Le Lotus Bleu receives praise for fresh handmade noodles and dumplings, with hand pulled thick noodles and broths described as rich yet delicate, and a range of dishes including beef and lamb noodle soups, spicy pork bowls, dumplings, and dim sum that many find highly satisfying. The open kitchen and the live noodle making add to an authentic and cozy atmosphere. Service is described as friendly and portions are generous with good value, though some note that peak times can be crowded and service slows when staff is stretched. The place is called a hidden gem in Chinatown with a casual and welcoming vibe, and the noodles and broth are repeatedly highlighted as the standout items, especially the hand pulled noodles and the spicy chili oil. There are some drawbacks mentioned such as indoor air circulation being warm, seating being cramped and flow awkward, occasional menu items running out or being less flavorful in traditional Lanzhou style offerings, and occasional wrong orders. Practical notes include no on site restroom and the need to use the adjoining building washrooms, and occasional glitches with the payment machine. Despite these, many reviewers say the quality, price and authenticity keep them coming back for the noodles and the comforting flavors.
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

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.
Bowls are huge. I had the beef tongue & heart dish that is served cold. It was absolutely delicious. Didn't see many reviews for it & like to live on the edge of what most people consider normal. So glad I had this dish.
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.
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! 👏🏻
They're food is so so delicious & you can tell they make it from scratch. The braised beef soup noodles are sooooooo good! The noodles are hand pulled. The Daoko chicken is also really good.
Hello, I think we were unlucky, but I had the impression that another couple had the same problem as us. We were placed at a table & completely forgotten by the service, after 10 minutes we had to go & get a card ourselves, despite attempts to sign to the waiter... People who arrived after us had time to order, eat & pay before we were served.... We ordered an appetizer, & had time to finish our main course before the appetizer arrived.... If you have the courage to wait, the ramen is incredible, frankly. Be careful there is a dish called braised beef, this dish is cold & it's normal, but there is no indication to show that this dish is cold. I'm sorry I didn't leave any tips, but there were too many problems with the service from start to finish. When you see people arriving after you have received their appetizers in less than 10 minutes & we finally get our appetizers 1.5 hours later, there's a problem.
Second time coming here & it's amazing. Love the handpulled noodles & the braised beef & pork is so tender! Even when I order the spicer soup it was too much for me & I told the hostess & she quickly brought me a bowl & helped me even herself remove some of the spice from the soup which was so kind! Highly recommend
Stumbled into this restaurant after a long day of walking & it was so much better than expected. The service was incredible! Cindy, our server, was very helpful & sweet. The food was amazing! The braised beef soup was so rich & delicious. The others in my group ordered the rice noodle soup with beef & the hanan noodles with beef & steamed veggies. The fried pork wontons & soup pork dumplings were super fresh & tasty :) & the best thing yet was the price! Everything was very affordable & worth the price. We will definitely be coming back here whenever we're in Montréal!!!! Thank you Le Lotus Bleu for the wonderful lunch!

This place hit the spot. Casual, delicious, straightforward. Very satisfied with portions & price. Between me, wife, & kiddo we shared a braised beef noodle soup, order of pork dumplings, & xiao long bao & left with happy stomachs & souls. Chili oil made in house was good with everything. Lady working the front of the house was so friendly; we were impressed listening her shift seamlessly between English, French, & Mandarin with the patrons who came in. Stayed at hotel across the street & were happy we chose this spot vs another further down the street.
Beyond my expectation! We had the signature hand pulled lamb soup noodle, sliced braised beef, shredded salad, DongBei LiangPi (cold skin noodle). Everything was very authentic & flavorful. If you order non-spicy, you can add a bit of chili oil & vinegar to make the dishes even more delicious.
I loved the food! The broth was full of flavour, the noodles felt fresh & firm & the meat was melting in my mouth. I tried lamb noodle soup & my husband took braised beef. Both of us enjoyed our meal & were set to come back. Greatly recommend.
Love this place so much! I went here with my family & it was so good. I got M9 with the pork & my family got beef & soup. Personally, I love the pork. It was the best dish ever & my whole family wanted MY pork instead of ordering their own. That goes to show how good it is. When you are going to dine in or do take out, get the pork
