Earlier this yr I had the pleasure of writing about Kung Fu Noodle for Columbus Month-to-month‘s Greatest New Eating places characteristic (you’ll be able to learn it right here!). Proprietor Dennis Zhang began Kung Enjoyable Noodle in Dayton and expanded it to Columbus in mid-2024. It took over an open storefront on Godown Street off Bethel, subsequent to the establishment Los Guachos.
Kung Fu Noodle’s area is pretty sparse, with a group of four-top tables scattered all through and a mixture of wall decor with no constant theme. However that’s all secondary to the truth that Kung Fu produces some wonderful noodle dishes, and distinguishes itself with its hand-pulled noodles.
The hand-pulled noodles are the large characteristic right here, however don’t hesitate to skip round the remainder of the menu. A great start line are these pleasant spicy wontons in a Szechuan peppercorn sauce.
Or the steamed dumplings.
Or the soup dumplings stuffed with a wealthy broth.
The spicy potato chips are lined in a heavy cumin-rich sauce. The flavour’s fairly good, though the feel wasn’t our favourite – a bit of soggy and heavy.
The noodle dishes supply the choice to make use of their house-made hand-pulled noodles, and we extremely advocate selecting that each time (even with the small up-charge). The dan dan noodles are a straightforward first step. They’re soaked in a fiery sauce and lined with floor pork.
The proprietor really useful the Lanzhou beef noodle soup, the signature dish from his hometown in China. The hand-pulled noodles are mixed with slices of beef and veggies in a transparent broth.
Don’t skip the stir-fried noodles, too, like these hen stir-fried noodles. It’s all well-seasoned, and the hand-pulled noodles have such a beautiful texture.
Apart from the noodles, certainly one of my favourite dishes was the scorching pepper pork over rice. It’s a fantastic dish with a pleasant seasoning. It brings the warmth, however it’s not overwhelming.
Add Kung Fu Noodle to your record of Chinese language locations to frequent! It appears like they’re positioning themselves for development, so I wouldn’t be stunned if we see extra shops round Columbus. I, for one, welcome that!
Kung Fu Noodle is open Tuesday by Sunday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
