    Hair!!!

    We used to really enjoy eating at this restaurant and have been loyal customers for a long time, but unfortunately after our last experience, we will not be returning. The visit started off poorly due to very slow customer service. We repeatedly had to get up and go to the counter ourselves just to ask for water because no one ever came to our table. We also had to return to the counter again after realizing they forgot part of my daughter's order, instead of the staff checking on us or correcting the mistake promptly. The worst part of the experience was finding a hair in our food. We calmly brought it to the owner's attention, expecting the situation to be handled professionally. Instead, the owner took the food to the back, removed the hair, and then came back accusing us of lying about it. Rather than apologizing or trying to make things right, we were treated disrespectfully and made to feel uncomfortable. It's disappointing because we genuinely liked this place and wanted to continue supporting it, but the way the situation was handled was unacceptable. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and sadly this experience showed a complete lack of professionalism and care for customers.

    Chicken Phad Thai
    Kevin M.

    The food was absolutely amazing. We were greeted by a wonderful host who made us feel like we were special. The restaurant was quaint and appropriately themed for the types of food that they served. We were presented with a varied menu that offered some wonderful delights that were both Vietnamese. We asked for a few suggestions from the server and she helped us to decide. The food came out. It was piping hot and freshly made, and we enjoyed every bit of it. If you were looking for some authentic food, I would recommend stopping by and bringing your friends.

    Pad Thai
    Altovise L.

    I ordered takeout for lunch. They have 4 degrees of spice heat. I tried pad thai with chicken at spice level 2. It was a good combination of heat and sweet! I also had the fried tofu and it tasted great! This is a small restaurant with four tables. So I imagine doing a lot of takeout instead of dining in.

    Chicken Red Curry
    Nancy G.

    I went during lunch with a colleague. We weee promptly seated without any wait time. There was one other booth taken and while there 2 more tables were seated. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. The food was fine. Nothing stellar or something memorable. I had the beef red curry while my colleague had chicken red curry. On the advice of the waitress we both asked for level 1. It's a good spicy but I would have preferred a little more. So maybe a 1.5 as 2 is really a level 3 (her worlds).

    Cheese Roll
    Kailani T.

    Okay this place was fantastic right when we walked in we were greeted this place is a hidden gem! When you walk in you seat yourself and you'll be greeted with a smile our server was fantastic. The restaurant is super clean and excellent customer service! The ambiance was nice and peaceful Drink: Green Thai Ice Tea is so rich in flavor 10 out of 10 For appetizers: Cheese rolls were fired up just right extra crispy you get a nice crunch 8 out of 10 Fresh rolls were really fresh reminded me of a upgraded spring roll so delicious 10 out of 10 Entrees: Shrimp Red curry (Thai hot) all I can say is wow this curry blew me away with flavor 10 out of 10 Shrimp pho was super flavorful the broth had a remarkable flavor 10 out of 10 This restaurant is perfect come check out this hidden gem on your next visit to San Antonio 10 out of 10

    To go!

    Small spot in a diverse little shopping center right outside of 410 off Blanco. Came here off of Yelp reviews & it's not too far from my house either. The parking lot was full! Maybe from the Irish pub next door? I had to double park while I got off for pickup. There was one table of 3 inside. My order was ready. Asked if my soy sauce was in the bag? (I had added a note on my pickup order to please add soy sauce.) Lady at counter said yes. Another came up and said no and then said she was getting me a drink for place a to go order over $25. Gave me Thai iced tea. It was good. Ordered a pad Thai at a spice level 3 and it was HOT! Noodle unfortunately were too soggy. I wanted to like it, but over cooked noodles never make for a good dish. Also got cheese rolls and egg rolls. I didn't know what to expect from either. Cheese rolls said crab meat in description but I saw no trace of that. It was served with what they call "upper sauce". Looked and tasted like Mayo with hot sauce? I don't think it quite went with cheese rolls. Egg roll was thin wit a little filling inside. Seemed like chicken, but I selected pork, so, likely that? Came with a vinegar and something sauce..? Idk what it was. Ha! Everything was just ok. I might give it another shot another time. They are open until after 9pm, which most places aren't.

    Thai Tea here is super yummy!!! 10/10 better than most boba shops I've been to. Also the customer service was great
    Quiana K.

    Thai Tea 10/10 better than most boba shops I've been to. Also the peanut sauce with the springs rolls is super yummy. The customer service was great too! Not overcrowded in the shop to so it was nice dining here.

    Lunch special green curry with chicken and order of fresh rolls with peanut sauce.

    Really like this place. Had the lunch special green curry with chicken and the fresh rolls. Fast and helpful service.

    Thai Coffee

    Good. Clean. It took longer than I had hoped to get my food. Got the garlic beef and thai coffee.

The food portions are huge! The amount of meat they put in their dumplings and pancake is 4 or 5 times what you can get anywhere else and their prices can't be beat. My wife is from southern China and the restaurant owners are from northern China so they were speaking mandarin about the food. The noodles, dumpling wrappers, everything is homemade and authentic. This place is a very rare find in the San Antonio area and I highly recommend it! We ordered the pan fried pork dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, pig ear and beef pancakes. My favorite was the pan fried pork and shrimp dumplings but all of it was outstanding. I'm still amazed at the food quality and portion sizes to the price. This is a huge value. No one can beat it! We rarely eat out anymore because the quality is down, the service usually sucks and the prices are way up. Not this place. We will definitely be coming back!

Lol We shared some boiled pork dumplings...for the same price it's cheaper to get the boiled, rather than the fried for less amount. Slightly underwhelming, I wish y'all had some chili paste or sambal , instead of the oily chili oil. The spicy lamb noodle soup was amazing. Yum yum. A large bowl of spicy broth with plenty of small cooked lamb chunks and fresh egg noodles, bok choy, cilantro.... Soooo good and heartwarming for the soul. Come early as lunch crowd will get busy... No military discount offered.

The staff is super friendly and courteous :) ! We usually order the beef vermicelli soup, and a variety of dumplings :D !

I eat all kinds of meat. So I always order the pork and chive dumplings :D ! Whether you come in on a weekday or weekend, it always helps to come early if you can! If we want to go there for lunch, we try to get there as close to 11 am as possible when they first open. As it gets closer to 12 noon, it starts to get really busy, and it's harder and trickier for the staff to seat you. There is both booth and table seating. It's a great restaurant to catch up with friends, family or even colleagues over a good meal :) ! The parking lot out in front is a pretty decent size. But it can fill up pretty quickly when it gets busy! We also love ordering frozen dumplings to go :D ! For sure, we will definitely come back :D ! Kung Fu Noodle never disappoints :) !

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

I ordered the Hakata Ramen and a Dr Pepper (after my friend and I had coffee at Indy next door). The six minute egg is probably my favorite part. No wait, it's the broth. Or is it the noodles? Ugh, it's all great. The egg was delicious. Jammy yolk. The noodles were springy and chewy. The broth was rich and unctuous. The pork was soft and flavorful. Even when I took the leftovers home, it was still fantastic. The steam facial I received provided much relief from my mountain cedar allergies. There will be a huge ramen-bowl shaped hole in my heart and San Antonio's heart once Noodle Tree closes. They have the best ramen in the city and ramen shops have some incredibly large shoes to fill. Best of luck to you, Chef Mike. Thank you for all the magic you created in your kitchen.
