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.
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.
I've been to KungFu Noodle before a few times & knew that on a cold day like today this would hit the spot! The place is located in a small neighborhood mall & has really easy parking access. It's clean, the tables are a tad on the small side but otherwise comfortable.
The star here is the hand-pulled noodles. You can choose from a variety of noodle dishes & select your preferred thickness, with a handy reference on one of the walls.
We were three & each ordered some braised beef soups. The broth is satisfying, flavourful. The beef is very tender & the noodles were just the right amount of tender but chewy.
Never got totally comfortable grabbing them with chopsticks but the effort is worth it. Part of the experience is the view of the person making the noodles fresh to order & the sound of the twist & snap can at times make you jump when you aren't expecting it but it's fun to watch. A lunch spot that never disappoints!

Best noodles I've had in years! The braised beef was sooooo delicious. Service was also impeccable! Very friendly! Will most definitely be coming back very soon!! 10/10!
The food was so good! We took the mini lamb skewers & the braised beef soup. The lamb was really well seasoned & well cooked. The soup was amazing, the beef was melting in my mouth & they were really generous with the amount of noodles in it. I took the wide noodles & they were well cooked & very good. There is chili oil in the soup even though it's not written in the menu. We went at 6:30pm on a Saturday & had no wait time for a table & were out of the restaurant within 1h, the service is quick! I'm happy I found this place & will definitely go back
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.
Wonderful fresh handmade noodles on the South Shore ! Went on a cool day, & the hot soup was greatly appreciated. We had the braised beef soup, & it came with a choice of noodles, ranging from thin to belt-width ! We had the wide & extr-la/wide noodles, & both were tender with a wonderful bouncy texture. Though small, it is definitely worth the visit

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.
Authentic Chinese noodles! Tastes exactly how they should be. The broth is very warming & delicious, & the freshly made noodles pairs perfectly well. We ordered the Braised beef (soup) & the Shanxi noodles with braised pork (dry). Both were excellent! We also had the spicy cucumber salad & seaweed salad. Both were delicious as well! We will definitely come back!
Good hand-pulled noodle restaurant. Since it was my first time there, I didn't have to order via the QR code. I was given a plastic card menu. The waitress was very patient & kind & helped us with the menu. I opted for the braised beef noodles which did not disappoint. You can choose the type of noodles you want so I took chive leaf. My friend had the Lanzhou beef noodles (triple fine noodles). Both noodle soups were great. As for appetizers, they didn't look too exciting. I tried the spicy cucumber which was OK. I recommend skipping the appetizers & just eating the noodles.

Ordered the braised beef pho soup. Just fantastic. The handmade noodles are the best I have ever ate & the broth is to die for 😍. Will definitely re-order.
First time & won't be the last time! I loved the braised beef noodle soup so much, my mouth was full of flavours & delicious texture. I think it's one of the best in south shore ngl. Staffs were also very helpful & friendly, will go back! Thank you 😊
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.
