Not bad for mall Chinese food. Expected it to be stir fry but it was soup noodles. And the noodles are hand pulled! Had the pork noodles and the seafood noodles. Hit the spot! read more

3.5 Star I love noodles and especially Freshly Hand Pulled Noodle made to order, so this review will be bias. A steamy bowl of tasty noodle soup will make me a happy camper especially after a beer or two.. a perfect drunk food. This is also one of the first time I have to say I love Food Court "Fast' food! Spicy Beef Shank Noodle ($8.50) was really good but a little pricey and smaller in portion compares to Chinatown location. A good option if you are in the area and have cravings for Chinese food. read more

This place is in the food court at the Eaton Centre. After some serious shopping I was hungry, so stopped here for a bowl of noodles. It was pretty food for a food court place. I had the #5 Beef Shank Noodle Soup ($8.95). It was slices of beef shank, bok choy and noodles. There were green onions and cilantro as well. The broth was surprisingly good. It was very flavourful and had a very subtle spicy kick to it. It was not spicy, I mean I would consider it mild, but it had an ever so tiny and fleeting kick to it. They pull the noodles in front of you when you order and then toss it in hot water. It's a fun show to watch. The noodles were nice and chewy. The bok choy were nicely cooked. The beef was super tender, but since it was shank some pieces were a bit too fatty for my liking, but there were some lean pieces too. I am not usually a fan of food court food, but I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It's a nice change amidst all the usual chains (e.g. Tiki Ming, Kojax, Thai Express, Subway, etc.). read more

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 :/ read more

Nu-Do - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Nu-Do - BBQ Beef Noodle Soup - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

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 read more

ATMOSPHERE: Mall fast food. A nice touch is that they hand-pull the noodles in front of you. FOOD: The food was decent. I think that if you want genuine Lamian, go to Lanzhou Lamian in Chinatown. I promise that you won't be disappointed. The flavors at this Nudo seemed on the bland side (I had to add more spices to bring up the flavor) and the quantity of noodles was small. Even my friends pointed out the tiny portion. I will not be coming back here again, especially since there are so many other options in the food court. PRICE: I was pretty disappointed with their portion-to-price ratio. The plastic bowl was quite small and it didn't fill me up as much as it should have. It wasn't too expensive but I would rather spend the money elsewhere. SERVICE: It's a food court so there wasn't any service to be delivered. They are efficient though. read more

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. read more

Hit or miss restaurant. 2.5 stars Really depends on what u order. The pork ribs noodle is pretty descentbecause the meat is tender and flavorful. Today i ordered the beef shank,and found it underwhelming, the beef didn't have much flavor to it, they should make a real hao lam meen instead. The soup base is all the same,and taste more on the sweet side rather than meaty flavors. The noodles are descent as well,sometimes undercooked,so u have to soak it in your soup before eating it. A good about the place is they only charge 1 dolla for double the amount of noodles,which is totally worth it cause or else you won't be full from their regular portions. Conclusion,better than nothin when you are really craving for some soup noodles. read more

Got the broth with braised beef. Was skeptical at first since we r in a food court. Saw the guy grab pasta dough and start making enough pasta for my soup to order. That was pretty cool to watch. Bowl was very flavorful and certainly exceeded my expectations. Great value and flavors in a food court - can't go wrong if you like Taiwanese noodle soup. read more

I don't feel like I'm eating food court food when I eat here and that's a good thing. It tastes super fresh and yummy and they serve it to you in a real bowl which is a nice touch. Usually when I order Asian food, especially noodle soups, at a food court it ends up tasting very fast foody. Here, it feels like ordering a bowl of noodles at a chinese restaurant but eating in a mall environment. I think that's helped by the fact that it's part of a local chain of restos. The sesame chicken bowl is good but my fave is the beef shank. I've dranken the entire bowl of broth and was fine, I don't think they put too much msg in it. I've tried all three locations and I'd say this one is on par with the one close to Concordia (the china town one is horrible). The one close to Concordia gives you a bigger portion of noodles but has more msg so in the end it's on par. read more

