Spicy beef noodle
Valerie H.

I would've never imagined Gaslamp to have a such a good noodle place, but the food here really blew me away. We tried the noodle dishes and that fresh hand pulled noodle really makes it stand out. They definitely have their dough right to give the noodles a bouncy texture. We tried the hand pulled noodle and the knife cut, and while I really like a thicker noodle, the hand pulled noodle picked up the broth really well. The braised beef in the beef noodle is packed with flavor and is sooo tender. The Lanzhou noodle comes with sliced beef with its own savoriness and is so soft as well. I really couldn't choose a fav between the two. The beef noodle was more savory, but the Lanzhou noodle broth was simple but rich making it super comforting. We came here during a weekend lunch and the service was fast and friendly. You can even watch them make the noodles on the spot with their open kitchen.

After bar hopping in gaslamp, we decided to grab some food. It was pretty busy when we came on a Sunday night. We order buns for an appetizer and then we each got our own bowls. The buns weren't terrible but nothing that I would personally comeback for. The noddles on the other hand are the reason for the 5 star review. (They were so good that I forgot to get a picture)

Beef chow mein, chicken fried rice, and beef rolls
Kevin E.

Decent option for Chinese food in San Diego. We ordered take out for dinner but the restaurant itself seemed very comfortable and inviting. Very nice service!!! In terms of the food, everything tasted very standard and nothing really stood out. I enjoyed the Special chow mein and the Beef rolls but would probably skip the Special fried rice next time. Prices are ok and portions are reasonable. I don't think there's any other remotely authentic Chinese restaurant in this part of SD so this restaurant will have to do.

Beef chow mein
Lindsay S.

This place is phenomenal! The noodles are amazing. I love that they make them right in front of you when you walk in. There's inside and outside seating, but it's a busy restaurant! The staff was so attentive. I went with the cucumber salad and knife-shaved noodle chow mein. Both were flavorful and absolutely delicious. The sauces were so tasty. They were a good size. I could have easily shared it with someone. If I was local this would be one of my top dining spots.

Casual local Chinese spot with homestyle food. Party of four walking in on a weekday for lunch. Restaurant was mostly full but still a few tables available so we were able to be seated right away. Highlights include their noodles that are freshly made to order. The quality and texture really hits differently and I recommend trying two different noodles types if you can. Also recommend the Jianbing as another tasty authentic dish. Xiao long bao were solid and juicy. Staff was friendly, direct, and efficient. Kept up with filling waters and ensuring we had everything we needed.

Came here for lunch during comic con weekend. We are rarely ever in the DT area but for comic con we make an exception. So glad to find Asian food walking distance as our little one is a picky eater. It took us a while to get seated as the comic con crowds were in full swing. They didn't have any kind of sign up sheet to put your name down so we had to keep track of which place we were in line based on when we got there. There was seating available inside and outside of the restaurant. Food was delicious and came out fairly quickly. The noodles were hand pulled in the kitchen (glass window so you can watch them doing this). Not too far from the convention center and prices were fair, like cheaper DT version of DTF haha.

We visited Noodle & Bun during Comic Con weekend. The line was long, but they were quick to seat people once a table was available. The restaurant was spacious, and they also had outdoor seating. I ordered Spicy Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. It was delicious. The brisket was tender. The noodles were freshly made and chewy. And the broth was packed with tons of flavor; it was very filling. It wasn't really spicy, so I just added more chili for more kick. My group also enjoyed the dumplings, fried rice, and edamame. The reason for the 4 stars was because of the service. We noticed that no one came to our table until we called for a server and told them we were ready to order. The groups seated after us got to place their orders before we did. And lastly, one of the cups given to us was dirty. They replaced it right away when we asked for a clean cup. Overall, I still enjoyed our visit to Noodle & Bun. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. The staff was nice, but service was okay and unorganized. Maybe they were tired since it was Comic Con weekend, and there were tons of people. I'll still come back here when I am in the area for the food

Scallion pancakes, sorry we ate some before the pic

We stayed an extra day after Comic Con to get situated and stumbled upon this place early in the morning. It looked so good, we came back after they opened. This place brings me back to the days of family trips to Chicago's China town! It's very spacious, and feels very authentic. The server was very quick and friendly, he even told us that we needed to try the noodles. Unfortunately, we were not trying to hit a food coma so early, and ended up getting the juicy dumplings, scallion pancakes and spicy beef shank. The beef was my favorite, as it was chilled, but flavorful, which was perfect for the hot weather. I will definitely be coming back here next year!

N1 and N2 from the menu. Cucumbers.
Ginna S.

After eating Mexican food for days, we needed a change up. Both soups were delicious. The broth of the first one is a little less dense while the second one, is more deep/flavorful. The quantity and quality of the meat in the soups were also generous. The hand pulled noodles were perfectly chewy and the cucumbers were a nice cool addition to our warm soups. Our waiter was friendly and helpful and the place was large/big enough for me to bring in/park my daughter's stroller. It's a nice place for larger groups to be accommodated. Will come back here to try some of their other dishes such as their soup dumplings and etc...

