LA Kung Fu Noodle

I was excited to come and try the steam buns as well as the other dishes. The menu is very limited which is understandable for the small space. I ordered the pork stem bun, the red bean paste bun, and Dan Dan noodles. The pork bun wasn't hot at all is was luke warm and the meat inside was like a big piece of meat. The Bun to meat ratio was off as you can see in the picture all of the extra bun. The red bean paste had a raw dough taste as if it wasn't steamed also came out luke warm. My noodle soup was okay it could have definitely used more seasoning. I wish the meat was grounded up in the pork bun I believe it would have made a big difference. It was just okay.

Honestly amazing. Quickest service I've probably ever had and the food was incredible! The noodles were juicy and had a great texture, very bouncy and chewy in your mouth. Seafood stock was delicious. Soup dumplings were delicious. Custard buns.... incredible! Every table was taken when we went in and the food was reasonably priced and very filling. Will definitely go back!

Delicious dumplings and XLB’s. Prices are reasonable and the skin is leakproof! No juices spilled out the Xiao Long Baos and the Potstickers/Pan Fried Dumplings. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh.

Very delicious food the #1 on the menu is very flavorful. Hole in the wall restaurant. A real gem. You can see they prepare their food fresh! It's very authentic. Give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

We live an hour away and were just looking for a quick bite, but what a delightful surprise! This turned out to be the best Chinese food we’ve ever had—and we eat out a lot! True gem!’ The kitchen is helmed by a true, authentic Chinese chef, and it absolutely shows. Every dish was a masterpiece. The food was aromatic, bursting with flavor, and perfectly seasoned—not too salty, just balanced perfection. The Dan Dan noodles were especially incredible, packed with bold, savory flavors. This place is worth every mile of the drive. We can’t wait to come back!

The buns and XLB definitely had a feeling of it being heated up from frozen vs. made in house. The beef noodle soup is not what we were expecting, it was noodles in chicken broth with some small chunks of tough beef. Can't recommend.

Really authentic and delicious Chinese food! All the classics and all made from scratch: dumplings that taste like my grandmother made them, fried scallion pancakes and a REALLY solid wonton recipe with a hint of Szechuan peppercorn! It's a small shop, and because they make everything fresh, expect it'll take a few minutes - but it all comes out at once!

This place was so freakin’ good and hit the spot! It’s authentic and feels like it’s homemade. We ordered spicy shrimp wontons, Dan Dan noodles, beef rolls and XLB. Super filling and the two of us ate everything clean.

Love coming here for chicken chow mein and an assortment of delicious dumplings. You can't order wrong. All of it is scrumptious. Always an amazing meal whether we do dine in or grab it for take out. Speedy service and reasonably priced too.

Their dumplings are so flavorful and their prices are so affordable! I always order the pork xiao long baos, and also recommend the pan fried pork dumplings, any of the wonton dishes, and the cucumber salad! Out of their dessert buns, I like their sesame buns the best, then the sweet custard, then the red bean. I don't order them as much because I get too full on savory dumplings, but really recommend getting them if you have room! They usually don't have any music playing, but the food comes out so fast that I don't mind the silence in the restaurant, which is only the case when no other patrons are seated. xiao long bao: 10/10 so juicy, so flavorful, perfect amount of filling. I love these so much and these are definitely my favorite dish from here! pan fried pork dumplings: 9.5/10 very juicy for a pan fried dumpling, but still so crispy! wonton soup: 9/10 I prefer their wonton soup over the spicy ones as it's much more flavorful with the broth! dan dan noodles: 9/10 So flavorful, packed with meat, great sharing dish! I always order it if I'm eating with 3+ others, spicy wontons: 8/10 I wish there was more flavor added than just spicy for their spicy wontons, also not as spicy as I would like. cucumber salad: 8/10 love how the cucumbers aren't too vinegar tasting as I don't enjoy pickle flavors much, but definitely add some soy sauce and chili oil to make the dish even tastier!

I'm giving this place a 4 because the food was absolutely delicious--every dish was amazing! It's a quaint, tiny hole-in-the-wall spot with just one man running the front. I would recommend it solely for the food, but there were some off-putting aspects. At one point, the man serving the food was blowing his nose and cleaning it in plain view. He didn't seem concerned until he noticed me watching, at which point he rinsed his hands--but without using soap. That was pretty unsettling. On top of that, the water tasted like straight tap water, which wasn't great. However, the service itself was decent, and again, the food was fantastic. While I'm torn because of the nose-cleaning incident, the quality of the food makes it hard to dismiss this place entirely. I'm not sure I'd return, but for anyone who can overlook those things, the food is worth trying!

