Got their signature soup noodles and the noodles were very meh, texture and taste were like those usual store bought machine made dried noodles/instant noodles. Broth was interesting actually and pretty tasty. A lilll bit salty and almost tonkotsu like. Got their pickled veggie and pork steamed buns, the filling was a bit odd in that it was entirely pickled veggie and I wasn't even sure it had pork? Other than obviously tasting the oil. They were also not steamed all the way through... either that or they were left sitting there for a while. For a chain that literally has mian, the noodles/flour character as their name, definitely did not seem like noodles or flour products were their specialty. Also having the Michelin sign at their door was confusing as I couldn't look up if this exact location got a bib gourmand but believe it was a diff location. Interior was very nicely decorated and clean. read more

Accidentally stumbled upon this place during their soft opening. I was planning on going to the wings place next door but Mian was very crowded so we decided to give it a shot. Im glad we did. I was pleasantly surprised. We got the dry zhijiang mian and the chilli wontons. Both were packed with flavor and very delicious! The wonton sauce was a little too salty but besides that, it was great. Wish the noodles had more bok choy. Service was okay. We had to ask for water because they didn't serve it to us initially. Ambience is pretty decent. It's clean and they have bamboo chairs. It's a nice casual dinner spot. read more

Mian - Noodles Near Me - Milpitas, California

We came here for the grand opening special: 40% off noodles on Saturday. We got seated within 5-10 mins around 5:30 pm. The restaurant is pretty spacious. Dishes came out pretty quickly. The spicy braised beef noodles were delicious, though 'mild spicy' wasn't spicy at all. The noodle texture was perfectly chewy. My MIL said the zhajiang noodles were a tad too salty and too hard (but I suspect that she generally prefers softer than al dente noodles). My kids enjoyed their noodles, especially the mee goreng. Would come back again for noodles and to try some of their other dishes! read more

Was going into this thinking it would be kind of mid. I ordered the pan fried pork buns, spicy braised beef noodle, sichuan fried fries, and the soy milk. The spicy braised beef noodle was what I expected it to taste like. Kind of like a vietnamese beef stew taste. It's pretty good. Dipping their fresh dough sticks into the soup was incredible too. The pan fried pork buns were something I did not expect. The bun was slightly thick and sweet, and inside of it was a pork filling that was very juicy. Definitely would get this again. The sichuan fried fries were also very crispy and kind of remind me of another crinkle cut fry from another fast food chain but done 10 times better. Lastly, the soy milk was great. It was warm and sweet and that's all I have to say. Everything is affordable, delicious, and worth the price and I would definitely come back here again. read more

Excited to have an outpost of this restaurant closer to me, although this one sadly does not have Stan's Donut next to it. Strong four stars though I'm rounding up for consistency, cleanliness, and ability to find parking on weekends (unlike anything at the Ranch 99 plaza). All my favorites in one place: soup dumplings, beef roll, beef noodle soup, pan fried buns, Chinese donuts, and soy milk, etc. I do have a favorite version of all of these items at a different restaurant, but usually that particular item is the only strong thing at the restaurant. Here I can have a very decent version of everything in one place. Loved the steamed egg and pan fried buns especially, but everything we ordered was good. Will return to work my way through the rest of the items on the menu. read more

