Food and service is amazing! Some of the best authentic Chinese food I've had in the entire country. They do their best when they're busy, and they deserve all the business they get! Jason and Zack are the goats ;) read more

This is when I finally realized my death row last meal. I've spent a considerable amount of time attempting homemade roujiamos, just trying to inch towards the one I had at OX2. And let me tell you, mine is like a turd on a bun. I don't know how they do it. If you are lucky enough to be near OX2, please grab 12 or 40 roujiamos and bring them to me. I signed up for yelp solely to to review this place. Its unreal. read more

First timer !! Places a to go order Very friendly over the phone and in person I went around 1:30 and it was packed in there for a weekday All the food I ordered was delicious My only complaint was the chicken in the chicken soup was a bit soggy chewy tasting but other than that quality of food was great and very tasty Hopefully I'll come back and have dine in experience and try more things off the menu read more

OX2 Buns & Noodles is an absolute gem in Chattanooga. It's easily one of the best restaurants of its kind we've ever eaten at, and we'll be back. We went all in and ordered the cucumber salad, Jason Special #1, beef curry noodles, shrimp fried rice, pork and chicken soup dumplings, and the scallion pancake beef roll. Every dish was delicious. The flavors were immaculate and everything was cooked perfectly. We didn't have a single miss all night. The service matched the food. Jason and Olivia were SO helpful and amazing. They made us feel so welcome and gave us some of the best service we've had anywhere. If you're in Chattanooga, do yourself a favor and go. Order the soup dumplings, try the Jason Special, and say hi to Jason and Olivia! Ambiance was amazing too read more

I really wanted to like it more! It was busy we had about a 30 minute wait. We had pan fried Chrisley dumplings. They were decent only fried on one side. We tried the steamed soup dumplings. They were quite bland just kind of mushy. Third thing we had was the scallion pancake beef roll. Portion was huge sadly it just really lacked flavor even with the sauces there didn't help. I really had higher hopes for better casing stuff. Would probably stop again to try some other dishes. My biggest memory is a lingering aftertaste that I couldn't seem to get rid of for the next six hours. :( read more

So amazing and worth the 1.5 hour drive from Knoxville to try superbly authentic hand-pulled noodles. The beef noodle soup is reminiscent of Vietnamese pho. Broth was very clean and tasty. Not overly fatty. The stir fry had great wok hei and was a great smokey cumin flavor. The staff were great and explained all the options. They guided us on which sauces to use and how to eat everything as intended to maximize flavor. The soup dumplings themselves were worth the drive, let alone everything else! Definitely going to drive down here again. MANY TIMES at that. read more

this restaurant is totally worth the hype! i searched places to eat on instagram while on vacation in chattanooga and this restaurant looked incredible and had great reviews from local foodies/content creators. i especially wanted to try it out because of the homemade hand pulled noodles, and getting to WATCH them make the noodles through the window. overall great experience and something i don't get back home. it is a must try!! to start the service was impeccable. we didn't have just one server, multiple servers stopped by to attend our table and every single one was friendly and exceeded the customer service standard. it was very busy, a packed house, and they still were amazing and it didn't take long at all to get the food. the space was very inviting and welcoming for sure. the food was incredible. coming from out of state i wanted to try as much as possible. we got the soup dumplings and pan fried potstickers. they were SO FREAKING GOOD. i got the beef noodle soup with regular noodles, and my daughter got the chicken soup with regular noodles. the broth was so flavorful and the noodles were absolute perfection. the herbs in the broth made it even better. my other daughter got the fried rice and it was the best fried rice i've eaten at a restaurant. i've stopped ordering fried rice in restaurants because i can make it better at home, but this just topped everything. my bf got the chicken stir fry with medium wide noodles and it was also the best stir fry dish ive ever had. just looking at it you could see it was full of flavor and spice. i almost wish i ordered the same thing or at least ordered some more to-go because of how good it was. whether you live in the area or are visiting, this is a must try. i would go back in a heartbeat. thank you for the great restaurant experience read more

