Steamed egg with minced pork
Yuan Z.

Chinese noodle eatery with Sichuan chili spices. Returning customer here today with my teenage daughter. We came at lunch hour and were able to find a table right away and they have bar-table with tall bar stools by the window as well. We ordered the following dishes: The spicy beef noodle with medium spiciness-loved it! The steamed egg with minced pork-softly steamed egg with nicely flavored pork on top that came in a mug, loved it! The mung bean noodle cold dish- this is a new item, too spicy and won't order it again. The sweet brown sugar rice sticks-had better ones at other places. Prompt service. Will visit again for the beef noodles!

So Good!!

Amazing Authentic Chinese Cuisine from Chengdu and central plains of China can be enjoyed here at this little bistro restaurant in Artesia. Bring your appetite and family to enjoy the Big Game finale on Sunday afternoon at 13:30 pm today. They have so many delicious dishes for you to choose from here. Sweet savory and flavorful dishes made fresh to order and some items are about 20 minutes to prepare and served from the heart. Family friendly and two lovely ladies serving meals while their husband are cooking the food in the open kitchen next to the table. Nice clean kitchen and restroom and restaurant. Making everything delicious and fresh daily meals for your family. Enjoy the weekend and may Argentina win tonight.

The MIAN Artesia is probably the best version of the MIAN brand I've experienced. Friendly wait staff, good restarting layout and very clean were the physical highlights. The food was definitely the star. Although the menu is very similar other MIAN locations, Artesia had some items I haven't seen before which was a pleasant surprise. The execution of the menu was also superb beyond the other locations. Big flavors in everything we ordered made for an exceptional experience.

Spicy Beef Noodles
Ivin Y.

Their spicy beef noodles were everything! So much flavor and the meal itself gave such comforting vibes. They had lots of seating space inside the restaurant. The noodles came out quick too! Service was really efficient when we went. The parking lot is within a plaza with lots of other restaurants and cafes so it can get pretty busy with lots of cars in the lot, but luckily, there were lots of open spots when we went!

This place is fire! My friend & I came on a whim (I saw it pop up on Yelp and my friend said he had heard good things. It was a Saturday night and while the place was pretty full, we were able to score a seat pretty quickly. Shortly after we were sat, there ended up being a wait. Their entire ordering-to-table process is all done via your phone. There is a QR code at the table that you scan and it brings you to the menu. That is where you order. It knows your table number and as soon as you order, it is sent straight to the kitchen. We ordered a chili oil chicken plate as a starter plate and we both LOVED it. It had a perfect amount of spice (we ordered it as medium spicy). We also ordered two separate noodle bowls (one of them being their typical beef noodle bowl and a beef rib noodle bowl). We both agreed the typical beef noodle bowl was the best one and the broth had more flavor in general. I also ordered some take-out items in same menu to take back to my mom for dinner. It made this order towards the end our meal. My mom really liked what I ordered for her as well (shrimp rice and chicken noodles). I'd definitely come back! Very much a fan!

Super good customer service! Food was amazing, simple yet flavorful. Came during the World Cup and everyone was so involved, loved the atmosphere here.

Front: Dan Dan Noodles; Back: Spicy Beef Noodles
Nancy J.

We love spicy mala food and this was our first time trying Mian. There was no wait when we went on a Friday night ~8pm. You scan a QR code at your table to order and the food comes quickly, with minutes. For appetizers, we got the Rou Jia Mo (pork hamburger) and the pepper ribs. The Rou Jia Mo was fine, not really authentic with almost a puff pastry-like shell and no veggies. We enjoyed the ribs, which had a nice dry rub and came with delicious Sichuan dried chilies - would order this again. For noodles, we got the Dan Dan and Spicy Beef Noodles. The beef noodles were classic, while the dan dan noodles were lacking a bit in saltiness/flavor (was mostly just numbing). For all dishes, we got the highest spice level, and everything was an enjoyable level of spiciness. Here is a menu for reference (the menu in-person is larger and has many more new items): https://miantaste.com/mian-cerritos-menu/

Half way eaten Walnut Shrimp
Brock H.

