I have been here twice now, once in October last year and had the tonkotsu spicy ramen which was pretty good. I came at night, it was pretty busy but quick service. I went again today for a late lunch and enjoyed some aspects of the meal. For one, it was just me and two other tables who closed out right when I was walking in. I was quickly sat, and proceeded to have pretty slow service to start. Once a server finally came back around 5 minutes later, he brought some delicious spicy/sweet peanuts to start. Returned less than a minute later to take my order, then proceeded to have great service afterward.. let me start with the spicy baby cucumbers: pretty tasty and a large serving, however I didn't think they were that spicy. The chile oil used is mostly oily with some not so spicy Chiles used (that could just be my heat tolerance) but nonetheless, they were delicious. The hot tea was fresh and he brought it out with water, which I appreciated.. I was however slightly disappointed in the Dan Dan Noodles, I didn't take a picture just because it honestly was served not too appetizing or picture perfect like most of the previous reviews. Everything was mixed together, and the meat was all in the bottom under all of the noodles. The flavor was pretty good, but I didn't get the normal Szechuan flavor or spiciness that I've had in the past at other places. I do love the fresh noodles, but the overall dish was a little underwhelming. I would have liked it to be a little more presentable, along with more of a noteworthy flavor other than meaty broth with some chile oil (again more on the oily side not so much spice). Overall, the experience was decent and good service. I will come back to try something else and maybe it just wasn't a dish for me. read more

Everything we ordered came at once and every dish was ice cold. They should consider not delivering all the courses at once. When I suggested that to the waiter, he was non apologetic and made an excuse there were two kitchens ( not sure how that contributed to everything being cold.) we were the only table in the restaurant so their excuses were ridiculous. Not going back there again. read more

Really sweet little noodle shop right off Cordova Road, just up the strip from Trader Joe's. We went on a Friday evening before a theater performance, and the service was quick and pleasant. My companion loved the potstickers, which came out nicely crisped on the flat sides and were filled with generous amounts of tasty goodness. I tried a noodle dish that was perfectly prepared and presented. It was not only delicious, but I took almost half of it home to enjoy the next day for lunch, when it tasted just as good on reheating. We both had the Thai iced tea, and they do a fine job with those drinks as well. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu next time we're in that area of town. read more

I have heard about Fun Noodle Bar in Albuquerque for some time now. We decided to finally give their second location in Santa Fe a try. The restaurant is in a strip mall away from the plaza area, so parking isn't too bad. The service was quick and attentive. We ordered bao and jalapeño bombs to start. The jalapeno bomb is basically a jalapeño popper with sushi sauces on it. It was good though. The bao were amazing. They were soft and so delicious. I ordered the pad Thai with shrimp and my guest ordered the beef soup. The pad Thai was pretty good and a large portion. I'd come back. read more

Finding a quick, decent bite in Santa Fe? Not as easy as you'd think. But this spot? Solid every time. It's not life-changing, but hey not every meal needs to be a spiritual awakening. It's tasty, reliable, and officially made the "regulars" list when I'm in town. read more

I took my brother here when he flew in to visit. He's got a lot more experience eating ramen than I do, and gave the ramen a thumbs up. I recall he said, "The noodles are REALLY good and the broth is proper ramen broth." I had the beef sliced noodles since I had a craving for beef chow fun, and I thought it was very good! Nice chewy noodles and tender beef. read more

First time experiencing a bad freshly made noodle. Very disappointing. Super mushy soft noodles. No chew. We made a quick pitstop here driving from Colorado Springs and just got too hungry and couldn't wait to eat at Albuquerque, and what a disappointment. Steam bun is dry with no flavor. Ramen is mushy. The soup is decent, so they get an extra star for that. But no. For them to make the noodles and to be this bad, I am thoroughly disappointed. read more

The service was amazing, they seated 13 of us in record time, There wasn't a big wait between ordering and food being delivered but we also never felt rushed even though we were there past closing time. Our server was kind and fun, we had a baby girl with us who could not take her eyes off him and he was gentle and playful with her. The noodles were fresh and good, I got edamame too and also the fried tofu which was GREAT. It's not a fancy set up there, a typical strip mall restaurant, but the experience was wonderful and my family left pleased and full!! read more

This was the first time here and was very pleased. Had the chow Mein with shrimp which was very good. The service was good and the options were good. The prices were good as well. I would like to go again and try other items. read more

Ramen are excellent. They make the noodles freshly with each order. Good show. Surprising location with Chinese selections available too.

