Fell in love with the Le Lotus Bleu during our summer 2023 visit and we've been meaning to go back! They've made several changes in the past few years, including bringing the noodle chefs to the front and staying open on Tuesdays. The hand pulled noodles here are so good. My partner and I got the small bowls (braised beef and lamb noodle soups), but the portions are HUGE. Highly recommend going for noodle style 6 (thickest, more chewy) or 4. We also got the pork and cabbage dumplings, which are super juicy. This meal was very filling; we could've done without the dumplings, but they're too good to pass up. Service was ok since only one person was handling most FOH procedures. Atmosphere was also fine. It was just really warm, even with the multiple fans running (open doors, no AC), but it was to be expected with the pots of noodles cooking in the front. Since everything is so tasty and affordable, we'll try to make a stop every time we visit :) (Having trouble uploading photos - check Google review) BRAISED BEEF SOUP NOODLE (S) - $13.99 CAD LAMB SOUP NOODLE (S) - $14.99 CAD PORK AND CABBAGE DUMPLINGS (15) - $11.99 CAD read more

The noodle soups and the xiaolongboa were good but not over flavorful. The fried dumplings had hard (dried) edges that made them unappealing. More a fun culinary experience than a wow Chinese meal. read more

Absolutely amazing. The traditional Henan Lamb noddle is very authentic. Daokou chicken is also very special from that area of China. The noddle were hand-made and this special noddle is very famous in Henan, and other cold dishes were very tasty as well. Strongly recommended, must try! The restaurant owner is from that area, very nice and friendly. read more

The Short Version: Popular restaurant in Chinatown with hand pulled noodles. I had one of the noodle soups and it was fantastic. The Long Version: I love hand pulled noodles, so my husband and I had lunch here. He's not a fan of noodle soups but agreed to come and just have appetizers, lol. I got the small-sized Spicy Mushrooms and Chicken Noodle Soup ($13.99). I chose the #6 size noodles which is the thickest noodles they offer. My husband got the imperial rolls ($4.50 for 3) and the fried shrimp wontons ($11.99 for 10). I really enjoyed my soup, especially the thick noodles. They were chewy and the right amount of softness. There were chicken pieces in it, mushrooms and a delicious "tofu sausage." It also had 2 pieces of baby Bok Choy and some pieces of kelp. I wished there was more vegetables. The soup also had green onions and cilantro. The broth was a tiny bit spicy from the chili oil. I am happy that this soup does not have sesame seeds in it, so I didn't have to ask them to hold the sesame seeds. Lol. My only complaint would be that the broth was a bit too salty and too oily for my tastes. I still thought it was good though. My husband enjoyed his appetizers. The imperial rolls were vegetarian. I didn't have any, but they looked like nothing special to me, haha. However, the hubby liked them which is what matters. The fried shrimp wontons looked good and he liked those too. Service was pleasant and efficient. The decor is casual with some fun touches. I liked the rotating lanterns with lights on the ceiling and the drawings of a big squid and clams on the walls. I would return to try their other noodle soups and also their handmade dumplings. Review #10 (2026) read more

So this spot we read on TripAdvisor how great the noodles are so we had to check it out. When we got there, we immediately turned into dumplings, lol you can't go wrong with dumplings. I just wasn't too sure about the noodles. We did see some plates come out and the noodles looked good, but they didn't look fantastic so I definitely wanna go back and actually just tried the noodles, but I always get tempted with the dumplings LMFAO read more

I ended up trying this place because the line for nouilles lan Zhou noodles was pretty long and it was cold. When I walked in, it felt immediately authentic. The staff were speaking Chinese and were very quick with service. I ordered the steamed hand-pulled dumplings with pork and cabbage (one of their signatures). It was such a good deal (15 for $13.99) and the dumplings were delicious! The hand pulled dough really makes a difference. If you're looking for a reliable, quick, and tasty meal, I highly recommend coming here. read more

One night in Montreal we went to this bar recommended by a bar tender who was helping see the hidden gems, but this place was definitely in a different part of town. It ended being great and our way home we stopped at this noodle shop where they are stretching the noodles in the front window, super fun! I would go back, maybe during daylight... read more

We had noodle soups, steamed and fried dumplings, bbq bao, and everything was fast, hot, and so tasty. The servers were helpful and easy to communicate with about choices. read more

Basic dumplings, chicken wings, bao buns etc. Not bad, not super memorable. The ambiance was a lot more Chinatown dive/cafeteria than the photos indicate. read more

