Ten Seconds Noodle House

First time here and I would give an overall of 4.5/5. It's flavored but not too salty or strong. The sticky rice dessert was delicious as well and the fried tofu. We did not get the popcorn chicken but it looked good as most tables ordered that. People work there were very friendly and gentle.

Affordable and delicious. I love the hot pot concept (it’s actually called Crossing the Bridge noodles - there’s a heartwarming story on the wall of the restaurant on where the name comes from). I got the Kim chi broth which was really balanced - not too sour or spicy. Hubby got dry noodles which were good but it got too monotonous. I liked the Crossing Bridge noodles better because of the variety of things you can put in. I love that there was chili oil already on the table. I think the appetizers are slightly expensive - we got smashed cucumber for $8. I also love the rewards program. You can redeem for free food! Overall, I can’t wait to go back and bring friends and family!

Came in late and Umi greeted us kindly and welcomed us in :) Great experience dining here, affordable with great portion sizes compared to other places. Been here twice and ordered the Guo Xiao Mi Cian (traditional hot pot style rice noodle). Both times the broth and quality of food was amazing!!! Really loved the pickled pepper soup (my personal favorite) and green pepper soup, both delicious and HUGE portion sizes. Umi was very sweet, attentive, and gave us recommendations for next time. Will definitely recommend if you like hotpot style or broth related dishes!!!!

This was my first visit to this location. The food quality is high and consistent with other Houston branches. I tried the Chasiu ramen today, and the soup base was rich and flavorful. The fried chicken side dish was tasty but could benefit from additional seasoning.

Got the copper pot with mala spicy and stewed beef. The service is great and the staff was excellent as well. Pork products usually make me sick and I had requested for them to take the ham and the meat paste out. They later informed me that the broth also had pork in it and was kind enough to switch it out for the vegetarian broth and make it spicy for me. You can't be that kind of service. The food was excellent and will most definitely be going back to try more of the dishes.

Excellent service and they have 2 vegetarian broth options! My had lots of ingredients, esp fresh (no sour after taste when not fresh like some other restaurants!) tofu cubes, enoki and regular mushrooms and no thirst after because no MSG! Wife had the G1 Traditional and they made sure not spicy for her too! Ingredients prepared with care and well presented. Owner came to make sure we were well taken care of and from same part of the world! Loved the roasted peanuts too! Again fresh, oil not stale like other places and full bowl! I finished it all! Forgot to take picture of peanuts. Bathroom soap and paper towels dispenser contactless and fully stocked! Well done, in this day and age of shrinkflation, no less, to make sure fundamentals are good and solid.

So pleasantly surprised how good this little place was! It is getting added to my casual great places to eat rotation as a local! Pork broth was so good! I did beef hot pot added tendon on the side. I will be back to try other things but it will be me ordering the same thing for a few times :-)

Quite crowded on Saturday lunch hour for about 15mins wait. The original pork bone soup is great as compared to mala soup. Texture of rice noodle is in between tender and springy and never get too soft even after soaking for a while, it's quite good.

Absolutely in love with this noodle place. Even though it's a chain, it blows my mind how consistent the flavor is -- no matter which location I go to, it always tastes the same (in the best way!). The rice noodles are perfectly cooked and don't leave that heavy feeling afterwards. The broth is super comforting, warm, and just so soothing... like a hug in a bowl. Plus, I love that there are so many toppings-- it feels like a full-on feast every time. I always take the leftover soup home -- it's too good to waste, and I love reusing it for another meal. Bonus meal, yay! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The vibe here is chill and warm -- perfect for a solo meal or coming with friends. You just feel good being here. Also... I'm a HUGE fan of their sesame balls, but this time I tried the fried pumpkin cake instead. Crispy on the outside, not-too-sweet red bean filling on the inside -- so addictive. I might be falling in love with this one too!

