“ Ever since our favorite Chinese restaurant shut down, we've trying out local alternatives to find a new, regular replacement. Despite constantly driving past Yunnan Style Rice Noodle every time we drive down San Pablo, we never tried this place out until recently. We ordered to-go through Grubhub, and the order was ready and waiting for us timely when I arrived. Although I didn't dine in, the inside was very spacious with a lot of available tables to sit at. Ordered a Sliced Beef Fried Flat Noodle in Premier Soy Sauce and a Braised Eggplant with Grounded Pork. Both dishes came with a generous portion size, and were reasonably priced. The Braised Eggplant had a pleasantly surprising large amount of pork, rather than mostly eggplant as I would have guessed would be the case. The flat noodles, while good, weren't clumped together and could have been better prepared so they did not stick together in large globs. There is limited street parking directly in front of the restaurant, but plenty of street parking if you turn into the residential areas. ”
“ This is my go to schezwan restaurant. I've been back multiple times and have some dishes on rotation. All of my orders have been togo or delivery so no comment on the restaurant dining. Favorites are fried tofu, orange peel tofu, and the fried rice. Everything is cooked fresh and always hot. ”
“ Delicious hole in the wall serving piping hot bowls of Yunnan rice noodles and at reasonable prices. Ordered the pickled vegetable fish broth noodle and the tomato beef brisket noodles and both were very savory and satisfying. The sour vegetable fish broth is slightly numbing and just slightly sour which made it very appetizing to eat and there was also a good amount of fish fillets. The tomato beef brisket was another delicious broth full of tomato flavor and chunks of beef. The beef is a little tough but not bad. The rice noodles themselves are slippery and nicely chewy. Love the noodles! They have other Sichuan/Yunan entree dishes here too and they are all done well. I love their mapo tofu since it is one of the more authentic ones I've had, great taste of doubanjiang and numbing fragrance. Tried a few of their other stir fried dishes too and they are all great! ”
“ Hidden gem in El Cerrito :)! It's on a less busy area of El Cerrito which makes parking doable and getting in for a small to medium party easy. Such a good portion size for the price too! Usually the noodle soups are good for about 2 servings. The food was flavorful and came out fast. Great place for a quick sit down meal with loved ones! ”
