Food tastes okay here - but nothing about it sets it apart from other Yunnan noodles places in the bay. Service can be slow during busy lunch hours - so don't come here if you need to hurry up and go somewhere else. The layout for the restaurant is a bit poor - you need to pay up front where they have guests waiting to be seated. It becomes a bit of confusing who's there to pay vs. waiting for a table. Not sure why they don't just allow payment at the tables and let you leave after. read more

My family and so visited CloudDish a week ago and I really enjoyed the food and experience. The restaurant is not too large and nice and cozy especially for colder days. The seating is pretty tight and tables are a bit close together. The staff is very kind and helpful. They seem to be working kinks out since the restaurant is relatively new but they are doing a great job in general. They have a very creative way of presenting the noodle soup dish which is very fun and engaging. Their main special is the yunnan rice noodle which is delicious! The dish come out in 3 parts. There's a large plate of ingredients and condiments that comes on a large straw plate. These condiments include quail egg, fish, pork, mushrooms, and other various toppings and garnish. The 2nd part is the broth that comes in a really large bowl that sits on a wooden stand. You are supposed to put in each of the toppings and condiments one by one right when it comes out so they cook properly. There is a specific order all the sides go in and it's labeled on the plate of toppings so make sure to pay attention when it gets there. Lastly the bowl of rice noodle goes in at the end and Voila! Your noodle soup is ready!! It's a fun process but some people find it confusing and want it all put together already before it's brought out. You can request for the noodle soup all to be put together for you beforehand. Just make sure you let the waiter or waitress know. The noodle soup overall was very tasty and filling. I would say the portion size is a bit large but they recommend one soup per person. We got a few other items on the side including the woodear mushrooms, fried crueler, beef cold cut. These were decent and tasty. Definitely would recommend for people to give them a try! It's a great new addition to our community! read more

It was very recent that I first discovered Bridge noodles here and let me tell you I am a fan! I didn't know this was what it was in my head. I imagined it to be different so I'm glad I tried it. Parking was OK and we came on a weekend in the evening weight wasn't too bad for a party of two. They are not that suspicious on the inside and tables do get filled very fast. You simply order via a QR code and then they bring it out to your service is very minimal in terms of contact with you. It's a little bit harder if you had questions or if it's your first time coming here. Their menu is pretty small so it's not too hard to decide however, if it is your first time, you might have a few questions. The aboriginal is definitely what I recommend although I think it comes into options one for you to put in all the ingredients versus the second option, which is everything put in already if you're looking for Insta worthy, definitely go with the first option. Prices are very reasonable and portions are huge. Everyone gets their own portion, which is very very filling and I love it. read more

It's definitely the best Yunnan noodle in Bay Area. Some restaurants' noodle is too hard, here is perfect. My kids are picky on food, but they really love the noodle here. Especially, it's very traditional and add the meat in the hot noodle soup yourself. It's not just a delicious food, but also a cultural experience for kids. We came here almost every week. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing food and great service! The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were perfect, and the ingredients were very fresh. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly. One of the best Yunnan Crossing Bridge Noodles I've had. Highly recommended! read more

We stopped by and was curious to try yunnan style Chinese food. We tried their house specialty noodle dish. All the ingredients are laid out on a circular platter, and hot noodles are cooked. The broth comes out separately in a stone pot and the server helped us put everything in. Egg first, then start with the veggies into the broth and move clockwise to move the ingredients into the broth. Finally add in the noodles! The broth was really delicious. It comes non-spicy and I added some of the table chili oil to make it just right for me. The meats it come with is two pieces of chicken, a shrimp, cuttlefish, and some slices of fish and a piece of meat. It was good to try, and I'm glad we stopped by for a meal. Another good addition to the plaza! read more

If I had to choose a Chinese restaurant, I would definitely choose this place. The food tastes just like home--just like it came from my own kitchen. read more

