"A unique Back Bay noodle shop that features a southwestern Chinese soup plans to expand downtown: Wen’s Yunnan Noodle & Ramen will open a second location soon within the space at 145 Tremont St., right across the street from Boston Common. Wen’s first opened in Back Bay in May of 2016, serving Yunnan-style rice noodle soup — hard to find around Boston — with plenty of choices for accompanying proteins (beef, chicken, pork, etc.) and toppings. The dish, which is often referred to as “crossing-the-bridge noodles,” is a 150-year-old tradition from the Yunnan province in China. In addition to the Yunnan noodles, Wen’s also serves four kinds of ramen: miso, shio, shoyu, and tonkotsu, with vegetarian versions of the miso and shoyu available as well. There are also rice dishes, gyoza, bubble tea, and more." - Dana Hatic
