Water Song Yunnan Kitchen
Here’s the short version: The food was wonderfully flavorful. A lot of cilantro and chili oil, so keep that in mind if you’re among the “tastes like soap” or anti-lipids crowd. Here’s the long version: We ordered 1) Soft Tofu Rice Noodles with pork 2) Roasted Pork Belly Ramen 3) Spicy Garlic Cucumber Salad 4) Sesame Balls 5) Yunnan Puer Hot Tea Pot 6) Xiao Long Bao 1) the soft tofu rice was delicious. Slightly sweet, faintly spicy, cilantro and chili oil heavy. If you’re like my wife, you’re fishing every morsel out of the broth and savoring the flavor. If you’re like me, you’re drinking the stuff by the end of the meal. The Tofu was soft (rather than the typical blocks of tofu) in an appetizing way, and it made for a good mixture/medley. 2) My ramen was also fantastic. I’m a fan of spicy, and I’m a fan of ramen. The noodles got pretty soft before I finished the soup, so keep that in mind if you have a texture sensitivity. I thought it was delicious, but if youre a save-the-best for last type and have a texture preference, you might have to tackle that part first. Same goes for the roasted pork. 3) Cucumber salad cut the flavors really well. It was a pleasant little palate cleanser. 4) Yes. Sweet, chewy but firm, excellent flavor profile. A lovely dessert pastry. We were scraping honey off of the plate. Ask me if I’m ashamed. (No) 5) We were warned that the tea would be sour. I guess? It tasted more like unsweetened green tea. Tasted wonderful to me, and sugar was an option to add. 6) I mean.. soup dumplings. They were perhaps somewhat small? I’d still say they were worth it flavor wise if you’re not doing a cost-value analysis (which I often am). Delightful food. Great presentation. Kind staff. 5/5 will eat again.
This was our second time here and both experiences were excellent! The service is great and the food is so good. The lemongrass pork and shrimp dumplings are a favorite. The long green pepper with pork was spicy and flavorful, perfect with the rice. The Kunming style sticky rice cakes were some of the best rice cakes I've had anywhere. They were soft but still chewy and the sauce was sweet and savory. Don't forget to try the pumpkin cakes for dessert!
