ding hao sucks balls imo. super overpriced for the amount of food you get.
tbh, i dont think there will ever be a place as good as rico's. i love lao shan dong..but it's just not the same!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! | They do have good noodles, but the beef sucks! Also, the soup could use some improvement.

yea, i went to lao shan dong, good call you guys. thanks.
the soup was very flavorful, and the noodles were oh-so-chewy and fresh.
not as good as rico's, but they take the crown for now..
if anyone's gonna try it, its on nelson st, not kingsway hidden away a little bit.

^^^ ahah I agree. I don't personally like Lao Shan Dong either. The meat they use is not your typical ones used, so damn lean. The soup base is pretty good though.
I prefer the one at Trity, they put tomatos in it too. Closest to the ones I've tried in TW.

you can try the place behind lansdowne mall in that little plaza, i don't remember the name of the place in english, i know its called "wong" in chinese. can't miss the big chinese character
its not the best, but its pretty good. the best was this restaurant that was shut down on the corner of broadway and nanaimo, it was the best.....best i ever had
