There's something fiercely hypnotic about watching chefs making la mian or hand-pulled noodles. Originating from China, this dish has made its way to Toronto in recent years and more spots keep opening up. The allure behind watching these chefs use their hands to turn clumps of dough into flowing strings of noodles can be mesmerizing. However, eating it is what makes it that much more enjoyable.
Here are the best hand-pulled noodles shops in Toronto.
