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.
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!
Super expérience au coeur du quartier Chinois ! Nous avons été ravi la nourriture était excellente & très copieuse pour un prix beaucoup plus que raisonnable ! Nous recommandons à 100% ce restaurant qui cuisine des produits maison !
Delicious food & the prices are very reasonable. The hostess was very nice & accommodating for our kids. It wasn't busy. Large noodle soup is VERY LARGE. Would recommend to a friend.
Amazing restaurant, the food is delicious & the staff are so friendly & caring. I definitely recommend. The dishes are affordable, we're talking about $12 up to ~15$ for a big bowl of noodles with vegetables & meat, & a broth full of flavors. Once, I went to eat with my family & the next time, I got some food to take out, I'll come back to for sure.

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.
Petit endroit pour manger tranquille, leur spécialité (Soupe à l'agneau) était délicieuse. Huile de Chili fait maison. Le personnel est courtois & sympathique. Mon bol était le plus petit & j'ai eu de la difficulté à le terminer tellement la portion est grosse & généreuse en nouilles, viande & légumes, surtout pour le prix. Je recommande !!
Le meilleur ramen de Montréal pour moi. Ce qui est dingue c'est qu'il est pas trop connu & que son concurrent juste a coté est tous le temps plein. Allez a celui ci leur bouillon est délicieux, & les pâtes sont faites a la main.
J'adore ce restaurant pour la qualité des plats, le prix & l'accueil. J'y suis allé trois fois & mon plat préféré demeure la soupe à l'agneau. Les nouilles maisons sont délicieuses & très nutritives. Je préfère y aller le midi.
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.
