Ok hand-pulled noodles spot, soup was rather bland, chilli sauce tasted similar to what you can get out of a can, seaweed potato salad was actually more memorable than the noodles however.
Good portion size for what you pay for, but otherwise skippable compared to other places in chinatownView more

Updated: Prices has obviously done up but still a place to dine.
We stumbled upon this joint. Located on top of a grocery, it's a very small spot with limited seating; worth the wait. The beef soup was flavourful, spicy, but not too salty. We ordered the cold beef with chilli sauce for appetizer; which was surprisingly really good. Cost for both items was less than $20, we will definitely come back.View more

Came here when I first got into Montreal since I was craving some noodle soup - this place certainly delivered! I ordered the spicy noodle soup, which I think was great on all fronts: noodles, broth, & beef were all excellent. While the shop is quite small, service is quite fast so you really aren't waiting around for long at all. If you're looking for a quick, no frills lunch/dinner in Chinatown, this is the place to do it.View more

La soupe est bonne & salade de concombre aussi. Le service très mauvais & le restaurant aurait besoin d'être mieux nettoyé.View more

I'm thinking about going again now that I am writing the review. Food is'calm' & hearty. We've ordered the medium sized vegetarian noodle soup, the size is HUGE, enough for two people, the noodles are chewy & delicious. For a very long time, gluten in a dish did not upset me I don't know why, my stomach was happy for the rest of the day too! Once you try it, you feel a pat on your back, like everything is going to be okay, flavor is just enough, I wouldn't recommend this dish for people who want a spiced up dish with mixed flavors though.

Dîner en semaine.
Une institution montréalaise!
Attente à l'extérieur, mais bien gérée & service très rapide en salle. Nouilles faites à la main, au fur & à mesure avec choix de 7 tailles, bouillon exquis, garniture variée & savoureuse.
J'ai goûté la soupe végétarienne, très parfumée, modérément épicée.
Attention, les portions sont très généreuses. La taille'L' est pour les très gros appétits !View more

Nouilles L'an Zhou est un restaurant à pars...
Petit resto (très petit) qui se situe dans une entrée d'une épicerie (oui oui) avec de petites tables dans un petit espace. MAIS HOLY SHIT C'EST BON
Attention tout le monde c'est des portions à prendre 15 lbs de bedon. N'ayez pas peur de prendre le petit bol, c'est en masse. Vous pouvez décider des grosseurs de nouilles ( prenez entre 2 ou 3 sinon bonne chance pour finir) & choisissez votre soupe ou sauté qui vous plaira. Aussi quand ils disent que le repas est piquant IL L'EST!
Vraiment un menu simple qui est parfaitement efficace, un service simple, mais la fil d'attente est très très très longue dans les moments forts.
À manger sur place pour vivre le petit moment avec ta soupe, mais pas recommandé en gros groupe. Max 3 pour avoir une place facilement.
Pour emporter ok, mais grouille toi de manger, les nouilles son ultra fraîche, donc absorbe le bouillon vite donc deviennent pas trop bon.
Donc oui je recommandeView more

The noodle soup was quite salty & meat is thin. It was disappointing that some of the noodles was still undercooked.View more

An absolute must try.
The classics are the soup noodles & the Dan dan. I love the jajianmeon too.
It gets super busy but they renovated & have a bigger space now. Also new bathrooms which are very clean.
You can choose your noodle shape.
It's very delicious & I strongly recommend.
Very fair price - you will be full!!!
Always lineups but trust me, worth the wait. Or go early before opening or later at night.
Casual vibe.View more

This place is a gem! They only have a few options, but could completely satisfy your needs! We ordered beef noodle soup, Dan Dan noodle, & portions were big! They were packed by the time we left, but it was worth the wait.View more

Pas très confortable les bancs & pas de poulet ni de porc sur le menu... Par contre les nouilles au boeuf sont délicieuse & les nouilles sont fait sur place. Plusieur employé parle pas français nôtre serveuse oui!! J'ai pris la soupe large c'est bon pour 2 c'est vraiment gros😀 Pour le prix c'est bien mais pas beaucoup de choix pas de rouleau non plus...View more

Meilleur soupe WAW. Le Small est comme la Medium
Le Médium comme Large
Large comme Jumbo!! Trop mais trop bon!!!!! Dans les combos il ya des options d'entrée & celle que j'ai aimé est celle de concombre épicé! La soupe est chaude puis en grignotant le concombres ça donne une sensation de fraîcheur à la bouche!!View more

The noodles are freshly made, the soup with beef was really good, they can definitely make the broth more flavorful, the portions are super big, & they are recommended 👌View more

Well, I'm writing to say the reviews are, in fact, real. This is a great spot for soup & noodles. It says it all in the name. I had a great lunch here this past week, & I'd certainly recommend it to anyone looking for great food at a good value. The portion size was insane. But the meat was quite fatty; if you're into that, then order double meat, I guess. I don't love it super fatty, but the broth & the noodles were amazing. Also, the staff was super nice & the food came quickly. Just to note, they serve no alcohol there & they have a neat grocery store down the stairs in the restaurant.View more

J'ai adoré ma première expérience &, la seule raison pour laquelle je n'ai pas mis 5 c'est qu'on ne m'a pas avisée que si je prenais le reste de ma soupe pour apportez on me chargerait 1$ pour le contenant. Je l'ai vu arrivée à la maison. Sinon, tout était parfait pour moi.View more

