Mom and pop place and filled up quickly on a weeknight at 6

Stopped by for some Chinese noodles during our cruise stop in Victoria and it was okay.

The high Yelp rating and family recommendations are what helped us decide on this place in Chinatown. We went in on a weekday just after lunchtime so it wasn't very busy.

Our server was friendly. They may have been understaffed because he was the only one serving and a lot of the tables had a bunch of used dishes from previous customers on them, like the server never cleaned them up. Food took kind of long to come out. Eventually, they had to close the shop because the cook wasn't feeling well or something? It was unclear but we were able to finish our meals. It seemed like once they closed the shop, our server forgot about us and never came back out. We had to bring the check to the server in the back in order to pay and leave. Pretty odd experience.

I ordered the Dan Dan Rice Noodle soup. The noodles were very slippery and kind of difficult to eat. Broth wasn't very flavorful. It was also pretty spicy so I couldn't finish the dish. I just had higher expectations. 3/5

Overall, food was very mediocre and service wasn't the best. I wouldn't come back.

I've never had Guilin noodles before, and it was definitely a unique flavor to try! The portions are quite large, even sharing this with my partner, we couldn't finish all the noodles. I happened to notice the same with other tables where all the toppings & meat were gone but there was still a pile of noodles left. We also tried the spicy wontons, pork dumplings, and cucumber salad. Everything had different flavors than I expected, but probably cause I typically have only eaten Szechuan or Hunan style Chinese food. The service & ambiance were okay. Nothing stuck out to me, but I'm glad I tried something new and it's fun to see a restaurant with such a unique style of cuisine.

"This was my first time trying Guilin-style noodles, and I loved it! The service was great, and the restaurant had a nice setting too. I'll definitely be back if I visit Victoria again."

This place brought me so much nostalgia because of their offering of guilin rice noodles. I rarely ever find this dish in restaurants, and when I do, I have to get it. When I saw that this spot offered them, I knew I had to come!

We came on a rainy Saturday for lunch, and there wasn't anyone else inside. Between the two of us we shared the classic guilin rice noodle bowl (and upgraded it to the larger size for only $3 more) as well as the hot and spicy wontons. The noodles come served on a tray in a nice set with all the toppings and soup arranged around it. You can choose to add them in or not, but I would definitely recommend adding them. The noodles also had its own seasoning that can be a little salty for some, but mixed with the pork broth its perfect. The portion was super generous, and so comforting! My only nit pick was that the soybeans weren't crunchy and didn't get that same nutty flavor like they do in guilin, but everything else was great. The wontons came in a chili oil soup, and were also super good - the broth was amazing and the wontons themselves had great flavor.

When we walked by another day it seemed to be a lot more busy, which I was really glad to see! This is a great spot for some classic Chinese noodles and I would certainly want to try more of their menu.

Food and service were good. Right near the narrow street in China Town. Found on Yelp and decided to give it a try.

Decided to try a Guilin spot, Momi Noodle, in Chinatown. It's sandwiched between Habit Coffee and Dumpling Drop.

We dropped in on a Sunday (11:45am) for lunch. This place must have been an art gallery because the decor is very eclectic. Go up to the counter to pay when you're done eating.

Menu consists of combo, specialties, noodle in soup and hotpot noodles. Make sure to ask for their homemade chili oil.

- Guilin marinated rice noodle (A1) ($14.95) - huge portion of noodles. Broth was light but well rounded. Couple of the pork pieces had a nice skin crackling, beef was tender. Our favourite of the three bowls.
- Dan dan rice noodle (A4) ($15.95) - broth was very plain. Prefer the traditional dan dan style over this version.
- Sour cabbage pork belly rice noodle (A12) ($18.95) - a mix of noodles to give some contrasting textures. Broth had a touch of sour note, but mild. Okay but nothing special.

Decent fare at MN. 3.5 stars.

Not only was the yelp review good, someone at the visitor center recommended we go here. As a vegan, we thought we would have better options. While the cucumber salad was good, the rest of the options were pretty bland. Most staggering was the service. We had to send a cup back because it was dirty, and did not get an apology, and, no one asked how the food was. They were not busy at all. An overall oddly poor experience.

我们是跟着小红书过来的，以为能大快朵颐，没想到踩了地雷。我们点了一个牛肉？米线，一个牛肉葱油饼。牛肉米线里只有寥寥几块牛肉，剩下的都是白白的牛油。想着说可能只是个例。没想到等牛肉葱油饼上来的时候，简直让我惊呆了，整个一盘的饼，每个揭开都是像相片里的一样，只有白白的牛肉，没有一丁点儿红肉。不知道这家店是怎么在大温地区中餐竞争这么激烈的情况下存活的。或许靠的是虚假点评？
We followed little red book and found this noodle place in Victoria. We thought we were going to have a wonderful dinner. We ordered Beef noodle and Beef fried pancake. The beef noodle was just so-so, There were just several red beef meat in the noodle soup, the majority was just fat white as snow. We thought this might be just a rare case. But our jaw dropped when we saw the beef fried pancake. Shown in photo, there was no red meat at all but just some white fat. We would never return.

Unable to make variations on the menu for kids (ie simple rice and egg for fried rice). Ordered 6 different noodle dishes and ultimately each one tasted the same with minor variation. My son noted that some of the noodles were even crunchy. We question whether dishes were being made fresh. Not an authentic Chinese noodle place.
