    I've had Magic Noodles at both their other locations, (Scarborough & Richmond hill), every time the experience & food just seems to disappoint a little. It seems like their food quality has dropped as time passes. Soup noodles are one of multiple items which are very take out friendly, as you can re heat the noodles and soup separately to avoid over cooking the ingredients to prove the closest dine in experience at home. The temperature of the food was easily manageable to my preference prior to eating, noodles were not tough or chewy. However, the disappoints starts here: -the flavor of the soup was mediocre, not strong in flavor but tasted more diluted for both soup bases -toppings of both bowls looked cheap. signature noodle has an over hard egg, 1 pc of beef tripe. lamb noodle has ONLY 6 small pcs of lamb cubes and 2pcs of lamb fat. As for the pricing, it is not expensive, but considering the quality vs price - not so worth the value.

  • 1/5 So I says to the guy, I says to him, I s. 2 years ago on Google
    Was hoping to eat a beef soup, but all of the "beef" was fat. Purchased at 4AM. I ordered a beef soup, not a tallow or trash from a meat waste bin. I feel very offended that they purposely went the distance to make sure that there IS not a SINGLE PIECE OF MEAT in my soup! I would have to use a scalpel and a microscope to actually extract any meat from this "dish". And I've been to Magic Noodle before, and I remember my soup having MEAT in it. Disgusting place. Never going there again.

    Good spot if you need late night food. Noodles are great, boa was good, but didn't like the lychee drink. Go for the magic beef bowl, its yummy.

    I’ve patronized this outlet and their Richmond Hill outlet, both of which deliver very similar standards. Given today’s inflationary pricing standards, this is one of the few places offering a seizable portion of freshly made noodles with fresh ingredients under $15 at any time of the day since they’re open 24hours. I like their seafood Magic Friar noodles which comes with a generous portion of seafood and fresh in house noodles, along with their peanut sesame noodles which offers a very smooth consistency although it’s more of a cold dish. Over my course of eating here and at their Richmond Hill outlet, it seems like all the noodle dishes on their menu are done well, you pretty much can’t go wrong here. Next, I look forward to trying their Bang Bang or knife cut noodles.

    I dined here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Only one table was occupied; the restaurant was pretty empty. I ordered the smoky duck noodle soup. The noodles were average but the broth and the duck tasted good. The portion was large for the price. The main downsides of this Magic Noodle: the washroom was not well maintained, it was pretty dirty. And there were several flies that kept hovering around my food when I was trying to eat.

    I have been to 3 Magic Noodles in the GTA, Thornhill, North York and Scarborough and North York is by far the worst one. I had had issues with them before but I keep giving them chances because they are so close to where I’m located. However after tonight, I’m go the extra miles to drive to Scarborough or pay the extra delivery on UBER. The first issue I had was lack of food in my order. Second time it was salty as hell. After which I learnt my lesson. Each time I would order from North York I would always pay for extra noodles just because I know they can be “stingy” with portions. This time however it was so bad I felt the need to write this review. I called and made an order at 3:23am, guy told me 20-25 mins. I got to them at 3:46am then guy then told me wait 3 minutes, I said fine. I watch a bunch of people come in, order, leave and return to still be waiting. I waited patiently until 4:10am then approached the cashier and inquired about my order. Of course he forgot it, my food sat on the counter and got cold. I proceeded to open the container to check to see if my food was correct only to find what can be seen in the photos below. I told him this is not extra noodles. Clearly I was wasting my time trying to explain to the young man the gross disrespect and advantage taking happening at that location. Atlas, I saved my breath, took my kiddies meal and left, but I promise you, Magic Noodle North York will never see another red cent of my hard earn money again.

    Friendly staff. Tasty noodles and appetizers. The flavour is not authentic but nonetheless tasty. It's definitely on the sweet side. The noodles are hand made at the store. We will come back

    I cook a lot so I could tell the soup had fresh produce and amazing flavours. Only thing missing was salt, I had to use extra. I took the tomato beef noodles and deep fried scallops. The scallops were a phenomenon💕

    I ordered their pork intestine noodles. It was very delicious, with just the right amount of chili oil. Really enjoyed their broth and the customization options. Very reasonably priced, this chain used to be a go-to when I was back in university and I will continue to visit this chain.