Très bel endroit! Soupe très bonne. Tu peux aussi décider du niveau de piquant. Arrivé un samedi à midi & l'attente n'a pas été trop longue (~15 minutes). Bonne quantité pour le prix.View more

Tasty, heart warming soup with noodles. Highly recommend to reach there early before the place gets crowded at lunch & dinner times - wait time can be long (not fun during winters!) The broth always has the right level of spice & flavour ! After multiple visits there - each time I've walked out satisfied & wanting to go back again soon!View more
Fernando
The scent of hot & sweet spices when you walk by, that's the spicy beef noodle soup. The medium size is already huge, as you can see in the picture. Stop reading this & go grab some!!!View more
Andrea
Service is okay. They dont do more than take your order & bring you the food. That's it. But THE FOOD!! My god! SO AMAZING. There's usually a long line to enter...trust me, it's totally worth it. My partner & I go at least once a week. We each get a large bowl (it is pretty big) with #4 noodles. Amazing noodles❤️ I also get the chinese herbal tea, goes great with the soupView more

If you're in the mood for a fun dining experience with tasty food, you absolutely need to check out Nouilles de Lan Zhou! One of the coolest things about this noodle shop is watching the chefs craft fresh noodles right in front of you-it's such a mesmerizing sight! The noodles are chewy, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. The menu is packed with a great variety, so there's definitely something for everyone to enjoy. Honestly, I've had the best hand-pulled noodles here! You can pick the size of your dish, whether you want small or large, the thickness of the noodles, & even how spicy you'd like the soup. The meat is super tender, & the rich beef broth is just mouthwatering! Plus, the portions are huge & the prices are really reasonable. The service is top-notch as well! You're in for a treat!View more

Soup broth was rich & deep. Full of flavor. Not much space in regards to elbow room. But would go there again.View more

the beef tendon soup & the dan dan noodles were tasty. we expected more of tendon in the beef'tendon' soup (there were only 2 pieces) but overall the amount of meat provided was well worth the money. the broth was excellent & did not taste like they just poured MSG in it (like some chinese restaurants you can just die of thirst after a few sips of soup). the spice was just right. the service was quick & the waiter was friendly but it would have been nice to get some refills of water..& they did not come around to do that; defintely get there early (we did dinner at 5pm before lines were long). our leftovers lasted us another 2 meals - this place is a good bang for your buckView more

There will be long line of waiting but you can get the seat soon. the taste of beef soup is fairly good to enjoy & texture of slice beef is so tender. The spice level is medium as Korean.View more

C'est la deuxième fois que je vais manger la, la première fois c'était en plein hiver & la disposition des lieux font en sorte qu'on mangeait avec le manteau d'hiver à cause de la porte béante qui laissait le froid pénétrer à l'intérieur du restaurant. Cette fois-ci ils ont agrandi la partie Sud qui offre quelques places de plus. Évidemment il fallait attendre en ligne a l'extérieur (10-15 minutes) tellement l'endroit est connu. Une fois à l'intérieur la commande est passé rapidement. Le manque d'air climatisé & les bancs non rembourrés c'est ce que j'ai remarqué. Pour les commandes c'est assez simple, il s'agit de choisir le genre de soupe & le choix de grosseur de nouilles, les à côté si on a envie. Lorsque les plats arrivent je remarque que le bouillon est ultra chaud 🥵, j'aime ça. Pour rehausser un peu la soupe j'aurais aimé avoir plus de fines herbes & un oeuf sans payer un supplément. Le chili sauce & le manque d'air frais nous font suer abondamment, on se croirait dans un sauna!!! Heureusement que nous étions pas obligés de terminer la soupe & que l'on peut ramener les restant à la maison. WoW que j'ai bien mangé mais j'avais hâte de sortir pour avoir un peu d'air. Très satisfait dans les circonstances, très difficile de trouver un stationnement si l'on vient en auto, prévoir attendre en ligne avant de manger, ne pas porter de vêtements de couleur claires ou cher ( les éclaboussures de bouillon avec la sauce piquante, taches les vêtements) This is the second time I've eaten there, the first time it was in the middle of winter & the layout of the place means that we ate with our winter coats on because of the gaping door that let the cold inside the restaurant. This time they have enlarged the South part which offers a few more seats. Obviously we had to wait in line outside (10-15 minutes) because the place is so well-known. Once inside the order was placed quickly. The lack of air conditioning & the unpadded benches are what I noticed. For orders it's quite simple, you have to choose the type of soup & the choice of noodle size, the sides if you want. When the dishes arrive I notice that the broth is ultra hot 🥵, I like that. To enhance the soup a little I would have liked to have more herbs & an egg without paying extra. The chili sauce & the lack of fresh air make us sweat profusely, it feels like we're in a sauna!!! Fortunately we didn't have to finish the soup & we can take the leftovers home. Wow, I ate well but I couldn't wait to go out to get some air. Very satisfied under the circumstances, very difficult to find parking if you come by car, plan to wait in line before eating, do not wear light-colored or expensive clothing (the splashes of broth with the hot sauce stain your clothes)View more

The texture of noodles was good, but the soup was quite plain. The restaurant was small & crowded, had to put the coat on my laps while eating. The waitress's poker face made me don't wanna go again.View more

Very tasty soup. I really advise you to try small portion first, because the medium was already too big (on the photo). However, you can always ask for a box to give the rest away. We waited in a queue for just 10 minutes, maybe. It was a bit overcrowded, because the place is quite popular.View more
