Our mission · From the original restaurant site
An ambassador,
through the table.
This is the complete mission published by Yunnan By Potomac on its original website, now preserved inside the new experience rather than reduced to a source-link snippet.
A distinctive regional table
The province of Yunnan is a beautiful, diverse region in southwest China, offering a variety of unique flavors and textures in its distinctive cuisine—not your typical Chinese food.
The soul food of Yunnan is mixian: a slippery, light, almost fluffy rice noodle prepared with braised meats, rich broths, pickled vegetables, and sweet, savory, and spicy sauces.
Mixian at the center
As mixian is the bedrock of Yunnan cuisine, mixian noodle bowls are at the core of our menu. They are complemented by a variety of reimagined and seasonally inspired xiaochi small plates, bao buns, jiaozi dumplings, shaokao barbecue, tiandian sweets, and large-format Family Feasts.
