Went here for the first time for a work lunch and was astonded how good it was. I ordered the Crossing the Bridge noodles with green pepper broth. All the mix in sides that could with the broth were fresh and all complimented well when added to the broth. The broth it self had a little tingle spiciness to it but was just so savory and delicious with veggie after taste hints. A friend who had been to Ten Seconds before recommended the green pepper and I am passing that recommendation along to you. I did not order apps but the peanuts and garlic vingear mushrooms were recommended to me by the same friend. Will be trying those when I visit for dinner. I look forward to making multiple more trips to 10 Seconds. It is a great addition to the Austin Asian cuisine landscape. read more

Really amazing service. William was our server. I think he managed the other tables too. He was patient because I had no idea what to order. Adorable and comfortable. No loud music. Lovely! I love when you get a carafe of water as you sit down. I had the most amazing soup. The sides were so yummy. I'll get extra next time for sure. read more

My Copper Pot Rice Noodle Dish reminded me of my parents' authentic Chinese cooking! The Golden Hot & Sour Soup was both savory and tangy, but watch out, because it was more spicy than I anticipated! It was a "mala" type of spicy so the heat lingered throughout the meal haha. I chose the beef stewed protein option (for an additional $1), and loved both the generous amount that was served as well as how tender and flavorful the beef was! The "cherry on top" moment for me was the Mushroom with Garlic Vinegar Sauce appetizer! This dish is also served in other Chinese restaurants, but this restaurant impressed me with the flavor profile they created -- by far one of my favorite ones in Austin! Overall, the prices are very reasonable considering the portion sizes and service was friendly and efficient. I'll absolutely be back :) read more

Loved the servers, the environment, and options on the menu. All of it is really cute BUT i've been to the city where this dish originated and i will say this place is not authentic...at all. The noodles were good but the soup was flavorless, it didnt seem like they slowcooked the pork bone broth for that long, i was adding lots of salt to my soup to add some additional flavor. the beef tendon appetizer is very worth it. The flavor was good and we got A LOT of beef. I will probably not be back but a nice restaurant to try out if you've never had ten second noodles before read more

Ten Seconds Noodle House is an easy spot to miss located in a small strip of shops right on Research Boulevard. It's probably a spot you've driven by a hundred times and somehow never seen, but we're very glad we stopped by because the food was great. Since it's in a strip of shops and close to a Plucker's, it can be hard to find decent parking, especially on a Friday night so be prepared. Once you step in, the restaurant looks nice and clean, much more modern than a lot of other noodle houses you'll see in Austin. We were able to be seated for 6 immediately and the place did fill up quickly so we may have gotten a bit lucky. The food was also very good. We ordered the pork xiao long bao, tonkatsu ramen, and copper pot rice noodle soup with szechuan mala base and stewed beef. The soup dumplings were okay, the dough was a bit too doughy and the filling was alright. The more standout dishes were the ramen and copper pot. The ramen was delicious with a nice deep broth and good chashu. Likewise, the copper pot had a rich flavor, especially the mala base. In both dishes the noodles were also cooked to perfection. We really loved the copper pot and would come back for that alone! The rest of our group also liked their food a lot which is always a plus to see. We very much enjoyed our dinner at Ten Seconds Noodle House. It's an excellent noodle option in North Austin combining good quality and value. It's the perfect spot for a casual date night or group dinner and we think you'll love it so come give it a try! read more

A wonderful experience was had! This place was welcoming and very homestyle. It's a small establishment but suitable for a large group (family style). While this is more of a noodle soup spot the menu has plenty of items if you don't want soup. Unlike other spots the bowl comes out steaming but after a few seconds the food gets cold. My food was hot the entire time! The popcorn chicken could have been an entree versus an appetizer. The service was prompt and sufficient. The spice levels are a little off. I got medium and just smelling the broth made me cough and my eye watered a bit. Pricing is average for the area but over all the food was worth it. The beef was tender and the broth was flavorful. My only issue was the drink options were minimal but the water carafe at the table did the job. read more

So cute!! I was in this area for work and decided to have a solo lunch after seeing some one on Facebook mention this spot recently. I was very pleasantly surprised with the interior decor and portion/cost. Very clean and well light for the type of meal. The menu is large and so many dishes intrigued me but since I was solo.. I could only go with one. I ordered the cross the bridge with a tomato base soup. I'm usually an adventurous person but played it safe with this one. Pretty safe for a first timer, btw. Some of the items included were not for me but that beauty is, you can just leave out the items you don't want. I didn't have any instruction on what to do here but going purely off my own brain processing, I put everything in immediately except for the noodles. The soup stays warm but it does not constantly stay cooking btw! 5 pieces of beef was enough for me but you can always get an extra order. The noodles were sooooo bouncy and soft. Might want to be careful with your clothing cause this soup broth is staining. lol.. This was so good. Hit the spot for this pseudo autumn AM weather. I expect to be back relatively soon to try the dry pot with mala :) read more

