Nudo

Great dumplings, friendly staff, and good prices. The dumplings and noodles are handmade.

While the place is pretty dark and shabby looking, our noodles were really good. Clearly hand pulled and delicious. I felt a little bad for the server though. She brought us the wrong thing at first, and appeared to be the only waitress. I think she was stressed out being there by herself, but she did her best to serve us efficiently, so I can’t fault her personally. Someone showed up a little later so perhaps the other server was on break. I would return because the food was good enough to outweigh any shortcomings.

After an afternoon of walking around the old port area of Montréal we walked over to Chinatown in search for munchies! Walking past a few phở places, conversation came up of how good the noodle soups were supposed to be here. A couple more steps and we arrived at Nudo. Peering down into the basement where the restaurant was located we slowly walked in with hesitance.
Welcomed right away by a smiling waitress we couldn’t help but accept her invitation to have a seat. Given water and menus right away we scanned over the simple menu. Noodles were the obvious star here, the chef slapping noodles on his work table had my girl startled at his first slam of the noodle haha! We chose to share a couple apps; chicken pot stickers, cucumber salad and spring rolls. All three were decent, dumplings could’ve been crispier but the spring rolls and cucumber salad were great. I got the bbq pork noodle and my partner got the beef shank noodle. First off, the noodles are GREAT. Delicious fresh noodles with a tasty broth. Veggies and meat to accompany. Exactly as advertised and better tasting than expected.
I’ve had pulled noodles before but this was definitely better than anything prior. Would return next time I’m im town. Very delicious.

A bit hard to characterize this place… on the one hand it’s big and during our mid-​week early dinner it was kind of quite, with not too many tables occupied. Yet at the same time there was Chinese karaōke on the plasma screens on both sides of the dining hall…
Our servers were kind and polite. The food arrived quickly, though not in the order we expected it to… the seaweed salad was the only appetizer that came before the noodle soups, and the spring rolls made it to our table last (even though some of us planned to have them as a starter). We originally came here because they feature both hand pulled noodles and dumplings. However, some of the vegetarians in the group were disappointed to learn that non of the dumplings was vegetarian. The vegetable dry noodles were also a disappointment, since they were served with sweet sauce. All the other dishes on the other hand were very good and truly authentic, proper Chinese dishes. I guess you win some, you loose some… but honestly for these prices it’s worth it!

I generally avoid places like these, I tend to like burgers, fries, pizza, wings and all thst fatty fried goodness. My girlfriend loves Asian cuisine, and finding a good hand pulled noodle establishment in New York that is authentic and priced reasonably is next to impossible. In a attempt to Convince her to let me go to café cleopatra after, I without hesitation went into Nudo. I ordered the sesame pulled chicken noodle bowl and WOW. I was shocked. I seriously have been missing out on amazing food this whole time. They make the noodles in the front with a visible kitchen so you get the full experience. The chicken was fresh PULLED chicken with an amazing glaze sauce. I added spicy sauce for flavor. For 8 dollars you grt a fresh and authentic feast.
Highly recommend

My boyfriend doesn’t really like Chinese food that isn’t General Tso’s Chicken (sad, but it is the reality I have to live in.) But I have somehow convinced him to try hand pulled noodles with me while we were in vacation in Montréal. We quickly looked up Unilocal and Nudo popped up. I had the braised beef noodle soup. He had the pulled chicken dry noodle dish. We also had the chicken dumplings to share. The noodles were made in the open kitchen and you can see and hear the chefs preparing your meal. The noodles were so delicious and my boyfriend loved it too! So glad this place was a positive first experience for my boyfriend to try hand pulled noodles. We would definitely be visiting again the next time we come to Montréal. Our meal with two drinks come up to around CA$ 30 (US$ 23). We were stuffed and super satisfied.

I was a bit scared when I arrived at 1pm on a Monday to find exactly 1 other person in the restaurant. I was cold and wanted soup, though, so I stuck it out. Glad I did, as a few more people eventually showed up and my braised beef noodle soup was quite yummy. The broth was very flavorful and the noodles were filling and had a nice texture. The service was super fast and smiley. The only cons were that some of the beef pieces were on the tough side and I was expecting a little more spice to the soup, but I wouldn’t hesitate to eat there again.

We enjoyed this place for its cheap dumplings, fresh noodles, and assortment of small side dishes. The pork and chive dumplings tasted homemade, the scallion pancakes were nice and crispy, and the noodles in sesame sauce were good. The entire meal was very filling and inexpensive.