You know the restaurant is good when you can't stop thinking about their food. I ordered their green pepper traditional noodle pot and it was chef's kiss. It comes with a big bowl of (boiling) broth and a handful of various ingredients which you add to the bowl yourself. I chose their green pepper broth which is medium spicy. It has a hint of mala spice and is very flavorful. So tasty and would recommend! You can also ask them to adjust the spiciness if you prefer less spicy. The noodles go in last and is the perfect texture. I clean my bowl every time I come here! The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. Plenty of parking.

This is a beautiful yet casual noodle bar. You can tell it's super authentic because they have their entire story written on the walls, which I find to be a classic Yunan, North-China touch. It's in a big plaza in north Austin so don't even worry about parking. The service on a Tuesday evening was pretty fast. I got the spicy mala rice noodle soup and it really hit the spot for me. This is the quinessential mala flavor. The rice noodles are super smooth, glossy, and filling. There were so many toppings, maybe too many haha: beef slices, lettuce, mushroom, tofu, corn, ham, etc. I would absolutely come back to try a pickled version or the hot pot version where you cook all the ingredients yourself.

Noodles here are top notch! Came on a Friday evening and was seated immediately. Service and food comes out quick. Although they forgot about our kimchi soup the first time. The dry noodle with beef is excellent. Noodles are fresh and the peanuts add a nice crunch. I heard the spicy is really spicy so I got non-spicy with spice on the side. Shrimp tempura is very crispy and the seaweed salad is large and great too. Kimchi soup was my favorite because you can add all the fixings yourself. Over solid noodles!

We had an early dinner (5pm) on a Tuesday evening and we were able to be seated immediately! The menu was a little confusing. But the make your own noodles come with 5 slices of beef and you get to pick your own broth. The toppings all come out on a tray and you're able to put the ingredients in yourself. You can then order additional meats as toppings for an additional price. And this is where the name of ten seconds noodle house comes from, because the broth comes out bubbling and you only need to cook your noodles for 10 seconds! The copper pot noodles, you can also pick your own broth, but then you can also pick what type of meat you want. (And it comes with more meat.) All of the ingredients and toppings are also constructed in the kitchen with the chef, so you only get the final product. I got the copper pot rice noodles, with fish filet and mala broth. I was kind of afraid it would be too spicy, especially because I was gonna play pickleball after dinner. But that wasn't the case at all! I still ordered it because I had been craving some mala tang, and I was able to get through my whole meal and play pickleball just fine. The broth wasn't too salty or anything, and it came with a lot of tender fish. It hit the spot and I was so fill afterwards. I didn't even finish all of my noodles! I also tried some of my friends pork bone broth and it was also delicious! The pork flavor was super strong without being too salty or heavy. I wasn't the biggest fan of the noodles, but that's just a personal preference. It kind of just reminded me of spaghetti. I kinda wish they had customisable noodle options, but i know that kind of defeats the purpose of the whole 10 seconds concept. Anyways, the rest of the menu looked pretty good too, so I would definitely wanna try some of the appetizers next time!

Ten seconds immediately conjures zen...slate wall with a very powerful message with the history of "Crossing the Bridge Noodles " story. No spoiler alert...you have to come into the restaurant to read the story. I am not sure how they did it...it is scorching hot outside and some cool not cold inside...the absolute perfect temperature. Ten Seconds has an ordering kiosk where you can self-order or place your with the wait staff. We ordered the Shrimp tempura and fried pork dumplings. The Shrimp Tempura was 6 out 5. Definitely coming back for that one. Fried pork dumplings were good not great. Next time we will have to try a hot pot. No time today...

I stopped by Friday night and was pleased by the speedy service and a warm, comforting bowl of noodles. I can't wait to return and explore some other soup options!

Tried this spot to eat with friends and I came out feeling a bit confused. It's located in a mall right off Anderson Lane. The menu looks enticing with different noodles option. I got the original clay pot noodles. The noodle itself takes good, I like the texture. Soup was strong of bone flavor but bland at the same time. Strangest part was the ingredients they put in there - raw lettuce and spam meat ?! I dont think Chinese noodles ever have those but I'd be surprised to be proven wrong. The portion was decent for the price. We also got the fried popcorn chicken, it was alright- kinda bland as well. Service wad decent.

