Went last night for the first time and we are excited to go back and try more! Tried the spicy chicken wontons, spicy orange chicken, and kung pao beef. The orange chicken and kung pao beef are easily the best we have in our area. and I wasn't a huge fan of the spicy chicken wonton, but everyone else at the table loved them. Service was great! Booths looked new and were comfortable. We will be going back soon! read more

Came here for our first time last night and had an amazing experience. Every dish we ordered was fresh and had authentic Chinese flavors. Probably the best orange chicken we've ever had, too! We are so happy to have a delicious dim sum restaurant close to home. Definitely a must-try. The service was exceptional, food came out quickly and they gave us each a complimentary egg drop soup as well. You could see the kitchen rolling dumplings which was cool! We will be back soon! read more

This was seriously one of the BEST finds we've stumbled across! Don't get me wrong, I was a bit skeptical at first, but OH. MY. GOODNESS!! We came in around 1:30 PM and stayed until about 2:30. The restaurant was calm and quiet at that time of day, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming, and the service was AMAZING. But the FOOD?! Absolutely phenomenal. You can genuinely taste the authenticity and freshness in everything. This isn't one of those places where every dish tastes like the same generic Chinese-fusion food. You can tell there is care behind each dish, from the flavors and textures to the presentation. We HAD to try literally almost EVERYTHING. And when I say we HAD to try a little bit of everything, I mean it. We ordered the chicken chow mein, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, sticky rice balls, sesame balls (8), fried veggie spring rolls (3), pork potstickers (8), AND the honey walnut shrimp with a side of steamed white rice. We basically turned our table into our own little tasting menu, and there genuinely wasn't a dish that made me regret ordering it. We were even given complimentary egg drop soup because of how much we had ordered. Anything that was supposed to be crunchy had a GRADE-A CRUNCH. The honey walnut shrimp was creamy, perfectly balanced, and easily one of my FAVORITES. The chicken chow mein was delicious, and I have to give them MAJOR credit for the orange chicken. I'm normally not a huge orange chicken person because so many places make it overly sweet or just not very palatable, but they got theirs DOWN TO A T. Even the potstickers came out with such a beautiful presentation! Yes, at first glance some of the prices might seem a little higher, but once you see the portions, taste the freshness, and experience the quality, it makes sense. I normally say "cry once, buy once," but for a restaurant like this? I would GLADLY keep coming back. The quality and experience are absolutely worth it. What honestly makes me a little sad is seeing how phenomenal this place is and knowing how easily it could get overlooked. There's so much traffic passing by--parents picking their kids up from school, people out working and grabbing lunch, or just anyone passing through--and I really hope more people stop in and give this restaurant the attention it deserves. PLEASE give this place a try and support them! I will absolutely be recommending it to my friends and family. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and properly executed. My absolute favorite out of ALL of them would have to be the Honey Walnut Shrimp -- OH MY LORD. And listen--if you're comparing this to fast-food Chinese prices, you're comparing apples to oranges. Sometimes you pay a little more because you're getting noticeably better freshness, flavor, quality, and care. If cheap is the goal, there's always Panda Express. If GOOD food is the goal, I know where I'm coming back. I genuinely hope they continue to have so much success because food and service like this deserve to be recognized. Long story short: STOP PASSING THIS PLACE UP! Come hungry, order a little bit of everything, and thank me later. Kung Fu Noodle, you understood the assignment. 10/10 -- WILL be back! Your taste buds will thank you. read more

Seated right away. The restaurant has been remodeled beautifully. Family environment and dining was very nice. Shumai delicious. Sticky orange chicken was well seasoned. Hubby loved the scallion pancake. Nice and hot. Overall the new place is probably under new management, but they've done an excellent job at the food, menu and remodeling! Good job! Oh yes, our server was very nice and attentive! Can't forget about the great service. read more

