Nouilles de Lan Zhou est un endroit extrêmement populaire où les files dehors et un espace intérieur restreint font partie de l ambiance ; malgré cela, l expérience vaut souvent l attente, notamment pour voir les nouilles être tirées à la main et pour déguster un bouillon savoureux et réconfortant. Les portions sont généreuses et le rapport qualité-prix est bon, avec un choix d épaisseurs de nouilles et la possibilité de sélectionner des types de bouillon, y compris des options végétariennes et du Dan Dan épicé. Le menu reste simple mais efficace, et les plats vedettes comme les nouilles au boeuf et le Dan Dan sont régulièrement salués pour leur fraîcheur et leur texture ; certains critiques trouvent le bouillon parfois un peu fade ou trop salé, d autres disent qu il est parfaitement épicé et aromatique. Le service est généralement rapide et efficace, mais peut sembler impersonnel ou débordé lors des heures d affluence ; l espace est souvent décrit comme petit et bruyant, et l absence d air conditionné est mentionnée par temps chaud. Enfin, le commerce comprend une épicerie en sous-sol qui ajoute au charme et confirme que Nouilles de Lan Zhou est une référence à Montréal pour des nouilles faites sur place et des bouillons riches.
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.
The food was excellent, huge portions. Nice to watch how the noodles were made at the feont of the house. Cucumber salad was spicy with nuts. I got a medium bowl & ate 1/4 of it. Very busy with 2 servers. Nowhere to stand while waiting & kept blocking wait staff. Cloths to wipe tables were left on a pile of menus & a few times dropped on the floor, then conveniently moved to abother location & not changed out. Didn't know we had to pay in the front & waited for our bill to arrive. We were told to get up because we had waited so long for the bill. Would i go again? Yes, but probably will not return to Montréal for a while.

Great place for hand pulled noodles. You can watch them go through the process at the front. The place was crazy busy when we showed up so get in line & be patient because it moves fast. Everything we had was good & you can order your preferred noodle size. Great place for a quick lunch.
The place is very busy, but worth the wait. Getting to see the noodles being made is pretty cool. The flavours are excellent, the broth is rich & comforting, & the spiciness in the other dishes is just right. Everything comes together nicely in each bowl. A great spot for Chinese noodles!
We were lucky to get a table for 5 people! Resto not busy. We ordered 4 vegie noodle soups & one beef noodle soup. Portion was very generous. We enjoyed all soups. Veggie Broth not as rich as meat Broth but this is why we liked it. Simple & yet still delicious. We love trying diffrent soups.
I've been to Nouilles de Lan Zhou a few times for lunch, & the food has been consistently delicious every visit.
The hand?pulled noodles are always fresh & springy, the broths are flavourful without being too heavy, & the portions are generous enough to feel satisfying. Even during busy lunch hours, the service is quick & efficient, & the dishes come out piping hot. For the quality you get, the prices are very reasonable, which makes it an easy place to return to whenever I'm in Chinatown. A dependable spot for a comforting, well?made bowl of noodles.
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.'

So I have passed by this place numerous times & finally had the chance to experience.
They have expanded the space which has reduced the line ups somewhat as they are still busy.
Tried the basic vegetable broth & vegetarian soup with thin noodles.
The broth was good but could have benefited from more umami flavour. It would have been beneficial to have some condiments on the table for those who may wish to add flavour or spice/heat. I won't go into examples as that's not the point as everyone has their own preferences.
The portion was significant as I ordered the medium size & shared with much left over. The fresh noodles were the absolute tree star of the dish & were near perfection.
Service is ok but the servers are busy running around to help everyone & as such, you're actually better off getting your own extra napkins or chip sticks etc. instead of waiting for a server. This does not seem to be the fault of the server as it's the fault of management understaffing the place.
An absolute must try.
The classics are the soup noodles & the Dan dan. I love the jajianmeon too.
It gets super busy but they renovated & have a bigger space now. Also new bathrooms which are very clean.
You can choose your noodle shape.
It's very delicious & I strongly recommend.
Very fair price - you will be full!!!
Always lineups but trust me, worth the wait. Or go early before opening or later at night.
Casual vibe.
This place always has a lineup for a reason, really had an awesome meal. The'large' size portion is 100% too much for 1 person, it can feed 2 to 3 people. Either share a large portion or get a small or medium. Also with the different types of noodles, the'thinner' ones are probably a better pick. The place gets a little less busy at around 4 pm ish.
We tried this popular place for the first time in Feb 2025.
It is very busy & you can see them making the noddles by hand as you wait for a table.
Their menu is simple. It's either beef or pork with different types of noodles.
The dan dan was like an oriental spaghetti with a little kick of spice. We also had the beef bowl with thick #4 noodles.
I found the broth to be very tasty & beef tender but I found the noodles to be a bit chewy... i may try a different option next time.
All in all for the price it was a good lunch & the staff was polite & fast. I gave it 4 stars because I wasn't wowed by the meal I had but it was good.
This is a super busy place. The noodles are fresh. The broth is a little bit generic & misses flavours. For a quick eat & run on a cold day, it is a good choice.

The place was busy, you can see the staff making the noodles. Service was fast. The beef broth was delicious but needs a bit more richness. Every order we got was really good & serving size was huge. Our only comment would be the spiciness, it was not as spicy as we expected, it lacks szechuan. Especially with the dan dan noodles.
You know the unspoken golden rule when it comes to restaurants. If people are waiting in line, food will most probably be worth it. *Went again mid August 2025* & it was totally worth it , solid 5 in terms of taste I took the number 2. Please be ready to wait as : 1) waiting line. 2) small place. 3) they are busy. Very busy. Immensely satisfied. I had my chili oil on the side. Strongly recommend the hand pulled noodles. ( This is not a fancy sit down with lots of cushioned chairs & large tables, this is a small intimate place which delivers warm & comfort food for the soul)
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.
