with their menu labelling, since they somehow think that shrimp is vegetarian?? I also wish that they would distinguish between vegan and vegetarian options. Ambience and prices are good though. Our food was all served in less than ten minutes, but we came here at 4pm so there were only two other people there. Peanut Noodles (3/5) The sauce was okay, though vegetables were severely lacking. The noodles weren't that great unfortunately, as they clumped together and were rather chewy and doughy. We still finished it, but it wasn't that enjoyable. Just be glad that I like peanut sauce. Pea Shoots (5/5) These were surprisingly the highlight of the whole meal. The vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly, which is super difficult to do with pea shoots. Flavours were great, and we had no complaints whatsoever. Vegetable Dumplings (2.5/5) I didn't like them that much as the flavours were a little strange for some reason. However they were served hot so that is a plus. Fried Rice (2.5/5) Got this for my brother to go and it was very oily when he ate it. We also specifically asked for no peas but they forgot. Salt and Pepper Chicken (3.5/5) These were alright, according to family. The flavour and texture was decent, but again, nothing spectacular. Spring Rolls (4/5) These were pretty decent. There was a lack of filling and it was too much deep fried dough, but the sauce was good and they were served hot. Not bad, but not great either. Overall this place is alright. If you're just looking for average quality comfort food that will full you up for a cheap price, then this is the place to go.

I heard good things about this place so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Brisket Noodle ($12.25) which came with tender fatty beef with spinach and green onions and paid $1.50 more for a side of fried chicken. I found the beef and noodles to be very well made. Thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back next time I feel like beef noodle! The side order of fried chicken ended up being too much food for me (a relatively big eater) since the size of the noodle is actually quite big for the price. Parking in this region of Denman can be difficult (and expensive) so I recommend taking the transit or walking if possible. However, if you are lucky - you may be able to scout out the 2 hr free residential parking spots in the neighbourhood.

This once was one of our favourites. Something has changed. Food is ok, but once was amazing! Ordered our standbys, dumplings, noodles in spicy peanut sauce. It was blah, bland and boring. Such a shame, this place was once always exciting yummy flavours....not today. A twenty something server who was way, I mean WAY!! more interested in her phone than her tables (or tip for that matter). Sat for 20+ mins waiting for the bill :(( Couldn't want any longer, got up interrupted the servers text messages and asked for it. Take a miss on this place.

Pan fried noodles were sooo good I could eat every Day.. Soft and chewy hand made hand cut.. These guys have noodles dialed

The best noodles I've ever had! Definitely memorable. The vegetable dishes are also great. I wish I could find a restaurant this good in Texas..

The noodles were fantastic! I went to this restaurant after reading the reviews from yelp. It was our first meal in Vancouver. I LOVE Handpulled noodles and most restaurants just does the soup base version. I wanted to try something different so I ordered the stir fry and it was sooo delicious! I know the noodles had alot of salt and oil but man it was tasty. I am still craving their noodles and cannot wait to go back the next time I'm in the city.

Went there with my family visiting beautiful Vancouver. The noodles were spongy, dishes were oily. The snow pea leaves appetizer and the shrimp dumplings were about the only thing memorable there. The scallion pancakes were flat and did not pair well with their peanut sauce. The pan fried pork dumplings were bland and absolutely tasteless. The soup dumplings went from a serving of 6 to 4...our waiter said they "are bigger now"... if they were then they would have tiny as h*ll. The ones that they brought to us were about 4 to 5 cm in size!! They also tasted like they were frozen and not covered properly or old. I have had my fair share of growing up eating dim sum and dumplings....and this was BAD. I kindly and discreetly advised the waiter and he advised the cook, who seemed to have been offended by the respectfully given critique. In a normal restaurant or eatery, if food is obviously ridiculously bad it is normally offered to be removed from the bill...but in typically (unfortunately) Chinese fashion...the cook was bitching in the native Mandarin tongue (which i can somewhat comprehend) and no amends were made to that end. Bad food, so so embracing of the quality of their dishes and blatant disregard for honest respectful commentary about their dish. Well...what else is there to say, but have other options at hand? As for my family and I we wound up going somewhere else for our dinner...a marked improvement by far.

I ordered Cumin lamb cut noodle,Lanzhou Jeff noodle soup,Salt and pepper chicken Small Cozy restaurant and you can see chef's noodle show I liked it

This is my second review of Legendary Noodle. My spouse and I promised we'd return when next in Vancouver, and return after several years we did. Legendary Noodle was worth the return visit! While we didn't record our precise order for this review, we can share we began with tasty spring rolls and then had a big bowl of soup and a big plate of noodles. Everything was delicious! Only a couple of blocks from the beach, Legendary Noodle is a perfect stop before or after a visit to English Bay Beach. The booths are compact, and the restaurant is small and narrow, but with the doors wide open, it is almost like eating al fresco. Service was again friendly and quick. The portions were delicious and generous and our meal was very affordable. We definitely recommend the Legendary Noodle on Denman Street near English Bay and will gladly return if we're in Vancouver again. In fact, we've upgraded our review to 5 stars!

