Love the flavor of spice! It's hard to find authentic Yunnan food here so im so happy I tried this place. Food came quickly and the workers were warm and attentive. Would come back!

This post is for their Chicken Salad and it is getting 3 stars due to inconsistency. I'd ordered it several times and it is never the same. Sometimes, there will be cucumbers with it, which adds a refreshing taste to it. Other times, it's just chicken and cilantro, which lacks flavor. Just be warned it maybe not always be the same if you order this dish.

Brought parental units here for a weekday late lunch. The environment is chill, food was good, service was warm and friendly. | Ambiance | There's ~8 table here, with benches for seating; each table can comfortably seat 4-6, possibly more with kids. The restaurant is bright and delightfully decorated. | Food | Given this was our first time here, we ordered two #1 Original: one with shrimp, one with beef. The meat/bone broth has been cooked for hours and has a delicious depth to it. We had regular noodles (imported from Yuana) in one and kale noodles in the other. Both were delicious. The bridge of toppings that come with each order of noodles, albeit gimmicky, was fun and added texture to the dish; atop the bridge were corn, preserve vegetables, yuba, goji berries, ham slices, a shrimp, wood ear strips, chives, and a quail egg. The protein ( slices of beef and shrimp) came out raw, along with noodles on the side, and piping hot broth for us to cook everything in. All in all, a very satisfying meal. We also got the tofu + ground pork cold dry noodles and a wood ear appetizer. The dry noodles were unique and I liked the tofu flavors in them, though I still preferred the version with broth. The wood ear appetizer was good - vinegary and had a little kick. | Service | The manager/owner (?), having learned that this was our first visit, welcomed us and shared her recommendations. It was clear she's passionate about the food and takes pride in their offerings. She and the other waitress were both great in ensuring we were well taken care of; service was quick. Despite this being a restaurant that has been opened for only 5 months, everything is operating smoothly. When the bill came, I opted to pay with a credit card. These days, the tip portion of the credit card workflow at restaurants can get quite confusing, often ranging anywhere from 15-25% or more. Unlike other restaurants that default tip to 18% or 20%, I appreciated Oodle defaulting theirs to 15%. For that, and for the delightful service, I was happy to increase the tip to the next tier up at 18%. They earned it!

Food is yummy. Staffs are friendly. The place is clean. The beef portion can be a little larger as there're only 4 slices.

This place has the best food I've tasted. The food was super yummy. The soup was savory flavored, which I really liked. The inside of this restaurant has a warm and friendly atmosphere. The portions of the food were just right. The service was great because the manager was very friendly and interactive . Overall, I think that this place has the best food and service.

I've had my eye on this place for a while and was finally able to try it out on a rainy Sunday lunch. Even though it was the weekend and the restaurant was small, we were able to get seated after a short wait. Not great for groups greater than 4, our group of 8 had to split into two tables of 4. We got the original noodles, hot & sour fish fillet noodles, and chicken noodles. They all came with the same "bridge" ingredients and noodles but just different soup broth and protein. I thought the original broth was the best--the most flavor depth and not too salty or overpowering either. I finished just about all of my soup. The texture of the noodles were perfect, so bouncy but never felt over cooked in the hot stone pot. We also got popcorn chicken which was so so juicy. The rice rolls were also good- the sauce complemented them very nicely. For drinks, we really liked the supreme fruit tea and milk tea. The lemon tea was okay, and guava tea tasted a bit artificial.

Pretty quiet on a Friday afternoon. We were giving laminated menus and a dry erase marker. Waitress was very quick to take our order and tried to upsell a few times. It was a cool experience. I liked the noodles, but the broth was a little too sour for me. I ordered the original, which came with three slices of beef. I definitely prefer Ten Seconds in San Leandro.

The food was absolutely incredible. I got the spicy pork noodles and they were so savory and flavorful. Their spice game is on point. The people who work here are really nice and respectful, and regularly fill up your water cup. Their skewered fried chicken and beef is soooo good. And the popcorn chicken is cooked to perfection, with extra crispy skin. All of the food tastes incredible, you can’t go wrong here. Highly recommend you check this place out.
A great spot for yunnan rice noodles in the Richmond district. Service was good, we were quickly seated as a party of 2 and had no issues with ordering. Would highly recommend ordering their speciality, the crossing bridge rice noodle, it was unique and flavorful. Definitely coming back here in the future!

Highly recommend this place but you would have to eat it there inside the restaurant. My experience with the take out was not so good but the second time when I went to eat there it was a great experience. If you get spicy it's going to come out spicy if you know what I mean. So I highly recommend to just order at the most medium spicy.

I dropped by for lunch with friends at noon. It was not as busy as evening hours. I ordered a crossing bridge rich noodle. Food is not bad and those small dishes we're fresh. I walked through their kitchen to use the restroom. It looked clean and organized. It is a little bit over priced comparing with another rice noodle restaurant located in Sunset area I visited couple months ago. Quality of the food here is not bad though.Parking: Paid parking on Balboa Sr. You can find a free street parking in the residential area during lunch hours.

Low quality food, no service, and charge way higher price for such food? This is sf, not every Chinese should open a Chinese restaurant. You cannot do this kind of food business.
