Cabin 5555 in Kerrisdale is NOT the greatest for food, to any extent. I know because I lived in the neighbourhood for seventeen years. I was there before it even had its grand opening (It used to be an Indian restaurant and a HKSC before that). One thing you might like though… Their spicy is SPICY, especially if you let them know that you love spice…! Last time I got the medium and my mouth was on FIRE, I felt like each sweat droplet was trying to force its way out of my scalp. Did I mention it was spicy? I can usually handle spice but whoooo. HOT. Anyway, as I was saying… Cabin 5555 is not the way to go for delectable and incredibly tasty cuisine.

LSD is one of the best Taiwanese noodle places I’ve been to. The prices are reasonable, the food is great most of the time (though sometimes their soup is oilier on some days). I really like that the menu is quite extensive although it would be nice to have fried pork chop noodles included. It’s hard to find a restaurant that is good all around in terms of food, service, price, and short wait time for your food. Another plus is the fact that you can order small or large sizes and spicy or non-spicy soup. Highly recommended!

Hi Jacob:

We had visited/blogged about Corner 23 before. They were good and we enjoyed it. I particularly remembered the oyster omelette we had there. I have heard of Cabin 5555 before but did not go because I thought I read somewhere they were just so-so. Maybe I should I give them a try too.

Thanks for all these posts on beef noodle. I agree with your other post in that there aren’t really many good beef noodle places in Richmond, and therefore was on the search of other ones outside of Richmond. I recently tried LSD beef noodles, the soup was great, but the flank is much too dry. I’m sure a lot of chinese people would agree, as they prefer to eat beef with the tendons attached, known as shank? Hopefully next time I’ll order half flank/tendon to counter the dryness.
If you would like to try other places, I think Cabin 5555 and Corner 23 are worth a shot.

[...] So I got the Beef and Noodle in Spicy Soup. I got the large one. The soup does look very spicy and flavourful but looks is deceiving. I would say that the soup is respectable but I think I had tasted better ones in … Lao Shan Dong. [...]

Went there the other day, not sure why but the noodle doesn’t taste freshly made, overall the taste is pretty ok. Still prefer the noodle shop at the traffic junction close to Wellingdon Church.

Thanks Ben. Though i am from the Philippines (no LSD resto here), i’d love to try the tendon noodles. Looking at the pictures just makes me hungry. :))

The hot soup looks so appetising, the colour makes it look quite spicy (as in chilli) but it’s not, from what I gather? Great review!

Hey LotusRapper:
Yup. I still remember you raving about LSD before. LOL! I walk past LSD everyday to where I park my car … and I almost went in today before heading home. Sanity prevailed because Suanne would not be too pleased if I went home and not eat the dinner she prepared!
