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.
Petit restaurant très typique chinois & authentique ! L'ambiance est simple, pas de prise de tête, & c'est tout mignon. Les plats sont fait à la minute, pour les nouilles aussi, elles sont faites devant vous. La nourriture est vraiment délicieuse, elle a du goût je recommande très fortement ! La serveuse est adorable & remplie de gentillesse. Bref je recommande c'est juste incroyable !!
Food was good & we really enjoyed it but the cashier came out as rude when it was time to pay the cashier started asking for tips after we paid. It's quite embarrassing for customers coming there & then paying for expensive food & being forced to pay tips. Tips are customers choice not something mandatory. They should not be forcing people to tip them. There are plenty of other places if you wanna try ramen i would suggest you to go there. It wasn't a nice experience. I hope they work on their service. Would not come back here.

OMG!!! What was this place? If you like noodles, this place is a must. The noodles were super fresh, the broth is amazing & light, & the atmosphere is cozy & inviting. Gotta try this place if you are in Montreal!!
Two of us walked in for dinner. Not a lot of people & we were served very quickly. We ordered hand-made noodles. Food was very tasty! Recommend this place!
I had the spicy chicken soup with rice noodles. Just spicy enough, with delicious marinated fried tofu pieces & freshly made noodles. It's gonna be my favorite place. Plus, the waitress seemed to love her job, always smiling & giving a caring service.

I finished a very long shift on sunday that ended at 9pm & was severely craving some dumplings. Lotus Bleu was one of the only restaurants still open in the area so my coworker & I went here to eat a well deserved meal... When I tell you this is one of the best restaurants I've eaten at, I am not joking. I'm not very often impressed when I eat out so this is why I've decided to leave this review. A must eat at a more than reasonable price. My tired self was very happy to eat hand pulled noodles on that gloomy november evening.
My new favourite restaurant in Montreal, which means I will be going back a lot. Merci Isa pour la découverte !!!!! You were 100% right!! Henan stewed noodles ... Wowwwwwww. I had the one with spicy tofu, mushrooms & chicken & omfg is this the best soup I've had in my entire life. Every single bite was absolutely heavenly. The kitchen staff is impressive & kind, & the waitress was simply a gem ❤️ I will be back many times !!
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.
