My niece was in the mood for ramen, so I looked up nearby spots and found Lucky Noodle. After seeing so many great reviews on TikTok, we decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did! We started with the garlic cucumber slices, which were fresh and packed with flavor, and the fried potstickers were delicious. I had the braised beef soup with flat noodles, while my niece ordered the marinated chicken soup with thin noodles. Both soups were absolutely amazing and full of flavor. We learned that Lucky Noodle is a sister restaurant to Kung Fu Noodle, which I've been wanting to try. A friend who joined us has been to Kung Fu Noodle many times and said the soups were very similar. We're thrilled to have an option closer to home. I hear the Chinese burger is amazing and the fried chicken in pictures looked delicious . We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it! read more

Per my Yelp friend's great recommendation, we decided to try Lucky Noodle for the very first time :) ! This week was the first week of autumn :) ! But as we all know all too well in Texas, it doesn't truly cool down until at least mid to late October here! Lucky Noodle reminded me so much of Kung Fu Noodle near the San Antonio medical center area :) ! My Yelp friend told me that this is the "child" related location for Kung Fu Noodle :D ! I was absolutely stoked :D ! Especially since there are so many similarities between both restaurants in regards to the rich and hot braised beef brisket noodle soup, and the tasty dumplings :) ! I don't get to stop by Kung Fu Noodle as often anymore, especially since I moved closer to the northeast San Antonio. I am so grateful for this "child" location which not only provides high quality and authentic Chinese food :) ! But also fantastic customer service and a casual and comfortable ambiance for immersive and stimulating get-togethers with friends, family and co-workers :) ! Or even when you just want to come in solo to stop in for some delicious Chinese food :) ! I had eyed this Chinese restaurant ever since I noticed that it is right next to Daiso :D ! I didn't have time to truly stop in when I was in a hurry to get errands done. But it was such a nice surprise that my Yelp friend recommended dining here :D ! It was like she telepathically read my mind that I was craving this place :D ! Haha :D ! I will definitely be back :D ! And I'll have to tell my friends, colleagues and my sister to try this place :) ! read more

The hand-pulled noodles have a perfect chew, and the dumplings are huge, generously stuffed, and packed with delicious juice. You can tell everything is made fresh from scratch using high-quality ingredients. We've been coming here for years, and today being Sunday, we decided to bring the kids back for more of their delicious dumplings! The restaurant is clean, the owner is super welcoming, and service is quick. Great portions for a very reasonable price--an absolute gem of a spot that will always be our family favorite! read more

This has been sitting in my drafts for a bit...clearing out old photos and realized I never finished this review. Real glasses vs plastic for water. Real silverware and chopsticks. Yeah! Booth benches are hard and set far back from table. Boo. Great if you are of large girth aka fat. Yeah! Not so great if you're not because you have to perch on the edge of the bench to eat. Boo. Plenty of parking. Great prices and tasty food. Handmade noodles. Large portions. read more

3.5 rounded up: I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant! My friends and I also got some pork and chive dumplings which I really liked! The hand pulled noodles were fine. I really liked that they were fresh though I felt besides the spice, it lacked some flavor. The staff was nice and we came close to closing (which I often don't do because I don't like staying past closing). We left before closing so that was fine and I am glad the staff didn't make us feel any sort of way for being there close to the closing time. We got there when it was dinner time and it seems really popular! read more

This is my favorite restaurant of all time. Fantastic food! The dumplings and soups are absolutely fantastic.

Great family friendly restaurant with huge menu. Seated quickly. Drinks came out fast. They make their own noodles. You can customize basically everything on the menu. I saw a woman eating a tasty-looking sandwich and asked her what it was - she showed me a poster and spelled it out for me. Only available on weekends- this pork and pepper "sandwich was filling and flavorful. My hubby went with beef noodles ( the flat hand-pulled ones) with a mild sauce. He's a regular here for the great tasting food. Brisk take out business. Plenty of parking out front ( part of a strip mall). Clean! The young man cleaning up a child set wiped off every single surface! read more

Lucky Noodle - The menu for the restaurant - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

It's official, I'm on a dumpling diet. Not sure what my goal is with this diet but I have a feeling I'll be able to stick to it. And places such as this are a really big help. A plate of dumplings is only 10 bucks and it's an entire plate of them. Unfortunately they were out of the pork scallion so I went with beef cabbage and was just as delighted. I also tried the weekday special pork sandwich thing. I'm not saying you definitely have to eat here but if you don't you're wrong and I hate you read more

I love Lucky Noodle! To me this place is super authentic! Specially with the hand pulled noodles! I also love how everyone is Chinese and barely speaking English!