Have to say, some of the best Chinese fare we have had in a long time! Restaurant is understaffed so dinner took a while to get to us, I saw that happening at other tables also. You know what? IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! We had a hand pulled noodle soup, cucumber salad, another noodle dish with spicy pork and hand made beef dumplings that were pan fried. EVERYTHING WAS STELLAR! The photo does not do the food justice! Do not pass on this place! Humbly submitted, Moi read more

Was looking for both noodles and dumplings and stumbled upon lotus bleu when the line next door to another restaurant was way too long. Lotus Bleu was serene, delicious, and a taste of home. I went for the waitresses suggestion of La pi and it was my favorite dish, especially for a summer day. We got the lamb noodles and shrimp, chive, pork dumplings. Highly recommend!! read more

Lotus Bleu - Mushrooms, noodles and soybeans- not listed was the soup. 5 star - perfect meal. - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Overall: Lovely spot for hand-pulled noodles in Montreal's Chinatown! Lots of tables, fast service. We had a very heartwarming conversation with the restaurant manager. Value: 10/10. One 'small' bowl of noodles is around $12 CAD ($9 USD)!! The portion is generous; definitely enough for one person. Taste: 10/10. The noodles feel handmade and are flavorful on their own; I got the width 6 which was perfect as a fan of wider/thicker noodles. The broth is delicious (as is the tea! so cozy for a Montreal night).

Interesting place, with very good noodles. They take credit cards. We got the cucumber salad (very refreshing), potato salad (the strips of potato have the crisp, raw consistency of bamboo shoots, with a bit of pepper oil on them), steamed shrimp and pork dumplings, the house lamb noodles, and the chicken cutlet noodles. The noodles and dumpling wrappers are substantial. My wife didn't care for her chicken, as it turned out to be dark meat, but I liked my lamb. The service wasn't very good. We were seated right away, but it seemed like a half hour before our order was taken. They didn't seem well organized. Food came quickly once ordered. read more

This place is so underrated. I am kind of frustrated that if you search "noodles" in Google from a bit further away, this place doesn't even show up so so many people are missing out on this wonderful place. We originally planned to go to the place next door which is Lanzhou noodle. It is this one waitress trying to do cashier, serving, wiping tables and seating customers. Literally impossible. I left after waiting 15 mins and could barely get a table. This place is the complete opposite. The service is phenomenal. The lady is super attentive (pouring water, get takeout box, get extra bowls all by observing) and recommends good dishes. The food is also so good. Henan and Xi'An and Lanzhou are all next to each other in China. Henan noodle is with the Lanzhou like soup base and Xi'An like noodles which are more thick and like blankets. The difference is in the hot sauce. The Henan ones are slightly darker and tastes a bit more like peppercorn. Different but good. A lot of people who are not from China only know Lanzhou and Xian noodles but actually Hunan noodles are just as good and just super underrated. You are missing out if you come here instead of the surprisingly super highly overrated next door spot and you got to try a Chinese regional cuisine which is a lot more unique and harder to find in North America. read more

Amazing hand pull noodles with great texture and soup base. Every dish we ordered had amazing flavor. We had appetizers 1) wood ears 2) cucumbers and 3) pigs ears. Ordered the hand pull noodles with beef, ja Jia noodles, dumplings and their famous chicken. Definitely recommend!! read more

Service was pleasant and the food was delicious . Their soup is not bad nor was it salty. Do you want to wait in line, if not try this place. We ordered pig ears and dumplings as well as their noodle soups. They had chicken katsu noodle soup. they have more selection than next door you don't have to wait an hour in the rain or snow. This place, their seating is not as close together and crowded like next door. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed and there are many items on the menu to try. read more

Great! Went to this place cause the place next door had a line out the door. So we tried this place out and it was great! We tried the noodle soups and dumplings. Two thumbs up from the whole fam of 6. Portions are well sized and flavor/texture of the hand pulled noodles was better than what we are able to get in NyC. We just got to Montreal yesterday and have eaten here twice already! read more

Once the food arrived, it was delicious and plentiful. It was also fun to see noodles being hand-pulled to order. However, we had a difficult time getting our server's attention to order and then it took a good while for our food to be served. Fortunately, we arrived a little early before the restaurant filled, but it made me wonder how long the others would have to wait. This appears to be a family-run establishment, which I always want to win, so I hope they get a little more help to serve. read more

