1871 Saint-Catherine St W, Montreal, Quebec H3H 1M2, Canada
Humble eatery dishing out familiar Chinese fare, with a focus on noodle & rice dishes.
I use to eat here regularly a few years back and though the food was never outstanding it was good. This last visit will sadly be my last. I had a tofu dish with tough overcooked or old tofu. A chicken dish that was also tough and overcooked and doughy soggy spring rolls. What happened Nouilles Star??
I went late night on Sunday. The service was quick and the portion was very generous. For what you pay, you get a lot. We took the rest to go since it was a lot. They give spices on the side as well which is nice.
Great place if you’re really hungry but don’t want to spend too much, the meals are very filling and sooo tasty, the people working there are nice, the ma po tofu is to die for!
I was disappointed by the service. The food is affordable, and the service is mid, as you'd expect from a place like this. However, I feel like staff shouldn't be demanding a certain amount of tips if the service does not deserve it. Truly unprofessional. They argue with you and demand more tips. As an alternative for cheap food I'd recommend restaurant GUAN!
The food was good, the service is average, the place was below average. It’s a cheap place where u can eat for 15$ Make sure not to order too much, we were just 2 people and we asked the waitress if what we ordered was ok for 2 guys she said yes 👍 we finally went home with food for another 2 people.
Hot sour soup is an absolute favorite! General Tao chicken.... THE BEST 10 out of 10! Chinese broccoli with mushrooms and garlic. (options available no garlic, no mushrooms regular broccoli..., ask and they'll explain various options) chow mein with veggies or other options, crispy spicy fried pork (not shown) and vegetable spring rolls, another option is pork spring rolls very crispy/delicious.... excellent flavours always perfectly prepared! You can always ask for more spicy or less, large portions, very pleasant waiters and waitresses, great service! Give them a try! Very busy place, very fast preparation of dishes! Give them a chance! You will become a regular!!!😋😋😋😋😋 🍚🍜🍤🍲🥕🥦🥬
Fast. Filling. Cheap. Good. I think that's the way that the restaurant owners would like this review. Last time I went, we ordered and in less than five minutes, our order was on our table and we were digging into. I've been here quite a few times because it's fast. The servings are fairly large -- big enough for two, and it's cheap. $13.50 for dinner for two if you keep your demands low. And it's good. Not quite up to the standards that my father used to make at home, but it's pretty darn good. Not a lot of atmosphere -- well, there actually is a lot of atmosphere. It's bustling, it's busy, and it's fast, filling, cheap and good food. That's atmosphere enough. I liked it so much, I took a friend of mine from San Diego there for dinner.
Hands down easily the Best Asian eatery in the Guy Concordia area. Tasty dishes, very generous servings and no crazy pricing like other newly opened Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. The service is also quick and good. This place is famous for their general tao and the beef on hot plate is also fabulous; the crispy noodles is the stuff that dreams are made of with thick gooey gravy and succulent shrimp and meat slices. The peanut butter dumplings are also very good. Portions are very generous so you’ll surely leave with a doggy pack.
My wife and I love this little restaurant! The food is excellent and the portions very generous! Its not the fanciest place but what do we like there?
One of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. Never disappointed and super good!
Meat texture was not good at all! Very chewy!
One of the best service and Asian meals I have eaten in Montreal. We ordered several dishes and they were all very generous! I recommend! The quality was exceptional. Ill go back.
Very quick service and affordable Vegetarian options: Yes Food : 4/5 |
Good price, good meal
Best chicken pad thai in Montréal very large portions i love it!!!!
You should make sure you tip if you don t the owner will threaten you to be kicked out and embarrass you in front of everyone! I was a loyal costumer for two years and today he yelled at me and my partner and said if we don t tip 15% we will be kicked out,(we already had plans so we didn t have any options), and keep in mind this is NOT MENTIONED!!! Will NOT be going back Ps: the toilets are filthy and the servants are very grumpy
Excellent meals in a pleasant setting! The cuisine was refined, full of flavors and freshness. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly servers. The atmosphere was friendly and modern, ideal for having a good time. An address to recommend without hesitation!
Spicy Chicken general Tao is really delicious. Must try . Good food
Salt and pepper chicken is crazy good
The Sesame Chicken is amazing! The staff are very friendly and the service was fast. I highly recommend it!
