Magic Noodle Downtown - Scarborough

Date visited : Wednesday April 20, 2022 Overall Rating for experience : 3.5/5 Comments : First time dining at the Woodside location. Friendly staff. Service : 4/5 Good fast service, we came around 8pm on Wed for our order. Place was relatively clean. Food : 3.5/5 During this visit we order the Triple B noodle soup with Classic style noodles and the Magic Chicken noodle soup with Ribbon style noodles. Along with skewered Tofu Manch and Sizzling tentacles. I would like to make those aware, the product images are more accurate to presentation on their website vs the dine-in menu. Dine in menu product shots don't look close to what you are presented with. With an exception to the Signature Soup noodles perhaps. The product shots on the website match the dine-in menu. I ordered the Magic Chicken for myself and the breaded chicken thigh came on the side not as presented on the product shot. Along with the Tofu being drenched in hoisin sauce, the hoisin sauce was overpowering. Would have preferred the hoisin on the side as a dip. As for the Sizzling tentacles, for near $3.00 CAD, sorry this isn't worth the money you only get 1 piece on the skewer, my wife and I enjoy squid, and this was a disappointment for us. I enjoyed the Magic Chicken broth with the Ribbon type noodles, very filling. Wish there was more protein, but I digress, I think the noodles are meant to the the star of the show at this resto and the rest are supporting cast. Wifey enjoyed the Triple Beef w/Classic noodles. However, for both of us tho, we were unable to finish the broth of our soups. After we consumed the noodles and the other ingredients in our respective bowls, the remaining broth was too salty for our tastes. NOTE : for those that are managing GOUT. There are not as many Gout friendly options to choose from on the menu. Lots of beef, some pork, lamb and there is also Innards. Also be careful with the Savory Wonton noodle soup, the wontons have pork. Not as many Chi

Dine in ? Ordered the Gi Ju Noodle aka Pig Intestine noodles. The pig intestine cuts were thin and they didn?t give as much as their Scarborough/McNicoll location. The last time I had it at the McNicoll location, they gave big fatty cuts of the pig intestine, and a lot too! Their lunch special deal looked good on the menu but the portion size was smaller than if you had simply ordered the original dish off the menu; it wasn?t filling for me. The lunch special consisted of a noodle dish and 2 salad options. Their salads wasn?t anything special either tbh? I wouldn?t get the lunch special again. Also ordered a side of the ?Magic Scroll? which was a beef wrap, it barely had any beef? Had more lettuce than anything. Wouldn?t recommend that either.

Heard of this restaurant for years, but finally got a chance to try. Unfortunately, quite a disappointment. Good things first: easy to order online. I can order online directly from the restaurant without using any food delivery app (which might add fees to the order . It 's a big plus. I just wish they had some sort of notification to let me know the order is ready. Only saying It will be ready in about 20 minutes is too vague. I went to pick up my order around the 15 mins mark, but the order was already sitting there, and for some reason it was stone cold when we 're home. (For reference, the drive home was less than 5 mins, and we started eating as soon as we got home. Bad things: The food was tasteless and bland. This was the first time so I ordered all the essential sticky items for a test. ??? and ??? were very very dry. ??????? was completely cold and hard, like just coming out of a fridge. I didn 't expect it to be boiling hot of course, coz it 's dry noodles, but shouldn 't it at least be at room temperature? ???? had no taste at all. I mean, my mom always laughs at me because I love my food to be super light in taste. But even to me, the soup and the lamb organs in ???? have no taste. JUST ZERO TASTE. I don 't know what went wrong there. ????? was ok. ???? was THE BEST item among all. The bun was fresh with just about the right amount of crunchiness. The filling had enough taste to match with the bun. My mom and I were fighting for it, lol, because we both didn 't want to touch other items. Anyways, there 's way too many restaurants in Scarborough and Markham that offer the same Northern Chinese cuisine, also with lower price. I 'm pretty sure we won 't be ordering from Magic Noodle again.

????food came within 5 mins piping hot. I've had la mian many times and for sure they did a great job balancing the taste, quality of meat and noodle Definitely come back again : I got the chicken heart skewer and the meat wasn't rubbery which is a first ?? . Tofu was nicely crispy on the outside and soft inside. Perfect amount of sauce not too much not too little. The noodle wasn't crazy dry. And had a nice peanut taste that wasn't overpowering. Lastly, all employees were welcoming and nice. I think the other reviews here were pretty harsh. I personally enjoyed the food here ????

Honesty, I get it if you have to cut back on quantity to save on cost, but a plate half full is just not acceptable to me. The amount of vegetable on this plate seems like it's leftover from other table.
