Profile

The friendly husband-and-wife owners hail from Yunnan, the southwestern Chinese province bordering Myanmar and Vietnam, and they specialize in nicely chewy, silky white rice noodles served in bountiful bowls of soup adorned with cilantro and hot sauce and slurped at the low counter that runs around the periphery of the tiny room. Broths are dark and murky, populated by your choice of stewed beef or pork, and might contain the odd snout or two. Heat waves call for cold noodles, doused with sweet-and-spicy sauces and way more sugar than you might expect. There are plump pork dumplings, too, elegantly crimped and immersed in a hot-and-sour broth. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Friendly Owners, Delicious Noodles

I finally made it over to Yun Nan on the first cold day of the year. The owner could not have been nicer, and the noodles were some of the best I've ever had. I had the rice noodle soup with pork stew, and my boyfriend had rice noodles with spicy meat sauce. Both were excellent - each chunk of pork in my soup was a balance of meat and fat, the noodles were satisfyingly chewy, and when the owner asked if we wanted our soups spicy, he meant it. I will definitely be back, considering I live a few avenues away, but this place would be worth an even longer trip.
