| Overview + Good broth options to choose from + Healthy and fresh ingredients + Waiter's positive vibe and professional customer service + Food was served fast + Beef tripe is so delicious + Welcoming ambiance and clean dining areas | Review Ten Seconds is a casual hot pot spot that specializes on soup sets with tasty and fresh ingredients. The quail egg was the heart of it. Got the bone broth this time. While the broth is good, it's not great to the point I'd crave for this. I'm honestly not a big fan of the rice noodles but they went well with the broth. My girl got the noodle dish with the beef tripe, and we also ordered beef tripe for appetizer and milky rice cake for dessert. The beef tripe is one of our favorite appetizers, and it's perfect with Japanese beer. The noodles are a bit spicy but the spice level was adjusted low to my girl's liking. The rice cakes were good but not the best we've tried. It's something we'd order again though. For 2 people, we ended up spending around $50, including tips, so reasonably priced but not as satisfying as a dim sum dinner. | Overall Score: | Overall Score: 4.1/5 read more

Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I learned about this restaurant through Instagram, and funny enough (or not surprising at all), the person who greeted me was the person in the post. The delicious smells wafting through the restaurant immediately let me know that I was in the right place. I ordered the Fatty Beef Szechuan Hotpot Yunnan Rice Noodle & Fried Dumplings. Both arrived in no time, and were piping hot on a cold winter's day. The fried dumplings were crispy, not at all greasy, and filled with very flavorful filling, coupled with a perfectly paired dipping sauce. The hotpot... oh, the hotpot, was filled with pillowy fried tofu, fatty and tender beef, cabbage, wood ear mushroom shreds, seaweed, bean sprouts, and a ton of noodles. All of this was swimming in some of the most amazing Szechuan peppercorn broth that was spicy, but not numbing and not overpowering. It was the perfect broth to wrap each ingredient in flavor. After I finished all of the delicious beef and veggies, I went for the noodles. I never really new what "bouncy" meant when describing noodles until today. They were truly bouncy in with every bite, silky smooth, tender but with a little bit of bite to them. I ate every morsel that I could fit in my stomach and not explode... this was the perfect winter dish for this South Florida eater. read more

This is my absolute favorite noodle spot. We've been twice and the quality has been high both times. Tried a bubble tea last time and it was great--lots of variety and add ons. Offer rice bowls, ramen, and alternatives. Fast service and chill ambiance. Great place to split some dishes too! read more

This was a nice "fast food twist" on a hot-pot experience. I will start with the food being delicious (homemade chili oil anyone?) and the service being very attentive. Overall a good experience. We didn't love the limited selection, and wished the soups were on a table burner so we could keep them hot and cooking ingredients. But for less than 1/2 the cost of local hot-pot it was still a great value. We will be back. read more

I met my son at this restaurant on August 11, 2025 as part of my birthday week celebration. We visited this restaurant in the evening time so there were not a lot of customers at that time. We were greeted with professionalism and seated right away. There were several items ordered from the menu. Our server was very helpful in answering our questions when we were deciding on what to order. She provided some useful insights. All items ordered came out within a short period of time. They did an awesome job with their delivery of the food and drinks. We started with some drinks. The cold mango lemon tea was uniquely refreshing. It was a creative blend of flavors in my mouth. I enjoyed it very much. I had the Edamame which was good but needed a little bit more salt. The popcorn chicken had an interesting flavor. It was nice and crispy and tasted like it had a little bit of a cinnamon or aromatic flavor to it. The green pepper fish dish was an acquired taste for me. It was very aromatic and had a unique earthy hearty flavor with a kick of spice to it. The more I ate, the more it grew on me. I enjoyed the Fried Mini Milk Bun. The texture and flavor reminded me of the Caribbean Journey Cakes. My son was very excited about the authentic dishes that he ordered. He enjoyed them and was captivated by the flavors of each dish. The portion size was just right. We had a comfortable and fascinating visit at this restaurant. There were quite a few dishes new to us that we had the opportunity to try. It was a bit of an educational experience for me. I gained some insight on some of the traditional and modified type of Chinese cuisine. We left feeling full and satisfied. read more

We gave this place a second chance, still no go. We ordered beef noodle soups, the broth doesn't have much favorite, beef tasted awful( tasted freeze burnt ? ), braised pork rice was not so good either. read more

Service was fast and friendly! I got the braised pork rice, and while it was pretty solid, I think the price of my dish didn't really match the quality of what I was getting though, which is why I wouldn't rate it as highly. read more

Haiku: Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle Build-your-own soup bowl Yunnan Cross Bridge Dining Style Unique dining spot. --- I ordered the Signature Rice Noodle Bowl in the No. 1 Original Pork Bone soup and Fish Fillet with the standard fixings (corn, wood ear mushroom, ham, meat paste, chives, pickled cabbage, quail egg, fish cake, tofu puff, lettuce, noodles). I enjoyed the soup flavor and textures of all the ingredients.