I ate here about four months ago. I am shocked to see so many good reviews. We ordered the food, which came out maybe 3 minutes later, clearly having been re-heated. Which could have been fine, if it werent for the food being absolutely disgusting. And it was such a generous portion size. I ordered the pad Thai. It was clearly not fresh and just tasted strange, it was extremely orange. I was the only one who ate more than a few bites of my food, only because I cant afford to have a meal out and not eat all of it. Everyone else hated theirs and could not eat. When paying, my friends left a tip, but me and my boyfriend did not. The server then demands a tip but from BOTH parties at our meal. So my friends ended up feeling pressured to tip AGAIN (we didnt know but theyre both super non-confrontational), and my boyfriend and I had to tip. And normally Im extremely pro-tipping, but the server was rude and the food made me nauseated. I am not picky whatsoever. This is the worst restaurant I can remember eating at in a longggg time.
Theres nothing better for noodles!
Fast and delicious. Big portions to share.
Best quality for the price.
service, food, cleanliness .0/10 I dont advise you...
Very good food Large portions Fast and efficient service Food : 5/5
Best General Tao
Been going there for three years, food is mostly ok but got overcooked gen tao for first time, and very rude and aggressive treatment from a waitress id never seen, over three years my major problem is the service, waiters are pushy and rude often, the food and decor kept me going, but last time was too much, but since im the problem im going to give them a break from me, i work hard for my money, its not to get bullied when i am a kind generous person on top of it....
If you are looking for something quick and affordable. This is the place, great for dinning in or take out. The general Tao is the best in the city.
Use to be a classic, still is good value for the price and great schedule close late all week... But the food taste is not as delicious as it used to be... Not delicious anymore but practical option if hungry late or on a budget.
im cantonese/chinese and i came with my non-asian partner for the first time to try this restaurant. we ordered two appetizers: (1) the crispy spinach (i had no idea what this was and curious to try it because he loves it), and (2) peanut butter wontons (again, not my thing and something i wouldnt order but he loved it). i had the beef chow fun and added broccoli (+$3) for veggies. i found that nouilles star was nice in that, it catered to both our palettes -- mine being more traditional chinese, and his being more westernized. the service was SUPER fast - all our dishes came out in 5 minutes, with generous portions. we finished the appetizers and went home with leftovers of the noodles. our total with tax + tips came to $39. definitely a spot to come to if youre looking for quick, tasty chinese food. although its staffed by cantonese chinese folks, its definitely more westernized than others. great spot for groups and families to share lots of dishes
Cheap: Yes. Tasty: No. Food
Just as I remember it in the early 2000s. If it aint broke, dont fix it lol. Best General Tao Chicken.
Very good and inexpensive
The food is good and the portions huge, all for an extremely reasonable price!
The food was super nice (we highly recommend the sesame chicken), the dishes were VERY big (better to share) and good price. We went there as a family of 5 who eat quite a lot, we ordered 4 dishes as we saw they were big and left perfectly satisfied. They were incredible quick (less than 10 minutes) and super nice.
I ordered with uber eats tonight. It wasnt very good, skip this place.
Good food, but surface is not
Both my partner and I got mild food poisoning after eating at that place. Service is indeed fast, but Id rather it to take a bit longer and safer.
What Japanese cuisine... lol!
The food is rich, at very affordable prices and the service is quick although smiling at the customer sometimes helps the customer feel more comfortable.
Okay for Chinese food if you are a tourist but not the real thing.
Old male waiter is forcing you to give more tips. Sometimes they already put tip included. Super disrespectful.
My girlfriend and I both got food poisoning here.
Hearty dishes and really inexpensive Ok service and a bit cold atmosphere Very nice though to eat something at a low price
The best fried calamari ever
Very good place! The waiting time is not too long and the food is tasty.
Its excellent and the portions are very generous. The cooks are very skillful and fast. The prices are very advantageous, its not expensive at all! To try as soon as possible for those who have never been there! Its delicious ;-) Update: Saturday August 3 around 8:30 p.m., I ordered a take-out Thai shrimp fried rice for a friend, and when it opened later they noticed that it was chicken. Be careful to look closely at what you are served! Vegetarian options: There are dishes with only vegetables Kid-friendliness: Yes
Excellent, gourmet dish at a good price.
