MIAN completely blew me away. From the moment I walked in, the aromas set the tone for how good the…read morefood was going to be. I started with the house made chili oil dumplings and they were unreal. The dumplings were perfectly cooked and the chili oil with black vinegar was so good I ended up using it on everything. The staff was incredibly kind and happily gave me extra sauce when I asked. The spicy beef noodle soup was the standout. The beef was insanely tender and the broth was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. The noodles had great texture and held up well in the soup. I also tried the Chengdu zajiang noodle and loved it. The sauce had that numbing spice and deep flavor, and the egg on top made it even better. Every bite felt intentional and well executed. The pickled cucumbers deserve their own mention. Crunchy, tangy, and full of flavor, easily some of the best I have had, even better than Din Tai Fung. On top of all that, they offer great deals after 3pm with discounted noodles and half off beer. MIAN is easily one of the best noodle spots around and I would come back without hesitation.

This place definitely smacks; I'm always getting me some beef noodles with L1 (a littleeee spice) and M1 (a little numbing oil) and it's perfect for my dainty tastebuds. The service is usually pretty quick, but they do a lottt of meal-making during happy hour (3-6) so it's arguably a little slower then. The ambiance is pretty spare, with some placemats that explain mung bean soup and some lower-key Chinese decor throughout. It's a simple place, but it really does get the job done. I'll be back!

Both tasted amazing!! My kids ate them swiftly and left no crumbs. Both were seasoned well and the portion of crust to filling worked well for the pot pie. I especially love that they have a full menu of non-pork options (ground turkey, chicken sausage, etc...). This was my first time, but won't be my last!

The pot pie itself was good, though I was expecting more seafood. The gumbo seemed to contain mostly chicken and sausage, and I didn't notice much seafood. Because of that, I think I'll give the veggie pot pie a try on my next visit. For dessert, I had the peach cobbler with ice cream, and that was definitely a highlight of the meal, warm, flavorful, and a great way to end the evening. Overall, a solid experience with friendly service and tasty comfort food. I'd come back to try some of their other pot pie options.

I also love their tacos and the Tropical Banana Whip smoothie. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. What keeps me coming back isn't just the food--it's the atmosphere. There's always a sense of community when you walk in. I've enjoyed the live music, attended community meetings there over the years, and have had so many great conversations with people. It's one of those places where you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door. Simply Wholesome has been bringing people together for decades through healthy food, culture, music, and community. Places like SW are rare, and I'm grateful it's still here. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and check it out. You'll understand why so many of us have been coming back for years.

We ordered the chicken tenders, a burger combo, pastrami, watermelon wings, and fries, and everything was absolutely delicious. The pastrami was especially over the top amazing, and the watermelon wings were a huge hit! Everything was made fresh to order, and you could really taste the quality. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable and affordable, especially considering today's economy. What really sets this place apart is the customer service. The owner and his son were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. They made us feel right at home. If you're looking for great food, great prices, and amazing service, Slauson Burger is a must visit. We come from Las Vegas and will definitely keep coming back! Highly recommend!

They waiters always check on you, if you need a coffee refill, very kind and funny staff. The overall environment is very lively! Now let's get to the good stuff; the food was amazing! I ordered their turkey burger scramble which also came with two pancakes. There were other items that caught my eye, and I'll be more than happy to come back and try those other times. For this day I wanted to find something that included both sweet and savory items. It was the perfect thing to order, along with my iced vanilla latte.

I regularly order the Thai basil rice and chicken wings, and the flavor seems to vary from visit to visit. The dishes that originally made me a fan just haven't been hitting the same way recently. The pricing is also on the high side. I was surprised to be charged separately for fried rice and then again for vegetables without any protein included something I haven't encountered at other Thai restaurants. My most recent experience was especially disappointing when my order was incorrect, and I wasn't able to get a response from the restaurant until the following day. There's a lot of potential here because the food can be excellent when it's on point. I hope the restaurant focuses on consistency in both the kitchen and customer service, as I'd love to see it return to being one of my go-to Thai spots.