4.5 Stars Authentic Chinese cuisine (they also have ramen) in a clean casual spot with phenomenal, filling portions at good prices. We tried the - Sesame Balls ($6.99) - always great. They could have had a bit more red bean paste inside. Simmered Chicken in Chili Oil ($9.99) - So yummy, and so much chicken. Loved the crunchy peanuts too. Beef in MalaTang Copper Pot ($16.99) - broth was the perfect level of tingly spice. Located in a plaza. We came for lunch and left stuffed. Polite staff. read more

Ten Seconds - Dry Rice Noodle 干拌米线, G1 Porkbone(Traditional) 原味（热锅） - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

THE BIG: Yunnan style noodles now in Austin! Slow simmering and flavorful. It's right off of Research blvd and burnet inside the Crossroads shopping center. Interior is small but mighty, plenty of seating. Plenty of parking in the lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I've frequented this spot multiple times and every time I enjoy it even more. The latest order I got from here was the popcorn chicken, porkbone noodle soup, kimchi noodle soup, fried pork dumpling. The pop corn chicken is alright. I always compare it to a taiwanese popcorn chicken and nothing ever stands up against that. The porkbone noodle soup is delicious however bland-ish. If you want more flavor, definitely grab a spicy or a kimchi stock to bump up the spice. THE FINAL BAMBOO: I spent around $50 for everything, which is an awesome amount. Flavors could be a bit stronger but overall, great meal and you wont be disappointed. read more

This is a fine noodle house but you have to obey one basic rule. Go straight, simple and middle of the road on the stock you choose. The rest will be lovely. * * * Ten Seconds is halfway between a hotpot restaurant and a noodle house. You cook the noodles in the broth for ten seconds. Then its dinner time. The huge plus on Ten Seconds is that the ingredients that you put in your soup pot taste fantastic. Beefy beef. Super flavorful vegetables. Great flavor accents. All the good stuff tends to fall to the bottom of the pot - including many of the ingredients with the strongest flavors. So the soup just gets better and better the longer you eat. Generally this would be the stuff of five star reviews. * * * But then there is the matter of the stock itself. My wife ordered a sour cabbage based stock. I went with mala spicy. Both stocks were disappointing. The sour was not particularly sour at all. The szechuan mala was pretty much only flavored with red chili powder. Red chili powder does not make for a particularly interesting or flavorful asian red soup. Ask any Korean cook about this. While Korean cooks use red chili powder in industrial quantities - they also add cherry paste - their famous and outstanding red chili flavored miso paste. Live peppers can enter the mix as well. Korean red stocks are to die for. Plain red pepper powder makes things irritating but does not add flavor. My wife could think of many Asian sour soups she likes better in Austin. I like the red soup in just about any Korean or Taiwanese restaurant better than the Ten Seconds version. * * * But those perfectly parboiled wonderful ingredients can make me forget the sins of the stock. As the soup goes farther and farther down, and I get more and more flavor ingredients, I become more and more inclined to grant an amnesty on the stock question. * * * Is this the perfect soup restaurant? No. Is it well worth doing? Yes. If you insist on having everything your way in everything in life, you will never hold down a marriage. Life is about compromise. Ordering plain stock is not the world's most onerous compromise. read more

Ten seconds immediately conjures zen...slate wall with a very powerful message with the history of "Crossing the Bridge Noodles " story. No spoiler alert...you have to come into the restaurant to read the story. I am not sure how they did it...it is scorching hot outside and some cool not cold inside...the absolute perfect temperature. Ten Seconds has an ordering kiosk where you can self-order or place your with the wait staff. We ordered the Shrimp tempura and fried pork dumplings. The Shrimp Tempura was 6 out 5. Definitely coming back for that one. Fried pork dumplings were good not great. Next time we will have to try a hot pot. No time today... read more