We happened upon this place when we landed from our flight. It's a bit tucked away in a strip mall but there is a Daiso nearby. Their prices were very fair and you got a great portion for the price. We ordered the pork and cabbage dumplings (20 for $10) and the hand pulled noodle with beef soup. The dumplings were fantastic and even better with soy sauce. The noodle soup was also good, but I will warn for those who can't tolerate spice- we ordered mild and it was still extremely spicy to me. It had a good flavor but even my friend, who had a higher spice tolerance, his face was red and nose was running by the end. Good service, great prices, good food! read more

It's in a little strip mall so there's tons of parking. When we first walked in they greeted and sat us immediately since we came to beat the dinner rush that my cousin said usually hits this place according to my cousin. We sat in a booth, ordered, and our food came out sooooo fast! I didn't care to order any appetizers, but I'm so glad that my cousin got the garlicky cucumber. I thought okay, garlic and cucumbers, but it was GOOD and refreshing. You definitely need to get this if it's a hot day or if you're ordering soup because it's so cold and refreshing and tastes so good in that simple soy/sesame oil and fresh garlic sauce! The dumplings came after, and I'm a dumping junky. It came just plopped on to a plate but it was good. You could tell the skins were home made and were just the right amount of thickness. I wish there was more flavor to the filling so that got 3/5 stars for me. The thing that saved it was dipping it in vinegar, soy sauce, mixed with some of the chili oil crunch. The noodles. Okay, so they're known for their hand pulled noodles and it didn't disappoint. I got the thin noodles and it was just the right amount of thickness to soak up some of the soup but hold a nice al dente bite to it at the same time. The beef was so tender and so good, and an unassuming amount of it cause it was sitting on top and the bottom of the bowl. It could have had more vegetables if you ask me, but you come for the noodles. The soup was a 3.5/5 star. You could tell it had a good long simmered base but it was a little bland so I had to add some soy sauce to it. Everyone loved the food, but I come from a ramen culture where the soup has more umami to it so maybe that's why I had higher expectations. All in all a great experience with the service and food here. Try it out for sure if you've never had hand pulled noodles, because it makes a huge difference! read more

Lucky Noodle is your quintessential Chinese noodle shop - tasty noodles, delicious dumplings all at a great price, and staff that doesn't check on you too much. Everything you would really need is at your table - napkins, vinegar, and chili oil. The beef brisket noodle soup, beef noodle soup, marinated pork noodle soup, all with flat noodles were amazing. The noodles are so chewy and thick, and the broth is somehow light but packed with flavor. The brisket is my favorite but you can't go wrong with any of the hand pulled noodles. Make sure you don't wear a white shirt when you get the noodles as you will get splashed. The pork and chive dumpling are what you expect from any mom and pop shop in Chinatown - stuffed with pork and chives and pair perfectly with any noodle dish or dipped in chili oil and vinegar and eaten by itself. We love these so much that we even got a box of them frozen so we can have them at home too. Lucky Noodle has become one of our staples in the San Antonio area! read more

One of the best noodle spots in town! The service is warm, the ambiance is cozy and intimate, and the food never disappoints. I've heard this place may share the same owner as Kung Fu Noodles, another favorite of mine, though I'm not sure if that's still the case. Either way, the quality here has always been excellent, and the portions are consistently generous. read more

I've been coming to Lucky Noodle for years and I'm happy that they still have the consistent, quality, budget-friendly menu. I stopped by on a weekday night and ordered the beef with hand pulled noodle. It includes some bok choy in a savory soup that can be made to the spiciness of your choosing. The service is friendly and the food comes out quickly if you order the noodles. This is my go-to place for quick eats and comfort food. They also have a variety of other dishes like stir-fried foods, cold noodles, and other interesting items. Seats includes booths and tables. It's not a large restaurant and probably fits about 15 groups of 4. read more