The place is clean and busy. Staff are friendly and know both English and Chinese. Lots of great food here. When you order choose between white rice, fried rice, and pan fried noodles. I don't know if it depends on the region. Mongolian beef should be spicy. Mine was not, it was more sweet. Did enjoy the food and restroom was clean. read more

Soggy, overcooked ramen noodles. Overcooked dry chicken. Scallion pancake was flat, oily, & crispy. Wait-service was inattentive and cared less about the quality of food. Sadly, I wont return nor recommend. read more

There aren't a lot of options in Santa Fe for good asian food and it seems that Fun Noodle Bar is no exception. Service was to the point and they seemed like they were rushing to get us out the door, yet there was another hour before closing. I like how you can watch them preparing and making their own noodles. It was something to do and see while we waited. Crab Cheese Wontons. They were filled to the brim and tasted pretty good. Sesame Chicken. Not the best I've had. The chicken was too hard and the meal said it came with broccoli and I got two small pieces. read more

I ordered the Jalapeño Chicken, and it was more like popcorn chicken, because the pieces were very small. The taste was good but I felt like I got the crumbs!!! It was hard to get a seat, order and pay!! I had to wave at them several times to get their attention! The service was bad, and some people had been waiting and were still waiting for their food! It was Christmas Day and it was busy, so I give them the benefit of the doubt. I hope they do a better service than what I experienced! At this point, the dish was not great and the ambience was loud, busy, and chaotic! read more

Food and service were excellent. Very generous portions and we took quite a bit home with us. We are both vegan and got the pad Thai and vegetable tofu. I just graded down a star due to not much atmosphere and we got our food immediately, so no time to visit and enjoy the sake before eating. I can see them rushing food to you at lunchtime, but for dinner most people want a little more of a dining experience. read more

We recently tried takeout from this spot and overall had a mixed experience. I ordered the beef fried rice and it was delicious! I added a bit of garlic at home to kick up the flavor even more, and it hit the spot perfectly. We chose takeout because the delivery fee was super cheap, and we couldn't make it out with the kids' bedtime creeping up. The food took a little longer to arrive than we hoped, but it was still warm and ready to eat. My husband went for the shrimp tempura but was a little bummed to find it had a bunch of veggies mixed in. For the price, we were expecting a more generous portion of shrimp. Despite this, we'll definitely give this place another try--perhaps dining in next time to get the full experience. Overall, a good option for quick takeout, especially for those nights when getting out isn't easy. read more

We ordered for the first time and did not have a very good experience with service and communication. We called several times and no one answered, we decided to order online. An hour later we called to see if the delivery was taking much longer and they told us that the food was there ready but we had to go get it. What?? They obviously don't have good customer service, they didn't apologize and didn't return the generous tip we left when we ordered online. My son went to get the food and it was all cold. Cold Chinese food? hmm not very good. I leave them 3 stars because it is the day before New Year's and I want to think that it was a mistake just with our order. I hope they improve their communication with customers in 2024. The food didn't look bad, just cold. read more

Great atmosphere, fantastic service and excellent vegan & vegetarian options....will definitely be visiting soon with the family!