It's nice that Mian expanded from the Cupertino and Santa Clara locations to Milpitas! Food Golden Soup Wonton 6pcs - $6.99 The wontons are served in a rich, golden infused pumpkin purée broth, and garnished with fresh green onions. The wontons were steamed nicely, but the broth itself did not seem to pair well together. Perhaps a clear broth for the wontons would have given it a more traditional soup. Juicy Wagyu Beef Onion Pie (2pcs) - $10.99 Flaky pan-fried pastry filled with wagyu beef, and sweet onions. This pie is large enough to cut into quarters and share as an appetizer. The beef was thick and subtle with the onions. Given the light filling flavors, it could use a side of sauce to enhance this dish. Pork Xiao Long Bao (6pcs) - $10.99 Delicate soup dumplings filled with juicy pork and rich, savory broth, wrapped in a thin, tender skin and steamed to perfection. since this was takeout, it wasn't piping hot when eating it. The XLBs were deflated and lukewarm. Tastes like the standard XLB at dim-sum restaurants. Sichuan Style Spicy Fries - $7.99 Crispy crinkle-cut potatoes tossed with chili oil, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns. It was medium numbing spicy and since it was takeout, the fries were a bit soggy. Fried Pumpkin Pancakes (6 pcs) - $6.50 Golden-brown vegan fried pumpkin cakes with a crispy exterior. It's chewy, dense, with a light syrup drizzle on top. If you want a small dessert to end the meal, this is a unique type of dessert to try. Spicy Braised Beef Noodles - $15.99 Signature Spicy Braised Beef Noodles served in a rich broth simmered for over 8 hours with beef bones and a blend of over 30 ingredients. I ordered medium spice level where the soup had the pre-mixed ingredients. The noodles tasted fresh and braised beef chunks were tender. Would be great to add more beef and less noodles. The soup itself wasn't overly salty and was slightly thick. Pan Fried Pork Bun (4pcs) - $9.99 The pan-fried bun is filled with pork, a savory broth, crispy on the bottom and soft on top. Each bite was dense from the bun and pork, a good appetizer to order. Mapo Tofu Noodle with Meat - $14.99 Spicy noodles topped with minced pork and tender tofu in a rich, and spicy Sichuan chili sauce. I ordered medium spice level and added in the sauce that was packaged in a ramekin on the side. There was more noodle to protein ratio, however, the dish was better after adding a homemade fried egg. Customer Service Upon walking in, I was immediately greeted by the staff and asked whether I was dining in or picking up. Roseanne, the manager, was especially warm, helpful, and informed me that my take out order was missing one time that was still being prepared. I waited an additional 20 minutes after receiving an alert that my order was ready for pick up. She shared that the restaurant is currently in its soft opening phase and mentioned that the previous Layang Layang owner retired. Mian preserved the former Layang Layang Malaysian chef and team to support operations and overall quality. Ambiance The space has warm wood accents, hanging lanterns, bright red and yellow illuminated Mian signage throughout. There's plenty of seating to accommodate groups of various sizes. Near the front register, a window offers a view of baos being freshly prepared from scratch. Location / Parking Mian now occupies what was formerly Layang Layang space, next door to bb.q Chicken and a couple of doors down from Teaspoon. There is a shared parking lot with other businesses including Grocery Outlet, Paris Baguette, and Daeho. read more

My girlfriends and I came here as it's in between south san jose and dublin. The location is convenient with plenty of parking and near heytea ;) I ordered the beef intestines noodle because I usually don't have it often at other restaurants. The broth had a savory flavor but not too spicy. The intestines are clean and tender. We shared chicken gizzard together, and it was spicier with heavy seasoning than I thought. We also got chocolate dumplings. This dish came out way too early in the meal, and the waitress took the lid. By the time, we got to the dumplings, it didn't taste as good. Kinda sad! The pan fried pork buns were good. My friend got the ribs, and she didn't expect that the dish provided no noodles.... Very weird.... Not as good of an experience as I wanted. read more

So excited that Mian just opened in Milpitas! Between their two Bay Area branches and this new location, we finally have one close by. Everything was delicious -- from the crispy beef roll wrap and juicy beef pancakes to the soup dumplings, spicy beef noodle soup, Dan Dan dry noodles, and the refreshing cold appetizer trio with cucumbers, wood ear, and beef. Service was good, no wait on Wed dinner time. Love the deco and causal ambiance. read more

Def lives up to the hype if you're into bold, spicy flavors. The noodles are fresh with a great chewy texture, and the sauces are rich and packed with authentic Sichuan taste. The standout for me was the Chengdu zajiang noodles--the combination of savory meat sauce and perfectly cooked noodles was super satisfying. The chili oil wontons were also a highlight, with just the right balance of spice and flavor. The restaurant itself is clean and modern, and the service was quick and efficient. It's a great spot for a casual meal, especially if you're craving something comforting but flavorful. Overall, Mian is a solid choice for authentic Sichuan noodles in the South Bay. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes read more

