Kungfu Noodles — Restaurant in Tempe

If you’re the kind of person who dreams about dumplings and wakes up craving wok-seared magic, run—don’t walk—to KingFu Noodles. Tucked away like a best-kept secret, this spot might be new on the block, but it delivers the kind of flavor that feels like it’s been perfected over generations.

Let’s talk about the soup dumplings: little pockets of steamy, savory perfection that burst with rich broth and tender meat. They arrive piping hot, and with each bite, you’re transported straight to the bustling night markets of Shanghai. The spicy wontons? Silky, delicate wrappers hugging a spicy-slicked filling that warms you in the best way possible—like a flavorful punch that keeps you coming back for more.

But it doesn’t stop there. The black pepper beef is where KingFu flexes its culinary muscles. Thin-sliced beef cooked to tender perfection, tossed in a peppery glaze that hits all the right notes—bold, smoky, just the right amount of heat. Paired with their golden, fragrant fried rice (which could be a meal on its own), you’ve got a combo that’s straight-up addictive.

And let’s not forget the orange chicken—a crispy, sticky, citrusy masterpiece. Not the cloying kind you get at takeout chains. No, this one is bright, balanced, and surprisingly elegant.

KingFu Noodles isn’t just another Chinese restaurant—it’s a flavor bomb waiting to be discovered. The attention to detail, the freshness of ingredients, and the punchy, crave-worthy dishes make it an absolute must-try. Word hasn’t fully gotten out yet, but trust me: it will. Do yourself a favor and get in before the line stretches out the door.

Support local. Eat delicious. KingFu is where your new food...

Kung Fu Ramen is a wonderful asian eatery that features handspun noodles with many traditional Chinese food items. The diner and takeout spot, though misnamed, is tasty, spacious, reasonably-priced, open late, and well staffed.

First, let's be clear, this is not a ramen house. In fact, no ramen is made or served here. Despite the misnomer, this is a chinese restaurant. The distinctive is that it features dishes with all handmade noodles and dough. From excellent pork soup buns to stir fry to chow mein to traditional dishes, all the noodles and dough made locally features highly in their dishes. And it tastes very good as a result. The dishes are typically grouped items you would expect to find in an authentic chinese restaurant. Especially nice is the extensive list of soups, which again feature excellent noodles.

The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are substantial. You will not feel hungry leaving this place.

The dining area is spacious and open. The staff is kind, fast, and efficient. I arrived late in the evening and was still treated and served well, though it was at the end of the evening. The staff was gracious and explained their dishes, and served the food hot (I mean hot!) and fresh to the table.

If you like excellent noodles, this diner will come as a nice location to try some dumplings, buns, soups, and noodle dishes from a collection of well-known Chinese food favorites.

Inedible twice and a complete waste of money. Our first order we ordered orange and Gen Tso's chicken for delivery. Both dishes were drowning in sauce that tasted like straight corn syrup, the noodles were stuck together as a large patty under the chicken on one dish, and on the other, the rice was overcooked to mush. On both dishes, breading on the chicken was wet and did not stick to the meat (which in turn, was dry and gross). So that was $50 out the window. Second order, I forgot the name of the place and stopped by for takeout (my bad, but I paid for this mistake). I ordered 2 signature noodle soups, one chicken and one vegetable. The broth was confusing and gross - certainly NOT ramen. Also, incredibly, the chicken was boiled to hell and back. The chicken pieces looked like unseasoned pork rinds. I thought I had tasted all possible textures of chicken but I was wrong; this place showed me there are apparently chicken textures more appalling than my brain can conjure up. As my spouse put it, have they ever eaten food in their lives?? Another $30 wasted on inedible slop, bringing the grand total to at least $80. I was an idiot. Please learn...
