The Restaurant Noodle Factory was a surprise! It was a tiny place located away from the other restaurants, next to a massage parlor. We went there only because it was directly across our hotel and we were too tired to walk any further. At first, there wasn't a lot of people dining there, but by the time we left, the restaurant was packed. I guess we were lucky to have beaten the dinner crowd. The seating was tight, but the restaurant was clean and bright. You are able to watch the chefs at work. We ended up ordering more food than intended--vegetable dumplings, stir fried bak choi (tender all the way down to the bottom of the stems), General Tso's chicken (crispy, but not sopped with oil, and the chicken was tender, not overcooked and tough like a lot of places that have this), Singapore noodles (great taste though you wouldn't have expected it from its simple appearance). We also ended up getting the mapo tofu. Although we weren't used to seeing peas and carrots in this dish, where we live, everyone loved the flavor. Most dishes are under $10 and a few go up to $12.
What I liked about the food here was that it wasn't overly salty or oily. Despite the fact that we probably ate a little too much, we didn't leave feeling weighed down by grease and fillers. Our stomachs would agree that we filled them with delicious and fresh food. Oh, and the staff is very helpful here. One person, maybe the owner (?) was especially eager to tell us where to find the foods that Montreal was known for. Too bad we spoke with him too late, on the last evening of our visit. We will definitely make it a point to return to this restaurant when we are in the neighorhood again.
