Zen Noodles in Châteauguay

Jai souvent commandé des plats à emporter dans ce petit restaurant chinois familial, et cette fois, jai décidé de manger sur place. La soupe wonton était délicieuse, les nouilles Fujiyama savoureuses, et le poulet Général Tao parfaitement croustillant. Le personnel est incroyablement amical et attentionné. Un endroit chaleureux que je recommande vivement !

I ordered for delivery The lady I spoke to was super nice , she took the time to answer all my questions because it was my first time and I didnt have a menu with me, I had was referred by 2 friends for general tao I ordered wonton soup (excellent), egg rolls (very good) peanut butter dumplings (wow), general tao chicken (excellent) and they added steamed rice and fortune cookies without me asking, very appreciated and they are generous with the sauces on the side The cost is affordable for the quantity and quality of the food in addition to the kindness of the staff Thank you Zen Noodles Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian combo option to choose from. Parking: There are a few places but always room

Tasty food and good value for money

A first visit, delicious chicken with peanut sauce, good portion!! Im currently on crutches, the waitress took care of it after I was seated, a second waitress opened the doors for me, thank you very much!!

Ordered for over 10 years, always very good. Mr who takes orders is always on duty and delivery is still within the mentioned deadlines otherwise it is before time!! THANKS !!

What a find. Appetizing variety of dishes for all tastes.

We liked the place. For the price, the portion sizes are very respectable and it was tasty.

They told me that the delivery are not going to deliver food to my house, because I didn t tip them last time they came.

Called for delivery and they advised it was a minimum of 1 hour. Driver shows up 2 hours after my order with luke warm food. At least call the customer and say your running late, we had a family with kids to feed before bedtime.

I will never understand why there are bad reviews, the food is excellent, several years ordering the general tao, beef fried rice, BUT I tried the salt and pepper shrimp, A MUST, very good (with fried rice with beef) The lady on the phone is super nice, and the gentleman is super helpful too, well done!

Good food and good service

Nice space but a little small, the people are friendly and the food is delicious, you can order several dishes to share

The food is very good but the service is lousy. I arrived to order takeaway food, the boss was super nice, but there was a lady who looked at me with a tight expression. I sit on the restaurant side to wait for my order and she tells me in a straightforward manner to move to sit on the bench. I would like to point out that on the restaurant side there were no customers seated, it was empty and there was an employee who was sitting eating. The employee can sit but not the customer? Never seen before. There is already a way to talk to your customers. I was addicted to this restaurant because of its good food but this is the last time I will set foot there.

Ive ordered from this restaurant via Uber eat several times and Ive rarely had any problems! Recently they decided that deliveries would be made by THEIR EMPLOYEES although Auber is still the intermediary platform! You should know that when we pay on Uber, we are charged a delivery fee ($4)! So I ordered and I never tip before having had my meal because the tip depends on the service, but this restaurant called me several times and I ended up picking up. That s when the lady on the line explains to me that if I don t tip, she won t make my delivery and that I have to pay the delivery guy s gas!!! I explain to her that I never give it before and that it remains optional, that what she is doing is blackmail, and that it is illegal!! PLEASE NOTE THAT DELIVERY COSTS ARE PAYABLE AT THIS STAGE!!!! I also tell her that it is up to them to pay for the gas of their delivery people and not to the customers... she continues by telling me that I must tip or she will not deliver anything to me!!! I maintain my position and explain to him that tipping is voluntary and that it depends on the service. She maintains her position, I inform her that I am going to file a complaint at this stage because it becomes abuse, there is an element of illegality and blackmail in her comments I hang up! A few minutes later she calls me back and says she will deliver but next time if I dont tip before receiving my order, she wont!!!! Result: I didnt leave a tip because of the persistence, the blackmail, the lack of respect... the food was good, I would have left a tip without all this story, in short, if its for a delivery, be wary because they take you for their employers who owe them pay!!

Excellent food

Ordered on Sunday. Placed order in afternoon for a 18:30 delivery time. Food got there at 19:00 and I was missing my eggrolls. Called store to advise them and they sent a driver with my missing food, however, he did not arrive for another 25 minutes. At this point, we were already finished eating. Pretty disappointed and wont order again

Good dishes and several choices, very good

Good food, fast and pleasant service! This is our go to takeout Asian food restaurant in Chateauguay.

My husband and I live 30 minutes away from this location but it is the BEST Chinese food ever!!! The tofu is a 10/10. I love their general Tao tofu, most places make it spicy but here it is sweet and delicious! Always lots of leftovers!

