Nouilles de Lan Zhou se spécialise dans l art traditionnel des nouilles de blé étirées à la main et préparées à la demande. Le processus débute par des techniciens qualifiés qui étirent la pâte en différentes épaisseurs, allant du vermicelle fin aux larges rubans, constituant la base de chaque bol. Ces nouilles sont plongées dans un bouillon de bœuf limpide mijoté lentement avec des épices aromatiques, agrémenté de tendres tranches de viande braisée. Des garnitures comme la coriandre fraîche, les oignons verts et l huile de piment maison apportent un contraste vif à la base savoureuse. Les clients observent la préparation rythmique de la pâte depuis un espace de cuisine ouvert qui souligne la transparence et la technique culinaire. Le menu se concentre exclusivement sur ces préparations de soupes authentiques, garantissant une attention constante à la texture et à la profondeur des saveurs.
Nouilles de Lan Zhou est une destination prisée du quartier chinois de Montréal, réputée pour ses nouilles authentiques étirées à la main, dont l'épaisseur est personnalisable. Bien que le restaurant soit fréquemment achalandé avec des files d'attente à l'extérieur, le service demeure généralement rapide et efficace, en accord avec l'atmosphère dynamique des lieux. Les portions sont constamment décrites comme très généreuses, offrant un excellent rapport qualité-prix, et de nombreux clients apprécient de pouvoir observer les chefs préparer les nouilles. Bien que les avis sur la saveur du bouillon et sur l'expérience de service varient d'un visiteur à l'autre, l'endroit demeure une adresse incontournable pour savourer un bol de soupe copieux dans un cadre sans prétention.
Excellent hand-pulled noodles with a great chew. Got the #4 noodles in beef soup & my coworker got the dandan noodles & we really enjoyed it. The medium soup was absolutely massive but it was so tasty I finished every drop!
They are super popular with tourists, there is always a queue but it goes fast. The food is worth it & it the quality & fair prices have maintained their standards even after being such a popular spot for so long. This is very admirable in an age of everyone squeezing products as much as possible. My go to place for noodles. Really recommend the Dan Dan or the braised beef with thick noodles!
I ordered one bowl of beef ramen combo for $22. The medium-thick noodles were actually very thick. I added a cucumber side combo, & the portion of cucumber was small, & it tasted worse than eating plain raw cucumber.
There was basically no service. When paying, the first suggested tip option was 18%. After tip, the total came to $28. Definitely not worth it.
Classic spot in Montreal. Love the noodles.
The vegetarian soup is okay, I only wished they'd add some sort of protein to it, such as tofu. Service is very fast. The beef soup is exactly what it's expected to be.
Great texture, disappointing flavor. The fresh, hand-pulled noodles are the highlight here, & I love that you can choose your own thickness. Unfortunately, the Combo 1 beef noodle soup lacked flavor & spices. The broth was too bland for my taste. Worth a visit for the noodle quality alone, but I'd recommend trying their dry/saucy dishes instead of the soups if you want a punch of flavor.
Perhaps it was because of the opening of a new store that the experienced staff were transferred away. This time, the experience of the family of four having noodles was very bad. The noodles were not evenly pulled, & the cold mixed beef they ordered was all connected together. Should the knives be sharpened? As for the service, it was truly beyond description... The time we went there was indeed crowded. After waiting outside for a long time, a staff member who seemed very experienced came out & looked around, asking: Are there four people? I immediately raised my hand to indicate that we were four people. Then I called my husband & children over to join us. At that time, they were watching the chef make the noodles. However, this arrogant staff member then said arrogantly: Just asking, are you not allowed to go in immediately? Then we continued to wait in order for another 20 minutes, until it was our table's turn to have the meal. This arrogant staff member was truly beyond understanding. Since there was no available table for four people that could allow you to go in immediately, why did she come out & ask? Was it just for fun? To be honest, this was not fun at all. Before this, a friend of mine was very angry because she was forced to pay more tips when paying. She swore that she would never go to this restaurant again. Well, I also want to say that this is the last time I'll have noodles from this restaurant.
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.
We had an enjoyable lunch at Nouilles de Lanzhou, a restaurant specializing in authentic Lanzhou-style hand-pulled noodles in Montreal's Chinatown. This restaurant specializes in traditional Chinese hand-pulled noodles & braised beef noodle soup. The noodles are traditionally made fresh for each order. Visitors can watch the noodle-making process through the window.
The menu features a variety of affordable options like signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, Braised Beef Tendon Noodles, Dan Dan Noodles & side dishes such as Spicy Cucumber Salad, Edamame & Seaweed Potato Salad are also available. We ordered the Traditional LanZhou Hand-pull Beef Noodle & Zha Jiang Noodle with Homemade Pork Sauce. Both noodles tasted delicious & flavourful. They noodles tasted fresh with a chewy texture & the broth was light & savoury.
Amazing noodles & flavor. I had the beef brisket soup, sort of like a Chinese Pho. The noodles are customizable & hand made & the flavor there really shows. Overall flavor is fairly simple but tasty. There are not a lot of options overall, essentially just noodles/soup. Atmosphere is good overall as well, not a bad spot for a date or meetup, though not so great for larger groups. Place is busy & packed but for good reason.