I was skeptical I would enjoy OX2 Buns & Noodles but my boyfriend saw the viral YouTube review from Brennen Taylor and insisted we go. The restaurant is in a strip-mall and seems to be thriving. People are in and out continuously. Our waiter Jason was the server on the YouTube video which has made him somewhat a celebrity! Catch their IG ox2buns_and_noodles and you'll catch the Jason Show! We picked out a few things that Jason helped recommend (still not sure what I ate) but it was delicious! Prices are reasonable to allow variety. Service was good considering how busy they were and the food was prepared fresh and served hot. You can watch the food preparation via glass partition which was cool. I was very impressed by Ox2 and look forward to a return visit!! read more

This is not just the best Asian restaurant in Chattanooga, this is the best place to eat in Chattanooga. Period. Every dish is done to maximize flavor and freshness. The broth in the noodle soups is outrageous! Deep, rich flavors. The hand pulled noodles are perfection. Cooked perfectly so they still have body to them. The thick noodles are my favorite. The beef short rib curry noodle soup is simply the best item on the menu. Love the beef rougamo. Love the cucumbers. Love the pan fried dumplings. The service is even better than the food. Friendly and fast, but not rushed. Best ever. Don't ever change. read more

Wow. Just wow . Food was served quickly and perfectly. I loved that they had an electronic menu with photos- my mom wanted to see it because she had no idea what any of it was. Our server was patient and gave great recommendations. This was a stop through visit and we only had to wait about 10 minutes. My understanding is that usually the line is out the door and down the sidewalk. If you're in the area give them a try- or get it to go. I highly recommend the "hamburger" made with lamb and add some of the chili sauce. read more

Ox2 Buns and Noodles in Chattanooga is absolutely worth the hype, but definitely get there right when they open because the line starts forming at the door fast. It's first come, first serve, and for good reason. Inside, it's decorated super cute, and one of the coolest parts is the window where you can watch them making the food fresh. We ordered the beef rougamo, which was kind of like an arepa and packed with flavor with just a little spice, the pork soup dumplings, the scallion pancake beef roll, and the beef stir-fried hand-pulled noodles. Honestly, everything was so good. The scallion pancake beef roll was especially flavorful, and you could really taste the freshness in every dish. Portion sizes were good, prices felt fair, and the service was amazing. They take your order on an iPad and bring everything out as it's ready, which made the whole experience feel easy and efficient. I'd absolutely come back. Between the fresh handmade food, the cute space, and how smoothly everything ran, this spot definitely lives up to the long line read more

Delicious! It's a small dining room, so plan to wait a bit if it's during peak times. Food is served quick and hot. Staff service is odd as we had four different servers, but it works and you'll never want for anything. read more

Located in a busy shopping center along Gunbarrel, there is plenty of parking. It's all across a busy traffic lane from the entrance but traffic was quite considerate so crossing was without incident. There are also numerous handicapped spaces near the entrance. There is a ramp for access to the sidewalk close to the entrance. You enter through a set of double doors. The cashier is straight ahead in the corner. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. We were greeted after entering and told there would be a 20 minute wait for dining in. There were at least three tables and one booth which appeared clean and ready for customers, but there were several people waiting outside on the sidewalk. We were going to eat there but decided to place the order as to go. We were provided menus and given several minutes to decide. We then flagged a server to place our order. After placing the order we were then told it would be 20 to 30 minutes to receive our order. Since this was well after the lunch rush we would have preferred having this information up front to make a better informed decision on if we really wanted to wait that long. Still, with all the good reviews we decided this was our chance so we kept the order. Since we didn't have any other plans in that area, we waited in the car since it was a pretty nice day. I went back inside after 20 minutes and was able to flag someone down to check on our order. It was not ready so I waited in the one chair near the door. I did not see a line on the sidewalk this time, but a couple people came in after me and were told it would be 20 minutes for a table. Again, there were several clean tables but they were filled over the next 10 minutes or so. My order was ready in another 15 minutes, so 35 minutes from initially placing the order. It was packaged in sturdy clamshell containers and did not spill during the short ride home. The roast pork fried rice was fine. There was a decent amount of pork included. The flavor was good, although I did not notice anything unique based on their description being "Home made". The dish included peas, small pieces of carrot, and a few pieces of scrambled egg. The overall flavor was fine but nothing stood out. The chicken stir fry noodle (knife sliced) was another decent dish, if not notable. There was a good amount of chicken included and everything was seasoned well and cooked properly. While the meals were decent, there was nothing notable about them. read more

