    Take it from someone who is used to their location in chinatown: it does not compare to the actual restaurant! Really bland in flavour. Meat is not the same and looks suspicious. Broth tastes like instant soup mix rather than beefy, fatty broth. The noodles were the right texture but didn't have enough sauce or seasoning as it does at the restaurant. This is basically the fast-food version of the original beef brisket with dry noodle-the half-assed version. You also get way less food for the same price. I usually can never finish the bowl and today I was very capable. Lackluster!! Will not be returning but I still love NUDO on St-Laurent. This location gives it a bad name :/

    At the food court.

    Had never heard of Nu-Do before. Apparently, they are a chain because I saw them in a few other places in Montreal during our vacation. This particular Nu-Do is located in the food court of the Eaton Centre. We were attracted to this place because we saw them making the noodles right in front of us! Very cool! Ordered the Soupe Et Jarret De Boeuf (Beef Shank with Soup) for $8.95 This was a really tasty bowl of goodness. Everything from the broth to the vegetables to the beef was good. The best part, though, was the noodles! Fresh and yummy noodles was what made this order really stand out. Would absolutely stop in here again.

    Nudo!

    I found Nu-Do after reading Jennifer K's review list of restaurants to try in Montreal (http://www.yelp.ca/list/a-weekend-in-montreal-part-3-montreal-3). After a long day of shopping, I decided to give it a try. Normally food court food will be frozen and heated up or fast food that is filled with calories. Not with Nu-do. Each dish uses hand made noodles that is made fresh to order. During my visit, I ordered the noodle soup with chicken and my brother ordered the noodle soup with beef. The noodle soup with chicken tasted amazing. The noodles had a nice texture and were cooked amazingly. The broth also tasted delicious as it was filled with flavour. My brother said that the noodle soup with beef tasted awesome and the noodles were the best part of the dish. Nu-do exceeded my expectations. The fresh noodles and tasty broth is not something found in a food court. I recommend this to everyone looking for food to eat after shopping. It earned all of its five stars.

    BBQ Beef Noodle Soup

    It's one of those places where they make their own noodles by hand. You the spin then slap the counter with the noodles, and then they pull, bend, pull again, bend again, and pull again. Sure it's in the food court of Eaton Center in Montreal... However it's fresh pasta and whatever culture you look at, fresh pasta/noodles just freaking rock. There are only about 8 menu options. Noodles, with some meat (Pork, Chicken or Beef) with delicious baby Bok Choi, broth and of course the noodles. For a food court restaurant which permits the owner to print money without putting a good product, I can't find anything wrong with this delicious fresh noodle bowl. We're talking straight up, no-frills noodles but it works. Me likey :D

    This is a unique food court option - nothing similar in terms of freshness & entertainment. It's located in the Montreal Eaton centre on the bottom floor. The chef spins, stretches and slaps the dough on the counter. He then separates the dough into fresh noodle goodness. It certainly attracts a crowd! You select from about 8 different options including, pork, beef chicken and vegetable. Portions are a decent size and priced between $7 - $9 per bowl. This is probably the first time I tried freshly made Udon noodles and it really makes a difference. These are damn good noodles. I ordered the vegetarian soup and it was served with Bok Choi, mushrooms and lot's of green onion. I thought the broth was slightly oily but still good overall. I will be back the next time I'm in Montreal to try some of the other options. PS - If you sit near the restaurant, it gets very LOUD. The dough is slammed against the counter over and over again, it actually scared me a few times. BK

    This place is cool! I've never seen anything like this in a food court. It's such a great show watching the chef pull the noodles right in front of you. It's like watching a true pizza chef flipping the pizza. They only serve noodles here - hence the name. So please don't ask them to substitute it for anything. :-). It's located on the 1st floor of the Eaton Centre. I had the BBQ beef shank noodle soup for $8.95. The noodles were pretty good and there was ample beef shank. Sometimes this is a problem with food court food in that give plenty of carbs and very little meat. It's kind of the exact opposite here. I kind of wanted more noodles, but I can't really complain since I got a show out of it and were made right in front of my eyes, literally! What I liked was that they put the soup in a separate bowl so that you could appreciate the noodles before pouring the broth on it, however I would have preferred if the broth was a bit hotter. It was warm but I like my food piping hot. Despite the broth not being to my liking temperature wise, when you combined it with the hand-pulled noodles, it made for an awesome light snack. Verdict: Come see a quick show and a good light snack. To ponder: I hope they have more than one noodle puller during busy hours because it did take around 7-8 minutes for my meal to be prepared and that could end up in a huge line during the lunch rush.

    Fresh hand pulled noodles...yum!

