My friend brought me to try this noodle place. The decor is very basic. Staff is friendly. My friend recommended the rice noodle with spicy meat sauce and add the crispy intestine. Flavor is good. And the intestine is crispy with good flavor. It doesn't have weird taste. Overall, the taste is legit. And the price is very reasonable. The waitress told us to order the rice noodle with spicy meat sauce and then add crispy intestine is $2 cheaper than ordering the rice noodle with crispy meat sauce (intestine one) and add the spicy meat sauce. read more

I had a pleasant experience dining here this evening, the staff was really friendly and helpful when explaining the menu items to me. I got the rice cake beef stew today which came out quick, was tasty, and the portion was huge! It was only $9.50 which I really think is a great price for the taste and size. It was really chilly out today so this was a good way to warm up. read more

The hope and sour sweet potato noodles is my absolute GO TO ORDER!!! It comes with minced pork too. The noodles are bouncy and chewy. The broth is perfect for the noodles. Another delicious item is the dumplings in hot and sour sauce. The meat inside he dumplings are super well seasoned and the sourness is perfect!!!!! read more

Had a lovely and affordable lunch here As others have mentioned, the "Rice noodles with crispy meat sauce" come with a topping of thinly sliced pork intestines. I have never tried this before but was surprised to actually enjoy it. They were surprisingly tender, I think this preparation of the intestines sliced so thinly makes it more palatable to someone who is trying this for the first time. It has a second topping also of crispy pork bits which provided a nice textural contrast. The broth is rich with a shimmering layer of fat on top and the noodles are soft and slippery, carrying much of the savory flavor from the soup. The cucumber salad is well balanced and refreshing. The waitstaff is friendly and speaks English well, they were able to answer any of my questions about the menu and make recommendations. This is a great place for a quick meal. read more

Yun Nan Flavor Garden - Rice Noodle with Crispy Meat Sauce, Cucumber Salad - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Absolutely amazing takeout. The people who work here are super nice and remember their regulars. It's a quaint noodle house with room to eat and definitely family owned vibes. The flavor of the soup in the rice noodle bowls are so flavorful and especially the hot and sour soup with the dumplings (which were my favorite dish!) For the rice noodle bowls we got the lamb and the ground beef one. I really enjoy the lamb since I love a good stewed lamb. It's definitely not as tender as you think it is but it's super flavorful and yummy. The texture of the rice noodle is so refreshing and nice to bite. I definitely will be back and cannot recommend this more! The bowls are extremely large portion and worth my money! read more

The prices have updated to reflect inflation in recent years, but the quality has not changed at all. The dishes are all still super affordable, the service is still quick, and the food is still a steal. Go for the Cold Noodle, Dumplings in Hot and Sour Soup, and the Cucumber Salad, for sure! read more

Delicious noodles and cheap eats in sunset park. We tried both their classic soup noodle as well as the dry noodles. We also got the wonton soup as well. It's perfect on a cold rainy day. I personally prefer the dry noodle better. Warning : the portion sizes are huge! read more

Another hidden spot on the 8th Ave. The inside is clean and spacious. #11 crispy pork noodle is featured on a paper you must try! The dish is pretty authentic and cheap but great. Oh you definitely ask to make it spicy if you like. They can speak English you can ask the questions they are very nice! Also is comes with some cilantros which I love! The traditional rice noodle is like a soft spaghetti. Would love to try the regular noodle or other meal! read more

When I came in, I placed my order. The chief apparently disappeared during that time of day and the server said I'll call him to come back.

Yun Nan Flavor Garden - Rice Noodle Soup, Spicy Meat - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a cozy little restaurant my bf took me to on Tuesday. Honestly to say when you go inside you think the food wouldn't be up to par but trust me it's worth it coming here. The owner made us some soup made from scratch with his best selling cucumber with chili oil. He was very sweet and the food was amazing. The broth was fresh with fish, beef, cilantro and green onion and paired really well with the cucumber since that was cold. Service was great and Definitely will be a favorite in Chinatown Brooklyn. Will come back :) read more

