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.
Cuisine correcte mais pas excellent. Excellent srrvice. On est un peu dans le corridor du centre d'achat. S'il n'y a pas de file, je conseille un autre resto de nouille.
Second time coming here & it's amazing. Love the handpulled noodles & the braised beef & pork is so tender! Even when I order the spicer soup it was too much for me & I told the hostess & she quickly brought me a bowl & helped me even herself remove some of the spice from the soup which was so kind! Highly recommend
By far the best Chinese food I've ever had. Delicious dishes & great atmosphere. Our server was superb & I hope to visit again someday. So blessed to have visited such a tasty spot.
Stumbled into this restaurant after a long day of walking & it was so much better than expected. The service was incredible! Cindy, our server, was very helpful & sweet. The food was amazing! The braised beef soup was so rich & delicious. The others in my group ordered the rice noodle soup with beef & the hanan noodles with beef & steamed veggies. The fried pork wontons & soup pork dumplings were super fresh & tasty :) & the best thing yet was the price! Everything was very affordable & worth the price. We will definitely be coming back here whenever we're in Montréal!!!! Thank you Le Lotus Bleu for the wonderful lunch!

This place hit the spot. Casual, delicious, straightforward. Very satisfied with portions & price. Between me, wife, & kiddo we shared a braised beef noodle soup, order of pork dumplings, & xiao long bao & left with happy stomachs & souls. Chili oil made in house was good with everything. Lady working the front of the house was so friendly; we were impressed listening her shift seamlessly between English, French, & Mandarin with the patrons who came in. Stayed at hotel across the street & were happy we chose this spot vs another further down the street.
The food is amazing! To my knowledge, all the food there is handmade & very authentic. Location is great & close to many attractions as well as being in the local Chinatown. I ate here many nights in a row while on vacation. I highly recommend Le Lotus Bleu!
The fried pork & chive dumplings here are amazing. The wait time was a little long but it was dinner rush as well as right beside the convention. Overall really good for the price
Really good experience. We went on a very hot day & as soon as we were seated the waitress made sure we had a fan directed at our table. The hand pulled noodles & dumplings were very good.
The lady that owns the place was really nice! We were here until closing & they served us diligently without rushing. The hand pulled noodles were great & flavorful, & so were the dumplings! Only downside is the restaurant was quite hot with no ac, & the washrooms are all the way on the 2nd floor of the mall, which was closed & kinda sketchy.

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 🩷🩷
I was wearing all white, the waitress told me to cover myself with napkins. I needed that tender kindness at that moment. The bathroom code upstairs is 3358