I've visited this place several times, and the rice noodles are always great. I usually go for the classic cross-bridge rice noodles, and the chicken ham bone soup is incredibly delicious. I've also tried the small pot rice noodles and cold rice noodles. The cold noodles are sweeter, while the small pot noodles are richer and spicier. The portions are generous--one serving is enough for two people, or you can add a bowl of plain rice noodles to the soup, which is also plenty for two. The papaya jelly drink is fantastic, and I always order it. read more

This is the most authentic and delicious food. The service is so good. The owner is also generous and always happy. Every time we go to the Livermore outlets we go to eat at this restaurant. The restaurant is clean, the bathroom is always clean, and the service is fast and kind. A perfect place to bring the family or a date. Don't miss this delicious restaurant. read more

TLDR- shorter male cashier made experience traumatic by arguing that it's the customer's fault when served incorrect food My post is only about the service we had at the cashier by the man who looks like the manager. We ordered a pastry that supposedly had roses in it. The waiter dropped it off and we proceeded to open up a plastic package to get to it. Upon splitting it in half and tasting it, I noticed it didn't had any rose flavor. That's when I relooked at the package. After asking the server what exactly we ate, he said he took the wrong floral pastry but since we ate it there was nothing they could do. (All packaging had a flower on it. Very light font Chinese characters.) We did enjoy the pastry so proceeded to try and purchase more of the floral pastry that had Jasmin in it. But found it was nowhere to be found on the online ordering menu. I approached the cashier to show him it was not there. He said back to me that we already ate it and it was the same price as the rose pastry. (Attached are photos of the pastry section showing no other floral pastries except rose.) As a customer, I would not know what the price is without seeing it on the menu. And then he blamed it on me that I already ate the pastry. I proceeded to tell him, if a customer was allergic or had issues, they wouldn't even be able to tell medical personnel what they ate. He then said "oh well I can give you your money back". And kept muttering to my mother and I how it was just $5.50 and that we made a big deal out of nothing. After trying to let him know it wasn't the money that made us angry but his response and attitude towards solving the mistake. The issue was "it's your fault because you ate it so there's nothing I can do." Does that mean as a customer you expect us to confirm we got what we ordered before consuming it? At the end, we still purchased some more of their other imported pastry products. But this cashier kept on saying stuff and ultimately told another waitress to help us checkout. He didn't even want to be part of finishing up the payment process at this point. Yet he stood over her shoulder continuing to say it was our fault and that it's not worth it over $5.50. I agree it's not worth it. It's all principle and maybe naive expectations that a restaurant would not serve incorrect food and expect the customer to find out before eating it, but I'd never want someone else to have to experience the same service and deceived. The food was actually fresh and cooked well. The other waiters were food. Tipped 15% because I really couldn't give more since he just really made lunch a terrible experience. read more

Too expensive 1 person sit down menu check out with tips almost $30, just a bowl of noodle soup, nothing fancy or impressive. Nah

Hands down our favorite place to get Chinese noodles soup (try me!) This is special type of cuisine , from Yunnan area. They are famous for particularly umami chicken broth rice noodles （云南过桥米线） and fresh mushroom dishes. The way to eat it it's also very interesting: they serve a boiling hot chicken soup that comes in special bowl, and various toppings ( all thinly sliced) in a big plate, then we add the ingredients into to the hot soup, and everything cooked with hot soup in seconds! It's my way to do comfort food :) Give it a try and you won't be disappointed read more

