Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle

We usually go to the Ten Seconds Rice Noodles up in Champaign when we visit our son but we thought we give this place a try since we love the one in Champaign but this was really a disappointment. I don't know why they think putting the stuff inside ourselves with these tiny dishes is a good idea, all it does is make the soup cold! By the time you put everything in, the stuff is cold so the soup is no longer hot. Not like the one in Champaign where it is boiling hot and delicious. Service was excellent and they were very nice and many seating and free parking across the street. Love how clean it is and ambiance is very good. If I have never been to the one in Champaign then this one is not bad. But now that there are comparisons, I much prefer hot soup over lukewarm soup.

The atmosphere is made to feel like Yunnan. Love the design! The broth is prepped and you can add the noodle & all of the condiments on your own which made it really fun for my kids. The food taste great and the fruit tea is very refreshing.

Great service & attention to details by our waitress Anita. The appetizer chicken wings & cucumber woodear mushrooms were tasty. We got 4 kind of noodles(hot & sour, tomato, pork bone & chicken broth) with 9 condiments. Especially loved fish fillets. Highly recommend!

Atmosphere is great. Very nice decor. Generous portion sizes at a reasonable price for Chicago. Service is very attentive. Would come back again :))

The food was so good! We got the hot and sour broth. It was full of flavor and good portion sizes. Finished all of it :)

My first time at this place and it’s really good! I went for lunch. They have a special for $19.99 you choose a broth (also comes with a lot of sides), and one side dish and ice or hot tea. I got the original broth it’s so good! I would be coming back.

Food was great. Loved the woofers mushrooms side dish and the original crossing bridge noodle soup. One thing they can improve is getting orders in faster.

Decided to try this place out for dinner. We tried the original crossing bridge rice noodles and hot & sour soup with fish. Both soups came with a generous portion of noodles. Everything was delicious and the presentation of the toppings was really nice. Service was fast and friendly.

This place never misses! I have tried Ten Seconds Yunnan rice noodles in other cities and every time the experience satisfied me. They are also affordable and the portions size is decent as well. The concept is unique and different from hotpot or any other Chinese noodles shop. The food came out very quickly. Their combo meal is such a good deal too. For $20, you get an appetizer and an entree. The crispy chicken is delicious. They have plenty of seatings and they are located in the Chinese market building, convenient to do other shoppings. Parking lot is available. Highly recommend this place. I really hope my city will get this chain .

Food: yummy yunnan noodles, I like the sets where you can add in and customize, the spicy brisket was very generous in portions and meat which was great Service: staff was nice Ambiance: clean interior, very nice spot for a meal

This place was ok. Place to try and not come back if thinking of dinner. It was empty for dinner on a weekday. Lots of money spent to decorate. It looks nicer than you expect it to be. The food concept is like a hot pot but the things to put in your noodle bowl just comes in little platters. Not a hit for us. Not sure if we'll be back.

This is a chain of yunnan rice noodles, and I've had it in NY, Philly, and now Chicago. This is ALL about the culinary experience. It's giving chef, especially when you get to mix all the ingredients in yourself. My tomato soup with beef brisket was a bit plain. It did not have any tangy sour kick that comes with mixing tomato paste with soy sauce. I had to add huge spoonfuls of their 酸菜(minced pickled veggies) and some chili oil to get flavor. I also had to dump in the beef brisket with all its yummy juices to get the broth to fulfill its original full potential. The beef brisket itself was marinated to perfection - so tender, juicy, and the perfect texture. Staff are efficient and bring out your food minutes after ordering! It was mostly empty when I walked in on a Saturday around 12pm, but got full very quickly! All tables are booths. A fun culinary experience for sure! I want to come again and try their other broths!

The food was absolutely delicious! I didn't expect to like this place that much, but I was so wrong! Their presentation is absolutely phenomenal! I love how you get a steaming bowl of hotpot and an assortment of items to put in the hotpot. They give a large portion of noodles and meat, so I was more full than expected. The different soup options definitely intrigued me and make me want to come back! The service was great - they always checked up on us to make sure we didn't need anything. The waitress that brought our food also dropped one of the meat pieces, and I didn't even notice; however, she still apologized and came back with a replacement piece. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful. It feels like a fancy restaurant, and I love how clean the restaurant looks. There's parking as well, so it's very easy to access the restaurant.

Ambiance - modern, great for dates and small groups Service - servers were super nice and food came out fairly quickly; they have a Mon-Fri combo special for $19 (rice noodle + snack + drink) Food - soup came out piping hot (to cook the ingredients), rich and flavorful, just the right amount of food for 1 person

