Dans l'ensemble, les avis soulignent des nouilles faites à la main dans le style Lanzhou et des bouillons savoureux, des portions généreuses et des prix raisonnables, avec le spectacle de la fabrication des nouilles sous les yeux et une ambiance animée du quartier chinois; le lieu est souvent très fréquenté et l'espace est petit, ce qui peut rendre l'attente longue et l'assise inconfortable, et certains évoquent un service rapide mais parfois brusque ou une absence de clarté sur le pourboire, ce qui peut laisser une impression mitigée; malgré cela, les plats vedettes comme Dan Dan et les nouilles au boeuf sont largement appréciés et la cuisine est reconnue pour sa fraîcheur et son goût, ce qui incite souvent à revenir.
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.

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.
If you're a fan of fresh, hand-pulled noodles in a rich, aromatic broth, this Montreal spot is a must-try, nothing else quite compares. It's so popular that lines are common, but they move quickly & are absolutely worth the wait. My go-to order is the beef Lanzhou pulled #2 noodles paired with a flavourful cucumber salad. Solo diners take note: there's a dedicated counter section where you can usually snag a seat without waiting in line. Just walk passed the line (it's fine!). With its central location, fair prices, & great quality, this place ranks among Montréal's top eats imo.
Best noodles in Montréal. Huge portions & amazing flavours. The noodles are freshly made & you can even see the staff getting them prepared.
Bathrooms are always clean & the service is always fast.
I have tried many noodles in my life, never had anything so fresh, perfectly chewy with natural broth. Normally I always taste some kind of chemical in other places, I love this place. I wish they had a location in Toronto!
I wish we could give a higher rating. Especially since this is our second time back in Montreal ,
We were here last year from Boston, & we were in china town, we decided we would come back to try the fresh hand pulled noodles,
Today we stood in the line for 45 min, & were left feeling underwhelmed by the dishes & the choice.
Our table doesn't eat beef or pork, they don't have any chicken , so the veggie was the only option- the only real choice was the noodle thickness.
So this is just a lot of broth & a whole lot of noodles. Nothing by way of protein- with options such as tofu, seitan, fake meat, this just feels like such a let down.
& the veggies that were put were measly for the size of the bowl, 3 broccoli, 2 pieces of bok choi & few corn pieces.
The size is generous, but for water & noodles, I would say it is overcharged.
The broth, like others pointed out, is so mild & plain. It could be enjoyed if you like that but after enjoy hunan cuisine & Mala hot pot in Boston, we were lacking the flavors - there was only some chilli crisp & some vinegary sauce on the table. They wouldn't give us any soy sauce when we requested. They actually asked us to go down to the store (in their basement)to get the sauces we wanted.
I was amazed at that attitude.
I could have made the soup work with some flavoring, salt, some sauce, something. So that was a letdown.
We just sat there munching noodles & slurping on bland water the entire time.
For the wait time, lack of protein & for the flavor (or lack of it), it was a hard pass for us. Maybe the non-vegetarian folks have more luck at this place, I hope you guys do!
Because the noodles are fresh, & it needs a nice broth to shine in.
If you're coming to Boston, please try kungfu malatang in Brighton ! So many veggies & mushroom varieties- plus a fresh hunan chilly base makes for an amazing meal in the cold months.
Or any of the little q hot pot branches. They make an amazing pot of soup noodles

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.
The noodles here are delicious. I love watching the chef skillfully pull & shape the fresh noodles right in the kitchen & cook them directly. I chose a small combo size with noodles number 5, because it included 1 egg & 3 types of salad to choose from. It helped me eat just enough & not be too full. You can choose from non-spicy to very spicy from the waiter. The staff here are very enthusiastic in guiding you. The restaurant is located right in Chinatown, so it is very crowded & bustling. You will see a long line of people waiting for a seat. You should come earlier than lunch or dinner time to get a seat more easily.
The noodles are freshly made, the soup with beef was really good, they can definitely make the broth more flavorful, the portions are super big, & they are recommended 👌
Finding a great spot for dinner on a Monday in Montreal can be a challenge, but this restaurant proves to be a rare & welcome exception. A true hidden gem, especially for visitors, it offers a combination of fast, friendly service & consistently delicious food.
Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, & arrived quickly-a testament to the kitchen's efficiency without compromising quality. The standout dish? The dan dan noodles-perfectly balanced in flavor & texture. However, spice lovers take note: even if you request'very spicy,' the heat level remains relatively mild.
Overall, a fantastic find for a Monday night meal & well worth a visit any day of the week.
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.
Two of us went for lunch on a weekday & need to wait in a long line. When we were in the seat & ordered, noodles came pretty fast. They were freshly made, taste great & authentic but the noodles were a little undercooked. Seat space was very small & crowded.
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 fresh noodles & broth were excellent here! Ordered #1 combo & the egg for the combo was blah...I was expecting a soft goey inside & it was boiled, it was disappointing. The cucumber side dish on the other hand was delicious to pair with the noodles, so refreshing & seasoned well, so flavorful!