I have been hankering for good Yunnan rice noodle for months, and this hole-in-the-wall noodle spot finally indulged my cravings. They really need to hire a better person to translate their menu into English properly... #9 Rice Noodle w/ Lu Mein 滷米線 $8.25 The first one is dry noodle with braised pork and cilantro, and it was right up my alley with its flavorful sauce. Few months ago you def won't catch me eating cilantro, but now I have higher acceptance of its pungent taste. I added some chilli oil yet it wasn't spicy enough and only gave a slight numbing sensation. #11 Rice Noodle w/ Crispy Meat Sauce 脆腸米線 $8.75 The second bowl is rice noodle soup with crispy pork intestine. I don't eat intestines, but my company had high praise on them, saying they were clean and crispy. Their rice noodles were perfectly cooked and carried a bouncy texture. We were surprised that we didn't feel thirsty after slurping the entire bowl, which means their rice noodles weren't salty and didn't have MSG. read more

Traveled over 1.5 hours to check this spot out and was not disappointed. Got both their lamb and beef crossing the bridge noodles which were so fresh and abundantly flavorful. Was too full to try their dumplings but will have to next time as they also looked so good! The place was packed when we came despite it being a pretty late lunch. The entire time we were there, there was a revolving line of people coming in, waiting to be seated, getting takeout, so you know this place is happening!!! The noodles took maybe 15 or so min to prep given the place was so busy. They give you all the ingredients to mix in separately (meat, veggies, noodle, etc.). The soup then came in a piping hot bowl with waiters bringing them out using rubber gloves. I think you're supposed to add the ingredients in yourself but we looked confused so someone came and helped us - for future reference you add all the meats and veggies and mix and then quickly add in the noodles. Everything was so flavorful and had a strong white pepper flavor. If you're not a fan of pepper maybe get a different noodle but I loved it. Reminded me a bit of pho but I loved it way more (and learned Yunan is near Vietnam haha). It's definitely got hole-in-the-wall vibes and is a no frills spot but they care a lot about their food and it definitely shows. Love love this spot and will definitely be back! read more

On a rare occasion we decided to explore the original Brooklyn Chinatown in Sunset Park despite the horrific BQE congestion. After traversing the entire length of 8th Ave within the Chinatown, we ended up here for a light meal. Yunnan is a province in southern China, bordering the Southeast Asian countries. So it's no surprise that its signature noodle dishes are reminiscent of Vietnamese pho. Yep, that's my impression anyway after trying their menu item #1, Crossing The Bridge Rice Noodle $12. It's like pho, the broth is clear but more gingery, the rice noodle is round - not flat, the proteins shredded instead of whole slices. The takeout version came with 2 separate big containers of broth one of which is a souped up chicken broth. I found it quite odd but Not complaining. I think I was supposed to mix them into the same bowl, but I simply dunk rice noodle into one and never get to the second broth as I'd finished the rice noodle. I ended up drinking the second broth on my next meal. Both broth were beyond delicious. The proteins were way too little however. The rice noodle had a unique and intriguing texture. My family also tried #3 - the beef & lamb version of #1 for $2 more, #5 - Rice Noodle with Beef Stew $8.50, and #14 Noodle with Lamb Stew $9.25. They were good. From what I gathered, I would recommend the latter 2 even though they are not their signature soups. They came with noticeably more protein and thus much better value. read more

A very solid spot with great value for the amount of food you get. The rice noodles had an amazingly bouncy texture, which was a highlight. The broth and meat were decent--not mind-blowing, but satisfying. The pig ears, tongue, ox sinews, and tendon were served with a wonderfully fragrant mala sauce that really stood out. If you decide to try the crossing-the-bridge noodles, I'd recommend sticking with a single meat option--the dual meat upgrade didn't feel worth the extra five dollars for just a few additional pieces. read more

The ingredients come on a plate - a quail egg, slices of pork, 4 pieces of black chicken, bean sprouts and dried tofu skins. The cooked noodles are served in a bowl. Then a large bowl of piping hot broth follows. The ingredients are put into the broth bowl. Once the meat is cooked to your liking, then you are ready to eat. It's like eating a bowl of hot pot. read more