Located in a small plaza next to another Chinese restaurant. I was in the plaza waiting for a to-go order from the Filipino restaurant near by when I saw this place. Small seating area inside and they had a good amount of people eating inside. I decided to get their xiao long bao, popcorn chicken, and pan fried dumplings to try. They had 8 pieces of xiao long bao and they were pretty juicy inside. Their popcorn chicken was juicy inside with a crispy batter that was not too thick. It was seasoned nicely with a good portion size. My family liked the xiao long bao and the pan fried dumplings. Closed Tuesdays.

We ordered takeout (about 30 min wait on a Sunday night) and got three items. The restaurant itself is relatively small, clean, modern. The service is friendly. As for the food: Beef rolls - smaller and longer than I typically see, but still packed with flavor and would definitely get again! Shrimp and pork dumplings - fully stuffed and deeeelicious! Pan fried pork dumplings - the best and not oily! So happy a place like this opened in Claremont. Hope they stick around for a long time. Hiiiiighly recommended from what I tried!

Solid food. A bit pricy for the portion amount. Don't come here if you are not okay with mediocre service. The best dish was the chow mein and the bok choi. The beef rolls were okay, the roll was crunchy on the outside but they were small. My sweet custard bun was not custard. When we split the bun in half, the custard was hard like the yolk from hard boiled egg. The dumplings were okay as well. They were not juicy and tastes a bit dry.

Quick friendly service and great food! It's a small hole in the wall restaurant. There was only one server for the whole place and he was on top of it. We were seated right away and immediately brought out waters. The food came out quick too. I've never had Dan Dan noodles with soup before but it was delicious! Very rich and flavorful. This has become a regular spot for me.

My four year old daughters favorite food is dumplings. I take her to try different restaurants. We came across LA Kung Fu Noodle a couple months ago and ever since we haven't wanted to try other restaurants. Everything on the menu is good here and really fresh. The dumpling and noodles are homemade which is why they are so good. Definitely our favorite Chinese restaurant.

The hand-pulled noodle was the star of the show, but don't overlook the steamed dumplings. The broth of my beef noodle soup was flavorful without being too salty. My Ukrainian friend also enjoyed his wonton soup. He commented that the wonton soup is commonly served in Russian, since it shares a border with northern China. The interior was spacious, but some of the tables were too close to comfortably sit without bumping into the neighbor behind me. There's an outdoor table if you want to avoid being in an indoor space. My dog stayed in the car in the shade because she would probably bark at every passerby. Service was average, but the staff allowed us to use the employee bathroom in the kitchen, which was very kind and appreciated because we really needed it after a long hike in Mt. Baldy.

I was craving for the popcorn chicken and so happy that I tried this place. The portion is big and they made the best popcorn chicken that I have ever had. Every bites of the chicken were juicy, savory, well seasoned and crispy. Even the reheated leftover were still juicy and crispy. Service was average and the place is small but clean and cozy. I also tried the beef stew noodles soup and the fried bao. They were also delicious but the popcorn chicken was my favorite of all.

Delicious food and fast service! We ordered the pork xiao long bao, scallion pancake and beef noodle soup and they were all excellent! The broth wasn't too salty and the beef was tender.

Wasn't expecting such good Chinese dumplings and noodles in Claremont! First, the dough textures were perfect--the noodles, dumpling skins, and steamed buns all had different textures and levels of firmness, and each one was just right. The xiao long bao were some of the best I've had anywhere, bursting with savory soup. The wonton noodle soup might have looked kind of plain, but wow--every sip of broth was packed with flavor. Fried rice was excellent, with plump shrimp and that hot-wok umami. Prompt, friendly service with ample seating and tables in a clean, simple, bright dining space. Can't wait to try more dishes next time.

