Unlike with Japanese ramen and Vietnamese pho, places that serve hand-pulled Chinese noodles are not as ubiquitous in Vancouver.
Known as lamian, noodles stretched by hand are said to have a silky and chewy texture.
Restaurant broker Jean Seguin observes that there are only a few spots in Vancouver where Chinese noodles are made by hand.
“Few do the actual hand pulling,” Seguin told the
Straight.
There used to be one such place in Kitsilano, the Mi Mary’s Noodle and Liquor Bar.
However, the 3188 Macdonald Street establishment closed in December 2020.
