Kung Fu Mama - Review - Covent Garden - London - The Infatuation

"London is like a spoiled only child when it comes to handmade noodle shops and in Kung Fu Mama, it has somewhere hyper-functional for those in need of a swift bowl that’s more satisfying than any meal deal. A fast-casual spot in the middle of Covent Garden, this place is more noodle production line than restaurant, and is primed for a hangry crowd with its touch-screen ordering and high counters for shovelling. You can choose from a few noodle varieties: ‘wavy’ wheat, biang-biang, or rice noodles. There’s also a sloppy (not entirely wrong, but also not quite right) soft shell cab bao, among other things. Stick to the noodles and be safe in the knowledge you’ll be in and out within half an hour, and will have barely broken a tenner. Food Rundown Chicken Thigh Noodles With Ginger & Sesame These dry handmade wheat noodles are available to buy by the pack, but they also come with sliced chicken thigh, cucumber, coriander, spring onion, slivers of ginger, and a glug of chilli oil in a bowl. The noodles have a good bounce and serious chew to them, although the whole thing is sorely lacking in more sauce and flavour. photo credit: Jake Missing Soft Shell Crab Bao This bao looks impressive but it could do with a bit more finesse. The crab is a little squelchy on bite and there’s too much of the cured egg yolk sauce. On another day, it could be great. photo credit: Jake Missing" - Jake Missing

Such a great place with an amazing atmosphere and vibe! The food was delicious with such an amazing story behind it! The owners Noam and Chris have such a great history in food and you can really tell with these super tasty dishes! My favourites were the chicken noodle and the cucumber salad! Also worth the trip for a cheeky mango shaved ice which was perfectly sweet and tangy

Amazing spot! The food was great and it’s the perfect place for a quick but delicious meal. No need to wait to be seated and order, just quickly order on their machine and you get your order within minutes. Small and cute space. And sooo scrumptious. Loved!

The restaurant has a set-up like a quick grab and go style with some eat-in seats. There are ordering kiosks at the entrance. The service was within reasonable waiting timeframe but it was not fast. The ginger chicken and braised beef both had good flavours and delicious. The noodle and soup weren't hot enough for eat-in. The dried noodle was a bit dry. The shaved ice was good. The dishes are at a good price considered the shop is at central London.

Had their 12 hour beef noodles (£11.25) and really enjoyed it. The beef was extremely tender and flavourful, the chili provided a nice heat to the dish and the noodles were an interesting texture and not too chewy. The portion size was just right, and is great value for the price! The milk tea (£3.20) was a tad small but still a great sweet drink to pair with the noodles. As the restaurant is on the smaller side, finding seats to dine in might be hard during busy periods so do take note.

All 5 stars except atmosphere as the high chairs are not quite comfortable. But thanks for the staff being nice and friendly. You all looks so busy and thanks for your service. Recommend the traditional beef noodle which is authentic Taiwanese food. Soft crab shell bao is a surprise too!

The boss is very warm, sincere and friendly. I heard that the beef of noodles was stewed for 12 hours, and the noodles were also very chewy. We also ordered milk tea and some slides. The restaurant environment is neat and very clean. The price is reasonable not expensive. The dessert mango snow ice is really amazing. I like it so much!!!

My friends who live in London spoke highly about Kung Fu Mama. Yesterday we visited Chris’s noodle bar and tried the beef noodle soup, cucumber salad, and shaved ice cream in both mango and strawberry flavors. As someone who grew up in Taiwan, my favorite is the 12-hour braised beef. It is incredibly flavorful and tender, just like what I remember from home. I also love the mango shaved ice cream. The passion fruit sauce really elevates the dessert! The whole meal truly satisfied my homesickness. I highly recommend this noodle bar if you’re curious about authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup or if you’re from Taiwan craving a taste of home.
