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.
We were a group of 2, & their tables are mostly in clumps of 4, so we ended up seated next to another couple. It's a bit awkward because you can hear their conversation & vice versa.
I got the medium lanzhou beef noodle combo with potato strips.
Food comes out very fast, & where do I begin?
The noodles were perfect texture, the broth is hearty & the perfect amount of salty. I do prefer my soup on the saltier side, so it might be saltier than what other people want, but for me it's perfect.
The beef slices are tender as well & the amount of spice/chili was perfect. You can always add more chili sauce if you want.
Hard to not compare it to the Lanzhou noodle place in Chinatown, & I honestly found everything here better. The only thing I can'complain' about is that the portion sizes aren't quite as big as the Chinatown location, but honestly it tastes better so who cares. If you're really hungry, maybe get the large instead.
Unfortunately, they were out of cucumber salad & tofu strips, but the shredded potato salad was really good. The edamame salad was ok. I think they could stand to add more Brassica juncea in it.
Overall, just so good & comforting. Will have to come back.
I ordered a large beef noodle soup using UberEats. The noodles were excellent. The broth was excellent (medium spicy). But the beef was poor quality. & there were no vegetables at all. I wouldn't order from here again.

Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant. On nous a assis à une table où il y avait déjà quelqu'un d'attablé, comme à Hong Kong. La personne était en plus super sympathique ! Restaurant qui peut passer sous les radars mais qui mérite d'être découvert !
My husband & I visited this place twice when we were in Montreal last week. It was divine. Service was fast, efficient & welcoming. The hand-pulled noodles & the broth were mind blowing. This spot is not to be missed.
one of the best Chinese noodles place in Montreal.
the price are affordable. everything is home made. it's very crowded during lunchtime because it worth it.
the staff is efficient. you can eat in 30min. even if it's crowded
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.
