Here’s the deal:
- great price range $7.99-8.99 per noodle bowl
- clearly loved by the locals (who are not on Zomato to write reviews)
- hand pulled noodles, fresh, as you can tell by the texture and the “chew” to them
- fast service
- it was not overly spicy (as my personal preference) but it does have a bit of heat. spice level: 2 sniffles out of 5.
What we ate: soft tofu in chili sauce with green onions, hand pulled spinach noods with beef.
Tip: Debit/Cash payments only.
3.5*
The Good:
- unique Sichuan cuisine that stands out amongst the other Chinese restaurants in 'ssauga
- seemingly authentic as per the Mandarin speaking clientele
- noodles were actually handmade. The noodles in D2 reminded me of pappardelle, thicker than fettuccine
- server was friendly
- place is family-run
- restaurant was clean and homey
- food was SOLID
The only other restaurant with a similar menu, that I can think of in the city, is Bashu Sichuan. Bashu is a HUGE restaurant though, so it attracts larger crowds, bigger parties. So their menu is much larger like their space. And Bashu is also more conveniently located, just a city block north of City Centre.
The only downfall I can think of for Szechuan Noodle Bowl is their LOCATION. It isn't at Mississauga Chinatown, which would be *slightly* better due to Blue Lagoon being there, but it's about 2 blocks West of there.
The plaza that it's in is next door to Scott Funeral Home and there is an Indian sweets place, Indian grocery store, a computer store, and maybe 1 other smaller business. So I'd say this is probably their only not-so-positive about it. This doesn't completely stop people from eating there, but I'm thinking that it would be much busier if it was at Golden Square, for example.
Would stop by again if I felt like a quick Sichuan bite, but I don't think I'd drive out of the way.
A nice little local restaurant serving some delicious Szechuan style dishes. Flavour is excellent but a little too salty for my liking. Lots of options but not overwhelming. Prices are reasonable for the portions. I would definitely come back but ask them to go lighter on the salt.
