Two, one, oh : Soup that packs a punch

👋 Madalyn again! As long as the weather keeps calling for soup, I'm answering — this time with Kung Fu Noodle.

The vibe: This relaxed Chinese soup spot near USAA was new to me, but judging by the crowd, I'm late to the party.

• As busy as it was, my group was able to get a table pretty quickly.

What to try: The beef noodle soup ($11.28). It's perfectly slurpable, the beef is fall-apart tender and the broth is full-bodied in flavor.

• You can pick your ideal spice level. I landed on level 2 after a recommendation from staff, and it hit the perfect balance.

The bottom line: It's fast, unfussy and exactly the kind of comfort food chilly days call for.
