First off, it's a drag to find a solid (inexpensive) late night place to eat after partying, clubbing, drinking, etc. The good places are either in Richmond, or are scattered all over the place.
Wang's is one of these places located in Marpole by the bridge. They're open until like 3 or 4 in the morning, so it's a nice option if you have a car and aren't completely wasted.
The food is just solid. Nothing really too surprising on either ends of the spectrum. The menu is quite large for the type of restaurant. They have items other than their namesake Beef Noodles. The prices are a little on the high side, but I guess they need to cover for the utilities for staying open late.
Great place for a late night meal. Ordered the beef in onion pancake, very good, beef brisket noodle which was very good. Noodles had some texture to it and there was lots of tasty beef. Ordered the Shanghai steamed buns and it was not very good. Thick skin and not much soup inside. Service was quick and efficient and the place was well decorated. Would return as total bill was under $20.
The food here was delicious. However, the price for a simple beef noodle bowl wasn't that great. The time I went, was during the summer and they had lots of flies flying around inside. The serving wasn't that large, but enough to fill you up. Overall, an alright place to go if you are in the area.
I went to this place upon a recommendation from a friend of a friend who is Tawainese, I was pleasantly surprised!
The restaurant itself is clean, bright and modern. It was bustling busy from the time we got there at 7 and left at 11.
The servers were busy, and we had to flag them down to order, and settle the bill - but that's typical in many Asian establishments.
The prices were generally pretty decent $8 and under range for noodle soups. And $4+ dollars for their bubble tea drinks.
My fresh fruit strawberry bubble tea was fresh and tasty, served in a large beer mug. The deep fried tofu was tasty and came drizzled with garlic/soy sauce. The special beef noodle in spicy soup with dumplings $8.50 was HUGE - the broth was flavorful, but could have used more spice. There was a decent amount of veggies, green onions and pickled cabbage in there too. My friend and I had to take 2/3 or our noodles home, because we we so full. The noodles were linguine sized in width and had great texture.
They also have an extensive take-out menu.
Recommended!
In short, I enjoy their beef noodles. Whenever I want to eat beef noodles, this is where I come. Honestly though, I haven't tried anything in this restaurant other than their basic beef with thick noodles. It tastes good (I don't have super high standards) and the small size for $6-7 is definitely enough for the average person so I'd say the value is great. Especially comparing to Hong Shifu's in Aberdeen. That place is good, but $11-12 for a bowl of noodles is not really my thing...
Service and ambiance just average, but I don't really care about that in a place like this anyway. It's a very casual place and I'm just here for the noodles.
I've never been to any Asian country, but I would bet my left nut that all these different Asian "fast food" places probably give the majority of the Chinese/Japanese/other Asian ethnicity that live here, a little taste of home. There is no shortage of quick and cheap noodle places around the city that satisfy your hunger 1000x better than a Burger King or McDonalds would around this great city. Wangs Beef Noodle seems to be on that list. I was working on SW Marine and I took a quick break to get something to eat. I have driven past this place hundreds of times, this time though, I decided to stop in. First good sign; I was the only white person in the establishment. The next was the smell of broth and meat. The menu had noodles and much more. The beef brisket noodles were delicious, and the broth, at least from what I could tell, was made from scratch. Simple things like this are often the best. Next time you are on your way down Granville to catch a flight, leave 30 minutes earlier next time and stop off for a nice bowl of noodles before you depart.
Food: Handmade wontons were ok, excellent spicy cucumber and really good deep-fried tofu. Everyone else at our table enjoyed their respective dishes too. Bill came to $46 for 3 appies and 7 noodle/soup dishes so they were at a good value. Portions were quite big as well, so much so that some couldn't finish their small-sized dishes. It was packed at 2 in the morning!!
Service: Waitress forgot to come back to take our orders since me and my bf needed a little more time to decide since we came later than our other fellow diners. Typical service from a cheap chinese restaurant so much wasn't expected to begin with. Cash only so beware!
Ambiance: I hadn't been there in years and it's actually improved quite some. Much cleaner and brighter than before. Again, it's what's expected from a cheap chinese restaurant.
Overall: Will be back when I need some cheap eats late at night. Def. worth the value.
Came here for the first time since it changed names so its definitely been awhile. Ordered the no. 2 the spicy beef brisket with thick noodles. I was pleased with the tasty beef brisket and the noodles were nice, not too chewy but not too soft. Even though I chose the spicy one, i thought it was a bit too spicy-- but still very and flavorful tho not like some places where the soup is very oily. Ambiance was nothing special but it was clean. Overall, I will definitely be coming back!!
I came here with my bf last week for a late night snack. We ordered seaweed and pork intestine for apps. The seaweed was a little too sour for me. My bf thinks that the intestines were a bit bland considering that it was supposed to be braised and not only marinated. Then we ordered "xiao long bao" the steamed pork buns and we both find them not that great, the skin was too thick and a little hard. We also ordered a large beef noodle and we find it pretty good, I personally liked the beef shank meat, compared to briskets cuz it's not as oily. The noodle itself is also not bad, it's a little chewy. In the future, I think i'll come back again to eat other apps and the beef noodle esp cuz they open till late.
