Noodle Factory



1018 Saint-Urbain
(514) 868-9738

Wonder why my blog is named addicted to ramen? Wonder no more!
it is because i love ramen and noodles in general (so happy i found a background with soba <3)
When you are a drama addict like i am, you always salivate when you watch the characters eat ramen! (i.e.: Gokusen, Ramen Girl, Boys Before Flower kor)
Therefore, my sister and i decided to google up some ramen/noodle shops!
We stumbled upon Noodle Factory located in good ol' Chinatown, just in front of the bakery Harmony!

Ambience
As you can see in the picture above, there is a chef that is preparing noodles and dumplings right in front of your eyes! (behind a glass window for sanitary reasons of course).
How many restaurants do you know that prepares food right in front of you! not many i am sure!
It may well be called Noodle "Factory", it is rather small compare to an actual factory.
It can seat up to 30 people. Quite small but they do have air cons and the feeling is amazing when you finish a big bowl of ramen with well-earned sweat! (at least that's the way i feel..)
I would say small but cozy.

Food
LOVE IT!
However, some have said it lacked seasoning and taste. It really comes down to how "seasoned" you like things to be.
I found it just perfect and anyways, the point of eating noodles is not to drink the broth but to enjoy the noodles and toppings! Not to say that there isn't more than one way to eat noodles!

Must try
- #22 Pork and Spicy vegetables noodles
-#3 Fried spring onion pancakes

Price
I found it very reasonable. A big bowl of ramen for 6.95$ and the pancakes were 3$.

OVERALL RATING

10/10

Generous portions for a small price! I'd say if you don't have a big appetite to share the bowl of ramen and take some appetizers. And if you do share, they will make the bowl a bit bigger ;)

  1. I like this place but it's next to possible to get in during typical meal times due to the small space and eager eaters willing to lineup. Besides the hand-pulled noodles, I like the pot stickers and little dragon buns here.
