Noodle Factory is described as a small, cozy, cash only spot in Montreal's Chinatown offering fresh, authentic noodles and dumplings at generous portions and affordable prices. Reviews consistently highlight tasty, well made dishes with standout options like General Tao chicken, Cantonese chow mein, and various noodle soups, along with notes of good value and satisfying, hearty servings. The service is repeatedly praised for being fast, attentive, and friendly, with staff described as polite, welcoming, and patient with families. The atmosphere is simple and unpretentious, not fancy, and the place is praised for clean kitchens and efficient turnover, though a few mentions point to a dated vibe. Complimentary or easily accessible extras such as water with every dish, and occasional condiments, are appreciated. Cash payment is a recurrent caveat, sometimes with ATM nearby, and some reviewers mention the need to come prepared with cash. Overall, Noodle Factory is seen as a reliable, beloved choice for quick, comforting meals and generous portions, a hidden gem by locals that delivers consistent quality and value despite its no frills setting.
One of the best places i ate. Big dish, super tasty, good price, excelent service, very clean, polite, attention to details. You get complementary soy sauce, spicy oil peper seeds & water with every dish.
For the people complaining about the 10% tip that would be about 3$ for 2 persons, just think how much would be the free water you get with your food would cost. There is a toilet available. Bring cash.

This place is nothing fancy to look at, that's not the point. But what you will get are incredible dumplings & noodles at great prices. Just make sure to have cash before you come here!
The waiter & all the staff was exceptional. Our waiter was especially witty... always cracking jokes & making us feel welcomed. He gave us great food recommendations (which wasn't hard seeing how it was all quite mouthwatering). The general teo chicken especially stood out to us. Everything was very reasonably priced & it was only cash, but personally I would have paid a LOT more for that tasty food.
!! Attention ne prends que en CASH !! + tips obligatoire sinon le serveur vous le rappel
Le lieu ne paye pas mine mais les serveurs sont très agréable & attentionnés. Les plats sont peu chers & vraiment excellent. Je recommence pour les nouilles & les raviolis à la vapeur.
This restaurant is close to the metro station Place d'Armes (100m). It excels in simplicity & has very tasty & affordable food. The menu is not very big, but there is enough variety to choose from. The food comes with complimentary water, & if you want something else you have the choice between a coke regular or a coke zero. Payment is cash only, but you can withdraw money from an ATM across the street inside the Holiday Inn hotel. The staff is very friendly & the food comes quickly. I would definitely go there again.
Great spot! Good prices, large rations, tasty food & fast service. It is worth waiting in the line. Went today for a second chance & it was better than the first. Remember, cash only. Blindingly recommend it
Very tasty food, & one of the more affordable spots in Chinatown! Lunch runs us about 30$ for two people & is always filling & delicious. It may not serve the BEST dumplings in the area, but we still find ourselves returning for the coziness, comfort food, & low price. Oh, & remember to bring cash!!!
Unassuming restaurant, classic hole-in-the-wall style, with fantastic house noodles! Ordered the #2 hot & sour soup, #12 soup dumplings, & #19 pork & spicy vegetables soup for a fantastic trip down Noodle Road! (cash only)
I'm not an expert on Chinese food, but this felt under seasoned & very westernised. The portions are huge, I would preferred more reasonable sized portions & better quality overall. The staff was attentive & nice. Important! They only accept cash