Yunnan Flavour Garden provides local Yun nan noodles. I was curious about cuisine from that part of China which is why I stopped by. Service was nice - the waitress helped prepare my huge bowl of crossing the bridge noodles (with lamb meat and beef) - swiping down the meat, egg, noodles, and garnish down into the piping hot bowl of soup. They bring the soup out super hot so be careful not to burn your tongue or fingers. Portion-wise, it is a lot of food. Tastewise, it felt a little underwhelming mainly due to the overwhelming pepper taste from the soup. The thinly sliced meat cooked fast in the broth and is reminiscent of hot pot meat - but I would much prefer hot pot for this type of meat than how it tasted in my noodles. read more

Came here to check it out since we wanted some soupy noodles. Old, worn out, but spacious restaurant that needs an update in tables and servewares. No one asked or check vaccination. No sanitzer available. Our table was scratched out and our bowls were so old it had marks all over the rim. No water/tea is offered and they didn't even ask if we wanted any beverage. There is a beverage cooler of sodas and other soft beverages that you can just take. Food was good though. Hubby got crossing bridge and that broth was amazing. I even enjoyed the black pepper in the broth. I ordered a basic beef noodle soup which made me regret not getting the crossing bridge noodles. Lots of cilantro in both of our soup. With the reviews warning us of staff coming out with the pipping hot bowl wearing rubber gloves- we were prepared. As soon as he put the bowl infront of hubby, I grab the spoon & told hubby to start putting all the stuff inside. It was good but unsure we'll visit anytime soon. Bathroom is unisex with weak hand dryer. As I walk to the restroom to wash my hands before my food come, some guy came up behind me to stop me... asking if he can go first. I thought it was odd but allow him as he was an older gentleman (looks like my dad's age) and probably really needed to go. read more

Nothing fancy about this place but a big bowl of noodles for $14 is a pretty good deal for Chinatown, Brooklyn. I ordered: Cross the Bridge Rice Noodles and my friend got the same version but with short rib. We took our time eating it since it was freezing weather that day and there weren't many people at the restaurant. It's a few tables inside and it's one of those places where you pop in to eat and you pop out. I would like to come back and try other soup noodle dishes on the menu next time. read more

I came here for lunch with my brother and I did not leave disappointed! I tried their Crossing The Bridge Rice Noodles and was astonished by its taste. The dish itself was assembled in front of me by the staff. It came with a plate full of chopped cilantro and scallions, some quail eggs, various slices of protein (fish, beef, and lamb), and tofu skins. The broth was incredibly hearty and had a nice hint of Chinese peppercorn. The noodles had a nice chewy consistency and were able to pick up the broth's flavor. The portion was quite generous for the price. The restaurant interior looks like a low-key noodle joint with a nice chandelier; however, this restaurant definitely deserves more foot traffic because of their delicious noodles! I would definitely come back again and order their Crossing the Bridge Noodles. If you're in the area and craving some noodle soup, I highly recommend this place! read more

I used to eat here a lot and loved their spicy lamb rice noodles. Portion size is fair and it tasted great. The broth is the essence of the dish and they do a great job with the spices to make it numbing and spicy. I normally do not enjoy spicy broth but this is an exception. The lamb is braised well and slides right off the bones. I stopped coming here after I saw that they got a C on their food inspection. It's actually really hard to get a C (the kitchen/restaurant has to fail a lot of items) so it was concerning that Yun Nan had a C. I never had diarrhea or any problems after eating here but knowing that grade makes me uncomfortable. I hope they can address all the issues and get a better grade next year. read more

We found this place while planning a Chinatown Food Crawl in Brooklyn (basically just along 8th Ave), and LOVED Yun Nan Flavor Garden. The Crossing the Bridge Noodles and the Hot and Sour Dumplings in Soup are MUST orders. Crossing the Bridge #3 with Lamb and Beef came in a HUGE bowl and we split across multiple people. It was a huge hit - everyone loved it. The broth was similar to pho, but had noodles like bun bo hue. The dish was very unique though, and I would honestly travel my 1+ hour commute to just come and get these again. The dumplings were amazing as well, spicy but nourishing. I mixed some of the spicy broth with the Crossing the Bridge broth and it was all so delicious. Definitely check this place out! read more

I've been coming here since their noodles were $7 and now it's $9.50 :'( but I still think it's worth every penny. The lamb noodles are my favorite. It's got the perfect spice level to give me a kick but not enough to kill me. The noodles are always the perfect chewiness. This place is definitely not known for its service and the one time I dined in I didn't get water and I got ignored mostly. However, it's great for takeout and they're quick to prepare. When they're not busy I've gotten my order in less than 5 mins lol. read more

