ETOBICOKE, Ont. — Noodlebox has opened its first Etobicoke location, with part of its grand opening proceeds going to support a local youth hockey team.
The Asian fusion restaurant, located at 3014 Bloor St. W., celebrated its opening on Jan. 31 with bubble tea samples, live music, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a buy-one-get-one-free offer for guests.
The company says 10 per cent of opening-day proceeds were donated to a local youth hockey team.
“Not only do we show up for our community, we also bring bold flavours and sky-high spice levels,” said Michael Contento, the operator of the Etobicoke location and other Foodtastic-owned banners, including Freshii and Second Cup. “Community involvement is essential to how we operate and grow our businesses.”
Noodlebox says the Etobicoke restaurant also supports a local school lunch program and local community theatres.

The restaurant is located across from Royal York Station on Line 2 and is co-branded with Second Cup, offering both food and beverage options in one location.
The menu includes customizable Asian fusion bowls, with guests able to choose from 14 different boxes and select spice levels ranging from mild to ghost pepper. Popular menu items include Spicy Peanut, Teriyaki and Pad Thai. The location also offers nine flavours of bubble tea.
“We are thrilled to bring scorching heat levels and tailor-made bowls cooked fresh with fire to Etobicoke,” said Trista Jorgenson, marketing director of Noodlebox. “From a humble beginning as a food cart in B.C. to a nationwide chain, Noodlebox has what it takes to keep customers craving more.”
The Etobicoke location is Noodlebox’s 22nd store in Ontario and 70th across Canada. The company says it expects to open at least 10 more locations in 2026.
Noodlebox began as a food cart in Victoria’s Chinatown in 2001 and has since expanded across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Ontario.
