Review Summary

Nouilles Zhonghua draws praise for fresh, hand-pulled noodles made on site and a savory, often rich broth, with many reviewers calling it authentic, comforting and worth a visit on a cold day. The menu is admired for its customization options, including broth base and noodle width, generous portions and affordable prices, with standout dishes such as the Lanzhou beef noodle soup and a highly regarded Chinese hamburger. The atmosphere is described as cozy and lively, with a workshop-like vibe and noodles prepared in front of diners, though the space is small and can get crowded, leading to lines and shared tables at peak times. Service is typically fast and friendly, but there are occasional notes about language barriers or uneven service, and a few reviews mention room for improvement in broth depth or saltiness. Overall, Nouilles Zhonghua is viewed as a reliable, popular spot for authentic hand made noodles and a quick, satisfying meal, especially favored by students and locals during lunch and on snowy days, with many reviewers planning to return.

Authentic Chinese hand-pulled noodles made with fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Restaurant is quite small so it gets pretty crowded.

Honnêtement, ce serait un crime de venir à Montréal sans manger ici. 🚨 C'est clairement un endroit incontournable-le genre d'adresse qui définit la culture culinaire de la ville.

Niché juste à côté de l'université, ce resto de nouilles est l'endroit parfait pour un repas rapide, délicieux & abordable. 💸 La qualité, elle, est bien au rendez-vous-les nouilles sont faites à la main sous vos yeux. On peut même entendre le bang bang bang rythmique de la pâte frappant le comptoir pendant que les chefs l'étirent & la découpent. Ce son, c'est la moitié du charme-comme un concert en direct pour les gourmets. 🎶

L'ambiance est toujours animée-lumières tamisées, vapeur qui flotte dans l'air, & l'odeur alléchante des nouilles fraîches partout. C'est bruyant, mais d'un bruit chaleureux : les discussions des tables bondées se mélangent à la percussion des nouilles en préparation. Jamais trop fort-juste assez pour rappeler qu'on est au coeur d'un atelier vivant & palpitant.

Les bols arrivent fumants, pleins de saveurs, & on sent la fraîcheur à chaque bouchée. 🍲✨ Que vous soyez en mode révisions ou en sortie avec des amis, cet endroit a ce mélange rare d'énergie & d'authenticité qui donne envie d'y revenir encore & encore.

Delicious, authentic & comforting noodle soup. It is the best joint in Montreal, more than in Chinatown. Perfect for a rainy or snowy day! Their Chinese hamburger is absolutely incredible.

By the way, yesterday we got some noodle soup here to take away. I don't really understand why they're praising it so much, it's not remarkable at all, it's absolutely the same as in any noodle restaurant in Chinatown, so sorry🤷🏻‍♂️just average. Advantages: speed & authenticity of the establishment. Simple :)

A very authentic Chinese pulled noodle shop. The flavors are all excellent. The wait staff are friendly & trilingual. The quality of the meat was excellent. If I lived in Montreal I'd be tempted to eat here every day.

The noodles were really good, although the dish was very spicy & there was zero mention of it on the menu (that I could see). The atmosphere is cozy if you like the authentic feel of sitting on a little stool at a small table in a small shop (I mean this sincerely! It's got charm). However, if you like me have sensory issues, the frequent, extremely loud slamming of them making the noodles got my anxiety spiking & kept me jumping every time. If you have issues with loud noises I'd recommend take out.

This place offers the best noodles I ever had in Beijing, Seattle, or anywhere.
The noodles are really chewy. The Xi’an cold noodles were especially tasty. The portion sizes are huge—I always ordered Large Bowl but could barely finish.
Both the Lam Zhou beef noodles & the sour vegetables noodles were as good as any version I had anywhere else: the beef tastes really authentic, just like the ones I used to have in Beijing many years ago.
Even side dishes like cucumbers are good.
Not pricey at all considering the size portion size.
Was there twice in 5 days- would have been there more often.

A gem in downtown. The broth is super tasty. Very attentive service & authentic snacks. Can’t ask for more at this price & taste level.