    Delicious and rich broth, chewy noodles, massive portions, and very nice price. Wontons were quite bland, though. Extra noodles were free, too!

  • 4/5 Sean N. 5 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Very street Chinese food. Small eats. Not enough sitting space for large parties. Waiter/waitresses are young and inexperienced, but nice. Go when deals are on is best.

    For the first time going out to a late night bite to eat, this was definitely an amazing experience, and I will definitely be going back. The location was very busy but the service was amazing at organizing and cleaning the tables so other patriots get sit down.

    Magic Noodle stands out as my top pick for savory noodle cravings! Their 24/7 availability, good portions, and wallet-friendly prices make it an ideal spot. Super affordable and delicious! I can split an $11 dollar bowl with a friend and we will both be very satisfied! The menu variety, especially their braised pork belly and lamb soups, never disappoints. What sets them apart is the range of freshly made noodles that cater to diverse preferences! It's my go-to recommendation for anyone yearning for a comforting, budget-friendly lunch without compromising on taste or quality! Honestly, you can never go wrong with a bowl of magic noodles.

    I had their "Pot Belly" noodle soup and their "Pork Gamo". Both were incredibly delicious! The hand pulled noodles and tender meat was a real game changer.

  • 2/5 Nim K. 10 months ago on Google
    This is now the second time I've gone to this location and had a really mediocre time. I've been to different magic noodle locations, and everything seems to be great there but for some reason the yonge location keeps getting worse. The food is extremely salty and the service was sub-par. Since it's the only place open late I've gone there but I really would highly recommend to just get some take out, don't waste your money or your time if you have other options.

  • 4/5 Tina L. 2 years ago on Google
    They opening 24h!! I was surprised with delicious taste of the beef soup - their best sell. With some hot sauce, it makes my stomach so warm in the raining day. Gotta try their soy milk. Dry noodle doesn’t fit my taste really well. Quick and friendly service.

  • 5/5 Jody T. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience with friends here, they loved everything! ps: we came back for another magic beef later cause it was too good😋

  • 3/5 Linh N. 2 years ago on Google
    Got the meat lovers special, intestines, and popcorn chicken. Popcorn chicken was meh. Meat was ok. Broth was very bland and unremarkable but food came out quickly. Overall wouldn't recommend this place over Noodle Me or Big Beef Noodle, both have MUCH tastier broths and is worth your time.

  • 4/5 Shannon 8 months ago on Google
    Not my favorite, but the noodle are chewy, not soggy at a. 👍 Don't go for the chicken wrap.

    For a quick meal my friend and I enjoyed Magic Noodle. The noodles tasted fresh and the duck was tasty as well. However the cold appetizers that came with meal were average.

  • 3/5 Sam D. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a good 24 hour noodle place. The vegetable noodles were a bit plain for my taste. They don't have extra sauces like plum sauce. The noodles were a bit over cooked and only had oil and soya sauce on them. I would recommend getting other items and not the veg noodles. They don't have much parking space either. But overall it was an okay experience.

  • 5/5 Monique A. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is very good. I love the soup noodles, the fried chicken, and the cuttlefish balls. The soup is excellent, hot but not scalding. Noodles is chewy and flavorful. They don't skimp out on the sides in the noodles. They generously give the radish, the meat and the toppings. And it's not even that expensive. If you want a magical experience, just come here. The only thing is be careful of how spicy the skewers are. Like that stuff has a kick.

  • 3/5 Ramel F. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is solid. One of the best bang for buck meals in the city. The service was OK. Visited this location this morning around 2am. The fact that this place is 24hrs is a blessing. We come here quite often however the new guy left a less than satisfying vibe. When I went to pay he was staring down at my pin number as I was punching it in. Huge invasion of privacy.

    Love the idea that I can sit on the window ledge and look out at the street. I got the "Magic Beef" I tried the curtain noodles this time, so delicious. I personally found it hard to pick up the noodles with chopsticks on how thick and heavy they were, but the classic noodles are my go to!

