Bing and Noodle World is open in the Marpole neighbourhood serving up a variety of Chinese noodles and wraps. We were invited to check out a few of their signature dishes.
It’s great to see more and more restaurants opening up in this area as it gives customers more options.
Interior
Inside is very nice and bright with lots of tables inside. All of the tables are set up in 2’s and 4’s but if you have more people, they can adjust the tables.
Menu
Bings
Bing is a type of bread that is a Chinese bread dish made of wheat flour and stuffed with different fillings. They have a few different types on the menu. It’s not that easy to find Bings in Vancouver, so its good to see more variety in Vancouver.
We enjoyed the texture of the dough. They cut it up for you, so some corners might have more filling than others .
We tried 3 kinds – Pickled mustard plant stem with pork, minced pork with preserved vegetable, and beef pancake.
The pickled mustard plant stem with pork bing is our favourite. The pork has a great texture when paired with the pickled mustard. Can’t go wrong with that combination.
The best seller is the minced pork with preserved vegetable bing. There is also an option to add salted duck egg, which is also delicious.
Lastly, the beef bing was good if you really love beef.
Steamed chicken with chili oil sauce
This was pretty food. One of our favourite dishes. The chicken has a great texture and it’s not too fatty either. The meat is very moist and full of flavour from the sauces. Highly Recommended.
Spicy Cucumber and Beef Tendon
The marinated cucumber and beef tendon was a good combination. You get the crunch of the cucumber with the chewiness of the tendon, plus the hint of spice from the sauce. We enjoyed this too.
Braised Pork Bone
This was a newer dish on the menu and seemed popular because the tables around us ordered it, so we did too. Its good if you love braised pork with bones. Some may not like because of bones.
Deep fried boneless chicken thigh
The chicken thigh comes out big and thin. It is crisp on the outside and served with some pickled vegetables. It was another recommended item on the menu.
Fresh Meat Wontons
The wontons are small compared to the typical wontons from other places. This skin in thin and has good flavour when paired with the soup broth.
Shredded pork, preserved veggie and sliced bamboo thin noodle soup
Of course you gotta get noodles here. The soup broth come is bone soup and its thick, milk and delicious. It comes with a good amount of noodles. If you leave it for too long, the noodles tend to get soft and soak up the broth. Best to eat it right away.
Pan Fried Dry Noodle with Pork Intestine
We had to try a dry noodle dish too. We did find that the noodle texture quite different than the ones in the noodle soup. We did enjoy the texture more in this dry noodle dish. The dish was good but we wished there was a bit more sauce as it would make mixing the noodles a bit easier as it started to clump together.
Braised Beef on Rice
This was a really good dish. You get a good amount of braised beef. The beef was really tender and soft. It also came with 2 sides of picked veggies, which went well with the dish. Highly recommended.
Final Thoughts
Overall, we really enjoyed the steamed chicken with chili oil, pickled mustard stem with pork bing, and the braised beef on rice. They have a good selection of items on the menu and you’ll find something you like.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area for some comforting food.
