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.
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)
Anyway they are the only Huimian I can find in Montreal, tastes are not like hometown, Shaoji (chicken) too salty, Huimian (soup noodle)'s soup is not delicious. Service is just so so.

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
Delicious hand pulled noodles at this casual Chinese restaurant in Chinatown in the Swatow Plaza. Nice decor & pleasant service. I had the Spicy Mushrooms & Chicken Noodle Soup & my husband had the imperial rolls & fried shrimp wontons. I loved my soup & my husband enjoyed his food.
Omg that was delicious. Had the lamb with #6 noodles
I WILL BE BACK FOR.MORE!!!
Such a reasonable price. My wife had the spicy chicken & mushroom. I was so full or I would have attacked hers as well.
Pork & shrimp dumplings...yum.
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!
this was hands down the best noodle i have had in a while. chewy & broth was very good (we got the spicy chicken one) & the smoked chicken was incredibly yummy
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.
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).

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.
I had the spicy chicken soup with rice noodles. Just spicy enough, with delicious marinated fried tofu pieces & freshly made noodles. It's gonna be my favorite place. Plus, the waitress seemed to love her job, always smiling & giving a caring service.

My new favourite restaurant in Montreal, which means I will be going back a lot. Merci Isa pour la découverte !!!!! You were 100% right!! Henan stewed noodles ... Wowwwwwww. I had the one with spicy tofu, mushrooms & chicken & omfg is this the best soup I've had in my entire life. Every single bite was absolutely heavenly. The kitchen staff is impressive & kind, & the waitress was simply a gem ❤️ I will be back many times !!
Really nice Chinese restaurant, staff were very welcoming & helpful. Lots of options on the menu, noodles, chicken & dumplings were all really good. It might get overshadowed by the place next door but deserves to be tried too!
First Timer. Was walking around randomly decided to walk in. Welcoming staffs & place was clean. We took dumplings; personally had the spicy pork something & others had chicken bowls also. While the chicken ones were good, my spicy porc bowl was very good 💯 The lady recommended us the type of noodle thickness & it was perfect. #recommended Will visit again
wonderful! the staff are so welcoming & kind. I ordered the spicy mushroom & chicken noodle soup, the broth was so flavourful & the noodles were very bouncy & fresh. def will be coming back to try other dishes!
Not one dish here lacks flavour! Not only are the prices very fair (ranging from about 12$-17$ per meal) but the portions are very generous. Everyone at my table purchased something different, ranging from the lamb noodles, mushroom & chicken noodles, dumplings etc & we all enjoyed it thoroughly. Though, a crowd favourite was the spicy pork & we all agreed that when we come back we'd each re order it! Staff was incredibly kind 🩷🩷
