"Intestines were well seasoned and authentic. Noodles right texture with good amount of meat. Seasoning just nice"

"We got a large beef noodles soup, and it was huge! Honestly, I think it could be a perfect plate for 3 people. The only thing we didn't like was that the portion of beef was so small for their biggest plate (110 g according to the waitress, which is only 3-4 thin pieces), so it's just like a lot of water and carbohydrates,but it lacks protein heavily. The flavor of the broth is amazing, the noodles are good, and the place is quiet. I'd suggest it is better to order several small sizes to get more protein."

"The broth was so good! We ordered the traditional and braised beef bowls, both medium sized. I thought it would be appropriately sized for my appetite but I was so wrong! The serving size is HUGE! I should have gotten small. I prefer the braised beef one as the beef was so flavorful and it complements the clear broth so well. Definitely worth it"

"Diner and a show! Enjoy your meal while watching the chef make the noodles a few feet away from you, right there in the kitchen! Fair warning: a small bowl is big!! I’ve been here a handful of times and have never been disappointed. Ask the staff to recommend what type of noodle best suits you and enjoy a warm bowl of comfort"

"A year ago I was enchanted by this place and I gladly returned to it again during my next trip. The service is very nice and smiling. Traditional Hand-Pulled Noodles are delicious!! The portions are huge and please think 100 times before you choose a large portion, it is best to talk to the service who will show you in what dishes they are served, it helps a lot in choosing!! Definitely a place I recommend"

"Absolutely loved this place! I visited Le Mien Craft Noodle while exploring the ByWard Market area in Ottawa, and it did not disappoint. The hand-pulled Lanzhou noodles were delicious — the broth was flavorful, the beef was tender, and the portion was HUGE (seriously, bigger than my face!). I also tried the marinated mushrooms, and they were super tasty too. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in both their food and their service. If you’re in Ottawa and craving authentic Chinese noodles, this is a must-visit. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in town!"

"Authentic Chinese hand pulled noodles! The flavor was amazing and you can watch the chef hand pull the noodles in front of you. We got the edamame, bean jelly noodles, noodles with bean sauce, and the Chinese style hamburger. All were freshly made and delicious. Highly recommend if you’re in the area."
