Referred by a friend and really enjoyed the soup. Had a spicy fish broth with beef brisket and enoki mushrooms and loved it. Will definitively go back
Deer Garden Signatures has two locations in Toronto: one in Richmond Hill and Scarborough. A couple of the co-op/PEY students from the University of Toronto recommended this place as well as a colleague. I decided that it was probably a place to try out since it's close by to my workplace. The location of this restaurant was at the southwest corner of Time Square plaza.

My dad had been talking about this noodle spot for weeks that I finally had to try it with him. I really enjoyed the customization as you choose your soup base, noodle type and then toppings. The bowl was huge and for the price it was a really good value. The place is packed at lunch so be sure to get there before noon or plan for a later lunch.
We were extremely excited to find out that Deer Garden had locations in the GTA! This was about 2 weeks after we came back from Vancouver, we decided to go try the location in Richmond Hill. I tried the tomato and pumpkin fish soup again, as the girls like it. Mike tried the Szechuan Spicy soup. We both got beef and beef brisket toppings with rice noodle. I'm not the biggest fan of fish soup, but it's healthy, right? Mike's spicy soup was pretty good.
One of my favourite go-to places for noodle-y comfort. Prices are affordable, service is quick, and the place is always full of customers. Don't expect to taste anything mind-blowing, because after all, they simply serve noodles with toppings you could find at any Chinese supermarket. But I return time and again because it offers me the comfort of a home-cooked bowl of yum.
After my visit to Chef Papa, a few people asked how the restaurant compared to Deer Garden, a more established and popular customize-your-own-noodle-bar with multiple locations. I couldn’t answer because I hadn’t been yet. This obviously had to be rectified, so The Hubby and I stopped by the Richmond Hill location for dinner one cold weekday night.
If you're looking for noodles in the area and you want some weird combo of ingredients, Deer Garden would be the place to go. You get to customize whatever you want in it, including which broth you want. The portion is pretty good for what you're paying for. The noodles also come with a drink, but it only covers the basic hot teas/coffees. Their other drinks are so good but you'd have to pay extra for them. They also offer little snacks to have on the side (like chicken wings! So good).

I've been to this location quite a few times. I feel like it used to taste better back then when it was still newer. At my recent visit, I found that they have raised the prices of the noodles and the sides, which makes it a lot pricier for noodles. I feel like the black pepper soup base used to have a stronger taste.
Aside from that, I gotta say that I did really like the noodles here. I could be a bit biased since I love eating noodles in soup. They have quite a few soup base to choose from. I prefer the fish broth based ones. Their noodles are done well and isn't soggy. You have a choice of 2 toppings. **I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR BEEF TENDON BALLS** (if you like beef tendon balls!) It's one of the best beef tendon balls I've ever had. You can also choose to add a side at extra cost and you get a free hot drink (certain ones) and you can choose to add extra to upgrade it to cold. You can also request to get XO sauce on the side, which I highly recommend if you like spicy. The perfect combo is noodles of your choice with the fried fish cutlet side and their cold lemon ribena drink. Absolutely deliciously wonderful. The fish fillet is so perfectly cooked and crispy.
Overall, I think the noodles are decently good. Might be as worth it for the price now since it went up. But if you love noodles in soup, beef tendon balls, fried fish cutlet and cold fizzy black current drink like me, then you must come here and try it.
Great fish broth! You pick the flavour for the soup, choice of noodles, & other toppings. The meal even includes a hot drink. Great place to come during cold winter months...it'll warm you up for sure.
The steamed minced pork-cake on rice is also really good. Reminds me of simple home cooking when I was little. Best part, they offer soup without MSG.
Not sure if they take reservations. Will have to remember to check for next time as the wait can sometimes be long.
Service is rather rushed. They take you're order, quickly bring you food (unless you order the steamed pork cake on rice...that takes about 15-20 mins to make), then offer you your bill. No the place to come if you want to sit & talk for a while.
This isn't the best noodle shop around, but it's kind of fun to pick and choose the type of soup base, noodle, toppings, and drink. If I'm looking for something quick and am in the area, I usually go to Deer Garden. The combos start at $9.95 but you have the option to upgrade your drink and 2 additional sides.
