Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Authentic, Comforting, and Fast – A Hidden Gem!

I absolutely loved my experience at Ten Second Yunnan Rice Noodle! The concept is brilliant — hot, flavorful broth served bubbling fresh, ready for you to drop in your own ingredients and enjoy within minutes. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience.

The rice noodles were perfectly soft and silky, the soup base (I chose the spicy beef broth) was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. The portion size is generous, and the side toppings — like quail egg, tofu skin, and pickled vegetables — added a wonderful texture and variety to each bite.

What impressed me most was the freshness and quality of every ingredient. The noodles were smooth and springy, and the vegetables retained their natural crunch. The meat was tender and infused with the flavor of the broth within seconds of cooking. Not only was the dish delicious, but the presentation also made the meal feel...