Noodles here are top notch! Came on a Friday evening and was seated immediately. Service and food comes out quick. Although they forgot about our kimchi soup the first time. The dry noodle with beef is excellent. Noodles are fresh and the peanuts add a nice crunch. I heard the spicy is really spicy so I got non-spicy with spice on the side. Shrimp tempura is very crispy and the seaweed salad is large and great too. Kimchi soup was my favorite because you can add all the fixings yourself. Over solid noodles! read more

Food: I got the G4 Crossing the Bridge noodle Mala flavor and it was delicious! The broth has the great mala spicy flavor without being too oily or overpowering. The special bowl that it comes in kept the broth warm for a good while! The only con would be that the noodle to other ingredients (eg mushroom, corn, egg, meat etc) ratio is low and I would've liked more of the other ingredients. Vibe: it's a small clean space with a warm bright lighting. There are a good amount of seats but I might not recommend for very large groups. Service: service was great and attentive! read more

We had an early dinner (5pm) on a Tuesday evening and we were able to be seated immediately! The menu was a little confusing. But the make your own noodles come with 5 slices of beef and you get to pick your own broth. The toppings all come out on a tray and you're able to put the ingredients in yourself. You can then order additional meats as toppings for an additional price. And this is where the name of ten seconds noodle house comes from, because the broth comes out bubbling and you only need to cook your noodles for 10 seconds! The copper pot noodles, you can also pick your own broth, but then you can also pick what type of meat you want. (And it comes with more meat.) All of the ingredients and toppings are also constructed in the kitchen with the chef, so you only get the final product. I got the copper pot rice noodles, with fish filet and mala broth. I was kind of afraid it would be too spicy, especially because I was gonna play pickleball after dinner. But that wasn't the case at all! I still ordered it because I had been craving some mala tang, and I was able to get through my whole meal and play pickleball just fine. The broth wasn't too salty or anything, and it came with a lot of tender fish. It hit the spot and I was so fill afterwards. I didn't even finish all of my noodles! I also tried some of my friends pork bone broth and it was also delicious! The pork flavor was super strong without being too salty or heavy. I wasn't the biggest fan of the noodles, but that's just a personal preference. It kind of just reminded me of spaghetti. I kinda wish they had customisable noodle options, but i know that kind of defeats the purpose of the whole 10 seconds concept. Anyways, the rest of the menu looked pretty good too, so I would definitely wanna try some of the appetizers next time! read more

Excited to finally try this Austin location after enjoying the Katy location one! Went for a Wednesday lunch at 11:45am and it filled up quickly once it hit noon. Food comes out quickly and hot so it was especially nice on a cool day. The spicy tofu was more of a fish tofu texture and not what I was expecting. A bit on the salty spicy side and would be great with plain rice, but a bit much as a standalone appetizer. Filling portions. Entree itself was great with the very hot bowl of steaming soup and noodles + toppings on the side you add in yourself to cook as you like. I got the pickled pepper tomato soup that wasn't that spicy considering it has 2 peppers indicated. Not sure if there was much tomato either. Service at the table was also nice and helpful. There's a cash register counter, but stuff had iPad and we just paid at the table. Overall atmosphere felt like it was going for a small traditional feel with the wooden furniture and full length mural on the story of the Crossing the Bridge Noodles. More of a 4.5/5.0. A solid place for a quick large bowl of hot noodles. Glad to have this option in town. read more

I'm definitely an outlier opinion because I didn't love Ten Seconds that much. There's another location in Houston that I've been to years ago, and I also remember it being just okay. I appreciate that Austin has some new Chinese options. Staff is super friendly, and they were even giving out nice mugs as a Chinese New Year celebration. My friend and I got the chicken appetizer and the condensed milk and fried buns combo. I'm a huge fan of condensed milk and fried buns, and it's typically a menu item only seen at hot pot places. It really hit the spot, and the buns were fried perfectly. I also enjoyed the cold chicken app. It was pretty spicy, and the peanuts were a great addition. I don't love the entrees or the rice noodles. That's just a personal preference because I prefer chewier noodles rather than super silky noodles. I also agree with another reviewer's thoughts that the broth is quite boring. It doesn't really make me want to keep eating it, and the toppings included are just okay as well. It's a pretty one-dimensional entree, so I only ate a few bites before I felt like I was full. read more