This place is Legen (wait for it) DARY! It's been 5 stars all the way every visit. The decor is like stepping into a small dimly-lit, magical hideaway decorated with authentic Asian touches. Each time I ask what one of the really cool wooden implements are. But, it's the food. Oh the food! Here's what we order: brisket noodles (watch as they are made in the glass-fronted kitchen), peanut noodles with chicken, lamb cumin noodles, pea shoots and "soup dumplings" or Xiaolongbao. I like to vary the noodles but it's interesting - how some shapes and widths really suit the sauce better than others - in each dish. If anyone says the house tea is not worth the money (gasp) simply refer to the pic with this review. It tastes as good as it looks. Whenever we go, no one can agree on what is the best dish. The only consensus is we all decide to lick our plates.

Been a repeat-customer for the last 10 years! Nice place to grab a cold glass of beer or their good iced tea after a day at the beach. It's real nice to have a go-to place in the West End for hand-pulled noodles. Whether you're craving saucy or soupy noodles, this place is pretty solid. Last time I was there I had beef with flat noodle in the garlic chilli sauce. Beef was nice and tender.

The owner installed a very noisy fan that is disturbing all the surrounding neighbours who live around the restaurant. This is NOT acceptable and extremely disrespectful to your fellow neighbours. I will NOT be eating here or recommending this place to anyone! Get that horrible fan fixed ASAP because you are literally ruining people's lives as the cannot live with this noise pollution. There are too many other places with better noodles around for you to think that you can just do anything you want without consequences!!

I only had a quick take out order, but it was all good and plentiful. The lemon dumplings with peanut sauce were awesome with lots of sauce worthy of keeping. They make the noodles right there in front of you. The atmosphere at night is kind of dark and intimate and cozy, with small tables in a smallish room. I think it might be fun place for a dinner date. Want to come back with someone and spend some time enjoying the ambiance, and try a few more dishes.

Dropped in here unexpectedly on a Saturday to give it a shot, and it wasn't very busy even though it's a small locale, which is nice. The decor was interesting, but the place was surprisingly dark and poorly lit on the inside. The staff was friendly though, and the prices aren't too high. The noodles were fine, but that's about it. I had wide-cut gan ban mian noodles in a spicy peanut sauce, and while it tasted decent the noodles weren't quite as chewy as I like, and I was expecting a reason for the "spicy" warning next to the menu item - I didn't taste any spice at all, sadly. My friend joked that maybe they saw I was white and toned it down, but I like spice! My friend had the hot and sour soup and also found it to be just okay. They also served green onion pancakes that looked more like flatbread than the Taiwanese sort I'm used to, which was a bit surprising. Nothing was bad by any means, but I wasn't left feeling very impressed or interested in coming back. It might be that it's a particular regional cooking I'm not as used to, but it didn't delight me the way other Chinese restaurants or noodle houses have. I'd be open to trying it one more time to see how a meat dish is, though!

Whoa! Can't believe this was my first time here. Your option of handmade noodles (thick, thin, flat, or round) stretched right in front of your eyes. I had the spicy mustard and pork soup noodle ($10) and shared a side of pea shoots ($5.50) and juicy pork dumplings ($7.50). Everything is tasty, great value and fair portions. My only complaint is that the juicy pork dumplings came with white vinegar and not red! (Now I'm just being picky.) Limited space. They accept debit and credit. HELL YES TO NOODLES.

Just watched the cook drag a large amount of dangly snot out of his nose and then continue to blow it right in the kitchen. Didn't wash his hands right after and then carried on with cooking. Our food had just arrived and my girlfriend told the waitress what she had seen and said she wasn't going to eat anything. The waitress apologized and told the cook but didn't comp us anything and left us with the full bill. Unacceptable kitchen/wait staff.

Take out order review: Cumin Lamb Noodles are my absolute favourite noodle dish. The noodles were absolutely delicious - thick, hand pulled, chewy, saucy goodness! Generous portions. The lamb shank in the noodles was a little fatty for my tastes but it made the flavour all the better and it was very tender. I also got an order of their dumplings in peanut sauce - delicious! I can't believe I haven't tried this restaurant since it is so close to my place until now! I placed an order through my ritual app and the food was ready on time and the pick up was smooth. When I was in the restaurant there were a few socially distanced tables occupied by satisfied looking diners at 7:30pm on a weekday - so it looks like it is a popular destination. The beef noodle soup will be my next take out mission from Legendary Noodle!

