Love it here! It's one of our go-to's when we visit our Red Raider! We usually order dumplings, baos, noodles of course! All yummy!

This place never misses! The spicy cucumber was a very good appetizer. The fried bao buns were hot and fresh! The spicy beef was seasoned great and not too spicy for me. The Chashu Tonkotsu Ramen was delicious as well. The service is hit and miss but the food is always on point! read more

I would say one of the best no frills Chinese restaurants in Lubbock. The chashu black garlic ramen broth had the right amount of black garlic and was flavorful. The youpo noodle was also flavorful with the appropriate amount of spices. Noodles in both dishes were cooked al dente. Service was attentive and we had a good view of the chef cooking and making the hand pulled noodle. read more

Fun Noodle Bar - Sweet sesame balls, bao, noodles - Chinese Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

The food here was delicious! They have absolutely huge portions. When we walked in they gave us a little dish of peanuts to eat while we waited for our food. My soup came in a very large bowl with a small ladle for a spoon. The broth was very clear and very flavorful. It had a very slight earthy mushroom flavor, and the cilantro on top brightened everything up beautifully. The meat was very tender and sliced very thin. They have a chile oil at the table that was very good. It is spicy, but nothing too crazy, and it has wonderful flavor. Overall it was a great experience! read more

Two foodies from Houston came to visit family in Lubbock. Since we enjoy fresh Asian food and flavor, we decided to give Fun Noodle Bar a try. We enjoyed our first visit so much that we went ate twice during our time in Lubbock. My apologies, I didn't list the names of the dishes but I attached pictures. Wait staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. You can see the cook making fresh noodles in the kitchen. The restaurant is small but airy and clean. We will be back during our next visit. If you like flavor and fresh noodles, stop by and give it a try. read more

Food is okay, but not impressive enough for a return visit. The noodles are too thick, too much in one serving. I was disappointed that there was only one pork dish on the menu. The portions are gigantic, but not that flavorable for me. I ended up throwing most of it away when adding hot seasoning didn't make it taste better. Will not return. read more

First time in Lubbock and after driving 5.5 hours from San Antonio-had craving for ramen. Uh, forgot I wanted Ramen as I was had a smaller menu, but so excited for the last minute change. Went with the flow. Spicy cucumber salad, beef roll appetizer, kung pao chicken dumplings and need I forget simple small peanuts? Restaurant was welcoming, friends, family, couples and single guys like me. Haha. Spicy cucumber was my fav and took 3 pics? Why? Typically, "dragon oil" can be too spicy and flavor of food is lost. Not here. Absolute perfection-just the right amount of spicy hotness, oil and natural cucumber flavor. Truth-best I ever had. Entire meal was so flavorful, scrumptious and enjoyed every bite. Typically I'll eat a little, look at my phone for whatever then eat again. Nope. Only picked up phone to take pics. Rest of time-in the focus zone of devouring-slowly every morsel. Spontaneity was perfect...so was quick service, happy cheerful staff, and a great first meal and memory of Lubbock. Definitely coming back again this week-to try ramen-haha. Thank you. read more

I visit this place every time I'm in Lubbock super fresh. They make everything right there in front of you highly recommend the bow dumplings. Soup is amazing and noodles are on point. Don't forget about the spicy cucumbers. Service is pretty fast, usually packed even up until close. Like a hole in the wall in a shopping center you get what you get clean fast and easy highly recommend. read more

Fun Noodle Bar is such a pleasant surprise since I find it to be authentic Chinese food. This restaurant is located on 68th and Slide Road, and it's next to Spec's. Parking is easy, and I was able to get a table for myself with no wait time on a weekday evening. The shop is on the smaller side, but it offers quite a bit of seating, and you're able to see fresh noodles prepared in front of you if you sit at the bar. I got the roasted rib pork noodle soup with the pan fried bao, and my food came out quickly. The noodle soup was delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and fell off the bone, and it paired so well with the savory broth and fresh, chewy noodles. The pan fried bao were good as well; I wish the filling was juicier/soupier, but that's the only thing that I would really change about the food. I highly recommend checking out this spot! read more

