What They Say About Us
At South of the Clouds, our guests often tell us it’s like stepping into Yunnan itself. From the rich aroma of truffle rice to the comfort of our handmade desserts, every dish tells a story and every visit leaves a lasting impression.

I finally found my favorite spot for Yunnan style rice noodle soup in NYC!! Loacted near NYU, South of the Clouds is an authentic spot serving up Yunnan specialty dishes.
At my first slurp, I was amazed by how delicious and comforting their rice noodles were. I was so tempted to go back and try out all the soup and dry mix mixian. I found they also have a new location in Jersey City

Ordered the beef soup while some friends got the specialty and smaller ones. Overall pretty good but they could have more flavor as they were a bit bland without the chili sauce.
We came a bit later near closing at around 850pm and closing was 930pm. We had to rush since the restaurant closed soon and they seemed strict on the closing time so we took the food to go. Overall the service was fast and got things done.
I never had Yunnan food before and this was a lovely first time! The Signature Yunnan Crossing Bridge is a must-order dish. It is their popular noodle soup dish which comes with so many different toppings including proteins like chicken, pork, beef, and fish. The soup is hot and heartwarming and the noodles are thin and slippery.
To cool down after all the spice, I got the lemon Yakut drink, which was super refreshing w a hint of sparking lemon w a splash of milk.
For dessert, the crispy fried milk was a pleasant surprise, don’t forget to dip it in the sweet condensed milk. The coconut pudding reminded me of what I would get at a dim sum restaurant.

The tofu was fried with a light crispy coating and came with a fermented tofu dipping sauce which had a great umami flavor! The noodles had very rich and flavorful broths and was packed meat and veg.
Yunnan 雲南 or South of the Clouds (which is what the name for the Chinese province means) is a place I have been meaning to try for a long time. So today, we did, and having had a lot of food from various regions in China but never Yunnan, this was a wonderful and interesting experience.
