Noodle Factory - Montreal, Quebec

They're super friendly staff!! Amazing cuisine, large portions and great prices. Definitely a great option. *CASH ONLY*

I stopped in here on a recent trip and was delighted to realize that I had been there previously, seven years before. I remembered how delicious the food was but forgot that they only take CASH. It's absolutely worth it to eat here but be sure to get cash first! ... There is an ATM at the Holiday Inn across Rue Saint-Urbain, though with fees (it works in a pinch). Plan ahead and enjoy your meal! Read more

Small restaurant with limited seatings so make sure to arrive as soon as they open. Super welcoming staff and food came fast and fresh (noodle and dumplings are my favorites). I’ve been going here for years and can say that they have cut down on the portion like many other ... restaurants but it is still super affordable. I usually pay almost double elsewhere for the same amount of food. I strongly suggest to give it a try if you’re craving for fast chinese food without breaking your bank. Read more

I've been frequenting the Noodle Factory off and on for years, drawn repeatedly by its straightforward charm and delectable offerings. Nestled in the heart of Montreal's vibrant Chinatown, this no-frills eatery has carved out a niche for itself, serving up tasty dishes at an unbeatable value. Upon entering, one can't help ... but notice the restaurant's modest dimensions. The space is somewhat cramped, a testament to its bustling activity rather than any lack of foresight. While not expansive, the setting is adequate, fostering a cozy atmosphere that puts the focus squarely on the food. The staff, adhering to the establishment's no-frills approach, provide the basic level of service necessary to facilitate your meal. This minimalist approach to service underscores the restaurant's commitment to offering a low-cost dining experience, prioritizing the quality and affordability of the food above all else. However, it's important to note that the Noodle Factory may not be accessible to everyone, as it currently does not provide wheelchair access due to the absence of a ramp. This limitation is a significant oversight that the establishment should address to welcome a broader clientele. The menu at Noodle Factory stands out for its generous portion sizes that leave customers satisfied. The dishes, while simple, are prepared in a way that brings out a richness of flavor, ensuring a delightful dining experience. The cost of dining here is surprisingly low, making it a go-to spot for those seeking a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Be mindful that the restaurant operates on a cash-only basis. While this may require a bit of planning ahead, the dining rewards are well worth this minor inconvenience. In sum, the Noodle Factory stands as a testament to the simple pleasure of good food served without pretense. While it may benefit from a few logistical improvements, its commitment to providing a cost-effective dining experience, alongside the satisfying culinary offerings, ensures its place as a beloved fixture in Montreal's dining scene. Whether you're a long-time patron or a curious newcomer, the Noodle Factory promises a dining experience that's both satisfying and memorable, all while keeping your wallet happy. Read more

I would give this place 4.5 stars if it were an option. This is a great “hole in the wall” restaurant with fast service and very attentive wait staff. We were served what I’m assuming was cold tap water out of a bottle right away, which was nice to have ... as soon as we sat down. There was an option to buy canned sodas, but it is not on the menu. We ordered wonton soup, noodles with pork and fried pork dumplings. ALL of the food was EXCELLENT!! Fresh and delicious with just the right seasonings. Loved the chili oil that was brought to the table. Downside, if you don’t know ahead of time is that this is CASH ONLY!! They do take US dollars. Also, this is not a place to go if you want to sit for hours and have cocktails with your friends/family. It is small and they move fast. I never felt rushed but it’s just not a place that you’re going to be hanging out for a long time. We didn’t have to wait for a table but I can see how a line could easily back up. Read more