It s the only restaurant where the next day I get indigestion or vomit.

Service was fast and exact. The food was pretty awful. The crispy sesame beef was soggy and there was barely any beef, all dough. It was doused in the sweetest sauce ever. It made me nauseous it was so sweet. The garlic spare ribs were even sweeter and didnt even taste like garlic. The general tao wasnt crispy and there was way too much sweet sauce. It wasnt even spicy at all. The chicken fried rice was OK, but the chicken was rubbery. The spring rolls tasted as if the veggies went bad inside. Wont eat there again. Im feeling terrible after this meal.

Very good quantity and very good experience veggie option available

They put me on the blacklist without explaining why, even though I always paid and tipped. Hanging up on me without explanation is really a lack of respect.

This place is just great. Friendly staff, good food, fast service.

Update: The quality is back to what it used to be! (2023) Went from a 4.5 to a 3 star since the pandemic. Its a shame, this was my spot for Chinese in Chateauguay! Very friendly staff and service, just now lacking in quality a bit.

I ordered a lot a time and its good insteand one time my general tao was hers and i found a bone

Perfect take out food experience in Châteauguay, I love the options and Chow Mein makes me happy. Day after day I love this place and if theres a movie night with friends were sure to stop and grab some Nouille Zen on the way home. Its only takeout and cash only so prepare adequately. Do give it a shot And as always Thank you

Ordered a simple hot and sour soup. First time ive ever seen a watered down version with absolutely zero consistency. No idea how this left the kitchen. Terrible.

Food is great

Best place for general tao

I love their breaded chicken wings, big fan

Excellent! 4x that I order and 4x very satisfied plus the prices are affordable

My favorite place !!!

Quite ordinary

Best soup in Châteauguay and surrounding areas!

You cannot eat on site, take out only. Ordering in advance is strongly recommended. Payment only by cash. The meal was good.

Their General Tao Chicken doesnt have chicken. I ordered a few times and its always a disappointment

I cant wait to see the dining room of this restaurant open again, which currently only offers take out.

Everything I have eaten at this place is super good, fresh and the service is excellent. Best Chinese restaurant I have eaten at. I recommend it to anyone who wants good Chinese food.

Ordered food they said about 1hr for delivery. After 2hrs I called back they said they forgot about the order so I just cancelled it at that point... 3 weeks later I try to order again AND THEY BAN MY ADDRESS??? lol Not right on their part They forgot about the order so what Im suppose to still take it after 2hrs? very ban service IMO

I tried this place for the first time today and I was very impressed ! I ordered a wonton soup and the Shanghai noodles and they were both very delicious and had great flavours, very typical to those dishes. They also have bubble teas which I ordered as well. Also, their prices are very affordable and the portion sizes are very generous !

Really very satisfied!! Quantity and price really good.

Perfect comfort food every once in a while. Ive been ordering here for years and always got great service in restaurant or phone service. Delivery is fast too, when theyre busy they give their E.T.A. Keep it up guys! Ive had their shrimp pad thai, won ton soup, beef and broccoli, general tao, fried rice and veggies with shrimp.. and a few more dishes. Very good.

This place has the best chinese food nearby. Dont forget to ask them to put some hot spice too. Its will bring good flavors.

The noodles tasted like old mop water.

Regular customer here, at least was...Quality has gone down, house rice is not well mixed, has chunks of partially uncooked, unseasoned rice, and dry. Was one of my my favourites. Another fave: Pad Thai: less tasty and not mixed well too . General tao has little chicken. Still not that good since at least a year. Will take a break, and try again in 9-12 months.

So, GOOD! ....

Good food, good portions

Pretty good food, friendly staff but they dont take debit cards which is a big disadvantage in my opinion

Going back tonight

There is a variety of menus and very good but you have to pay cash only

Got the Special Pho soup and peanut butter dumplings. Would not reccomend.

For General Tao, it is the best in the entire Montreal region Affordable and large portion

Excellent service, hot and delicious food!

The portion is amazing and the pad thai is really good. I wasnt a fan of the peanut butter dumplings but overall very tasty and the price is worth it. Not expensive at all and one portion can be split between 2 people.

it was the first time I ordered from there, the soup meal is great and super generous portion, the general tao chicken is delicious, lots of choices on the menu

I am pleasantly surprised by the meal the Thai pha with shrimp and the ravioli and dumplings were delicious and the addition of soy and spicy sauces on the side, you are thoughtful people because I often forget to ask for it. I would like to say thank you very much.

