Across reviews, Nouilles Star is described as a casual, reliable spot serving Chinese comfort food with generously large portions and affordable prices, where the noodles are the main attraction and service is fast and friendly, making it a go to for hungry diners, late nights, and casual meals; the menu gets praise for variety and flavor with standout items like General Tao chicken, Pad Thai, tom yum, fried rice, and seafood dishes, and many reviewers say the value is excellent given the portion sizes. However, some readers point to inconsistencies in quality and protein content, occasional delivery or service hiccups, a decor that is plain or dated, and a few notes about cleanliness or odor in rare cases; still, many say the restaurant is a Montreal staple for noodle lovers and that you can expect hearty meals, big portions, and reliable comfort food even as prices rise.
This used to be our weekly go to place but over the recent months, we have noticed the dishes we've been ordering has barely any protein pieces in there but it was filled with nothing but onions, green pepper & heavy sauce to hide it. Extremely disappointing.
We don't know if this was a mistake or intentional but we were short changed 21.00 (waiter, a tall slim guy wearing a cap in late 50s). I don't think we will be returning back to restaurant ever again.

Worth every penny. A delicious Chinese cuisine in downtown. We are very much happy with their Service, food, ambience. We had almost no waiting time there. Loved the taste. Food Portion was too big for me, I had to share it with my partner. I will definitely come back to this place in future.
First & last time...very disgusting presentation...beef & mushrooms are suppose to be served with sauce & rice to be separated..it is very dry & tasteless.
This restaurant has been serving abundant & delicious Chinese food for decades now. They do not pretend to be something else so they don't overspend in decoration either. They have exactly the most important thing, good food & simple but effective service.
Os pratos servem muito bem 2 pessoas. Tem opções para veganos, vegetarianos e'carnívoros'. É comum pedir um box e levar para casa a comida que nao comer durante a refeiçao no restaurante. Em média o preço para duas pessoas fica em $ 15 CAD. O local é bem simples, sem detalhes de luxo mas é bem atendido.
Good sesame balls & chow mein though the general tao was off tasting. When my friend asked to return it the waitress started to talk down on her saying that every restaurant doesn't give a refund for food that's been touched (untrue) causing a big scene when she wasn't happy with the quality she was given. She was very hostile & unwilling to hear my friend denying our lived experiences at other food establishments with how they without fuss removed the item of food from the bill. She loudly & repeatedly reprehended my friend, spewing lies about how restaurants work making it a very uncomfortable environment. Speaking of environment, the interior is outdated & dusty, there was also splatter of some kind of food on the wall where our table was. I'd get the chow mein again but only for takeout, I hated how my friend was spoken to it was seriously unlike anything I've ever experienced in a restaurant before. I won't be dining here again.
If you're looking for the best ramen in Montreal, this place is not for you. If you're looking for the best value for your money, & you're really hungry, this place is for you. 16$ for what felt like 4 liters of beef ramen is an absolute steal.
We stumbled in while visiting MTL, & I had the best noodles I've ever had in my life. I'm writing this review two years later because I couldn't stop thinking about the noodles.

We got there about 7:30 p.m.. we turned into the dining room, taking a two-seat small table near the window. There was no menu & we waited over 5 minutes for some of the notice we were there. Yet there was only one other diner. Eventually a middle-aged Chinese gentleman did service & was responsive. The food was okay & we will probably go there again sometime.
