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.
Why doesn't this place have a Michelin star yet!? - I have not eaten anything this good in a LOOONG time - Try the DanDan - the taste is rich, deep & complex, the price is perfect
I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup combo with the salty boiled egg & seaweed potatoes (it didn't taste like potatoes in a good sense) salad. Everything tasted absolutely amazing & I couldn't help drinking most of the soup, including the chilly oil. I almost regretted it after pooping oil a few times after. Almost.
Food is good but the moment i paid it was a real turned off when the guy cashier need to remind me to give them TIP. His reason if we didnt serve you then don't give .... So irritating & disappointing for a first visit
Such good noodles! I had size 6 traditional beef noodle soup, size small, no spice, takeaway. It tasted really good & although I wouldn't say there was zero spice, it was barely anything (which was what I wanted). The size small was very substantial & the noodles themselves were really really nice.

We saw the line down the block to get in & knew immediately we had to try this place. 100% worth the wait & hype. I got the veggie noodle soup with the wide noodles & my husband got the traditional beef noodle soup. We also got the edamame & cucumber salads. Yum yum yum. The broths were so flavorful & the handmade noodles were excellent. The salads which were a hearty portion, were a perfect compliment, with the edamame one being my favorite. Def get in line to come to this gem of a place. Super authentic & a must when in Montreal
My kids & I love this place, we come every time we visit Montréal from Vermont. Can be busy so we try to come on the early side. My 10 year old says "this place is bussin'!"
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.
I ve been dreaming to go this place since my last stay in Montreal, even the medium size is huge. You need skills to eat & not staining your suits. Broth & noodles 🍜 delicious
Amazing noodles, one of my favourite places to eat, everything is reasonably priced & the portions are huge, as real & authentic as you can get in terms of the many regional types of food from China. Just come ready to sit on really small chairs with no back, better chairs is all I'd do to improve this place.
The food is really good, only one vegetarian option. The vegetarian noodle soup is amazing because the boulion is really silky, creamy & the mushrooms inside is moist & with a lot of flavour. The cucumber salad is so crunchy & flavoury with nuts, oil & chilli. The only thing that the egg is not enough marinated. Thank you for fresh noodles 🙏
We were two for dine-in. The bill is 49.00 with tax. I paid 100 cash. Before giving change, the lady who did not serve us during the whole time asked me how many tips I wanted to leave, I was not familiar with such questions & I was speechless. Then she told me 15% minimum. That's ridiculous 😂😂😂😂 But I still gave 10% for food.