Lucky Noodle - Hand-Pulled Noodle with Beef - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I really enjoyed the garlicky cucumbers as an appetizer. They were cool and refreshing. Their dumplings were yummy and they come with 20 pc in an order which is a good deal. I also got the noodles with marinated pork. I chose medium for the spice level and flat noodle for the noodle type. The pork was sort of dry which is disappointing- I tried the lamb that my friend had and it was juicier & more flavorful. The portions are pretty big so the value is good! read more

The hand pulled pork soup is so savory. The bok choy adds that earthy taste that compliments the soup nicely. I added the marinated egg for extra saltiness and protein. It's my favorite. The picked cabbage, carrots, and yellow peppers offer a nice sour taste to the meal. My next visit will be to try some of the fried rice. It looked so tasty. read more

We've been converted to lucky noodle after long time dedicated fans to kung fu noodle on huebner. Man the food here is just 10x better, more umami and msg flavor and the dumplings are a pop of flavor. Sodies are on tap and they even have sweet tea unlike kung fu. Kung fu only wins the meat category of their chicken wings, pork belly, and lamb. Oh and their short rib (pork rib). read more

Lucky Noodle - Pork Noodle - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

When I'm feeling like soup, my #1 go to place is Lucky Noodle. The broth is unbelievably flavorful and I always order an extra quart to take home because the homemade pulled noodles are so plentiful and silky that I can't eat the whole serving in one sitting. I usually get the Lamb because it if very tender and well seasoned. The servings are big and the price is surprisingly more than reasonable at less than $12. The meat stuffed dumplings are also very good and an order of marinated cucumbers provide the "green" vegetables to help round out the meal when I don't order extra Bok chow. Lucky Noodle is my "comfort food" go to place. You can't go wrong with Lucky Noodle. They are open everyday except Tuesday. read more

The food was so good. Service was very good also. Have been back again and will continue to eat there.

Their hand-pulled noodles are delicious. I also highly recommend all of their dumplings. The portions are also enormous. The service is great. The server checks on your table often. When you're done you pay at the register. The ambience is casual. I usually see families when I stop by. It's a great place to visit for some authentic noodles. read more

Lucky Noodle - Noodles with Marinated Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have visited Lucky Noodle many times. So, obviously something must be good about it. Their food is always made to order. They do their noodles handmade in house. But the vibe on the floor with the staff is chaotic. They're often bringing food to wrong table or bring you the wrong dish. It must be a language and communication barrier. But the food is what keeps me coming back. I inhale their dumplings. Any of the soups are great. I used get the braised brisket soup or for an entree meal I opt for the cumin lamb. All are delicious. They're usually closed in Tuesdays read more

Amazing portion sizes! Delicious food! The lamb soup with flat noodles is my favorite!

The soups are tasty and very filling. Watch out on the heat level , one is hot enough and you have hot pepper oil to increase the heR to your liking. Level two you'll be taking a sip of tea after each spoonful. Then there is level 3... The dumplings are great! All noodles are hand made on the premises, a big plus. Service is good but the male server is surely and acts like he does not want to be there. read more

Originally wanting to try the local pho place and found this establishment with favorable reviews, ample space with nice decorative drawings, disappointed they don't carry pho, it's more of a dumpling place with hand made thick noodles, ordered their house noodle w brisket beef and one with sliced beef. The broth was fairly hearty but little too much herby and shrimp pork dumpling was good but not to die for. Shrimp fried rice was just that. Overall the food was 7/10, atmosphere 6/10, service 7/10, value 8/10. read more

Lots of good food for low price. We dropped by the Lucky Noodle after Noemi's basketball game. We were hungry... We ordered soups, an order of dumplings, and,...well that was plenty. The soups were filling. The bowls didn't look that big, but the noodles were endless. The broths, for the braised brisket and the roasted chicken were both balanced and hot. The vegetables softened the flavor well and gave the soups another dimension. Plenty of proteins to pair with your noodles. The dumplings were good, it had a lot of flavor, and the cucumbers were refreshing. Let me say we had plenty leftover despite putting a huge dent in the appetizers. If you are in a mood for hand tossed noodles...this is your place. read more

