Restaurants We Love 🍜🌏
As the last Monday in May, we’re highlighting Yunnan By Potomac Noodle House — a modern Arlington restaurant celebrating the rich flavors and traditions of China’s Yunnan province. Owned and operated by second-generation Chinese American owner Shao B., Yunnan By Potomac brings regional Chinese cuisine to the DMV through comforting noodle bowls, vibrant small plates, and bold, layered flavors inspired by Southwest China.
🍽️ What to order:
• Grandma Pāroū Mixian Noodles — chicken bone broth with sous vide chicken breast, napa cabbage, pickled mustard greens, and gluten-free rice noodles
• Three Parallel Rivers Mixian — seafood broth with tempura soft-shell crab, grilled shrimp, jumbo lump crab, and Chinese chives
• Wood Ear & Mint Salad — a refreshing small plate with pickled bird’s eye chili, crispy garlic, Thai basil, and sesame
With an open kitchen, modern atmosphere, and menu rooted in authentic regional flavors, Yunnan By Potomac offers a dining experience that feels both comforting and adventurous.
