    Thought I reviewed it on our first visit but can't find my review so here we go... It's our second visit to Kungfu Ramen so trying something different. Got the braised beef ramen plus Mongolian chicken and xiao long bao for a new and very tasty adventure! Beef was nice and tender and the ramen soup with hand pulled original noodles was wonderfully savory with a tiny little kick and nice bouncy noodles too! The soup dumplings were nice and packed with flavor and the accompanying dipping sauce was nice. My friend was smiling ear to ear while eating their Mongolian chicken. We also ordered a stir fried rice noodle chicken to go (may have been a mix up and got regular noodles instead of rice noodles) which unfortunately am told was just ok. The dining room is clean and service is fast. Food is nice and hot so it was perfectly timed and just what we needed! It's nice to know the noodles are made fresh in house so you can order the type of noodles you want. Looking forward to giving m them another try for the stir fried rice noodles and hope to get the right one next time. Didn't realize there was a mix up until we brought it home. Parking is easy and right outside the door.

    I've been coming here for months and it is mighty tasty. They recently updated the interior and it looks brighter and bigger now. The menu changed a little bit, but I was still able to get my favorite. I love this place because everything is basically made in house and it tastes so good. The staff is kind and welcoming. I was impressed by their to go bag, cute and effective to keep your leftovers warm.

    They're back open after renovations. Kung Fu Ramen did an overhaul and is now Kung Fu Noodles. They have the same menu with a couple added dishes from the chandler location. Food is excellent. Hand pulled noodles are the best in town. I loved the Pickled Veggie Fried Rice as well. The XLB is hand made and delicious too.

    Tomato beef noodle soup and 8 Steamed Dumplings
    Amanda C.

    Had issues with DoorDash here - apparently they never got our order in there system even though DD said they did. Got my refund with DD so it was fine. Ended up ordering to-go and got the tomato beef noodle soup and dumplings. The noodle soup was just OK - oddly very sour/tart compared to any tomato beef noodle soup we've ever had, so we didn't really like it. The steamed dumplings were just OK. Probably won't return but they are quite popular for other items, give it a try and decide for yourself.

    I left this restaurant four hours ago and while parking my car at home I had a neighbor ask me if I'd recommend this place for lunch........I quickly thought about it and replied "yes." Our server was super kind and answered all our menu questions in detail. I wasn't sure what to expect but really enjoyed the signature noodle soup. ($14.99) It arrived hot in a large bowl with VERY tender beef, chick peas, leafy greens, slices of tomatoes and lots of noodles. Interesting-Personally I don't recall ever having chickpeas in noodle soup before. Or I just haven't had enough varieties of Chinese noodle soups. :) ) The broth was very tasty! They have eight different varieties of noodles to choose from. Hand pulled: thin, regular, thick, chive, wide and extra wide. Knife-sliced noodles: regular and wide. My cohort's entrees came with generous portions of their choice of noodles! Stir fried lamb and regular noodles ($16.99) and chicken with sauce on thin noodles. ($14.99) One gal took half her entree home because she couldn't eat the large portion. No wait time for a table at noon today (Monday) and there is lots of free parking.

    Meat in Bun. Accurate description, haha!

    Ramen Fact: The word "ramen" may have come from the Chinese word "lamian," a type of Chinese noodle. With that said, don't come here thinking you're getting Japanese ramen. This is very much a Chinese noodle shop. Once you get that cleared up and in your head that you won't be inhaling Japanese ramen like Naruto, you will enjoy yourself! Our party of five got a wide variety of food to eat. Spicy Cucumber Salad, Scallion Pancake, Meat in Bun, and Xiao Long Baos were shared. For my main dish, I got the Sauce Mixed Noodles with lamb and chive noodles (although it didn't taste like chives to me). Everything was pretty good. Their spicy cucumber salad was standard and satisfying. It's no Michelin Star but it was still satisfying.The scallion pancake and meat in bun was nothing spectacular either but still very delicious. The XLBs were pretty good. Definitely get these if you stop into Kungfu Ramen. As for the Sauce Mixed Noodles, they were good! It comes in a tomato sauce and the noodles were delightfully springy. All in all, I enjoyed my meal with friends at Kungfu Ramen.

