Kung Fu Noodle

Nice, clean, and new-looking restaurant, with excellent food. We came in on a Friday around 5 PM and they already had two huge parties make reservations ahead of time. By the time we were seated and had ordered, about five more parties of 2-4 people came in and they ran out of space, so a head's up to either reserve a table ahead of time or get there early!! The staff were doing everything they could to get everyone seated and customers were promising to eat fast so that the reservations could still be seated on time. Everything we ordered was great, and my parents and I already have plans to come back again.

My son recommended this place--from a recommendation that he got from friends... who themselves, had Kung Fu Noodle strongly recommended to them... and on and on so it went. Apparently, we were just part of an extended chain of people who have really enjoyed the food here. The chain has not been broken, as we have recommended the establishment to others; who have reported back that they too loved the place. This evidence seems to indicated that Kung Fu Noodle has really good word of mouth energy. Additionally, An almost full dinning room, and the steady flow of patrons who came through for pick ups offered more evidence to this claim. We have now dined here for a total of 3 times, and with every visit, we chose to be, "gastronomically adventurous". Meaning we intentionally did not choose standard options that us 'Mericans typically pick when, "eating Chinese." Selections were made from the menu that probably historically, (for us) would have been deemed a bit too exotic, and therefore, skipped over. *We also got a little help from the waitstaff by asking for suggestions. Admittedly, this asking for suggestions strategy, can put a server in a tough position, as they have no idea of what a new customer might like. Nor do they have any inklings about our dietary restrictions (luckily we have none and can stomach anything!). Well, except for chicken feet. I know, I know...its a delicacy in China, but trying them once, years ago, was good enough for this lifetime.) So as I said, we have been here 3 times, and with each visit we tried something unique, attempting to boldly go where none of our tastebuds had ever gone before. Our first exotic choice was the Sweet and Sour Chicken with white rice. (I'm Kidding!)I won't name all of the dishes that we enjoyed, but know that everything that we rolled the dice with would fall into the category of , "very-very good." This is kind rare ... as typically, if you are lucky, one or two items chosen at any restaurant will stand out. With all sincerity, every dish that we have tried here so far has been eye-brow rousingly good. They are batting 1000. One the dishes that, as my dining partners ordered, I had silently predicted was going to have to be politely forced down (like those chicken legs of yesteryear) was the Sizzling Eggplant Tofu. I'm not much of a Tofu or Eggplant lover, but to my surprise the concoction was flavorfully amazing and had a really good mouth texture to boot. Truth be told, when it first arrived, I took a cautionary portion. You know, just enough to appear polite. As soon as I clumsily raised the chopsticks to my mouth, laden with a portion of both tofu and eggplant, it transcended me to a culinary Tian (Chinese for Heaven). At this point in the meal, I noticed that my fellow diners were dolling out large portions of this aromatic dish onto their plates. Thinking quickly, I sprung from my chair by performing a back flip into a classic martial arts defensive stance (think: Bruce Lee in his yellow jump suit). I pulled the green sword of destiny from its scabbard and the battle that ensued involved elegant aerial leaps and dodges. Tea cups, water glasses, and utensils scattered as we parkour-ed from table top to table top trying to gain possession of the Tofu and Eggplant dish. That never happened. Luckily the portions served here are generous, and there was enough for me to indulge in a little more. Dishes that were also amazing included: the grilled Cauliflower and PorK and the Garlic Green Vegetables. We also ordered a noodle dish ( I can't recall which one, but it was super satisfying.) On a lunch date with my wife, she ordered a beef noodle soup (it was served in a very large bowl) and it hit the spot as we were there on one of Tucson's first semi-chilly days. On that chill day, I picked the Vegetable Lo Mein. I was willing to share it with my wife, as she had shared her soup, but we both kept a hand on our sword--just in case the other went for more than their fair share. (not really, but that visual amused me). I will finish by quickly sharing that our server was wonderful. As fate would have it, we happened to have the same person on each visit. She was delightful. I would describe her as knowledgable, caring, willing to risk making suggestions for us to try, and I appreciated that she checked on us often. We felt very appreciated and welcomed. I will also share that the ambiance is not super-fancy, but has warm, comfortable, and inviting vibe. I am grateful for whatever ancient Chinese secrets are being employed here and can whole-heartedly share that Kung Fu Noodle deservedly earns a 5 star rating from me.

Because of the restaurant's name, we came merely hoping for something good done with noodles. SURPRISE!!! I hade one of the most delightful tastes ever to enter my mouth in their Cumin Lamb on rice. The tangy sauce turned what would have been very good into absolutely great!Wife Ann had Eggplant with potatoes and peppers+ on rice: again, the sauce made it another "great". Food, ambiance and friendly servers have now made this our favorite Asian restaurant in Tucson.

Wonderful dinner time even though I only had a quick bite... but it's one of the best tasty black pepper beef udon I've .... Kung Fu was given out a good quality of beef tender meat, onions n green onions with udon noodles!!! So tasty n delicious!!! Had a coke cola soda with stir fried udon that were the best matched!!! Services were so quick n efficient!! Greeting with a nice attitude even though in s busy weekend ... it's busy at weekend night, I was recommended to come in during earlier hours that would be not too busy!!! One of the best Chinese restaurant in Tucson AZ!!!

Better service this time around, possibly just because it's a different server. Chicken Lo mein is good portion size, enough to share or a second meal.

First time at kung fu noodle and we look forward to returning! Great friendly service and clean restaurant. Now to the food...the orange chicken was the best I've had in a long time. Light and crispy with a delicious sauce. Not tough and chewy or mushy which seems to be common most places. We also ordered the green beans and chicken lo mein which was also prepared very well with fresh ingredients. Yum! Looking forward to returning and bringing the rest of the family. They're going to love this place and you will too!

Was craving some Chinese takeout, so my roommate and I decided to order from Kung Fu Noodle. I had enjoyed takeout from Kung Fu once before; something I like is they have options for more adventurous Chinese dishes (pig stomach with hot sauce, green onion pancakes, spicy frog legs), or you can order from their "American Chinese Food" section if your craving dishes more like orange chicken or house moo shu. We were blown away by the delicious Lo Mein we ordered, although the orange chicken wasn't quite as flavorful as we had hoped. Overall, a delicious choice for takeout, and would recommend!

Always a great meal here. Fourth visit and it certainly won't be our last. Service is friendly and cheerful (so rare for a Chinese restaurant ) and the food is always excellent. Ambience is clean and modern.

Went here Friday night date night and had great food and service. The interior is a small local feel with table seating. You're seated by a staff who also functions as your server. My husband ordered the sweet and sour pork & beef lo mein (not pictured) and was happy with both. I wanted to try something new and tried the want lo ji canned drink. It was like a sweetened tea and was pleasant. I also ordered the picked whole fish and was happy with it! The flavor was great, as were the crunchy vegetables that accompanied it. I really liked putting the rice in it and eating that with the dish too. The dish is so large and i also appreciated the sheet pan they provided to take it home nicely. The server helped to box up food and was attentive and helpful while doing so. She also answered all questions I had on the menu which was also helpful. I would def return here.

WOW,I am so glad my friend took me here today for lunch. I think I was here a few years ago and I don't know why I've never gone back. Fantastic people to work here. Let's talk about the food so tasty so fresh. We ordered pork dumplings, hot and sour soup, pork lo mein and kung pao chicken. All were fantastic and the price were so reasonable. I need to bring my Wife back here ASAP.
