As someone from Yunnan, I can attest that this place is absolutely the most authentic rice noodle place in the states.
The rice noodle is top notch. And the side dishes are also delicious.
Highly recommended.

Hands down the best Yunnan rice noodle in Bay Area. We ordered the signature cross bridge rice noodles, douhua rice noodle and ghost chicken. My wife grew up in Kunming, Yunnan and she confirmed all dishes are authentic. It was a very pleasant experience!
Cross bridge rice noodle - the soup is definitely made from scratch and not from pre-made condiments like many other Chinese restaurants. You can taste a pronounced umami flavor from the chicken, surrounded by another layer of creaminess from the pork bones in the soup base. The salt level is perfect. I never had soup base eve close to that in my 3yrs in the Bay Area.
Ghost chicken- a featured dish from the Dai ethnic group. Spicy, sour, umami, and sweet are perfectly balanced up to my taste. You cannot stop once you had the first bite. Might be too spicy for most people though.
Douhua (silken tofu?) rice noodles- A lot of picked mustard, which is great, provide a solid fragment flavor as the bases. The peanuts crumbs gave it another layer of nuttiness. Might be slightly too sour for me. But still delicious.
Btw, the owner told us that their rice noodles are all shipped from Kunming which had a more bouncy&crunchy texture then any rice noodles I’ve tried in US. And they are planning to make fresh rice noodles here. All in all, 5/5. I only wish they could open another one in the South Bay soon!