Ten Seconds - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

The strip mall that this restaurant located in is pretty underwhelming and honestly a bit janky but when you walk in the door you'll be greeted with a cozy well decorated modern restaurant with soft welcoming Chinese music. The menu can look confusing at first but feel free to ask the waiter because they are super nice. Basically 3 main choices to choose from: - Dry noodles - Noodle soup that is cooked for you - Personal hotpot like soup where you cook the ingredients yourself. Dry noodles with sliced beef (4/5) Don't let the name fool you. It's dry noodles but it's not that dry. It's quite saucy. A tad on the salty side. Noodle is really soft. This dish is simple but it's got good flavor but just a tad salty for me. I do wish there was a bit more veggies to complement the dish. Noodle soup pre cooked with beef stew meat (5/5) This bowl of noodles has so much going on there. They are really generous with the meat and ingredients. The beef stew is very soft and tastes like it's been cooked for a long time. The ingredients include things like cabbage, various meat, lettuce, ham, quail egg and some pickled cabbage. The flavor profile here is excellent and tasty with a slight hint of tanginess from the pickled cabbage. All this comes in a copper pot to keep this dish hot throughout the end. The food comes out lightning fast and service great. I'll come back to try the fish option next time! read more

This is a beautiful yet casual noodle bar. You can tell it's super authentic because they have their entire story written on the walls, which I find to be a classic Yunan, North-China touch. It's in a big plaza in north Austin so don't even worry about parking. The service on a Tuesday evening was pretty fast. I got the spicy mala rice noodle soup and it really hit the spot for me. This is the quinessential mala flavor. The rice noodles are super smooth, glossy, and filling. There were so many toppings, maybe too many haha: beef slices, lettuce, mushroom, tofu, corn, ham, etc. I would absolutely come back to try a pickled version or the hot pot version where you cook all the ingredients yourself. read more

Tried this spot to eat with friends and I came out feeling a bit confused. It's located in a mall right off Anderson Lane. The menu looks enticing with different noodles option. I got the original clay pot noodles. The noodle itself takes good, I like the texture. Soup was strong of bone flavor but bland at the same time. Strangest part was the ingredients they put in there - raw lettuce and spam meat ?! I dont think Chinese noodles ever have those but I'd be surprised to be proven wrong. The portion was decent for the price. We also got the fried popcorn chicken, it was alright- kinda bland as well. Service wad decent. read more

You know the restaurant is good when you can't stop thinking about their food. I ordered their green pepper traditional noodle pot and it was chef's kiss. It comes with a big bowl of (boiling) broth and a handful of various ingredients which you add to the bowl yourself. I chose their green pepper broth which is medium spicy. It has a hint of mala spice and is very flavorful. So tasty and would recommend! You can also ask them to adjust the spiciness if you prefer less spicy. The noodles go in last and is the perfect texture. I clean my bowl every time I come here! The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. Plenty of parking. read more

Wowowow! New Chinese place just opened up in Austin. There was a line outside, but it didn't take too long for us to get in. The noodle soup I got was so delicious! You can choose the broth and the meat that goes inside. Normally, you would get the ingredients separately to switch in the noodles for 10 seconds to cook but since they were busy, we had all of the ingredients inside already. Pork ribs taste great, I even ate the soft part of the bones hahah. The AC is not cold enough inside though. The warm noodles make it really hot inside. Portion is just right, I finished the whole bowl! I will come back for sure. Great noodle place! read more

Absolutely in love with this noodle place. Even though it's a chain, it blows my mind how consistent the flavor is -- no matter which location I go to, it always tastes the same (in the best way!). The rice noodles are perfectly cooked and don't leave that heavy feeling afterwards. The broth is super comforting, warm, and just so soothing... like a hug in a bowl. Plus, I love that there are so many toppings-- it feels like a full-on feast every time. I always take the leftover soup home -- it's too good to waste, and I love reusing it for another meal. Bonus meal, yay! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The vibe here is chill and warm -- perfect for a solo meal or coming with friends. You just feel good being here. Also... I'm a HUGE fan of their sesame balls, but this time I tried the fried pumpkin cake instead. Crispy on the outside, not-too-sweet red bean filling on the inside -- so addictive. I might be falling in love with this one too! read more

Came in on a chilly night for some hot soup and noodles. The food is authentic and good and the restaurant is nice and clean with interesting decor and Chinese pop music playing. Pretty much everyone else dining was Chinese so you know it's a good spot. The service was also really friendly. I liked the variety of the toppings that come with the noodles and presentation. We chose the traditional beef option which meant we put in the ingredients ourselves which was fun. I felt the original pork broth was a little mild in flavor and my partner's hot and sour broth was quite spicy so we ended up combining the two which made a perfect flavorful broth. We also had the simmered chicken which was quite sweet for my taste but fragrant. read more

