A popular rice noodle shop at Burnaby’s Crystal Mall is closing for good after about seven years, with its last day set for mid-November.
Yunshang Rice Noodle posted a store closing notice on its door, which a Noms Mag community member (Lucas) spotted.
According to the notice, the Crystal Mall shop will stay open until November 14, 2026, and will officially close starting November 15 “due to business adjustments.”
“Saying goodbye to our Crystal Mall location is incredibly difficult for us,” the team wrote, thanking guests for their support over the years.
The location opened back in 2019, on the inner path of the mall.
Yunshang is known for Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, a dish from Yunnan, China.
The chain says its broth is simmered for 12 hours with pork bones, free-range chicken and Yunnan ham, and its signature bowl comes with 12 toppings.
The menu also runs into tomato, curry coconut, green peppercorn and Chinese sauerkraut fish versions.
The brand lists 17 locations across Canada, from Ontario to Alberta.
In BC, it’s down to two after this closure: 8100 Ackroyd Road in Richmond, and 5728 University Boulevard at UBC.
It’s been quite the year of changes for Crystal Mall’s food scene.
One Cafe opened a stall and then a second one, Money Food Ent., Hei Hei Rice Roll and Toppings InfiniTEA opened, Matcha Tea Lab arrived, and Ziway is on its way.
There’s no word yet on what’s taking over the Yunshang unit.
If you want one more Crystal Mall pot, the last day is November 14, and after that the closest bowl is in Richmond.
Yunshang Rice Noodle at Crystal Mall joins other recent Burnaby closures like Sugar Burst, Kingspark Good Food and Lattea at Crystal Mall.
