Noodle Me

Noodle Me is a casual joint for bowls of northern Chinese noodles.

Pulled, cut, and served a number of different ways, this restaurant started with a store in Hamilton before expanding to Toronto with a shop just a few seconds' walk from Jane station.

Seven different styles range from hair-thin to triangle-shaped, flat or wide.

Coupled with sesame sauce, bean sprouts and a fried egg, it's my favourite dish hands-down.
