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.
I have tried their dan dan & beef stew noodles. They taste great. However, it just gets too much towards the end because there's a lot of oil in the sauce.
The space is tiny so waiting time is expected at lunch time.
Do yourself a favor & go here. You can see them making their noodles from scratch right as you walk in. This place was bustling but the service was still fast & attentive. I ordered the Combo #3 vegetarian noodle soup with black egg & edamame salad with the #4 size noodle. It was pure comfort in a bowl. There is also a speciality grocery shop downstairs that has a little bit of everything!
I took a large bowl of their specialty. The only difference with the smaller ones were the noodles' quantity, the topping was the same, so proportions were not really great.
The noodles themselves were excellent but it was very little seasoned, it really lacked flavor.
Staff ignore you when you walk in. Staff ignore you when you are ready to order. Seating feels cramped, dirty, dark. Food is mediocre; Broth is watered down & missing flavour, missing vegetables, missing meat. Which white tiktoker made this place popular 🤣
The place was packed with a huge line up on the street. Inside you will have to share table with someone else. A bit dust on the wall. But the quality of food is great. A good portion of beef there.

Delicious noodles. Absolutely loved the black egg that came in the Dan Dan Noodles. No AC so hot on a warm day. You pay at the front. The spicy cucumber salad was delicious as well. Recommend getting the combo. No wait on a Monday evening!

Un restaurant délicieux qui préparent ses nouilles à la minute, vous pourrez avoir la chance d'admirer le cuisiner les préparer derrière la vitrine. Un service ultra efficace & rapide, vous êtes servis en maximum 10 minutes. Mention spéciale à notre serveuse qui était génial & de très bon conseil.
Some of the best hand pulled noodles I have had. There was a line & waited maybe 25 minutes for lunch at 1pm on a Monday. Two of us shared the medium beef noodle soup combo with the edamame & tea egg. It was all amazing & plenty of food. It was a hot day & there is not air conditioning. It was hot inside. No frills service.
There was a long line at lunch, so naturally I joined to see what's the hype. The servers are quick to seat you. (They also ask you to leave when you've paid.) I was also here during the anime convention, so it was a popular area to have lunch.
I had a seat close to the back, so it was hard to find someone to get me more water or to pay the bill. I found out that you can just go to the cashier to pay. Servers spoke French, English, & Mandarin.
I just got the traditional hand-pulled Lan Zhou beef noodle soup. The small size is $13.99; large size is $17.99. It's a big difference. I personally didn't think the noodles were that great. The texture was eh. The flavor was not really there? The beef was ok.
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.