I'm definitely an outlier opinion because I didn't love Ten Seconds that much. There's another location in Houston that I've been to years ago, and I also remember it being just okay. I appreciate that Austin has some new Chinese options. Staff is super friendly, and they were even giving out nice mugs as a Chinese New Year celebration. My friend and I got the chicken appetizer and the condensed milk and fried buns combo. I'm a huge fan of condensed milk and fried buns, and it's typically a menu item only seen at hot pot places. It really hit the spot, and the buns were fried perfectly. I also enjoyed the cold chicken app. It was pretty spicy, and the peanuts were a great addition. I don't love the entrees or the rice noodles. That's just a personal preference because I prefer chewier noodles rather than super silky noodles. I also agree with another reviewer's thoughts that the broth is quite boring. It doesn't really make me want to keep eating it, and the toppings included are just okay as well. It's a pretty one-dimensional entree, so I only ate a few bites before I felt like I was full.

The strip mall that this restaurant located in is pretty underwhelming and honestly a bit janky but when you walk in the door you'll be greeted with a cozy well decorated modern restaurant with soft welcoming Chinese music. The menu can look confusing at first but feel free to ask the waiter because they are super nice. Basically 3 main choices to choose from: - Dry noodles - Noodle soup that is cooked for you - Personal hotpot like soup where you cook the ingredients yourself. Dry noodles with sliced beef (4/5) Don't let the name fool you. It's dry noodles but it's not that dry. It's quite saucy. A tad on the salty side. Noodle is really soft. This dish is simple but it's got good flavor but just a tad salty for me. I do wish there was a bit more veggies to complement the dish. Noodle soup pre cooked with beef stew meat (5/5) This bowl of noodles has so much going on there. They are really generous with the meat and ingredients. The beef stew is very soft and tastes like it's been cooked for a long time. The ingredients include things like cabbage, various meat, lettuce, ham, quail egg and some pickled cabbage. The flavor profile here is excellent and tasty with a slight hint of tanginess from the pickled cabbage. All this comes in a copper pot to keep this dish hot throughout the end. The food comes out lightning fast and service great. I'll come back to try the fish option next time!

got the copper pot rice noodle with original soup and beef slices ($16.99) and it was super filling - definitely enough to share. the soup was hearty and yummy. the popcorn chicken ($9.99) - was a little dry for me, not as juicy as the taiwanese popcorn chicken. clean environment, cute decor - would come back!

Wowowow! New Chinese place just opened up in Austin. There was a line outside, but it didn't take too long for us to get in. The noodle soup I got was so delicious! You can choose the broth and the meat that goes inside. Normally, you would get the ingredients separately to switch in the noodles for 10 seconds to cook but since they were busy, we had all of the ingredients inside already. Pork ribs taste great, I even ate the soft part of the bones hahah. The AC is not cold enough inside though. The warm noodles make it really hot inside. Portion is just right, I finished the whole bowl! I will come back for sure. Great noodle place!

Most of the other hotpot places in town right now have been kind of a letdown for me, but Ten Seconds was fabulous! The service was friendly and very attentive and the ambiance is a LOT better than when Tokyo Sushi and Ramen occupied the same space. It's got a really warm, cozy vibe with some beautiful accents. Several booths for 4, and a long table in the middle that can accommodate larger groups or be split up for smaller ones. The food was definitely the star though, as it should be. My friends got the chicken rice noodle and mushroom rice noodle soups from the middle of the menu. Both were happy with their meals, but the friend who tried my mala hotpot said it was the best thing on the table. (The items in the middle row of the menu come out pre-cooked with all the ingredients added into the broth, while the menu items on the left come out with steaming hot broth and individual ingredients that you can add to your hotpot as you please.) The Szechuanese mala broth was incredible. It had the same tingly spice that you get at other places like Soupleaf, but the flavor was a lot richer and more complex. I'm guessing it has some beef broth or pork broth as the base. The toppings were also surprisingly good! You get tofu, corn, cooked greens, scallions, a qual egg, nice chewy rice noodles and some other stuff, and at least 5 slices of the really good thinly sliced brisket that melts in your mouth. More toppings can be added for an extra charge. I debated adding on more beef because it was SO yummy, but ended up being full with what I had. Price-wise, it was also definitely cheaper than other similar places, so wins all around!

