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 :))

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.

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.

Awesome food. My friend and I ordered an original rice noodle and a beef brisket rice noodle, as well as a couple of appetizers. Loved every bit of it. Will definitely come back and recommend to our friends.

I got the first bone broth option, R1. It was hearty and delicious. They gave 4 slices of meat, a bunch of sides, and a good amount of noodles. I came in when they were having a deal for their 10 year anniversary, so got 20% off for dine in, but even without that I think you're getting great value for the price point. Beautiful interior and friendly staff too.

This noodle shop has a really cool concept. The soup comes out with the individual ingredients served separately, and you add everything into the broth yourself. It's definitely fun and makes for a great photo. While I'm not totally convinced it tastes any different than if the bowl were already assembled, the experience itself was enjoyable. Portion sizes were generous, and the restaurant provides clear instructions on the order in which you should add the ingredients, which I appreciated. The staff was helpful, attentive, and checked in without being overbearing. Food also came out very quickly. For flavors, I ordered the green pepper broth with basa fish, and my husband got the spicy broth with beef slices. Both were flavorful, comforting, and perfect for a winter day. One of the set toppings was ham, which I thought was a little random and not something I usually expect in Chinese noodle dishes. It would be a great idea if, instead of having set toppings, they let customers choose which toppings they want. We also shared the spicy shredded chicken appetizer. It was good overall, though a bit sweeter than I was expecting. The restaurant was clean, prices were reasonable at under $20 per person, and overall it felt like a solid value. A fun dining experience with good food and service.

I've tried the classic bone broth with beef slices and beef brisket. We also shared sliced beef & ox organs and salt & pepper chicken. Appetizers were solid, flavorful, and big portions. The signature entree is reasonably priced, enough food for even a big eater I think, and the quality is good from the soup to the individual ingredients. I've eaten at this same restaurant in Dallas and the quality is consistent. No issues with service. Staff were friendly. Plenty of seating for small to big groups.

A Chinese twist of the Korean dish seolleongtang. Presentation was really good but I wish they had salt/pepper on the side. The soup was pretty bland and the fried chicken was too "floury." Pretty good spot if you're craving soup!

Technically a 3.5, but giving them the 4 since the staff were very friendly, and I've only been once. Tl;dr efficient rice noodle chain that gives a nice variety of toppings and has solid appetizers. Friendly staff and convenient-ish location next to 88 marketplace. ===== Came here the other night and my friend and I both got the weekday combo set: 20$ for appetizer, jasmine tea (your choice of sweetened, unsweetened, or half and half), and choice of rice noodle. I got the original and my friend got the spicy. We also got the Taiwanese-style fried chicken pieces and cucumber salad appetizers. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. My friend had a number of dietary restrictions and they kindly subbed tofu for the beef rolls, and fried tofu puffs for the ham. They also let us get half-sweetened jasmine tea. It wasn't super busy on a weeknight, and the space they have is big and good for various group sizes. I liked that they have a small self-serve toppings station. Food coma out quickly and service is very attentive. Menus and staff seem to be fully bilingual, too. The variety of toppings is great and comes out displayed very prettily. Portion sizes are quite generous, especially if you get the set. Now onto my nitpicks. The main issue I had was that my original rice noodle wasn't that flavorful, and there was a slight grassy flavor I didn't like. Adding some chili oil and other toppings helped. I realized later that the grassy flavor was also from the rice noodles themselves, and not the soup or any specific topping. Not sure what's going on there, but I'd definitely order a stronger-flavored soup next time. My dining partner didn't seem to have this complaint, so it might just be me... another nit is that the jasmine tea is pretty weak, and you get a pretty small cup. They may do refills, but we didn't ask. As for the positives, the broths were both pleasant and comforting. The appetizers were surprisingly good, too. The fried chicken especially was a decent size and very tender and flavorful.

I have been here multiple times. Last time I came was a few weeks ago and I enjoyed the weekday 19.99 deal meal set that includes one main, one app and one ice tea. I got the beef dry noodles as the main and scallion pancakes as an app. They were delicious and I was surprised by the beef portion, it was quite generous. The service is quick and I love the large tables, giving me plenty of room

We ordered the scallion pancakes as an appetizer, and I got the tomato broth. My friends got the hot and sour soup, the pork bone soup, and the ordyceps flower chicken rice noodle. The presentation is nice with all the bowls with toppings laid out - the broth is super hot so it'll cook the meat once you put it in. I thought all the broths were pretty tasty as well - the tomato was my favorite. We also had leftovers to take home!

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

What not to like?! Good tasty food, fun dining experience and great services with a speed. So perfect for a winter day. Very clean and modern design inside. Various choices for paring things up. My favorite broth is the original. Tasty as it is. Much convenient parking around. Get a noodle soup done then shopping for some Asian groceries to take home. A perfect plan for a weekend.

Very nice interior with comfortable seats, enough lights to read the menu which is a plus. The menu has pictures and little descriptions, I usually order from the specials, where I get a limited selection of soup and choice of limited appetizers and drink for under $20. Food comes fast and fresh where you pour all the side dishes into the hot soup. Apple pay is accepted and free parking across the street. Highly recommend.

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 .

Around 11am on a Saturday, the place was fairly empty. In inside looks nice and spacious. I ordered from the kiosk and as its name implied, the orders came out super-fast. The Scallion Pancake was very greasy. It should be pan-fried, but texture was very dry as if it was flash fried. The Sliced Beed and Ox Organs appetizer was spicy as expected. The Beef Dry Rice Noodle was balanced in taste. I like the peanuts that added crunchiest the dish. Overall the noodle dish felt heavy because of the hot oil used to mix the noodles. Next time, I might dine in and try the soup noodles instead.

I love the food setup here! Never had anything like it before. You choose the kind of soup you want and the toppings/ingredients come separately in this cool looking 3x3 wooden grid box in small bowls. The raw meat and rice noodles are served separately. You get your own pot that is like a hot pot and you add/dump the ingredients in the broth. The raw meat cooks quickly since the pot is insulated and it's hot enough to cook the meat and shrimp. You would add the rice noodles at the end. They have the Mon-Fri $19.99 special which is a great deal. It comes with a drink and a small side dish. I got the scallion pancake and my friend got the wood ear mushrooms for the side dish. The pork bone soup reminds me of the flavor like seolleongtang and it looks like it too as it is white and creamy looking. Each table has hot chili sauce and other spices that you could add to your soup.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

it's good but nothing to write home about! the concept where they bring all the ingredients to you on a little container is fun but kind of just hotpot with more steps and less choice (which could be good to ease newbies in! less decision making!). I got the original broth and it was really good but not any better than a really good ramen broth. the apps were also well done, I really liked the wood ear mushroom salad. overall a good lunch spot if you're already shopping at 88 but wouldn't go out of my way.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic food. The noodles are the best I have ever had. Service also fantastic. Recommend this place to anyone who wants a friendly atmosphere with polite servers and delicious food.

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