This apparently is a chain in from So-Cal. They just opened up in Milpitas. The noodle is supposed to be fresh... and it does taste really good. Fresh certified. I ordered the spicy noodles and it's good. You do have to pay for extras if you want any meats other than ground pork and fried egg. We orders the braised beef and it's pretty good. The best way to describe this dish is Sichuan Spaghetti. I ordered extra spicy and it was only mild for me but then again I'm a Sichuan fanatic. Will come back for sure and try the broth noodle version. You order from the phone. They brought mine out but forgot the wife's until I flag them down. Dock 1 star for that. read more

This replaced the Malaysian restaurant I used to go to, but it's okay because this place is even better. Huge Xiao Long Bao portion and the steamed egg with minced pork was a home run.

Came here on Mother's Day for lunch and was surprised to get seated pretty soon after waitlisting for a party of 5! The restaurant was much larger than it looked from the outside. To order, you'll need to scan the QR menu; but to pay, you'll need to ask for the check instead of paying through the app. I ordered a spicy beef noodle soup, but it wasn't spicy at all. That wasn't a problem though, as they had hot oil placed at each table! The noodle texture was nice and chewy. With a variety of smaller plates and noodle dishes, I would highly consider coming back to try more of their stuff! read more

Came here for brunch around 11 AM, I wanted to try this place since it's new. I was told they opened 2 months ago. I got seated quick. They brought out my Chinese donut without the soy milk. Then brought out the beef noodle. So I just started eating the beef noodle first. It's decent but not the type of beef noodle soup I was looking for. The meat was kind of hard and not very tender. Soup was flavorful though. Noodles were just alright too. Veggies was on point though, tasty and fresh. They finally brought my hot soy milk, maybe they made it fresh? Wish I could adjust the sweetness, forgot to ask if they can but it was pretty good with my donut. Haven't tried the dumplings but maybe next time! read more

Came by for a weekend lunch around 11:30am and no wait! Make sure you check their yelp page for waitlist and times. We ordered via the QR code at the table after the waiter explained the specialties since it was our first time. We started off with the pickled cucumber appetizer and I liked their version a lot. Crunchy, fresh, and perfectly marinated. We also had the clear beef noodle soup and spicy beef noodle soup. Good amount of proteins to noodles and broth was very flavorful. We ordered the spicy noodle soup as mild but definitely will try medium heat next time. The spicy and sour chicken dumplings were delicious! 6 dumplings were sitting in a spicy and sour broth. Again the heat level was very tolerable. Our least favorite was the chicken and corn XLB. The wrap was a bit thick and a couple split and lost their juices in the steaming process. They do give a hefty meat ratio though. Service was very good! Super efficient and there was always someone around in case we needed anything. Overall, great addition to Milpitas! Will definitely come again. read more

Mian definitely lived up to the hype! Most dishes were seasoned well and came out relatively quick all together. I think maybe someone was on break because there were a lot of tables waiting for their food before we sat down but after 30 mins, all the food started rolling out LOL. We really liked the house lamb meat, spicy beef braised soup and the XLB! I thought the chili oil noodles were average, nothing special. We also got the dandan noodles but with the rice noodle, I'd recommend sticking to the regular noodles since the sauce wasn't absorbing much of the sauce. Servers were nice and quick. Now I need to come back and try the pan fried dumplings! read more

