Soup noodles were delicious, and the portions were large. You definitely get your money's worth. Went there twice without incident. However, the third time would be our last time, as we saw a family of three sitting two tables over from where we were sitting, freaking out because a giant elusive cockeroach on the wall was menacing them. The owner's wife tried to smash it, but was not quick enough. Upon seeing this my wife and I requested the check stat and left in a huff.

Tasty balanced meal for a great price. Came around 6pm on a Monday, and was relatively empty. We ordered the Original Crossing Bridge noodles with Beef slices. Food came out piping hot and fast. The noodles also came with tofu, corn, cabbage- making this meal well balanced, which can be rare when eating out. Everything was perfectly cooked and the broth was flavorful- nothing to nitpick at! Great spot for a balanced meal at an affordable price.

One of my favorite places in Queens. Their Spicy Beef rice noodle is amazing, perfect for the cold weather. They give you free noodle refills as much as you want but the original portion is already good enough actually. Service is fine, the atmosphere is nice as well. It's always clean and quiet. A good spot to have conversations with your friends while eating.

It's always a bit surprising how much the quality of this chain restaurant varies from location to location. There are a few locations in Boston that I went to when I used to live in MA, and I feel like the quality was so much better there than this location in Flushing. shrug I ordered the spicy beef flank rice noodle (麻辣牛腩米線). It was actually quite spicy, and I think deceptively so HAHA because it didn't look like there was a lot of chilli oil in it. But perhaps the noodles were very absorbent or something. Anyways I digress. Overall it was a pretty good bowl of noodles, with a very large portion of the rice noodles, which were cooked nicely (not too chewy or hard). I was not a fan of how much of the shredded seaweed ish thing was in the broth since it weighed down every bite. The fried bean curd rolls were nice. There were definitely a lot of pieces of beef, but some of them were mostly fat/unchewable parts, which was a little inconvenient and unexpected when ordering the 牛腩 beef flank option. Overall, though, it was not bad, and the price was still very Flushing, i.e. quite low. Also you get a free passion fruit tea if you check in on Yelp! Yes, I know it's just sugar water basically but it was a nice treat. They also gave a free quasi-frozen off-brand Yakult at the end, too. Good meal in general, but by Flushing standards I was a tad disappointed, especially since there's a better rice noodle place like, literally on the same block.

The service is questionable, but the food is amazing. The complementary yakult at the end of each meal is a great idea. For first timers, I recommend the noodles with fish and sour cabbage. I've been here more than 5 times and really like the noodles. However, I brought a friend today but was met with terrible service. We waited almost 50 minutes total for the food, had to remind them twice that we already ordered and have already been waiting 20-30 minutes. They still wanted more than 18% tip after giving us the bill... If you can look past the gaps in service quality, the food is amazing. I will have to say, one bad experience is more memorable than a good one. 我之前来过这里超过 5 次，每次的服务都很棒。 今天，我和一个朋友在这里吃饭，因为我喜欢这里的面条，想向她介绍这里的食物。 我们坐下来点了食物，但他们忘记了我们的桌子半个小时。 我和我的朋友忙着说话，以至于忘记了时间。 直到查看了时间，我们才意识到已经过去了多少时间。 我们告诉他们两次了我们已经点了菜并且已经等了 30 分钟。 其他人比我们晚入座，但仍然比我们早拿到食物。 总共等了将近 50 分钟才拿到食物，他们仍然想要 18% 的小费。 如果你想要小费，那就好好服务吧。

Tomato and mushroom noodle soups were amazing! A good amount of mushrooms in the mushroom soup and super flavorful. We got one refill of noodle each and it's a pretty big bowl! You can definitely share it with a friend if you don't want to be too stuffed. All the toppings come cooked inside the boiling hot pot of noodle soup so there's no need to add it in like some other places have it. Overall, was a nice cheap and quick meal. Will definitely come back to try other flavors!

We came here on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the fried buns, original crossing bridge rice noodle and tomato with fish rice noodle. Both were noodle soups: The fried buns were DELISH and we dipped them in condensed milk. I would order this again and again. Crossing Bridge came with fish tofu, ham, wood ear mushroom, veggies, corn, and sliced beef. The Fish Tomato Soup came with fish, veggies, etc. The prices are reasonable for the portions you get and the broth is super flavorful. Overall, this restaurant is great to eat on a cold winter day or if you're just craving noodle soup!

I would have never known about this place if my friend had not been introduced to me. It's located in the middle of a small street. There are practically no street parking available due to construction and business cars. Try to park wherever you find along the way.This place has hot boiling pots with noodles. There are many other menus, but I have not tried any of them. This noodle hot pot is so tasty. I can not find a time to try other foods. The soup broth is very flavorful, but I wouldn't drink them... you can pick from various preset hotpot or choose/add/remove ingredients. Look over the menus before you go!The place is very clean. Interior is pretty basic. Nothing too special about interior. Staff are pretty nice. Staff work very efficiently. It looks like the kitchen communicates really well with staff. Overall, service and interior were pretty basic but also were very pleasant!

I've been here multiple times and every time I love it! I'm a huge fan of them, so delicious and so yummy. Service was great, and my go to is always the spicy ones because I can never go wrong with it. But last time I got a tomato base soup and it was genuinely so surprisingly nice, definitely recommend!
I enjoyed my experience there just not used to eating food thats boiling.

The rice noodles and takoyaki were absolutely delish! The soup was like heaven, and the takoyaki was with a lot of sauce and bonito flakes. Service was friendly and helpful, but they forgot to give us the drink, which was fine since we didn't want it during the meal. Very nice setting, the tables and bathroom were clean and the wall art was fantastic!

One of my favorite Yunnan rice noodles in NYC as they really have the broth recipe down right. I have tried almost every variation of the menu and my favorites are Original Crossing Bridge, Beef Tripe, and Fish with Sour Cabbage. I can honestly have a bowl of these rice noodles every week as it's an absolute comfort meal - like a warm hug in a bowl. The crispy chicken, chicken gizzards and pumpkin pancakes are worth trying too!

As someone who eats rice noodles since my day 1 on the planet, I love this place and come eat here whenever I'm in town. Many times I simply forget they close on Tuesdays and still come but that's not their fault!

Went back for a second time and the pickled pepper broth is addictive. Service is great and the place is so clean.
