"The team behind Brighton Yunnan rice noodle restaurant South of the Clouds expanded to the South End in 2022 with the debut of Yunnan Kitchen, a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The menu goes well beyond noodles here, with a far more expansive range of Yunnan, or Dian, fare including pea jelly salad (or fried pea jelly, either version of which is deeply satisfying), and bite-sized sticky rice meatballs garnished with goji berries. It quickly attracted critical acclaim: Head chef Yisha Siu snagged a James Beard nomination in 2023." - Nathan Tavares, Valerie Li Stack, Eater Staff
