GB Hand Pulled Noodles Toronto

Made to perfection

""GB Hand Pulled Noodles" Toronto is a small Lanzhou-style restaurant. The noodles here form the base of all the main dishes and are pulled in front of you."

GB Hand Pulled Noodles is a small Lanzhou-style restaurant tucked away behind the Eaton Centre in Toronto.

As its name suggests, the noodles, which forms the base of all the main dishes, are hand-pulled right in front of your eyes as you enter the restaurant. It is a unique and mesmerizing sight to see the noodle-maker stretch, twist then slap the dough on the counter until it is long enough to be cut into noodles.

You can order your noodles in soup (Lanzhou beef noodle soup) or as a “dry” dish (think more like noodles topped with sauce). No matter which way you go, you have the option of seven types of noodles from super thin (like angel hair pasta) to thick (like udon) or flat and narrow (like linguine) to flat and wide (like pappardelle). The noodles come out perfectly cooked – a little al dente with a nice chew.

The noodle soup is the favourite here, however I prefer the “dry” noodles with homemade pork sauce where the ground pork has a deep porky and salty flavor and is almost caramelized. Each table is set with chili oil and black vinegar so you can season your food as you wish.

Note that the room is very small and does get busy. There is often a wait but the turnover is quick. This is a great option for solo diners as they have a counter set up by the front window where you can slurp your noodles while people watching.

About me Bruce Wayne’s specialty was stopping crime in Gotham City as Batman. Clark Kent’s specialty was saving the world as Superman. And my specialty? I like to think it’s saving people from going to bad restaurants. Yes, if I had an alter ego, it would probably be FoodGirl (to be determined if this comes with tights and a cape). While I spend my days sitting in an office, I like to spend as much of my off time as possible devoted to food – whether it’s trying new restaurants, trying new recipes or watching the Food Network. Oh, and since every superhero needs...
