Shaughnessy Village Downtown

Chinese Soups

Review Summary

Chez Nouilles draws mixed but largely positive feedback, with many noting a welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, generous portions, and a strong chili oil that enhances the thick noodles and aromatic broth. Noodles are often described as wonderful and the beef soup as excellent, and several reviews say they would recommend it and would return, highlighting good value and generous portions. However, some diners find the noodles vary greatly in thickness, the soup lacking depth of flavor, and the beef not very flavorful, and a few suggest that other places offer a better version of this noodle style. Overall the experience is favorable, combining warmth and solid dishes with room for improvement in flavor balance.View restaurant profile