I selected this place for department lunch. They don't do RSVP, which is a annoying. So I had to come about 20 mins early to get a table for over 8 people. The interior was nice, but nothing to take a date to. It clean and has decorations representing their food, which I like. The waiter was very nice and explain everything to me on the menu. She explains the steps on ordering customize noodles and what's the recommendations. She also explains how busy it gets during lunch, and that's why they don't do RSVP. The food came out fast and I like everything that we order. Soup was hot and the ingredient was fresh. I really enjoy the meal there. All my coworker really enjoy experimenting with the food they eat. Overall, nice place to go. The waiter explains to my coworkers on the food and pay attentions to their needs. Would recommend here and will be back more often.

The rice noodles and soup truly warm your soul on a cold winter night. I've visited their locations in Houston before and love this place. You can't really find Yunnan rice noodles anywhere else. I love getting their mala soup base, but it honestly felt a little too salty today. I usually get the sliced beef but decided to try the stewed beef today. The stewed beef was a little chewy, wouldn't really recommend it over the sliced beef for an extra 3 dollars. I tried my partner's fish and that was amazing. I'll probably choose fish as my protein next time. Wood ear mushrooms were great and had a perfect balance of vinegar and chili oil. Seating is limited and they did just open, so getting a table could take a while at peak times.

Perfect for a cold rainy day (or any day, really). The seats filled up pretty quickly after 6:30 on a Tuesday night. The interior is really cute and explains the history of this specific noodle dish from Yunan, which I grew up eating versions of it in Taiwan. It's very much comfort food for me. They still have a couple items missing from the menu since they just opened recently, but I'm mainly here for the soup noodles. We got a couple appetizers like the smashed cucumber ($7.99) and spicy fried tofu ($8.99). Both were good but the tofu was labeled crunchy and it's not really crunchy it's also the kind of tofu that has a nice chew to it and not like "real tofu" if you know what I mean. Tasty tho! I got the fish maw chicken soup ($20.99) and it was a rich yellow color that was collagen-packed. The flavors are good, a bit on the salty end, but I liked it a lot. The noodles got a good chew & the chicken is nice and tender. It was a generous portion too and I took some to-go. Definitely get the brown sugar rice cake for dessert ($8.99) - amazing crunch, nice and chewy/gooey center. You won't regret it.

I enjoyed this place. Pretty solid and not too expensive for what you get. I got the pork bone broth with all the toppings on the side, so it was kinda like hot pot honestly. I tried the mala chili broth my friend got and it was yummy. Maybe if I go again, I'd get that! The noodles tasted bouncy and the meat was delicious. If you are hungry, I would get the copper pot noodle dishes because they said it comes with more meat and they make it for you. The staff are friendly and the food came out quickly.

The place is clean and nicely decorated. I like that it feels kind of intimate, and they play Chinese music, which adds to the cozy atmosphere. I've visited three times now, and the food and service have been consistently great. The dishes come out quickly, and the soup is always piping hot. Here are some of my favorites: Brown Sugar Rice Cake (6 pieces) - $8.99 -- 5/5 A great dessert for sharing. We like it a little sweeter, so we asked for extra brown sugar syrup. Delicious! Homemade Dry Rice Noodle - $14.99 -- 4/5 I love the bouncy texture of the noodles. You can pick one protein, and it comes with cucumber, dried radish (adds a nice crunch), scallion, peanuts, and a homemade sauce. The first time I ordered it, it was a bit too salty for my taste. The second time, I asked for less sauce, and it was perfect. Rice Noodles with Beef Stew and Golden Hot & Sour Soup Base - $17.99 -- 5/5 The golden hot & sour soup base is so comforting--I'd say it's medium spicy with a mild tang. The beef stew is super tender and the portion is good.