Great fresh, quality food. Amazing authentic Chinese flavor. I tried ordering online on their website but arrived to find out my order was not received (partly why only 5 stars the other part is because I got take out so prefer to save 5 stars for the full dining experience if earned ) the food was so delicious it was eaten before I could take pics. The selection included: Spicy crispy chicken (very spicy if you enjoy dried red chilis, recommended by the staff), shrimp w/broccoli, egg drop soup (the usual, nothing exceptional) and sausage fried rice made with Chinese sausage, if you've never had it try it!! I did take some pics of the decor since it was quite beautiful and added to the dining area. I look forward to going back, dining in and trying a selection of the many dumplings on the menu!!!! read more

Absolutely deserving of 5 stars! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The spicy fresh cucumber salad was incredibly refreshing with just the right amount of heat. The spicy braised beef noodle soup was rich, comforting, and packed with tender beef and bold flavors. The popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy and addictive, and the steamed vegetable bao was soft, fluffy, and delicious. Every dish tasted fresh and was prepared with care. If you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and a great dining experience, Kung Fu Noodle is definitely worth visiting. We'll absolutely be coming back! Thank you Lotty for providing amazing service and guidance while we tried during our visit in SD~ read more

YUM!! So glad I gave this Chinese spot a try!! I admit I was hesitant in the beginning since San Diego usually doesn't have good Asian food but this place definitely was spectacular! This restaurant is quite small and is located at the end of a plaza so it can be easily missed. Parking was ok but can be difficult especially on the weekends since it's located inside a busy plaza. They're open daily 11am-9pm Inside was small with not too much seating. The furniture was a bit worn and not too clean. There were bits of food on each table but it could be I went when they first opened. I felt so bad for the girl that worked there because she had to take and bring out orders, clean, and in charge of cashier. Service was pretty good since there wasn't anyone there except my party. However, wait time was an issue - 20+ min for 3 issues. I can't imagine how long parties have to wait when it's busy. Ordering was easy! Once I was seated, I was given a sheet of paper to select the items I wanted! However, I noticed they were out of a lot of items and they just opened when I arrived! The Pork Xiao Long Bao ($10.95) came with 8 pieces. Each piece was pretty big and stuffed with plenty of pork! The pork was not too fatty and the soup inside was so flavorful. It tasted so fresh and delicious so this was definitely a must get! 10/10 Chicken Chow Mein ($13.95) was decent! The portion was huge and came in with plenty of ingredients! The noodles were so soft and fresh! However, it was lacking flavor and tasted quite bland. It didn't have that "pan fried" taste - in Chinese: "wok hay" so this was 7/10 Beef Noodle Soup ($12.99) was amazing! The broth was packed with flavor and so rich! The beef was so tender and not too fatty! The noodles were so fresh and soft! The veggies were fresh and had a good variety of green onions, cilantro, and broccoli! This was definitely a MUST and 10/10! Overall, I really enjoyed the food and would definitely return and recommend. read more

We were very excited to come here . my husband and I work opposing shifts and the only day we have off together is Sunday so we generally go to dinner Sunday evening. we like to relax and enjoy our time together. We came in here for our first time because of a BOGO coupon from Albertsons. we were seated quickly and given menus right away, The waitress quickly came over for our order. We didn't even know what they served. She did take drink orders and when she came back and we ordered an appetizer and two entrées. We showed her the coupon and she said the coupon was only good if you ordered the exact same things. It doesn't say anything like that on the coupon, but we weren't gonna argue and ruin the only night all week we have together. Within two minutes, somebody brought out my dinner, and I waited for my husband's food, but it never came. We flagged on our waitress and asked her why we didn't get our appetizers first she basically said that the cook prepares the food in the order that he chooses and that he made my dinner first. It came out so quickly. I truly think it was made hours ago . We said we don't want the appetizer if we can't have it first because that's what we're used to and for us an appetizer is the first course. She then told us it was already in the system and we had to it, so I asked her to take my meal back and wait until we could have the appetizer first. so they did bring us our appetizer and then about 15 minutes later we got our meals together. I had the same meal that I was served 20 minutes before only now it was lukewarm. I enjoyed the flavors. I ordered something I'm familiar with but I'm surprised that it wasn't even reheated. Within five minutes of starting the meal our check came and then the waitress kept circling back to see if we put our credit card out. I felt very rushed. It was not a relaxing meal I think this would be a nice choice if you're getting your food to go. But not to try to sit down and enjoy a meal together. I wouldn't do it again and it's too bad because the inside of the restaurant seems really clean and nicely decorated. read more

