" My first visit to TBay Bistro left me with mixed feelings. While the Lanzhou noodle soup was delicious—with tender beef and a clear, aromatic broth—the service left a little to be desired. I had to wait a significant amount of time before my order was taken and the place did feel understaffed. That said, I cannot deny the quality of the food! The noodles were made fresh and paired beautifully with the soup. I might give it another try, hoping for a better service experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" TBay Bistro is a fantastic little restaurant that brings the flavors of Northern China to life! The hand-pulled noodles are absolutely delicious. I especially liked the Lanzhou beef noodles which had a rich flavor. The owners really put effort into making their customers feel welcome. However, I found the seating a bit cramped during peak hours, which detracted from the overall experience. That said, the delicious food makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to TBay Bistro after hearing buzz about their authentic noodles. The atmosphere was casual but friendly. The broth in the Lanzhou noodle soup was fragrant and comforting; it reminded me of meals shared at home. Additionally, the dumplings were fresh and flavorful! I will certainly visit again for the delicious bowls of noodles. " (*Curated Review*)
