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.
Nourriture délicieuse, bons serveurs, bonne ambiance. Je n'ai pas aimé qu'il n'y ait pas de toilettes, vous devez le porter au deuxième étage & le chercher.

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 🩷🩷
Came back a week later because it was so good! I'm not usually a huge fan of lamb, but the lamb noodle soup has made me a convert :) do yourself a favour & order the lamb skewers as well! Very tender & flavourful meat. We also enjoyed the cucumber & potato salads. The server on Friday night was super friendly & knowledgeable about allergens on the menu. & prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

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.
Absolutely love this place! The food is great, the staff is friendly, & you need to try the lamb soup with thick noodles, its the best! Strongly recommend if you are in the area

Spacious Northern Chinese hand-pulled noodles restaurant. They have only 2 size of noodles. I tried their signature dish (the lamb noodle soup) with the #6 noodles & was quite disappointed. It lacked flavour & the noodles were thick & heavy. On the other hand, the spicy mushroom & chicken noodle soup was delicious & full of flavour. The #4 noodles were less thick & quite enjoyable. Very good service. You can get served in both French & English. I will definitely come back to try their other spicy soups.
It's almost the authentic Henan food, the noodle with stewed lamb & the dishes are tasty. I am from Henan, the way you stewed lamb is just like what I had when I was little in my hometown.
J adore ce restaurant! Tout est bon, les condiments sont bien doses & la soupe a l agneau est delicieuse. De plus, le personnel est accueillant & l ambiance est appaisante 💜
We recently dined at the Le Lotus Bleu restaurant that left us thoroughly impressed. The hand-made lamb noodles soup was a culinary delight, boasting rich flavors & tender chunks of lamb. The broth was aromatic & perfectly seasoned, creating a comforting & satisfying dining experience. The attention to detail in crafting the noodles showcased the chef's skill. The cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyment, making it a must-visit for noodle enthusiasts seeking a delectable bowl of hand-made goodness.