TLDR: Good Mifen and regular noodles It's rare that both my wife and I like a place's noodles. She likes it soft and mushy. I like them chewy and "raw" (as she puts it). I think this noodle shop does both well. She got her mushy noodles, and I got my raw ones. Their XLB were decent... My mom who is Shanghainese, thought the skin could be thinner, but in general it was a good bao. I think I'm getting used to the northern-style dumplings, because I thought they tasted pretty delicious as well. A little doughy, but also a lot of filling. The dumplings I prefer the most? Shanghai-style... as my friend would say, they look like little money bags. Anyway, I digress. There is hardly any wait here... the place is quite big with a lot of tables. Also went with my sister and her family as well... every dish was completely cleaned up. Pretty much everything on the menu is great! I've been there 3x already, and it's in our regular rotation. read more

I had a craving for spicy wonton so I checked out this newish place. The restaurant is surprisingly very large inside. The decor is Chinese paintings on wall paper, tables and chairs were made to look like bamboo, and the kitchen and eating area had the bamboo thatched look. very cute. There was a small crew working but everything was efficient. I ordered by QR code at the table, within a min or two I got my utensils, napkins, and water. And soon after the food orders. I ordered the spicy wonton, a special spicy and sweet wonton, golden noodle chicken soup, and Napa cabbage steam dumplings. All very good. I preferred the special spicy and sweet wontons over the regular spicy wontons. The special dish had a slightly sweeter taste but not too sweet, and the wrapping was thicker which I liked. The soup was surprisingly light because it looked like a curry when it first came to the table. The Napa cabbage dumplings was a nice end to the meal. The dishes before had more flavor and dense to them so it was refreshing to end of a mild dish. Overall, I think this is a great spot for noodles and dumplings. I will be coming back to try more off the menu. read more

Finally try this place out last night. It's good food and very reasonable. The beef noodle were great, but the broth was bland. Also the beef rolls were good but just not a whole lot as compared to other places that I have been to lately. Service was hit and miss. Seems that they were quickly thrust in opening this location. Could tell. Therefore I would suggest coming back once they have worked it out. Might return to see if they have worked it out months from now. read more

I first saw Mian at their Santa Clara location with a long line out the door but never had a chance to stop by, so I'm glad there's now another easily accessible location. This one is located in a very busy plaza with the popular Korean restaurants a couple doors down. We came for an early dinner and were seated right away. You scan a QR code for the menu and place your order in that fashion. The food arrived fairly quickly. We shared the beef pancake roll, xlb, spicy beef noodle soup, and spicy wontons. Everything was very tasty! I wish we had more stomach space to try more dishes. They allow you to choose the spice level for certain items, but I'd say the medium spicy wasn't spicy to us at all. There is plenty of indoor seating and had a nice bamboo decor touch. read more

We went on a Friday evening, we went around 6 pm. The restaurant was pretty busy, the food came out quickly. The restaurant was clean and decor was nice too. The pork xiao long bao had a thin outer layer and the dumpling was juicy and full of flavor. The spicy beef noodle soup hit the spot. The broth was light and flavorful as well. We also got the fried pumpkin dessert as well, it's just the perfect amount of sweetness. Crispy in the outside with red bean on the inside with a brown sugar drizzle I believe. Will definitely be back! read more

Tldr good food but not best value I have been to the santa clara location (which is temporarily closed???) and now I'm trying out the new milpitas location! The dishes here are on the smaller side and good for sharing small bites. Kind of like tapas but Chinese lol. I came with a friend and we ordered 4 dishes: - clear broth beef noodle: the soup kind of tastes like bland pho but the noodles were good and qq and we liked the amount of veggies. - chengdu zha Jiang mian: rice noodles! I liked it but my friend didn't. The sauce was really tasty! A bit sweet but you could still taste the numbing spice - pan fried pork bun: the first bun squirted lol. It was a mess. But the rest of the buns had very little to no juice relatively tasty bite though. - dumpling in spicy sweet sauce: they didn't describe the filling but it's probably pork and shrimp? We both didn't really like the sauce. It was fine but sweeter than I like my savory stuff. The wrappers were also very flimsy and all of my dumplings fillings fell out Overall the food was decent but I wouldn't come too hungry because the portions are on the smaller size. read more