    Needed a quick brunch and it came to me in the bottom level of the Centre Eaton in Montreal. What a treat to get hand pulled noodles in a nice air conditioned space with free WiFi. I needed a place to escape the heat and humidity and this worked....now to go find a cold beverage. Note to Self: "balancing your carry-on luggage and a big bowl of soup is tough normally. Good job not burning yourself or others with a broken clavicle on top of everything". Why thank you Self!

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)

My places to see and eat were already listed and Aunt Dai was on the top of that list of the Montréal food scene. After a flight and long day of exploring, the cold Canadian weather made me crave some warm and delicious Chinese food. But due to lack of energy I decided to order it through DoorDash. After watching so many YouTube and TikTok videos of this place I ordered food from here with high expectations only for them to come crashing down. My order of the spring rolls were mediocre at best but edible. The beef broccoli was a disappointment is to say the least. It seemed like they boiled the beef, carrots and broccoli together and dumbed some soy sauce over it. The sauce was runny, I had asked for extra sauce not watered down soy sauce. Flavor profile was completely missing from the dish. Beef wasn't marinated, fried or stir fried and then mixed with broccoli. It was only Boiled!!! No effort was actually applied into creating this dish. For my first Chinese meal in Canada I was definitely left feeling dissatisfied.

The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner here and we really enjoyed it. I initially was going to get their soup dumplings (their specialty), but when I looked at the menu, I saw that they had Laksa ($18.99), so I couldn't resist ordering that instead. My husband prefers pan-fried dumplings over soup dumplings, so he got the pork and mushroom dumplings ($14.50) and there was a $1.99 surcharge for pan-frying (the base price is for steamed). My Laksa was huge and delicious. The broth was so rich with coconut milk and a bit spicy. It was really flavourful. The noodles had a nice chew to them. The soup also contained some decent-sized shrimp, velvetized sliced chicken, cubes of tofu and a boiled egg. I wished it had some vegetables in though because I felt very unhealthy eating just starch and protein, lol. I did enjoy it though ;) I had one of my husband's dumplings and it was good. It had ground pork in it and chopped up mushrooms. There was a slight gingery taste to it. I liked it and my husband liked them too. Service was very pleasant. The server refilled our waters regularly and I like that the water had ice in it and was very cold. The restaurant is not too large and has seating on a main level then up a few steps they have 4 more tables of 4 by the front window. We walked there from our hotel, but as with pretty much all businesses in The Plateau it's street parking only. Review #209 (2025)

I was expecting a more flavored experience and maybe that is not what they do or I could have ordered differently. The menu is huge so it is hard to know where to start. We went here because of the good Yelp reviews. Were we arrived in Chinatown there were many other places that looked great, so we loitered at the door for a minute while deciding what to do. As we loitered a family came out and noticed us and asked if were were going to Keung Kee. We said we were thinking about it and they said just go, it is the best restaurant in Chinatown. Sold. We went in, up the stairs, waited a bit, and got a table. This is the kid of place you need to bring a lot of people because that is whet it is built for, the menu is extensive, and the portions are huge. We puzzled over the menu then ordered our food. We wanted a bottle of cold sake and the waiter brought it in an ice bucket. Nice. We started with the pork dumplings. The dumplings were very goof but came in a hot thick sweet peanut sauce. With a lighter sauce these would have been outstanding. The scallop was huge and had a bunch of stuff on it. There was some good scallop flavor but it was masked with all the stuff that tasted like old oil. The noodle dish was good but also had some old oil flavor coming from somewhere. All the meats and vegetables were nice and fresh but the good sauce I think was the source of the oil. We saw a table next to us had the pork chops and was asked, what are those? So we got that too. The chops were thin bone in with a batter fried then soaked in a vinegar sauce. These would have been good as our only item with a bowl of rice. Our co-eaters there had many good looking things. I would give this a try again but would bring a few more people so we could try more stuff. Total for all that including the sake was $100 Canadian. Not bad!

LOL. Portions are family style so bring a group with you to share. Salt and Pepper Pork Chop - easily the best dish, great crunch and great flavor. Snow peas sautéed with Garlic was clean, fresh and crunchy. Garlic flavor wasn't overly done. Beef Stew over Baby Bok Choy was tender and beefy. The Baby Bok Choy was hidden underneath in my picture, but it was there. There was also beef tendons as well which I always enjoy. Salt and Pepper Squid was a huge portion and similar to Pork, very crunchy. This was a huge portion. Got seated right away in a packed restaurant on a Friday evening. Service was quick and friendly (except for one dude who took exception to me want to pack my own leftovers). LOL.