Was recommended to try this restaurant and told it was one of the only good Chinese food in the area. Definitely delicious. I ordered the curry beef stew with thick hand pulled noodles. The noodles were very bouncy and perfect in texture, and the broth had good flavor, could've be a little bit richer. Also tried their xiao long bao's and mini fried baos, both were pretty good. Juicy and flavorful! It can get busy inside, so make sure to call ahead to see how busy it is, or make sure you have time to wait a little bit! read more

I actually called ahead of time to see how long the wait time would be, since I've heard that wait times could be 30 minutes to an hour. They were quick to answer over the phone that wait time wasn't bad so we headed over after. Once we got inside, the place was packed. We waited for about 10 minutes before we were seated at a booth by the back. They were pretty busy that night, we came past 7 on a Friday evening. We ordered a Cucumber Salad, two Beef Hand Pulled Noodle Soups (Regular & Medium Wide noodle), and a Beef Stir Fried Hand Pulled Noodles. Our appetizer, the Cucumber Salad, came out very fast. It was delicious, the cucumbers were crunchy and tasted fresh. And the vinegar wasn't too strong, it was just right. And the noodles dishes we had were so good as well. The noodles had great consistency, it was chewy and absorbed the flavors so well. My mom and I really liked the broth. It was not too salty, not too light of a broth but complemented the meat and veggies in the soup. The green veggies in the soup tasted so fresh too. And I loved my Beef Stir Fried Hand Pulled Noodle dish. There was so much flavor: I loved the different textures from the wood ear mushroom to the noodles. The beef in both the soup and the stir fried noodles were pretty good. I have no complaints, I thoroughly loved every single thing I tried here. I was so satisfied with my dish's flavor, that I completely forgot about their sauces halfway through eating haha. Try their homemade chili oil! Service was excellent, they were very helpful, friendly, and patient with us since it was our first time there. I liked all my interactions with every single employee from beginning to end. I wish this restaurant success and more business. We enjoyed our time here and the food was wonderful. I still have to come back to try their Rougamo and Scallion Pancakes. Thank you for having us! read more

Flavorful, Fresh, and Absolutely Delicious! We started off with the pork soup dumplings -- bursting with flavor and paired with a homemade dumpling sauce so good I could drink it! The scallion pancakes were crispy perfection. The beef noodle soup was clean, comforting, and full of depth -- the kind of broth that could heal anything that ails you. The beef rougamo was an unexpected favorite -- spiced beef and scallions tucked inside a crispy yet fluffy bun. So unique and so good! Service was friendly and warm, and the whole experience was fantastic. I'm so happy this place opened -- we'll definitely be eating here often! read more

This place is definitely an experience for everyone at least once! The roast pork with medium size noodles was absolutely scrumpdillyicious!! Now for need to know- go early or late or expect a wait bc it's very small and everyone says that, but what other reviewers maybe didn't say is that the wait is outdoors on strip-mall sidewalk! On a 90+ degree day, and accompanied by a 94 year old mom with cane, that matters!! No seats available except at restaurant next door, McCallister's Deli. Once inside, tight seating and a bit loud, but happy eaters and entertaining to see them making noodles! If you have your back to them as I did, be aware that the loud thumping is the turning and stretching of the dough. Not to be negative, because I did thoroughly enjoy it. My companions did not, because the duck she ordered is not boneless and many little bones and my friend had thicker noodles with chicken and was just a lot of noodles and oil. Truly, the roast pork was the best choice and I do want to go back for dumplings! I think and hope this place lasts long past its first few years and my only suggestion is to add a few chairs outside for weary customers waiting for a really great reward of yummy authentic Chinese comfort food!! read more

Handmade noodles before your eyes Chattanooga only has a population of around 192,000. Yet, they are lucky enough to have a hand-pulled noodle shop. When places like Tampa Bay with population 4.1 million don't have a single shop. Interesting, right? Of course, many shops claim to have handmade noodles, but don't have a viewing window like this. This location is extremely convenient when heading north on i-75 because it is right off the interstate at exit 5. Stand out dishes here are S-Tier : 1 Knife sliced noodles - Dry beef cumin or Da Pan Ji 大盘鸡 2 Hand-pulled noodles - Duck noodle soup 3 Shengjianbao - A little oily, but still delicious and not overseasoned like what we have in Metro Atlanta. Mid- Tier : 4 Lamb roujiamou - Mostly because they use ground lamb instead of sliced, and flavor is lacking. Needs more cumin, garlic, cilantro. Also, a little freezer taste. 5 Xiaolongbao - Classic pork. Happy to see a diverse and happy crowd here, even though the prices are standard. read more