Inside
Beto R.

Even with all the great dining options in the Gaslamp Quarter, we still couldn't pass up on trying a new Asian noodle place while visiting the area. Inside, the restaurant was very clean and quite spacious, with seating for 60 plus guests, and there was also an outdoor seating area for 20 more. Through the open kitchen glass, we could see the staff making the noodles, assuring their freshness and handcraftsmanship. The friendly staff guided us to our table and brought the menu and water right away. The huge menu poster on the front glass window helped us to decide what to get before entering the restaurant, and we ordered the following dishes: Wonton Soup with Added Knife Shaved Noodles: The clear broth was light yet savory, blending with a subtle aroma of green onion and cilantro. The handmade noodles were cooked perfectly with a slightly firm texture. The wontons had delicate wraps and were well seasoned, while the seaweed and shredded eggs added extra flavor. Special Chow Mein Combo with Knife Shaved Noodles: The sauce was umami sweet and not too greasy. The knife shaved noodles were beautifully sauteed and retained their slightly chewy texture. The sliced beef pieces were tender and well blended with shrimps and ham pieces. A nice culinary find in an unexpected place. Highly recommended.

Veg chow mein
Jim E.

Don't go here unless you want to come back another day to try more of the menu. . . Stopped by here during comic-con Nice restaurant for hand pulled noodles and dumplings. Staff is SUPER friendly and attentive. Restaurant was very clean and inviting. You could go here for the staff alone, but the food is also delicious. We had multiple dishes, edamame, vegetable chow mein, Dan Dan noodles, spicy wonton, scallions pancakes, steamed buns. Prices were very reasonable, under $100 for 4 people with tax and tip. Highly recommend for the excellent food and service

Eli R.

So satisfied, was recommended and it Held Upppp, left a boujee restraint for this and let me tell you, order one off the whole menu bc it's so affordable and deliciously quality, service speedy and worker saved me from 100$ ticket, the spice beef noodle broth was like pho and ramen had a baby, the edamame delectable with the sauces, the bao buns so plush GET THEMMMM, and scallion pancakes like a Asian quesadilla mmm I'll be sleeping goooood tn

I came here for lunch and for their cucumber salad and combo fried rice. It was absolutely amazing! The cucumber salad does have garlic so warning but it was so fresh and crunchy. Service was also amazing!

The space inside is casual and straightforward, though it definitely gets packed fast during peak hours because locals know how good the food is. Looking at the spread we got, everything hits the spot. We started with the spicy sliced pork ears, which are super tender with a nice crunch and tossed in a bold chili oil and cilantro mix. For the mains, you come here for the noodles and they honestly never miss. The hand-ripped noodles are incredible--super thick, chewy, and served in massive bowls loaded with tender beef, brisket, or tripe. Whether you get the clear, savory broth or the spicy chili oil version, the portions are huge and the noodles have that perfect fresh-pulled texture.  Service was the real problem and I can't give them too much grace after our experience. They gave us all our food at a snail pace and was still missing one person's entree. After 20-30 minutes of waiting for his food, we asked the waitress to check on it and after going to the kitchen, she came back to tell us they ran out of that dish (beef paomo). At that point the rest of the table had pretty much finished their food as it's been about 45 minutes since we ordered. That was incredibly unprofessional. No apology, no offers to make it right. Just a "what would you like instead,sir". I loved the food but this type of scenario is not acceptable and I likely won't be back.

The food was great for what me and my man had ordered, ESPECIALLY the wings! They're supposedly spicy (since it had an option to choose 'have lesser spice') but wasn't spicy at all. It was some of the best garlic flavored wings I've had by far. My man had the short ribs which were perfectly flavored and tender and I chose the sizzling fish. I liked the fish, it was a very nice size dish but unfortunately I had to trade it in because I was feeling uneasy. (My personal reasons, had nothing to do with the dish itself) although I did hope for it to be more fried than what it was, maybe that's why I felt it to be a texture thing with me that day.. plus being nauseous the earlier morning...I guess I needed something more solid.... With that said, they gladly traded my meal for a second option, beef plate... and that was just perfect. Comes with miso and a side salad and rice. I got extra salad since my fish already had rice.

We decided on the pan-seared crispy noodles with beef and egg rolls. I also ordered a Spritz to accompany my meal. I wasn't a big fan of the crispy noodles, but my husband loved them. The flavor itself was really good but there was something about the texture of the crispy noodle that wasn't my jam. The egg rolls, though, were fantastic. They were perfectly crunchy and flavorful. There are so many other dishes on the menu that caught my eye, so I will definitely come back to try some of their other options.
