    Sweet sesame balls, bao, noodles
    Cherrie B.

    I ordered DoorDash. The bao was ok, ive tried better bao. The noodles were mush. Im not sure if i will order again.

    Beef Noodle Soup in Clear Broth

    The food here was delicious! They have absolutely huge portions. When we walked in they gave us a little dish of peanuts to eat while we waited for our food. My soup came in a very large bowl with a small ladle for a spoon. The broth was very clear and very flavorful. It had a very slight earthy mushroom flavor, and the cilantro on top brightened everything up beautifully. The meat was very tender and sliced very thin. They have a chile oil at the table that was very good. It is spicy, but nothing too crazy, and it has wonderful flavor. Overall it was a great experience!

    Spicy beef soup with handmade noodles.

    Good handmade noodles in a well spiced beef soup, steamed dumplings were very good and fresh. Good flavors in everything, perfect temperature and doneness!! Restaurant was very clean. Service was very good.

    First timer. Cool to see dumpling preparation.

    Food is okay, but not impressive enough for a return visit. The noodles are too thick, too much in one serving. I was disappointed that there was only one pork dish on the menu. The portions are gigantic, but not that flavorable for me. I ended up throwing most of it away when adding hot seasoning didn't make it taste better. Will not return.

    Visiting Lubbock and wanted something authentic and not another chain. Fun Noodles didn't disappoint. They have a limited menu but the soup dumplings and Youpu noodles were great. I can eat spicy both the Youpu was another level of hot! Ordered the red bean boas to-go. Good service.

    Spicy Baby Cucumber and perfect spicy dragon oil

    First time in Lubbock and after driving 5.5 hours from San Antonio-had craving for ramen. Uh, forgot I wanted Ramen as I was had a smaller menu, but so excited for the last minute change. Went with the flow. Spicy cucumber salad, beef roll appetizer, kung pao chicken dumplings and need I forget simple small peanuts? Restaurant was welcoming, friends, family, couples and single guys like me. Haha. Spicy cucumber was my fav and took 3 pics? Why? Typically, "dragon oil" can be too spicy and flavor of food is lost. Not here. Absolute perfection-just the right amount of spicy hotness, oil and natural cucumber flavor. Truth-best I ever had. Entire meal was so flavorful, scrumptious and enjoyed every bite. Typically I'll eat a little, look at my phone for whatever then eat again. Nope. Only picked up phone to take pics. Rest of time-in the focus zone of devouring-slowly every morsel. Spontaneity was perfect...so was quick service, happy cheerful staff, and a great first meal and memory of Lubbock. Definitely coming back again this week-to try ramen-haha. Thank you.

    Nice and clean spot. The spicy is not very spicy, so be prepared to add chili oil...if that's what you want. The flavors were very good though, very smooth and fresh food. Everything was great!

    roasted pork rib noodle soup with pan fried bao in the background

    Fun Noodle Bar is such a pleasant surprise since I find it to be authentic Chinese food. This restaurant is located on 68th and Slide Road, and it's next to Spec's. Parking is easy, and I was able to get a table for myself with no wait time on a weekday evening. The shop is on the smaller side, but it offers quite a bit of seating, and you're able to see fresh noodles prepared in front of you if you sit at the bar. I got the roasted rib pork noodle soup with the pan fried bao, and my food came out quickly. The noodle soup was delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and fell off the bone, and it paired so well with the savory broth and fresh, chewy noodles. The pan fried bao were good as well; I wish the filling was juicier/soupier, but that's the only thing that I would really change about the food. I highly recommend checking out this spot!

    OVERALL Fun Noodle Bar was a good find particularily on a rainy day (10/10/2022) in Lubbock. RATING BREAKDOWN | Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Environment: 4 | Price: 4 | PARKING Fre and ample in a shared plaza lot. LOCATION/AMBIANCE I like the bar area where only a few patrons may sit and watch everything being prepared. THE GRUB + Tonkotsu ramen ($13.99) with chashu - they allowed me to order one bowl for both of my kids (ages 8 and 9) and add extra chashu ($1.75) to their bowl as there are no kid's portions. I wish the chashu was a bit more tender. Regardless, they got the food out as quickly as possible after our long wait. + Their original boba tea ($4.99) was alright. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kids menus or sizes whatsoever. SERVICE Friendly and quick. MY FAVORITE PART... + probably the best (maybe only) ramen-oriented place in the area + separate women's restroom NOT SO FAVORITE PART... - long wait times (write your name on the paper taped to the window of you're dining in) - small restaurant (can only accommodate groups of about 6)

    Tonkotsu was pretty good. It was missing like a wow factor but it was such a nice blend of flavors overall.

    I think I would have put my review at 4.75 stars if I could. 4.75 because even though the food and atmosphere were great I wish the sweet sesame balls were bigger or priced cheaper because it was like a quill egg size for $6 for 5 of them. The tonkotsu ramen was pretty good it was just a nice soft balance of flavors, just didn't have a wow taste to it. Maybe because I normally like my soft boil eggs to be on the runny side. It was pretty boiled to where the juice of the egg didnt have the chance to flow in the broth. Pros: Any of the baos were extremely delicious. I should have take a photo of them but it was all eaten before I thought about it. Its pretty awesome you can see the food being made at the noodle bar area. Overall for it being Lubbock this was a pretty awesome place.

    Stopped in for a late lunch midweek. Seated and served immediately. Loved the steamed pork dumplings. The tonkotsu chasu ramen was tasty but had a strange flavoring to it though. I'll try a fried noodle dish next time.

    pan fried sliced noodles with veggies.

    I like the food here, especially the chili oil beef. I always order two beef. I can see the chefs making noodles, it's a good environment.

    Don't waste your money. They are not authentic and lack flavor in every dish. We got apps and mains and they were all bad.

    Mediocre at best. If you have a craving for Vietnamese try Pho District even though it's hit or miss like every other restaurant in Lubbock

    Yanagi Ramen is a solid addition to the area and a place I'd definitely return to. While it wasn't…read morethe most mind-blowing ramen I've ever had, it was genuinely good--especially for the location--and clearly hits the spot when you're craving something warm and comforting. I really appreciated the variety of vegetarian options, which felt thoughtfully done rather than like an afterthought. My bowl was flavorful and well-balanced, though worth noting: even after asking for heat, it wasn't spicy at all, so spice lovers may want to temper expectations. That said, the experience had a bit of a rough start. We arrived right at the posted opening time (11am) and ended up waiting outside in the freezing cold, unsure if they were actually open. We had to call to confirm, and only then did someone come to unlock the door. Once inside, I asked for hot tea--pretty standard at most Japanese spots--only to be told they were completely out, which was surprising. All things considered, Yanagi Ramen delivers a dependable bowl with good vegetarian choices and a clean, modern space. A few opening-hour kinks and missing basics kept it from being great, but the food itself was enjoyable, and I'd happily come back--just not for spice, and hopefully next time with hot tea ready to go.

    I enjoyed this meal! I got the spicy tonkatsu and tried the curry ramen. Both were pretty…read moreenjoyable. The meat was nice and charred and thick. My only thing is that the soup could have been slightly warmer and with a smidge more broth. I usually don't like a tone of broth but this was a little lacking (see photo). My friend got the seafood ramen and it looked really bad. He said it came cold which was confirmed with another person who tried the soup. The shrimp looked very overcooked and the scallops were tiny. We also tried the calamari and the takoyaki. The takoyai wasn't very good and the calamari also wasn't great but the sauce saved it a little. We also tried the white peach sake which didn't taste like alcohol at all. The hot teas and sodas are refills as well. Service was nice and the interior is very pretty and modern.