A last minute craving and went to Mian very last minute. Arrived at 9:15p on a Friday night (they close at 9:30p). I was grateful the staff said no problem to place an order, although all out of XiaoLongBao (Pork) and only 1 Pan Fried Dumpling left. which is understandable at the end of the night. I got the last pan fried and it was very good. I als got the beef pancake that was ok and the Beef noodle soup that was delicious. If there is one recommendation I would suggest eating the food there when it's nice and hot and of course not wait the last minute. Otherwise, Awesome Food and will definitely be back. read more

Came in to try after being advised that they were having a grand opening special. Came in a little bit after lunch rush and was seated in about 10-15 mins. Clean and decorative decor. Attentive staff and food came out quickly. Beef noodle soup was good (broth was clean and flavorful, not salty). XLB was juicy and wrapper was just right didnt fall apart. Pan fried pork bun was filled with juicy flavors inside like XLB. Thousand year old egg and tofu was interesting. Toppings gave a salty spicy taste to compliment the egg and tofu. Suggestion - beef in noodle soup can be more tender and veggies can be be cut up more read more

We tried the Mian over in Santa Clara and were happy with the food. We were looking for Asian noodles for dinner and pleasantly surprised to find that there was this new location in Milpitas. We arrived around 7 to find a long line out the door - it was their Grand Opening weekend, and noodles were 50% off. It took about 30 minutes to be seated. The table spacing is not too crowded. The interior is brightly lit and open. The atmosphere is bustling but not distracting. Slightly sad to see that Layang Layang, the Malaysian restaurant that formerly occupied the space had closed - not a lot of choices for Malaysian food in Milpitas. Apparently the owner decided to retire and go home to Malaysia. But the staff stayed on, so you will see a few Malaysian noodle dishes on the menu at this location! Ordering is done by QR code. The food came out in short order. Service is efficient. The good thing about the location is that it has a large kitchen where they can steam baos. So we ordered a tray of xiao long bao. I am glad we did, because they were good. Thin skinned, but still able to hold in the copious amount of soup in the dumplings. We ordered the za jiang noodle (mild), the spicy beef noodle (mild), and the clear beef noodle. Both spicy noodle dishes were delicious, and benefited from a spoonful of their spicy chili oil. The clear beef noodle reminded me of a cloudy pho broth. The thick wheat noodles were pliant and softly chewy. Portion sizes are enough for a single adult. My favorite was the za jiang. We emptied the bowls of that and the spicy beef noodle. Even if the noodles weren't 50% off, the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back. read more

Checked out the new Mian in Milpitas tonight and wow... this location hits different. Not only do they have their usual noodles, but they also added buns, dumplings, and xiao long bao to the menu. We came mainly for the buns, but the real surprise was the XLB, super thin skin, flavorful chicken‑y broth, absolutely delicious. Felt like discovering a hidden gem, so of course we ordered a second basket on the spot. Also tried the veggie bun and preserved mustard pork bun , perfect for anyone who prefers lighter flavors and both really unique. Bonus: they sell frozen dumplings you can take home. read more

So excited there's a Mian in Milpitas now! The food was great and we ordered a variety of dishes: - veggie cold combo (10/10) - the cucumbers were perfectly vinegary, but not too overwhelming and slightly spicy; the wood ear mushrooms were very tasty and garlicky; the tofu skin and celery were also delicious - juicy wagyu beef onion pie (10/10) - juicy beef patty surrounded by a crispy thin layer of bread. so good. - soy milk (9/10) - good soybean flavor and the perfect sweetness for me, though my parents found it a bit too sweet - chicken gizzard noodle (8/10) - very flavorful, mild was a bit too spicy for me (but I can't handle spice) - pan fried pork buns (7/10) - crispy and juicy, but fairly average compared to the other dishes Our waitress was amazing and so friendly! She gave us recommendations, kept checking in on us and also spoke Cantonese, Mandarin and English! You can order through ToastTab via QR code or directly with the staff. The restaurant was clean and fairly spacious with an open kitchen where you can watch them wrap the baos. We'll definitely become regulars! read more
