Review Summary

Nouilles de Lan Zhou is a bustling Chinatown staple where fresh hand pulled noodles and rich, aromatic broths take center stage in a simple menu. Portions are large and prices fair, with many reviews highlighting beef Lanzhou and Dan Dan bowls, the option to choose noodle thickness, and spice levels, plus combos with cucumber salad and edamame. The experience is often marked by long lines outside and a cramped space inside, though watching the noodles being made and the downstairs grocery add to the appeal, and service is usually fast and efficient. Some visits mention inconsistency in flavor, especially with broth strength or noodle texture, and a few notes about variable service and lack of air conditioning or limited seating during peak times. Overall, it is widely regarded as a must try for noodle lovers in Montreal, delivering authentic handmade noodles, good value, and a memorable, energetic atmosphere despite the crowded space.

Probably the most popular restaurant of Montreal's Chinatown. Lan Zhou Noodles has been a staple of hand-pulled noodles for many years. I suggest ordering the original noodles with medium sized noodles. Beware the portions are very big (even a small is filling!). The line is very long, so I recommend coming in at odd-hours. P.s. you can even visit the grocery store downstairs!

This place is busy at dinner time. Get there early to line up. The noodle are freshly pulled right at the front of the store. You can pick the the thickness of the noodle from 1-7. & you can pick how spicy 🥵. I recommended less spicy for people that hasn't had very spicy food. Don't want to ruin the whole bowl of noodles. Hot sauce at the table if u want to add more. The soup is pretty authentic. Maybe a bit less flavorful than the one I had before but still very good. We also ordered the tea eggs, which was also good. Warning!! The large bowl is huge. Unless you are super hungry or sharing. Go medium.

My husband & I heard this was the best place to get hand pulled noodles in Montréal's Chinatown. We decided to wait in the long line outside. I'm so glad we did! The line moved pretty quickly & they seated us promptly. The place is small, but you don't feel like you're right on top of other diners. Service was fast, & while they turned the tables & seats over quickly, at no point did we feel rushed while eating. The noodles were delicious & were served in large, beautifully designed bowls.

We went on a Thursday around 6-6.30pm - there were already a couple of people before us & the line got even longer after we joined, but the wait wasn't too bad. The smell just standing outside was just delicious. You could see them making hand pulled noodles in the window. I got the spécial nouilles de boeuf Lanzhou with Kuan noodles (the second thickest noodle size - you can choose your noodle size), potato seaweed salad, & a tea egg. Everything came quickly & was really good! Service is efficient & no nonsense. There's also a supermarket inside on the floor below, which was something I'd never seen before & found really cool.

One of my favorite places in Montreal. Delicious noodle soups. You can watch them make the hand pulled noodles from outside. If you can, try the tendon soup on weekends. It can take a bit to get in, there's often a line, but it's worth it.
