Long's Noodle House - Vancouver

Long's Noodle House is a popular Shanghainese restaurant in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood known for its traditional home-style dishes. The restaurant always has a line, but it moves quickly. Some of their signature dishes include drunk chicken, xiao long bao (XLB), beef wrap, and noodles. The drunk chicken was served warm in a clay cup and was moist and flavorful. The XLB was made to order and served in a bamboo basket with plenty of soup and delicate skin. The beef wrap was rolled with juicy meat and cilantro, crispy, and perfectly salted. Long's Noodle House is a charming, family-run restaurant where you can enjoy traditional comfort food at a reasonable price. Located at 4853 Main St, Vancouver, BC.

This is a Chinese shop located on Main Street, near 33rd Avenue. The shop is cash only, the staff actually alerts the customers of the fact by shouting 'Cash only ' the moment you walk in through the door. The interior itself is quite small and minimal, with maybe half a dozen table, about half of them large group tables. Being a single diner, I got to share one of the large tables with another pair of diners. The menu is quite large, consisting of appetizers, dim sum, noodles and various meat and vegetable dishes. Glancing at the tables around me, I saw that everyone appears to be ordering Tan Tan noodles, Wine Chicken, Beef Rolls, and Xiao Long Bao. I decided to get their Tan Tan with Meat Sauces Noodles and Beef Rolls. The food wasn 't exception, though still fairly good, and the prices were reasonable. The service was pretty minimal, although the food arrives very fast and the staff were fairly friendly. This is a fairly solid Chinese restaurant; just be sure to have cash on hand.<br/ <br/ Tan Tan with Meat Sauces Noodles $9.50):<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The noodles had a nice bouncy texture. The sauce was flavorful, being mildly spicey and having a slight peanut fragrance. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn 't much ground meat present however.<br/ <br/ Beef Rolls $7.95):<br/ 3.5/5<br/ The wrapping outside looked a bit anemic, and was a tad too tough and chewy, although still tasty. The filling itself was actually quite a bit like peking duck, except with beef: there was a sweet flavour of hoisin sauce and cilantro/scallions. I could have done with a little more beef, however.<br/ <br/ Summary:<br/ Food: 3.5/5<br/ Price: 4/5<br/ Service: 3/5<br/ Overall: 3.5/5<br/ Recommendations: Beef Rolls

Video review on my youtube channel: vancity food crew long's noodle house<br/ .<br/ This place is a lesser known cash only place that serves up Shanghainese food. I have a friend who frequents this place so she knows what is the best. We got the beef noodle soup, xiao long bao, beef roll, and the pork rice cake. The beef roll and the giant awesome intact xiao long bao were the real winners. The buns were huge and full of that soupy goodness. The beef noodle soup didn't have a lot of beef in it but tasted fine. The pork rice cake had lesser quality pork but you get a lot of it. You definitely need to come with a few people so you can try out more dishes. Its a solid place to get asian food for sure.

We decided to take a long walk to this restaurant. The place is quite small and only accepts cash. The pork dumplings were hot, flavorful, and juicy! The wine chicken was tender and tasty. We also ordered some noodles which were quite good.

XLB was 7.5/10. Thin pastry, seasoned meat and a pouch full of tasty broth. Drunken chicken was not bad, but not pretty good, its more on subtle flavours side. Their egg yolk rice is RIP OFF, $17 for greasy rice. Its definietly a side dish that needs a soup or gravy meat to go on top. Dan dan noodles, the noodles had great textureband chewiness<br/ <br/ People who whine about bad service, well the place is a dump so shut up.
