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.
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.
We ordered half rotisserie, small size of beef green onion dumplings n cucumber salad for two people. I enjoyed a lot. Rotisserie is a bit salty, but it's very authentic like what in my childhood memories. I think it will be perfect to eat with the traditional Henan soupe noodles.
Great spot, with attentive service. Prices were fair, & food was very authentic. We ordered dumplings & dim sum, but would be interested in coming back next time for the fresh hand pulled noodles!
Thanks!
The lamb soup, & the soups in general are very good & authentic. The crispy dumplings have the perfect texture. Don't fade the cold appetizer either if you like offals. They are delicious.
Also one of best fragrant chili oil in MTL.
Took a bit long to arrive but it was worth all the wait in the world for Xiaolongbao, pork juicy!! Fabulous!! I highly recommend this place, real authentic food! It is out of this world 🪭🙏❤?
Really delicious & authentic Chinese food. The restaurant may be less known but it's a must try! The owners are very kind too!
& yes their Daoko Herbal roasted chicken is so unique & very tasty!
Delicious authentic Chinese food. We had hand-made noodles with lamb & beef. Also, we ordered fried dumplings, daoko chicken, etc. Overall, the food was tasty & highly recommended. The service & the atmosphere were excellent.
Very tasty handmade noodles, made in real-time! Plenty of options on the menu. I got beef noodles & the beef was tender & juicy & the broth was very flavorful. The pork wonton was also amazing! Staff was super nice & the ambiance cozy & authentic. Very reasonable prices & portions! 👏🏻
This is a authentic style of Chinese food selling house made noodle dishes, soups & dumplings & regional Chinese dishes. Very rustic & worn decor.Good for a quick bite. The service is friendly but understaffed. A must try is the spicy chicken mushroom soup with #6 noodle ( very spicy).
Got a bunch of things. Highlights were hand pulled noodles all of the dumplings especially shrimp glass dumplings off dimsum menu. Rolled in at 8:30 with a party of 8 staff was very attentive & accompdating. Food was fresh & authentic. Definitely coming back next time I'm in MTL. Compares very well to Chinese food in NYC. +very affordable price although that was not in consideration when searching for authentic Chinese food.

Really delicious authentic Chinese noodles. Lacks some of the polish of the fancier places but none of the flavor. Extremely tasty spot we were surprised at just how good it was. Get the Woodear mushrooms!
Absolutely superb. Have been twice in three days. Truly authentic & delicious food from Henan province - very rare to find outside of China. The quality of the noodles, broths, dumplings & more are all excellent Really welcoming & lovely staff. & great value.
