Le Lotus Bleu

Fell in love with the Le Lotus Bleu during our summer 2023 visit & we've been meaning to go back! They've made several changes in the past few years, including bringing the noodle chefs to the front & staying open on Tuesdays. The hand pulled noodles here are so good. My partner & I got the small bowls (braised beef & lamb noodle soups), but the portions are HUGE. Highly recommend going for noodle style 6 (thickest, more chewy) or 4. We also got the pork & cabbage dumplings, which are super juicy. This meal was very filling; we could've done without the dumplings, but they're too good to pass up. Service was ok since only one person was handling most FOH procedures. Atmosphere was also fine. It was just really warm, even with the multiple fans running (open doors, no AC), but it was to be expected with the pots of noodles cooking in the front. Since everything is so tasty & affordable, we'll try to make a stop every time we visit :)

BRAISED BEEF SOUP NOODLE (S) - $13.99 CAD
LAMB SOUP NOODLE (S) - $14.99 CAD
PORK & CABBAGE DUMPLINGS (15) - $11.99 CAD

We loved everything we ordered except for the xiaolong bao which had no soup inside. Highly recommend the minced pork noodles, very nice flavor. & yes other reviews about no AC is correct.the service was friendly & fast. The lady made fresh noodles in the kitchen was kind to give us a show of noodle making ❤?

This was our favorite restaurant of our 5 days spent in Montreal. We had the beef hand-pulled noodle soup, pork dumplings, & jasmine tea. Everything was delicious, highly recommended. Decor & ambiance were also good, & staff were helpful navigating the menu. Initially it was pretty quiet crowd-wise, but around 12:30 all the tables filled up.

Les nouilles épaisses tirées à la main sont un incontournable, avec en prime le spectacle du chef qui les prépare en direct ! Les intestins de porc & les anneaux de poulpe étaient également délicieux. Petit bémol cependant sur les plats traditionnels de Lanzhou : l'agneau, la soupe & les oeufs au thé manquaient un peu de saveur. Cela vaut quand même le détour pour les nouilles & l'ambiance!

Must-try hand-pulled thick noodles & a cool'live show' experience watching the noodle chef at work! The pork intestines & octopus were delicious. On the downside, the traditional Lanzhou items (lamb, soup, & tea eggs) were a bit bland. Definitely worth a visit for the noodles & the vibe, though!

Their noodle soup is delicious. I got the spicy minced pork one with the thicker noodles. I considered going two days in a row because I couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed their food! Service was great too - fast & incredibly friendly.

The only draw back is that there is a lot not available on their menu (many items were crossed out) & the atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired.

Ill definitely go back next time I am in Montreal again.

I recommend. Most excellent dinning experience, very reminiscent of my dining experience in Hong Kong. I got the spicy minced pork & hand pulled noodles they were most outstanding.

Such a reasonable price. My wife had the spicy chicken & mushroom. I was so full or I would have attacked hers as well.
