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.
It was an enjoyable experience from the service to the orders we've made. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant. I've ordered Woncton Shrimp Soup, tasty. A plus is the parking they have in the building 1.5hrs/3$.
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.
Un des meilleurs bouillons en ville. La soupe à l'agneau avec nouilles larges est si réconfortante dans sa simplicité. Service doux & amical. Le poulet est aussi essentiel. Une perle cachée!

Tried this place randomly & what a surprise! Hubby & enjoyed our bowl of noodle soup & the kids LOVED the fried chicken & dumpling. I think they're a must have if you're not planning on eating noodles 👌🏼The chicken was so crispy & the filling of their dumpling(beef) just burst with so much flavor. We'll come back again for sure ☺️ Oh & the ladies we're all so kind & respectful too! Edit: forgot to praise their home made chilly oil. I never foubd THE one that I love & this place was it. You could tell just by smelling it that you'll love it🫶🏼🩵

Comida deliciosa, tenía mucho antojo de comer ramen pero por la hora en que elegimos ir ya no había muchas opciones por el barrio chino. Así que decidimos entrar aquí y todo estaba delicioso. Los dumplings de beef & green onions muy buenos al igual que la spicy minced pork noodle. Nos encantó. Las porciones son grandes así que puedes compartir. Pedimos la sopa pequena y sin problema comen dos personas.
We had the roast chicken. The flavour was amazing however we were expecting a full chicken as the menu said & to take plenty home. It was however a large portion of chicken parts & therefore not as much meat in the “full” chicken as I would have expected. I managed to eat it all on my own along with a noodle dish & I’m a small person with not the biggest appetite . When it came some of the bits were cold & some were hot. Not good in a chicken dish! It was rectified. Pork noodles were really good.
Quick & friendly service. Clean & comfortable. Good variety of noodle dishes without being confusing. Noodles & dumplings are excellent. Noodles have that perfect chew of a good hand pulled noodle. Fried dumplings are delicious, thin tender shell with generous filling.
Absolutely underrated authentic Northern Chinese noodles, the stuffs absolutely worth the price. If you want to try authentic Chinese noodles & Chinese roasted chicken, this is definitely the place to go! Le Lotus Bleu needs more love!
I’ve had hand pulled noodles in NYC & ATL, & this was the best I’ve had! I ordered the no. 6 noodles with the spicy minced pork broth. The noodles were perfect & the broth was really good!
They were so busy but the lady was super friendly & welcoming.
