A great spot in Jersey City if you’re craving a big bowl of rice noodles without spending too much. Have been here a couple of times. I usually order the tofu rice noodles — the soft tofu with minced meat and pickled veggies makes the dish really rich but not greasy.
We also tried the Dai-style grilled chicken this time. The seasoning reminds me a bit of Southeast Asian flavors.
If you’re looking for a comforting bowl of noodles near Grove St, this place definitely hits the spot!

Ordered the Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, Smoked Pork Neck, Spicy Ox Aorta, Fried Stuffed Tofu, and Crispy Fried Milk. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The broth was comforting, the pork neck was tender with good texture, and the spicy dish had great wok aroma. Desserts were light and not too sweet. Great experience overall.

South of the Clouds brings the bold flavors of Yunnan, China to Jersey City . This cozy spot is a local fave for authentic rice noodles, flaky pastries, and crave-worthy dishes like truffle fried rice and sour/spicy chicken. As an offshoot of the acclaimed Manhattan location, it’s no surprise this spot’s got magic – think unique eats like Lotus Fries and Pu’er tea-infused goodness. Perfect for a night out or a cozy meal .

Great food. Loved the spicy stir fried chicken rice noodles. The octopus cakes were delicious. Highly recommend to try both of these. It is not busy so don’t mind just dropping in. I won’t recommend takeouts as it makes the food soggy and changes the texture. Definitely a must go.

I ordered little pot rice noodle and cold dish platter. It was nice to have hot soup in a cold day. The assorted cold plates were also tasty. Store looks spacious and clean. Waiter was very friendly. He offered me a complimentary dessert – sago with coconut. Overall recommend to try it out!
