| - I was wandering through Montreal trying to kill time (and also got a bit hungry as it was around lunchtime), so finding some generally positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to try Nu-Do.
As people before me have said, the big draw to this place was that they have hand-pulled noodles. I really liked how their noodles were made to order; the noodle guy came out from around back to make the noodles as I finished ordering. This guy was by no means an expert noodle-puller (an expert would've been much faster), but they were cooked just right (not too mushy and not undercooked), and the beef was also very well cooked. The soup has gotten many compliments here, but it seemed pretty standard to me - however, I did like that it is less salty than most other places, so you can really pick out other flavours in the broth.
Portion size-wise, I thought it was a perfect size: just enough to make you feel satisfied without being overly full.
As others have also touched on, the only drawback was the wait. I went on a Friday afternoon (about 1:30pm, so after the lunch rush), and still had to wait a bit before I could eat - on the one hand, it's understandable because it's made to order, but it's also in a food court, so you would expect a bit more expediency in the food prep. After I had ordered, and before I got my food, there was a sizeable crowd of people also waiting...I can't imagine how they deal with an actual lunchtime crowd!
Price-wise, I paid a bit over $10 for a bowl of beef noodle soup.
Overall though, it's a good place to eat if you want something tasty, not super-filling, and have a bit of time to spare.
