This place is pretty good!!! We got the STIRFRYHANDCUTNOODLES and the texture was amazing!!! Nice and chewy! Also tried the DUMPLINGSINHOUSESAUCE, the dumplings were ok, the flavour was ok but wasn’t the best dumplings + sauce I’ve had All meals come with soup and soy milk! It’s good value!!!

The hand pulled noodles are alright, with a good chew to them. I got the beef brisket noodles, although it was more tendon than brisket. That was quite a disappointment. The beef itself(when I found the meat and not the tendon) had star anise flavor, but it was uneven, and the soup tasted more watered down than it needed to be. I also wanted more veggies than the few that I saw swimming in other people’s bowls. When I asked the lady how much it was to add more veggies, she said $ 2. In my mind, I was thinking $ 2?! It had better be a lot more greens. She even said there would be a ton. So I fork over two extra coins. Sadly, not a ton more. More like decent but not worth the extra cash. Then I found out that anything extra is $ 2, including meats like beef. LOL you guys now know! I’m really on the fence about whether to go back and try their dan dan noodles, which some people rave about. At this point though, I’m still on the hunt for great beef brisket noodles.

Grabbed a bowl of freshly made hand pulled noodle with spareribs for $ 6.75. Comes with a cup of soya bean drink. The noodles were spot on with a nice chew to it. The ribs were okay and tasted decent. Portions were filling and fair for the price.

This place is one of the better food options in Pacific Mall food court upstairs. We got their dumpling noodle soup. Price was around $ 7. Only waited 5 mins for the food. Food was fresh, soup was tasty. Nice and hot. The pork dunpling was just okay. Over-all a good value for your money. Place wasn’t so busy on a Monday late afternoon. Would come back for more soup, as they have a pretty decent selection of items. Review 51 of 100

If there’s one thing I miss about Japan it’s the food. Trying to get authentic Japanese fare here is next to impossible. I’ve come quite adept at making some Japanese staples like gyoza & tonkatsu but certain things like tantanmen is still beyond me. I can make an approximation but I can never get it right. That’s part of the reason that whenever I go back, there are certain restaurants I hit just to be able to get my fix so to speak. So imagine my surprise when somebody told me about the Dan Dan noodle soup they had here. I’m of course aware that Tantanmen is the Japanese version of the original Dan Dan noodles but as I’ve literally never found a place in Toronto that sells this. At best it’s the Chinese version served without soup and sometimes even served cold. It’s really not what I want. But I heard of this and had to give it a try. One taste was all I needed and it was like I was back in Tokyo again. It’s by no means the best but it’s the best I can get and that includes what I make for myself. The soup is good. It’s spicy and just thick enough without being too thick. But the noodles are the star. They have just the right amount of chewiness to them and are pulled fresh all day long. I really can’t say enough good things about the noodles here. You just need to come and try them and I’m sure I’m going to be a regular here.

Spicy — Roasty– Tasty and this is just me describing the broth of the Dan Dan soup spicy. However the highlight has to be the noodles. Never have I ever said that about a noodle being delicious. Not the spices that make the soup– i am talking about the actual noodle. However with these noodles made right in front of me. A worker literally banging them and scaring the pants out of everyone who just walks into a very tiny food court. One of the best tasting noodle I have had. Must try!!! well worth the experience.

The noodles are always very fresh and tasty. The Dan Dan noodle is definitely a must try item if you are a fan of peanut. The quality of their green onion pancake is inconsistent, so I wouldn’t recommend this. The first time I ordered the pancake, it was great, but the second time was way too oily and burnt. Very disappointed. The biggest problem is finding a seat in this always-packed foodcourt!

Heard about this place through a coworker — that they make the best hand pulled noodles in town. Decided to try this place while waiting for one of the stores in the mall to fix my iPad. My fiancé got the spicy noodles and the lady working the counter suggested I get hot and sour soup with noodles. My fiancé really enjoyed his noodles and the broth. He said it was like ramen, but the noodles tasted much fresher than those you get at your usual ramen restaurants. It came with a tea egg and BBQ pork. He was really full before he finished his meal. I wasn’t a huge fan of the hot and sour soup noodles. The texture of the soup didn’t go well with the texture of the noodles. It was almost too slimy for my liking. The flavours were there. It tasted like a typical hot and sour soup. It probably would have been better without the noodles. Our meals came with soy milk. There was chunks in the bottom, which was a huge turn off.

Not so sure what the hype and rave reviews were all about. Let the man bang bang on the table for the hand pulled noodle. It’s all for putting up a good show for the ‘tourists’ #bangbangnoodle The Dan Dan noodle was oily. Can’t taste the peanut! Don’t forget to add $ 2.50 for the chicken /beef /ribs coz the Dan Dan noodle has no mean… Just noodle, peanut sauce and chilly oil for $ 6.50 +tax :( The beef pancake was. meh. unassuming to say the least. I’ve had better for the price. The ingredients were low grade but you get what you pay for. And don’t forget to walk over the ‘lucky’ bridge while you are there.

Best noodles in Toronto! I go to the Pacific Mall specifically for a bowl of these fresh, hand-pulled noodles. I always go for the Dan Dan Noodle Soup — creamy, nutty, spicy and totally slurp-worthy! Every order comes with a cup a sweetened soy milk, which pairs perfectly — a fresh way to cool things off! This is in a food court, so be sure to stalk a seat while you wait for your order number to be called! WORTHIT!