Brought my mom to Montréal for the first time. She kept saying she wanted noodle soup so we stumbled upon here in Chinatown. We went into a few places but they were either too dingy, smelly or dark. Nudo seemed closed (the forgot to put the sign on lol) but inside was open, spacious and clean (didn’t smell like a toilet or trying to mask any foul smells with bleach).
We ordered the dry noodles with chicken, chicken noodle soup and pork pot stickers. The noodles were soooooooooo good! You can taste that it was freshly made — you taste the flour and the consistency is different. The veggie pairings were also delicious down to the complimentary soup offered with the dry noodle items. My mom really enjoyed her noodle soup. The pot stickers were okay though, we’ve had better.
Staff were pleasant. I liked seeing the noodle kitchen window where you see the cooks making the noodles. 3 people costed $ 40 including tip. Not too bad. Will definitely come back. Craving the noodles and drooling as I type!

This is another cheap eats place in Chinatown worth a visit. The noodles there are nice and I love their little snacks that you can buy with your meal.

I do not understand how this restaurant is not constantly packed! The noodles are hand pulled, and you can watch the process as they are made through a window. You can order your noodles either dry (with broth on the side) or as a noodle soup. Each table has a variety of condiments to season the delicious bowls to your taste. My favorites are the braised beef shank and the barbecue pork. The vegetable soup was great too, packed with flavour! Their scallion pancakes are always crispy, never soggy. They also has a number of small, fresh salads and pickle to accompany the meal.
The prices are really affordable for the quality of the food. It is in a basement, so the décor is what you would expect from a hole in the wall. Do not let it fool you, the food is to die for! The only downside is that they do not serve alcohol and it is not byob. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the service is always fast.

Ici c’est les nouilles la spécialité!!!
On a aimé les dumplings grillés, les rouleaux de printemps étaient excellents.
Vraiment pas cher!!!

Meilleures nouilles fraîches de Montréal! Frais, bien assaisonnés et goûteux, un incontournable pour moi maintenant!

Love it! My kids love it!
fresh hand-​pulled noodles (right where you can see!) added to broth of your choice with toppings. fresh and affordable food while on vacation! i stayed at the Holiday Inn in Montréal’s chinatown and it was easily walkable to Nudo for dinner.

The noodles are fresh — you can see the chef pulling them in the kitchen as you sit waiting for your orders — and the soups are all good and not too expensive.
We tried the vegetables soup and the bbq pork one and both were good. Warming and filling, all you ask a soup to do!
Plus, they usually are open when everyone else around isn’t so it’s nice to know that if anything else fails, they are still there to feed you :-)

Delicious. Great broth. Fast and cheap.
I had the bbq porc noodles and a scallion pancake. Both were amazing.
What I liked most about this place is that there is a guy making the noodles right in front of everyone. Very fresh.

A Chinatown gem. This hand-​drawn noodle place is legit. I wished they also serve shaved noodles like the restaurants in Philly.
The servers, can speak both English and Mandarin. Service is good, and they are happy to oblige, as long as you don’t mind waving or gaining attention via any means appropriate in public.
Through the large glass window you can watch the chef manhandle the noodle, twisting and shaping the dough into a nicely textured noodle that is not overcooked, like pasta, the bowl of noodle soup that I had was «al dente». yumm. I had the #1 braised beef which came in a tasty dark broth, bok choy (a type of Chinese cabbage), and the tasty noodle. The beef was cooked well, tasty and soft. We also had the pork ears and beef appetizers, which is cheap and decent — although it could use more sauce. I also like the free cold tea.

I ordered a «dry» dish to go, and I was thankful it came with some soup, because I found that the dish really needed it. The soup broth was quite tasty, and the 4-​star rating is influenced by how I liked the broth so much that I drank the rest plain when I was done the noodles.
Also, my server deserved a mention for spending the time explaining the menu and the different choices to me without rushing. I appreciate it!
All in all, the food was good, as was watching the noodle pulling exhibition.