If you're into dumplings, you'll love Taiwan Beef Noodle House. Really cheap prices for really good food. Best part is, they're open 24 hours so you can dine any time of day!
I love their spicy wontons, and love their mini steam pork buns even more. The noodle are great as well. Horray for cheap eats!!
I really love this place, and so does the rest of my family! I come here to have a bowl of beef noodles after my late night study sessions. They serve a lot of good "comfort food."
The food there is tasty, quite authentic, and very flavourful :)
As with many Asian restaurants, do not be deceived by the restaurant's bland decor... after all, it's the food that really counts, right?
The food here is really good. I'm not sure what it's called or what number it is on the menu but these beef sliced sandwich type things are the most unbelievable things I've ever eaten. Add that with any soup and it's really good and cheap. The service is terrible. Especially if you're a white person. You have to get specific english speaking waiters if you want your order to be right. Definitely recommend this place overall though.
This is no longer a 24 hour noodle place.
I had a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. It was $7.25 AND it only a small. The large bowl was $8.25. My friend only had a large beef noodle soup, there was the same amount of beef and noodle in his bowl, but just in a larger bowl. The fish cake there is tasteless and the big beef roll is smothered with hoisin sauce, which made it extremely salty.
It is waitered by a bunch of young people, who doesn't have much of a personality and don't speak a lot of English.
This place is overpriced for the horrible food they service.
So I went here looking for a different beef noodle experience and I got one. The service was absolutely shi*. And they were rude.
The soup was good, but I was immediately taken aback by the saltiness of the broth and the fattyness of the meat. Somehow though I made it through the whole thing and actually enjoyed it. Its no Pho in that it doesn't feel as clean and nourishing, but it tastes good.
I also go the pork dumplings (10 for 5$) and enjoyed them.
I enjoyed this meal alot and recommend it to anyone. Will I go back in the near future, maybe not. Possibly sometime.
I used to work nights and ended up here alot.. and this place has the worst service ever!! And it's consistantly bad! They don't take your order unless you call someone over... and no one is ever looking.. wrong orders every time (small bowls when larges are ordered, wrong type of noodles...), never refill tea, rude waitresses/waiters, when we asked for one spoon, they brought out three and just tossed them in the bowl... waited 15 minutes for a canned drink.. etc.
I've even brought people here just to demonstate how bad the service is..
Honestly, the food is pretty good, especially at 2am when there's nothing else open, which in turn kept me coming back... but never again. This is the only place that I've been to that I didn't leave a tip.
Why do I keep going back to a place that tries my nerve every time. On my latest trip, I waited 20 minutes to get simple bowl of noodles (this is the restaurant's bread and butter as it were)! Three other tables who all came well after I did, got their food (also bowls of noodles!), got their food before I did. I went up to the manager to inquire and yet I don't think he understood what I asked.
As much as the service pains me, the noodles, oh the noodles! It brings me back every time. Each time I enter that restaurant, I put my head down in quiet shame. How could I return to a restaurant who's wait staff have treated me so badly. It's wrong to patronize a place that thinks its customers are dispensable. But yet the noodles, the noodles, treat me so well! Specifically I'm talking about a large bowl of A2 with the fat noodles. Spicy broth, pickled cabbage, salted beef, and handmade noodles that's soft on the outside and al dente on the inside. When I'm hungering for comfort food on a cold rainy night in Vancouver, there's nothing that comforts like Taiwan Beef Noodle. Waitresses be damned! Feed me the noodles!
I am reviewing what I remember from a while ago. I haven't been here for over a year and there's a reason. There are way better places in Vancouver East & Burnaby for noodle soup, potstickers & other Taiwanese goodies. It's only cuz they're open late that people go. The service has never been bad though; just ok.
Went to eat here with a friend and we ordered item number 1, the thick noodles and beef brisket. Beef brisket was really tasty, the noodles were standard to most bbt places. I dind't like the soup at all. Maybe it was just that batch, but it had a licorice undertaste. We ordered small, and it was the right amount. Didn't leave hungry or too full. On the downside, we had to ask for tea refills. If you go there for lunch, go at around 11:30 so you can beat the 1 pm rush. When we got there only a few tables were filled..at the end of it, everything was packed. I probably will not go here again.
I just went there tonight for the first time. I was concerned about the service based on the other reviews so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was fine. It took a while to get the waiter's attention for the check but it was busy.
The beef noodle soup was outstanding, second only to my mother-in-law's. I will definitely go back.
What else... it's on the east side of the street. It's not expensive. Cash only. Good food.
Great Beef Noodles and Snacks! But every single time I had to waited for soooooooooooo long for my foods to come. Servers were usually busy and can't help much as they aren't working in the kitchen, couldn't rush the orders out.....
I'm still going back sometimes as I love their foods, but have to go only when I'm not in a rush and not extreamly hungry!!
