Excellent and authentic Yunnan rice noodles. I’ve traveled to Yunnan several times and never expected I’d find a restaurant in NYC dedicated to Yunnanese cuisine. Definitely a must if you’re interested in exploring overlooked Chinese cuisines.
Delicious!
Great food and service - the noodles are especially comforting. Would recommend!

South of the Clouds is a hidden gem in Greenwich Village, possibly offering the best Yunnan food on the island. It is a comfort spot for a warm, delicious meal. The signature Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles are an authentic, fragrant, and complete experience with a rich broth and fresh ingredients. Reviewers say the Yunnan rice noodles are excellent and authentic, and the small pot rice noodles are absolutely delicious. Other must-order dishes include the super rich and comforting chicken soup, the Chef Special Chicken Soup, the Steam Pot Chicken, the crispy tofu, the Schuan Spicy Chicken, the black truffle fried rice, and the fresh milk rice pudding. Everything is delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, with amazing portions. The service is quick, friendly, kind, polite, and attentive. The Chinese music in the background creates a lovely atmosphere. The place feels comfortable, making it a restaurant worth visiting again.