Best noodles in Austin this is my favorite noodle spot, their prices are so affordable and you get so much food for what you pay for. I often times leave full with leftovers. This place does everything right! Their dry noodle and Mala Szechuan are my personal favorites, I never get tired of it!

Came in on a chilly night for some hot soup and noodles. The food is authentic and good and the restaurant is nice and clean with interesting decor and Chinese pop music playing. Pretty much everyone else dining was Chinese so you know it's a good spot. The service was also really friendly. I liked the variety of the toppings that come with the noodles and presentation. We chose the traditional beef option which meant we put in the ingredients ourselves which was fun. I felt the original pork broth was a little mild in flavor and my partner's hot and sour broth was quite spicy so we ended up combining the two which made a perfect flavorful broth. We also had the simmered chicken which was quite sweet for my taste but fragrant.

Just as I was looking into restaurants with soup dishes for this cold weather, this placed popped up! I will say it's a good option for those who are not feeling the AYCE hot pot experience. I ordered the traditional hot pot set with 5 slices of beef in a pork broth and really enjoyed it. I also tried the mala broth and it was delicious with a mild kick. Both were seasoned well and came out boiling in a stone pot. The noodles were plentiful, but texture-wise, it didn't quite hit the spot for me. The smashed cucumbers were addicting. It was perfectly vinegary and so good. I probably ate maybe 70% of the whole thing by myself. We also ordered the brown sugar rice cakes, which I haven't yet seen in Austin. It was the right amount of sweetness, without being overpowering, and cooked well for a soft, pillowy texture. As expected with any new restaurant opening, there was a bit of a wait. I came on a weekday so it wasn't too bad. We were seated at the communal table, which felt incredibly tight and took away from the experience. I generally don't like dining that close to other customers and there wasn't enough room on the table for all our dishes without it spilling over into the next table. Overall, pretty solid choice for noodles.

A fun place to visit, the broth has a great flavor and the noodles were nice and chewy. The pork ribs are not as tender as I would've hoped, but still good nevertheless. The sides in the soup were also solid, although there's not much you can do to customize it. The fried bun with condensed milk was absolutely addicting. Staff was great!

Piping hot, unique, and generous bowl of noodles with numerous & unique garnishes. the sweet and sour broth was rich and pungent. Lots of surprises like a quail egg, fish tofu, tofu skin, wood ear mushroom, corn, and roasted lettuce. It was delicious and my server was extremely gracious and greeted me with a warm smile. I really like the copper pot the soup was served in as well. They also offered a large wooden spoon and chopsticks making this meal very authentic. Be sure to wash it down with one of their many delicious fruited herbal teas. Lots of flavors your aren't really gonna find anywhere else!

Came here for lunch right after their soft opening, had to wait for a while due to the initial hype. The tomato soup base is pretty good and I really enjoyed the fillet - soft and juicy. Unfortunately, we felt very thirsty after finishing our meal and we suspected that they added a lot of MSG in the broth. The AC is def not strong enough, we felt relieved the moment we walked out of the restaurant since the outside weather feels cooler than inside the restaurant.

Tried this place out after seeing popcorn chicken on the menu. The appetizers were pretty tasty, popcorn chicken, calamari, and brown sugar rice cake. I was expecting the popcorn chicken to be a little different breading, still enjoyed it though. We weren't a huge fan of the ramen or dry noodles as much, but it's not bad. Maybe it's from preference. I like chewier noodle and these noodles weren't as satisfying to eat. We didn't end up finishing our entrees. Although my friend liked her hot pot. The mango green tea drink was a bit too sweet. Still tasted yummy though. I'd request for less sweetness less time if possible.