Un autre endroit pas cher et tout à fait recommandable dans le quartier chinois. Les nouilles sont très bonnes, même si je les ai trouvées un peu en deçà de celles qu’on mange aux Nouilles de Lan Zhou. Le bouillon de la soupe, par contre, est vraiment trop fade à mon goût. Mieux vaut aller du côté des nouilles sans soupe, dont l’assaisonnement est très agréable et bien balancé. Mon plat de nouilles au porc BBQ était une véritable aubaine pour 7,50 $! Les entrées et à-​côtés sont variés et peu chers. Nous avons bien aimé la crêpe aux échalotes, croustillante à souhait, les kimchis, délicieusement épicés, et avons été heureux d’essayer les plus exotiques oreilles de porc (que je né recommande pas, sauf si vous aimez croquer dans du cartilage froid).

Woah!
Really really delicious place! It’s a treat to watch them make the hand pulled noodles. Try the shallot pancake as a starter — it’s crispy and yummy!
The food is 5 stars but the restaurant itself is quite bare and the service is no-​frills.
Warning to vegetarians: the noodle soup is with a chicken broth.

Préparation des plats à la demande.
Fabrication des nouilles pratiquement devant vous.
C’est plutôt sympa

I automatically salivate when I think of hand-​pulled noodles now. It’s a problem.
I got the braised beef shank noodle soup with a little bit of spice and b. got the chashu pork noodle soup. Both of our soups were packed with flavor — mine tasted a little heavier (slightly greasy) while b.‘s looked and tasted lighter. While I wasn’t a fan of the pickled vegetables in mine, the tender beef and toothsome noodles took the spotlight. The chashu pork slices in b.‘s weren’t quite what we expected but decent. Overall, they don’t skimp on the ingredients and the portions were plenty filling. We left satisfied and completely stuffed to the gills. Service was prompt and friendly. A little bit of an odd space — open and sparse looking with a couple of flat screen TVs. But obviously you go for the noodles, not the décor.
CASH ONLY!
* In hindsight, after trying the noodles at Nouilles de Lan Zhou the next day (I told you, hand-​pulled noodle problem), I preferred their braised beef shank noodle soup for the overall composition. On the other hand, I really liked the lighter broth of the chashu pork noodle soup at Nudo. In the end, I salivate when I think about the noodles at either place. So you decide.

You can’t beat handmade/​hand-​pulled noodles.
The broth in the braised beef noodle soup is very hearty and rich, noodles are chewily dense, beef is melt-​in-​your-​mouth tender. The chive pancakes were delicious and quite thin and crispy (they seemed almost deep-​fried), but the cucumber salad was just okay because several pieces were a bit mushy.
Restaurant is located downstairs from the street; décor is pretty basic. Definitely come for the noodle soup — the noodles alone are worth it!

I was in a ramen mood and originally wanted to go to Sumo Ramen since I’ve heard good things. But after the driving and the cold weather I kinda just parked on St. Laurent and, no joke, walked into the restaurant directly in front of my car.
Nudo had a foldable display outside their restaurant that advertised Yuki Ramen, and my date and I immediately thought «good enough» since we were too lazy to walk the 800 meters to Sumo. Glad we did because those noodles, though not ramen, are FINE. Immediately after being seated I checked the Unilocal reviews and praised the heavens that this place had favourable reviews.
We ordered the garlic and chive pork ravioli dumplings to start. This is where they lost the star because it was plain awful. The smell was off-​putting, the sauce accompanying it tasted like tangy soya (teriyaki sauce??) and the dumpling itself was a weird mix of flavours (read: mostly cabbage). Not for me. Not a great start for Nudo.
The mains were the stars. I ordered the braised beef shank noodle soup and it was just plain great. The noodles were very distinct and I already crave their dense chewiness after only an hour of having them. The broth was very flavourful and not salty. The beef was tender and the bok choy was a great filler. While the portion size is gigantic, I do wish there was more bok choy or beef since most of the bowl is very much broth and noodle. That isn’t even really a complaint though, since the broth and noodles are great in their own rite.
All in all, you have to eat here because NOODLES. They do it good.

Les raisons pourquoi on donnerait un classement très positif sur ce restaurant est fort probablement à cause de la qualité des nouilles qui sont faites sur place derrière les vitres ainsi que pour le coût des plats étant très raisonnable pour les ramens. Les serveurs étaient très polis avec leurs clients ainsi que prenaient toute leur temps à nous servir et à attendre notre commande malgré les journées où le restaurant était bien rempli. En bref, question de service clientèle, le seul hic fut les toilettes ainsi que le fait que les clients pouvaient se sentir très rapprochés des autres tables voisines malgré le fait que les nouilles compensent pour la situation.

