Yunnan By Potomac Noodle House strives to be an ambassador for the people and culture of Southwest China and add to the story of what it means to be Chinese-American through our lens on contemporary Yunnan cuisine. Not your typical Chinese food, the Soul Food of Yunnan is Mixian - a light and almost fluffy rice noodle - which is prepared with braised meats, rich broths and sweet, savory and spicy sauces (vegetarian options available). Other specialties include various small plates, handmade dumplings, bao buns, and satisfying desserts. Come experience the flavors of Yunnan through our unique menu, handcrafted cocktails, extensive beer, wine, & saké menu as well as a variety of non-alcoholic beverages like Pu'er tea and House Lemonade.

Yunnan is unfailingly great. Don’t miss the LǍONǍI POTATOES, which are perfectly pillowy soft with a crispy exterior and deliciously spiced. In other options Baked Potato Rice is excellent. Even Uncle Roger would be impressed. The MÓGŪ Shitake Mixian Noodles are an excellent vegetarian option. The Ube Rose Cheesecake and the Winter Rose Cheesecake are great options in desserts. Perfect light cheesecake with a delicious delicate flavors. Overall, a great experience. Will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful restaurant! My daughter and I had eaten here on a previous trip and it was the one restaurant that she requested again - to share it with my husband and son. Their food is not only delicious, it is artful. I have celiac and they do an excellent job keeping me safe from gluten. I enjoyed my Little Pot noodle bowl with radishes on the side. The rest of the family ordered a variety of dumplings to share and loved them. I wasn’t excited about the radishes until I tried them - they are surprisingly wonderful- and something i am still remembering fondly days later. The servers and host are all great - very welcoming - and careful with my allergy.

Delicious, incredibly sweet staff, creative menu, very comfortable atmosphere & great vibe. Try the dumplings & bao buns, they are my favorites! (Also it’s a great location & there’s always street parking, which is a big plus in old town Alexandria)

Celebrated a birthday with friends. Perfect in every way. Unfortunately they are moving from Old Town.. It will be a huge loss to our neighborhood. So sad to see them leaving.