Have been wanting to come here for a while. You can get a personal hot pot here that comes in a hot stone bowl. You can get all the raw materials (veggies, meat, etc.) on the side or in the bowl. The broth was good and flavor was good. We got a lot of attention from staff who came every couple of min to check how it tasted and tell us to put things into the bowl. It did err on the side of too much attention for me, but I appreciate the care. Ambience was nice inside - it's a wide open space with plenty of light and seating isn't too cramped. read more

If you're really yearning for soup during these colder times, consider checking out this noodle soup location in Cary, North Carolina. The ideas that you have hot flavorful soup broth that cooks ( for 10 seconds) all your ingredients. Reminds me of hot pot but at the individual level. The soup is delicious the sip and complements all the additions. The service is great and they bring all ingredients tableside and will replenish soup if you need it ( I think) . Casual atmosphere so easy to eat with groups and friends or by yourself. #soup #ricenoodles read more

Had a lot of fun here with the wide variety of dishes to pick from. The menu can be a little intimidating at first, but honestly, just look at pictures and go with whatever you think will be good. Personally, I liked the dry noodle dishes better, but that's just because I'm not a huge broth person. The noodles were great, they are all very "slurpable", and it was kind of fun to experience the cartoon-like feeling of slurping noodles and have them glide. Really cool place, would recommend to try it out! read more

Decent office lunch option if you're in the area. However, it seems they only have one type of rice noodle and it isn't anything special. Pork bone broth is good but a little underseasoned. The spicy and hot & sour broths are also pretty good. The weakest is the tomato-based option, which has a canned soup vibe. Meat is not high quality. Flavor just not worth getting this dehydrated over when you could eat at the far superior Miso Ramen in the same strip mall. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant and we instantly fell in love with the cuisine and the robustness and flavor of the soup and noodles. I normally prefer buckwheat noodles that come with ramen but this human noodle dish comes as a very close second! The drinks were delicious and refreshing! The service was attentive and patient as I asked for more clarification on our order. The food was delivered so quickly it was really surprising. The chicken appetizer was just as tasty. The ambiance was that of a typical strip mall restaurant but the white interior made it look airy and spacious. Overall, I give this restaurant an A- (five stars)! read more

A hidden gem, this location is cutely tucked in a corner. It's clean and bright the food is good , the menu is plentiful. We got drinks fruit tea and coffee specials thru were niceee. We had several food trays and they were really good . A nice date place or girls outting with friends . read more

Can't go wrong with the noodles here. There will always be a soup base you will like. The noodles bouncy and if it's your first time get the full set with everything separated so you can get the full experience. Don't skip the fried milk. Don't knock it till you try it. read more

Atmosphere: Ten Seconds is rather unassuming on the outside, but surprisingly spacious on the inside. The restaurant was bright and clean. Service: As it was our first time at Ten Seconds, the server kindly explained the menu to us and recommended a couple of their most popular items. Our food came out in a timely manner after we ordered. Once served, if you order the signature rice noodles, you can cook all of the ingredients on your own in your hot pot. Food: We ordered the Signature Rice Noodles with the Original Pork Bone Broth and the Spicy Szechuan Mala Broth. Both of the broths were super flavorful and savory! Each serving comes with 10 sides, noodles, and your choice of protein. We decided to get an extra serving of fish as well. The fatty beef and fish were good, and there was a nice variety of sides that you'd expect at hot pot (though it would be nice to pick and choose from more options). For dessert, we tried the Crispy Fried Milk, which was delicious! It went well with the side of sweet condensed milk. Overall: Ten Seconds was a fun time! The price was pretty decent for the serving, and the broths were flavorful (and spicy for the szechuan broth). We'd come back again if we are craving something like hotpot but not wanting to stuff ourselves or spend more at an AYCE hotpot place. read more

Finally we have a cross bridge noodle place in the Triangle area!! We tried two soup bases, the Szechuan spicy (so good with beef) and pickled pepper, and both were balanced and flavorful. The side dishes were fresh and versatile, complementing our noodles perfectly. It overall has a generous portion size for the price. The service was exceptionally fast and attentive. Also we were pleasantly surprised by how yummy their drinks were! Overall, a must visit for noodle lovers!! read more

Food is good . I like their beef noodle soup and other Yunnan noodle soup. I had ten seconds yunnan soup in Cary North Carolina, but many other cities and states also have the same restaurants, such as East Hanover, East Brunswick in New Jersey, Flushing, Brooklyn, Elmhurst, ... in New York. read more

We used our GPS software to navigate to a restaurant that was no longer there. Instead, we found Ten Seconds Yunman Rice Noodle in its place so we decided to check it out. They have been open for around 9 months at the time of this review. Our party of 5 ordered two of the signature rice noodle bowls: one with kimchi broth and fish fillets; the other with pork bone broth and fatty beef. Both were delicious and I especially enjoyed the kimchi broth which has a wonderful combination of heat and flavor. Would definitely order that again. We also ordered a chicken rice noodle bowl and a mushroom rice noodle bowl. The mushroom rice noodle bowl was devoured immediately and the chicken rice noodle bowl was delicious but ultimately needed a to-go container. We also shared dumplings, and popcorn chicken. I wasn't impressed with the popcorn chicken but it is nice to have variety on the menu when dining with kids. read more

