Busy Chinese noodle shop with a cozy interior dishing up housemade hand stretched noodles in a variety of broths, Lan Zhou style. Directly across from McGill university. Delivery by Uber.
Nouilles Zhonghua is described as a busy, authentic noodle spot popular with students, locals, and visitors, where hand pulled noodles and a range of broths are prepared in front of diners; the small, lively space often means sharing a table and quick service, with strong praise for flavorful beef noodle soup and other dishes such as Chinese hamburgers and crispy buns, including oil spill noodles and Lanzhou style noodles, all offered in generous portions at reasonable prices; the concise menu allows choices in noodle width and broth, and service is consistently fast, making it a reliable option on a cold day or for a quick takeaway, though some reviews note crowding, limited seating, and occasional saltiness or uneven noodle texture in certain batches.
A hot spot for McGill students, locals, & tourists! Nouilles Zhonghua is an incredible hole in the wall restaurant serving authentic hand-pulled noodles. In typical fashion, you can watch the expert craftsmanship of your noodles & various dishes live. The interior is really small, so don't be surprised when you're seated directly next to strangers. The menu doesn't have too many different options, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with anything based on what we had.
We got the beef noodle with Chinese pickled cabbage & two Chinese hamburgers. The food comes out rapidly & steaming hot. We just got the thinnest noodle style (mo xi), but you are able to choose up to seven different styles. The noodles were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of bite & chewiness. There was a good amount of beef & pickled veggies all imbibed with the hearty stew. The Chinese hamburgers were also very tasty. The buns were crispy & filled to the brim with savory, juicy pork meat.
Nouilles Zhonghua is the perfect place for a cold day & a quick, no-frills meal!
The oil spill noodles is very good 😊 & the spice was perfect. Chewy noodle & crunchy vegetables.
The only downside side is that it's a pretty small space with few seating, so if you're eating inside, you might end up sharing a tables with strangers. The stranger in front of me was a messy eater.

Place is small, not a lot of seats available however the food is amazing. Feels busy inside, can't really linger or enjoy the ambiance. Take out or delivery might be better options then dining in. Good for a quick bite. Generous portion, fair price. With that in mind, I would recommend & definitely coming back.
Even if eating inside is fine, do NOT order takeout from this place.
The store was very small & completely packed with people, so I decided to order takeout instead.
Less than a minute after I received my food & walked out, everything started leaking inside the bag. The paper bag completely tore apart & all the food spilled onto the ground. As a result, my shoes, clothes, & bag are all stained. I couldn't even eat the food.
When I checked, the container with the soup had not been properly sealed. I did not carry it carelessly - I held it upright & handled it carefully, yet this happened in under a minute.
I strongly hope you improve your packaging method. Very disappointed.
delicious hand-pulled noodle restaurant! It seems like it's always very busy so expect to wait & share a table. I got a small beef soup, which was the perfect portion for a late lunch, but I'd probably recommend the medium! As a visitor to Montreal, this was a perfect first meal on a chilly day.

I have been there multiple times & it WAS great those first times. I went today & there was plastic & I ended up swallowing some because it was in my noodles. This is not acceptable. I get it's a rush to get everyone their food since there's a long wait but not an excuse to forget about food quality.
Tout bonnement délicieux, il fait cependant un peu froid en hiver car la porte donne directement sur la salle. Ça n'enlève cependant rien au voyage gastronomique. Je reviendrais ✨
Clairement les meilleures nouilles chinoises que j'ai goûté de ma vie. La carte est plutôt petite mais très qualitative. Nous pouvons choisir notre bouillon (ou sans) & surtout la taille des nouilles. Tout est fait maison & devant nous, rajoutons une bonne ambiance au restaurant.
De plus, c'est vraiment pas cher.
ATTENTION, vous allez devoir faire la queue, il n'y a pas beaucoup de place dans le restaurant mais c'est pas grave.
