    Lychee Shrimp Balls (6 Pieces) & Yangzhou Fried Rice
    Bry N.

    Yooooooooooooooo! This place was supposedly Michelin-starred, and I've actually been here about three times now! It's a super simple, no-frills Chinese restaurant, and the menu used to be pretty limited. But I'm glad they've been adding more dishes because the extra variety definitely makes coming back more exciting! One of my go-to orders here has always been their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, especially for takeout. I'm a HUGE fan of tendon in my beef noodle soup, so I always load mine up with extra tendon. ‍ This time, though, we decided to dine in and try a few different things. The Chicken Soup was probably the weakest dish for me. It was very plain and mild--although honestly, I could see it being perfect if you're feeling sick and just want something warm, light, and comforting. The Yang Chow Fried Rice was definitely on the oily side... BUT let's be real, sometimes that extra oil is exactly what makes fried rice taste so damn good. The biggest highlights were easily the Lychee-Shaped Shrimp Balls and the Shredded Fried Chicken! Both were crispy, flavorful, and seasoned really well. The shrimp balls were especially fun because they actually looked like little lychees, and the crispy texture was on point. The shredded fried chicken was another standout--crunchy, savory, and one of the dishes I'd definitely order again. The Cucumber Salad was pretty mid for me. Nothing terrible, but compared to the shrimp balls and fried chicken, it just didn't stand out. Service was fast and super friendly, which is always a huge plus. The restroom was also surprisingly clean, and the restaurant has a very family-friendly atmosphere. Overall, this is definitely more of a simple, casual Chinese spot rather than somewhere you go for a fancy dining experience. But with the expanded menu, quick service, generous portions, and a few dishes that really hit, I can definitely see myself coming back again! Highlights: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, Lychee-Shaped Shrimp Balls & Shredded Fried Chicken Vibe: Casual, simple & family-friendly Would I come back? Absolutely--especially for that beef noodle soup with EXTRA tendon!

    Came at opening on a Saturday with a large group and were seated right away. QR code ordering has many pros and cons, as we discovered. It was great to be able to order at any time and send our food to the kitchen. The issue was that after we had already received our food, more and more and more food kept arriving at our table. None of us ordered the food. On the ordering site, you could see the inputted names/initials from people at our table that ordered and then a bunch of no name/initial orders. They took it away and had to adjust our bill quite a bit. It turned out that the iPad they had available for ordering takeout was attached to our table. Thankful that the servers took care of this once they realized what had happened. Now onto the food, dare I say this is one of the best spicy beef noodle soups I've had? It was incredibly flavorful, spicy, and delicious. Definitely could have enjoyed a few more pieces of beef. The beef roll was also very good. We also had the hot and sour rice noodle soup. That one wasn't as good. Mostly mala flavor, and that was overpowering but perhaps expected. The rest of the table got items like Yang Chow fried rice, fried donuts, and beef noodle soup. I would definitely come back to try more dishes.

    Amazing lunch! The steamed egg was a surprising treat! Better than a Korean steamed egg since it had diced meat on top and nice amount of oil to cut through the custard like egg. And I have no idea how they make noodles taste so flavorful without being greasy; really clean finish!

    I arrived during their lunch happy hour between 3-4:30 during the week. So I was able to get an appetizer, entree, and a drink from a fixed menu set for $20. I chose mapo tofu with 5-spice peanuts and a drink. The rice dish was flavorful, plentiful, and delicious! I was originally wanting to get my lunch fix from Jomaru but glad I got to try out Mian instead. The seating arrangements inside is why I chose a 4-star instead of 5-star rating. The seats are tightly put together with hardly any spaces in between. You can hear every bite people take and chew / swallow. The sound volume of children screaming and behaving inappropriately would make this place not adult diner friendly. Nobody likes a utensil thrown toward them -- well, at least I didn't. The server's attitude was also curt and not friendly. I get it she was trying to sit down and eat her meal with her daughter during the not so busy hours. Still rather unprofessional and makes no sense to take it out on paying customers like me. Good thing their food tasted great. But I doubt I would dine-in here again in the future.

    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.

    Steamed egg with minced pork

    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!

    Dandan Noodle (Popular) & Spicy Beef Noodles (Popular)

    I can't emphasize enough how absolutely delicious this place is. I love Szechuan style food and this place has got something unique. The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup is probably the best I've had compared to other places. The Dan Dan noodles were perfect and superb peanut flavor profile. The Spicy Pork Dumplings were so good and sauce was so unique and flavorful. Service was amazing and fast. Our server was so polite and kind. For someone who lives an absurd distance away, I would definitely come back!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Steamed vegetables

    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.

It's definitely a great spot for authentic Taiwanese food. It is very small inside and usually just 1 person working and the cook. :) Their menu has stayed pretty similar over the years, and they still have their "Economic Meals," which are basically lunch specials and such a great deal. I think they have some of the best popcorn chicken, which is listed as the spicy diced chicken. The spicy diced chicken, string beans, and mapo tofu are a must!! Those are always our go-to dishes.

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!
