Overall, reviews praise Nouilles de Lan Zhou for fresh hand pulled noodles and flavorful broths, the show of noodles being made at the front, and generous portions at a fair price, with many finding the line moving quickly and the atmosphere lively in Chinatown; some diners report rude or pushy service and a tipping expectation, occasional miscommunications about the bill, and a few dishes that lack vegetables or spice, but the noodles and broths are consistently described as delicious and comforting, making it a reliable go to for noodle lovers, especially for Dan Dan and beef Lanzhou noodles.
The service is so so even when it's not busy. The most important thing of Langzhou noodle soup is disappointing, it does NOT even taste like beef soup.The radish makes it even worse. The noodle itself is Ok, but nothing special besides its chewy due to its undercooked . & the bowl they serve me for noodle soup had a huge notch on the edge, lol. I won't go there again.

J'adore ce restaurant dans le coeur du quartier chinois. Je conseille les nouilles DanDan qui sont très bonnes. Vous pouvez choisir la taille de vos nouilles & elles sont faites devant vous. Le restaurant se trouve au dessus d'un supermarché qui vaut également le détour pour être dépaysé. Il faut prévoir un peu de temps le midi car il y a parfois du monde. Bref j'aime manger ici.
The soup is great unbeatable. Service was much better a few years ago when I discovered it & there were no Reviews on the web. Now, they are very famous thanks to posts like mine, but now you have to wait 20 to 60 min to have a table & the service has become "blazé", slightly indifferent. Oh yeh, the prices have increased 50%.
I've heard about this place from the internet & try to visit it. It was really good. The noodle is handmade & you can choose the type of the noodle you like. The broth is also good & the portion is big. I ordered the traditional beef noodle soup big size & it was bigger than I expected. Their chili is not as hot as I expected & their beef is chewy & tender. The place is a little bit small, but there's a lineup when I visited it. Be prepare to get in a lineup especially on the weekend at dinner hour. The lineup is worth for the food itself.

The food is fresh & good Waiting is long, terrible service, hygiene is average Impossible to sit in in the summer because if the heat, no air conditioning Not recommend at all
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!

My family & I had to wait in a line with people lining out the store. The line was quick, & the server was very fast & efficient. Food was absolutely INCREDIBLE with handmade noodles & a silky broth, melt in your mouth meat, & a spicy option to really crank up the heat. It's served in gigantic portion sizes, so make sure to only order the medium or small if you aren't starving.
A seemingly landmark restaurant here in Montreal, Lan Zhou was a great stop while I was here in the city. Chinese food is quite expensive where I am from so I was really eager to give this place a try as it has some of the best reviews in the city. We were seated almost immediately upon arrival. I noticed that the menu was quite limited as well, not very many options but the few available were so mouth watering. I didn't know what to order but eventually ordered a combo #4 which came with a choice of salad, a hard boiled egg & the order of noodles with beef. Even though it was a bit dry, I enjoyed the meal a lot. A good enough portion with a slew of different ingredients mixed into the bowl made it very flavorful & filling. I was most satisfied with my purchase & our choice to eat here.
