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.
What everyone says about the bad service is 100% true. They are rude & they do it on purpose. The waiters do everything they can to rush you because they only have like 8 tables in the restaurant & they want you to eat & leave ASAP so they can have more customers sit. Its very obvious what they're doing but its also very disrespectful & unacceptable. You can't open a restaurant & expect people order & leave that quickly. McDonalds treats its customers better than that!
Insane noodles, good portions.
Got the classic Stir Fried Rice Noodle with beef (#29), also tasted the Singapour Noodles with shrimp (#30) which is my favorite!
Service super quick. Atmosphere did feel like we had to eat quick & go, but over all really good experience
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.
Did a take out order during a weekend stay in Montreal. Service was quick & friendly. Order my standard Cantonese Chow Mein & it was quite good. The price was very reasonable. Small little spot with 5-6 tables. I can see going here next time in Montreal. Nothing fancy but just good simple food made to order & served up fairly quickly. Thanks
Great location with amazing staff. The restaurant is cozy & clean. The service is super quick. Food is good too. I'd love to try the noodles next time.
One of the best meals we have had, food was delicious service quick, price is super cheap, if in montreal it is a must, so good we went back two days in a row when we were at our conference , no pics as the food was eaten so quick, dont be scared if a line it goes quick as service is that good
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.
Worth waiting in line for. The service was quick & the two servers were amazingly on the ball given how packed it was. It's nothing fancy inside, but the food was outstanding. The vegetable dumplings were better than any I've ever had. The dough was somehow almost sweet & the filling was so much more flavourful than at other places. The shrimp har gow was just right & the pork wontons delicious. The Shanghai noodles were good, not mind-blowing, but to be fair, we were pretty stuffed by the time we got to them.

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.
Just a word of advice, CASH ONLY PLACE. Great little place. Very prompt & quick service. Looks like some very nice & friendly people running the place. Very affordable & delicious food. For sure will come back.
Great spot for quick service sit down. The food was delicious & service was prompt. A small location therefore, the turnaround time to eat & get up is quick. Be aware , it’s only cash- no credit cards
