Delicious hand-pulled noodles. There are decent vegetarian options. Tried 3 dishes during my visits: the veggie noodle soup, chili oil and diced veggie, and noodles with sesame sauce. I recommend the noodle soup and the chili noodles. Just an FYI, if you're a solo customer like me, you'll be seated at the communal table. During peak meal times, the seating at the communal table will be elbow-to-elbow.

If you’re after no-frills, fast, and authentic Chinese noodles—this is the spot. The portions are absolutely massive and the flavor took me right back to China. It only took about 5 minutes from ordering to having two steaming bowls on our table—super efficient! The noodles were tasty, though a bit too oily for my preference. That said, for under £30 for two giant bowls, it’s excellent value. The space is very tightly packed—expect to share tables and overhear your neighbours. It’s part of the charm, really—a very true-to-China experience. Service was surprisingly great for a fast-paced Chinatown joint. When we dropped a chopstick, a fresh pair was brought over immediately. The staff were also really helpful to tourists struggling with the menu. Not fancy, but definitely hits the spot if you’re craving hearty, authentic noodles.

Kung Fu Noodles serves the best Asian food ever! The flavors are incredible, and their wonton soup is an absolute must-try — so delicious that I’ve become a regular. The portion sizes are awesome too, definitely enough to satisfy a big appetite. The place is usually busy with a queue, so be patient and come hungry. If you love authentic Asian cuisine, this spot is a must-visit!

Located in Chinatown, this restaurant is lives up to its name. The noodles were incredibly good. Food The noodles were simply amazing, perfectly cooked, offering a delightful texture that complements the rich and flavorful broths. Each dish is a blend of spices and fresh ingredients. Overall, it was a good and well worth visit. Service The service is adequate, though not particularly remarkable. The staff is efficient and friendly enough, but there is nothing that sets them apart. Orders are taken and delivered promptly, ensuring a smooth dining experience. Atmosphere The decor is simple and functional, with a casual vibe. It has an open kitchen concept and you can see the noodle being made. Price Fair pricing for the quality and quantity of food you receive. The portions are generous, ensuring you get good value for your money. While it's not the cheapest option in Chinatown, the quality of the dishes justifies the cost, making it a reasonable choice for noodle enthusiasts.

Exciting, flavour-packed lunch with my husband. We arrived 12:05 to the restaurant and it was already PACKED but after 35 mins wait we were able to get in for a lunch. And it was worth the wait. We ordered knifecut noodles with beef rib and wide noodles with chicken, both dishes were delicious and generous.

Visited with group of friends, got a bowl of noodles each. We were all full, great cheap and cheerful meal in Central London! The oil spilled noodles were great! Food came out really quickly, but you do feel rushed as they turn over tables very quickly.

Worth the wait! There was a queue when we got there but it went pretty quick and we were served quickly. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, and flavourful! The noodles were exceptionally good as they had a good bite to it, definitely fixed my noodle craving! It may look like a lot of spice but it's not as spicy as it looks! We got the lemon sugar cane drink which paired well with the meal! Will need to go back to try more!! The sesame wontons were immaculate!

We got the hand pulled noodles with pork mince and chicken peas. Absolutely delicious, the spices are very apparent. Beef brisket and beef shank are also tasty with the special noodles and hand stirred noodles. The toilet was out of order which was disappointing for a restaurant to not have a workable toilet for customers. The service was not exceptional but they were speedy. We didn't have to queue too long to get a table for a Sunday lunch time. I would recommend for the food.

Brilliant food, we had takeaway and the food was done within 5 minutes so extremely fast service. The hand made noodles were delicious and we'd love to go back anytime. Only small grievance is felt it would be better with bit more chicken and veg.
