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.
A little hole in the wall but they serve their food twice faster than any fast food joint. Tasty & fresh. You can also see that the kitchen is clean. You can't spend a long time here since it's tiny with a few tables. Their hot sauce is DELICIOUS
Amazing noodles. Perfect for fall. The restaurant is located a few steps away from the metro & Chinatown. The noodles were fresh & tasty & can't wait to visit again.
This place was great! Don't expect to be able to sit around & talk for a while after you eat, they have a lot of people waiting to get in for a bite to eat. But you'll get in & out quickly with a full tummy! Our server was busy & rushing around but he was hilarious & totally made the experience. I was also impressed with the way they handled a walk-in party of 11 people! I had the homemade noodles with pork & they were delicious, I especially enjoyed the amount of fresh vegetables.

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.
Best service Ive had in a while! The waiters were professionals. The price for the portions we got blew my mind. Food was so fresh & tasty & we received it all so quickly. Thank you
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!

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.
I would give this place 4.5 stars if it were an option. This is a great "hole in the wall" restaurant with fast service & very attentive wait staff. We were served what I'm assuming was cold tap water out of a bottle right away, which was nice to have as soon as we sat down. There was an option to buy canned sodas, but it is not on the menu. We ordered wonton soup, noodles with pork & fried pork dumplings. ALL of the food was EXCELLENT!! Fresh & delicious with just the right seasonings. Loved the chili oil that was brought to the table. Downside, if you don't know ahead of time is that this is CASH ONLY!! They do take US dollars. Also, this is not a place to go if you want to sit for hours & have cocktails with your friends/family. It is small & they move fast. I never felt rushed but it's just not a place that you're going to be hanging out for a long time. We didn't have to wait for a table but I can see how a line could easily back up.
