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.
Called in prior to getting take out. Pretty rude over the phone. They only take cash too. They weren't clear about it on the phone. Really good noodles. Nicely flavoured. Their online menu is not updated so there is a price increase there.y a
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.
Le point fort du restaurant est surtout le staff : très gentil & sympathique. J'avais essayé les nouilles avec porc & légume épicés (nouille maison). Un peu trop salé, mais quand même bon! Attention: PRENDS SEULEMENT CASH.
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.

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$
Maybe I didn't pick the "right" dish but man it was a huge deception. The noodles were over cooked, the "sauce" was only soy sauce, almost no meat in the dish. I ate it because I paid for it but if I would have received it for free, I would never have touched it. Won't come back.
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.