Good quantity good quality good price, I have been coming here for years and it is always excellent, you should not rely on the decoration or the welcome which is often cold from the servers
Nice place and cheap meals
The best food Ive had for a long time. Everything is so fresh and tasty. I recommend the spaghetti Fujiyama
Go there if you want mid to mediocre service and ok food. The man waiting was rude, nonchalent and overall just seemed annoyed by everything. Mind you I dont have standards that high when it comes to service but this was something. However the prices are v low and the food came in less than 20 minutes. He gets verbal if you dont add tip even though its literally an option, must not understand that good service compensation is earned
Excellent restaurant.
Lack of respect, insulting communication
Food ok but the service is too bad. Damage.
Second visit. First time was about 2 months ago.at that time I would have rated the experience 4 star. Last night 4 of us went back. Seems like maybe the main cook had left. Food was terrible for all 4 diners. Loaded with undercooked broccoli Tofu dish which previously was succulent was dry and tasted like leftovers. My noodle sauce had wierd cheesy flavor. Another diner had seafood which was 3rd rate at best. No AC. Server was very nice. However another guy was extremely rude & disrespectful of customers. Constsantly shouting. Very very disappointing. Would not go back.
Absolutely amazing restaurant. Ive come here many times and never had a bad experience. The food is amazing and always served really fast, no complaints.
Great chinese food at affordable price, quick and friendly service.
Food is great and it comes fast but their service is horrible and waiters are very rude I recommend the black pepper pieces of meat in the photo Food
The best, most amazing, cheap, tasty, and enjoyable chinese take-out. If you need a place to feed 3 hungry male teenagers on a budget, this is the place to go.
Worst pad thai no salt, no flavour,just like oil mix with it no sauces what pad thai has only one star for giving the order fast and making it worst
super good and good service
Well I dined here recently and the food was bloody awful , so bad ....I didnt even leave a tip ....the pad Thai tasted like KRAFT DINNER ...This is unacceptable !!! For the very expensive prices they now charge ....I expect much better than this .....and not much of a portion on my plate . I seriously doubt I will ever dine here again ......they just dont care about their patrons enough . Dont eat here!!! It Suxx now
I like this place because it s cheap and the service is effective. I definitely recommend the #69 The spicy fried shrimps it s definitely my favourite. The pad thai on the other hand isn t the best (personally). I also advise you to call 20 minutes before going to the place since it s often full.
So greasy the noodles I asked, really disappointed
Wheelchair accessibility: I did nit see wheelchair accessibility, seat Food
PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN TIME
Not 5 stars it s a 10 !! I came to this restaurant 10-15 years ago and Wow it has become even better!! All the dishes are generous and tasty Congrats to Joséphine, Wing and all the cooking Team ! If someone has a complaint please stay home, as you have no values. If anyone wants to complain, stay at home because you lack the know-how!! Wow, a wonderful birthday dinner for me!!
The staff were nice. Food was delicious . At the end the staff gave us fortune cookies.
Classic Thai and Korean fusion
I will never set foot there again. It was disgusting.
Great vegetarian mapo tofu and good portion for the price. The service was quick and the place is nice.
Service was waaaaayyy below standard. No courtesy, no eye contact, nothing. Just push your meal to you at the table. At the end, a worker just came and shoved the card on the table and walked away. As soon as I tapped she reappeared and just took the machine. I gave zero tip because there was nothing to reward. I do not reward poor service. The food was ok, but we will never go back there. Our concierge at our hotel told us that the food was good but the atmosphere is questionable. He was right.
Amazing asian food, amazing diversity for vegetarian options. Amazing price.
lovely customer service.
I used to grab the general tao from that place well over 13 years ago and it used to be one of my favorite Chinese eateries. 13 years later and the food is still amazing! Seems like this restaurant has paused time and prices (general tao for $13) and kept the great quality in the food and service. I was there yesterday and tried the general Tao (of course), some veggies spring rolls and beef and broccoli. Everything, and I mean everything was made fresh, tasted amazing and was just spicy enough. If you havent tried this gem yet, youre missing out. Will I go back? 100% yes!
The egg fried rice is just a bunch of plain white rice and one egg. Food came with human hairs included. Shrimps with poop still inside. Disgusting! Wouldn t buy never again.
They served me almost raw processed simili chicken in my soup. I emphasis the almost raw chicken. Made my meal absolutely disgusting. They get 2 stars because the broth itself was ok. Also, on the takeout side, the place is absolutely filthy. Never getting anywhere near that place again.
TO BE TRIED AMAZING
Cheap and good food
Stayed at a b & b nearby and ate here twice in one weekend. The sweetest staff, best food and at such a good price point. Make sure to try the Chinese broccoli!
