San Francisco Chronicle - The 9 best new restaurants in the Bay Area

“The specialty of this small, cafe-like new restaurant in the Richmond District is Yunnan’s famous crossing-the-bridge noodles ($15.50). A stone bowl of cloudy chicken and pork bone broth (or other variations) arrives at the table boiling hot. In a separate bowl are bouncy rice noodles, imported from the Chinese province. And many more small plates — with chives, quail egg, preserved cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, corn, yuba, shrimp, goji berries, ham and meat paste — arrive on a decorative wooden bridge. That serving vessel literalizes the story that the dish was created by a woman who crossed a bridge to visit her husband every day, carrying soup ingredients in separate bowls. Combine all the dishes in the hot, rich and silky broth — then cool down after your meal with an array of bubble teas (the owner previously ran a boba shop).” — C.P.
