  Food : rice noodle soup w crispy meat: thick round rice noodles are chewy and delicious. They r slightly thicker than spaghetti size almost like bucatini thickness w/o hole inside. I love intestines. Has both crispy and soft intestines . Great texture.
  Cucumber salad has yummy sweet and vinegary soy sauce. Goes nice w the noodles. Large portions. 2 ppl can split an appetizer and noodles.
  I would like to try Lu mein mixed meat and cold noodles next time.
  
  Decor: average Chinese restaurant. Not too old not too new. Local Chinese eat here. Clean. 6,7 big round tables.
  
  Service fast. You come in and find a seat, order, pay at the counter when leave. Didn't give me water or tea. They don't seem to serve water or tea automatically unless asked.
  
  I'd come back for more food.

  This place is a must visit! It is super delicious and cheap. I have tried their  Cold Rice Noodle & Rice Noodle with Spicy Meat Sauce. Both were delicious & I preferred the Cold Rice Noodle. It had ground meat, cilantro, roasted peanuts, w/ sweet sour vinegar broth. It was so tasty & refreshing  at the same time. The Rice Noodle w/ spicy meat sauce was tasty but it was not as outstanding as the cold rice noodle. The rice noodle was soft, al dente & it had ground meat (did not taste spicy at all) w/ a clear broth that was very light in flavor. I had to add more chilli oil to make it taste even better.
  
  Staff was very nice, and some of the staff spoke English (besides Mandarin) so it helped a lot. Highly recommended! The items are huge, so for the price it was worth it.

  Wanted to try Yunnan cuisine, since my SO and I missed out 2 weeks ago while we were in Toronto. Decided to come here, and we saw that prices were very reasonable. Decided that we were here for the crossing bridge noodles, so we both got those. I've only had Yunnan cusine one other time back in Shanghai, so didn't have much expectations. Good to note that it's cash only.
  
  To conceptualize, I'd say the crossing the bridge noodles concept is very similar to pho, but better. I got the fish crossing bridge noodles, and my SO got the beef/lamb crossing bridge noodles. When we first got the bowl of noodles and plates of meat, etc., we were surprised at how big the bowls are (they're huge). Everything came raw, so we weren't sure what to do at first. When the broth came, the waitress was very nice and helped me put everything inside the broth bowl. I did notice that the broth for the fish one is clearer and richer, while the lamb/beef one had a lot more fine ground pepper (both very good). The meats were sliced very very thin, so it cooked pretty fast in the soup. My favorite part was eating the quail egg - the yolk is so good with the noodles. Only one I'm kinda unsure about is the black chicken - didn't taste much better than normal chicken.
  
  Would come again. The noodles are very good and filling, definitely worth the price.

  When it comes to hand pulled noodles, look no further. You're not coming here for the atmosphere nor the friendly service. I opted for the most popular item, the crossing the bridge noodle soup. The broth comes out piping hot!! I ordered the pork with black chicken.  It also gets accompanied by a quail egg, tofu skin, and scallion. The noodles are the star of the show, thick bouncy and chewy fresh noodles. This is a great place for a quick, fresh bowl of noodles.

  Yun Nan Flavor Garden is hands down one of my favorite noodle soup places, not just in Brooklyn, but anywhere.
  
  The crossing the bridge noodles are okay, but I've had better versions elsewhere. The prep is fun to watch but it's boring compared to their other options. The cold spicy noodles are quite good and perfect for the summer. The hot and sour dumpling noodle soup? Amazing and what I order 99.99% of the time. The soup is so tangy and full of very strong flavors, like hot and sour soup but amped up to the next level. The dumplings are meaty and tender, and the noodles have just the right amount of firmness. This noodle soup is wonder, joy, and satisfaction in a bowl.
  
  The interior is pretty bare-bones but clean. Sometimes they blast the A/C, especially in the summer, so it feels good for five seconds and then you're freezing for the remaining 30 minutes. They don't give you water unless you ask for it. You pay for your meal up front.
  
  Nothing satisfies my just-got-back-from-a-trip cravings like this place.
