Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle
8.0
A crowded, date-friendly noodle shop built around Yunnan “crossing bridge” bowls and bold broths. The best experience is a disciplined one: pick a signature noodle soup, add one cold side for contrast, and skip menu sprawl.

Yunnan rice noodle soup (crossing bridge style), Spicy beef brisket noodles, Wood ear mushroom salad
