    chicken fried rice
    Heather M.

    this restaurant is totally worth the hype! i searched places to eat on instagram while on vacation in chattanooga and this restaurant looked incredible and had great reviews from local foodies/content creators. i especially wanted to try it out because of the homemade hand pulled noodles, and getting to WATCH them make the noodles through the window. overall great experience and something i don't get back home. it is a must try!! to start the service was impeccable. we didn't have just one server, multiple servers stopped by to attend our table and every single one was friendly and exceeded the customer service standard. it was very busy, a packed house, and they still were amazing and it didn't take long at all to get the food. the space was very inviting and welcoming for sure. the food was incredible. coming from out of state i wanted to try as much as possible. we got the soup dumplings and pan fried potstickers. they were SO FREAKING GOOD. i got the beef noodle soup with regular noodles, and my daughter got the chicken soup with regular noodles. the broth was so flavorful and the noodles were absolute perfection. the herbs in the broth made it even better. my other daughter got the fried rice and it was the best fried rice i've eaten at a restaurant. i've stopped ordering fried rice in restaurants because i can make it better at home, but this just topped everything. my bf got the chicken stir fry with medium wide noodles and it was also the best stir fry dish ive ever had. just looking at it you could see it was full of flavor and spice. i almost wish i ordered the same thing or at least ordered some more to-go because of how good it was. whether you live in the area or are visiting, this is a must try. i would go back in a heartbeat. thank you for the great restaurant experience

    We finally made it! We have been seeing this restaurant on social media for a while now. We had the cucumber salad and soup buns. Both were delicious. The service was excellent, fast and friendly. The interior is okay, nothing special.

    Soup dumpling delicious

    Food was delicious spot on nice and spicy salty vinegary, we over ordered, but it was worth it, service was very friendly and nice. Ambience was nice. You can see the chef making homemade noodles by hand through the window.

    Spicy fried Tofu

    The first part of my order came out quickly and tasted pretty great. My entrée took a good while. I expect the chef needed a while to hand pull my noodles. All in all a good experience, and I'll likely return in the future

    Stir Fry with Fettuccine style hand pulled noodles and beef
    John L.

    So amazing and worth the 1.5 hour drive from Knoxville to try superbly authentic hand-pulled noodles. The beef noodle soup is reminiscent of Vietnamese pho. Broth was very clean and tasty. Not overly fatty. The stir fry had great wok hei and was a great smokey cumin flavor. The staff were great and explained all the options. They guided us on which sauces to use and how to eat everything as intended to maximize flavor. The soup dumplings themselves were worth the drive, let alone everything else! Definitely going to drive down here again. MANY TIMES at that.

    Delicious! It's a small dining room, so plan to wait a bit if it's during peak times. Food is served quick and hot. Staff service is odd as we had four different servers, but it works and you'll never want for anything.

    I was skeptical I would enjoy OX2 Buns & Noodles but my boyfriend saw the viral YouTube review from Brennen Taylor and insisted we go. The restaurant is in a strip-mall and seems to be thriving. People are in and out continuously. Our waiter Jason was the server on the YouTube video which has made him somewhat a celebrity! Catch their IG ox2buns_and_noodles and you'll catch the Jason Show! We picked out a few things that Jason helped recommend (still not sure what I ate) but it was delicious! Prices are reasonable to allow variety. Service was good considering how busy they were and the food was prepared fresh and served hot. You can watch the food preparation via glass partition which was cool. I was very impressed by Ox2 and look forward to a return visit!!

    Menu

    Wow. Just wow . Food was served quickly and perfectly. I loved that they had an electronic menu with photos- my mom wanted to see it because she had no idea what any of it was. Our server was patient and gave great recommendations. This was a stop through visit and we only had to wait about 10 minutes. My understanding is that usually the line is out the door and down the sidewalk. If you're in the area give them a try- or get it to go. I highly recommend the "hamburger" made with lamb and add some of the chili sauce.

    Scallion pancake beef roll
    Chelcea F.

    Ox2 Buns and Noodles in Chattanooga is absolutely worth the hype, but definitely get there right when they open because the line starts forming at the door fast. It's first come, first serve, and for good reason. Inside, it's decorated super cute, and one of the coolest parts is the window where you can watch them making the food fresh. We ordered the beef rougamo, which was kind of like an arepa and packed with flavor with just a little spice, the pork soup dumplings, the scallion pancake beef roll, and the beef stir-fried hand-pulled noodles. Honestly, everything was so good. The scallion pancake beef roll was especially flavorful, and you could really taste the freshness in every dish. Portion sizes were good, prices felt fair, and the service was amazing. They take your order on an iPad and bring everything out as it's ready, which made the whole experience feel easy and efficient. I'd absolutely come back. Between the fresh handmade food, the cute space, and how smoothly everything ran, this spot definitely lives up to the long line

