Just moved to West End and discovered this Szechuan restaurant. It was rare to see Yi Bin Noodle 宜賓燃麵 sold, and it was to delightful surprise that it tasted really delicious! The veggies cubes and minced pork combined with the authentic Szechuan spicy sauce brought out the authentic flavor of this famous dried noodle dish. I highly recommend anyone craving for some spicy Chinese food to drop by this place with friends.

Great Sichuan noodles and dishes in downtown Vancouver! Very authentic taste and they are very accommodating to our dietary requirements. They are able to do allium free (no onions, garlic, leeks and chives) for most of the vegan options, would highly recommend to everyone!

Dan dan noodles - 4 Mapo Tofu - 4 Cold chicken - 3 Mapo Tofu delivers about half of the times —and when it does, it’s probably the best I’ve ever had. Same thing with the Noodles, they are just way too inconsistent. It could be soupy, lack spices - depends on your luck.
