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

Kung Fu Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

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

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. read more

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 . read more

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.

Kung Fu Noodle - Braised Beef Noodle Soup红烧牛肉面 - Chinese Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Out of towners visiting family. Came across this place. Stopped in and feel in love. Food is so good. Noodles, rice, flavors.

I love Kung Fu Noodle ! I eat here all the time with a good friend of mine . The staff is friendly and the food is always delicious !

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. read more

Funky atmosphere great service. Their house beer is really good. Huge portions. The hot and sour soup is delicious.

I have been a regular customer at Kungfu Noodle for a long time and, because of my work schedule, I eat here almost every day. Unfortunately, a recent experience has convinced me that I will not be returning. I placed an order and requested "no meat, more vegetables." I was told that the kitchen was unwilling to provide extra vegetables unless I paid an additional charge. What disappointed me most was not the charge itself, but the attitude behind it. It felt as though reasonable customer requests were viewed as an inconvenience rather than something to accommodate. This is also not the first time I have heard kitchen staff complaining about customer requests. In the past, I have overheard complaints about customers asking for less salt or making other simple modifications to their meals. As a long-time customer, it is extremely disappointing to hear staff openly express frustration toward paying customers for such basic requests. The attitude was unprofessional and unfriendly. After repeatedly hearing complaints from the kitchen about customer orders, it becomes difficult to feel confident about how special requests are handled behind the scenes. I have supported this restaurant for a long time, but this experience has left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. I hope management takes customer service more seriously and addresses these issues. read more

How the heck have I not reviewed this place yet?! Because when I tell you they have the best noodles I've ever had, I'm not kidding! The dan dan hand pulled noodles are my favorite dish in all of Dayton, maybe of all time! The noodles are bouncy, fresh, and the perfect vehicle for that nutty, velvety sauce. The chili oil - out of this world! The crunch of the veggie in the noodles (they look like green beans but I think it's a type of small pepper) are my favorite bits. The meat is sweet and salty and absolutely delicious! The sweet bbq sausages are a yummy starter too! Sweet and tangy and a great price. This place is a true hole in the wall. The hostesses are always so kind and I've seen a man demonstrate how he makes the pulled noodles almost every time I'm picking up my order. Inside is cozy and clean. I really wish the dan dan noodles weren't so darn good because I've heard the braised beef noodle soup is amazing, but it's so hard to turn down, what I believe, is a perfect dish! Some day, braised beef noodle soup....some day. This place has amazing reviews for a reason. read more

Maybe warn people that the food is covered in a thick disgusting layer of cilantro, even when that fact isn't shown on the menu. I ordered the beef noodles instead of the classic Lanzhou beef noodles for takeout because I'm actually allergic to cilantro. I got it home and the entire bowl of noodles was smothered in disgusting cilantro leaves and chopped cilantro. I wasted almost 13 dollars. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Kung Fu Noodle - Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

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

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

The fried rice was amazing. My recommendations is to only eat that. The soups we had the wonton and the braze beef separately and they both tasted like water. This was not a one time only event. I have gone twice before this and the soup still tasted like water. I don't know where the seasoning went. About four or five years ago it was the most amazing restaurant to eat at so I don't know what went wrong. read more

Stopped in while driving through Dayton. This came as a friend's recommendation and they even met me at the restaurant which made it all the more memorable. The restaurant is relatively small and so we were lucky we got there in time to beat the lunch rush as it got busier with time. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and my wife ordered a stir fried pork noodle dish. Our friend got the braised beef noodles in soup. We also ordered homemade dumplings as an appetizer. The food was ready very quickly and everything tasted and looked great! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the spiciness of the Dan Dan Noodles in chili oil. Our server was very friendly and even went out of her way to bring over some balloons for our two toddlers. They really enjoyed the food and experience as well. Look forward to stopping in when I'm driving through again. 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

I have been searching for an authentic Chinese handmade noodle place forever and now I found one even though it's 100 miles away from where I live. Unbelievable gourmet dishes that are authentic. The spiciness I requested had the perfect flavor. The wontons were light and pillowy and handmade with handmade ingredients. We asked for more information on how the noodles are hand stretch and the noodle chef gave us a personal demonstration that we videotaped and attached to this review. The employees were kind and attentive and the best service you could ever get at a restaurant. We look forward to coming back again soon because the drive is worth it. I found the best Chinese restaurant anywhere. I've been to Chinatown in New York City and this is so much better. 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

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