Great spot, and funny/friendly staff!

Always pay cash at some point dont always count on us you should have debit machines I dont know but do something

We come from Brossard and are used to going to the Bol DOr so this is our reference for comparison. The portions were good but the taste was quite ordinary, very simple. Some dishes were too greasy.

The food is okay, nothing more. I find the food a bit bland. I had a chicken fried rice, I found it sorely lacking in taste, padthai ok nothing more.

Worst experience EVER. This place is absolutely horrendous. I went today to pick up some food and I was greeted with very sour looks instead of a smile by what seemed to be the owners of the place since their son was there. I was in a good mood and I remained extremely polite. I looked at the menu on the wall and started placing my order while asking certain questions which the man proceeded to answer. He then got a call and I continued to look at the menu. The woman then took over but very rudely asked If I was done, if I want anything else . I said yes and that I had a question . She replied with a very aggressive tone yes I m here to answer your question . Implying that I shouldn t wait until her husband was done on the phone to finish placing my order. I was taken aback by the aggressiveness but continued to place my order nonetheless. The man finished on the phone and took over. I asked if the beef in oyster sauce had any vegetables inside. He replied no, that it was just the beef. So I ordered that along with a large soup, a plate of shrimp and veggies, egg rolls and some crunchy noodles for the soup, which of course are an extra charge of over a dollar. My total was around $50. I waited for the food and when I left, I said thank you. No reply from either of them. EXTREMELY bad customer service. You would think that people in this industry would be kinder to the people who are pretty much their bread and butter. BUT THAT S NOT ALL! I arrived home to find that the beef in oyster sauce that supposedly had no veggies, was DRENCHED in onions and was sitting on a bed of lettuce. As far as I m concerned, those are vegetables. I don t mind the lettuce but I cannot stand onions and I know I m not the only one so that s definitely something that should be mentioned to people when they are ordering a plate and bother asking what s in the dish. The egg rolls were completely stale, so much so that when they broke, you could see how the dough had become white. It honestly looked like they had refried the egg rolls from a couple days ago. And lastly, when I looked at the crunchy noodles I paid for for the soup, I realized there was about 10 noodles in the bag. Not even enough to be considered 2 tbsps.. which is ridiculous considering the price they charge for them. So not only was the customer service complete garbage but the food was subpar and full of negative surprises. With the amount of competition in the area in Asian restaurants, these people should definitely try harder, in every sense of the word. HORRIBLE. To be avoided . Take your money elsewhere.

VERY GOOD!

I appreciated being told in advance that it was cash only. No up-to-date prices on the web so expect a surprise when you pay unless you ask for the amount in advance. I was told in about 20 minutes, it was ready at 25, so its good. It was very hot. A little chaotic to leave the bag on a table and you see your lunch but you cant pay until the other guy gives his order. I had the exact money luckily. Call ahead like any restaurant in Châteauguay apparently. I asked for spicy, nothing. I asked for with utensils, no utensils. Very frustrating because I didnt have any utensils with me and I realized this at home. Very salty and despite the appearance of a large portion, very little protein. Disappointed, but I would try the more meat only dishes to better gauge the portions.

I have always ordered on the website, but yesterday I was surprised by the poor quality of the food, tasteless homemade rice, no meats, no vegetables, quantities reduced to half of what we ordered and long waiting time. my family was disappointed.

Rude staff. I had a problem with my order last night, I called to tell them and the gentleman who answered offered to credit me for next time. Today I went and the women who gave me the order looked so angry and called me to show me what they were giving me and telling me..to check. To check in an irritated tone...very ordinary in his tone as if I had invented the story. The food is not the best but the attention is even worse. It was my last time in this place for me. It would be much simpler to accept our mistakes and not lose customers.

The chicken pad thai and the general thao are a real delight good for the quality and very reasonable price! without a doubt I wont go anywhere else since I discovered this place :)

I have been ordering food to take out on multiple occasions. I have never been deceived. Whenever I receive guests, I always order from them, none of my guests has ever been deceived either. The food is excellent and really reasonably priced. My favorite is their Tom Yom soup, its really a marvel. Thanks for your excellent work to all personnel. Your restaurant is an oasis in a desert!

Good food

Pay only in cash. Its not convenient. But the food is delicious

Had some food to go yesterday for my family and I... it tasted good but today everyone is super sick... never eating there again.

