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.
Been going here for around 14 years, food portions & quality to price ratios are the best! Every item on the menu is flavorful & satisfying (especially on a rainy day), in addition to the the always friendly service despite how swamped with orders/people they are. This is a great place for a delicious meal!!

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.
Pretty busy Atmosphere is ok Food was bit oily & lot of turmeric in it But we did like the taste so ok ..! Liked there shrimp dumplings Service is good & quick
I had the most delicious vegetarian dumplings that were reasonably priced. I didn't realize it was cash only so at the end of my meal, the host told me there was an ATM machine around the corner. I went & got cash & came back to pay. the next time I'm visiting in town. I will definitely come back.

Though the building is cramped with limited seating, food is worth it. The prices are relatively cheap & portion sizes are generous! No matter what you get, each dish if packed with flavour, & you can't go wrong with anything they offer, as they have a good variety to fit many taste prefrences, perfect for picky & adventurous eaters alike. Staff is very minimal when it comes to serving you, & it's important to note they operate on a cash based system
I stopped in here on a recent trip & was delighted to realize that I had been there previously, seven years before. I remembered how delicious the food was but forgot that they only take CASH. It's absolutely worth it to eat here but be sure to get cash first! There is an ATM at the Holiday Inn across Rue Saint-Urbain, though with fees (it works in a pinch). Plan ahead & enjoy your meal!
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.