Came back here after having for the first time a couple months ago, one of my favorite Chinese places! I'm a big lover of Walnut Shrimp and dumplings. Didn't order the noodles this time but they're delicious, especially the very spicy ones. The servers were kind and friendly, got seated immediately even though it was almost full. Shaggy was playing in the background, everyone was moderately quiet since most people had tables for more full then what we had. Very pleasant lunch or dinner experience. I highly recommend!

Mixed it before I remember to take a picture

Since they've opened in Cerritos, Mian has been in our rotation of places to dine at. The man usual would suggest it because he's craving beef noodle soup. Once you get seated, there's a QR code for you to look over the menu and order. To go boxes and napkins are available for you to grab in nearby stations. You'll pay with one of the servers. We've tried a lot of the items. The beef noodle soup is always a good idea if you don't know what to order. I'm not a huge fan of Szechuan chili - I really hate the numbing feeling you get when eating it because now I can't taste the flavor. Which makes ordering food appropriate for your kids a little difficult. Last visit, I ordered their new peanut sauce noodle bowl (not sure on the name of the dish), read the ingredients, it didn't say there were any spice to it. It turned out to be spicy. So just be aware and when in doubt, ask. We still enjoy coming in. Service is friendly. Food comes out fast too.

Orange peel chicken
Mallory J.

Came here for lunch after the mall, was very impressed :) everything was so so so yummy we got the beef noodle soup, orange peel chicken, cucumbers, and pork dumplings. Great prices and had lots of leftovers for 2 people.

Cherry blossom desert.
Zaiht G.

I came across this GEM a few weekends ago and I have been back every weekend since, the food is delicious. From my very first visit the waitress was so kind and it's now become that she recognizes my partner and I when we come in. It can get busy which is a sign of the good food. The wait time has never been bad and my experience has always been great. The restaurant itself is always clean especially the restrooms which says a lot about the restaurant as a whole, I'm so glad I found this amazing, delicious restaurant and I'm glad I'm now a regular. P.s. please bring back the cherry blossom dessert it was super cute and delicious! Dan Dan noodles are a must try.

Steamed vegetables
Tim H.

面 (MIAN) brings the bold, tongue-tingling flavors of Sichuan right to your table -- and with James Beard Award-nominated Chef Tony Xu at the helm, it's no surprise this spot packs serious flavor and heat. Food: 3/5 - A solid lineup with a few hits and some misses, but the freshness and noodle quality shine through. -Steamed Veggie 菜青菜 - Pretty bland, could use seasoning. -Crispy Cucumber 爽口黄瓜 - 4/5, crunchy with refreshing balance. -Sichuan Five-Spice Fried Peanuts 酒鬼花生 - 4.5/5, simple yet addictive. -Chili Oil Chaoshou 红油抄手 (Small - 小份) - 3/5, flavorful but I've had better versions elsewhere. -Tomato & Beef Rice Noodles 番茄牛肉米线 - 4/5, the noodles carry the dish--springy, chewy perfection. -Roujiamo (Freshly Baked 20 min) 肉夹馍 (现烤约20分钟) (cut into quarters 切成四份) - 3/5, decent but nothing standout. Service: 4/5 - Friendly energy across all three staff members. Quick to greet, helpful with menu picks. Parking: 4/5 - Easy to find with plenty of plaza spots. Plus, Bopomofo Café next door makes it a double-win foodie stop. Ambience: 4/5 - Clean dining space with spotless tables. The team's attention to tidiness really stands out.

Level 3 Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
Tina C.

The first time I had Mian was years ago at their Chinatown location in Las Vegas, and I remember thinking it was absolutely amazing. That location unfortunately closed shortly after, so you can imagine how excited I was when I recently discovered them again in Artesia, California. It was so good to finally have it again. My go to dish is their spicy beef noodle soup, along with the steamed egg with minced pork and crispy cucumbers as appetizers. I love spicy food, so I always order the level 3 spicy beef noodle soup, which is Asian level spicy and definitely not for the faint of heart. The broth is rich, deeply flavorful, and packed with heat. The noodles are perfectly chewy, and the beef is tender and satisfying. The appetizers are an absolute must. The crispy cucumbers are refreshing and full of crunch, making them the perfect contrast to the spicy soup. The steamed egg with minced pork is soft, savory, and comforting. Recently, they started serving the steamed egg in a small plastic container instead of the traditional cup, which I personally prefer, but the flavor is still spot on. My nephew loves their Sichuan style popcorn chicken, and my husband always orders their orange passion fruit iced tea, which is refreshing and well balanced. The prices here are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The only items I thought were just good, not great, were the desserts. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you are looking for solid beef noodle soups with excellent appetizers that really stand out. The decor is simple, you order through a QR code at the table, and the service is great. Definitely a spot I will keep coming back to.