TLDR: IF you're in the area AND you love Chinese Rice Noodles (Mei shein), then this might be a 5 star place. However, we are from the South Bay. And it took nearly an hour to get here. We tried to make a day-trip of it, with a quick shop at the nearby outlets. But still... our primary destination was to try this place. It's not worth the hour trip. IF you live up near Pleasanton, then I would say it's worth going. My wife is the main expert here, as Rice Noodles is her thing. They give you a HUGE clay bowl of the noodles. Maybe mine was the large size? I dunno. The menu is mostly in chinese, and online, so I just had my wife order for me. All I know was I got a BUCKET of noodles, with a variety of proteins and veggies and stuff. I'm not much of a soup guy, so I'll say the broth was good. My wife's broth on the other hand was a bit spicy. Not TOO spicy that I can't handle it (and my tolerance is low low low), but a bit too spicy for my wife, who had a cold sore. So we pretty much swapped dishes. She says the noodles are chewy and springy. And she clearly liked my broth a lot. The place is on the corner, so it is bigger than most. Unfortunately the center doesn't seem to be doing so well... I saw a LOT of empty store fronts. But the wait staff seemed friendly, and it's very WINDOWY, so the place is very bright, during the day. I think if we spent more time up here shopping and what-not, this could be a good place to get some tasty noodle soup. read more

Nearby dim-sum restaurant was doing remodel and we tried to find a good one nearby. Good surprise to find this one! Once we got in, I was impressed with the super big bowl of noodle on one of the customers' table. We decided to order the exactly same noodle; only worried about if we could finish it. It turned out that even it looked big, the portion was good enough with varieties of items, very fined slices of fish filets, yellow chicken slices, and some vegetables. The broth is tasty and fresh. A recommend good stop while visiting S.F. Premium outlet . read more

I absolutely love their Yunnan style rice noodles. The beef cold platter is also delicious, especially with the dipping sauce that comes with it. For the Crossing Bridge Noodles, you can choose to have the ingredients cooked in the kitchen instead of adding them yourself, which is super convenient. The service is also very attentive. read more

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. Came here for Sunday lunch. There was a bit of a wait, around 15 mins. This appears to be a more casual eatery with a limited menu. Water, napkins etc was self-served at a counter. We tried two different bowls of noodles and the Raksha Ghost Chicken appetizer. Raksha Ghost Chicken - I was expecting it to be pretty hot but the level of spiciness was acceptable. There was a good amount of chicken as well as shreds of onions, cilantro etc. The dish was pretty tasty. Yunan Traditional Cross Bridge Rice Noodles - This was definitely the highlight of the meal. I'd definitely come back for this dish. The chicken broth was pretty intense, it was kind of cloudy as opposed to a clear broth. There was a piping hot bowl of broth, ingredients served on a big plate/platter and the noodles in a bowl. The platter had numbers indicating the order of which the ingredients should be put in. The noodles was soothing and yummy. Small Pot Pork Rice Noodles - The broth was slightly spicy and sour. There wasn't much ingredients with the noodles, just a small amount of minced meat and green onions. We'll try something else next time. Overall, the quality of the food was pretty solid. The Yunan Traditional Cross Bridge Rice Noodles is definitely a must-try. read more

When I saw this new place opened near my house, I HAD to come try it! We ordered the Yunnan Traditional "Crossing-Bridge" Rice Noodles ($19.99), one that had the ingredients cooked in the kitchen in the soup, and the other one came with a big plate of various meat and veggie ingredients to be added into the hot soup. CAUTION: the bowl is VERY HOT! The whole set up was very cute and it was fun to add all the ingredients in, and they did all get cooked thoroughly in the hot soup. This dish was DELICIOUS! The noodles were very chewy and they gave the perfect amount, and the broth was thick and very chicken-y, but I do wish they gave more veggies and meat. Overall, the interior feels very nice and bright and all the flooring, lights, and furniture looked pretty new (might've been set up from the last business that occupied the space). However, I did wish their waiters were a bit more attentive, because when we needed something, it was REALLY hard to get help. I also had to ask for the same thing multiple times. But I would definitely visit again! One thing to note is that we ordered vis the QR code which takes you to the menu and an online ordering platform that allows you to keep adding on items even after submitting the order, and you can choose to pay at the register or via the link. read more

DONT COME! THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE! Not the worker but the owner or supervisor. He was yelling at customers and his employees. He was being rude to the customer whenever they asked how long it'll take for a table or where they can put their name on the waitlist. The food is not even good! I feel bad for the workers there. The restaurant was clean and had a parking lot outside. Never coming back if this is how the owner or supervisor treats the customer and workers. read more

Ate lots of Chinese local food, this Cloudfish Yunnan local food is one of the best,recommend absolutely!

