Jim Chai Kee Noodle
Located in a strip mall on West Beaver Creek Road, Jim Chai Kee Noodle is best-loved for its noodles, soups and shrimp wontons. The menu isn’t extensive but also doesn’t need to be: whatever you choose to order, you can’t really go wrong.

Little Saigon
For a bowl of pho that won’t disappoint, head to Little Saigon on Yonge, where the broth is perfectly balanced and full of beef flavour. Their vermicelli bowls are equally worth the trip, topped with shredded carrots, roast pork, herbs and plenty of crunchy peanuts.
