Mogouyan Hand-Pulled Noodles 磨沟沿老字号兰州牛肉面

Really delicious and great vibes in the room, an item was forgotten but it came straight away once it was pointed out.

The big bowl is big enough for two people and tastes pretty good. It's just so expensive. I forgot to change the money in the end.

Took a friend from out of town here for traditional hand-pulled noodles, and everything was perfect. Service was fast and friendly, the food arrived at our table piping hot, and everything was delicious. We got the beef skewers, edamame, Dan Dan Noodles (mild), and stir-fried noodles with chicken. My only gripe is the edamame had way too much salt on it, but it’s nbd.

This was my second time here, I will be coming back! Especially now that I know there’s a way to get Dan Dan Noodles mild spicy! Thank you to the kind stranger on the table next to us for that tip.

Excelllent foood and loveddd the skewers specially. Overall a nice place that I would surely visit again.

This is an absolute must every time I'm in the area! These noodles are incredible, they give ridiculously large portions and everything is very flavourful.

We loved this place. This is our first time experiencing a pulled noodle restaurant. The meat melted in your mouth. The noodles were amazing. I deliberately got the thick flat noodles, wanting to check and see if they were handmade and you could definitely see that they were. So fun. Just wish that they had someone in the front window making the homemade noodles. That would have been a wonderful draw.

Noodles are made at the moment really fresh, very tasty and big portion for a very nice price, and they close late night that is so good

I'm not a big fan of the taste.
• Braised Beef Noodle: Bland and bland. I can't even remember how it tastes like.

• Flat Noodles with Minced Beef: I feel like I'm gonna have heart attack after eating this. The noodles soaked in tons of oil. I had to throw it away after eating half of it.

Overall I'm not gonna go back; noodles are bad and bland, and loaded with oil and meat grease. Don't recommend.

I really liked this place!
Ordered the braised beef soup with regular noodles and level 2/3 spice. The noodles had the perfect chew and the soup broth was very comfortable and flavourful. Perfect for a chilly day.
What really impressed me was the beef! It was so tender and flavourful, it pretty much melts in your mouth.
The cilantro in the soup stays vibrant and fresh and provided the perfect bright to the rich, warm soup broth.
Lastly, the portions were huge! Ordered a large and was not expecting literally the biggest bowl I have ever seen to come my way.
My only complaint was that it was not as spicy as I expected it for two out of three on the spice level… next time I’ll just have to try 3/3

Highly recommend!

Good not great, there is better but there is also worse.their noodles are obvi super delicious, fresh and chewy.the vibes are very cleaned up and industrial chic.i wouldn’t go too out of your way but if it’s the area, go for it.

I was lied to… by the reviews.

Honestly the taste wasn’t there.
- Skewers were over salted, ALOT smaller portion then the pictures
- Chicken Stirfry, it was a mess. Chicken was frozen cooked that tasted and felt like tofu. The sauce was over drenched.
- Chicken Cutlet, only 2.5/5 thing there. Chicken was okay but was very dry and too much bread.
- The beef soup was okay, but wasn’t anything special.

Overall, I don’t know if I just got a bad night for them but I would not recommend me this unless unless you have low standard for Asian cousin. Just go to the Korean BBQ beside it instead.

A good place to have hand pulled noodles and soup.

Must try their beef braised noodle.

The vegetarian options are delicious! The tomato soup was salty and nostalgic, while the tomato sir fry was garlicky and rich.

Update from second visit (still vegetarian) : The Lanzhou noodles were flavourful, and absolutely amazing. Would absolutely order again. The spring roll sauce was some sort of sesame-wasabi mix, which was surprising but very good.

Came in late at night around 11 on a whim after we were running out of food option that weren’t burgers and pub bites. This place was a great surprise. Noodles came in different textures and both my friend and I were happy with the bowls of soups. For 2 big bowls of soup, 3 desserts, 3 sides we paid about 40 each and had leftovers for the next day. Highly recommend.

Love that they’re open late, giving people an option besides junk food for late night bites long past other restaurants closing and last calls.

Small little noodle restaurant. Definitely a place to check out when in the area. Flavors are very authentic and portions are surprisingly generous. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely will visit this restaurant again when in the downtown area.

Probably the best hand pulled noodle restaurant in the city. I got the stir fried noodles with shrimp and it was so good! You can tell everything used was fresh, especially the noodles! The great food was also followed by the fast and friendly service. I will surely be back to try the rest of the menu:)

Perfect llittle lunch time restaurant, ordered their seaweed salad, authentic and cooked properly, vegetable dumplings tasted great and outisde crisp just right not overcooked, fresh noodles made right there properly make home cooked pasta seem lacking, wish my noodles were always this fresh, the tomato noodles and a proper mix of vegetables were suprisingly good,

The staff here have a handle on providing the proper dining experience all around, it is no wonder the place is packed first thing on a saturday,

And the prices are more than fair, serving sizes of noodles are generous

Congratulations to the chef (s)

9.6/10
One of the best noodle dishes in the city for sure! Please visit the restaurant as well as it will enhance your experience.

Ordered through Doordash before once and enjoyed the beef noodles. This time tried the Braised Beef Noodles and it was delicious! Reheated the broth but that was due to my dasher not putting in a heating bag. 9.2/10

Reply to owner: Hello! I just visited the restaurant and the noodles were absolutely delectable! It's a different experience eating them fresh! The waitress with glasses was very polite and accommodating. My impression has become even better now! 9.6/10
Theirs no such thing as a perfect dish, but this is close.

Authentic Chinese fresh Noodles. Had such a large portion in beef soup took home for a second unsuccessful shot at finishing. Because the isle is so small you always have an opportunity to ask for something and regardless the service was great.

Tasty noodles with rich broth.
Portions were big, meat was generous and worth the price.

Yum! Tender beef and delicious broth! I went with thick noodles and mild spice since I didn’t know how medium would’ve been (they provide chilli oil so you can always add it in yourself if you want more heat). My personal preference is usually thicker noodles but in this case, I think a slightly thinner noodle would’ve been better.

Cosy, small, busy spot! Lots of locals and, definitely hits the spot for anyone missing a little taste of home. Friendly and very efficient staff.

To be a little more realistic, I will say, if you’re coming from out of of town but still in the GTA, I don’t think it’s necessary to travel downtown just for some hand pulled noodles. It was delicious but you can find any hand pulled noodle shop near you and I’m sure it’d be great too (I.e. Richmond Hill or Markham).

GREAT noodles, fresh and with a tasty sauce. Very nice staff…comfy little hole-in-the-wall type place.

The restaurant specialized in handmade noodles, and I must say that they were truly exceptional. The service at the restaurant was also good.

Huge portions and great noodles. I typically don't like skewers but the lamb skewer was probably the best I've ever had.

Service was great and food portions were large and worth the price. The atmosphere was good and the shop was clean and modern. I would recommend it for people in the area.