    Kungfu Ramen is an Asian restaurant which offers much more than ramen! I was pleased with the service. There were two individuals to seat and serve Customers. It was fast and friendly, so nothing to worry about there. Of course, arriving right at "opening" time helps! ;) There's much more than just ramen on the menu. Since they offered Dim Sum, I asked if they offered Shumai. Sadly, they didn't. The Xiao Long Bao (XLB) was made with beef. For me, this was out of the ordinary, given I'd had XLB made with either shrimp, pork or both in the past, but never beef. The flavor was okay and they were served steaming hot. The Scallion Pancake was light and thin; very delicate. I just wish it had more scallion flavor. The cucumber salad was okay, though it looked like the veggies were a bit old. Overall, the food and experience were good and I may visit again to try their ramen

    Chicken Stir-fried Noodles
    Fawne Y.

    Overall a 3.5/5 stars. We've been looking for a hand drawn noodle restaurant replacement ever since our favorite closed down last year. We would have never found this place if it weren't for some word of mouth. As others have stated, don't let the name fool you. It's not a Japanese ramen place! It should be "lamian," which is the Chinese word for noodles. You will only find Chinese staple dishes here (not American Chinese takeout style). The restaurant is super clean and the staff are gentle and kind. I appreciated how one employee helped me package our leftovers :) Portions are HUGE! One dish could easily become 2-3 meals for a single person. I ordered the Chicken Stir-fried Noodles with the default thickness of noodles. The flavor was good, but way too salty for me. Noodle texture was fine. It was also a bit greasy. My partner got the Lanzhou Noodles with thin noodles. I really enjoyed his dish. The seasoning was just right (still a touch too salty for me, but I am more salt sensitive). I kept asking for more spoonfuls of his broth. Something that I don't mind, but my partner does: the dish does mostly come with fattier and collagen heavy pieces of meat. We think Kungfu Ramen excels more with their noodle soups, so we plan on coming back to try their other noodle soup dishes and appetizers. I would not say Kungfu Ramen is a replacement for some of the beloved hand drawn noodle places that have come before it, but it is still solid enough for us to give it another chance.

    Steamed Pork Buns
    Daniel H.

    This was the place we saw when we were looking for a restaurant that had noodles. We came here for dinner around 7:15pm. The parking lot was dark but had enough parking spaces. We were seated immediately and looked at the menu in the low lighting. A lot of things on the menu sounded good to us. We ordered the Steamed Pork Buns ($9.99), Steamed Dumplings ($8.99), Pot Stickers ($8.99), Braised Beef Noodle Soup with hand-pulled wide noodles ($10.99), and the Spicy Noodle Soup ($10.99). The Steamed Pork Buns were delicious, the Steamed Dumplings were good, the Pot Stickers was good, the Braised Beef Noodle Soup with hand-pulled wide noodles was delicious, and the Spicy Noodle Soup was not bad. I especially liked the Steamed Pork Buns and the hand-pulled wide noodles from the Braised Beef Noodle Soup. The flavor of the broth was good and strong to me. I would recommend all of those if you don't know what to order. Good food here and I will be back in the future.

    4 BBQ Pork Bun (char siu bun)
    Kate H.

    Unassuming Chinese restaurant in Tempe. If you're actually looking for Japanese ramen, this isn't the place. This is more Chinese noodle soup. The staff is helpful and extremely nice. They are understaff, but who isn't during these times. We order the soup dumplings (xiao long bun), char siu buns, and sauce noodles with lamb. The soup dumplings were delicious and had a good amount of soup inside. They are hot so be careful putting the whole thing in your mouth so soon. The char siu buns were warm and fluffy. Not sure if those are home made or not. Nonetheless, a must order. The sauce noodles is a tomato base sauce. It's drenched in sauce and comes with bell peppers, zucchini, onion, tomato chunks, and of course your choice of noodles. I do recommend trying this place if you're looking for Chinese take-out/experience. ENJOY!

    Pan 6 Pan-fried Pork Buns, $9.99
    Stephanie L.

