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 widely described as a small, bustling spot where fresh hand-pulled noodles and flavorful broths shine, with generous portions at a fair price, and the experience often feels like a lively workshop with noodles made in front of customers. The space is compact and frequently crowded, leading to short wait times and communal or shared tables during peak hours, while service is generally fast and friendly though occasionally uneven. The menu highlights allow choosing broth, noodle width, and portion size, and standout items like the Lanzhou beef noodle soup and the Chinese hamburger receive frequent praise for authenticity and depth of flavor. Overall the place is seen as a must-visit for a quick, affordable, satisfying meal, especially on cold days, though a few notes mention a salty broth, limited seating, and a busy, noisy environment.
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.