    Spicy chicken stirfry with thick noodle

    Came on a Sunday evening around 7 and had about a 20 minute wait. Servers were so kind and informative. We were excited to try a variety of things, but limited it to 4 dishes doe just the two of us. Food came out quickly and great quantity for the price! Pork soup dumplings: excellent! You can customize the sauce and oil you dip these in and the texture was great and pork was flavorful. Lamb rougamo: not my favorite but my boyfriend loved! Lamb was great, but bread was a bit doughy and dry for me. Spicy chicken stir fry with thick noodle: amazing noodles! Definitely spicy (I'd order the non-spicy version next time) but plenty of vegetables and chicken as well. Scallion pancake beef roll: very unique. All ingredients were fresh and tasty but the combination of them together wasn't my favorite. Huge portion sizes too.

    Chicken stir fry noodle (knife sliced)

    Located in a busy shopping center along Gunbarrel, there is plenty of parking. It's all across a busy traffic lane from the entrance but traffic was quite considerate so crossing was without incident. There are also numerous handicapped spaces near the entrance. There is a ramp for access to the sidewalk close to the entrance. You enter through a set of double doors. The cashier is straight ahead in the corner. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. We were greeted after entering and told there would be a 20 minute wait for dining in. There were at least three tables and one booth which appeared clean and ready for customers, but there were several people waiting outside on the sidewalk. We were going to eat there but decided to place the order as to go. We were provided menus and given several minutes to decide. We then flagged a server to place our order. After placing the order we were then told it would be 20 to 30 minutes to receive our order. Since this was well after the lunch rush we would have preferred having this information up front to make a better informed decision on if we really wanted to wait that long. Still, with all the good reviews we decided this was our chance so we kept the order. Since we didn't have any other plans in that area, we waited in the car since it was a pretty nice day. I went back inside after 20 minutes and was able to flag someone down to check on our order. It was not ready so I waited in the one chair near the door. I did not see a line on the sidewalk this time, but a couple people came in after me and were told it would be 20 minutes for a table. Again, there were several clean tables but they were filled over the next 10 minutes or so. My order was ready in another 15 minutes, so 35 minutes from initially placing the order. It was packaged in sturdy clamshell containers and did not spill during the short ride home. The roast pork fried rice was fine. There was a decent amount of pork included. The flavor was good, although I did not notice anything unique based on their description being "Home made". The dish included peas, small pieces of carrot, and a few pieces of scrambled egg. The overall flavor was fine but nothing stood out. The chicken stir fry noodle (knife sliced) was another decent dish, if not notable. There was a good amount of chicken included and everything was seasoned well and cooked properly. While the meals were decent, there was nothing notable about them.

    Soup dumplings
    Nicole P.

    Please bury me in these soup dumplings. Genuinely the best soup dumplings I've ever had. Truly worth the very long wait time. We waited over an hour and it was sooooo worth it. Also got the noodles and added their homemade chili oil and I couldn't decide which one I liked most. 10/10

    Chicken stir-fried with hand-pulled noodles
    Timothy S.

    I really feel uncomfortable giving a five out of the box. The food though was so incredibly good....... Here's what we've got. This is a little spot over in the morass that is Hamilton Place. Inside, very typical small, clean, optimal use of the space, the kitchen area, now that's a bit different, if you go and watch the team work on all the noodle options they make available to their customer. The staff, quick to be there, friendly, helpful, a key component because this is not your typical Chinese restaurant. My dish, the chicken stir-fry with the hand-sliced noodles. It was so tasty, the vegetables, all fresh, crispy, none of that overcooking you too often get with your veggies. You have all kinds of options on your noodles, the cut, the thickness, what a great touch! This was delicious, a real surprise, and I will be back, even though I hate Hamilton Place. This was the best Chinese food I've found in town.

However, the excellent customer service more than makes up for it! We had a party of four and were able to seat ourselves while the waiter came over to take our orders. Everyone was super attentive and the service was fast. One server brought us our waters and was incredibly nice. Then another staff member came over to greet us and take our orders. Another gentleman brought out our fries and checked to see if we were ready to order our entrees, but we had already placed our orders. I really appreciated how attentive everyone was throughout our visit! Our food came out in a good amount of time. I ordered the miso ramen, and let me just say--it was a 10/10! The flavors were absolutely spectacular. I've never had tofu that good, and it was served on the side. The way the edamame was seasoned and paired with the broth was simply TOO GOOD! My wife ordered the tonkotsu ramen, which she really enjoyed. I tasted the broth, and it was definitely different from mine, but in a good way! My son also enjoyed his fries, which were fried to perfection. Needless to say, I HAVE to come back before I hit the road and head home!
