Slurp Slap

Quite a few condos are going up in the Sheppard and Consumer Road area. But further in on Consumer, a curious 4 stories structure has been completed. But neither residential dwellings nor office space, it was simply a 3-level parking garage. The only upside is that the ground floor was occupied by 7-8 restaurants.

One of the biggest was Omni Noodle. Once inside, you can see through the glass partition into the kitchen that the noodles are freshly spun out from dough as orders come in. As expected, the menu was dominated by either fried noodle dishes or noodle soups. You can customize your noodle by selecting the type (such as wheat), style (flat, round, etc.), and thickness. On Wednesday for lunch, I chose the vegetarian soup ($10.99) and a thick, round noodle. The noodle was good but too thick. Next time, I would probably choose a thinner style or thickness. My main issue was that the soup was a sad bowl with a few greens. Compared to the mix of pine nuts, corn, mushrooms and more from Landing Noodle near Spadina, this soup was barely worth eating.
