Le Lotus Bleu is widely praised as an authentic and affordable destination in Chinatown, particularly celebrated for its hand-pulled noodles and flavorful broths. Many visitors highlight the fresh quality of the handmade noodles and dumplings, with several patrons noting the enjoyable experience of watching staff prepare the noodles on-site.

Despite these minor inconsistencies in service and comfort, the consensus remains that this restaurant is a highly recommended, underrated gem for those seeking genuine Northern Chinese cuisine.
We visited Le Lotus Bleu on our third day in Montreal & instantly regretted not coming sooner! The lamb noodle soup was incredible- the flavor was spot on, the broth was light yet comforting, & the noodles were cooked perfectly.
Honestly, it blows the LanZhou next door completely out of the water (which we visited on our first day here). Plus, the medium bowl came with way more meat than we expected for the price. The roasted chicken was also amazing. Highly recommend both the chicken & the lamb noodles!
I just discovered this place & I think I have already been like 4 times in less than a month.
Very sweet hostess, service pretty quick considering plates cooked on site.
I have tasted the shrimp+ porc fried raviolis : sooo good. I use soya sauce, a hit of balsamic vinegar & their spicy sauce. & also the fried imperial rolls: also very good & crispy.
My other guests tasted the small chicken soups : really great portion & hot & quick too.
The space is cozy , however there is enough movement to not have to wait in line.
In walking distance to Metro Champ de Mars.
& the hostess always notices new people coming in & makes sure to seat them or ask them how many people.
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!
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
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.
