The
first restaurant to open was the Victoria Park location. At its
height, Noodle Delight had four restaurants in the Greater Toronto
Area as well as one on Burnhamthrope Road in Mississauga. We even
had one at the West Edmonton Mall in 1985. For a while, Noodle Delight
went down the franchise route but it did not work out due to inconsistent
quality of food and service. |

Through
the years, there have been many highlights in the long history of
Noodle Delight. The ones that stand out the most for Mr. Lam is
the one year anniversary of the opening of the Mississauga location
in 1986 which featured a Chinese Lion Dance and Her Worship Mayor
'Hurricane' Hazel McCallion.

Another
highlight was the contest "The Great Fortune Cookie Caper"
in 1985/86, which featured fortune cookies with various prizes and
a chance to win the grand prize: a trip for two to Hong Kong with
flight and hotel. His Worship Mayor Gus Harris of Scaborough (1979-1987)
presided over the festivities on the evening of the presentation
of the grand prize. |

Mr.
Lam is also very proud that Noodle Delight has won the Life Style
Award (now called the Ontario Eat Smart Award) consistently for
over five years in a row. Looking at the diverse menu, one can see
that there are many healthy eating options at Noodle Delight.
In 2004, the old Victoria Park location and its adjacent plaza was
torn down to make way for a new development. When the doors reopened
for Noodle Delight, we had a new look, a new location but the same
great food and service. The space is now a third smaller than the
original location and we have recycled those familiar fixed seating,
green and white tables. You can't abandon something so classic! |