OVERALL Fun Noodle Bar was a good find particularily on a rainy day (10/10/2022) in Lubbock. RATING BREAKDOWN | Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Environment: 4 | Price: 4 | PARKING Fre and ample in a shared plaza lot. LOCATION/AMBIANCE I like the bar area where only a few patrons may sit and watch everything being prepared. THE GRUB + Tonkotsu ramen ($13.99) with chashu - they allowed me to order one bowl for both of my kids (ages 8 and 9) and add extra chashu ($1.75) to their bowl as there are no kid's portions. I wish the chashu was a bit more tender. Regardless, they got the food out as quickly as possible after our long wait. + Their original boba tea ($4.99) was alright. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kids menus or sizes whatsoever. SERVICE Friendly and quick. MY FAVORITE PART... + probably the best (maybe only) ramen-oriented place in the area + separate women's restroom NOT SO FAVORITE PART... - long wait times (write your name on the paper taped to the window of you're dining in) - small restaurant (can only accommodate groups of about 6) read more

I would've given five stars if there was more flavor in the soup. I ordered the beef noodle soup in spicy broth and it was pretty bland to me. However the beef itself was great and tender. The rest of the soup was just lacking. It also seems like it's only $6.99 in store which makes sense for what you get but they have it on doordash for $14 ): it looks like they have other great menu items I would be willing to try in the future! read more

The food is so good even that steamed dumplings even fried dumplings. It's all good. just waiting to go back.

Tried most of the dumplings on the menu and enjoyed them all. Looking forward to trying the ramen next time we go in. Service was quick and friendly. read more

I will say the service was awesome, however I don't know what everyone else is eating here because the food was not good at all. My daughter had the beef ramen. Tasted rancid. So she ate some of my fried rice instead. I had the combo fried rice and it was as bland as could be. No seasoning at all. My wife had something with peanut sauce and said it was okay. The beef Bao was terrible. The pan fried dumplings were below average. Makes no sense. 100$ for a place that can't spare (at the very minimum) salt and pepper? No thank you. No where near what we were expecting based off the reviews posted by other Yelp users. None of us were happy leaving. Just really disappointed. read more

I think I would have put my review at 4.75 stars if I could. 4.75 because even though the food and atmosphere were great I wish the sweet sesame balls were bigger or priced cheaper because it was like a quill egg size for $6 for 5 of them. The tonkotsu ramen was pretty good it was just a nice soft balance of flavors, just didn't have a wow taste to it. Maybe because I normally like my soft boil eggs to be on the runny side. It was pretty boiled to where the juice of the egg didnt have the chance to flow in the broth. Pros: Any of the baos were extremely delicious. I should have take a photo of them but it was all eaten before I thought about it. Its pretty awesome you can see the food being made at the noodle bar area. Overall for it being Lubbock this was a pretty awesome place. read more

Everything we ate was excellent. When we walked up, there were quite a few people waiting, so we thought it might be awhile but the food should be good!

I was pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant does fresh hand pulled noodles!!! This was a treat! When I checked it the menu online it looked like they had vegetarian soup options but I did not see them on the in person menu. So I went with the pan fried sliced noodles with veggies. While there was egg in the dish I do with they had more protein options such as edamame or tofu. Another dishes did have edamame so I think this is something they could easily do. It was a large portion, you can probably share with someone. I enjoyed the chili oil, and the noodles were nice and thick. If would def check this place out again if I am in the area. read more

I've had an excellent experience at Fun Noodle bar. While the food is delicious I think the service is what really sets them apart. We had a few different people waiting on us and they were all so kind and attentive. Our waitress chased me down in the parking lot after I forgot my to-go box on the table which made the evening even better! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Great service; food was amazing! Pan Fried Bao authentic and savory. Chow Mien was almost perfect. Spring Rolls hot, perfect thin and crispy. read more

