Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle

We got the original pork broth with rice noodles (one with beef brisket). This was… a difficult meal to finish. There was plenty of broth, noodles, and side dishes. The soup was flavored well. This was basically like a hot pot but you drink the broth as well as eat the noodles. As someone unfamiliar with the concept, I’d liken it to a combination of hot pot + dipping ramen, or maybe a Chinese version of pho (I realize I offended a lot of people with that sentence). All in all, I wouldn’t come back but it does hit the spot on a cold rainy day in Bellevue.

The rice noodle was ok. I had better. The broth was a bit watery and could use more flavor. The brisket was not like slices of pho brisket but more like chinese braised brisket where it is very gelatinous/ tendon/ gristle and not "meaty". The toppings that came with it were ok. The only reason this place isn't 2 stars cause their other appetizer dishes were better. The popcorn chicken as in most places use a dark meat. It was nice and crunchy, coated with a numbing spice. The egg waffle had more crunch than happy lemon. If you like more chewy on the inside then this place is not for you. Water refills were hard to come by so service was not attentive. The timing of food was slow. It took 20- 25 minutes to get the popcorn chicken. I did see a batch of popcorn chicken come out at once. I suspect that fried multiple orders at once.You can order additional food by scanning the qr code on your table. The milk tea was pretty good for a restaurant. The milk tea is $4 which is decent ( one size ). Free wifi! Parking There is a parking lot shared with many restaurants nearby. Depending on the time and day parking could be hard to come by. I usually walk from Crossroads mall over to grab food in this area. They have two gender neutral bathrooms that were clean. I would come back for the appetizers and desserts. Not great for large groups since their tables mostly fit 4 people and the space of this place can't really 12 people next to each other easily.

Delicious! I ordered the chicken and cordycep flower soup, and my husband ordered the fish tomato soup 10 second noodles. The tomato soup was rich, a little sweet and sour, with large chunks of basa fish and lots of fun mix ins. The chicken soup was amazing- unctuous, sweet from the goji berries, with umami from the cordyceps (a type of mushroom). The chicken was a whole roasted leg, and the daikon was so well simmered it wasn’t even bitter anymore. I would definitely order it again. We arrived around 5 on a Friday night and were seated right away. Service was quick and efficient.

After 6 month meal prep for bodybuilding, having soup rice noodles like this is a blessing!!! Warm broth, variety of sides, snacks and appetizers, really comfort my poor stomach and saved my appetite. I love starches, fried pumpkin rice cake is always my favorite. We also ordered one original rice noodles, one beef brisket noodles, spicy and sour cucumber, and chicken gizzards. Two people share those yummy dishes are perfect, especially for a hungry person like me. Even though I didn’t eat a lot of noodles, but the way they put rice noodles is the way I prefer. Rice noodles were warm and set in a separate bowl. Just be extra caution ⚠️ the broth is hot, the bowl of soup is extremely hot as well. Don’t get burned.