Must have missed the memo, I didn't find this place very good. After having crossing the bridge style at Yunshang Rice Noodle House several times, I decided to try having it from a local vendor this time around. I got the Crossing The Bridge Rice Noodles with Fillet ($14) which also came with chicken! A plate of uncooked chicken pieces, fillet, raw egg, and some veggies are presented first. It is then followed by the boiling hot broth with a small tray of black chicken bits. The lady actually placed the raw ingredients inside for me, so my princess syndrome sure enjoyed that! The soup, was unfortunately, not my style. It was incredibly oily and had a strong peppercorn taste. I felt super unhealthy even drinking a sip of the broth. Honestly, the huge bowl of broth was all there was to it to justify for the price. The rice noodles were alright. Their refusal to stay on my chopsticks stood out to me more thanks to their bounciness. The fillet was hard to taste with the strong peppery flavor. No bev is given, even water, unless you pay extra. Service was great, but I wouldn't come again. read more

Yun Nan Flavor Garden - Spicy meat sauce with rice noodle #8 - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Doesn't get as authentic and delicious as Yunnan Flavor Garden. This hole in the wall joint serves Yunnan style rice noodles, and one of the first restaurants in NY to serve it "crossing the bridge" style. I've had the original crossing bridge noodles in many restaurants in Kunming, Yunnan, and in terms of the flavor and presentation of food this is the closest you can get in the Western Hemisphere. Hole in the wall joint - not going to get tacky decor, or fanciful decoration. That's all fluff - making you only focus on the food, and boy was the food out of the world. Highlights - Crossing bridge noodles ($10-$12 depending on which one). As authentic as it gets, comes serve with plates of raw vegetables and sliced meats, and the chef comes out bringing you a piping hot bowl of soup. You dump your meats and veggies and quail egg inside, cooking it like hot pot style before putting the rice noodles last. The key to a good crossing bridge noodle is the broth, and that broth packed SO much flavors. I can tell the grandpa chef who made the soup spent hours perfecting the broth, as it was so hearty and flavorful. The noodles instantly were able to absorb all those flavors making each bite delectable and a great experience. Honestly, I'll travel here any day just to get their cross bridge noodles. Enough of the inauthentic crap in Manhattan from Deng Ji or Shimiaodao, this place sets the bar up high! read more

Yun Nan Flavor Garden - Crossing bridge noodles - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a Yunnan rice noodle shop that specializes in crossing the bridge noodles (a Yunnan delicacy). The crossing the bridge noodles are served with raw meat that's cooked in the piping hot broth that comes to your table. If that's not your thing, you also can't go wrong with any of the other rice noodles dishes on the menu. Most are noodle soups but there are a couple of brothless noodles that are perfect for summer. Prices are very low (most noodle dishes are sub-$10) but they're cash only so come prepared. read more

This place is a must visit! It is super delicious and cheap. I have tried their Cold Rice Noodle & Rice Noodle with Spicy Meat Sauce. Both were delicious & I preferred the Cold Rice Noodle. It had ground meat, cilantro, roasted peanuts, w/ sweet sour vinegar broth. It was so tasty & refreshing at the same time. The Rice Noodle w/ spicy meat sauce was tasty but it was not as outstanding as the cold rice noodle. The rice noodle was soft, al dente & it had ground meat (did not taste spicy at all) w/ a clear broth that was very light in flavor. I had to add more chilli oil to make it taste even better. Staff was very nice, and some of the staff spoke English (besides Mandarin) so it helped a lot. Highly recommended! The items are huge, so for the price it was worth it. read more

Amazing hot and sour dumplings and cold rice noodles. Best I've ever had! Staff is always very friendly and service is quick.

I have been going here for years and usually get the beef stew with rice noodles. The rice noodles is still really good for the price. The noodles are so silky smooth with the hot broth. However, I notice the broth being extremely salty on the last few occasions. Service is simple, just set down at the table. When I used to dine-in, we didn't need to give tips as it is optional and posted on the wall. Go for the food not the ambiance as there is none, just table, chairs and walls. read more