Got my order to go. There food is more on the lighter and non salty side. Their dishes are good but not as authentic like in San Gabriel Valley. If you need Shrimp fried rice: Rice was pretty fluffy and I appreciate the dish overall was non greasy overall. There was about 5-6 medium size pieces of shrimp. I would order this compared to the beef fried rice. Beef fried rice: Pretty much same as the shrimp fried rice, but the beef is more on the softer side. I tend to prefer the beef to be cooked a little bit more crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

This is your typical local neighborhood Chinese joint. If these local eateries continue to just cook like this, I don't see how they're going to be able to compete against Panda express. At this point honestly customer service, quality of food and efficiency is superior at panda express so why would I pay to come and eat at a place like this? The chow mein was cold and tasted microwaved. The pork Xiao long bao was plain. The chili oil wonton was even more bland. This place does not believe in seasoning, tastes like there's no passion or heart in the cooking. Does the Cook even taste their own food? And don't even get me started on the customer service. I don't recommend this place at all. Go to Panda express.

We had dinner here tonight and enjoyed it a lot. We had the cucumber salad, which I thought had a bitter taste to it but my husband like it. We also had the shrimp chow mein which was delicious. The shrimp were large and juicy and it was well seasoned. We lastly had the port potstickers which were also very good. The service was awesome and the restaurant was very clean and comfortable.

Ahh so so good! This places picks up foot traffic after 5pm or so and the space is pretty small, you might have to wait outside for a table! Regardless, the only staff member who was working at the front was so quick and efficient. He was basically doing three people's jobs in one go. I think the food came out very quickly compared to other dumpling spots. They may not be freshly made on the spot but honestly, as long as they are still delicious, I don't care. The soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, fried rice, and green beans were so satisfying and filling. I did like the pork xlb over the chicken dumplings I ordered. But the chicken dumplings weren't bad. Soup dumplings always win me over due to how juicy they are. So delicious. Living near claremont for most of my life, I really appreciate that the inland area (past diamond bar/walnut) is getting more solid asian restaurants because it helps expands families' palates here and saves us the drive. I'm excited to come back here again.

Stopped by on Saturday, 06/24/23 for the first time. I've been eyeing this place since there's a seldom amount of Chinese Restaurants around the Pomona/Claremont/surrounding areas. I ordered the following to-go: 1) 1 Pork Xiao Long Bao (steamed - 8 inside): $10.99 2) 1 Vegetable Dumpling (steamed - 8 inside): $10.99 3) 1 Sweet Custard Buns (2 inside): $6.99 4) 1 Sesame Buns (2 inside): $6.99 5) 1 Shrimp Fried Rice: $12.99 6) 1 Beef Chow Mein: $13.99 SUBTOTAL: $62.94 TAX: $5.98 TOTAL: $68.92 Very good food however I overly priced. Not as authentic as the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) restaurants but it is still delicious. Small family restaurant but the wait time was very minimal for me. You can also grab free hard candy up front after paying for your meal. Overall 3/5.

This place is really formidable for our area and a relief to my Chinese family. We happily wolf down the beef roll (it's always stunning), the pork cabbage shrimp dumplings, the wonton soup - it's all great. We're just so delighted to have this in Claremont, an area that's been in desperate need of decent Chinese for ages. The family that owns it is from Shandong, and they make things geared for an American palate with a flair that is uniquely from their homeland. Definitely give them a try, I love it, and I know you will too. And support them with enthusiasm so they can stay around forever :3

Shrimp fried rice is great. Shrimps are big and flavor is right on. Service and ambience are good.

Noodles are made in-house. Dan Dan noodles aren't your typical dry & spicy/oily style, it's more soupy, but I enjoyed it a lot. Their pan-fried dumplings are probably my favorite thing to order here, followed by their steamed pork, shrimp, & leek dumplings and Dan-dan noodles.. I've also tried the scallion pancakes here a few times and it's enjoyable; always clean and crispy Xiao long bao & spicy wontons are also more than decent, but like their shrimp fried rice I'd def rather go to you-know-where.. this spot is local to my shop so I'm glad I found my dumpling/noodle fix in a close proximity

Amazing service and food . Sever /owner is the best . You can't go wrong ordering anything on this menu.

Ordered dinner delivery from here last night for the first time, so my review is based on a single experience. Not sure if we just got lucky or if their food is just always good! Usually, at least one of the dishes ends up being inedible every time we order in from Chinese spots. I loved everything we tried - the only con was that the chow mein was extremely oily. Highly recommend the shrimp fried rice, the beef chow mein (tasty but be forewarned about the excess oil), and the steamed bok choy. Looking forward to trying other menu items!

we went on a saturday night and the food was AMAZING!!! i got the dan dan noodles and my friend got the beef noodles; i especially loved my order as both the noodles and the broth were literal perfection. there was also chili oil on the side and when i added that it made my noodles even better. the seating was nice and i liked the vibe inside the restaurant although it was small. food came out super fast (under 5min) and we also got a huge jug of water for free. so recommended.