  • 5/5 Avi N. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing, and so was the customer service. Daniel was our friendly waiter that kept us entertained and matched our vibes. My order was the signature magic noodle which tasted amazing down to every element and the amazing part was that it came out within minutes right after ordering. I hope everyone that comes here can enjoy

  • 1/5 Ken C. 10 months ago on Google
    I ordered a wet soup noodle, and did not want the fried egg on top, so I asked if I could have instead of it more vegetables, and the server said absolutely! Minutes elapsed, and they came back saying that it's not possible, and I would have to pay $1.50. I declined that, and that left a sour taste - why take back something that you offered to a customer, and to come back and ask for money is icing on the cake. When my dish came out, it had the egg on top, and I didn't think it was mine, so I said to the server it's not mine. He walked through every table asking other customers, and finally went back to the counter and they huddled and it out, and I could see them removing the egg with a glove. This was a HUGE turn off and should not have happened. For one, what if I am allergic to eggs? This happened to my partner as well. Walking around with a hot bowl of noodles and soup around the restaurant and then circling back to me with it? That is not how to handle things from the very start. If the owner is reading this, which I hope you will, I"m leaving this feedback to hopefully help and know and understand how negative an impact this situation has created. I am one customer, and likely I won't be the only one. I unfortunately, will not return to your establishment - this is a shame because I really enjoy your entrees.

  • 2/5 Claudine L. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered takeaway late at night and I wish I could say better things but I was quite disappointed. We got two dishes: The Magic and Magic Beef. 1) The Magic It comes with more meat than Magic Beef: lamb chop, tripe, and a fried egg. The broth was okay, I found it a bit bland compared to other places so I didn't really enjoy it as much. It also doesn't stick to the noodles so. 2) Magic Beef I'd say the same thing as what I said in my review of The Magic. I'm not sure if I'd be willing to try it again. Maybe it's because I came in late at night but for a 24 hour establishment (is it still 24 hours?), I would expect the same service and quality any time of the day.

    One of my fav places to eat out. Prices are reasonable. Lora is super freindly and nice.

  • 4/5 yo j. 1 year ago on Google
    Had miscommunication during the order, waitress/owner/manager onsite did not honor my order in the bill but waived my tips…I guess similar result in money but the other way around will definitely made my day and I will tip more for the effort. This is a 24/7 restaurant, i guess master chief is on day shift since I cannot get the hair thin noodle option. Taste is good, morning is not busy, sitting in the restaurant and watch people pass by on the street is also great. Having a restaurant 24/7 like this is definitely good for the neighborhood.

  • 2/5 Parwinder T. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the special Magic noodle bowl. It was served warm but I would've preferred hotter. The lamb chop was dry and the egg was over cooked. The beef was nice but overall I was disappointed with the dish.

    I'm a first time customer. I came at 10:00PM on Friday, June 23rd and had a terrible service experience. There were two servers; one woman and one man. The woman never did anything to me but whoever the man was I felt just didn't like me as soon as I arrived. I never did anything to him, but for some reason he was treating everyone else with friendliness but whenever it came to interacting with me he seemed like he had something against me. When he served my food he would just drop it on my table. There was a point where he was serving another group and when he finished, I raised my hand to ask for some water. He was smiling and laughing, but as soon as he saw me his face looked angry, and when he came back he dropped the water on my table like he was mad. When I was almost done eating I dropped my chopsticks. When I asked him for a new pair, his face got even more mad, said something in another language and clearly was frustrated to give me a new pair of chopsticks. At that point I knew he had something against me. When it came to paying I wasn't sure if they would come to me or go up to the front to pay. When I asked him, he just completely ignored me and walked away. I don't want to assume it's racism, but I know what kind of person I am and I know that I never did him any wrong. I work and am a manager of a place that also does customer service and this is absolutely not the proper way to treat your customers. I enjoyed the food, but I will never come back to this place because of that server. For the owner, please acknowledge this because this whole province is very diverse and it's extremely unfair to be treated this way. You will most certainly lose a lot of customers if he keeps treating others like this. I've never in my life left a restaurant or any store without leaving a tip no matter how I was treated, but this restaurant and that server definitely deserves the first. What a horrible experience. Update: called the restaurant to get his name. His name is Martin. Martin, please treat others fairly.

    YUMMY and good price!! also really filling 😋 I recommend the tomato beef one (in picture) + the magic noodle is a little lacking in flavour) + also try not to wear white because the sauce can splash easily + The atmosphere is so nice and warm