Just as I was looking into restaurants with soup dishes for this cold weather, this placed popped up! I will say it's a good option for those who are not feeling the AYCE hot pot experience. I ordered the traditional hot pot set with 5 slices of beef in a pork broth and really enjoyed it. I also tried the mala broth and it was delicious with a mild kick. Both were seasoned well and came out boiling in a stone pot. The noodles were plentiful, but texture-wise, it didn't quite hit the spot for me. The smashed cucumbers were addicting. It was perfectly vinegary and so good. I probably ate maybe 70% of the whole thing by myself. We also ordered the brown sugar rice cakes, which I haven't yet seen in Austin. It was the right amount of sweetness, without being overpowering, and cooked well for a soft, pillowy texture. As expected with any new restaurant opening, there was a bit of a wait. I came on a weekday so it wasn't too bad. We were seated at the communal table, which felt incredibly tight and took away from the experience. I generally don't like dining that close to other customers and there wasn't enough room on the table for all our dishes without it spilling over into the next table. Overall, pretty solid choice for noodles. read more

The AC is def not strong enough, we felt relieved the moment we walked out of the restaurant since the outside weather feels cooler than inside the restaurant. read more

The place is clean and nicely decorated. I like that it feels kind of intimate, and they play Chinese music, which adds to the cozy atmosphere. I've visited three times now, and the food and service have been consistently great. The dishes come out quickly, and the soup is always piping hot. Here are some of my favorites: Brown Sugar Rice Cake (6 pieces) - $8.99 -- 5/5 A great dessert for sharing. We like it a little sweeter, so we asked for extra brown sugar syrup. Delicious! Homemade Dry Rice Noodle - $14.99 -- 4/5 I love the bouncy texture of the noodles. You can pick one protein, and it comes with cucumber, dried radish (adds a nice crunch), scallion, peanuts, and a homemade sauce. The first time I ordered it, it was a bit too salty for my taste. The second time, I asked for less sauce, and it was perfect. Rice Noodles with Beef Stew and Golden Hot & Sour Soup Base - $17.99 -- 5/5 The golden hot & sour soup base is so comforting--I'd say it's medium spicy with a mild tang. The beef stew is super tender and the portion is good. read more

Piping hot, unique, and generous bowl of noodles with numerous & unique garnishes. the sweet and sour broth was rich and pungent.

I really like the copper pot the soup was served in as well. They also offered a large wooden spoon and chopsticks making this meal very authentic.

The presentation of the food was beautiful! Definitely made me drag myself here after seeing many posts on Instagram and Facebook about this spot. I didn't love my golden broth so much, it tasted quite boring, flat and uninspired. The flavors failed to come together for some reason, leaving a one-dimensional taste that's mostly sour and salty. However, I'm glad I tried my brother's Mala broth. It was very flavorful, had the perfect smoky flavor and wasn't too overwhelmingly spicy or numbing, which I liked. I would definitely come back for the Mala broth and I'm usually not a fan of Mala. This place is perfect for those who prefer non-AYCE option. Very good service. My waiter was such a good salesman!

The service is great they are efficient and kind. We had dietary restrictions and couldn't eat meat so they were very transparent and helped us navigate the menu to pick the best options we went with a copper pot with a tomato base ( the only vegetarian one) smashed cucumbers and dry noodles with tofu. The tomato base was not the best but the fish and the noodles were perfection. They were able to customize it such that there was no meat in the pot. The dry noodles were absolutely delicious with a mild flavor. Would go back to try their great appetizer selection. Unfortunately since they make most broths with pork that limits our options. Otherwise great management clean place and friendly staff read more

The fried chicken is the Taiwanese chicken I've been looking for. Nice and hot, very light and crispy and the seasoning is really good. I wish the peanuts were a bit saltier but overall still good. I will definitely be returning here soon! read more

Ten Seconds - Fried chicken, chicken soup, fried peanuts, fried buns - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

This chain has finally made its way to Austin! Perfect on a cold night, Ten Seconds is all it takes for your food to basically cook through in the hot broth. It's like mini hotpot more or less. Some stone pot dishes come preassembled, but otherwise you can do it yourself. I got the pork rib one and the broth is rich and meat was tender enough. Add some chili oil on the side and you're good to go. It's hearty, warming and sort of healthy? Soul food is good for you right? As for sides, the popcorn chicken, smashed cucumbers and spicy beef tendon were all very good to share, especially the tendon. Would highly recommend some of the appetizers if you're in a group! Can get crowded, especially on the weekends, so try going off hours. read more
