This place is great!! My friends and I have been coming here at least once a week for the past 3 years and they never disappoint. It's always filling, the food is authentic, the service is always goo, and their spicy soup is always spicy and on top of all that it's very affordable too.

This is different from the familiar Asian cuisines. The spicy rice noodle soup is not for the faint-hearted. It's powerful and authentic. To those who are not sure if you can handle spicy food, I suggest you try. Your tolerance of spicy can only grow and eventually you'll enjoy the subtlety. The hot and sour pickled soup base is also delicious. American might not be familiar with Asian way of this soup but I suggest you try. The spicy beef shank is very well made. It's a perfect appetizer.

Highly recommend the green peppercorn soup! Noodles were perfectly chewy and the warm soup was great for the cold weather!

Szechuan pepper fatty beef rice noodle soup is one of a kind! Sooo flavorful!!! Order this noodle everytime!

Such a unique dining experience! You choose your soup base and protein, then you're given noodles, and 11 different toppings to put into your boiling stone pot of hot soup. I got my usual order - tomato soup with beef brisket. Such a hearty and rich bowl! They were quite generous with the amount of beef, and I was absolutely stuffed after the meal. The servers were so kind and friendly too, and had the nicest smiles. They also noticed that we were running low on napkins and gave us more! Our water was also constantly refilled. The store is in Chinatown at a street corner, with lots of dessert options nearby. Definitely a casual lunch/dinner option with quick service!

My go to place when Im hungry in Chinatown! The service is fast and the food is worth the price, which is rare in Chinatown recently. We always order R08 and R16. The soup comes out piping hot with the sides of the toppings. The hot soup is always perfect for the cold weather especially when you want to eat hot pot! The R08 which is a hot and spicy soup gives you the perfect spicy burn down the throat when you drink it. The chicken wings are also good and pairs well with the soups as a side. Theyre super crispy which goes well after eating the soft noodles. They accept cash or venmo.

This is a cute spot In Chinatown at the corner of race street. They serve yunnan noodles which are basically deconstructed noodles. The soup comes in a hot stone pot and all the toppings and noodles are on the side. Toppings include a mix of vegetables like corn, lettuce, pickled vegetables and wood ear mushrooms and a few slices of ham, a quail eggs and fish cake. The soup and stone bowl are super hot so the meal is still piping hot after all the cold stuff is out in. Overall the soup was flavorful. The only complaint is that noodles had a bleachy taste to it. Service was standard. Overall a nice warm meal on a cold day

great place, nice quick hot soup. i forget the specific name but i thibk it is the spicy hot sliced beef soup in the stone bowl. I preferred this style vs the many separated sides/topping because i was too lazy lol. It is typically busy at night but was able to still get seated within 15-20 minutes The soup had an moderate amount of beef, lots of types of mushrooms, glass noodles. Medium spicy has a good amount of heat but not overbearing but I do enjoy spicy foods. They will caution you before getting a spicier level. The restaurant is p warm inside on a cold day. It also can feel a little. cramped but you can be in and out within an hour. The dishes come out pretty quick!

Overall: my go to whenever I'm craving spicy soup with noodles! Plus the setup with the lil plates are so cute. Been here several times and never disappoints :) Go to order: Sichuan or tomato soup base with beef or fish, plus all the other condiments!! So delicious! Service: average Asian service, can get a bit loud in here on weekend nights

Authentic Yunnan style noodles soup located in Chinatown Philadelphia, It's a chain originally from New York I believe. The name Shi Miao Dao is a transliteration and the meaning of it is "arrived in 10 seconds" which doesn't mean the food arriving in 10 seconds after you ordered but you can feel like you have arrived to Yunnan after 10 seconds of tasting the food. The most popular dish is of course the rice noodles, there's are different type of soup bases and toppings. For beginner I would recommend the chicken or beef, I personally love the spicy hotpot broth or the Sichuan peppercorn broth with fish fillets. They do prefer cash as a result there's a surcharge for card like many other places.
