    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
    Hannah N.

    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.

    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

    Chef Lin's To Go - S+S chicken  Plain fried rice Spring roll

    Chef Lin's To Go

    3.7(74 reviews)

    A little out of the way, but surprisingly good. I have ordered Chinese food from several places…read moreacross town and asking for 'spicy' has generally been a let-down. Not so for Chef Lin. The hot & sour soup was more sour than hot, but still good. I've only ordered from here once, but look forward to sampling different dishes from the menu.

    I know this is probably the worst photo I've posted on here but this meal just simply isn't…read more"pretty", especially after I already portioned it out into my squash colored bowl. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and plain fried rice and a couple spring rolls. This is probably one of the most "basic" meals someone could possibly order but it was what I was craving. I don't eat very much in one sitting and this was ABSOLUTELY PLENTY of food. Super portion size. Those spring rolls... are **SOOOO** good. I'm a sucker for spring rolls anyway but these will easily be a shoe-in for my next order. (Likely that'll be the WHOLE order since this entree took me 3 meals to eat ) Now... the way they have their business set up right now is... like a food truck except it's in a strip mall. Don't expect to go inside. They've got a little table outside a makeshift window they've situated in the doorway where you grab some of the to-go items yourself. We had to call them to tell them we were there to pick up our order after standing at the door like some kind of hungry animal for 5 minutes. Just chilling. On the sidewalk. Like it was the depot destrict at 2am. IYKYK It still doesn't take away from the food - we're all just going through some really weird supply chain inflation post covid BS and people are trying to stay afloat. I get that. I hope whatever they choose to do, it helps them keep going. Because having those spring rolls right up the road is a BONUS for me. And obviously I want to see people thrive; I don't want to lose one more mom and pop because of all this unnecessary madness. I shouldn't type these reviews when the places are closed; now I'm craving the spring rolls.
