I ordered the Classic Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, lamb skewers, and chicken gizzard skewers. The noodle soup was comforting, with fresh, springy noodles and a light, soothing broth. The beef itself was tender but lacked flavor. The skewers were decent overall, though they were heavily seasoned to the point where it overpowered the meat. The servers were friendly, but they didn't check in very often and took a while to bring the check at the end. We weren't in a hurry, so it didn't bother us. The shop itself is fairly small, giving it a more casual and cozy feel with cat paintings hanging from the wall.
Really tasty noodles! We got the spicy Dan Dan noodles, beef noodle soup, and potstickers! The waitress spoke Chinese which was quite impressive. Service was very kind and quick! It's a casual noodle place near an Asian market too!
Took husband to lunch today. He ordered #1 Classic Lanzhou Noodle, hand stretched, regular size. I ordered #3 Taste of China Noodle Soup with hand stretched noodles, regular size. This was husband's first time eating here while I've been here twice with friends. He must've enjoyed it because he ate all of the noodles and sipped half of the broth! I could only finish half and took leftovers home, which is typical. Serving size is generous and food is always temperature hot and flavorful. I try to order something different from the menu each time I visit. This is the first time I remembered to take pictures of what we ordered. Food smells and looks so good I forget .
To say this place is a hole in the wall is an understatement. No frills whatsoever. The food on the other hand is surprisingly delicious. The noodles are genuinely hand pulled and very fresh. It has the right chew texture. Broth is flavorful. Service is also fast and no frills. Reminds me of the old fashioned Chinese restaurant in NYC Chinatown. Glad I drove here.
Highlight: Hot Green Tea with free refills ($2), BBQ Lamb Skewer ($3) and BBQ Chicken Gizzards Skewer ($3), Fried Shrimp Crisps ($3), Cucumber Salad ($6), Summer Delight Cold Noodles ($12.95) The lamb skewer had a good chew, and the gizzard had a good crunch, but the seasoning was strong and extra peppery. Shrimp chips came in different sizes and fun colors, crunchy with a hint of shrimp. Sour and crunchy, the cucumber salad had a hint of saltiness. I ordered the wrong entree dish, but the noodles were chewy and firm. The pickled veggies were a bit too pickled for my personal taste, so they overpowered the rest of the dish, making it too sour for me. Hospitality: Friendly service; one server took care of all of the tables. Honorable Mention: Small, cozy restaurant with limited seating. Super affordable prices.
I got Dan Dan noodles to go, the hand pulled noodles. I doubt I'm imagining it, but eating this seems to have cured some digestive issues I've had. Weird and very welcome. It was delicious. I got my order to go and it was mere minutes and I was on my way home smelling this delicious aroma.
This authentic Asian restaurant is attached to an Asian market, which is always a good sign. The inside is rather small with only a few tables. We placed an order to-go and walked around the market while it was prepared. We ordered dumplings, chicken fried rice, and chicken noodle stir fry. Lunch portions are around $10. The chicken fried rice was hearty, but a bit bland. I added a significant amount of sriracha to give it more flavor. My SO really enjoyed the chicken noodle stir fry. I didn't taste it, so I can't comment but she mentioned the sauce tasting really good. The dumplings weren't good at all. The dough was too soggy, essentially falling apart and the filling was too dry. We only tried one each and threw the rest out. Overall, our experience was hit and miss, hence 3 stars. That said, we would probably give it another shot.
Ok, did you ever think noodles could be this good? A place could secretly have this awesome vibe? A server could be so nice? Go here. You won't regret it.
Came here on a Sunday evening as a party of two. There were two other tables with customers. The establishment itself is so run down/in renovation. We thought it was closed. It also doesn't help that it's in the middle of nowhere. The staff were having their dinner and serving us which was interesting to say the least. The service was helpful enough. We ordered the Classic Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup XL, Cucumber Salad, Dan Dan Hand Stretched Noodles, and House Made Dumplings/wonton with Szechuan Sauce. It was way more than enough food for two people. The cucumber salad could've been fresher, that's for sure. The Noodle soup lacked flavor, which we dumped the Dan Dan sauce and chili sauce into. The Dan Dan noodles were the best I've had. So flavorful. As for the Szechuan wonton/dumplings, so homemade and delicious it made my tongue go numb! The prices were reasonable, coming from SoCal folk. I also had leftovers for lunch/dinner the next day. I recommend stopping here for authentic food in OH.
Looked up this place before going on our little trip to Dayton and sooooo glad I went! It's a small spot that's connected to an Asian mart and bubble tea shop. There was plenty of parking and signage. They have a varied and very authentic menu to choose from! We ordered a broth based lo mein noodle bowl and a hand pulled cold dry noodle bowl. BF added on a braised egg and I ordered a Taiwanese sausage on a stick. Yum on all accounts! Chili oil was automatically brought to us and the waitress was super friendly as well as bilingual. Food was brought out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. YES!! presentation and taste were perfect. Their prices and portions are reasonable and I love everything about this place, down to their cat portraits adorning the walls! Wish this place opened a location in Cleveland! I saw that they have spots in Cincy and Cbus!! read more
A hidden gem in Dayton, of all places. I haven't had many Asian restaurants of any kind that tasted authentic in Dayton, but this is one of the few. The noodles are actually made in-house and have a lovely texture. I got the Classic Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup and was definitely not disappointed. The broth is light, but full of flavor at the same time. It is truly very comforting on a cold winter night. I think the beef slices on there are a bit tough, but it's not too big of an issue. The portion sizes are actually crazy. I got the regular size and could finish maybe just half to 2/3 of the noodles, along with a majority of the beef. I can't imagine how massive the large bowl would be... For health, I also ordered some stir-fried bok choy. This was stir fried well, but I'm not really sure what the flavor profile was supposed to be. Is it garlic? Is it spicy? I couldn't really place it. The prices are very fair for the quality of food they provide, and service throughout the night was decent. I will probably be back again, if I visit Dayton! Food: 4.5/5 Price: 4.75/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5 read more
this place is so fireeeeeee! the soup is so good and they have huge portions! i can barely finish mine in one sitting! i've never had a noodle dish like this before! the dine in area is a bit small, so be weary if you want to eat in the restaurant. sometimes they play the old pokemon anime on the tv and it's really cute. the service is pretty quick! the waiters are very attentive, but if it is busy, they get can get stretched thin! but everyone should always be nice to their servers fr. great place and i would def recommend trying something new and eating here! read more

