OX2 Buns & Noodles

Soup dumplings, knife-sliced noodles and rougamo

Gunbarrel Rd at 2288

2288 Gunbarrel Rd #142, Chattanooga, TN 37421423-269-6666

OX2's matching Gunbarrel Chowbus merchant menu separates homemade dim sum, hand-pulled noodles, knife-sliced noodles, rougamo and cold noodles. The two soup-dumpling listings are distinct from its pot stickers and pan-fried buns. This independently discovered merchant feed was read for the exact suite 142 branch.

Build an order. Order Steamed Soup Dumplings (6) - Pork $10.95 and Steamed Soup Dumpling (Shrimp And Pork Mixed) $12.95, with Beef Home Made Cold Noodle $15.95; the cold noodle description names bean sprouts, sliced cucumber and sesame peanut mix sauce. The first soup-dumpling title states six; the shrimp-and-pork title states no count. Their Chinese names are respectively 灌汤小笼包 and 秘制虾粉小笼包. Beef Hand-Pulled Noodle Soup is displayed at $15.95⁺, and Garlic Broccoli at $12.95. The visible plus marker is retained rather than treated as a fixed total.

Before you go. The freshly rendered menu displayed Friday 11:00 AM-9:30 PM and a closed notice with pickup scheduled for later. Other weekdays were not established in the retained rendered view; call 423-269-6666 before a trip. A subsequent ordinary HTTP fetch returned 403 Cloudflare, so that source was stopped without a retry. The earlier rendered menu receipt is retained; it is not a promise of ordering availability.

Dishes to know. Soup dumplings

Pickup only The matching Chowbus merchant feed displayed Pickup and Delivery Unavailable as of 2026-10-09, with an early-morning closed notice. This qualifies the fetched channel only; no other delivery service or available-order promise is inferred.

Rice Boxx's Hixson Pike menu has a Chinese Wok Dinner section alongside Thai food, Japanese grill and sushi.

Mandarin-described Peking duck and vegetable dishes

Highway 153N at 5425

5425 Highway 153N, Chattanooga, TN 37343423-875-6953

Formosa identifies its community as Hixson while printing a Chattanooga postal address on Highway 153N. Its linked Menufy menu describes Peking Duck as a traditional Mandarin dish, lists several other duck preparations and separates vegetable plates from pork-and-vegetable dumplings. The duck dishes carry starting-price plus marks.

Hunan-named triple delight and moo shu vegetables

E 23rd St at 2201

2201 E 23rd St, Chattanooga, TN 37407423-624-6200

Hunan Wok 1 at 2201 E 23rd Street has separate House Special, Moo Shu, Diet Dishes and noodle sections. Its Hunan-named triple delight and vegetable moo shu create a different meal from the buffet-linked Gunbarrel kitchen or the roast-duck menu in Hixson. The operator explicitly labels its ordering route Pick Up Only.

Build an order. Order S14. Triple Delight, Hunan Style $15.75 with M11. Moo Shu Vegetable $15.25 and 10. Steamed Dumplings (8) $7.50. The Moo Shu section states four pancakes; that count belongs to the pancakes. The eight-piece dumpling title does not identify soup dumplings, har gow or siu mai. Diet Dishes names Steamed Mixed Veg. w. Bean Curd $11.50 with sauce and white rice on the side.

Before you go. The Location and Hours page lists Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 11:00 AM-10:30 PM, Tuesday closed, Friday-Saturday 11:00 AM-11:00 PM and Sunday noon-10:30 PM. Phone 423-624-6200. The fetched route displays Pick up, and requests for extra items or special preparation may incur charges outside the displayed menu price.

Pickup only The operator homepage explicitly says Pick Up Only and the rendered menu shows Order type: Pick up as of 2026-10-09. This describes its checked ordering route; no unverified partner delivery is implied.

Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant

Singapore rice noodles, Triple Hunan and tofu

E Brainerd Rd at 8652

8652 E Brainerd Rd Suite #106, Chattanooga, TN 37421423-899-4878

Hong Kong's East Brainerd operator menu distinguishes pint and quart plates from fixed-price chef's specialties and rice noodles. Its Triple Hunan and Singapore chow mei fun are a noodle-and-shared-plate meal, while a separate vegetable section lists General Tso's Tofu and other named tofu choices.