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! read more

This bubbled up towards the top of my Yelp search when I was looking for an inexpensive lunch in the area. I ordered the #1 (chicken and peanut sauce). On the menu board it says "with or without soup" which I didn't understand. When you get served, though- you get a bowl with the hand-stretched noodles, peanut sauce, some veggies, chicken, little crispy (onions?) and a separate bowl of soup stock. I wasn't sure if you were supposed to dump it into the noodles but I did and the flavors mixed perfectly. Seems well above average for a mall food court, and you do get to see the staff pull the noodles by hand right in front of you. read more

Excellent food court restaurant. I still love chez Lan better. Haven't been this place since I graduated. They change their servings bowl to a thin plastic one. The portion goes smaller than before. The beef noodle soup also changed from a dark colour to a more clear look, similar to Lan. I used to get a free pop drink with my student ID. Good old memories changed a bit. A little disappointed. Still worth a try. read more

Excellent bowl of noodles, especially the chicken sesame noodles which I keep coming back for. Price is great too and noodles are always fresh. Oddly enough, this Nudo mall outlet is leagues above the original Nudo restaurant in Chinatown, to the point where if you crave something you ate here, you WILL be disappointed if you order the same thing there. read more

Honestly as a Chinese, Noodle here is just good, nothing special. However, here is not China, I don't have so many choices. I have lunch here very often since the noodle here is better than that in other Chinese restaurants. I recommend the #2, that is my favorite one, noodle with pork sauce. That one is delicious that I can't find anything to substitute it. They made the noodle in front of their costumers. Many Lanzhou-noodle restaurants doing it in China so I feel it is very common. However here is a non-Chinese guy makes noodle here, which makes me feel very interesting:)). I recommend here totally. read more

When I'm feeling a little under the weather, my mind immediate shifts to soup. Warm, slurpy delicious soup. And when I'm stuck downtown at work, I need warm delicious slurpy soup that's quick and nearby. And Nu-Do fits the bill. Located in the food court at the Eaton Center, it isn't the first place I'd think to get my soup fix, but it works. They do takeout, putting the noodles and toppings in one container and the soup in another, so you don't need to sit in the food court to enjoy (though it can be fun to people watch). A bowl of bbq pork noodle soup will cost you less than $10, so it doesn't break the bank either. It isn't particularly spicy, yet it's flavorful, so when I need to get the sinuses moving I make sure to load up on the hot sauce to add in. As an added bonus, while waiting for your soup you get to be entertained by the cook pulling the noodles. It can get loud, as the dough is repeatedly banged on the counter, but oh so worth it. read more

Walking through underground Montreal, we passed this place and saw the young gentleman working there making the noodles from scratch. Fascinated, I bought a #8 BBQ Pork with Noodle soup. I was not disappointed. The broth was tasty and rich, the noodles were firm and fresh and the pork was delicious, with a genuine bbq roasted pork flavor. I'm sure that the Québécois who live here might not think much of this place, with so many great food options in this wonderful city, but for someone like me in the middle of the food desert that is central NJ, it was quite a treat to find such a quality bowl of noodles, just casually walking by in an underground mall. Truly enjoyed and highly recommend! read more

Nu-Do - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Very good and hearthy bowls of noodles in the food court of Eaton Center. However, it used to be better. The soup broth used to be richer and now it's watery a few times when I was there. The portion of noodles in the bowl seems to have decreased as well and now paying 10$ for a bowl isn't really enough for lunch as. I noticed these points for a few months already and I am disappointed by the portion everytime as there are more joints of LaMian (Chinese Ramen) near Guy-Concordia or Chinatown with greater portions for the same price. 3 stars since the food is still delicious and probably the best in the food court. read more

Good food and great place right in the food court easy access. I liked they make noodles in front of you. I got the #1 which was noddles with peanut sauce, shredded chicken with peanut sauce and bok Choi. The portion was goood and price also under $10 I added a combo option for $2 for drink and side dish. The side dish tasted disgusting meat at your own risk. The food came out popping hot and was delicious. The peanut sauce tasted a bit bland felt like they watered down the sauce and hot sauce as I saw the texture too watery. The service was quite fast and plenty of seating read more

