Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle (十秒到云南过桥米线） — Restaurant in Beaverton

Food is not good. Not even talking about authenticity, it's the poor practice of ingredient treatment. Spicy and sour cucumber: it's supposed to be "crushed cucumber salad". However, the cucumber is not slapped/crushed properly. There are several big chunks that still give raw bitterness and blandness in the center. Meanwhile, the sauce is way too salty. The first a few bites might be okay but afterwards, it gets worse to the level only salt can be tasted. The proper way to prepare is to crush (not making mesh nor small pieces, just slapping the cucumber well enough) cucumber well so every chunk has cracks for sauce to seep into it and so the taste will be consistent throughout every piece. The sauce should be prepared just a bit saltier because lots of liquid coming out of cucumber will dilute and balance it.

Pickle cabbage and fish fillet rice noodle: this soup should be flavorful and strong but the fillet still taste fishy, not in a good way. Even having a fillet with soup, that fishy taste is still too distinct to ignore it. Preparing fillet by sprinkling a bit salt and a bit cooking wine on it. Mix it well and let it sit for 3-5 minutes and then take the fillet out (don't use the wine and liquid mixture) so the fillet's fishy taste can be significantly reduced. Fried tofu in the soup is still stiff and hard around the corners. At the same time, they taste like a "fridge", like something stored in a refrigerator for very long time, which means the fried tofu came out frozen and had not been cooked long and thoroughly enough. Dried bean curd is in similar situation, not well cooked. Several layers were stuck together and taste bland. Apparently, those tofu products were put into the soup probably just before the meal was served so they are consistently tasted bad. Romaine lettuce (nor romaine heart) is definitely not suitable for this type of meal. Bok Choy is a better suit and it can be obtained so easily here in great PDX area. Romaine is probably composed of 95% water. There is no perfect timing to cook this vegetable in a soup. If romaine is put in right before serving, it's bizarrely "warm" and not having flavor. If it's boiled in soup for 2,3 minutes, it release pretty much all its water and it looks like a piece of green tissue. In between, it becomes soft but still tasteless. It only gets soup's flavors when it becomes "tissue". Lack of ingredients. I have tried quite a few places, even the one in New York City. This is the most expensive with fewest food ingredients. In other place, same meal "spice and sour fish" came with additional wood ear, corn, pickle cabbage, chives, peanuts and luncheon meat with about the same price 16-18$. Here, it's more expensive and fewer ingredients. If you would like to have the same, 20+$. Which is 15 - 20% more expensive...

Fantastic service and delicious food. My fam is obsessed with the tomato broth option, it's like someone made a broth of the most flavorful, delicious spaghetti sauce. I love the kimchi & green pepper broths. Each soup comes with the standard sides for you to add (tofu, fish cakes, quail egg, etc) and you can add extra sides like a soy egg, spam, extra noodles, and more. The soup is served boiling hot in a very hot bowl with a protective holder so if you're bringing kids just be aware and prepared to use a smaller bowl for them (we just reuse the noodle bowl once everything is ready). You can order using the table's QR code or the servers will come around and take your order. The QR code is super easy. My kids are desperate to try the bubble waffle but always change their minds once we sit down because they don't want to miss out on the soup (we have to go when they're huge hungry sometime and can fit it, lol!!) Pro tip, if you get one of the tomato, kimchi, or other spicy/colorful broths wear a dark colored top. We've had to do a lot of stain treatments on our white...

On our inaugural visit to the restaurant, we received a warm greeting from the staff and were informed that we could choose any available seat. They presented us with a menu showcasing various food options, complete with pictures and instructions on how to enjoy the noodles. To place our order, we simply scanned a QR Code and submitted it online.

Our food arrived promptly, and we had ordered the Original Crossing Crossing Bridge Rice Noodle and the Beef Brisket & Tomato Rice Noodle soup. The instructions guided us to first add the meat and lettuce, followed by the other toppings, and then wait for a brief "ten seconds" before digging in.

Our order consisted of:

Original Crossing Crossing Bridge Rice Noodle: The broth was exceptionally delightful, bursting with flavor while maintaining a light and enjoyable quality.

Beef Brisket & Tomato Rice Noodle soup: The tomato-based soup was a perfect balance of sweetness and savory notes, creating a satisfying combination.

Overall, we were extremely pleased with our chosen dishes and anticipate returning for...