This place is great. Usually cheap, good, and with ambiance do not fall into one place. Hand spun noodles in a tiny place with moody lighting and decor,.. and good flavours for like $7-8 lunch special prices. Just go, I'm telling you it is worth it and some of these lower scores, those people can stuff it!

This is the second time I have ordered for this restaurant. The food is okay but they lack the ability to get there ordering online system to work well. The first time I ordered from here I was sent a notice of my order, with a confirmation number. When I arrived to pick up my order they said they last it or maybe I didn't place the order. I showed them my confirmation email and then they said that they are having computer issues. They asked if I wanted to place my order now and wait outside for it, since the restaurant was full. I declined and left with out even a simple sorry from the staff. Tonight I decided to give them a second try and ordered online again. Everything went smoothly and they had my order when I showed up. I looked in the bag and I was missing one of the dishes. I only ordered two items so it was petty easy to notice something was missing. I asked her about the other item and the staff member said that they just ran out of that item. A feel that a call or text msg to tell me that my order will be short an item would have been better than showing up only to be told, after asking that I will no get my full order. To icing on the cake was that they tried to charge me for the missing item! I'm sorry Legendary Noodle. I don't play baseball, two strikes and you're out!

A great place to get fresh hand pulled noodles. Not the most spacious restaurant but our family of 2 adults and 3 kids were lucky enough to be seated right in front of where the staff makes the noodles. The staff was super friendly and accommodating as well. We ordered two noodle dishes and a green onion pancake. The beef brisket noodle was delicious and the meat was super tender. The spicy pork with preserved vegetables was also very good and was even better when adding some of their house hot oil. We tried both the thick and thin noodles and, while both were the same dough, both provided different mouth feel. Unfortunately, the pancake was not a favourite as it was too bread-like and not very fragrant with the green onion. It did come with a peanut-like sauce but that ended up masking the whole pancake itself. Will definitely come back again to try some of their other options.

While we were eating the owner and her husband waited outside pretend to drink tea but In fact, she was secretly watching for ppl to not dine and dash. And because she can't run far. That's where the hot tea comes in handy. * just kidding. Not really. The food was really good. I couldn't finish my dish the first time so I took it Togo and some leaked into my bag and I couldn't get the smell out for the longest time. So I end up coming back for round two.

Excellent made to order noodles. you choose between thin, thick, flat, round. variety of sauces to accompany Lemon garlic, creamy peanut, chopped tomato egg. YUM! loved the french beans w/pork

One of a kind. Intimate, cozy. A place where noodles are made right there as we were back in China. I just love this restaurant. Great prices well served and so welcoming one wish one could live on English bay. Visited several times and never fails. Highly recommend for locals and tourists.

I have ordered the same thing every time I go because it's what I crave and the reason I go back! Green Onion pancake, garlic pea shoots, lemon garlic thin noodles(veggies only)! So yummy every time!

If you enjoy noodles please eat here!! They make your noodles from scratch to order, you can choose your size of noodles and also level of spice you want. This is a sit-down intimate restaurant with a menu so you can order different combos. I'd recommend the lemon garlic noodle dish or Chinese curry. There is a glass wall you can see the chef at work which is really neat to watch him make a noodle masterpiece just for you!

Haven't been to this restaurant in years but decided to give this place another try and it was pretty good. The noodles were delicious but dishes may have needed a bit more spice or flavour. But it was good, I would come back to try the soup noodles.

So so hungry and I was looking for noodles. The first time we dropped in to this restaurant was a few weeks back. We sat at a booth for 15 minutes and no one was insight. It was unfortunate but we left. This time we stayed but unfortunately still...... the food is nothing to rave about. We ordered the spinach vermeclli with creamy peanut sauce appetizer and egg rolls (that came out after our entrees.) I had the spicy szechuan chicken. It was runny and not spicy at all. It just lacked a lot of flavor. I kept tasting things unexpectedly that I could not identify and it threw my palette off. The seating is tight and not everything can fit on the plate. I won't return nor do I recommend. I just don't feel like much love is put in to creating these dishes.

We ended up eating at Legendary Noodle House on Victoria Day when many of the restaurants we planned to eat at were closed. Surprisingly, despite its mediocre Yelp ratings, the house made noodles were good. We ended up ordering the green onion pancakes (with peanut sauce), steamed juicy pork dumplings, and I got the beef brisket, stir-fried cut noodles. I loved the texture and chewiness of the noodles, although the quantity of beef brisket was lacking. The xiao long baos were well made, a little thick on the skin, but good enough to retain that pipping hot soup within. As for the green onion pancakes, I've never had an accompanying peanut sauce for dipping, but it worked out well. They also have free wi-fi here for those from the states who need to peruse their next destination or pay for metered parking.