The noodles themselves are fantastic, otherwise there is nothing great or awful about the food here. Spicy cucumbers- unevenly chopped so some pies are more crunchy than others, flavor was not very deep. Roasted Soup- server could not tell me what the roasted part was. She offered pork as a option, then told me pork was not a option, 2 pieces of broccoli and about 7-10 leaves of spinach. Dan Dan noodles- added peanut flavor which did not elevate the dish Service was fairly awful in general. There were maybe 4 tables and our server continued to get tables mixed up, spilled soup when turning quickly when the table told her they did not order that, never cleaned the spill, could not get our check read more

This place needs to be knocked down a few stars. I don't know if there's just limited options here in Santa Fe - or what the deal is, but this is very mediocre ramen. For starters, I've had better ramen for cheaper dozens of times. Secondly, the presentation is terrible. So much broth, very little meat/veggies, and there were undercooked noodles I found several times throughout my bowl. I attached a picture of it - undercooked chewy clumps that are stuck together. Service was fine - fast and kind, but quality of food is just straight up not worth it. read more

There is something about freshly made noodles. On a cold day in Santa Fe, a hot soup surely satisfies the tummy. I ordered the beef noodle soup, the broth is excellent and the noodles tasted fresh. I was amazed when there is a clear Plexiglass on the other side of the wall where they make handmade noodles. It was entertaining to watch the guy make it. We came before the dinner rush. Make sure to get here early. The restaurant is spacious, however, there is a wait to be seated. read more

Hmmm.... fun noodle bar surprised me. I was starving at 3pm and craving asian food in Santa Fe... this is a generally bad situation to be in seeing as so much is closed during this time and seeing as the asian food scene in Santa Fe can be rough... PLEASE correct me if I am wrong and share food recommendations with me! In desperate need. Anyways, I stopped in for a quick late lunch. I was promptly shown to a booth and the atmosphere was spacious and open. I ordered the vegetable pan fried sliced noodle extra veggies add tofu. It was plentiful- enough for 2 meals, piping hot, tons of veggies and handmade noodles. Overall- perfectly satisfying and yummy! I enjoyed seeing the chefs cook and make the noodles because of the open kitchen- and will be back to try more when I find myself craving something simple and straight forward. read more

When I entered, I was struck by the impression that this place meant business. The workers were never fully idle, seeming to strive to always help out and perform to their fullest. They jumped when we entered to attend to us and kindly thanked us for stopping by after we left on a late Christmas Eve evening. Opened with a spicy baby cucumber appetizer. It's a staple dish amongst Asian restaurants. It was average--not spectacular but also not a particular let down. I ordered the Youpo noodles and ended up liking it way more than I expected. It had an almost clean flavor profile to it and was light. It wasn't too salty and you could taste the sweetness of the daikon. The noodles were hand-made, and they were the right texture of chewiness as well as thickness. The Dan Dan noodles weren't too oily. It wasn't super flavorful though, so I think the Youpo noodles were still the best choice. read more

Came here for their spicy beef noodles but when we were only told they ran out of everything beef after we start placing the order. I wish they had told us everything beef was out so we could decide to go somewhere else. They replaced it with other meat and it did not taste good. Also, the handmade noodles were very soft and mushy, no springy texture like the one I had in their Albuquerque location. Service was slow. It took a long time to get our meals after the first entree was delivered. read more

Thank you Fun Noodle Bar for being open on Christmas Day, we appreciate you! I really enjoyed my Kung Pao Chicken which I upgraded to add noodles. I saw them making/pulling the noodles fresh inside the restaurant so I was really glad I tried the noodles. The Kung Pao Chicken was really not spicy at all, but it was flavorful and came with quite a few veggies so I was happy with that. The Mongolian Beef only came with two pieces of broccoli and the fried rice we added on came in a pretty small container, so we were less happy with that. The potstickers were great, just what you would expect and nothing that stuck out too much in my mind about them. read more

Great price, great tasting food, great portions. Appetizer was tasty, spongy "pancake" with the right amount of sauce and pork. Moist and not dry at all; as I would have thought when I saw it. The Pan Fried sliced noodles (chicken) Was simple in taste and at the same time flavorful. The thigh noodles in this dish are the highlight Will order again and come back again read more
