Searching for the best hand-pulled noodles in Toronto to try?
Hand-pulled noodles are a traditional Chinese dish that have become super popular in Toronto.
These heavenly noodles are made by kneading and stretching the dough by hand, which creates a unique texture and chewiness that you can’t find in machine-made noodles.
You’ve probably had Japanese ramen or Vietnamese pho, and Chinese hand-pulled noodles are just as amazing.
Here’s a list of some of the best places to find hand-pulled noodles in Toronto!

Mogouyan Hand Pulled Noodle
Mogouyan serves up delicious Lanzhou-style hand-pulled noodle dishes alongside amazing cocktails and appetizers.
All of their noodles are hand-pulled on-site at their restaurants, and they’re perfectly chewy and delicious.
You can choose from several different noodle shapes, from thin and flat noodles to flat round and thick noodles!
The Braised Beef Noodle Soup is a great option if you’re craving a hot noodle soup, and the Dan Dan Noodles and Noodles with Minced Beef Paste are both amazing dry noodle options.
Their dry noodles do come with a side of perfectly-spiced broth though, perfect for sipping alongside your noodles!
The noodle dishes are definitely enough to fill you up, but the appetizers are so worth ordering.
The Lamb Skewers and Garlic Seashell Scallops are definitely my favourites, and they’ve got plenty of other delish appetizers as well.
Mogouyan also has a variety of house-made drinks and cocktails to satisfy your thirst.
The Non-Caffeinated Mango Refreshment is our go-to, and the MGY Mango Martini (which includes Chinese liquor) is great if you’re feelin’ a drank!
They originally opened in Mogouyan, a district of Lanzhou, over 40 years ago, and Lanzhou is actually a city famous for its beef noodle soups.

Our fave location is definitely the Dundas & Bay location, and it gets quite busy during peak lunch and dinner hours!
