Lanzhou Lamian, also known as Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodles, is a type of Chinese noodle dish that originated in Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu province in China. It is a popular street food in China and can be found in many Chinese restaurants around the world.
The process of making Lanzhou Lamian is an art form in itself. The dough is made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes eggs. The dough is then hand-pulled, stretched, and folded in a specific way to create the thin, chewy noodles. The noodles are then boiled and served in a clear soup broth, which is made from beef bones, spices, and herbs. Thinly sliced beef, green onions, and cilantro are often added as toppings.
Nouilles KungFu earns praise for fresh, handmade noodles made on site, flavorful broths, and generous portions at reasonable prices. The open kitchen and the option to customize noodles by thickness, along with fast, attentive service in a cozy, small setting, contribute to an authentic and welcoming dining experience. Noodles are repeatedly described as chewy and well prepared, with many noting that the broth remains rich without becoming greasy as it cools. Beef and Lanzhou style soups are standout favorites, and many reviewers say they would definitely return, even as a few mention occasional longer waits, a busy atmosphere, or rooms that can get quite hot. Overall the reviews converge on high quality, consistent flavors, and strong value, making Nouilles KungFu a go-to spot for hand pulled noodles on the south shore.
Food is good but we always pay for extra noodles & large size & usually its enough but the past 3 times we came, the portions of noodles in the bowl & the number of slices of beef have decreased. Wait time used to be 5-10 mins but lately it has become 30 to 45 minutes for your soup noodles to arrive, it has become pretty ridiculous :(
Food is always good & comforting, service fast & courteous. I can't find a better place for a bowl of noodle soup. They make their fresh noodles by themselves & you can see them behind the kitchen window. Don't expect to go on a calm date tho as it's a little noisy but it's perfect for quick delicious family dinner.

Amazing noodle soup, hand-made & fresh noodles. The quality of the ingredients is top notch, & the meat is melt in your mouth delicious. If you're craving a delicious bowl of spicy noodles soup, I implore you to try it, you will be blown away.
All hail the mighty gluten! Great little noodle joint. The noodles are made fresh & offer 7 types of thickness & cuts.
The fresh braids of wheat flour offer chewy noodles & the kitchen generously fill your bowl with carby delight & flavourful broths (a regular size is usually enough although a large is not impossible to finish). We love the triangle & thick noodles. The cooking of the thick noodles is not always consistent (sometimes overcooked) but they have the triangle noodle cooking down pack. Personally, the triangle ones offer the greatest slurpping experience as they gently glide into your mouth with maximum surface to soup/flavour ratio without splashing as much as the other noodles. Call it efficient SLURPaerodynamic. Extra points for the great lip & mouth feel because of the extra ridges in the triangle cut.
I suspect there is a good amount of MSG because I am quite thirsty after eating there but it does not stop me from going back.
The meat to noodle ratio is not the greatest for the traditional bowl (beef slices) but it is acceptable for the braise pork or the chicken coconut broth ones.
The eggs are very forgettable & we only take them for extra protein.
Side dishes:
spicy cucumber one is not that spicy at all & the cucumber is crunchy & gives a refreshing experience.
The edamame is great too & fun to eat. Good depth with the preserved greens in it.
The potatoe sliver salad is our favorite though. Not bad balance of soft & crunchy but could be crunchier. Good taste.
Seaweed: beware. It is very potent & a bit hard to eat (loooog strands). So it you do not like sea tasting stuff or hard to pick stuff, stay away.
The mini lamb skewers are great. Too many times, I find other restaurants overdo it with the cummin not here. It is very good. 1 basket is usually not enough (although they are decently generous). Could be a bit less overcooked but not dry in any sense of it. Really like it!
Prices are right, portions are very decent, parking is easy. If it open until late, it would be a great late night fix & would consider going even more often.
The perfect remedy on a cold day! Always have a great experience at this restaurant - my family & I will drive all the way to Brossard to eat there because their hand pulled noodles are that good! I recommend the homemade braised beef noodles. You can customize your noodles & also the ingredients in your bowl.
As a person who loves fresh noodles & dines out often, I found this place overpriced & the flavour is alright. I ordered braised pork noodles & there is really not much inside except some noodles. I found it overpriced to pay $20 for a bowl of noodles after tax & tips due to the amount & ingredients inside.
The food is without a doubt excellent. Good portions, amazing noodles & tasty broth. Unfortunately, we had to wait a very time to get our meal... over an hour. Our tables bowls were served all at different times which was strange. But I'd definitely go again at a less busier time!

Hands down one of the best pulled noodle spots in Montreal. I had the braised beef, extra spicy, & wide noodles & left nothing in the bowl. I even thought about going back for dinner the same day! The broth, noodles & chilli oil are the best. Try it, you will not be disappointed.
To be honest, the food is not bad. The only downside is the portion of the meat. I ordered a large bowl of noodles, the portion of meat was ridiculously small. I could count there were about 4 slides of extremely thin meat. Although the entire bowl of noodles would fill your stomach very well, I would expect a bit more meat. Furthermore, it looked like the A/C was not strong enough that I had been sweating like rain dropping from my head while I was eating. Because of that I didn't enjoy my food during the stay.
They had an special of a free potato salad if buying more than $30. Bought more than $30 but potato salad was not included. The quantity of sauce is much greater than the noodle bowl can handle. The noodle bowl needs to be bigger. Price is ok at $15.99 each dish. Taste is also ok.
Fabulous hand-pulled noodles available in many different thicknesses. We had a beef bowl & a porc sauce bowl. Both were generous & delicious. Service was friendly & quick, the decor is basic but clean.
We got the dandan noodles & the braised beef noodles. Delicious. We love hand pulled noodles & had been looking for a place in the south shore. This really hits the spot. No more driving all the way to Montreal Chinatown for handpulled noodles!
Also need to mention the really great value. With all restaurants just getting so expensive it was so refreshing ordering a huge bowl of noodles for only $13.