VERY MID AND OVERPRICED. I don't really understand the hype, came here because we went shopping at Livermore outlets and saw a long line of people outside. First off, $20 for a half bowl of noodle soup?! We got the yunnan traditional crossing noodles and the bowl was massive and it was literally half filled. The soup was good and savory but for the amount you're paying it wasn't anything to write home about at all. You're better off going to top pot across the street to get your fill. We ordered the ghost chicken and it was extremely salty. Waaaay too much fish sauce and it was shredded chicken breast no thigh fat pieces or skin. Unimpressed. Don't recommend this place and don't understand the hype. Service and staff were nice tho read more

New noodle place in the Pacific Pearl plaza! This restaurant's got competition in this plaza but their food stands out delicious! Traditional Cross bridge rice noodle- You have the option to add the side dishes at your table, or have the kitchen put all the ingredients in the noodles for you. We made the mistake to check the 'kitchen cooked' option when ordering and miss out on the fun part of adding each ingredient into the bowl table-side. The noodles is very hot and the stone bowl maintain heat well. I absolutely love the soup base! Taste very 'chicken'. It is on the saltier side though. Braised pork rice noodle- This is quite spicy for me since I cannot tolerate spice well. The spiciness actually overpowers the noodles, and I can't taste much of the pork or the broth's original flavor. Love the texture of the noodles, it's not soggy, just perfect. Interior is quite small, with 5-10 tables. Definitely will need to wait at rush hours. Once seated, service is fast. However, the servers mostly bring food to your table and are too busy to help with your other needs. The price of the noodles runs between $15-20, which is on the pricier side for noodles. The flavor profile is on the salty/ spicy side. Quality is good, but given the wait, service, and price, probably won't come here too often for noodle soup cravings! read more

All taste as good as before except, except for the soul of its brand dish: 过桥米线, the rice noodle. We ordered three. The noodle bowls are pretty stale and no QQ feeling anymore. And they are kind of lukewarm not hot and just leftover noodles with re-heated in hot soup. If not super hot, the grade will go down very fast. Feeling sad and a bit disappointed. Hope they can keep the initial quality in every details. We will still recommend to friends but warn them about this experience. Cheers boss! read more

CloudDish is a Chinese restaurant that specializes in noodle soups. Located in Stoneridge Mall, it's surrounded by other Asian businesses. We saw this place when we were in the area for lunch and saw that it was new. Deciding to be adventurous, and wanting noodle soup in the first place, we decided to give it a shot! FOOD For our visit, we got the Yunnan Traditional "Crossing-Bridge" Rice Noodles and the Braised Pork Noodles. The noodles are the same and I believe the base broth is also the same. Noodles are very fresh and the base broth has a lot of flavor in it. I couldn't help myself for just drinking the broth. If you want to add some spice to your noodles, they have chili oil on the side as well. The "Crossing-Bridge" Noodles has an option to have all of the toppings on the side or added in. We made a mistake and had them put them in, so we missed out on the pictures! After adding everything in, the broth is a little spicy, but unless you are super sensitive, you won't taste it. Lots of variety in the toppings. The bowl served is also very hot so the noodle soup will never go cold, but just be careful. The Braised Pork Noodles has two types of pork in it and also has spicy oil added. The added spiciness isn't too much and the spicy oil added additional dimension. I prefer the "Crossing-Bridge" Noodles over this, but this dish is still very good! SERVICE Standard Asian sit-down restaurant. When you go into the restaurant, if it's full, the server will ask you to put your name on the list. They will seat you when you are ready. Order via QR code, they print out what you order and tape it to your table, and then bring your food out when it's ready. When you are finished, take note of your table number and pay at the front. I do like that they have good utensils and napkins at the table. They have both soup spoons and ladles at the table as options. Only gripe I had was that the water cups are small so I finished it quickly. The servers don't really check on you, so I didn't bother asking for additional water. Servers are also fully masked like a lot of Asian-run restaurants. COST For the two noodle dishes, the bill came out to about $40 after tax and tip. Not too bad considering that the noodle soups are pretty large and have diverse toppings and will leave you full. SETTING Interior is well lit to help those food pics and very clean. They have about 8-10 tables inside, including two long tables that can be split to accommodate 2 parties or 1 large party. We had to wait about 10 minutes when we got there for a weekend lunch at noon. Parking might be difficult on weekends since this a popular area to eat and get your 99 Ranch shopping done. Perfect for a casual date. Overall, this is some quality noodles for an affordable price. If you are in the area, I'd give them a try. 4.25/5 read more

