Hand pulled noodles are pretty good. Not salty. Serving is big and food is made fast. Comes with free soy milk. Definitely a must-try.

I ordered a knife shaved soup noodle with a chicken leg. The noodle had a chewiness, and it was obviously freshly made. The noodle broth was delicious. Somehow I thought the chicken leg would be a marinated one. Nope, it was deep fried. Maybe it was not my lucky day. The leg itself tasted dried and dated. If the leg was fresher, it would have been delicious, because the crusty skin was packed with devious flavours.

This is my new favorite place in the FMP food court. I have tried several things on the menu(hand pulled noodles, knife shaved noodles); the best is definitely the lion’s head(meatball) with hand pulled noodles. They also have a bunch of condiments on the side including a delicious sesame chili oil. I prefer the hand-pulled noodles as all the noodles are cooked consistently as opposed to the knife shaved noodles, as they are all different sizes and thickness, some pieces are overcooked compared to others. All noodles come with a soy sauce marinated boiled egg, a few pieces of greens and soya milk. Though the price is slightly above average for food court(~$ 8 – 9 after tax), you do get a portion large enough to fill you up; I’d say its one of the better options, perfect for a cold fall day! The only downside is that this place is new and they need to work on being more efficient; as I had to wait ~15mins for my noodles to be made on a weekend afternoon.

We came here to try the soup noodles. We ordered the ribs hand shaved noodles. This is not what we got. No ribs at all, it was a bowl of noodles with a fried piece of pork on the side. Not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting braised riblets in the bowl of noodles. Very misleading. I don’t think I will return. Soya milk was sour too.

Enjoy the braised beef noodle with long noodles. We usually opt for extra noodles and meat and share. The drink you get for free is sugar cane juice but really watered down. Besides that, I really like the noodles here.

I came after work on Thursday and it wasn’t that great. I ordered the braised beed noodles. The noodles weren’t cooked through so it was raw. I brought the noodles back and the lady was nice about it and asked the kitchen to replace them for me. Yeah, the second time the noodles were simply mush. The soup base was watered down and lacked the correct seasonings. I wonder if it’s because it was so late at night so they ran out of soup? It’s also weird how the chili oil wasn’t spicy nor hot either? I probably wouldn’t be back since there’s just way too many choices at fmp.

Noodle Soup is the newest food stall in the First Markham Place food court, and is also known as Tian Hao Yun. Noodle Soup serves lanzhou hand pulled noodles, another thing that was lacking in the food court. They have the ramen styled noodle, as well as the knife(Shanxi) noodle that’s quite common in many noodle restaurants(e.g: Magic Noodle). They pre-make, shave, and pull the noodles beforehand, so you won’t hear the table slamming procedures in here unless they run out of noodles. I had the braised beef noodle soup, which came with a small iced milk bubble tea. The noodles were actually very good, and are about the quality you get in Magic Noodle et al. The braised beef was okay, however the broth was quite oily. As for the bubble tea, take it for what it is since it came with it, as it’s certainly no Chatime, Presotea, etc. I’m starting to really like the increased diversity of foods available in the food court, and Noodle Soup is definitely a good addition to the lot.