First I thought this was the same place as Nudo in Chinatown, which is my favourite place to get noodles. But they taste completely different. The soup is too spicy and tasteless; the quality of meat is not as good. No marinated vegetables, but only a couple pieces of bokchoy in the soup. The only notable thing about this restaurant is that they make noodles right in front of your nose. read more

Pretty good for mall food. Handmade noodles have great texture. Ordered #1 chicken sesame noodles. Plenty of warm noodles, some bok choy, cilantro and fried onions. Plenty chicken but a bit dry. Sesame paste rasted authentic. Came w a side of ginger soup. read more

Very good food. $9-10 per bowl noodles. The address is in Eaton Center food court. It's quite busy actually

This is my choice for a winter fast food. The noodles are freshly made, you actually see them do in in front of your eyes and trust me its a dinner and a show event. I love the fact that you can always ask to add Sesame sauce (really upgrade the meal) the soup on the side (so you can add as much as you want and not drawn the food) and its very reasonably priced ( 7-9$ per meal) for this kind of fresh food. Also if you are a student you get free drink. read more

I really like this place and have been coming for years. The food itself is OK. I won't say its the best Chinese food, but it's definitely not the worst. To all the people complaining here, I'd like to remind you that you are in a food court. With that in mind, it is probably the best Chinese food court food I have ever had. The food is quite flavorful, and the portion size is good for what you are paying (8-10 dollars a bowl). The broth is not bad. It has a bit of a kick to it and pairs well with the noodles. The star here though are the noodles. They are hand pulled in front of you and then put to boil in the water for a minute or two to firm up. When you bite into them, they have a nice chew to them. I tend to order the noodles with pork sauce. The pork is nicely seasoned and very chunky and sprinkled with some fresh cilantro. There are nice undertones of garlic and Chinese spices in the pork sauce. You can think of it as a "Chinese spaghetti bolognese". Since it is served as a dry noodle (no broth in the bowl), they give you a small bowl of broth on the side. I pour a bit of the broth over the noodles to loosen them up, this making it easier to eat with the chop sticks. This is my favorite bowl to order. I've also tried the other dishes and they have all been consistently good. I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving unique noodles downtown, and some good Chinese flavors. read more

I keep going back and forth, 3 stars or four? 3 1/2? For mall food this is four star, in the grand scheme of things, 3 star. I guess you had best just go and try it. But in the end how can you resist hand pulled noodles to order?!? The noodles are very good. For me the issue was more the broth was a bit underwhelming. Kind of like typical won ton soup base. But if you add some of the odds and ends at the end of the counter, it perks things up. I bet in the winter this would be 4 star all the way. Go give it a try in any case as like I said, this is way better than normal mall food. read more

These soups! Are just awesome! Full of flavours, heat, healthiness and much more. It's fun to watch them beat the noodle dough in front of you, it shows you're getting it freshly made. The prices are also competitive. The only thing is that they only accept cash and debit, no credit but don't let that stop you from going. It's a must try. read more

I'm so glad my friend showed me this place. The way they make the noodles in front of you it's just pure art and they taste so fresh. I'm in love! read more

Fresh noodles home made on the spot! Tasty, satisfying, convenient. I had a seafood soup, which was featuring quite a few shrimps of a good size, and some crab meat, together with some (not chopped) vegetables . Very good. read more

This is not Nouilles de Lan Zhao, but what can you expect in a mall food court. For $12 we bought #4 to share with extra veggies, a considerably smaller, less tasty and less-well cooked version of the beef tendon soup at Nouilles. Nudo noodles are hand-pulled but with considerably less craftsmanship and style than Nouilles, they're not as tasty and seemed a little under-cooked. Beef was cooked but not to the melting tenderness of Nouilles. Save your appetite for the real deal! read more

