Cloudland Rice Noodle offers a variety of traditional Yunnan-style rice noodle dishes, including a small pot rice noodle with minced pork and chives, as well as chicken wings with a complex and spicy flavor. The restaurant serves ru bing, a cheese slice with salt and Chinese pepper as a dry dip. The crossing bridge rice noodles and single cooked rice noodles soup are simple but satisfying, while the steaming pot chicken may have too many bones, making it difficult to taste the chicken meat. The overall experience is decent, with friendly staff and affordable prices, though the noodle quality and menu options could be improved.
Many customers praise the food, especially the 过桥米线, which some say tastes even better than in Yunnan. The owner, who is also the main chef, has put effort into recreating authentic flavors, and the care in cooking is evident. However, some reviewers have noted issues with service, mentioning that the waitress demanded a tip when the bill was paid, which can feel uncomfortable. Despite these concerns, the cozy atmosphere and pleasant decor, along with the delicious flavors, make Cloudland Rice Noodle a spot worth visiting for anyone seeking genuine Yunnan rice noodles in the Bay Area. The restaurant only accepts cash for orders below $20 and tends to be busy and understaffed. Visitors arriving shortly after 6 pm on weekends can expect quick seating, and the owner has been at this location for several years, with many planning to return soon.