Over the past year, I've given Legendary Noodle a few chances to wow me. Their pea shoots, still delicious. Their xiao bao long, respectable. But even the sauciest sauce lover out there (ah hem, that's me I'm referring to) can't help but say WTF when a noodle dish arrives SWIMMING in salty sauce. I expect more out of a black bean sauce than what I can buy at a store. No scratch that, I expected less, less sauce. Thicker sauce. Tastier sauce. Less salt, more flavour. Could it hurt to add a black bean or two? Even just one on top for show? Yes, their hand pulled noodles are chewy and delicious, but when the sauce, topped with a bit of ground pork and some diced mushroom is all that is floating in the "broth" I can't help but shake my head at myself. What am I doing here in the first place? Right, pea shoots to go please!

My wife and I were on a vacation trip and luckily stayed at a very nice hotel next to this little restaurant. We live on the peninsula in the San Francisco bay area and eat at Chinese restaurants at least once a week, so we are always looking for this kind of restaurant. First off, you have to practically climb up the entrance step to get in. The decor is authentic Chinese furnishings, brought from China. The service was excellent and we had a very pretty young Chinese woman taking good care of us. I speak a little Mandarin and maybe that helped. In my quest for old style Chinese food I am always on the lookout for homemade noodles, and this restaurant has it in spades! I was amazed at how the cooks can flip around the dough and stretch it into thin, thick or flat noodles (depends on how many times they stretch it). My wife ordered the "Beef Broth w/5 pieces Pork Dumplings" and I ordered the "Beef Broth with Sliced Marinated Beef, Spinach, Green Beans". Both came with the slim homemade noodles. The broth was very tasty and the veggies were cooked just right. We came back the following day around 11am, their opening time, and we were the first eager customers to be seated. I only wish this restaurant would open one exactly like this in our area ;o(

The quality is fine however the noodle Is too less for a man, and the side dishes really sucks

This place deserves a better review than 3 stars. Nothing beats fresh hand cut noodles! How many noodles places do you know now a days cuts their own noodles? The only place I know is this one. Ordered: 1. thick and fat cut noodles in lamb soup - the texture of the noodles are so chewy and bouncy. The soup taste like sour cabbage lamp soup, which is exactly what I love! 2. cold soy sauce tofu - perfect, hadn't had better else where. A little of sweet soy with garlic and green onion ~ nothing wrong. 3. spicy chicken wonton - not spicy enough and not what I imagine it to be like; I could not order this dish again. 4. pan fried chive box - crispy, hot, delicious and freshly made, but not how I imagine it to taste like. Not bad, but not something I want. Tip: The review doesn't give this place what it deserves. Come & try it yourself cause the worst it you give them another bad review and not return again right ^^

For once a place that claims greatness ACTUALLY lives up to it (scornful glance toward "Seattle's Best"). Huzzah! There are several vegetarian options here that are good, but I recommend the hot and sour soup. Seriously the best soup of my life!!! It's got a hot punch to it, but it's probably about a 2-star level of spicy. If you want it hotter, they'll do it! You can change what noodles you get in it, but the house noodles are made there (in front of you!) and are great!!! To start the vermicelli noodles and spinach with peanut sauce is really good! They have a light peanut sauce that isn't overwhelmingly peanut-buttery like some are. Yum! Get the tea! I recommend Jasmine Pearls (it's better than the regular jasmine) and the Chrysanthemum is good too. The one thing about the tea though is that it's loose leaf and they don't give you a strainer- ie. drink carefully or your date will be pulling green leaves from your teeth! It's a little small, so any groups over 6 might not fit well.

Really reeeeeeeeeeally nice! How's that for a review? The noodles appear to be freshly made - was watching one of the cooks make them, then straight to cooking them! I have *never* tasted noodles like it! My supermarket packet ones will forever pale in comparison. I ordered the creamy peanut sauce with chicken and thick noodles. Was super tasty, though I feel it masked the noodles. Next time I'll go for a beef broth. Great decor inside, cozy little booths. I already want to eat there again!

The noodles were hand stretched. I didn't know what that meant until I saw the cook hand stretching the noodles. I just hope his hands were clean. I had beef in a broth with spinach. It was good. My partners dish was better. We also had pork chive steamed dumplings. They were good. Was all good. Just good. The restaurant was tiny and it felt like how I would imagine a back alley restaurant in Hong Kong might feel. Was cool.
