"A relative newcomer to South End’s dining scene, Yunnan Kitchen is a rare Boston restaurant focused on the Yunnan, or Dian, fare of southwest China. The Yunnan-style rice pancakes with condensed milk are compulsive, as are the sticky rice meatballs, fried pea jelly, and crispy mushrooms served with a chile powder dip. In 2023, chef and owner Yisha Siu was nominated for Best Chef: Northeast by the James Beard Foundation." - Matt Yan, Eater Staff