Winner, winner, chicken, dinner. To find a place like this in Claremont is outstanding. The XLB bun, the potstickers, the noodles which use handmade noodles are all amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the fried shrimp appetizer. Lastly, if you come, you have to get for dessert. The fried dough with condensed milk. The quality of all the food here is absolutely amazing for the small hole in the wall. I'll definitely be back. Thank you.

Silly name, but the food is legit. It's probably the most legit Asian restaurant in this area, although I generally don't come out to Claremont to eat Asian food. My family and I decided to venture out here today just for this place because my wife works near the area and wanted to see if this place is any good. It probably won't stand out if it's in SGV area, but I found the food to be quite good. I almost want to give this five stars, but just don't want to hype up the expectation for other people. Xiao Long Bao (juicy pork dumplings) were great, although the skin could've been thinner on top. Overall it was still thin enough to enjoy the soup inside without having it all soaked up by the skin. Beef Noodle Soup had soothing broth with just the right amount of flavor, and the noodles were excellent. Tasted like homemade with the right amount of firmness to provide some chewiness. Cucumber Salad was refreshing with a little bit of kick at the end. I wouldn't necessarily call it spicy, but it had a subtle bite. Sesame Buns were excellent. Tasted super fresh and were piping hot when they came out. They weren't overly sweet either, which I liked. My entire family loved this place, and will be our regular stop for lunch when we are out in Claremont. It's located in an inconspicuous area so it's easy to miss if you are not specifically looking for it. It's fairly small inside with about six tables total.

Good， I like it! And each time I went to La Kung Fu Noodle, I ordered dumpling and fried rice, my daughter like it too

Truly a hidden strip mall gem here. Inconspicuous and humble dumpling house that is serving delicous dim sum and noodle soup. They also have rice and noodle dishes on the menu, but the stars here are the dumplings and the soups.

I am so glad that I checked Yelp again to look for some beef noodle soup and Xiao Long Bao. This place just opened for 3 months, and wow is the food good. It isn't that big of a place maybe 6 tables at most, usually the tables can fit at least 4. I found out from the person who took our order that this place the chef is from Shandong, so their specialty would be anything in the noodles, bread that they make. Am just so stoked that a place like this exists in Claremont! They do have a working Apple Pay (they found out together with me) , and a high chair in case you do have small children! Food Our first time here we were able to try the following: Beef Noodle Soup- The Noodle is amazing, and the broth and beef is just as great. It is a more clear broth and my kids loved it. Dan Dan Noodle- This was my first time trying this sort of Dan Dan Noodle, that was more soup based. It has a bit of spice but not too hot, but was great with the peanuts and grounded meat Xiao Long Bao - FINALLY a place that makes this Quite Legit with soup inside of them. Can't wait to try other flavors Sesame Bun- the bread was "pillowy" wasn't too sweet, was great ! Can't wait to try their Beef Roll Wrap, Hot Oil Wontons, and other dishes. Will definitely be visiting quite often!

Food was great. We got the dumplings, fried rice, beef noodle and popcorn chicken. Service was quick and the place is slightly small but gives it a "homey" feel. Prices were affordable and reasonable with generous serving. Will surely add to my list of go to restaurants. Highly recommendable.

What a delicious hole in the wall. I am so upset at myself for never trying this place before. I have been sing out and so have you! This is the most scrumptious food I have had in a while 10/10!

Ok so I'm all about the dumplings and Taiwanese style food and we ate as this little shop in Claremont and boy were we on for a treat. My wife always gets the pork Xiao long bao, which is basically steamed pork dumplings. I ordered Dan Dan noodles and I loved it the sauce it's full bodied and rich and made even better with the fresh noodles they make for this noodle soup bowl. Amazing. Definer order some dumplings, scallion pancakes and this Dan Dan noodles dish. You're going to love it

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant is located across the street from Baskin Robbins ice cream, tucked away in the back of a retail plaza. I ordered over the phone and was told it would take 30-40mins. I ordered the beef roll and panda fried pork dumplings. The place was packed when I got there. There's only a handful of tables, but each one was taken and there was only one person serving them all. It looks to be a mom and pop restaurant. The beef roll and pork pan fried dumplings were delicious! It doesn't taste similar to other Asian restaurants in sgv/626 area, but it is flavorful and unique in its own way. It was so good that I went back the following night and ordered the same thing, but I also tried the chicken fried rice. It was also great! I'm glad I've found a new Asian restaurant in my area!