A very tasty boiling hot noodles, it smells like it has some fish sauce in it. The ghost chicken is a must, it tastes like a Thai dish that is a bit sour and little spicy. The spicy wood ear and pig ears has no surprise there, covered with hot chili sauce. In my opinion, it tastes better than the 10 seconds Yunnan noodles. You can ask all the ingredients be cooked for you in the noodles beforehand, it saves me time and the soup is hotter. read more

We tried the famous "crossing bridge" rice noodles, pretty authentic & favorable. They took over the old Snowflake spot which is the 1st store you see when you drive in. Place is not big, but comfortable. Crossing Bridge - good flavor, you can taste the extra black peppers in the broth. Everything come out separate (see pic). If you look closely, there is actually #s & arrows on it indicating which ingredient to put in broth 1st. Egg, meat, veggies then noodles. The piece of ham is so skimpy, lol. Wooden ear - mixed with aged vinegar. Very balance btw the sweetness & sourness. Tasty! Beef jerky - beef is tender & the dipping sauce is tasty. Go well with the beef. Will def going back to this place to try the rest. TIPS: - Go early to get seat, get crowded quickly - scan qrcode on table to place order read more

This store took the spot of Snowflake, which used to make yummy desserts. The restaurant now serves a delicious variety of rice noodle dishes/soups. The vibe is casual but clean and classy, and the service is great! The portions are also pretty big. I tried the pork rice noodles which were slightly spicy but had great savory flavor! The black sugar rose papaya ice came in a cup and straw, but was still refreshing and not too sweet. I've never heard of crossing bridge noodles before, but I appreciated all the different ingredients that represent the Yunnan cuisine. The broth is savory (like ramen) but not too heavy/rich. I would absolutely come back just for this dish!! read more

Food not bad. Service not that good. If you don't know Chinese, you might have problem ordering.

The customer service here is great- and you order from a tablet and then they bring you the food. The ambiance is nice too. The issue is that it is often really crowded so be prepared to have close seating. Also, they bring you all these beautiful components for your noodle dish, and you may not want all of them,but you're paying for them anyway, and you don't get much of anything as a result because you instead get a lot of many things but small portions. I also wish the menu was larger, it seems somewhat limited. They charge a lot for what you get but I appreciate the good customer service. If you have questions on the menu, they will help you with it too (it is definitely a more ethnic restaurant). read more

It's a great place. As a legit Kunminger it's always nice to taste something really similar to what I used to love. The food is very authentic. A regular cross bridge rice noodles is $19.99 which is absolutely overpriced. I get it it's authentic but this shouldn't be the reason for getting overcharged. Shame on other Yunnan restaurants if they couldn't make their food authentic but in my opinion authenticity is a basic requirement not a plus or a reason to charge more. Service is ok. They're very busy at lunch time so I understand. read more
