Remember years ago when it was said food carts would harm local restaurant business? This cart actually revitalized locally owned restaurant business.

There's one location in Chinatown and another across from the Falls lot on Douglas.
Know it all.

The other one is in Kits, I believe although I may be wrong and often am.
Edit: fleet-fingered Derf beat me to it.

Fleet-fingered Derf would be a good name for a rock band (with apologies to Dave Barry).

Anyway, Oodle Noodle on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton is excellent. I love it. It's on the same lines of Noodle Box but a lot better.

Why does it take so long? It easily takes 15 minutes or more for your order to come out the other end no matter how many people seem to be ahead of you. I think there is an issue with people phoning in orders and jumping the queue.
Watching them cook, I've noticed there is no portion control. They toss handfuls of ingredients from the refrigerated storage unit into the wok some distance away. Liquids are squirted from sqeeze bottles. As a result, there's a debris field between the refrigerated storage unit and the woks. Oddly, they ask you how spicy you want it from 1 to 10 but basically its either the hot sauce liquid jet hits the wok or it didn't. It's much more binary.
Its a drag when they have to remake your order because some street person has swept in and grabbed your box off the counter before you get to it.
And the music is always too loud (other people have told me this so its not just me getting old. Honest).I like the 'hole-in-the-wall' quality to the space (the Fisgard Street store) and the general busyness. It reminds me of the small take-away places in New York by [url=http://www.ltlarchitects.com:1904c]Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis[/url:1904c]. As condos get smaller and kitchens are downsized to just a microwave and kettle, these types of funky take-aways are going to be more common.

Tides Restaurant (wood skewer ceiling)
and Dash Dogs

So that I could satisfy my noodle cravings whenever I wanted, I reverse engineered their recipe:

It's close in taste and cost for your first order (because of the set-up costs of some of the ingredients). After about two orders, it works out to $3 or less per serving. Most of the ingredients are sold down the street at the Fisgard Market.

All you need is a clueless sullen young person to serve it to for that authentic Victoria restaurant experience.
Welcome!

I love their stuff. I wasn't keen on the prices or the attitude: they charge $2.00 to split an order into two boxes.

Oh wow! That looks really easy to make and looks really good. Perhaps I might learn how to cook (or get my sister to cook it) and it would be very tasty!

Welcome to the forum. Now if only we could reverse engineer the "egg" in an Egg McMuffin we could take over the world!
