Le Lotus Bleu is widely celebrated as an authentic and underrated gem in Montreal, offering exceptionally tasty, hand pulled noodles and flavorful broths that many patrons prefer over neighboring options. Visitors consistently praise the generous portion sizes, affordable pricing, and the skillful preparation of fresh, chewy noodles and juicy dumplings, often noting that the experience feels like a cozy, family run establishment. While the venue can become warm due to the open kitchen and sometimes feels compact, the high quality of the food and the welcoming, efficient service make it a favorite destination for those seeking traditional, comfort oriented Chinese cuisine.
The food is delicious, but the service is lacking & it's not a clean place. We had the beef noodle soup (10/10), assorted dumplings (9/10), & potato salad (3/10). After waiting 20 minutes I had to call someone over to order. They gave us 2 napkins for my family of 4, & no plates/bowls.
Fell in love with the Le Lotus Bleu during our summer 2023 visit & we've been meaning to go back! They've made several changes in the past few years, including bringing the noodle chefs to the front & staying open on Tuesdays. The hand pulled noodles here are so good. My partner & I got the small bowls (braised beef & lamb noodle soups), but the portions are HUGE. Highly recommend going for noodle style 6 (thickest, more chewy) or 4. We also got the pork & cabbage dumplings, which are super juicy. This meal was very filling; we could've done without the dumplings, but they're too good to pass up. Service was ok since only one person was handling most FOH procedures. Atmosphere was also fine. It was just really warm, even with the multiple fans running (open doors, no AC), but it was to be expected with the pots of noodles cooking in the front. Since everything is so tasty & affordable, we'll try to make a stop every time we visit :)
The hand-pulled noodles are bouncy & DELISH! I wish that they had put a little less chili oil on my chicken & mushroom soup (i would recommend asking them to not put any & adding yourself the chili oil). The Henan style beef noodles were meh, would not reorder.
I went with my friends, so I forgot to take photos of the beef noodles & spring rolls, but both were delicious. The soup dumplings were a good temp & didnt burn my mouth when they arrived so I could eat faster. The flavor of the soup dumplings felt like it melted in my mouth! The fried chicken was the crispy chicken I've ever had, but is doesn't come with sauce & its not pieces but rather a piece of chicken cut into slices. If you are looking for korean friend chicken or a type of very moist chicken, then this is not it, but for just dark meat, fried chicken I like this place. The wonton soup was very good! The dumplings for the wonton soup was a good size & the wonton were thin & slippery, which I loved, but if you prefer thicker dumplings for your wontons then it is not for you. I also really liked the broth as it reminded me of a resturant I used to eat at in Virginia. Lastly, the atmosphere was very nice & quiet. Overall, I really liked this place & will definitely be coming back for the everything, but especially the wonton soup & dumplings!
Wow, I didn't expect the beef noodle soup to be this good! The hand-pulled noodles are definitely the best part-perfectly chewy & delicious. It's a must-try.
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.
Stopped here for a late lunch & it was delicious. Because they make their own noodles we tried this & we were not disappointed. The beef noodle soup was delicious & highly recommend the dumplings. My only comment is the air circulation inside was poor so it was quite warm....but the food was worth the stop. & our 6 yr old loved the spicier noodles. Yummm.
Fantastic food, always on point
I warmly suggest, either the braised beef or lamb soup
The other options are great , but those are 10/10 !!
Also their daoko herbal roasted chicken