The presentation of the food was beautiful! Definitely made me drag myself here after seeing many posts on Instagram and Facebook about this spot. I didn't love my golden broth so much, it tasted quite boring, flat and uninspired. The flavors failed to come together for some reason, leaving a one-dimensional taste that's mostly sour and salty. However, I'm glad I tried my brother's Mala broth. It was very flavorful, had the perfect smoky flavor and wasn't too overwhelmingly spicy or numbing, which I liked. I would definitely come back for the Mala broth and I'm usually not a fan of Mala. This place is perfect for those who prefer non-AYCE option. Very good service. My waiter was such a good salesman! He was so knowledgeable about the menu. Very small and cozy restaurant. If you come during peak hours, expect a bit of a wait.

This spot was such a pleasant surprise and definitely going to become one of our go-to's. They specialize in yunnan noodles but have so many other items I've been craving! We got the chicken soup, fried chicken, fried buns, and fried peanuts. The chicken soup was light and fresh and perfect for the cold weather. The fried chicken is the Taiwanese chicken I've been looking for. Nice and hot, very light and crispy and the seasoning is really good. I wish the peanuts were a bit saltier but overall still good. I will definitely be returning here soon!

My friend wanted noodles for Lunar New Year so we tried this place out. It was a little difficult to find, but now that we know it's by Pluckers, we'll be sure to enter the plaza in the correct spot. The staff were very friendly. Since it was our first time, they walked us through the menu. On this day they were giving away cute teacup sets. What a nice surprise. The menu is not extensive, but there should be something for everyone, even vegetarians like me. The hot pot my friend got looked great with the tray of toppings. They have a several level spice scale, so everyone should be able to tailor their meal to their liking.

This chain has finally made its way to Austin! Perfect on a cold night, Ten Seconds is all it takes for your food to basically cook through in the hot broth. It's like mini hotpot more or less. Some stone pot dishes come preassembled, but otherwise you can do it yourself. I got the pork rib one and the broth is rich and meat was tender enough. Add some chili oil on the side and you're good to go. It's hearty, warming and sort of healthy? Soul food is good for you right? As for sides, the popcorn chicken, smashed cucumbers and spicy beef tendon were all very good to share, especially the tendon. Would highly recommend some of the appetizers if you're in a group! Can get crowded, especially on the weekends, so try going off hours.

I've enjoyed trying ten seconds in other cities before so I was so glad they finally opened one in Austin. Both times I ordered the "make your own" option, which allows you to choose what type of meat and soup flavor, and it comes with like a dozen random toppings in cute tiny plates. Then you toss it all in and after 10 seconds you can eat! I love the flavor of the broth here, it's rich but not too heavy. On a cold day, it really warms the soul. I'll need to come back to try the rest of the menu.

SOUP-er tasty!! If you're looking for a flavorful, filling, and healthy hotpot noodle soup, this is it! We came a couple days after opening and it was already super busy. So busy that the ingredients for the soup were already put in the soup instead of allowing you to put them in yourself, which was fine by me. Our party of 3 waited 30-45 minutes, and there was a wait for the food as well. Worth it though. The shared strip mall parking lot was really full so it also took time to find parking. I got the make your own hotpot with green pepper broth and beef slices (~$15). There are lots of veggies and other ingredients included. Portion is big and will definitely satiate you. Plenty of broth is included. The green pepper broth was spicy but not too spicy, I would recommend it!

So glad to have more authentic Asian food options in Austin! I tried the build your own, the sauerkraut fish soup and the calamari and they were all yummy! I do wish the soups had more flavor, esp the sauerkraut fish was a little bit lacking. They did give a lot of fish in the soup and the portion sizes were quite large - the meals are a great bang for your buck! I didn't have to wait when I came, but some people after me did. It seems like you can check in on an iPad and come back when your name is called. It is a bit of a smaller restaurant so it can get busy during peak times.