Busy, ordered for pick up said 30 mins had to wait 45 mins plus

Always impeccable.

I ordered beef broccoli, an order of mixed vegetables, order of spare ribs. The beef broccoli had mushrooms and carrots in it and the incorrect sauce. The mixed vegetables was all cabbage with 2 pieces of broccoli for 8.50$ and the 2 orders of spare ribs were in a smaller container than the 1st time i ordered and all the meat was chewy and gross. I will never order from them again. It took 1 hour and a half for delivery i gave the delivery driver a 5 dollar tip and did not even get a thank you. i was order number 104 on December 27th.

Good vegan options!

... Great taste! and Great Service .... ALWAYS! ...

Good food and lots of it!

They pretended to be Soup @Noodle on the phone. Very not cool as they should have stated who they actually were. We went to Soup @ Noodle to pick up our food to find out that Zen noodle was lying to us and pretending to be them. Seems like a way to scam and steal costumers from Soup @ Noodle

Love it! Flavorful, fresh food with generous portion sizes (and lots of veggies). Great for the price point and prompt delivery. I wish the bubble tea was with tapioca pearls, but we will be back!

Excellent value for money. The portions are very generous. General Thao chicken, their specialty, is particularly successful.

Surprising Very large portions SUBLIME vegetable and shrimp stir-fry

2nd time Im going there and I love it plus they have bubble tea on site mmmmm dont forget that these for money are not interac at the moment. Large portion. Seriously, I picked at my takeaway food when I was full and it looked like I hadnt eaten anything haha. Very good. The nice lady recommended the breaded garlic shrimp to me. Yum, delicious. I recommend. Ha and I hadnt called before and it was rather quick then. Yes, I would go back without hesitation. Ps dont forget to say that you put a mark on your tip when you order, they dont mention it

I ordered twice, mentioning what time I would be available to receive my order. Both times they delivered to me at the wrong time, so I couldnt eat. And I asked the woman on the phone at least 4-5 times.

Ugly. Tiny amount of meat in the orange beef and peanut sauce dumplings. The eggplant in yu Hsiang sauce was dipped in oil rather than sauce. The fried noodles with vegetables were not fried, just boiled and without seasoning, placed on the vegetables which were in a sort of transparent glutinous sauce without taste and not even salty. I understand cutting corners on ingredients due to financial difficulties, but the preparation was also neglected, and there was not a lot of traffic to justify it. Disappointing.

Good quality food !!

Fast service and very good value for money and quantity

found a dead fly in my food

Super good!

Last 2 times I wanted to go, there was a sign on the door saying you must order before going in and that they only take cash. But when you ask for a delivery, you can pay with a card. I used to love that place, now not so much.

Happy Chinese noodles!

Ok for quick.

Fast service and food is good

Fast delivery with good food

Pho soup is excellent

Not content with making lots of cash from people in Chateauguay, they let Uber, Skip and DoorDash enter their restaurant because they allow them to charge delivery costs and commission to customers. The commission is 15% then they increased their prices by 15% on these platforms. In addition, they fired the drivers who protested for such fraud and theft

The best in the end well done

Good variety, good food, quick service and friendly staff.

Terrible Peanutbutter Chicken. Tasted like the left over dishwater with orange food dye. The chicken was rather an amalgamation of cartilaginous fat.

Ive ordered dessert here twice and the dessert was dry and fruit smoothie wasnt really good ethier. Its not worth the price you pay for the food. I wouldnt come here for the food but I always feel obligated to purchase something to drink or eat if I bring my dog here but Ill stick to coffee next time...

Good and affordable

Its delicious and really inexpensive for the amount of food

Great teasti Great tasting food

Inexpensive Chinese food. Good for the price, however if you re looking for refined food/fine dining, this is not the place. Their dishes are heavy on sauces and noodles and low on protein. I would order again if I had a large crowd or kids to feed, but for my household I prefer to spend a bit more and get healthier and more refined dishes.

Used to be a regular customer and people were always helpful when I asked for modifications of menu items (such as replacing rice in combos with another item from their menu). Keep in mind I am accepting paying extra for that, as I am aware the cost is different. This time, the guy taking the order, which said he was the places manager, said what I was asking was not possible at all, paying extra or not (the item I am requesting is in the menu...), that the last three times I had ordered this successfully was a mistake from their employee or that Im wrong. Well maybe you should learn from your own employees resourcefulness, because you lost 50$ not willing to accommodate the change, which was not requiring any special items to be made. ill take my business elsewhere, thank you.

