Uncle Potato Noodle

Uncle Potato Noodle brings authentic Northeastern Chinese (Dongbei) street food flavors to downtown Toronto near the University of Toronto campus. Opened by Shenyang native Alex, the restaurant specializes in traditional clay pot potato starch noodles crafted for locals seeking hearty, regional comfort fare. Situated just steps from the bustling Bay and Wellesley intersection, the space offers an unpretentious counter-service atmosphere where the focus centers squarely on long-simmered broths and traditional preparation techniques.

First-time visitors can customize their clay pot experience by choosing individual protein toppings like sliced marbled beef, braised pork intestine, or seafood mix, alongside adjustable spice and numbing tiers. Each piping-hot bowl comes loaded with tofu skin, enoki mushrooms, black fungus, baby bok choy, and a quail egg, featuring wonderfully chewy, translucent noodles. Supplement your meal with exceptionally crispy fried pork ribs or shatter-crisp enoki mushrooms for an ideal textural contrast during lunch or dinner rushes.