Fantastic place! Love the veggie buns, the veggie dumplings, veggie chow mein and scalion pancakes. Everything was super good and fresh. Highly recommended. Will be back many times!

Food is good. Dan Dan noodle was very soup compared to what I'm used to. Hubby ordered the beef noodle soup. It was good for the area. We also ordered these spicy wontons which some very flavorful. Will be back in wherever back in the area. Will need to try the xlb next time

I love this place, ive only been here 10 minutes. Im coming back. Im bringing people.

Super random spot we found on the way back from camping. We didn't know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised. Their XLBs (soup dumplings) had a lot of soup, were very flavorful, and the skin was thin. Their beef noodle soup was also tasty, but not overly oily or salty as some can be. I would just recommend being a bit more attentive to your customers - we didn't really get much service despite being the only ones there when they opened.

This place is absolutely divine!! Can you believe we have soup dumplings in claremont!?! Always fresh, everything is sumptuous and incredibly well made. Fast and efficient service kudos to you LA Kung Fu!

Went there today for the first time with my husband on a lunch date. Everything was delicious, as good or better as our beloved Din Tai Fung. So happy to have found a dumpling spot nearby, as we will definitely return.

Food was really good and at great price. Restroom area is not desirable(l don't have the heart to say more) and you have to walk through the kitchen. Service was so so, server didn't speak much to just, just take the orders and that was it.

The food was so delicious and very authentic, but they got the kinda service that makes you feel a little unwelcome and uncomfortable. Please work on friendliness for the future （｀；；´）//

Service and restaurant ambience were nice. Lots of take out orders. may try the dumplings next time. Thank you

My favorite place for Taiwanese food ever! Prices are very reasonable, food is delicious and authentic, service is quick, ambiance is cozy--what more could you ask for? Must try: dan dan noodle, pan fried buns

Got there and ordered chicken dumplings. Oh heavens, I devoured those dumplings in seconds. There was no break lol. Service was ok, not bad. I'd definitely come back

I ordered carry out on a rainy day. I had been feeling sick and really wanted some soup. Soup dumplings were great. A little doughy on the top, more than I expected. Wish the order came with some chili oil. But it was still great I had the noodle soup the next day. The beef pieces in the soup were incredibly tender. Maybe the broth in the soup could have a stronger flavor but overall really good

Came here for dinner and service was quick! We ordered Dandan noodles, cucumber garlic salad, XLB, and fried mantou with condensed milk. All were excellent and authentic. We finished it all between the two of us and prices were on the lower side. Would definitely come back when craving for Chinese food. Small indoor seating area with a couple of outdoor seating tables.

The xiao long boa was very good. The fried rice was good. The pan fried dumplings and pork roll was average. The beef roll had good flavor but not enough meat. The rating is a bit inflated because locally, there isn't anything as good. If this was located in West Covina/Rowland Heights, it would be a 3.

Their fried rice and XLB keep us coming back! Incredibly delicious food! 5 stars for good flavor and good food!

We were excited to find a new Chinese restaurant opening in this area! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, below are my personal opinions: - beef noodle soup: the most disappointing dish, considering they're a "noodle" restaurant. The beef was ok, but the soup base is not very flavorful or has any body - shrimp fried rice: not bad, very generous portion for its price too - popcorn chicken: my favorite out of the bunch, the chicken is fried well so it stays juicy and not tough. It's also not super salty like some other places - pan fried dumplings: not very special, doesn't have much flavor - spicy wontons: the skins on these are so thick that they're really more dumplings than wontons. The spicy sauce also doesn't taste very special We chose to skip the xiaolongbao because we took it to go and it would've probably died before we got to eat them. Overall a disappointing meal. I know they're still quite new so hopefully they find their footing soon. I would eat the popcorn chicken again but would skip the rest.

Thanks to Yelp again, we found this little place of a gem while we were near Claremont. It sits far back in a strip mall so make sure you look for it. It's a small place, nothing fancy but the food is great and reminds me of my mom & dad's cooking. I think it's family owned and they make the dumplings so it's really fresh. It was just the 2 of us, so we didn't order a lot. We had the cucumber salad, shrimp fried rice, beef noodle soup and xiao long bao. Everything was delicious and service was fantastic! It's not close to us but we will definitely visit and support them when we are in the area because we want to try the other items on the menu.