I really feel uncomfortable giving a five out of the box. The food though was so incredibly good....... Here's what we've got. This is a little spot over in the morass that is Hamilton Place. Inside, very typical small, clean, optimal use of the space, the kitchen area, now that's a bit different, if you go and watch the team work on all the noodle options they make available to their customer. The staff, quick to be there, friendly, helpful, a key component because this is not your typical Chinese restaurant. My dish, the chicken stir-fry with the hand-sliced noodles. It was so tasty, the vegetables, all fresh, crispy, none of that overcooking you too often get with your veggies. You have all kinds of options on your noodles, the cut, the thickness, what a great touch! This was delicious, a real surprise, and I will be back, even though I hate Hamilton Place. This was the best Chinese food I've found in town. read more

Service is well rounded with plenty recommendations and everyone helping out. Plenty of seating but fills up quick. Both times I have visited I was ready for the next visit. Soup dumpings are a must especially when they are this good. One thing about the fried tofu it came out fridge cold I was under the impression it would come out hot but it was meant to be like that, I would not order again based off flavor alone. My favorite is the beef rougamo highly recommend alongside their cucumber salad and house made chili oil all together ! The spring rolls are crispy on the outside and filled with flavor on the inside. Their pork stir fried noodles were a little chewy and lacking veggies so I took it home and added broccoli and carrots and it was the bees knees. Highly recommend this spot. Plenty of parking is a bonus read more

Came on a Sunday evening around 7 and had about a 20 minute wait. Servers were so kind and informative. We were excited to try a variety of things, but limited it to 4 dishes doe just the two of us. Food came out quickly and great quantity for the price! Pork soup dumplings: excellent! You can customize the sauce and oil you dip these in and the texture was great and pork was flavorful. Lamb rougamo: not my favorite but my boyfriend loved! Lamb was great, but bread was a bit doughy and dry for me. Spicy chicken stir fry with thick noodle: amazing noodles! Definitely spicy (I'd order the non-spicy version next time) but plenty of vegetables and chicken as well. Scallion pancake beef roll: very unique. All ingredients were fresh and tasty but the combination of them together wasn't my favorite. Huge portion sizes too. read more

Stopped in Chattanooga for a day and found this place through TT. Came here around 1130 on Sunday, and we were lucky enough to beat the crowd. By noon the place was packed. They just opened and only have a few servers on the ground so you need to be patient. They are very attentive and while we did not need help with the menu, we overheard the waitress explaining the menu items in detail to another table. Really loved how she took the time to answer their questions and give recommendations even though they were so busy. They didn't have the garlic green beans so we got the cucumber salad, stir fried tomato and eggs, lamb rougaro, and beef scallion pancake roll. The cucumber salad has delicate flavor full of sesame and garlic. It's nice and refreshing and great palate cleanser for the rest of the meal. Paired with their chili oil which is delightfully toasty (but not very spicy), it's very good. The tomato and eggs are really good. It seems like such a simple dish but the eggs are fried perfectly and the tomatoes melt down into a wonderful umami stew. Great over rice. The lamb burger was only okay but i topped it with the tomatoes from the egg dish and it really popped it off. The beef scallion rolls were good as well. A little too much hoisin sauce for me but with the chili oil it was delicious. Hoping they bottle up the chili oil for sale because I still can't stop thinking about it. read more

We visited today on a Friday about 11:45 AM. There was a line but only one couple ahead of us and then 2 behind us. We only waited about 10 to 15 minutes before getting a table. About 1230 the line was out the door, but only about 6 -8 people waiting.. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered the beef stir fry regular and with the fettuccine style noodles., the soup dumplings, and what they call a Chinese hamburger ( we got the pork one) . Stir fry was very good once we added some of the chili crisp oil to it, and the soup dumplings were delicious. I was really wanting to try that burger and was disappointed as it had very Little flavor. We did add some of the chili crisp oil to the "burger" but I still didn't care for it. However, my daughter said it was good with the chili crisp.. I would order the stir fry and soup dumplings again, but not the "burger" read more
