For dinner is correct. Not on dinner. The noodles are on the plate, but they're for dinner.
I would use number 1. You don't need the before dinner. I wouldn't say that number 3 is incorrect, but you don't need her. It's obvious that it's her dinner since she's eating it.

For the dinner is incorrect? Thanks.

As I said, you don't need "the" before dinner. I wish I could share an easy way to remember when to use articles and when to leave them out, but I am not aware of one.