Visiting town for a conference. Decided to try this place out! Ordered takeout so didn't see the location. Dan Dan noodles were spicy and delicious. Dumplings were also tasty and everything seems fresh and handmade. What a treat! I'll probably be trying something else before leaving town! read more
What an amazing hidden gem in the heart of Dayton. If you are looking for some authentic Asian gourmet homemade cuisines please check out Kung Foo Noodle located on Dixie Drive. Talk about homemade noodles and dumplings made fresh daily and with such passion. We located this placed based on friend's recommendation. I will have to say the food is the most authentic and traditional Asian dishes right from Dayton but recipes straight from traditional Asia signatures dishes. The ambiance was low to moderate noise level. Cute and quant restaurant with about 10 tables. The service was definitely a five star based on the fact that we arrived and was immediately greeted with a bright smile from our server Maria. The appetizers were served in less than 10 minutes. The entrees were brought out to us piping hot in less than 15 minutes. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered pan fried dumplings and steamed dumplings. The dumplings came with a soy and rice vinegar sauce homemade from scratch. We ordered the garlic bok choy which was super fresh and full of flavors. Highly recommended the bok choy. We ordered sides of the cucumbers and the pickled cabbage. The cucumbers were a good start to the meal. It was fresh and lightly season with spices. The pickled cabbage was aged well. It could have used a little more flavor. We also ordered Dan Dan Noodles definitely a bit on the spicy side but all the noodles were hand crafted or no artificial ingredients. Next up we ordered Chicken wonton soup and Braised beef noodle soup, and Braised Pork over rice with Bok Choy. The soups all had freshly made hand stretched noodles. The broths were all homemade and fresh tasting with the right amount of flavors. All the dishes were pretty amazing with the right amount of flavors and spices. The portions were a large amount and definitely worth sharing. The prices were absolutely reasonable and such a great deal compared to ordinary restaurants. I would say low to moderately priced handmade dishes. Highly recommend this authentic asian restaurant hidden in the heart of Dayton for dine in or carryout. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive if north or south of town. Very difficult to find homemade Asian entrees made with perfection and passion. There were multiple chefs in the kitchen wrapping dumplings and hand pulling noodles. Good family authentic dining experience with minimal wait time. read more
The hand crafted noodles are delicioussss. Ordered the braised beef noodles which were yummy and the tomato Meg noddle which was a good comfort meal type of soup dish. The main highlight was the Dan Dan noodles which had such good flavor. HD a little bit of spice and would highly recommend to try if you stop by here. read more
Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hand pulled noodles here! The house made noodles were chewy and perfectly cooked. The broth for the braised beef noodle soup was really savory with lots of cilantro and scallions for added flavor. The soup also had tomatoes and bok choy. If you like it spicy like me then you can add their hot chili oil for added heat! The portion of noodles was generous even for the regular size so it was worth the price. The service was efficient and friendly as well. There is limited indoor seating so I recommend going with a smaller group. The restaurant is located right next to an Asian market so you can shop and eat in one trip! read more

