Ten Seconds Rice Noodle 十秒到过桥米线 — Restaurant in Portland

Visited the new Ten Second Noodle location. I’ve enjoyed this restaurant before, but this visit felt a bit off.

Food: I ordered the B4 (Tomato Soup). It was warm and comforting, but not as flavorful as I remembered (3/5).

The beef brisket was very tough with too much cartilage, which made it hard to enjoy.

That said, the topping selection was excellent. I picked everything I could within my dietary restrictions, and it was all fresh and tasted great.

Overall, not quite as good as my first time, but still some high points.

Service: This part was disappointing. I was in a rush and asked if I could order before the rest of my group arrived, but was told to wait at the table for the server. By the time we were helped, everyone had arrived and we ordered together. Unfortunately, that delay made me late enough that I had to skip an important meeting.

Ambiance: The space is clean and modern, with a good layout for both groups and casual dates.

I still like this restaurant overall, so I’ll chalk this up to a possible off day. Might give it another try, but I’ll plan for more...

The place is clean and service is good.

Popcorn chicken $9, it’s all meat pieces, with kind of a curryish flavor. One of kids liked did the other didn’t care for it.

Prices I think are very reasonable. $18 a person min I got the A2: in case the kids wanted to try some, unfortunately it was tasteless. You could taste a little flavor but it lacked everything. Comes with tiny little portions of things to put in the soup, including a quail egg, one small shrimp, and other thingys.

It was good to try but I wouldn’t come back just for this. It was ok-ish.

Oh and the lemon green tea is more of a lemonade I...

Had an amazing meal at this new restaurant!! Ambience is super nice inside and everyone was so friendly and helpful. We ordered the chilled cucumbers which were perfect on spice and peanut ratio. We also tried their golden buns which were baked perfectly and came with a side of condensed milk. For main dishes we got the Hot & Sour Pickled Pepper Soup and Pork Bone Broth, both came with a portion of brisket as well as corn, tofu, egg, seaweed, ham, scallion, and a shrimp. Everything was super tasty and we had a lot of fun creating our 'ten second' soup, can't wait to come back and try some...
