Yunan is a province in China, whose specialty is soup noodles. The ingredients come on a plate - a quail egg, slices of pork, 4 pieces of black chicken, bean sprouts and dried tofu skins. The cooked noodles are served in a bowl. Then a large bowl of piping hot broth follows. The ingredients are put into the broth bowl. Once the meat is cooked to your liking, then you are ready to eat. It's like eating a bowl of hot pot.

Dark and dingy vibes with that C rating, but their noodle soups are flavorful, portioned well and cheap. One of the best dine in cheap eats in Sunset Park. Recommend #8 rice noodle w spicy meat sauce, #20 noodle w crispy meat and #40 assorted cold meats

On a rare occasion we decided to explore the original Brooklyn Chinatown in Sunset Park despite the horrific BQE congestion. After traversing the entire length of 8th Ave within the Chinatown, we ended up here for a light meal. Yunnan is a province in southern China, bordering the Southeast Asian countries. So it’s no surprise that its signature noodle dishes are reminiscent of Vietnamese pho. Yep, that’s my impression anyway after trying their menu item #1, Crossing The Bridge Rice Noodle $12. It’s like pho, the broth is clear but more gingery, the rice noodle is round - not flat, the proteins shredded instead of whole slices. The takeout version came with 2 separate big containers of broth one of which is a souped up chicken broth. I found it quite odd but Not complaining. I think I was supposed to mix them into the same bowl, but I simply dunk rice noodle into one and never get to the second broth as I’d finished the rice noodle. I ended up drinking the second broth on my next meal. Both broth were beyond delicious. The proteins were way too little however. The rice noodle had a unique and intriguing texture. My family also tried #3 - the beef & lamb version of #1 for $2 more, #5 - Rice Noodle with Beef Stew $8.50, and #14 Noodle with Lamb Stew $9.25. From what I gathered, I would recommend the latter 2 even though they are not their signature soups. They came with noticeably more protein and thus much better value.

Definitely a lesser known style and flavor of China in this country, but is more than worth it. Had the crossing the bridge beef & lamb and hot & sour dumplings. If exploring the different facets of Asian cuisines is your thing, don't miss out on this.