    Kung Fu Ramen is a misnomer as they do not serve ramen; they serve hand pulled noodles. Miscommunication error or whatever gets you through the door, right? After feeling sick I decided it would be an appropriate time to order soup. We were able to order easily via their website which has pictures for all of the items. 6 Pan fried pork buns, $9.99: A bit doughier than I expected, with the dough-to-meat ratio slightly skewed. Otherwise a solid bun. House noodle soup, $11.99: The soup was packaged separately from the noodle bowl which was a nice touch. The tomatoes and broccoli seemed like mismatched vegetables with the choy. The noodles were good although tbh I wouldn't know the difference between hand pulled noodles and packaged noodles (the shame lol). The soup included beef, beef brisket, and beef tendon. The beef was very tender and fell apart. The soup was good as well, not overly salty. Mongolian beef stir fry, $10.99: Lacked wok hay but a good, above average stir fry. Bf enjoyed and it reheated well the next day.

    We came here for lunch before our theatre matinee show on this side of town. It was highly recommended by many so we wanted to check it out. It's in a typical street mall and a pretty basic restaurant inside. The staff was very attentive and greeted us right away. We ordered the BBQ pork buns and scallion pancakes. We both had the house noodles with braised beef brisket. I was also looking at the soup dumplings but decided not to order since it would have been too much food for us. The appetizers were perfect. The pork buns were sizable and the breading was fluffy. I loved the fresh scallion pancakes. We scarfed those down. We really loved the fresh hand-pulled noodles. I love that you can choose which thickness of noodle you want. The broth was full of flavor. The portion of soup was huge and we both took half home. We could have easily shared a bowl for the two of us considering we had appetizers. I am a spice wimp so be sure to ask about the heat in the dishes. I didn't realize there was any spice for my noodle dish until it came out, but I was able to tolerate the heat level. Overall, we enjoyed this restaurant and will def come back when we are in the Tempe area.

    Kung Pao Chicken "From the Wok"
    Winnie L.

    Pro-tip: It's only $1 more for the "From the Wok" option which comes with a bowl of rice compared to the Rice/Noodle bowls. If you'd get rice anyways, you might be getting a better deal by paying $1 more and getting more protein and rice on the side? It's Chinese "ramen" noodles, not Japanese ramen! Highlights: Usually I don't think Chinese food is a good deal, but I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size of the kung pao chicken from the wok. They did not skimp on the chicken and overall I enjoyed the meal. I also ordered the House Noodle Soup with thin hand pulled noodles and loved the soup flavor and texture of the noodles. I would definitely dine in again. The staff was also very courteous and quick with our order. Lowlights: The kung pao chicken was slightly on the salty side for me and the rice was a little drier than I like. The menu isn't very clear on what the difference is between some dishes like "signature noodle soup" vs "braised noodle soup" vs "house noodle soup". I got there right as they opened at 11am and ordered the house noodle soup and apparently they were already out of "on the bone meat," so that's a little disappointing.

They still bring out food, drinks, and check on tables so there is service provided. Everything was quick and most of all tasty! Both of our ramens were medium spicy which can be modulated since the spicy paste is on the side and added to the broth. Overall both ramen bowls were delicious and with plenty of toppings included. One broth was clear, other was creamy and noodles had good texture. The noodle type isn't my exact favorite type of ramen but I still enjoyed it. I prefer a thicker ramen noodle. I still ate the whole damn thing lol. The chicken bun was very good although not spicy. I liked it-- chicken was nice and crispy and the bun was super soft & pillowy. The shrimp tempura hand roll was solid. No complaints. Tbh, I liked the food more than I expected to. Which is always nice when that happens.

Mixed the extra chilli and broth had little kick but not extra spicy. Ramen noodle was pretty tasty and chewy. Portion could have been little bit bigger but not too bad. Edamame was same ole same ole nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken karaage was bit disappointing, portion was pretty good but then chicken was soggy and didn't care for all the sweet sauce that was on it. My friend complained that her shoyu ramen was very salty. So I tasted the broth and it was little on the salty side. Over all food was not bad but I had a higher expectation.

The spice is one of those that slowly creeps up on you, but doesn't linger too long. The chashu pork was thin and savory. I usually don't enjoy bean sprouts, but here they were subtle and added a pleasant texture to the ramen. I also love that they included the naruto fish cake.

I would consider this place a hidden gem and definitely recommend it if you are near the area. I look forward to eating it again!
