Le Lotus Bleu is praised for freshly made, hand pulled noodles, flavorful broths, and tasty dumplings, with lamb and beef noodle soups often highlighted as standout; reviewers note authentic Northern Chinese flavors at very reasonable prices, generous portions, and friendly, attentive service, though the atmosphere can be cramped and service may be slower during peak times; a few comments mention that there is no bathroom inside the restaurant, with facilities located upstairs in the adjoining building; overall the place is considered a hidden gem worth multiple visits for the noodles and the vibe.
Waited almost 20min for my order, my colleague waited 30min for his meal which at some point someone asked him what was his order...Then they tried to charge that bowl twice. The dining room is quite small & compact, so I kept getting bumped in my back. We had a bucket of water on the table but nobody passed to give us cups. The only good point was the bowls were pretty big, but mostly filled with broath....
delicious, super affordable, & fast service!
the broth, chewy & bounciness of the noodles, the chilli oil & everything was sooooo good!!!! highly recommend the chicken & shiitake spicy noodle soup!
their lamb soup is very popular too i'll have to try this next time

J'y suis allé pour le poulet Daoko une spécialité de la maison. Arrivé à 12h05 un jeudi midi. A peine quelques minutes après mon arrivée je commande: une demie portion de poulet, une salade pa pomme de terre épicée & un verre d'eau. Le poulet & l'eau arrivent une dizaine de minutes plus tard & me paraît bon...j'attends donc l'accompagnement...j'attends..j'attends & attends encore. Une vingtaine de minutes plus tard, je réussis à attirer l'attention de la (seule) serveuse qui n'a qu'une chose à me dire: wait...entretemps la faim & mon horaire me font manger mon poulet devenu froid. Finalement, une quarantaine de minutes après l'avoir commandé & avoir fini le poulet, la salade arrive sans excuse sans explication...je n'avais pourtant pas commandé un dessert mais bien une salade d'entrée.... inacceptable. Quand au moment de payer je l'indique à la serveuse...un petit sourire plutôt qu'une explication ou un sourire. Service POURRI. Plus jamais....il y a plein d'autres endroits intéressants dans le quartier chinois.
The food is great! I loved the hand pulled noodles in the lamb soup & the xialongbao were delicious, the soup inside was super flavorful. Bonus points for seeing the noodles being made live!
Also I was served in French which is rare in that area of the city, much appreciated:)
This was our favorite restaurant of our 5 days spent in Montreal. We had the beef hand-pulled noodle soup, pork dumplings, & jasmine tea. Everything was delicious, highly recommended. Decor & ambiance were also good, & staff were helpful navigating the menu. Initially it was pretty quiet crowd-wise, but around 12:30 all the tables filled up.
Une très belle surprise en plein coeur du quartier chinois de Montréal.
Dès l'extérieur, on est captivé : voir cette petite dame fabriquer les nouilles à la main derrière la vitrine est un vrai spectacle. Elle prend le temps de sourire, d'échanger, ce qui est assez rare & rend l'expérience encore plus authentique.
Nous nous sommes arrêtés pour goûter les ramens & les dumplings faits maison, & tout était absolument excellent. Les portions sont généreuses, les produits sont frais, les légumes croquants, & le bouillon léger, sans être gras - un vrai régal.
On sent que c'est une cuisine sincère, faite avec savoir-faire. L'ambiance est simple mais chaleureuse, avec ce côté typique des petits restaurants asiatiques locaux, sans prétention mais avec beaucoup d'authenticité.
Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter, autant pour la qualité des plats que pour l'expérience humaine.
Très belle découverte ! Les nouilles sont absolument délicieuses, avec une texture parfaite & un goût authentique.
Le service est chaleureux & rapide, & l'ambiance est agréable. On sent vraiment que tout est fait avec soin.
Je recommande vivement ce restaurant & je reviendrai sans hésiter !
House made noodles amazing as well as the dumplings & fried wontons.
Atmosphere a bit cramped & only bathroom ( not in restaurant but upstairs) was well… I took one look & turned around.
Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous allons dans ce restaurant & nous ne sommes jamais déçus. Les plats sont excellents, & les serveurs très gentils. U.e excellente découverte !
Il fait parti de nos coups de coeur.
Je recommande à 100% , c est toujours un régal

Visiting Montreal means anchoring near Chinatown for one simple reason >>> Le Lotus Bleu
despite the distance from my mission, for the pursuit of perfection in every plate of dumplings & every bowl of delicious soup.
Anyone giving this great place a food ranking lower than 4 is either upset about a matter & taking it too personally, or they simply don't appreciate real food that is legendary.
The atmosphere is not the greatest but I go there for the food. Sometimes the service is a bit slow & that is usually when it's super busy.
If you are seeking atmosphere, hit a diso or coffee lounge
If you are seeking great food, welcome to Le Lotus Bleu
I brought my young daughter here. We shared a chicken noodle bowl. The flavour was excellent & the noodles were the best I've ever had. My daughter gobbled up her noodles, & she's picky with Asian food. Said she loved it too.
The ambiance is quaint, cool teal coloured chairs & harbour motif. Might have been a seafood shop some time ago.
We will definitely be going back. We've tried a few places in the area & this one is the winner. Highly recommend if you have a kid who likes noodles (get the hand rolled noodles trust me)
Place sans prétention & toilettes à l'étage... mais qu'est ce que c'est bon !! Nouilles tirées à la largeur souhaitée quasiment devant vos yeux, la taille L comblera bien des estomacs !!... Je recommande...