Fast? Delicious + Cheap? Sounds like a place for me! Located inside pmall on the 2nd floor. They have been here for decades! As a child, I would come here to share a bowl of hand pulled noodles with my mama. Good old times. :’) All their noodles are yummy. But every time I come I order their Dan Dan noodles. It doesn’t come with meat, but if you want meat just pay extra to add it. Their dan dan noodles are to die for.omgg. It was the last meal I had to have before pulling out my wisdom teeth. It was that good! Who said food court food sucks? Not here it don’t! Love this place, love their food & love their prices.

I have been wanting to try this place for YEARS… and I mean YEARS since I was a child. Not sure if this is the same place I remember when I was younger, but I simply remember there was always a man making noodles or dumplings. We ordered their noodles, pork katsu with rice, fried onion pancake and pan fried dumplings. They include a cup of soy milk for each of the dishes so we ended up with 3 cups. Which is way better then drinking water, duh. Food can be pretty heavy depending on what you order, but definitely worth the money and the amount of food you get. We were stuffed after. Also, took leftovers home too! Price is really fair and food is really good. Definitely my new place to go when I come to this mall now. The workers are all very nice and were accommodating when I asked for something.

I would never thought the day would come when I would ever, EVER, give 5 stars to food court food. This little noodle place at the food court upstairs at PMall proved me wrong. Just looking at all these newspaper clippings they have taped up to the walls(along with some awards) just proves how good this place is. They also make their noodles fresh by hand, often when you line up to order/pick up your noodles you can see one of the chefs working hard pulling out the noodle dough and slamming it to the counter countless times before cutting it. Although I had their cold sesame noodles a few years back(it was delicious), the Dan Dan noodles were AMAZING. And it only costed somewhere around $ 5 too, what a deal! The homemade noodles were yummy, the broth was warm and had a nice spicy kick to it(but not overwhelmingly spicy). It’s pretty filling for a meal and with the low price, it was definitely worth my money too! Overall it’s a great food court noodle place. It’s worth the trip to PMall for these delicious noodles! The only drawback I would say is the line-ups and waiting time(it can get pretty hectic during peak time, so at least 10 – 15 min wait), as well as the crowded seating area at the food court. I’m already craving for my next warm bowl of Dan Dan noodles!

I would have given this lovely noodle restaurant a four star, except… just as I was about to pick up my order from the counter, I see a white, fly/mini-roach hybrid thing land on the counter next to my food tray — the cashier simply swatted it with her bare hands and pretended nothing happened. To be fair, she doesn’t really prepare food, but simply arranges the tray, but this still caused my friend and I to do a double take and question whether something would fly out of our food at any moment. Not fun. That said, this is located on the second floor of p-mall, in the heritage village section. You can always tell where it is by the sound of the noodle chef banging flour dough on the counter — interesting process to watch if you’ve never experienced before. Noodles are handmade and you can definitely taste the difference(perfect chewiness)! I highly recommend the Dan Dan noodle, with just the right amount of spicy kick, but pay the extra $ 1.5 to add meat(as the regular version has very little ground pork).

Pretty long wait for a bowl of noodles considering this is a food court place. Very simple bowl of noodles in a light broth with a few pieces of bbq pork. The noodles were a little soft, would have preferred it more if it was cooked a little less. Besides the appeal of handmade noodles and a demonstration of how the noodles are made while waiting for the order, there was nothing else that made it special. The price for the meal is good compared to the other places around. Overall, would not go through the crazy Pacific Mall parking just to have the noodles again.

One thing I love about pac mall is the Chinese knock offs and the food. There is a lot of variety. This time we had noddle soup at sun’s kitchen. The fresh noodles with spicy miso and bbq pork was great. The noodles were very distinguishable from dried noodles. From the texture to taste. The broth wasn’t too rich. Also had the green onion pancake. That wasn’t that good. Too greasy and you hardly taste the green onion. Fairly disappointing.

The dan dan noodles here are incredible. The noodles are hand pulled, and they always have someone smacking the noodles on the countertop in the front of the place. It’s sort of an obnoxious gimmick, but I guess it does attract attention while making it obvious their noodles are freshly made. Their noodles are perfect. They have just the right amount of softness and thickness, and they do an excellent job at absorbing the flavor of the broth. The broth is delicious too. It is flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. The components of the broth do separate overtime, so you definitely need to stir it before getting a spoonful. If you don’t do this, I imagine you could get some really unbalanced and possibly strange tasting spoonfuls of broth. Anyway, I haven’t tried anything else at this place, and honestly, I don’t plan to. I am content to order the dan dan noodles every time I come here because it is seriously that good(and I’m not really in the area much anyway). I’m already looking forward to my next visit here!

It’s all about the hand-pulled noodles! I’m not sure about all the soups and sauces as I’ve only tried a few. I had the spicy garlic with shredded chicken. It was spicy alright, just the way I like it. All dry noodles seem to come with a soup and soybean milk. I also tried another sauce with julienned cucumbers. I didn’t love it, it was just okay. For $ 6 and change, the meals are well priced. In the past, I’ve tried the braised beef noodle soup. Not as flavourful as I would like it. Either way, the chewy texture of the noodles is what I’m looking for, and this place is a good choice if you’re in P Mall. 3.5 stars but I’m rounding up!

You’re paying a very good price for both a meal and a show. The hand pulled noodles are made in house and right in front of your eyes which is pretty wicked. Moreover, the food is so warm and delicious. I get the beef with noodles. I love the uneven thickness of the noodles and the meat is tender while the broth is hot and salty. The food is so good you almost don’t need any additional sauces — ALMOST. I just wish they had a bottle of oyster sauce lying around somewhere so I could give them five stars.