I got a hand-pulled noodle soup. Noodles are chewy and definitely better than the typical sry noodles. However, the broth is just bouillon water and the meat in the meat stew is subpar. Next time I'd try the noodle but not in soup or broth. Service was efficient no-frills. read more

Kung Fu Noodle is a great noodle place! I've eaten here multiple times and it's typically a good experience. I like that they offer chili sauce with the noodles so you can dictate your own spice level. The place has an authentic feel and they're so fast with the service. Usually the Chinese fried donuts are delicious but the last time, they were cold. I would not recommend ordering them ahead of time, even though I asked for them after the meal. They are usually my favorite thing at the restaurant so it would be best to order once you've finished eating so they're fresh. read more

Yelp just placed Kung Fu Noodle at number 97 on their 2024 Top 100 restaurants in the United States. I ate there a few weeks ago. This is truly authentic food. The owners/staff are friendly and kind. Prices are reasonable. Well worth 5 stars for food, quality, price and culinary skill. Not sure about top 100 in the country. Fluffy Bunny sends. read more

Only 3 restaurants in Ohio made the Yelp Top 100 Restaurants in the US list for 2024, and Kung Fu Noodle is one of them. As an avid Yelper, I had to try it. The write up says the chef was trained in China, and many Asian reviewers have attested to the various dishes' authenticity. I got the stir fried chicken with hand pulled noodles and my son got the stir fried. pork with hand pulled noodles. I didn't know the difference in the types of noodles, so I gambled on the 3$ hand pulled upgraded, and wow was it worth it. The flavor of the chicken, vegetables and, of course, the noodles was outstanding. They had a steady flow of customers as well. It was fascinating to see in the kitchen as they were had making the dumplings. That's on my list for the next visit. read more
Attentive server, surprisingly good noodles and soup from an unassuming but pretty little establishment. Tried the Lanzhou Beef Noodle on a cold winter night and I made the right decision. Wish the soup was more hot than lukewarm, but otherwise you wont be disappointed in this little gem. Try the Dan Dan noodle like my partner did and you'd be surprised at the flavor. read more

Amazing food. Mind the outside remodel make sure you come in. Best hand pulled noodles I've ever had read more
Got dinner with a friend tonight at Kung Fu finally getting to try those hand pulled noodles I've been hearing about. Well they lived up to the hype. This restaurant is tucked away behind the moraine Walmart and truly a hidden gem. Service was very great and everything tasted amazing. I will absolutely be back and may even dream about these noodles. read more

Not really. Stopped here during a restaurant research ride around Dayton. This is a really tiny establishment that probably seats 14 people maximum if everyone squeezes in. Hilariously, they still have plastic sheets hanging between tables that are two inches apart. Would not want that in my face when trying to eat. There's a small counter with a huge plexiglass sheet that has a tiny little slot at the bottom for passing money. Like some of the 24 hour bodegas I remember from Queens just without the rotating item delivery box. But again hilariously, the counter guy naturally has to come out from behind his 'shield' to hand you your purchase or to speak to you. I realized it's kind of a 'fast' Asian food place and there were no available seats so I ordered cold noodles to go, figuring on munching away in the car while we continued our tour (I was pretty hungry). I was not pleased when I opened the bag to find it was packaged Ikea-style: one container tightly packed with the noodles and cucumber slices, and one with the sauce. No possible way to enjoy it as street food, had to mix in a bigger bowl of my own at home. I am big on cold noodles but really didn't care for these. They were extremely thick and squared, and the texture just made me think of tofu. The sauce had some underlying taste to it that I didn't care for. Not saying it was bad, just not my taste. To be fair - IF I was in the area, and IF the plastic sheets were removed, and IF there was room to sit and eat, I would stop back to try out their interpretation of Dan Dan Noodles. I'll keep you posted. read more

Do they have any vegetarian/vegan options or plan to add any?
YES! You must tell them when you order. This venue is all about giving you what you want. After my last post? Zoey personally bought me tea bags and limes (I know, not lemons). Well, I was honored at this very sweet gesture. The chef is amazing! You…