We came here for the rice noodles... BUT, I've never had fried milk before! If you don't know, skip the rest of this review and drive here now. So, I got the kimchi beef noodles and it was just right. It wasn't too spicy and you could taste the kimchi with out feeing watered down. I would get it again but I'm really looking forward to their sour noodle soups. The sliced pigs ear is probably the best I've had in the area. Its not cold and and you don't have to work too hard to chew it. I'm so glad we finally have a good rice noodle restaurant in this area. read more

I came here late at night about an hour before closing and they didn't rush us at all! The service was prompt and quick. I heard that this was a chain but it was so good! I was so pleasantly surprised by how fast the food came out and how tasty it was. My husband and I both ordered a signature rice noodle soup where you select the type of broth and protein you want. I had the Golden broth and my husband went for the Szechuan. He loves spicy so it was perfect for him. We both got fatty beef for protein. The broth comes with everything on the side for you to add in. The first thing you add is the little quail egg and your protein. Then all of the veggies and your noodles. By the time you finish adding everything in your broth will settle to the perfect eating temperature. I was skeptical about the egg, thinking it would be hard by the time I ate it, but it was still decently runny inside. The portion is large and I was very full by the end. If you're looking for hot pot vibes but don't want to invest the time or money, this is such a great alternative! I am so happy to have this near us! read more

Got take out so can't say how the service and ambience was. The food was delicious. The bone broth was flavorful. I liked the takeout bowl where the noodle is kept separately from the broth. I did not like the beef stew as there were too much tendon or cartilage for me. The fish was delicious in the broth. Only thing I would recommend is adding more vegetables. The only veggies were a couple pieces of lettuce and pickled mustard green. I am excited to come back and eat here! read more

Food was fast, servers were helpful, food was interactive, fun, and out of this world. I will be back! read more

Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle - Szechuan Mala Signature Rice Noodles #4 - Noodles Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

We've had Ten Seconds Noodle Shop in other cities before so when we heard it was coming here, we were very excited and just had to try it during their soft opening. I ordered the spicy beef brisket rice noodle and the entree was absolutely amazing. My wife was looking for a lighter fare and ordered the collagen chicken soup with rice noodles and she said it was exactly what she was expecting. The only problem was, what do we order for our young kids? I didn't want to serve our two year old a bowl of hot soup, so we opted for a couple of appetizers and shared some contents of my wife's soup as well. Hopefully they can introduce something such as cold rice noodles, fried rice, or some kid friendly options to their menu. Otherwise it was excellent and I'll definitely be back! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This tastes just like the chain in China. I've been craving authentic yunnan rice noodles forever and so excited to finally have something so delicious that's easy to drive to. You can't go wrong with making your own or the preset rice noodles. The appetizers are also perfect, especially the friend buns with milk. Can't wait to go back again. read more

I love the sour spicy broth! It is more flavorful than the regular spicy. The portion size is filling. The sides look small but when put altogether, it is filling. Their service is very quick. They have some sides like a deep fried mochi that was quite good. We also ordered pig ear, which had a good texture. read more

What I loved: 1. The atmosphere! Packed with people chatting over a meal... I would go back for this alone. 2. The service. My first time they had to work out the kinks but the second time was fast and the wait staff were really nice. What I disliked: 1. I blame myself for this but I apparently didn't put the raw food in in time for it to cook thoroughly (cue food poisoning later on). The pot stays bubbling a good minute but yikes, please don't miss that window when you eat here. 2. The flavors were good but somehow a bit one-note, despite getting two separate types of noodle orders. Overall, the location and people are fantastic. read more

Quite a great FIND!! Excellent, NYC CHinatown quality fresh noodles, hand-made fresh several times a day. Can get busy, but the service is excellent and you will not have to wait very long. I especially recommend their "Chicken Collagen Bone Broth"Noodle soup, with hearty portions of sliced chicken thigh, a rich, nutritious broth, and those wonderful fresh noodles!! Definitely will be back for more! read more

We just ate here for the first time and will definitely be back! So delicious! And the service was kind, attentive, and fast. We had the chicken satay, mini buns, and beef noodle in pork bone broth. My boys loved it and ate everything. We were all fans of the broth. I had a Thai iced tea - I asked for it to be not very sweet and it was still a bit sweet - though definitely good. So if you don't like overly sweet things, I'd modify the Thai iced tea order to ensure the sweetness is at the right level. I'm so glad we have this place in Cary and look forward to next time! read more

Amazinggg!! Not many places that my 1yo, 7yo, 12y/o & MYSELF can all agree upon but this place is amazing!!!!!! Edamame was great (different than every place I've had it). The FRESH RICE NOODLES & broth with depth and the perfect spice! I had the **Szechuan Mala** w beef & fish- the fish was soooo tender! My daughters had the *chicken* and the *golden hot and sour* (which is listed as less spicy than the Mala, but it's def MORE spicy which was fine because we like that.) & for just $2 more you can get another order of noodles, so we took a TON of leftover broth & meat home. We will be back many times this winter- Guaranteed! read more
