Great spot! They are usually quite packed but that only tells you how good their dishes are.
Nico
A bit of wait since they are popular. Taste was good but the place is a bit cramped.
Friedrich
The broth needs to be improved. Also I ordered second thickness ??. The thickness of the noodles is like uneven. Some too thick some too thin, looks ridiculous in my bowl. The side dish is good.

You really shouldn't miss this, it's a great place. It's a good place, it's a good hotel, I've never seen anything like it. I loved it.

Lan Zhou is directly a part of-occupying the floor above Marché G&D, it is a Chinatown handmade noodle spot. But you would miss if you didn't see the lineup that is not there for the market. We were headed there as part of our Chinatown trek, & it stayed busy even for a late Sunday lunch. Quarters are tight-real estate is clearly at a premium-but you don't care because you're here for the big, beautiful bowls of noodle soup.
My daughter & I stopped in while making our way through the neighbourhood (watch for those other reviews soon). We shared one large bowl & only had a little each-she took the rest home for later in the day, or maybe even the week. Really good quality all around. The handmade noodles come in about eight sizes, from wide, flat ribbons almost as big as lasagna sheets down to skinny vermicelli.
Service is abrupt & quick-no small talk, just efficiency. & when I asked about tea, the reply was short & clear:'No tea.'

I have tried many noodles in my life, never had anything so fresh, perfectly chewy with natural broth. Normally I always taste some kind of chemical in other places, I love this place. I wish they had a location in Toronto!

Overhyped noodles. They tasted flavorless & undercooked. The broth wasn't anything special either. Staff was friendly. There was a long line & the place was packed. The interior could use a good deep clean, there's cobwebs hanging off of fixtures above people's plates & inch thick dust.

I've been wanting to try Lan Zhou Noodles for almost a year but the line was always insane 😩
Finally made it, & I'd give it a solid 7.5/10 ✨ or in Google 3.5
The broth is super flavorful, noodles are on point (you can even choose your type 🍜).
The menu's small but prices are fair.
Got the small bowl & honestly… couldn't have finished a bigger one 😅
The staff dont speak French so much & the chair is bad

Les nouilles proposées sont un peu épicée, même pour les recettes douces, mais ça valait le coup car elles sont excellentes ! Le service est agréable, je vous conseille de prévoir au moins 15min d'attente. Il est cependant possible de prendre à emporter si vous le souhaitez.

Belle découverte au coeur du quartier chinois de Montreal. Plats généreux & goûteux. Service rapide & simple. À teste
Justine
Best noodles in town. We have been coming here for years. There home made noodles & broth is to fall for.

Très bonne nouilles dommage qu'il faille réclamer les plats

Waited almost an hour for a table on a Sunday evening. While in line, I was irritated with a Chinese lady who walked past the long queue while telling her friend to behold the foolish foreigners & tourists who don't know any better.'Just shut up & mind your own business,' I thought.
It turns out she wasn't wrong.
The staff was very helpful & friendly, but the food was thoroughly underwhelming. The potato side dish flavored with seaweed salad was an unnecessary mash-up. It is extremely rare for our family of three to leave a dish untouched after only a couple of bites. The edamame was a much better choice.
The flagship Lanzhou beef noodles lacked flavor, & the beef was paper-thin. I am very puzzled as to why this place is rated so highly. In fact, I cannot recall eating at another beef noodle place that isn't noticeably better than this one.

Got #4 noodle … combo A…All you need is a small size more than enough per person. But make sure to get spicy. It was delicious.
Michael
Pretty good. Food portions were large & broth was not too salty. I wouldn't get the map xi noodles & they were too thin & hard to eat as they got soft & tangled up. Taste was great, & lots of noodles with the chili oil.

I wish we could give a higher rating. Especially since this is our second time back in Montreal ,
We were here last year from Boston, & we were in china town, we decided we would come back to try the fresh hand pulled noodles,
Today we stood in the line for 45 min, & were left feeling underwhelmed by the dishes & the choice.
Our table doesn't eat beef or pork, they don't have any chicken , so the veggie was the only option- the only real choice was the noodle thickness.
So this is just a lot of broth & a whole lot of noodles. Nothing by way of protein- with options such as tofu, seitan, fake meat, this just feels like such a let down.
& the veggies that were put were measly for the size of the bowl, 3 broccoli, 2 pieces of bok choi & few corn pieces.
The size is generous, but for water & noodles, I would say it is overcharged.
The broth, like others pointed out, is so mild & plain. It could be enjoyed if you like that but after enjoy hunan cuisine & Mala hot pot in Boston, we were lacking the flavors - there was only some chilli crisp & some vinegary sauce on the table. They wouldn't give us any soy sauce when we requested. They actually asked us to go down to the store (in their basement)to get the sauces we wanted.
I was amazed at that attitude.
I could have made the soup work with some flavoring, salt, some sauce, something. So that was a letdown.
We just sat there munching noodles & slurping on bland water the entire time.
For the wait time, lack of protein & for the flavor (or lack of it), it was a hard pass for us. Maybe the non-vegetarian folks have more luck at this place, I hope you guys do!
Because the noodles are fresh, & it needs a nice broth to shine in.
If you're coming to Boston, please try kungfu malatang in Brighton ! So many veggies & mushroom varieties- plus a fresh hunan chilly base makes for an amazing meal in the cold months.
Or any of the little q hot pot branches. They make an amazing pot of soup noodles
