ShiFu Noodle

We were in the southside of town earlier this past Saturday. We headed to @shifunoodle for lunch. Hubby had heard about this restaurant through Texas Eats. It's located between a Boba Tea place and SAPD office.Though they're known for their noodle dishes, they have other Chinese dishes. 'We shared the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup with the marinated egg, Mapo Tofu, Sweet and Sour Fish, and Garlic Wings. The noodle and soup was good but the beef was a little dry. Dad loved the Mapo Tofu and the Sweet and Sour Fish. I loved the fish too. We both like anything with lots of sauces. The wings seemed missing the brine and was on the dry side too. The overall experience is good and I would recommend stopping by.

Menus are the best I've ever seen, not only with photos but it's written clearly and easy to comprehend and order Many choices per dish but not overwhelmed by fancy descriptive words Booths and chairs and tables. Veggie rice noodle soup was good but needed a little more flavoring in the broth. Fried tofu a little dry but yummyPrices very reasonable around $10 and good portions Service excellent Easy access in strip mall next to SA police station. Free parking HEB plus nearby Would return, only one menu , no matter lunch or dinner They take off 2:30 pm for a break then Back for dinnerBring your own Tupperware for leftover soup, they charge 50cents

ShiFu Noodle is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. It's authentic Szechuan food, so you'll often see Chinese families eating here. I love the Spicy Cuman Beef as well as the Spicy Cuman Chicken. The new Eggplant with Minced Beef dish is amazing (and pretty)! I recommend ordering a few dishes and splitting them around your table. They bring delicious chili oil and soy sauce as well as small plates to help you share. If you order something that's not your thing, I recommend giving them another try because they have a big variety of sweet and savory dishes. If you've got that one friend who just wants to eat basic American-Chinese food, they've got those kind of items on the menu too. But I'd really recommend trying their more authentic dishes because you could order that other stuff anywhere!I've always had good service here. The waitstaff is usually softspoken but attentive. As for ambiance, it's a restaurant in a strip mall, so it's not stunning, but it is clean and well decorated. The music isn't always my favorite. It tends to be dance-party stuff, but it's not too loud. The booths and tables can accommodate big groups well, and I've never run into a wait for seats.The prices are just amazing, given the quality of the food. Everything tastes fresh and is served quickly. You can find plenty of vegetables on the menu, which I like. I used to have to drive out to Szechuan House or Kung Fu Noodle to get great Chinese food, but ShiFu is right up there with those two greats, and it's a very welcome local business in the Mccreless Center!

Very consistent, delicious food and excellent service. The only drawback is they close at eight because if they were open later, we'll be stalking the place. Nice large booths that can see about six people and murals on the wall and chopsticks and cats for sale waving at you.Szechuan Chinese food is very different from regular Chinese. I highly recommend try all the vegetable dishes and the spicy savory fish and shrimp is delicious don't order traditional Chinese get something unique the cucumber was delicious as well. Recommend the green beans at every meal and the eggplant wok braised has a delicious sauce to it

I ordered to go. The delivery was fast, and the food was still hot.However, the food was super bland. I ordered Kung pao chicken that has few peanuts, strange brown gravy on it, overcooked, and under seasoned chicken.The chicken dumplings came wrapped in a paper bag and with no dipping sauce.

I'm so glad we went here today, 4/24/2024. The brisket noodle soup, aka pho, was so delicious. Our waitress was exceptionally attentive. We also ordered the jasmine tea. Prices were fair as well. We hope to go back soon and try the braised eggplant!

The food was good. The service was meh. I asked for a straw several times and then I gave up and grabbed my own. The servers seemed hesitant to provide service. There was hardly any interaction with us. I was surprised and disappointed. The dry fried green beans were good. My kid got the spicy noodle bowl and enjoyed it. The inside of the restaurant was pretty and quiet with the music made the ambiance a nice experience. Not sure if I would go back by myself.

I visited this spot about a month ago and the food was so good. We ordered the spicy wonton soup, Dan Dan noodles and the green beans and all of it was delicious! The server was patient and nice so that was a plus. We went later in the night as well so the place was emptier than usual but it was a good environment overall.

People review without telling about the cleanliness. 5 stars for the cleanliness and neatness. Food not so much 3 stars. Very little taste, maybe no salt and pepper

We had beef noodle soup which was different from Taiwanese beef noodle soup but still had good flavor. Sesame chicken and sweet and sour spareribs were par with other Chinese American places. Service was good.
