Rich, warm, and hearty, there's nothing more comforting than cozying up inside with a simmering bowl of soup as the seasons begin to change. Oh wait, add some noodles to that!
Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodles 十秒到雲南過橋米線 is a branch of the popular Chinese noodle chain, Shi Miao Dao 十秒到, whose name roughly translates to "ready in ten seconds" (hence the English name of this restaurant). Specializing in cross-bridge noodles, each set is comprised of a bowl of hot soup, rice noodles, and various accompanying ingredients such as thinly sliced meats, fried tofu puffs, wood-ear mushrooms, pickled cabbage, corn, and more.
My sister and I came here on an early Tuesday evening, to get away from the cold, and there were plenty of tables available; no wait was necessary. We ordered the Chicken Leg with Mixed Mushroom Rice Noodles for her, the Beef Brisket Rice Noodles with Tomato Soup for me, and a soft-boiled egg and a side of pig intestines to share. Our server asked if it was okay to pre-mix everything (instead of serving each ingredient individually), which we were fine with, and the food arrived at the table in a matter of minutes and extremely hot too. I swear I burned the roof of my mouth, and my gums too, just trying to slurp up some noodles--yes, a very wise decision, I know--but it was worth it (and well... also because spitting it out in public would've been rude).
Both broths were extremely rich and flavorful, but I am partial to the tomato; the tenderness of the beef brisket was amazing and I especially loved the tomatoeyness of the broth. My sister enjoyed her order too, though the staff completely forgot and left out her chicken leg until she asked about it.
Overall, great experience here! The food was delicious and the staff were very patient and pleasant to interact with. Will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items or maybe just to order another bowl of tomato beef brisket rice noodles :D
