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.
Great staff & wonderful atmosphere. The best Hot & Sour soup, exceptional food. We also had spring rolls. Our favorite Chinese restaurant in Montreal ❤?💐👏. Special thanks to Andrew & Gary & all the staff in the kitchen 🌹❤?😇👌

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
They serve good Chinese dishes. I ordered soup dumplings (pork), chicken fried rice, & noodles with spicy pork. All the dishes were delicious. Their food is not high-end (which is what you'd expect, right?) but it's affordable & delicious-classic American Chinese food. This spot is recommended for hungry tourists who want to try Chinese cuisine."
Small restaurant with limited seatings so make sure to arrive as soon as they open. Super welcoming staff & food came fast & fresh (noodle & dumplings are my favorites). I've been going here for years & can say that they have cut down on the portion like many other restaurants but it is still super affordable. I usually pay almost double elsewhere for the same amount of food. I strongly suggest to give it a try if you're craving for fast chinese food without breaking your bank.
Excellent food, fresh ingredients, exceptional, friendly service. If you want authentic Chinese food cooked with top notch skill & passion, go here. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing Chinese food for the money. The food is made fast with great service. Lots of dishes can be made plant based. You can add tofu to any dish. This is must try to everyone who visits Montreal & enjoys noodles! This a cash only place, so remember to bring cash.
Best place in Montreal for fresh handmade noodles. Typical chinese restaurant. Quick service for an eat & go, staff is friendly. On my list of regular restaurants I go.
Straight up best Chinese I've had in years. Small spot no frills great staff. The house special friend rice & the the dumplings were so good the spicy oil is on point. Will be back. So good I didn't take pictures.
Excellent food & the portions are big & not pricey. The service was amazing, the staff is very lovely. I recommend to anyone who wants good Chinese food.

This Cash-Only micro restaurant is the best economical Chinese food place in Montreal. We had hearty Singapore Noodles, fried rice & dumplings & spent less than 50$
Stunned how this place has a high rating. Boring, lazily executed food. Cold sauces slopped on barely warmed up ingredients. Worst Chinese food I remember having. I didn't even want to take home my leftovers.
One of my favourite dives in Montreal, & my favourite Chinese joint by far. The general tao is the best in town. Service is fast, & the staff will put a grin on your face.
