Kung Fu Noodle — Restaurant in San Antonio

Still love them, but since the move things are a bit different. Not worse in any way, but different.

First, they no longer have several of the dishes they had before the move. All the American-Chinese dishes are gone. No problem to me -- I come for the noodles. But if you were hooked on one of these plates, be ready to try something different. My husband loved their Kung Pao Chicken. So when we came in for the first time and it was gone, it was a bit of a surprise. Thankfully, he loves mapo tofu now, so that works out.

I think the glass noodles are gone, too. I never ordered those, but would have at some point if we got to go more often. I love glass noodles. But I don't love them more than the hand-pulled ones, so that never happened.

The portion sizes are definitely smaller. We used to order a bowl of lamb noodles, Kung Pao Chicken, and dumplings. This order would equal two full meals and then I could make a third with leftover soup and dumplings. We usually have some dumplings left, but not so much with the soup. I was almost never able to finish the soup before. Now it's pretty much a given I will. The price has stayed the same, but smaller soup bowls. I'm not upset at that. Costs go up, so something has to change for them to make enough money. I understand. But I miss my leftovers! I'd happily pay a dollar or two more for a slightly larger portion so I could have my leftovers!

The new bowls and spoons are very nice, though. And you get nice chopsticks, too. No disposable wooden ones. That's an upgrade, for sure.

The spice level is not consistent now. When we first went after the move, we were warned it was spicier than it was before. I used to order a 3 most times, so I went with 2. And that felt like it was about a 2.5 on the previous scale. I've stuck with 2 since then. But this last visit, a level 2 was more like .5. There was almost no heat to it. So now I don't know what to order next time -- stay at 2 or bump back up to 3? I'm just not sure.

But overall, it's still amazing. I can't ever wait to return. I leave, and want to go back that same day. I wish they were closer. But it's special for us this way. We love them so much. Hope to be back...

Overall service: Everyone was extremly kind and polite. Food was amazing and will be returning :) Wait time/seating: When me and my husband went we went during lunch time cause they were busy with good business but were still extremly attentive. We waited about maybe 5 minutes for a table and we got service right away. They have plenty of seating but no more than for 4 people for some tables. It's a small establishment so please be mindful of them. What was ordered: For myself I got the Pork Belly Noodle soup with thin noodle. My husband got Lamb Noodle soup with thin noodle and level 2 spice. We shared an order of Pork and Chive dumplings (10 piece) The food: They are very generous with the portions of noodle, broth, and meats, they even throw in some blanched greens as well. The Pork Belly Noodle Soup comes with an egg as well. We had to take the rest of our meal to go and they provide containers and bags. Spice levels: If you struggle with hearburn like I do, level 1 spice is probably as high to go but if you like a good kick go for level 3, if you want to feel the heat then go for level 5. Drinks: They do not have sweet tea BUT they have unsweetened tea with a lot of sugar packets, be sure to make clear that you want a cup of ice and room temperature unsweet tea if you want to sweeten it yourself. They have canned drinks and you can ask for a cup of ice to go along with it Additional note: Please let them know if you have a peanut allergy, they have signs posted about it everywhere on their TV menus and their physical menus. (Not applicable to me) Price: Everything was extremly reasonable for the portions of the food. Final bill with tip for two of us was around $35

Will definitely be returning during a different hour (I just dont...

This use to me my favorite restaurant to go to; would go once or twice a week. Went to their new location and was very disappointed. Me and my boyfriend ordered the same meal (short rib soup); my boyfriend received his 15 mins before mine came to the table . The noodles lack the flavor the use to have . Egg rolls have no flavor at all do not recommended. Then when the dumplings finally came out, they were cold . The reason of giving them 2 stars and not one is because the short rips were super soft and was the best thing out of the whole dinner. Unfortunately their menu has changed and now looks just like lucky noodles menu. This was very disappointing as kung fu noodle had the best sesame chicken and lo mein. They also no longer have Chinese buns , cabbage buns or hot and sour soup. Services was not the best never got a refill on any of our drinks, waited 20 mins for Togo containers . Was not busy inside at all maybe 4 tables ( including our own ) . The people that were sitting in front of us were never waited on . They had been sitting her patiently for those 20 mins we were waiting for Togo boxes no one seated them just pointed to the table . Then as they waited someone did get seated and drink orders were taken for the new table that had just been sat . While the table in front of us was still waiting . Oh and they’re price changed .. so a meal we use to get all the time no changes that we would pay at most 35 dollars for we left paying 55 dollars for food we didn’t even end up enjoying . Very sad on what this restaurant has came to ): . Do not recommend , it is not...