Probably the only restaurant in Montreal serving steamed noodles. So glad to find it. Not the most tasty one I have had but I know how much time it takes to make steam noodles if they make them the original way. So they are still decent. Especially if you have never tried! A safe choice is their soup noodles, all hand made. A little bit oily but good overall. Recommend! read more

I went to eat here last week with my mum. I had pan-fried dumplings and spring rolls. It was really tasty. It's pretty good location if you want something fast and the ambiance is very warm. I would come back to eat here with my friends the next time I'm in town. The services were pretty fast and I wanted to try everything on the menu, although I find some are pretty pricey for me. But I will come back for such great services and try their lamb soup...I find it pretty muggy to have lamb bowl which I had heard it's really good and the waitress recommended that I should try it! read more

Simple Henan chinese cuisine that's tasty and inexpensive. I decided to check it out because the nearby noodle soup spot was packed. They do serve pretty similar dishes. The seating was comfortable and service was good. We got the lamb noodle soup, and the wontons in chicken soup. The soups are mild and comforting, I would definitely come back in the winter. One issue is they don't have air conditioning, so when you're drinking hot soup in the hot summer it may not be so fun. Do check it out soon because the turnover of restaurants in this certain spot is really fast. read more

Came to the area and we were gonna try a different place but the wait was long so came here and glad we did!! The food was outstanding. Service was great!! Staff very friendly. I pretty much devoured everything that was set in front of me. Many options. My boyfriend is vegetarian and the menu was ver accommodating. As we left more people kept strolling in. The restaurant itself is very intimate. Can easily accommodate big parties too. The bowls were offered in different sizes to accommodate all appetites. read more

Idk WHY the line at Noilles de Lanzhou is so long when Lotus Bleu is CLEARLY the superior noodle restaurant oh my goodness this food was delicious. They KNOW how to do noodles here - the hand pulled noodles are so chewy and the soup is so flavorful. I'm not usually a big fan of Liang Pi (cold skin noodles) but it was the BEST Liang Pi I've ever had oh my gosh. Dumplings were pretty good too. In summary COME EAT HERE!! I feel like it should so much more busy here given the quality of food!! read more

It's hard to please every member of my family of 6, but this place was an immediate fave! We had dinner here last night and again for lunch today because we're still dreaming about the noodles. Texture is perfect! M2 is a crowd fave (with size 4 noodles, or size 6 if you prefer wider noodles), and I really like the ban mian with spicy ground pork and crusted peanuts. The dumplings are handmade in-house and we love the pan fried pork and chives dumplings. As for size, my teenage boys can eat a large bowl along with a dozen or so dumplings, and probably XL size if they don't eat dumplings as well. If we lived locally, we'd be frequent customers of this delicious restaurant! read more

Like other reviewers, we intended to go to the hand-pulled noodles place almost next door, but there was a line at the other place and we were hungry. I think we got lucky. The server/owner? explained everything on the menu and we opted to hand-pulled noodles with spicy chicken and tofu, cucumber salad and steamed pork/shrimp dumplings. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service is very police, but no frills with paper napkins. The atmosphere was very relaxed with some background opera. I'm sure a far cry from the hectic neighboring noodle house. read more

The thick noodles at this place is the best noodles I have had in my life. I do not make this statement lightly. I have eaten at many noodle restaurants in Chinatown in Los Angeles, but this gem in Montreal, Canada is the best.

As other have stated, this place is severely underrated. We originally intended to go to Nouilles de Lan Zhou a few doors down. But, that place has peanuts in everything, which wouldn't work for our kids who are anaphylactic. So glad we landed on Lotus Bleu. The food is delicious and the server was extremely sweet and efficient. We advised her of the peanut allergy and she literally triple checked everything with the cook. We had zero issues. The place is also comfy and spacious to sit in. Our order: -Lamb noodles -Pork and chive dumplings -1/2 herb roasted chicken (stating the obvious, but these are Chinese herbs, not oregano, thyme or typical western/European aromas). We are not from Montreal. But, will surely stop by whenever we are in town. read more

Not sure about the 5 star reviews but this place is not ready for prime time. Waited 15 mins to be approached to get seated. Had to call waitress so they can get our order. The place is 50% capacity. Ordered noodle soup with braised beef, fungus salad and braised beef appetizer. Wait staff came back 10 mins after order to say they run out of braised beef. But they have some for the appetizer. Go figure. Replaced soup with chicken and mushrooms, taste very underwhelming. Fungus salad lack acid. Braised beef app okay. Placed is dirty. I regretted spending a meal here when there are better options in Chinatown. read more