The steamed egg dish had a thick layer of oil resting on top which seemed very excessive and could have been taken out.

* NOTE: I spent 3 weeks happily eating Taiwanese food at every meal in Taipei so I am a fervent fan…read moreof the cuisine. And prefer it over many other Asian cuisines.* The reason I chose M's Kitchen over two other Taiwanese restaurants in the area? So many more vegetable dishes! And wow, am I completely grateful I did! We arrived on a Saturday evening, and the server and chef were both in the kitchen. The server came over and gave us menus before getting our drink orders. She was prompt in a very caring manner without ever seeming rushed. She had lots of suggestions as we asked questions about the menu. At some point, the chef was sitting with us, and she asked him clarifying questions for us. She even went back into the kitchen to find out which vegetables were the freshest (which I appreciated)! We ordered a cup of ginseng and goji berry chicken soup, chicken cream corn soup (with egg), ong choy with garlic, walnut shrimp, crispy tofu, and green scallion pancake. As each dish came out, it felt like different instruments in an orchestra being highlighted as they wove into the tapestry of the music. The ong choy built onto the soup, the crispy tofu onto the ong choy and soup, and so on! Until there was this grand harmony of pulsating flavors and textures! I thoroughly enjoyed each dish! I only wish I had a bigger appetite so I could eat more and faster! The server helped us to pack the leftovers. We spoke about how traditional Chinese and Taiwanese food get lost in the mix of more modern and fusion recipes and restaurants. I am also a loving fan of mom and pop dining because it reminds me of the many meals I have been gifted by the parents of friends and friends who have opened their homes and hearths to feed and nourish me in my life. I love feeling like I am visiting someone's family and sharing a meal together. This is how M's Kitchen felt for me! I am planning how many meals I can have here and who I can invite to experience the deliciousness soon! Please consider visiting! Even if you haven't tried Taiwanese food yet, this is a wonderful spot to start with!

Wow, great lunch special and one of the best mapo tofu plates I've ever had!!!!!!!…read more Silken tofu cut perfectly, with some mala, a bit of tang, deliciousness and addictive numbingness in each bite. The perfect garlicky sauce, and such a generous portion for a lunch special. Their chicken and corn egg drop soup was delightful as well. It was piping hot, comforting, perfectly done. Their restaurant is impeccably clean and their sauce and seasonings come out per table, so those are spotless as well. I very much appreciate their detail here and their utensils were also spotless. It's so comforting to come here during a quick lunch for a fast and easy service, with a lovely lady up front offering exceptional kindness and hospitality. My food came out so quick! I will be back very soon and I'll have my friends and family with me. What a great spot!

Having lived in Beijing and eaten Uyghur-style food out in the streets and in established…read morerestaurants as I traveled around, I was unbelievably excited to find this restaurant near home. However, it left me wanting more. I do wonder about the plethora of high reviews, because from my standpoint of having had a lot of Uyghur-style food abroad and my husband who had never had any, this place disappointed in taste. Ambiance (3/5): It was large, brightly lit and clean, but being so empty, it felt kind of sterile in there due to the lack of air flow and a TV blaring Spanish infomercials. I think it would add to the mood if they played some light instrumental music. Service (3/5): There was one waitress the whole time we were there and other than taking our order, she didn't come by much. I had to go to her twice to ask for things, including asking about rice. It was weird that she let us order without letting us know that we had to order rice separately. Yes...unlike most Chinese restaurants that automatically serve complimentary rice with main course dishes, you have to order rice and it's charged per bowl. Yikes. Food (3/5): We ordered the spicy Sichuanese boiled fish, lamb skewers and popcorn chicken. Admittedly, the fish and chicken dish aren't very Uyghur, and for that, it's our fault. However, the fish just was not close to anything I've had elsewhere, and not in a good way. It wasn't that spicy and it didn't have that signature mala kick. It was also salty. This was probably the most disappointing. The popcorn chicken was called something else on the menu, but it was essentially a big order of what you'd get at a Taiwanese boba shop. My kids loved it but I questioned why we ordered boba shop food on a dish. If anything were to right the wrongs, I expected the lamb skewers to be perfect at the price for four and it being a major Uyghur specialty. While the smell of the spices was accurate, the chunks of lamb were dry and tough that even my husband who had zero expectations mentioned what I noticed. I'm giving this place 3 stars for it being a unique restaurant that tries, but at the price point and quality of food, we both didn't feel that it would be a place we would visit again. The empty restaurant during peak dinner hours might have been a hint. But if you have restrictions such as needing to eat Halal food, then this restaurant offers some different dishes, so that may be its huge plus.

