Authentic Yunnan Rice Noodles
If you’re looking for a comforting and truly authentic noodle experience, Yunshang Rice Noodle should be high on your list. Specializing in Crossing the Bridge Noodles—a signature dish from Yunnan, China—Yunshang delivers a bowl that’s as much about flavour as it is about experience.
We’ve been regulars here for a while now, and what keeps us coming back is the consistency: steaming bowls of rich, slow-simmered broth, fresh ingredients, and some of the smoothest rice noodles you’ll ever have.
What Makes Yunshang Rice Noodle Special
Yunshang’s signature broth is simmered for over 12 hours, made with pork bones, chicken, and Yunnan ham. The result? A deep, rich, aromatic broth that’s naturally flavourful without the use of MSG.
Every bowl comes with 100% pure rice noodles, made with no additives—smooth, chewy, and satisfying. Plus, for dine-in guests, Yunshang offers unlimited rice noodle refills, so you can keep slurping until you’re full.
What We Ordered
We tried three varieties of their Crossing the Bridge Noodles, featuring both the original soup and their tomato soup bases.
Each bowl comes out in a piping-hot stone pot, still steaming when it arrives at your table. The heat is crucial—it keeps the soup hot enough to cook your ingredients as you add them in. Be careful not to touch the bowl, though—it’s seriously hot.
Each order includes 12 carefully selected ingredients—from thinly sliced meats and vegetables to ham and the cutest little quail egg—all meant to complement the delicate broth and fresh noodles.
The tomato soup is our personal favourite; rich, tangy, and hearty. We order it every time—it’s one of those flavours that sticks with you.
Since we love their tomato soup so much, we also tried the Tomato Rice Noodle Soup with Beef Slices and Enoki Mushrooms. Instead of a stone bowl, this one arrives as a ready-to-eat noodle soup—no extra assembling needed. The portions are generous, especially with the slices of beef and heaps of enoki mushrooms. It’s one of the most filling and satisfying noodle bowls you can get for the price, and it’s quickly become one of my go-to orders here.
