Lucky Noodle

Lucky Noodle is your quintessential Chinese noodle shop - tasty noodles, delicious dumplings all at a great price, and staff that doesn't check on you too much. Everything you would really need is at your table - napkins, vinegar, and chili oil. The beef brisket noodle soup, beef noodle soup, marinated pork noodle soup, all with flat noodles were amazing. The noodles are so chewy and thick, and the broth is somehow light but packed with flavor. The brisket is my favorite but you can't go wrong with any of the hand pulled noodles. Make sure you don't wear a white shirt when you get the noodles as you will get splashed. The pork and chive dumpling are what you expect from any mom and pop shop in Chinatown - stuffed with pork and chives and pair perfectly with any noodle dish or dipped in chili oil and vinegar and eaten by itself. We love these so much that we even got a box of them frozen so we can have them at home too.Lucky Noodle has become one of our staples in the San Antonio area!

I really enjoyed the garlicky cucumbers as an appetizer. They were cool and refreshing. Their dumplings were yummy and they come with 20 pc in an order which is a good deal. I also got the noodles with marinated pork. I chose medium for the spice level and flat noodle for the noodle type. The pork was sort of dry which is disappointing- I tried the lamb that my friend had and it was juicier & more flavorful. The portions are pretty big so the value is good!

It's in a little strip mall so there's tons of parking. When we first walked in they greeted and sat us immediately since we came to beat the dinner rush that my cousin said usually hits this place according to my cousin. We sat in a booth, ordered, and our food came out sooooo fast! I didn't care to order any appetizers, but I'm so glad that my cousin got the garlicky cucumber. I thought okay, garlic and cucumbers, but it was GOOD and refreshing. You definitely need to get this if it's a hot day or if you're ordering soup because it's so cold and refreshing and tastes so good in that simple soy/sesame oil and fresh garlic sauce! The dumplings came after, and I'm a dumping junky. It came just plopped on to a plate but it was good. You could tell the skins were home made and were just the right amount of thickness. I wish there was more flavor to the filling so that got 3/5 stars for me. The thing that saved it was dipping it in vinegar, soy sauce, mixed with some of the chili oil crunch. The noodles. Okay, so they're known for their hand pulled noodles and it didn't disappoint. I got the thin noodles and it was just the right amount of thickness to soak up some of the soup but hold a nice al dente bite to it at the same time. The beef was so tender and so good, and an unassuming amount of it cause it was sitting on top and the bottom of the bowl. It could have had more vegetables if you ask me, but you come for the noodles. The soup was a 3.5/5 star. You could tell it had a good long simmered base but it was a little bland so I had to add some soy sauce to it. Everyone loved the food, but I come from a ramen culture where the soup has more umami to it so maybe that's why I had higher expectations. All in all a great experience with the service and food here. Try it out for sure if you've never had hand pulled noodles, because it makes a huge difference!

I've been coming to Lucky Noodle for years and I'm happy that they still have the consistent, quality, budget-friendly menu. I stopped by on a weekday night and ordered the beef with hand pulled noodle. It includes some bok choy in a savory soup that can be made to the spiciness of your choosing. The service is friendly and the food comes out quickly if you order the noodles. This is my go-to place for quick eats and comfort food. They also have a variety of other dishes like stir-fried foods, cold noodles, and other interesting items. Seats includes booths and tables. It's not a large restaurant and probably fits about 15 groups of 4.

The hand pulled pork soup is so savory. The bok choy adds that earthy taste that compliments the soup nicely. I added the marinated egg for extra saltiness and protein. It's my favorite. The picked cabbage, carrots, and yellow peppers offer a nice sour taste to the meal.My next visit will be to try some of the fried rice. It looked so tasty.

This nice hole in the wall makes the best noodle soups! My wife and I especially like the Braised Beef noodle soup with the handmade thin noodles. Amazing!!

I love the inside! It's very clean and the art on the back wall is very nice! The service was great! Fast and very nice!The food was great for the price! What a deal! Cheap and lots of food! I do think it could have tasted better. Would love to see some more spices but that is my only complain and it really is just a nitpick! Amazing!

Their hand-pulled noodles are delicious. I also highly recommend all of their dumplings. The portions are also enormous. The service is great. The server checks on your table often. When you're done you pay at the register. The ambience is casual. I usually see families when I stop by. It's a great place to visit for some authentic noodles.

So disappointed. The food is very bland. . I ordered the stir fry and asked if it had veggies. I was told there would be veggies. All I got were a couple of pieces of bok choy and tiny previously frozen shrimp with noodles. I had to add my own flavoring at home.

Since returning in less than 3 months I have to say this was the worst tasting soup I've had EVER. Once sat down waited 45 mins to get a darn drink, almost 1 for warm food, no TVs on, no music, messy tables, broth had no taste,No flavor. Will definitely not come back.
