Yunnan By Potomac

At Yunnan By Potomac, we proudly serve as ambassadors for the rich tapestry of Southwest China, weaving together the heritage of Yunnan’s diverse peoples with the vibrant spirit of Greater Washington, DC. Through our lens on contemporary Yunnan cuisine, we aim to expand the story of what it means to be Chinese-American - one bowl, one bite, and one shared experience at a time.

Our menu highlights the bold, nuanced flavors of the region with a focus on freshly made dumplings, delicate Mixian (rice noodles), made-to-order Chinese BBQ, and handcrafted cocktails. Signature dishes like the Norwegian King Crab Mixian and A5 Wagyu Skewers showcase our commitment to premium ingredients and inventive perspectives on Chinese cuisine inspired by the Yunnan province, while a variety of shareable small plates invite guests to explore and connect over every meal.

Whether you’re a foodie, cultural explorer, or simply seeking an elevated dining experience with family, friends, or colleagues, our upscale casual atmosphere is designed for any occasion. As an Asian American-owned and operated restaurant, we take pride not only in honoring tradition but also in supporting sustainability, inclusivity, and community. Join us in celebrating the flavors of Yunnan - crafted with care, shared with love, and always welcoming to all.