This is a really delicious place. Just be careful with the piping hot bowl that comes out with all the ingredients for you to add. I had my friend's baby in my arms so the server offered to make it for me. Thank you for doing that. You just throw everything they give you into the broth and then eat! I love the green pepper broth. But to get beef, you have to opt for the traditional, which is only 5 pieces of thinly sliced beef. The schezuan was mouth numbing and not for me but my friend enjoys it. We also got the fried bun with sweetened condensed milk. It's listed as an appetizer but we ordered it after the meal. I loved the story of this Yunan noodle dish printed on the wall. It's a small space so be prepared to wait but overall quick and yummy place to get warm with a bowl of noodles. I'd love to come back to try more appetizers and the dry noodles.

You know you're in for an authentic Asian food experience when the restaurant is jam packed with Asians. This is not a big restaurant so might be a wait when you visit during weekends but definitely worth the wait. The service is spot on and very charming décor all around. If you want to check out a unique Chinese cuisine this is the place. It's specialized rice noodles from Yunnan. The noodles are made from rice flour so it's gluten free. It is chewy and silky. It absorbs the flavor so well that you can't stop eating it. But the appetizers are great too. Appetizers: - Popcorn chicken is a must have - good ratio of batter and meat - Brown sugar rice cake - so good you will want to order a second for dessert - Takoyaki - This is technically Japanese apps and it was not the best I've ever had Rice noodles: - Spicy beef tripe rice noodles soup - If you love spicy food, this is it. But considered yourself warn. The mala peppercorn will numb your tongue if you have never had Szechuan dishes before. - Fish fillet with sauerkraut rice noodles soup - Great flavor if you like sauerkraut. Also packed with big chunky fish fillet. - Dry rice noodles - My friend made her own dry rice noodles with pork intestines and pork ribs. It's surprisingly good but not a lot of spice if you're comparing it with the noodles soup. So happy we now have a Yunnan rice noodles soup in town!

Tried out the newly opened Ten Seconds Yunan Noodle for lunch today after hearing about it from social media! This is a popular chain from China that is starting to open up quite a few locations in the US. They specialize in a Yunan dish called "Crossing the Bridge Noodles", which is a noodle soup meant to be served with the soup and ingredients separately for the customer to assemble mix together themselves. The reasoning for this is to keep the texture of the noodles as fresh as possible, and the name is attributable to a popular story where a wife had to travel quite some distance - including across a bridge - to bring her husband lunch every day. To prevent the noodles from getting soggy, she carried the soup in one container and the noodles and other ingredients in another so that her husband could enjoy her cooking as if he was eating at home. We ordered two crossing the bridge noodles - both with beef slices but with different soup bases - and an order of the fried mantou. One thing to note for probably the first few weeks is since they are newly opened, they told us the everything would come precooked and already in the soup as they are really busy and still figuring things out. So pretty much the same as ordering a regular bowl of noodles, which is a little disappointing but not a big deal. Crossing the Bridge Noodle with Original Pork broth and beef slices: Each order of this dish comes with rice noodles, lettuce, fish tofu, tofu skin, ham, corn, and a quail egg - all topped with some chives. The only thing you choose is your protein and your soup base. The pork broth was both light and yet still savory which I really enjoyed. The rice noodles felt a little overdone, but still paired with the soup quite nicely. The rest of the ingredients were pretty typical of what you'd find in hotpot - nothing special but decent. Overall a pretty good bowl of rice noodles, with a pretty large serving of noodles and lettuce - 7/10. Crossing the Bridge Noodle with with Hot and Sour broth and beef slices: Pretty similar comments to the other noodle dish - only difference was the broth. This broth was much bolder than the pork broth with the sour notes associated with suan cai (pickled mustard greens). Very reminiscent of the suan cai beef slice rice noodle dish from Julie's Noodles - 7/10. Fried Bun with Condensed Milk: Now for what we thought was the best dish of the meal - this was a plate of six fried golden-brown mantou with condensed milk to dip in. The mantou was lightly fried to have a nice crisp on the outside, while the interior remained light and fluffy - somewhat like a beignet or donut. We just got back from New Orleans last weekend, and, as sacrilegious as this might sound - I'd honestly say I preferred this over the beignets we tried there. The condensed milk and mantou pairing is classically Chinese, a little decadent and yet not too heavy on the stomach (depending on how many you eat and how much condensed milk you add of course). Perfect dish to close this meal out with - 9/10.

