This is a quaint little restaurant tucked into the quickly developing Chinatown in Sunset Park.
It feels like stepping back into a side street in China, where you get a small, family run vibe and some really delicious Yunnan food, Which there isn't much of in NYC.
One of my favorite noodle places in this area, one of its kind and the best of its kind. Yun Nan Crossing-the-Bridge noodles are presented in a unique way, they give you a steaming hot bowl of broth, it may seem simple but full of flavor, you get to choose your toppings, I always do fish filet, the server then pours the filet into the broth, it cooks just like that! Then they'd add the quail egg, bean sprouts and chicken or pork. At the end, you get your noodles in the bowl, there comes your delicious meal.
It's a huge bowl of white noodles, the fish filet is always tender, the broth which I never drink is so clear but so flavorful. Some of my friends claim that it's full of msg, but it's still great. I've tried this in Yun Nan several times, this is definitely on par.
saw such great reviews so we stopped in for dinner recently and to begin, service is horrible. there were just 2 girls working the cashier for take out and walking thru to take orders. we were never served drinks, or maybe they just dont do that. their menu has english but u basically cant ask questions because neither of them were able to understand. we tried the cold noodles as the pics showed because i felt it was one of those obligatory things here that are must try, but wouldnt taste good – but it was surprisingly good because the flavors weren't what i had expected. the only thing is i wish i knew what kind of minced meat i was consuming. we also tried beef nom with hand pulled noodles – which were absolutely tasteless. from the broth to the beef nom, no taste at all. the restaurant is also quite odd – nothing is in the fish tank but newspapers, the walls have shelves with nothing on it.
This place seems to be the only Yun Nan noodles in the city as far as I know. For appetizer we had Four Mein(pig ears, pig tongues, ox sinews, ox tendons). I loved it and also the sauce that came with it. I ordered crossing bridge noodles with fillet. The broth with fillet was chicken broth, light and savory. The one with beef/lamb tasted heavier and a little numbing. I liked my broth a lot. There were also black chicken came with the noodle which was great! Other than that I was not impressed. Dropping one star because the menu is misleading. It says fillet but actually has half plate of fish filet and half plate of pork. The pork was very hard to chew so I left all in my large bowl. Fish and black chicken were good though.
Be careful of the portion. It is huge!
I used to get lunch here when I worked in the area, and I remember enjoying it so I decided to come back for old times' sake.
Service here was what you would expect from restaurants in this area. Nothing phenomenal, took a while before the waitress came to take our order.
I got the beef stew with rice noodle. Ultimately, it was such a disappointment.The dish as a whole was very salty, and in terms of "mala", it was way more "ma" (numb) than "la" (spicy). In fact, it was barely spicy! The beef stew was not tender enough, and kind of dry too, if that's possible.
My friend got that crossing bridge noodle dish, which he said was overrated. He didn't think it was that good, and he thought that his dish was too salty and "ma".
Not sure if that day was just an off day for the establishment or if the food quality went down. 🙁
Solid stuff with fairly monstrous portions. The crossing the bridge noodle broth is delicious! It reminds me of hu tieu's pork broth but with a lot more white pepper and something deliciously cloying in the back of your mouth. The cold noodles aren't bad and do taste different than cold noodles from other parts of china, but not so much more so that I think you need to go out of your way to try it.
Anyways the broth is the star of the show and you should get it.
Yun Nan Flavor Garden isn't anything special to look at. But neither are you, and we're not complaining. At least they make some of the best noodle dishes in the city; what good are you?
While they are simply listed as "cold noodles" on the menu, this plain description belies the astonishingly flavorful combination of ground meat, cilantro, and peanuts served atop a hearty portion of perfectly slippery and tender rice noodles. The whole package is tied together by a vinegar-heavy broth that will leave you aching for more.
This is the best summer dish in Brooklyn, and for a gigantic portion of deliciousness, it only costs $6.
I am going to be a tough because this is Brooklyn Chinatown. If this restaurant was in Suffolk county, where Chinese cuisine goes to die, it would be a ten. With that said, after driving an hour and a half through a traffic-packed BQE, we were met with unique flavors and perfect textures. And yes. We came for the beef noodle soup!
The beef noodle soups was a solid portion. Plenty of cilantro and parsley. Not much else. Comes standard with tendon so they don't mess around. The soup is very light. Not salty and a decent amount of flavor.
The noodles are very different in texture and appearance. Round and chewy. must be a Yunan thing. They had a surprising amount of bite.
The beef was mostly tender. Not the most flavorful. The tendon was perfect.
Other dishes.
Cold noodles were very distinct. Spicy and fragrant. Great for a hot summer day. Way to sweet for me. Also the noodle to meat ratio was weak. Not enough meat.
Cold seaweed was great!
Hope to try the cucumber next time. Great service. They let us crack a growler of tree house haze which went really well with our dishes.
Would definitely recommend it. Will try again.