Build an order. Order Triple Hunan $15.35 with Singapore Chow Mei Fun $13.45 and Fried/Boiled Dumplings $8.15. The dumpling title does not state a count or a soup-dumpling identity. General Tso’s Tofu $12.05 sits in the Vegetable section; DIET Mixed Vegetables $10.75 has an explicit garlic-and-cooking-wine preparation description. The menu warns that Chow Mei Fun orders may take longer to complete.

Before you go. The operator lists Monday and Wednesday-Saturday 11:00 AM-9:00 PM, Tuesday closed and Sunday noon-9:00 PM. Phone 423-899-4878. Its ordering menu displayed Pickup and Not Accepting Orders at the morning fetch, so call before relying on the online route. Pint and quart prices elsewhere are distinct entries and are not substituted for these fixed chef's-specialty and noodle amounts.

Pickup only The operator's fetched Wix online menu displays Pickup and Not Accepting Orders as of 2026-10-09. This qualifies the current menu channel only; confirm service and other ordering options by phone.

Forbidden City

Buffet service or a separately priced Chinese carryout meal

Gunbarrel Rd at 2273

2273 Gunbarrel Rd Suite #103, Chattanooga, TN 37421423-305-1087

Forbidden City's operator homepage advertises buffet dining, takeout and a separate bar at Gunbarrel suite 103. The linked Kwick carryout menu has individually priced Chinese appetizers, vegetarian plates and chef's specials alongside sushi. The meal here uses those carryout entries rather than treating a buffet price as an à la carte dish price.

Build an order. From the linked carryout menu, choose Cs12.Salt&Pepper Shrimp $13.75 with V4.Tofu In Hunan Style $9.00 and A5.(a)Steamed Pork Dumpling(8) $5.95. The chef's-special description says the shrimp is lightly battered and sautéed with black pepper. The tofu sits in the Vegetarian section; ask about sauce ingredients. The pork dumpling title supplies eight pieces without a soup-dumpling, har-gow or siu-mai identity.

Before you go. Buffet hours on the operator homepage are Sunday-Thursday 11:00 AM-9:00 PM and Friday-Saturday 11:00 AM-10:00 PM. The linked online menu instead lists closing times of 9:30 PM and 10:30 PM respectively. Phone 423-305-1087. The homepage says posted restaurant prices control and applies a 15% service charge to parties of six or more; confirm the chosen service and final terms.

A little more clarity.

Which Chattanooga menu explicitly lists soup dumplings?

OX2's matching Gunbarrel Chowbus menu lists Steamed Soup Dumplings (6) - Pork at $10.95 and Steamed Soup Dumpling (Shrimp And Pork Mixed) at $12.95. Six appears only in the pork title. The retained menu was rendered on 2026-10-09 before a later ordinary HTTP request returned 403 and was stopped; call for availability.

Where is a duck meal described as Mandarin on the menu?

Formosa's Hixson/Highway 153N menu describes 525. Peking Duck as a traditional Mandarin dish with pancakes, scallions and plum sauce, displayed at $42.00+. It requests an additional 15-20 minutes for duck entrées. Carryout ends at 9:00 PM daily, earlier than some business-hour closes.

Which checked routes list delivery?

Formosa's own site offers carryout or delivery, and nearby Grand China's operator page lists a five-mile radius, $15 minimum and distance fees, with Saturday delivery closed. Rice Boxx links DoorDash and Uber Eats, while Forbidden City links UberEats and GrubHub. Those partner pages and your address eligibility were not checked. OX2's fetched Chowbus route says Delivery Unavailable; Hunan Wok 1 and Hong Kong show pickup.

What vegetable or vegetarian choices are actually named?

Formosa explicitly describes Buddhist Style Combination as vegetarian and made with wheat flour and soybeans. Rice Boxx describes its vegetable gyoza with nine kinds of vegetables and lists General Tso's Tofu. Other named choices include Hunan Wok 1's Moo Shu Vegetable, Forbidden City's Tofu In Hunan Style, OX2's Garlic Broccoli and Grand China's tofu plates. Ask about sauces, broth and cross-contact; a vegetable title alone does not establish every ingredient.

How should I compare these hours and menu prices?

Every selected menu was read on 2026-10-09 and each record labels its price channel. Formosa retains starting-price plus marks and separates carryout from business hours. Forbidden City's buffet and online closing times differ. OX2's retained rendering establishes Friday 11:00 AM-9:30 PM only; other days require confirmation. Hong Kong displayed Not Accepting Orders, and Rice Boxx's base dinner prices precede optional charges.
