    This is the place for authentic, friendly, no frills Chinese food. We got the hot and sour soup, beef noodles, shu mai, soup dumplings, and pork noodles. All delicious. They only accept cash.

    Food was good. The sweet and sour chicken was crispy . Liked the sauce The dumplings with shrimp was very good freshly steamed. The price is very reasonable. Ambiance the place was small and has limited tables and chairs .First come first serve. Service was good fast and attentive.

    Only take cash. The fried rice is quite good! The space is simple sit down or take out.

    This is a great spot for some Chinese food in Montreal. We enjoyed the kung pao shrimp, shrimp steamed dumplings, scallion pancake (almost like a donut), pork dumplings, and Shanghai noodles with chicken. Everything was great- particularly the pork dumplings. Service was quick and friendly! Remember...cash only. (ATM across the street.)

    Pho, I think. It was great!

    Great food! Extremely crowded, line out the door. Ended up sitting at a counter. If you don't mind noise and busy, and like good food too, go here.

    We got seated right as we walked in the door and had a meal in about 10-15 minutes. The service was so great! We tried 3 different things on the menu and all of them were so delicious! Highly recommend!

I ordered noodle size #5, and the texture was just so-so--it didn't have the chewiness I was looking forward to, which was a bit disappointing. I also found the beef to be underwhelming. The slices were very thin, which can be nice in some cases, but here they felt a bit lacking in substance and didn't have much texture or flavor. It ended up being just okay and didn't add much to the overall dish. I ordered a medium bowl, but the portion was quite large--definitely more than I expected. A small would have been enough for me, so keep that in mind when ordering. We arrived around 8:30 pm and it wasn't too busy, so we were seated right away. The service was pretty good overall, and the staff was attentive without being overbearing.

The space is cozy and very efficient, and despite the line, it moves fairly quickly. The open kitchen is right at the front, where you can watch a guy stretching fresh noodles by the window, which is fun to see. Once seated, ordering is super simple. They ask you three things: bowl size, noodle thickness, and spice level. We ordered three medium bowls and one large, and let me tell you, the large was ginormous. Portions are extremely generous. The noodles were perfectly cooked al dente, and the soup was light yet flavorful, not overly salty, which I really appreciated. Each bowl also came with a decent amount of thinly sliced beef shank, a whole marinated egg, and generous amount of scallions and cilantro. We also ordered the combo sets so we can try their appetizers too. My favorite was the spicy tofu strips. The chewy texture and bold flavor were excellent. My second favorite was the spicy cucumbers, which were slightly crunchy and salty, with garlic and chili peppers adding great depth. I usually prefer larger cucumber pieces for extra crunch, but these were still very enjoyable. The edamame with pickled greens was just okay compared to the others. Overall, my family and I really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back the next time we're in Montréal.

    Great lunch. Tasty. Spicy if you like. Huge portions. Inexpensive. Two lunches + two side dishes…read morefor C$40. The owner has an amazing business plan. The restaurant is just across Rue Sherbrooke from the main entrance to McGill in a block of fancy offices. The space is the size of your first apartment. There are maybe eight tables but the space is shared so all seats are filled all the time from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. And the line goes out the door; don't be discouraged. The line moves quickly. The "host" hands you a menu and takes your order while you're waiting in line. And your food arrives almost as soon as you sit down. And it's tasty. I had "oil noodles" plus spicy cucumbers. My wife had noodles with beef in broth plus spicy shredded tofu. All four dishes were excellent. Seriously. There's a burly guy in the front window making the noodles, which includes loud slams as he stretches and pulls the dough. Did I mention that they must be selling at least as many take out orders as in house. Caution: what you get is actually one long noodle, maybe a meter long, so prepared to slurp and bite off the noodle. We both used napkins (serviettes to you Canadians) tucked in like bibs.

    Les pates vivantes …read more . Handpulled noodles restaurant located in downtown Montreal. We were craving some noodles after walking around and stumbled across @lespatesvivantes. . . Shaanxi Spiced Noodles with Tomato Egg Wok/Oil Spilled Noodles with Tomato Egg 4/5 Beef Noodles Soup 3.5/5 . . The noodle texture, bounciness and chewiness is amazing! Something about hand pulled noodles always hit differently than other noodles. The spiced noodles had excellent flavour and every noodle was coated in the tomato sauce/chili oil. I didn't know you can adjust the spice level so it was a bit spicy for me, but tolerable. The beef noodle soup on the other hand was a lot lighter in flavour, soup was almost bland. Overall, great bowl of noodles with fair price to portion and definitely satisfies the cravings.

