Kung Fu Noodle North America University of Kentucky

This is one of only two authentic Chinese restaurants I would approve of in Lexington! My husband and I have been there at least 6 times trying different dishes and every time we have been here, the food brought us back to China! The flavor of the noodles and snacks is just like what we had in China! The spicy sauce they serve has a very toasty sesame smell but it doesn’t taste too spicy but has rich flavors. Please go try this restaurant! It’s the best!

This restaurant perfectly captures the essence of the best spots I’ve encountered in LA or the San Gabriel Valley in California. The food is outstanding, showcasing bold and unrefined flavors that prioritize authenticity rather than conforming to local tastes. The service is exemplary; even during a soft opening, the staff is accommodating and genuinely pleasant. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, creating a truly enjoyable experience. I knew immediately that this place was going to be delicious when I saw them making dumplings right in front of me. Only thing missing is a child doing his homework in the corner of the restaurant.

We accidentally showed up for the Kung Fu Noodle soft opening today. I had heard there was a new hand-pulled noodle place in town, so that's why we were there, but I didn't realize they were THAT new! So I adjusted my expectations accordingly (I expect slow service and not-their-best at any soft opening) and we sat down to peruse the menu. There was absolutely no need to adjust my expectations. The service was attentive, helpful and fast. Even better - the food was outstanding! Our daughter got one of the more simple noodle soup selections, while my sweetie and I split dan dan hand pulled noodles, a "Chinese hamburger" (roasted pork and jalapeños stuffed in a flat-ish bread) and "spicy potato chips." The texture of the noodles was perfect, but the Chinese hamburger was my favorite - not as greasy as it would have been from a street vendor in Xi'an, but just as tasty! With their location so convenient to campus, I'm sure I'll be sharing a lot of these little sandwiches with my sweetie as we work our way through their entire menu!

This is a great place to dine-in or order takeout! I love their lanzhou noodles, dumplings, and Chinese-style hamburger, and skewers. The boba tea here is also very unique and well-crafted!

Wonton soup is my favorite. Very flavorful and filling. I enjoy the vinegar and mushrooms added. Too busy on the weekends though.

Really liked this place the first time coming! The beef soup was exceptional and the Dan Dan noodle was super authentic and delicious 5/5 stars! Second time around not as much. My partner got the same beef soup, and it was phenomenal again. But I wanted to try the wonton soup. While my partner’s meal came in less than 5 minutes after ordering, mine took over 25 minutes, enough for the waitress to give me a free donut because of the long wait. Finally it comes out, and it was not at all what I was expecting. First the description had all these elements in them, yet what came out was basically only dark soup and wonton skins. The soup ended up being very very vinegary and barely any wonton. I counted maybe 3 miniature wontons. The wait was not a big deal, but I could only get a couple bites before the salty/vinegar flavor became too much. Being of Chinese-descent, I’ve never had wontons soup be vinegary, let alone a black/darker color. Checked online if maybe there’s another region in China that might make it that way…. Nope. So I don’t know what was up with that recipe. Moral of this review, I am definitely coming back for the exceptional hand pulled noodles but would never order the wonton soup again

You can taste the difference in the flavor and texture of a hand pulled noodle. They had just enough of a bite and the flavor was amazing.
