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.
Popular amongst non-Chinese diners over the years. If you know how to make beef noodles at home or have travelled to China for the authentic Lanzhou beef noodle soup, you will be disappointed with the flavor vs price.
The noodles were good, I think it could use a bit more depth & spice. The portions are VERY generous, super worth the price. I got a medium thinking it would be a regular sized bowl, but this bowl was larger than my face & I had to take like half of it home with me. I would order a small if you eat a normal portion size & are not a big eater. Staff were a bit unfriendly but that's not really unexpected of a chinese restaurant.

Everything was just perfect. The warm ambiance & diverse menu were so impressive. Every dish was cooked to perfection. The staff were very attentive & provided great service. A special place that I'll be telling everyone about! It was world-class.
What a great experience in this little gem in Montreal. Awesome food, great vibes all around. If you want some great Chinese food while visiting go here!
A place like I like them ie a few choices with quick service. For me: Dan Dan with flat wide noodles. BING BANG, order, miamiam miamiamiamiam, pay, bye. & then you keep on thinking how good it was for the next hours. Repeat...
There was a line out the door & the reviews make the place seem top tier. The pasta is homemade & great quality but the overall flavor of the dish was lacking. Portion size is large but maybe 3oz of meat & a super overcooked egg.
We came here after seeing rave reviews online about the noodles. Did have to wait in line for a little bit on a Friday night to get seated. Immediately upon entry we saw the chefs working on the noodles behind the counters. The staff were rather busy & had a no-nonsense attitude, but we're from New York so we're used to this. The noodles were pretty good, but to be honest not the best we've had. I'd say it's worth a visit. But be careful about the portions... by'large', they really mean large.