Location: In the Eaton Center food court. Food: Obviously I ordered noodles since that's the only option on their menu. I chose the chicken with sesame sauce, but the non-soup version. The noodle puller, as I like to call him, emerged from the kitchen ready for some serious action. After giving me a rather serious 'don't mess with me' look, he proceed to yank the sh*t out of the noodles, then slammed the hell out of them. Repeatedly. It's a rather noisy and somewhat aggressive process and I can only hope that the noodle-puller achieved satisfaction from the physical exertion of the task. The non-soup was served in a to-go bowl, with the noodles on the bottom, shredded chicken and baby Bok Choy on the top, and of course, the sesame sauce. The first thing I tried was the chicken - it was all breast, just the way I like it, with not a hint of pink anywhere to be found. Though a little salty, I really enjoyed the chicken. It was tender and seemed fresh. I had to forgo the Bok Choy because no amount of cutting (or attempts at) seemed to work. I just couldn't chop through the damn leaves. They were so pretty and green, too. Anyway, I then got a taste of the noodles in sesame sauce. The sauce was quite nice but tasted more like the peanut sauce you would find with peanut butter dumplings. The noodles were good though I did find them to be a bit on the starchy side. Also, they really should cut these things in half so I can get them on my fork more easily. The overall dish was very good, though I will hold that 4th star for a retry - this time in soup format, as the noodles are meant to be eaten. Service: This is where I docked a star. The chick at the counter wasn't friendly at all and I felt like I was bothering her. Never mind that it was 2pm and there was no one else there. The noodle puller wasn't friendly either. It was one of those places that made me want to get my noodles and get the hell out of there, perhaps to a sunnier side of the food court. Price: Under $10, and the noodles are pretty filling. read more

Probably the best that the Eaton Centre has to offer. Generous portions for a reasonable price, and you can add extra meat/noodles for a few extra dollars. The broth is really tasty, and the ingredients complement each other really well. Also, everything is served in an actual bowl as opposed to most other restaurants of the Eaton Centre which give you small plastic plates with barely any food on them. read more

Awesome! I did chicken noodle- had a super tasty peanut sauce and very fresh noodles. We watched the guy hand pull them. It's on the bottom floor of the Eton mall. A bargain find. read more

I was wandering through Montreal trying to kill time (and also got a bit hungry as it was around lunchtime), so finding some generally positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to try Nu-Do. As people before me have said, the big draw to this place was that they have hand-pulled noodles. I really liked how their noodles were made to order; the noodle guy came out from around back to make the noodles as I finished ordering. This guy was by no means an expert noodle-puller (an expert would've been much faster), but they were cooked just right (not too mushy and not undercooked), and the beef was also very well cooked. The soup has gotten many compliments here, but it seemed pretty standard to me - however, I did like that it is less salty than most other places, so you can really pick out other flavours in the broth. Portion size-wise, I thought it was a perfect size: just enough to make you feel satisfied without being overly full. As others have also touched on, the only drawback was the wait. I went on a Friday afternoon (about 1:30pm, so after the lunch rush), and still had to wait a bit before I could eat - on the one hand, it's understandable because it's made to order, but it's also in a food court, so you would expect a bit more expediency in the food prep. After I had ordered, and before I got my food, there was a sizeable crowd of people also waiting...I can't imagine how they deal with an actual lunchtime crowd! Price-wise, I paid a bit over $10 for a bowl of beef noodle soup. Overall though, it's a good place to eat if you want something tasty, not super-filling, and have a bit of time to spare. read more

As a food court standard, food is decent. I had the beef shank soup. It's a typical Taiwanese noble soup. The beef is tender and tasty. Soup base is good as well. The best part is that their noodle are hand made right on the spot. read more

We had the spicy beef shank soup and the #1 Chicken soup noodles. Both were really excellent. The noodles were really good.

It's the worst noodle I have ever had. The noodle quality is bad, and the noodle style is depends on the person. Bad skill. And the most of the noodle are not boiled well. Kind of disgusting. not recommend at all!!!!!!! read more

Probably one of the freshest, chewiest bowls of noodles that I've ever had, and it was from a FOOD COURT. That's what amazes me. You can see the chefs hand-pulling the dough to make the noodles as you wait in line. I got the #5 beef shank noodle soup. I didn't give it 5 stars because I thought the soup base could have been better. It didn't really have much depth of flavour, but for about $10 after tax in a mall food court, this is amazing. If you're looking for a quick bite in the area and are tired of your standard fast food choices, I'd come here. read more
