Sharing Yunnan’s crossing-the-bridge tradition in Cary, North Carolina.
Our name comes from the ten seconds it takes for noodles to glide through perfectly heated broth. We’re proud to serve a beloved comfort food that spans centuries of storytelling in southwest China.
Ten Seconds was founded by a team who fell in love with Yunnan cuisine and set out to bring its crossing-the-bridge ritual to Cary. We honor the meticulous layering that makes each bowl so satisfying with small-batch broths, thin-sliced proteins, and fresh vegetables that release aroma and warmth with every pour.
Cary is our home, and the community shapes our menu. Every visit should feel like discovering a new story.