It's been quite awhile since we've dined here. We came in not expecting to see the updated interior and learned that the business is under new management. I always preferred this spot for soup dumplings. And that's what we had today. Both my husband and I each ordered the Xiao Long Bao (8pc) along with a side of Bok Choy with Garlic. Gotta get in our greens! (I really wanted the Spinach with garlic but was told they sold out yesterday.) Everything was delicious. We even ordered one more Xiao Long Bao! What I really liked about the dumplings was that the exterior did not break when grabbed with chopsticks. Pliable. Soup stayed in the dumpling until I pierced it. (At Joyee, many times dumplings stick to the paper and rips. Soup spills out. The dough can be a little chewy.) We also had tea with our meal. My husband with the Taro Milk Tea with Boba and me with the Tropica Fruit Tea. My tea was quite refreshing. I forget everything that's in it but there's jasmine tea with a mix of fruit tea, a mint leaf, and pieces of fruit - strawberry, blueberry, pineapple. My husband enjoyed his drink too. Boba was nice and chewy. Dumplings were being made as we were leaving. Who doesn't love freshly made dumplings?! Almost forgot to mention that the service was great. The employee was very friendly and helpful. Stop by and support this small business! read more

Kung Fu Noodle in Vista offers an authentic taste of Taiwanese cuisine, with fresh, handmade noodles and dumplings that clearly reflect the tradition behind each dish. On a few occasions, I've watched them make the dumplings for the day, very fresh! The beef noodle soup is rich and satisfying, with tender meat and perfectly chewy noodles, while the dan dan noodles offer just the right amount of heat and depth of flavor. The atmosphere is simple, though it was a little warm for me. Portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality. Also, a great opportunity to try several dishes. The service was good and attentive. The buns were also delicious! They offer a variety of savory and sweet buns, including juicy pan-fried pork buns and soft red bean dessert buns. Each one is freshly made and flavorful! Overall, Kung Fu Noodle is an good choice for anyone seeking comforting, flavorful, and authentic Taiwanese food. read more

I've been going to this place for many years and there has been changes in ownership every couple of years. I came here today and was told there's been another change most recently 2 months ago. This by far his has been the most pleasant visit. The food was fresh and the dumpling wrapper was thin. The soup dumplings were filled with soup and the pot stickers were pan fried to perfection. They've also added more dish options to the menu as well. They've updated their indoor decor and it's nice and clean. Highly recommend this place and will be back very soon! read more

I have been coming here for years at this point when my friend lived in the apartments right behind this restaurant showed me it. All I can say is wow. Their food is extremely authentic. The dumplings are all made infront of you as you walk in. Our highlighted dishes we always get is the Taiwanese fried chicken, the beef soup, the chicken dumplings, and the Dan Dan noodles, cucumber salad. This place has all that you would look for in a dim sum spot and more. Their service is quick and no frills like I would expect in an establishment of this nature. We will continue to come back! read more

From the mouth of my 10-year old, "great taste and great value!" Admittedly, we had not been back for a while mainly because this is a little out of the way for us. However, my husband had the great suggestion of eating here this week and just wanted to re-iterate how much we LOVE eating the food here. This visit, we saw the house special menu on the board next to the entrance that is not on their written menu that is handed to you when you order. I have to say that placement of that sign does not make it very obvious, but luckily we saw it. All the items on that sign looks very good and the prices are soooooo affordable that we had to order off it. The dishes we ordered on this visit were all delicious and such great value for your money. First to come out was the stir-fry green beans with garlic. Absolutely tender and yum! Then there was the beef noodle soup, so flavorful! We also had the Dan Dan noodles, large and filling and tasty as well. We had the pan fried pork buns - quite yummy but I was getting full at this point! Saving the best for last was the pork Xiao long bao, the star of the meal - large and juicy. The skin of the dumplings was thin and delicious! This place is definitely a hidden gem. If you are interested in good food and great prices, this is the place!!! If you want ambiance and a luxe settings, then I would say this will not meet your expectations. The restaurant is nice enough, but the interiors will not wow you. The food will definitely satisfy though! read more