My first time eating at this chain was in the Bay Area, and I'm so excited and happy that this chain has made it to Chicago! Service is amazing; servers were super nice and attentive and offered to help explain the menu, provide recommendations, and how to prepare the rice noodles. New restaurant so everything was clean. Overall - good portions, love the noodles, and flavorful soups with decent protein options. I love that the bowls come in piping hot and you throw in all the sides into the bowl. The soup is flavorful enough such that you can slurp your noodles and there's plenty of flavor! Ordyceps Flower Chicken Rice Noodle - tender and flavorful chicken with a delicate flavor of the ordyceps flower. Surprisingly was a great bowl of noodle and soup and quite a bit of meat overall leaving us really full. The yellow color is a little weird but the taste was pretty good. Definitely drank quite a bit of soup from this bowl! Original Beef Brisket Rice Noodle - The beef brisket was made very well and flavorful! Highly recommend. I'm glad that they put this on the side instead of throwing it into the bowl! Original Pork Chop Rice Noodle - I was told the pork chop is fried so I asked for the pork chop on the side. The pork chop was lukewarm, not crispy (came soft), and wasn't the most tender nor juicy. It felt like the pork chop was previously fried and then only reheated upon ordering. Taste of the pork chop was rather bland as well and wish it had more flavoring. Would not recommend getting this since the beef brisket or chicken was definitely a better option. They also have weekday combos for $19.99 where you can pick from a select number of noodle dishes, an appetizer (a smaller portion than appetizers from the menu), and an iced tea which you can have sweetened or unsweetened.

This is a Yun Nan rice noodles restaurant located inside the 88 Marketplace near Chinatown. They have a simple menu of Yun Nan style rice noodles with different broth. We ordered their bone broth noodle combo with beef tendon and pepper fish dish with rice. The noodle dish came with a bunch of side dishes that go into the broth and beef tendon which was very tender and flavorful. The bone broth was rich but not greasy. The pepper fish dish had a strong pepper flavor but not spicy. Overall, a light lunch but satisfying. Interior was modern and clean.

The restaurant was clean and very nice. We came here for lunch! I got the original broth with three dried dumplings and an ice tea for $19.99! It was very yummy! Be careful the bowl is very hot. The server was very nice too!

This chain has landed in Chicago!! Had to stop by to try the newest addition to the Jefferson Square. Off the bat, I noticed this place was really quiet. Although there were jazz / instrumental music playing in the background, we were talking soft so we're not too loud. Really chill place! As for food... We tried a combo from a different menu where you pick one noodle dish and one side. We chose the golden hot and sour rice noodles with the salt and pepper chicken. It came with tea too (not too sweet). The noodles were served "hot pot style," where you add your meat and customize the rest with your choice of ingredients. Different concept than other noodle places I've been to. The chicken was also so delicious, not too dry! The best part is all of that for $20!!!! There were plenty of leftovers. Service was excellent. We were checked up on pretty frequently to make sure everything was okay.

Ambiance: 5/5 It is a newly renovated restaurant right next to 88 Market. There are plenty of seats inside and everything is clean. Service: 5/5 The servers are REALLY attentive and will come by to check up on you quite often hahah. Food: 3.5/5 We tried the 4 basic flavors of soup bases they had. Our favorite was the sour spicy one. The others were just okay and the spicy was actually our least favorite. It lacked any real depth of flavor and was just a lil salty. The concept of this place is the real selling point. You basically pour all the little bowls of ingredients into your soup and mix it up yourself. Skip the drinks, they are very mid lol. The egg waffle and scallion pancake was yummy though!

Sometimes you crave hotpot but it can be difficult to go by yourself and you end up over-ordering. This is the perfect hotpot meal for one! I managed get seated right away and the server explained the concept of choosing a soup base and the accompanying sides. I picked a hot and sour soup base with basa fish as my protein and added extra beef slices on the slide. I love that the sides came individually in the little serving bowls in the wooden box. The assortments of sides included shrimp, quail egg, fish cakes, luncheon meat, mushrooms, corn and fresh noodles. My fish was cooked and the beef and fish only required a quick 10 second dip in the rich broth.

The concept of this restaurant was really interesting. We ordered the pork chop and beef brisket hot and sour soup. When it came out it came with 9 different side dishes where you were expected to add it in yourselves as the sides were cold and the broth came out hot. We enjoyed the hot and sour soup base the most as it was packed with flavor. The waitress was really attentive and made sure we know what was going on. Overall, the food was pretty solid and we would most likely come again.

Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle is a Chinese specialty restaurant that during the week days a value pack of $19.99 for your choice of noodle dish, small appetizer and tea drink combo. I quite like the presentation of all the garnishing and ingredients that goes into a bowl of Yunnan noodles laid out in a 3x3 tray. Presentation is unique. Taste is pretty average. I ordered my popcorn chicken to be extra crispy and it didn't disappoint. For $20, I think that this value pack is worth entertaining with a group of friends for a night out!

Love this place. The white pork broth w beef brisket $17.99 (total w tax was $20.11 and you can add tip to that) very good and the sides to put in were fresh and good also. There was enough meat for the beef brisket dish. The food was filling even if it's not all you can eat hot pot. The seasoning was just right. Any extra little side dish is an upcharge. It's right in the same strip mall as 88 market. The bathroom is beautiful and has a baby changing station. No paper towels so it's good for the environment. All the staff are very kind and attentive. We will return.

This place really is a hidden gem in Chicago. The food is excellent, the whole process of putting your bowl together makes the meal feel special. The staff guides you through and are very friendly and attentive. All booth seating makes for a private atmosphere. Will definitely go again!

Not bad, the stone bowls kept my noodles hot the whole time. Would recommend tomato soup w/ beef brisket!

Food is good, service good overall is excellent. But I not sure your charge tip after tax. I am not sure coming back again

Having a bowl of their hot noodle soup is such a comforting feeling on a cold winter day. Their tomato broth was so good

Hidden gem. Very tasty and reasonable priced. Staff very helpful to walk you through process. Cute decor