What I Ordered: Juicy Pork Dumplings ($11.99)…read morePan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp dumplings ($12.99) Wonton in Spicy Sauce ($11.50) Chicken Fried Rice ($12.99) Dry fried string bean ($13.50) Orange Chicken ($14.99) Kung Pao Shrimp ($18.99) Dan dan noodle ($13.99) Beef roll pancake ($12.99) Spring rolls ($3.50) Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba Food: The Pan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp Dumplings. I absolutely loved the crispy bottom layer because it added such a satisfying crunch to every bite. The inside stayed really juicy and flavorful with a good balance of pork, shrimp, and chives. The Juicy Pork Dumplings had soup inside, which was rich and savory. I've had soup dumplings before where the wrapper breaks apart too easily, but these held together nicely while still staying soft and delicate. The Wonton in Spicy Sauce was my personal favorite from the entire meal. The spicy sauce flavor was savory with a little sweetness. I'm typically not good with spice, so this is at a spice level that should be very manageable for everyone. I absolutely loved the spicy sauce, so I started putting it on everything. Definitely put the sauce on the chicken fried rice! The Chicken Fried Rice was a great dish to pair with everything else that we ordered. With several orders of entrees, a solid rice dish is a must order for any Chinese meal. The rice had a nice savory flavor that I enjoyed, and there was a generous amount of chicken mixed throughout the dish. I even asked the waitress if they do anything special with the fried rice because it tasted better than many other restaurants. It felt comforting and balanced compared to some of the heavier dishes. The Dry Fried String Beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crispness while still being tender. The garlic and seasoning gave them so much flavor that it honestly didn't even feel like I was eating vegetables. I do have to note that these were very much on the salty side, so if you don't like foods that are too salty, I would choose a different dish. The Orange Chicken was really crispy and juicy, which I appreciated because soggy orange chicken is always disappointing to me. The sauce had a nice citrus flavor while still keeping that classic sweet savory taste. The Spring Rolls were simple with vegetable filling on the inside with a crispy outside. I would try a different appetizer next time. The Kung Pao Shrimp was packed with flavor and had a really satisfying combination of textures. The shrimp were tender, and the peanuts added a great crunch to the dish. I thought the sauce had a really nice balance of spice and savoriness without becoming overwhelming. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Beef Roll Pancake. The pancake itself was nice and chewy throughout each bite. The sliced beef with green onions and sauce all wrapped together made every bite really flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba. I really liked that the jasmine tea flavor was noticeable instead of being overly sweet like some milk teas can be. The boba had a soft chewy texture, and the drink itself paired perfectly with the spicy and savory dishes from the meal. Staff: All of the staff members were quick and friendly Ambiance: Indoor seating only. A good amount of parking in the parking lot that is shared with other shops in the plaza.

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the overall experience was better than I anticipated. The seasoning was a little strong, and some dishes had a fairly familiar, standardized taste. Nothing was bad, and everything was prepared well, but I do feel a little disappointed when the authentic flavors of traditional Chinese food become less noticeable. There were four of us, and we ordered about eight or nine of their most popular dishes. My parents really enjoyed the food. I have worked in China before, so I may be a little more sensitive and particular when it comes to Chinese food. Overall, the restaurant has good reviews, the prices are reasonable, and it was a pretty good dining experience.