Pretty good, scratched the Chinese food itch
Is not about the place but the food. The hot pan of seafood was incredibly tasty. Superb sauce and a great price!
Very Crowded but amazing food! U cant go wrong when ordering here but dont count on getting parking that is near impossible. Parking: There is no parking!!!
A great place to eat, good value, wide range of choices (>100), quick service and large portions. The food was tasty, the peppered pork was so good. It was pretty crowded but we were seated within 5 minutes and our order was taken in ~5 minutes after seating. The entrees come with rice, and the entree size is enough for two so Id suggest starting off with one to share and order more if still hungry.
Food is good for its price but the service is atrocious. The server gave us the wrong bill and even had the audacity to make us pay him the correct bill before giving us a cash refund. He kept cussing as he gave me the new corrected bill but the machine wasn t working properly either so I had to pay the split bill whole. I swear if I hadn t finished my food yet, he would have spit on it. Don t get the old guy waiter. His service is horrible. He can t even get the cash register to work.
Best General Tao in Montreal. The food is always fresh and have some of the best soups. The Cantonese Wonton is best on cold and rainy days.
we are six people all had food poisoning after had dinner there! never go
Authentic asian taste
Placed an order an hour ago for pick up and no one called, emailed or messaged that the food was ready. It was sitting there for 30 minutes, makes no sense as a business.
Excellent.
the food is delicious! and the portions are huge, especially for the price, i typically get the beef fried rice and i have food for 3 meals Wheelchair accessibility: not wheelchair accessible, the restaurant is very small and doesnt have the space for a wheelchair unless you go into the actual restaurant area.
This place has great food.me personally I really love the general Tao chicken and egg fried rice they have great staff and really fast service the food comes out piping hot and its so good thank you Star noodle for providing great food and great service over the years
Star noodles have been a classic for a very long time. The food is good
Place is a bit shabby but the food and service were fine. Not impressive but adequate for the price. I would go again if it was on my way.
Seriously, the restaurant is really dirty, look at the mature interact machine which has never been washed, and the restaurant has been condemned for uncleanliness
Fast and delicious, the price is very good, I highly recommend this place to eat
Nouilles Star is the place to be ! Cheap and good quality food. My friend and I ordered the specialty rice (shrimps, beef, chicken) and the general tao which were great for the price (payed 15 dollars per per person). The portions are huge ! We took half of the dish back home and ate it the next day (it was better). The only thing that bothered me was the shrimps, they were kind of cold, and the spices were lacking. A part from these details, I recommend you to go to this restaurant if youre a student searching for a cheap and good asian style restaurant (especially before a night out).
The food is really disgusting. General tao is served while still frozen.
Nice vegan options. Grab it now. Kid-friendliness: Yes, it is available for kids to seet. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is good.
The food is super delicious, good portions.
Everything was good.
Food quality and value is good for a fast food asian restaurant. However, our experience was ruined by an unprofessional, inexperienced and rude waitress who clearly is unable to multi-task and that needs to learn how to speak to customers. When we asked to speak to a manager she refused and pretended to be a manger. Clearly that role is out of her reach at the moment and she will need a lot of training to come up to that level. I would only recommend this restaurant for takeout.
pad Thai is amazing and they serve it in a big portion enough for two.
Delicious hot food and good prices. Very fast service. I have been going to this restaurant for several years and have never been disappointed!
Food was average. Bad service. Only one person is working and is super busy.
Food is mid, service is so bad, uncle waiter acts as if we owe him money loll, please avoid
Bad food, bad service. Taste like paint. Do not eat here! Food
Good prices and the people there are really nice.
Rude customer service
The soups were so disgusting that we didnt eat them.
The food is good . But the service is very poor and the order taking person so rude to us .
Tasty without breaking the bank
Came here with my mom she ordered Fried Spring Roll and Peanut Butter Chicken sauce and a side of steam rice all her food was cold she returned it and they just warmed it up in the microwave. Other customers around us was complaining abt their food aswell. I got Fry Beef Noodle that was hot no problem but I ordered an app Fried Dumplings and that was small not much inside and cold aswell. I will not come back and wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. Giving 2 star because my main meal was hot.
Cute and cheap but delicious Asian food! Had the Thai style curry beef and it was delicious, but the house fried rice is very different.
The food is tasty and the portions are large. Most dishes can be made vegan, but you need to ask.