I heard some people recommending this place lately so I decided to try it out! It was pretty good! The noodles and soup tasted fresh and authentic, and was the perfect temperature. The beef was great unlike a lot of noodle places I have been, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, and did their job professionally. The environment was nice, and the tables were clean, I will probably end up coming back here sometime soon. Thanks! read more

After hearing so many friends and Yelpers rave about Lucky Noodle, we finally gave it a try. We left there wondering what other places they've tried if they think this one is great. We tried dumplings, stir fry noodles with pork and soup with pork. The server gave us some fancy non-disposable chopsticks that were pretty useless and couldn't grip the slippery dumplings and noodles. We saw others around us asking for wooden chopsticks instead, so we did the same. The food was absolutely not worth the hype, especially not compared to our favorite hand pulled noodles place (Mian in 78258). Bland soup, bland dumplings, and the only thing with some flavor was the stir fry noodles, but they weren't good enough to warrant any further visits. I took most of the soup home thinking I could fix it and make it better, but I ended up tossing it out. If Lucky Noodle is near you, maybe it's worth visiting. If you need to make a drive for hand pulled noodles, there are definitely other places that make the drive worthwhile. read more

Lucky Noodle - Definitely didn't have the taste we wanted. - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place does get very busy especially when we went here on a Saturday and there were only 2 full servers. However, we were able to get our food pretty fast with all things consider. So if you have left over food they have containers, so probably faster for you to get it. You pay at the counter otherwise you will be waiting a long time for this. Do not use the bathroom here and if you do wash your hands quickly as the bathroom is very dirty. Food itself was pretty disappointing as it was very salty and spicy. The meat was pretty dry itself. The dumpling was a little hard. We probably will not be eating here again anytime soon. read more

Dully adequate. The pinyin sign on the wall promised "a mountain of noodles " and the bowl was filled. The taste of the noodles was coarse and grainy. The hot oil at the table was pasty and lacking flavour. The interior showed its age. I don't know if this is an actual franchise or a copy of a restaurant. Even the logo seems digitally altered and printed with artefacts present. Was Wednesday early dinner an off day? read more

If a visiting friend wanted good food I'd take them here. The service and ambiance was on par with what you'd expect. Nothing over the top and nothing bad. The food however was great. With the noodles you can tell that they're hand pulled, and the mapo tofu was flavorful. More.importantly I've been looking for a good dumpling over the past few years and Lucky noodle does a great job with them. They have a large variety and it comes with 20 pieces for $9. We were full after our meal and it only cost ~$15 each. So it's a great value as well. read more

There is no doubt that Lucky Noodle is one of the better regional Chinese specialty restaurants in San Antonio. As I'm constantly exploring the city (and oftentimes looking for quality Asian eats!), I really couldn't be more thankful that it's around. Hand pulled noodles have yet to achieve notoriety locally, but places like this (#1) show the la mian scene is looking quite promising. The Chinese name 兰州拉面, is famous and known more appropriately as Lan Zhou La Mian (Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles). I've seen it across every Asian food city in the US, yet it feels kind of surreal to me that it somehow made it here in SATX before other Chinese regional cuisines. There's no way around it, the food is fantastic. Whether it's wide or thin, the noodles are excellent all around. For the thin variety, I like it in a soup but the wide one is even better as a stir fried noodle. The latter with lamb or beef (牛/羊肉炒麵) is my favorite way to have them and I'd couple that with an order of their boiled dumplings (水餃) or the Chinese "hamburger" with pork (肉夾饃). They also have a number of other really quality dishes, many of which have nothing to do with noodles. Take their mapo tofu for instance, which has a decent amount of heat and tastes wonderful. A popular starter is their cucumber in garlicky sauce (蒜泥黃瓜) or the "pancake rolled with crisp fritter" (煎餅果子). Another hard to find item in SA is their big try chicken aka (大盤雞) dapanji, which is a perfect group friendly dish of chicken and noodles. Combine the food with stellar service and affordable prices and a super spacious restaurant, and that's how one gets to 5 stars. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and subsequent food coma. _____________ (#1) And Kungfu Noodle (https://www.yelp.com/biz/kungfu-noodle-san-antonio) read more
