Still, that doesn't mean that people aren't entitled to picking favourites.For Annex residents and folks who frequent the Bloor and Bathurst area alike, one such favourite was Szechuan Noodle Bowl, the only Toronto location of a three-restaurant chain specializing in Szechuan cuisine and noodle-based dishes. Go figure.Situated directly at the corner of Bloor and Bathurst, steps away from Bathurst subway station, the restaurant has been a hub for those searching for a steaming bowl of hand-pulled noodles priced at $15 or less.Their Dan Dan Noodles, might we add, are out of this world.Nowadays, though, Torontonians will have to travel to the chain's other locations in Mississauga or, if you're in the mood for a road trip, Hamilton, to get their fill,...