    Really good noodle place that also offers different Chinese dishes…read more We had take out from Les Pâtes Vivantes (the name implies the energetic chew you get from the noodles, a very desirable aspect for these dishes) last night through FanTuan. We got the "Original oil spilled noodles three in one" and the "Stir-fried noodles with vegetables and seafood". The food was hot and fresh when it arrived, and the plating was still beautiful. The hot chili oil on top of the "oil spilled" noodles packed solid heat! The pickled string beans were particularly good, and the beef was quite tasty. It could have used more coriander, and was just a tiny bit sweeter and less salty than what I would have preferred, but the flavours were really good overall! The seafood noodles only had shrimps as "seafood", but the flavours were also good. The main flavour profile was soy sauce, which complimented the stir-fried veggies well. I would have liked slightly larger portions with perhaps more meat, but the overall experience was good. The chewiness and freshness of their noodles is what stood out the most for me!

    Decided to try Pangji Guilin Nouilles for a late weekday lunch. They specialize in Guangxi food…read more The waitress was sweet and friendly. Main dishes are $14.99 to $19.99. Make sure to try their hot sauce concoction. They ask for spice preference; went with medium (which was closer to mild). - River snails homemade noodle (D2) ($17.99) - plenty of bean curd. Homemade wavy noodles were plain but decent bite. Broth was homey - Guilin rice noodle - beef (B1) ($15.99) - comes with the usual side soup. Beef slices were good but thin

    FYI: location has changed for those comparing google maps to yelp. this is now on St. Catherine…read morestreet. Definitely underrated- new on the block. Please check them out if the other eateries look crowded. It's hard to find Guilin food in general since most cuisines are Szechuan, Lanzhou, Cantonese, or Northern China. Therefore, I'm glad a small family business has done this will. You will all know Guilin food for its ubiquitous snail noodle made popular in the media in the past few years, now sold in instant packets at the grocery store. I promise the real thing is better. You must order a hand pulled noodle here, and yes, these actually are hand made by knife and hand. Some places call themselves hand pulled but use a machine in the back which I argue should not be calling themselves hand pulled but maybe handmade. I recommend calling a soup noodle and a dry noodle to compare the flavors. We ordered a fried pig feet- this is actually not common because most places braise their pig feet. My husband attests it's very good and that's a rare statement from him since he has had a lot of pig feet in his life. Snail noodle soup- way better in person. The flavors are milder and toppings are way more. Soup is way salty though, so I don't recommend drinking but rather seeing it as more of a gravy. Call this if you are a noodle soup person looking for some spice and comfort. Dry noodle- ok we called one that was vinegar based and then we called the double fried pork belly one. Both had incredible noodle base. Double fried pork is probably the one most people will like better because of the chili oil, meat, and garlic flavor. Personally, I actually thought the vinegar base one was more refreshing although that is an acquired taste. Ask your waitress ahead of time to clarify the "base" flavor of the dry noodle before you order so you don't get a flavor profile you didn't expect. The waitress/staff here are friendly and don't look hassled. The environment was clean and does not feel greasy despite some of the dishes definitely needing a higher smoke point. I like the multiple plants botanical vibe here with contrasts with its smokier and heavier dishes.

One important thing to note: this place is cash‑only, and there's an ATM right at the entrance. That was literally the first thing the employee told us when we walked in, which felt a bit off‑putting. The dumplings themselves were great, and we ordered beers to go with the meal. However, the payment experience was not good. He quoted the total as 70 CAD and told us that was 62 USD since we said we had USD. When we calculated it ourselves, it came out to 49 USD. After we pointed that out, he claimed the "foreign transaction fees go up and down with inflation," which didn't make sense. It felt like we were almost being overcharged. So we ended up getting CAD from the ATM machine outside and paid him, however, we didn't appreciate his dishonesty and felt like he was trying to scam us.
