    Beef wrap, and scallion pancake
    Howard W.

    This is the first time I come here my beef flank soup was very good and my friends pickled vegetable fish. Soup was also delicious. The scallion, wet beef also good I will come back. And the surface was fast efficient and the place is clean with bright light, modern deco.

    Braised bone rice noodle
    Sharon L.

    The Flushing location for ten seconds noodles is somehow even better than the Brooklyn one! Stopped by for a quick dinner with my boyfriend & I was quite surprised that the two locations could differ so drastically. My boyfriend ordered the braised bone rice noodle, & I got the spicy sliced beef rice noodle. I actually really liked my boyfriend's soup - the broth was so flavorful & rich. I really liked mine as well - it's like a mala soup base, and the spice level wasn't bad at all. There's 2 pepper signs on the menu, but I'd say it was closer to 1. It was incredibly flavorful as well. I really appreciate how they give you little bowls on the side to either scoop out some toppings, the noodles, or soup. It makes it much easier to eat the noodles since the broth is piping hot and makes for a bit of a splatter hazard. There'a also chili oil on the table, and it was really yummy. Free noodle refills are available at this location, and scallion & cilantro toppings are free as well. Yelp check in provides a free passionfruit tea (it was really good!) or plum juice, and can be redeemed for each person who checks in at the table.

    Gigantic portions here! This was the most stuffed I have been in a while. The service here is very lax, but at least they're not rushing you. I got the Tomato w. Beef Flank Rice Noodle ($12.95), which like all their pots, came already pre-assembled in this impressive black pot. Normally, crossing the bridge noodles's uniqueness came from the disassembled ingredients as shown in some of their past pics. So I was disappointed at first. But upon digging in, the flavor was very delicious! I wasn't expecting to see snow fungus in my broth, but the usual bean curd, quail egg, and corn were there. Their Beef Flank was also not chewy at all, and easy to bite into. And for a tomato broth, there were no tomatoes as a fyi. Most amazingly, I was impressed by how full I was off of this affordable meal. If you ever need a quick meal on a budget one cold night, you know where to look!

    4.5/5 I'm a lover of all noods. Bf and I wanted to try this place for a quick dinner and it was sorta packed when we got there. They do have limited outdoor seating as well. We waited for about 5 mins and people started to leave after their meal. We thought it must be yummy if people came in on a rolling basis. Looking at the menu was a little overwhelming at first because of all the options. Bf got the pickled cabbage fish fillet rice noodles and I decided on the tomato beef rice noodles. We were both WOWed. The fish fillets were not fishy at all and the tomato broth/soup was flavorful. You can also get free refills of the rice noodles!!!! Overall super yummy, and warmed our bodies on a chilly day. Would definitely come back to try their other noodles.

    A new dining experience for me and husband. We never expected that we will have a good time . We never been dining-in for the past long months. We were thinking of dining out when we checked in but when we saw that they follow distancing , we agreed to be seated inside. It is under new management for those who had been here before since the menu has different business name. The noodle broth taste is amazingly different basing on our past dining experiences with restaurants offering same kind of meal. I had the chicken rice noodle soup and my husband had the spicy beef flank rice noodle soup. My husband had complimented the uniqueness of its taste multiple times. It must be really really good. I did not try his because I do not like spicy foods. The stoneware used kept the soup hot the whole time while we were there. I may buy those kind of pot for personal use. Lol. We were thinking of coming back once get comfortable again with the situation.

    I think the experience is much better in store. I ordered delivery - I have to say their packaging is real fancy, however, it's missing many things like the quail, egg, wings, etc. You'll want to see them plated and add yourself which you'll only get to do in store.

    Pork Chop Rice Noodle
    Bentley H.

    I've been here a few times both sitting down at the restaurant and ordering for takeout. I ordered the fried pork chop noodle soup and it comes with a large assortment of ingredients. It comes in a large pipping hot pot so be careful. Broth is flavorful as it is infused with all the ingredients. The pork was ok. I wish that they had put it on the side instead of in the soup. It gets pretty busy late at night since it's one of the few restaurants that opens until 10:30. We were sat at the table where they usually pack the orders due to how popular the place was. Quick tip- I believe you can ask for free unlimited noodle refills. They also give you two off-branded yakult drinks at the end!

