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.
Ça y est, je suis complètement accroc. Je ne pense qu'à cette soupe quand je me réveille & quand je me couche. Je pense déménager dans une tente en face du resto. Tout est succulent. Le bouillon est excellent, goûteux & pas trop lourd. Les nouilles, le boeuf braisé, les aromates... Wow!!

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!
We had the Lanzhou soup & the Dan Dan noodles, both were delicious, generous portions. Highly recommend ! The service was fast & our waiter was very helpful since it was our first time.
Agréablement surpris de ma découverte, j'y retourne c'est certain! Soupe aux nouilles fines boeuf Lanzhou épicé un vrai régal!!! La barre est très haute pour les prochains restaurants que je vais essayer dans ce style.
Food was great . Love the fact that the noodles are made on sight:) service impeccable. Only downside was how freezing the place was ( we kept our jackets the entire time) & it would had be nice if they add tea in the menu . But server was nice to offer hot water to drink . It warmed us up before our soups arrived .
Service à la clientèle excellent ! Le repas était tellement bon ! Je peux rarement profiter d'un bon repas dans les restaurants asiatique en général due à mes allergies & ici c'est possible. Toujours en vie ! C'est la meilleure soupe que j'ai commandé dans un restaurant. J'y retournerai c'est assuré !

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
I ordered the beef noodle soup. The noodles (handmade) & broth are very good but not served hot enough. I also found the dish had little to no meat or vegetables. Too expensive for what was given.
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
Probablement les meilleures nouilles sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal. Ils font les nouilles fraîches au fur & à mesure que les commandes arrivent. Les bouillons sont incroyablement goûteux. J'ai prit la soupe de nouilles minces au boeuf & au chou & c'était absolument délicieux. Les prix sont vraiment abordables aussi & ils ont des petites soupes pour les enfants, ce que je n'ai pas vu souvent dans ce genre de restaurant. Une super belle découverte pour moi & c'est certain que j'y retourne!
These noodles are amazing! Freshly made & you can choose the sizes of how thick or thin you'd like your noodles to be. We had the dry special beef noodles (spicy) & lanzhou shoup noodles with beef. Both with chive leaf style of noodles & both are excellent! The spiciness is on point, not too much not too little. The Lanzhou noodles soup was also flavored & impressive!
I was there last week & ordered its Special Beef Noodle Soup. The waiter was super polite & helpful, & the handmade noodles that were made at the site had a great texture; the soup tasted ok. BUT, WHERE IS THE BEEF? Nothing likes the picture on the menu