De bonnes nouilles préparées à la commande, on voit le cuisinier les faire derrière la vitre et surtout, on l’entend les frapper sur le plan de travail.
Servies en soupe ou pas, il y a quelques choix d’accompagnement.
Les nouilles sont vraiment délicieuse, pas trop salées et à peine épicées.
Les jus de fruits sont également préparés à la commande… Et sont énormes ! Mon préféré le jus de melon d’eau (ou pastèque).
C’est bien bon, les quantités sont gargantuesques !!!
Pour 2 soupes de nouilles et deux jus, comptez un peu plus de 25 $.

Un restaurant avec une grande surface et une approche très simple à la cuisine asiatique dans le quartier chinois de Montréal. Les plats y sont très savoureux et la cuisine visible par toutes et tous.

Nous sommes allés au Nudo parce que j’avais acheté un coupon sur TeamBuy. Le resto est dans un sous-​sol du quartier chinois. Quand on entre, le décor est assez drabe; ça a l’air d’une salle de réception à louer et pas décorée (chaises achetées en gros, tables carrées sans nappes, murs blancs).
Le menu est assez succinct. Quelques entrées (ou, comme c’est écrit sur le menu, des «trées», ah ces chers menus de restos chinois!), des soupes et des plats de nouilles. Il y a aussi des Bubble teas. J’ai pris une soupe aux fruits de mer (crevettes, pétoncles, calmar, champignons de paris, bok choy) et mon copain, une soupe végétarienne (bok choy, champignons de paris, champignon shiitake (?)). Nous avons aussi pris une entrée de wontons sauce aux arachides et chacun un bubble tea. On nous a servi gratuitement une petite salade d’algues et ail frais que j’ai trouvée délicieuse!
Ce qui est vraiment impressionnant est que les nouilles sont faites sur place, à la main et à la commande. C’est donc ce qu’il y a de plus frais! Et ils né lésinent pas sur la portion de nouilles! Dépendamment de son appétit, on peut en avoir suffisamment pour deux repas dans un bol.
Le bouillon n’est pas très impressionnant par contre. Celui de ma soupe aux fruits de mer goûtait très fort les fruits de mer. Il faut aimer ça, sinon ça tombe sur le coeur. Celui de mon copain né goûtait pas grand chose.
Le service était bien sans être extraordinaire. Fait à noter, une des serveuses parlait français, chose rarissime dans le quartier chinois.
Le tout nous a coûté environ 30 $ (1 entrée, 2 soupes, 2 bubble teas). Ah oui! La caisse né prend que l’argent comptant.

Les nouilles sont fraîches faites sur place /​/​/​Noodles are fresh made here !

Ce nouveau resto offre des nouilles (ramen) fraîches faites à la main et apprêtées de 2 façons. Vous pouvez les déguster en soupe ou à la sauce. Le menu n’est pas très varié, mais les styles classiques y sont présent.
Fait assez intéressant, il est possible de voir le chef préparer les nouilles à travers une grande vitrine. C’est quand même impressionnant!
Ma copine a commandée un bol de nouilles avec sauce aux arachides accompagné de porc BBQ. Le plat était accompagné d’une petite soupe et nous avons reçu une entré de kimchi gratuite. Elle a été assez impressionnée par le goût. Rien d’exceptionnelle pour la sauce et le porc, mais les nouilles étaient très bien. Elles sont longues et la cuisson est bonne. La portion est pas trop mal, mais il manqué de porc (seulement 4 petits morceaux). Pour ma part, j’ai commandé un classique. Soupe de flancs de bœuf épicé. J’ai été impressionné. J’ai déjà mangé ce genre de bol de nouilles lorsque j’habitais à Vancouver et j’adorais. Le bouillon très bien réussi. Pas trop épicé, mais juste assez pour donner une petite chaleur. Le bœuf est correct. Il né faut jamais s’attendre a de la viande premier choix au quartier chinois. Je pense qu’il pourrait y avoir un peu plus de bœuf. Pour ce qui est des nouilles, elles sont aussi très longues et pas trop molles. Pour ma part, j’ai trouvé ça assez bon.
Nous recommandons ce restaurant et nous allons y retourner. Il n’y a pas beaucoup de nouilles fraîches asiatiques à Montréal alors profitez-​en! Un repas pour 2 vous coûtera environ 20 $.