I highly recommend eating at the restaurant over takeout. They make the noodles by hand in house. Sometimes when you get takeout, the noodles cool down and stick together whereas they are perfect when you eat them in the restaurant. Order anything with noodles or dough (like dumplings), they are all handmade and outstanding. The spicy cucumbers are also very tasty. read more

Ordered DoorDash. Sent beef potstickers when I ordered pork. Burnt all the crab Rangoon. The dry noodles in cumin sauce looks and tastes like mush. Absolutely disgusting. So disappointing, especially for the price. read more

There is nothing like fresh made noodles...whether it's pasta for Italian cuisine or fresh manoodles for Asian cuisine. If that is your jam this is a must stop and try...so delicious made to order.

Staff was super polite and helpful & the service was very quick despite being busy. (Almost all the tables were full.) Ordered soup dumplings and egg rolls as an appetizer thinking that the main entre portions would be medium in size- I was pleasantly very wrong. Both the ramen and especially the chow mein were giant. (And tasted fantastic!!) The space is smaller, but cozy, and whoever was on aux has fantastic taste in music. Left Fun Noodle Bar full and happy. read more

Boba tea good but food not special . Fast service and friendly staff . Would go back maybe

Simply outstanding. I stumbled upon this place while in Lubbock for business, and was so impressed I ate here twice during my five night stay. This is the most authentic noodle shop you will find outside of New York or California. I can't believe it is here in Lubbock. The noodles are hand-pulled and all of the food is fresh and wonderful. The kitchen is visible to the guests so you can watch the show as the cooks stretch and twirl giant bands of noodles. My personal favorite were the steamed beef and green onion dumplings. The only regret I had was ordering fried rice... not that it wasn't excellent, it just kept me from experiencing one of the more exciting dishes on the menu. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and efficient. Both times I ate here I was in and out in less than 40 minutes. I can't recommend this place highly enough... read more

Being from LA, was kinda skeptical ordering Asian food in Lubbock but figured I would be daring and give it a try especially since they had some raving reviews. Ordered to go although during covid they had inside dining. By the way if you want to eat there there's a wait list that you can sign in at the door. Ordered the wonton soup, steamed pork dumplings and then sesame seed balls. After I ordered I kinda had buyers remorse as I saw other dishes being delivered to people dining which definitely made me want to go back the next time I'm in Lubbock. The wonton soup was tasty especially after adding some chili oil. They don't skimp out on the wontons at all. The sauce with the dumplings is like crack sauce you just want to eat it with everything. Sesame seed balls order came with 5 bite sized balls. I ate each and everyone by myself. Everything was delish. Going back to try the beef noodle soup and the steamed bao read more

Lubbock honestly doesn't have enough good Asian restaurants. We're from LA in Cali so we come from a very competitive market for Asian food. I This is the restaurant that makes Lubbock's Chinese food viable. I'm also Taiwanese, so I can confidently say this place is authentic. They continue the ancient legacy of making their own noodles and bao in-house, meaning they're fresh and well-priced. Green Onion Pancake and Xiaolongbao are amazing here -- really can't go wrong with beef noodle soup or fried rice either. I want to support this restaurant and others like it because we need more places like this. 5/5 every single time, though the restaurant itself can get a little packed sometimes. Order to go to skip the line and enjoy authentic Chinese food at home. Closest thing you can get to real Northern Chinese food or even a place like Din Tai Fung out here in Lubbock. As a Chinese restaurant, the ramen ain't bad either. It's a crime that this Chinese restaurant's Tonkotsu ramen is still probably better than any other Japanese ramen in the city. (We need more authentic Japanese places too, at least we have Seoul for Korean) I have also heard very good things about their boba milk tea, but have not personally tried it myself. Just make sure to be aware that this is not Panda Express: it's real Chinese food. Give it a shot and you won't be disappointed. read more