    Been here twice already and I love this place!! Both times, I came on a Friday afternoon during my lunch break (1230PM - 130PM) and it does get pretty crowded! If I make it here by 12:35-12:40, there's not much of a wait but once I get here a little later than that, it's gets packed really quickly. It is a small place and can probably fit about 30-40 people? The first time, I had ordered the Beef with Kimchi Rice Noodles ($11.95) and it was SUPER DELICIOUS. The waitresses first bring out the dishes/ingredients of uncooked meat, corn, bean curd, raw egg, slices of ham, etc etc and then after a few minutes, they bring out the hot stone bowl. (It comes out relatively quickly so I wasn't on a time crunch to finish my food.) They also ask if you if you'd like to put the ing yourself or if you want them to put it in. I asked the waitress to put it in for me so I could record!! They're quick and careful because the hot stone bowl is extremely hot! I absolutely love fatty beef so that was very delicious. The soup base was also very flavorful + tasteful - it had a little spicy kick to it! The second time I went, I got the Beef Flank Tomato Rice Noodle (also $11.95). However, this time I came a little past 12:45pm and the hot stone bowl didn't come out until 20 minutes after my friends and I ordered! I was on a time crunch because I only had 15 minutes to eat this super hot bowl of beef flank tomato rice noodle. The broth definitely had a strong tomato taste but I had burnt my tongue slightly because I was rushing! So gotta be careful! I also couldn't get over how the meat was so tender and tasted so juicy!! Drooling just thinking about it right now! Both times, I couldn't finish my food so the waitresses would put it in a container for me to take to go. Another great thing about this place is FREE WIFI! Definitely will continue to come back and try other things on the menu!!

    You know it's authentic Chinese while there are many Chinese people inside! The best selling dish is "Crossing-the-bridge noodles"form Yunnan province. Food is fresh and I like how they separated the sides and the noodles and let you put together whilst they served you with a boiling hot broth in a stone bowl, so they don't get over cooked or soggy. I like their indication of spiciness form 1-3 , I think 2 is the perfect spiciness for me! If you checked in on Yelp they would offer a free plum drink or passion fruit tea, I only tried the passion fruit tea, it's delicious and hydrating! Two things that I don't like about the restaurant: THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!!!!!!!! THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!!!!!!!! THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!!!!!!!! That's very important so I have to say it 3 times. Oh! and if they don't bring the trash out from the front whilst people are eating that would be much appreciated.

    Noodle# cockroaches # roaches#
    Ann Z.

    Disgusting!!! I ordered rice noodle and noodles with soy bean paste, and there are cockroaches inside. More than one of them. More than one!!! Who can imagine it!!

    The fact that this place has less than 4 stars is a crime. These noodles are one of my favorite comfort foods. I always order the spicy beef rice noodle. SOOOO GOOD!!! The portion size is also HUMONGOUS. It's really worth all your money. Tip: if you order take out, you can add more toppings from home and make it even tastier

    Lamb tomato noodle soup?
    Roger H.

    Nice friendly staff, but incredibly confusing menu where everything look scattered, was all over the place, and did not provide translations for every item on the menu. I ordered the pork belly pan fried noodles and the lamb tomato soup noodles, the pork belly pan fried noodle was okay, it was incredibly oily due to the hot oils that were used to cook up the dish, the tomato lamb soup noodle had a great hearty lamb flavor that combined well with all the ingredients there. Overall nothing about this place stood out to me, it was overall an incredibly average experience topped with a confusing menu

A lot of Chinese folks like it the way it is but for American tastes, I think it would come off as slightly bland. I like to have a few sips adding only salt and white pepper to appreciate the original taste. Then I doctor it up with black vinegar, even more white pepper and their chili which is actually spicy. It becomes addictively delicious. The wide hand pulled noodles which they stretch and cook to order has the perfect bite and chew.

Our wonton soup came first which is enough for 3 ppl if you just want a bowl to try. It had lil tiny shrimps in it ...not used to that but the flavor of the soup was light and the wontons were good. Skin was thin, not dense at all. Then our XLB came. I really liked the sampler. I tried the Scallop, chicken, pork and Luffa Gourd. L had the truffle and crab.. we were able to taste the flavors. They're light but very distinct. We don't eat too much sodium or processed food in our diets so we were able to distinguish each one. I actually liked the Scallop and chicken ones. The gourd one was really sweet but I could definitely taste the melon flavor. Chicken was savory and a touch better than the pork XLB...the scallop one was very unique. Light but very yummy. L said the crab one actually had more flavor than other restaurants in Chinatown. And we both prefer these to the ones at Din Tai Fung. Price isn't an issue but taste wise this has a ton of soup, more flavor. DTF tastes almost like a frozen XLB cuz it's so small and doesn't have any soup! I have purchased frozen ones from restaurants before. Will definitely come here or a different location if I feel like having XLB. Service was pretty good. Very attentive. Refilled our tea all the time and when we ordered more items...everything was quick. Nice spot to grab a quick, casual meal.