I had a beef noodle, it was ok taste. But no side herbs nor chilly peppers like other Vietnam noodle restaurant. Service is questionable - the guy was very impatient and almost rude. Definitely not comeback.
Never have I had something saltier, thought I was boutta get a kidney stone. Like how u gonna make a soup based dish and yet make the soup so salty you can t even drink it. Servers hella rude too. So disappointing and sad.
So good! All around delicious.
Its delicious and affordable, and its very popular. There are people waiting for a table at 11 oclock in the evening.
Food is ok. Portions are big for the price. A lot of choices available, ask the waiter gives the best recommendations. They used to only accept cash but now they accept cards too! Service is really fast and efficient. Food
It was very late and we were lucky to find this restaurant. There is really a lot to choose from, all at very affordable prices. We liked our meal, we will come back.
Pre pandemic, this was my go to late-night food spot. Since then, the hours and quality have changed. I no longer find the good palatable and was really disappointed by my last visit. I understand that times are tough and will continue to support to hope that it one day returns to its original quality.
Amazing food, big quantities. I had the chow mein with extra chicken, it was delicious. If it werent for the carbs, I would come here daily.
I like very good and affordable.
The food is amazing. My guilty pleasure
Soup and Noodles is still great but the last couple times Ive been the whole place smells like a toilet. I thought it was a one time accident but a month later the smell was there. Really the worst smell to have in a restaurant. Sad but I dont think Im going back.
Its not the most beautiful place but food is delicious.
Great place. Vegetable rools are excellent. Salt and pepper shrimps are excellent. Peanut butter tofu too! Fast service. Consistent dishes. I recommend. Food
Great take away!!
BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT in MTL !!! The quantity they provide for the price is amazing and the taste is really good too. 10/10
Always good Chinese food and open late! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options (may be contaminated though) Food : 5/5 |
good taste....large quantity...reasonable price!!! .....I havent found a better general tao!!!
We went 2 times last week and it was excellent every time! Good portion and a really good price!
Very good place! Thank you for friendly service, for pitcher of water! Everything was tasty and very big portion!
Meh service was FAST! And good. Big portions of food. But not a fan of the food itself it was just not for me
Good little local eatery with a broad menu.
Worse soup Tonkinoise I ever had. The rolls were as terrible as the soup. Zero flavor. Although I was the only customer for lunch it took them forever.
One of the best Asian restaurants in Mtl
Very simple but authentic place, plentiful and good
Paid 15$ for 10 small shrimps and waiter was not happy with the 0$ tip. I offered 5$ and she told me it was not enough. Lost 5$ and customers that day.
Fried Rice of Life Delicious everything is great
I liked everything about this place. Great food, great portions, great service, great hours, great location. Will definitely be coming back!
Zero customer service, zero food quality. Ordered a tom yum soup with tofu, it was all tomato paste and water. The most disgusting Tum Yum ever. Also tried the tofu curry. Cane in a HUGE dish, tofus were very old, not freshly done Nd the veggies and curry so tasteless. I left the dishes and told the waiter/ manager how awful the food is. He said he is not the boss therefore he doesn t care. It is what it is! .
The food has deteriorated. It is no longer the same as in previous visits, good service
Their prices are still surprisingly still very low considering inflation. Can t complain when the price is this low. The food was actually very fresh and tasty for what they charge. I really enjoyed dinning at this place, the waiters were very kind. There was this one starter, peanut butter dumplings. Omg you have to try it, that was so good. Their spring rolls were the best i ever had. The portion sizes are so big, you will not finish your food, I had to take mine to go. Good asian food, will be back!
I didnt like it very much. The food was cold and somewhat dry. I really dont recommend going.
Great food
The general tao was good and the salt and spice squid too, very good price and the staff was courteous.
Food is on point and at the right price. Always come here when I m craving good food.
Yummy. Food is tasty.
All the dishes we choose were prepared extremely fast. They all tasted great. Service was really excellent and staff were extremely courteous, warm and friendly. We ate everything!
The staff is very friendly, the portions are good and the food delicious, Poulet General Tao is a 10/10. Tip: order several dishes and share with your friends
The staff is super friendly and nice. The food is delicious and the portions are very good, the best is the spicy chicken. Vegetarian options: spring rolls
Maybe I came on a bad day, but the food was nothing special, flavor wise, and I suspect the plate wasnt properly washed, because the food tasted slightly of soap.
Degeulasse
Best pad Thai and best general tao in town