Excellent

At the beginning the quality and taste was superior since the change of ownership the quality, service and taste left something to be desired

Good food. Packed well

Good Chinese food and open early.

5 stars tells it all! Sur la coche!

Very good. Good quality.

Not happy with the service and food i received

Food quality and quantity excellent; pick up only during this pandemic . Can walk in and order to a max of 3 people then wait outside

It s worth the detour, I was told about his general tao combo and wowwww! Excellent, generous portion... well done

Ive been ordering here for a long time now (mainly the general tao combo) and the portions are generous and the food is very good. Won Ton soup is delicious! Good service

As authentic as you can get without over westernizing dishes. Online ordering is very easy and quick!

Weve ordered for delivery a few times and its always delicious. I agree with some comments that its oily, yes it is but all Chinese food is mostly oily.. No complaints on flavor. We will continue to order for delivery and when theyll finally open the dining room well go to say Hi :)

Very good

Disgusting , Rice was sticky , The General Tao chicken had little bones in it. It was by far the worst $18 I spent. I also found out after multiple people have gotten food poisoning from here

This place deserve to be known. Quality food, good portions, very carefull service and truly decent prices.

Not very good to much greece....

I am always very satisfied when I go to Nouilles Zen. Fast, courteous and enthusiastic service, good tasty portions and reasonable prices!

Great and fast service. I ordered food to be picked up, in less than 15mins it was ready. Today i ordered food to be delivered and it was here in about 20mins. Food is great.

Great service. The man at the counter was very polite and the bubble teas are excellent. Only disappointment is that the balls were not tapioca but otherwise A1

Amazing food excellent service the waitress super polite plus plus the food super super delicious

The customer service is not the best. They arent mean but theyre quite raw with customers. Ive ordered over the phone and they are more kind than in person (and maybe you disagree, but thats what I think). Also I eat a couple of times in their place but honestly I would suggest you to take out. The food is what make this place a good one. The prices are also beautiful. So three stars for the food and the prices (also delivery time). Let me know what you think!

Super nice and funny waitress! Very smiling too. She took the time to pronounce her words well when explaining certain dishes to us, it was obvious that French is not her mother tongue but she masters it :) she can also be very proud of the quantity of her dishes, that Its been a long time since I ate a meal as good as this. I cant wait for my next visit

Very good

Nice little reserved restaurant and nice food

I like going there for a quick meal in the company of another person.

I went there for an urgent need

Very good and very good price and huge meals

Must say I have order a few times and every time the food is hot and quite good. I went onsite for a pick up and was quite pleased with the restaurant. It was clean and welcoming. This isnt fine dining but decent Asian food for the price. Currently the best Asian option in Chateauguay.

Good and not expensive...you enter your money with the quantity...Asian as we Quebecers know it

The food is not that great and the owner charges more then the price on the menu

It was very good! Good quality! Everything tasted good! Big portions!!! I recommend a100/100!

Really very good and the price is very affordable. People are constantly coming in for take-out very surprising as a small restaurant. I approve and recommend

The food is excellent, the portions are very generous and the prices are also very affordable which makes it a first choice for this type of food.

Delicious food. Fast delivery.

Simply delicious and generous portion

Very good. Wow

Great food and service

The chicken was terrible. We barely ate. The chicken was rubbery and tasted like bleach! Very disgusting. Absolutely avoid! Just thinking about it makes my heart lift!

The two cooks who work here are both famous chefs who had worked in Chinatown for many years. The food here is fresh, not greasy at all, and is of the highest quality. This is without a doubt the best chinese restaurant in Chateauguy, and one of the best in Montreal.

Good Chinese food

Good, large portion, inexpensive

I love their Pad Thai

A delight every time.

Best fried dumplings in the area, Won Ton soup is delicious, General Tao crispy and flavourful, Cantonese mixed Chow Mein is full and hefty. Never had a bad order experience here, prices are good for Chinese takeout, portions are very large, one option is usually enough for a person or two.(The General Tao is especially generous.)

I ordered at 6 a.m. on a Sunday, it must have been busy, I asked the guy to put me some sriracha in a pot (its not on the menu) I was sure he wasnt going to put it in well TBK HE PUT IT IN WAS chu full happy esti thank you parcel plus the food arrived quickly very very hot and the delivery people fkg nice he had treats for my dog who was barking in tk chu vrm not disappointed

Good, cheap at lunchtime. Pleasant staff

Get the shrimp pad Thai if you want to projectile vomit