Great service. Simple and clean decor. Love that the soups come out piping hot, kids love the fish and sour cabbage noodles, vinegar garlic mushrooms is a refreshing appetizer and good selection for vegetarians.

Ive only ordered from ten seconds through uber eats. My partner and i really like the fish maw soup and the pork broth. I think the fish maw soup is the golden chicken broth which i have only tried in a different city and ive been looking for it ever since. Im so happy i can finally get it from ten seconds. I like how the soups came with meat and veggies. And the portions are pretty big. Their tofu is really smooth and has a nice chewy texture. Dont forget to order the brown sugar mochi dessert! We've already ordered from ten seconds a few times since theyve openee up their shop.

While I can't attest to the authenticity of the food, I can say that it is EXCELLENT. We got the Cross The Bridge Rice Noodles (traditional) that comes deconstructed at the table and also tried the Homemade Dry Noodle. Both were delicious! We will be back to try more dishes, as their other soups looked amazing.

Mala spicy beef rice noodles and beef tripe are delicious. It came with all ingredients on the side! Also ordered plum juice, it was also great! Definitely will visit again! Amazing comfort food! Service was sufficient and very clean!

Food is very good and delicious, and service is very good too. Location is very convenient and parking is very easy.

Food was good and service was friendly. Food came out fast. Portions were big! A new place to try Yunnan rice noodles.

This place has awesome delicious noodles! Huge bowls. Both the copper bowls and build-yourself noodles are impressive. Fragrant broth. Juices are nice too. Would recommend!

Really good food! The service was great and everything about my experience was very pleasant. Me and my friend were eating and I was talking about how it was his birthday soon. They overheard and gave us free sesame balls!

It was so exciting to hear Ten Second Noodle finally opened their new location in Austin. Unfortunately, the food did not meet my expectation. The Mala Spicy soup is decent but the meat is very chewy. Also, I have missing a quail egg and shrimp for my 2 togo orders.

Had been there twice so far. Perfect for any occasion of casual reunion. Delicious steamy food and nice service. A great add on for diversity of Austin food!

Delicious! We went twice in the span of 3 days. The ingredients are really fresh and high quality. The soup broths are delicious. We also really enjoyed the spicy fried tofu side dish and fried mantou buns. So happy this restaurant exists in Austin!

Their soup was delicious! I also love that they separate noodles with soup for to-go orders

Amazing!! Food was fantastic! Simple ambiance! Amazing appetizers also! Very very affordable! Prices and food matches perfectly! Heading to the one in Carrollton TX in a bit!

I had been a long time customer at Ten Seconds Noodle in Selma for many years, I was elated to hear they were in Austin so went to try today not during busy period but in between lunch and dinner. It was a big mistake. We got seated and water quickly but after that there was nothing. I can understand if there were may tables but there was not. I can understand under that circumstances. The waiter was wiping plates and the two other waitress of staff bth looking down at register instead of seeing if tables needed to take orders or existing customers needed something. Saw a customer waving his hands to get attention. pries are not cheap either and for my monies not worth it. I have no issues paying $25 for a bowl of noodle soup but when I do not get service that is the end of it. There are so many Chinese noodle restaurants in Austin. Many cheaper or equal to this one. Being new in Austin and trying to get customers to come in is not the way to encourage business. I was in Selma just two days ago, one waitress 6 tables and she took care of al the tables. Four wait staff at this restaurant and apparently not enough staff to handle such a small amount of guests. If you have all the time in the world and do not mind waiting forever or having to wave to get service this is the restaurant for you. Have told all my friends to avoid the restaurant and if they really want good service to look at Selma branch or elsewhere. Would have liked to have tasted the food to see how they compare to Selma but guess was not meant to be. There loss.
