We used to come for their hand pulled noodle and didn't know they started a breakfast/ congee menu and expanded their regular menu. The place wasn't busy which is surprising as the value of the breakfast deal is amazing considering you get a decent sized bowl of congee with fritters/ rice roll/ turnip cakes of some sort. I definitely appreciates the separate table and how spacious the place is in comparison to other similar restaurants in the area. Service was prompt and friendly. I definitely would want to have their noodles again when I come back next time.

Really great service and really good braised beef noodles! Highly recommend, they only do take debit and cash

Servings are large and noodles are fresh. Very crowded, a lot of varies of different noodles.

Both claypot rice and pulled Langzou style pulled noodles are pretty much on point, delicious and heartwarming. Both comfort food and delicacy.

Big Beef Bowl has been my goto place for hand-pulled noodles since I tried it last December. I can't say if it's the best because I've only tried about 3 other hand-pulled noodle places, but it's currently my favourite. As with most hand-pulled noodle places, you can customize the noodle shape and thickness. This will affect the texture and chewiness of the noodle. (The thicker the noodle, the chewier the mouth feel... think angel hair vs. Linguini pasta). I usually get the regular or thick flat noods. The "Classic" noodles come with beef slices, thin turnip slices, and corrinader in a savory beef broth. It's mucho yummy! The portion of the small is generous, so be warned if you want to order side dishes. On this visit, my eyes overpowered my brain, so I ordered the Turnip cakes and pot sticker sides as well. Not much I can say about the Turnip cake. They are your standard dim sum styled side. It was good. The pot stickers were better than most places. Filled with pork and chives (I think) and pan fried to crispy perfection! Dip them into the accompanying black vinegar and take those dumplings to the next level. I think it's obvious I'm a fan of their noodles and sides, but they also have an extensive variety of congee and claypot rice items. (Haven't tried yet). I went around 1:30pm on a Sunday and it was busy, but I still managed to get a table. The wait staff were fast and polite, but could smile more... they seemed so serious! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try an affordable, delicious bowl of hand-pulled noodles in a causal setting... My 2 cents.

The food is alright, but they are a complete mess for dine in. Forgot about half of our orders, we only ordered 4 items. The two big groups that came in after us got their orders all before us, it was that bad. We waited for almost an hour and asked about our order three times. Never again. At least check our order, they just kept saying it’s coming without it coming.

We came at off peak time (4pm on a weekend) and was seated immediately. Overall, friendly service and quick food preparation. Impressed with the variety offered on the menu. It looks like two restaurants is combined in one space - Big Beef Bowl that offers Lanzhou style noodle and grills, and West Gate canton restaurant that offers congee, rice rolls, clay pot rice, dumplings etc. This makes it perfect for family groups when everyone has different cravings :) We tried the ox tail beef noodle. The broth is flavourful, noodles has a nice chew, and the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Skewers of wings, pork belly, and lamb were tasty. Cantonese cheung fan was filled with ample amount of meat and veggie. Dumplings and san ji bao were scrumptious and juicy.

First time here and absolutely blown away! Tried their 生煎包, 夫妻肺片, and 牛尾拉麵 – all incredibly delicious. You can set your highest expectations, and they will not disappoint. Thanks to Wendy and Cita for the recommendation!

A restaurant specializing in beef noodles. You can choose the thickness of the noodles, and it's delicious no matter what you choose. The thickest one is hard to eat, but it's chewy and delicious! It looks like pho, but it's a little different. It contains a lot of boiled radish and herbs. The clerk was very nice and seemed to like Bruce Lee, so there were a lot of Bruce Lee pieces on display. I wanted the shirt the clerk was wearing (lol)