Service is EXTREMELY SLOW and missing items ordered. Including us, there are 5 tables here. I had to order a beef noodle soup with udon noodles 3 times from multiple servers. Only when the kitchen staff came to our table did the right order get delivered. I also had to order steamed rice twice. Again it didn't arrive until the kitchen staff came. Server came by once as we are finishing to refill water. The change in ownership has really hurt this place. The +1 star was for the fantastic taste of the beef noodle soup. Definitely the star of the show. I really wanted to like this place since under previous ownership their food taste, menu selection, service, and prices were excellent. This place also used to be one of the only authentic mainland chinese restaurants in the entirety of North County without having to go to Convoy or Irvine. Sadly, this will be the last time we come here. read more

If you are looking for that hole in the wall noodle & dumpling restaurant that serves authentic hand pulled noodles and hand made dumplings this is the spot. From the fresh steamed vegetables to the Dan Dan noodles to the steamed soup dumplings nothing disappoints... Authentic chewy, generous size and servings portions with authentic flavors everything we ordered was on target. As with a number of restaurants of this caliber services was polite but not overly attentive and although the restaurant was clean it was not spotless. I highly recommend this restaurant for the food and the heart & sole that you can taste in every bite... read more

We stopped in for dinner. Our first impression was not great. There was only one other party in the restaurant waiting for a to go order. There was a sign at the front counter saying cash or Venmo only. (When asked they claimed their credit card connection was down, but we had noticed several other previous reviews saying cash only). Several of the tables had not been bused. A murky fish tank was near the entrance. Overall, a bland basic ambiance and not very spic and span. Since there were many good reviews on Yelp about the food and the fresh house made noodles, we decided to stay, if we could get a cold beer with our meal. We did and we were very glad to have stayed. The menu is a sheet of paper with pencil to mark what you want to order. Make sure to look for the Chef's Specials on a white board hanging on a wall listing five or six more entrees and appetizers. Once seated we were able to see them making fresh dumplings. We then noticed the excellent Motown background music. We were promptly served Ice Water and our cold beers. We decided on Crab and Pork Dumplings along with some Dan Dan Noodles. Our order was quickly prepared; it came steaming hot and it was just delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. The Dan Dan Noodles was plenty for my wife and I to share. The house hot sauce on the table went perfect with the Dumplings. While we were there, there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick up to go orders. Also, four other parties came to dine in. For the quality and proportions of the meals the prices were excellent. Kung Fu Noodle is certainly a welcome addition to the dining experience available in Vista. read more

Honestly, a hidden gem! I think that portions were generous for the price and it was so good. You can tell it's handmade noodles and dumplings, there's a lovely lady making them inside & it doesn't feel like a gross-full feeling after eating. I didn't get a picture, but the Taiwanese fried chicken was also good, they're small pieces but there's plenty. Popcorn chicken size - like. I'd go here again! It wasn't too busy when we went on Easter, lots of open tables. You check in with the front then pick a seat, they'll give you a paper to write your order. read more

The location looks good, the food came out really fast, everyone was nice but the food was ok.

A low-key Taiwanese restaurant located in a spacious plaza. I was attracted by the dan-dan noodle and my friend ordered beef noodle soup. Dan-dan noodles - I really liked the consistency of these slightly thick and chewy noodles. They were perfect and I usually don't care for us on or a lot of noodles in a dish. The minced meat was fine and the peanut flavor hit the savory spot. I did bite down on a chunk of peanut butter or so in there, not sure if that's normal. Veggies in the dish were nice to have, napa and broccoli etc I appreciated it. They take Venmo and other forms of payment here and the register guy was very attentive. The small to go portion I brought home, I ended up devouring later. Very casual dining on a Sunday afternoon. read more
