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 est un petit restaurant très fréquenté où l’espace est restreint et où l’on peut devoir faire la queue et partager une table, mais les nouilles tirées à la main et les bouillons savoureux séduisent, les portions sont généreuses et le rapport qualité-prix est intéressant, ce qui en fait une option rapide et rassasiante surtout au déjeuner; la nourriture est généralement décrite comme délicieuse et authentique, avec des plats faits maison et des ingrédients frais, et certains avis mettent en avant une soupe de boeuf ou un bouillon particulièrement réussi; le cadre peut être bruyant et légèrement froid en hiver à cause d'une porte qui donne sur la salle, et le lieu est souvent décrit comme cosy et animé; le service est rapide et efficace, même si le personnel peut être anglophone selon les jours, et le paiement est parfois en espèces uniquement; en pratique il est recommandé de privilégier le takeout ou la livraison lorsque le restaurant est très occupé, car l'emplacement est populaire notamment près du campus et en heure de midi; globalement, cette adresse est vue comme l'un des meilleurs endroits pour déguster des nouilles chinoises à Montréal et laisse rarement les convives indifférents.
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!
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.

Update: went back & tried their standard beef noodle soup. The noodles were soft & pasty due to not being worked enough. This is a common'shortcut' restaurants take to save on Labor costs & get prep done faster. I ended up throwing out most of the noodles in my takeout order, which means I didn't eat much.
Unfortunately it is also a serious fault. In China the noodles are chewy because they are expected to be so. Soft noodles in this style are unacceptable.
The broth was also very, very bland. I've had way more flavorful vegetarian broths.
I might get the other items, but I'd be hesitant to try wheat noodles here again given the low quality & poor texture.
Former 5 star review from last week: Pretty good. Liang pi not the most flavorful, but styles vary & this is solid.
I declined the pork burger but either they misunderstood or didn't care because I got in anyway. I ended up not minding because it didn't taste much like pork & it was delicious. 😋
Had the medium beef noodle soup with a Chinese hamburger. Delicious. The meat was tender, the broth was tasty. Added some additional spice & a bit of soy sauce. Good prices. Better than the popular place in Chinatown.
We visited during lunchtime, & it was pretty busy, so we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Luckily, you can place your order while waiting, which was convenient because you barely wait once you sit down. We got the large Special Lanzhou beef noodle combo (19.58 CAD), & even though we were super hungry, it was more than enough to fill us up. The flavors were great, & we really appreciate everything being homemade. Will come back for sure!

Excellent fresh Chinese noodles, made on the spot. The food is of excellent quality, & I really liked the beef. However, for lunch, a place crowded with people, plan to eat at a table with other people. But I'd definitely recommend the restaurant for eat-in or take-away. A great discovery.
Ordered the beef tendon noodle soup & vegetables noodle soup. Food was delicious, large portions, seating inside is small but they do quick takeout as well
Loved the liangpi, beef shank, tofu salad. The service was friendly & attentive. The zha jiang mian was just ok. Would go back to try their noodle soups because the soup that came with the zha jiang mian was super tasty. Nice rich beefy flavours. Cash or debit only. Space is quite small. They had about 5 sets of tables to seat 4 people each.

Really wonderful! Generous portions with generous amounts of beef, delicious broth. The waiter made sure to ask whether I wanted spice, coriander, or green onion. Good vinegar & chili oil available at the table. Some of the best-textured noodles I have had in Canada! The price point was very good for the portion size. No AC though, & just keep in mind that credit payments have an extra surcharge.
Excellent beef noodle soup, the broth is incredibly tasty & the beef portions are always so tender & full of flavor. The service is efficient & the pricing is fair. Perfect for McGill students.

I got myself the spicy beef noodle regular size, loved it, tasty & & the portion is huuge. It's perfect meal to warm you up in cold winter nights. The place is literally a hole in the wall tho, the space is so cramped won't fit your winter coat lol
Oil spill - the best noodles I've ever had! The beef noodles were also incredible. Service is quick & so fun to watch everything be hand made be made in the front window.
ordered the special lanzhou beef noodles. the broth was good & the noodles texture were nice. only giving 3 stars because i felt pressured to give a tip when prompted by the staff although I don’t feel the service was that spectacular.
take note this place doesn’t accept credit card, only debit card.
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.
