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.
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
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

La meilleure soupe de Montréal, service toujours super accueillant. Portions géantes & délicieuses. Grande variété d'assiettes, mais il faut essayer sa spécialité de soupe à l'agneau.
My new favourite place for soup noodles. Fantastic handmade noodles & also not too expensive. They have dumplings too. You'll for sure find something you'll like
This place is great. Dumplings, broth, everything was really tasty. I had the chicken, mushroom, tofu soup, so flavourful. My only small note would be that I like my noodles a little more firm (al dente), but other than that it was amazing!
Best fried dumplings i've ever had (chicken & coriander). We also tried the Chicken & Mushroom soup & the Spicy Minced Pork soup. The sizes are very generous & the small is plenty for a full meal. Everything was super delicious. Service was excellent. Cheap & very cheerful!

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.
Service rapide, dumplings succulents & soupe tout autant. Nous avons commandé la soupe de porc haché & celle de boeuf braisé & les dumplings poulet & coriandre. La propriétaire était super sympathique & nous a expliqué le menu.Une belle découverte!

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 💜
Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce petit restaurant dans le quartier chinois. Nous avons été très satisfait des plats choisis (soupes & dumpling) mais surtout charmés par l'excellent service. On s'est assuré que nous soyons confortables avec nos 4 enfants en nous conseillant les plats les plus appropriés & en nous apportant de la vaisselle supplémentaire pour partager nos plats. Nous avons passé une très bon moment! 🙂
