1) Sour flavor Beef noodles 5-star. Soup base is really amazing w/ hint of sour flavor. It's garnished w/cilantro is really amazing! Thin beef slices is tender yet te portion could be more... 2) Braised Intestin 4-star This is served as of an appetizer. Intestin is cooked to be soft for the taste, but I wish it could be more texture to be a bit chewy to be more fun as of an appetizer. read more

Mian - Rice noodle in sour beef soup base. This is really tasty! - Szechuan Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Once in a while I like to stop by for lunch here. It's even better when there's no lines! I usually try something different each time. I had Sichuan Hot & Sour Noodles and Crispy pork. Hot & Sour is so flavorful! You can scan the QR code on the table and order from your phone. For me, the portion is big and I'd have to split into two meals. I do think it's better to eat here at the restaurant rather than ordering take out. Their take out packaging is nice but it's more fresh at the restaurant. I miss when they used to include mung bean tea back then! read more

Located in a busy shopping/restaurant center. Thank goodness for their underground parking! There was no wait for a weekday lunch and we quickly got seated and ordered via their QR code. I ordered level 4 spice and expected it to be much spicier. The noodles were perfectly chewy and the chili oil was so flavorful! We will be back to try the other noodles. read more

Mian - Chengdu ZaJiang Noodle - Szechuan Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Small Sichuan style noodle shop with great numbing spice dishes. SERVICE: A little hard to get any server's attention. You sit down and scan a QR code and order from your phone, all without anyone coming to talk to you. It's a bit difficult to ask menu questions, and it's missing some of the appeal of eating out when it feels like delivery service to your table. Also quite difficult to get water refills. AMBIANCE: Nicely decorated, wood theme and lots of cute pictures on the wall + history of Sichuan spice on the paper place mats FOOD: Noodles are delicious, but I wish they came with a greater variety of vegetables. The soup/sauce can get very spicy very quickly, especially with the slow-burning numbing spice, so order carefully. The popcorn chicken (also seasoned with a numbing spicy powder) is very tasty. I will always split a bowl of noodles and a side of popcorn chicken with my partner, and the popcorn chicken is really what I dream of when I haven't eaten here in a while. Seriously crispy and so flavorful. Overall, great Sichuan food. You have to like numbing spice. Five stars for the food, but knocking one off for the service. If you don't mind the self-ordering/adjust your expectations for service prior to coming, then definitely a great place to eat. read more

(IG: @foodwithdeni) This rainy weather is making me crave noodle soup!! The other day we went to @mian_taste and it was my first time here to try their Sichuan style noodles. We ordered the Braised Pork Noodles + Spicy Beef Noodles ! It was a large portion for me so I recommend sharing if youre not super hungry! I ordered their medium spicy and it wasn't spicy for me so make sure to add spice for an extra kick of flavor. They have multiple locations in SGV/OC/LA so be sure to check it out if you havent already *This location has a parking lot & structure read more

Honestly so mid. I found the portions on the smaller side for the price. We got the Hot and Sour Wontons w side of noodles and the wontons were just okay, the broth wasn't hot, just warm. I wish they had condiments bc I wouldve liked to dress my noodles up. Won't be coming back and imo, not worth the hype with all the publications Mian has been featured in. read more

Came by on Friday for an early dinner with a friend & it wasn't very busy. It got busy closer to dinner time. We got to choose our seat and ordered our food online after scanning the QR code on the table. The food came out really fast, and the staff was friendly. Prices were affordable! I got the Steamed Egg with Mince Pork & Chengdu Zajiang Noodle (spice level 3). I love steamed egg, but I didn't love the flavor of the pork with it. I would have enjoyed it more without the meat. The noodles were good. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of peppercorn so I left a note on my order to add less peppercorn but it didn't seem to go through because there was a lot of peppercorn (which I am aware is expected of Sichuan spice). Aside from that, the flavors of the dish were still tasty. Level 3 had a good amount of spice for me. I would come back to try another dish or specifically ask the wait staff for less peppercorn since the note didn't go through on the QR code website. Parking: There is a free parking lot and underground parking structure! read more

Excellent staff, service, and food! Delicious and consistent every time we go to Mian

It's simple and good. If you are craving some decent noodles for reasonable prices, this is the place to go. They have different soup bases for different desires, the spice level is very customizable along with type of noodles, ie, vermicelli, rice noodles, or egg noddles. It's good for both 2-6 people party. The decor and interior design is simple and straight forward. I enjoy ordering food using the QR on the table. The ordering webpage includes pictures and detail customizing options. My favorite is the beef noodle and spicy sour noodles. Their sides are delicious and reasonably priced as well. Parking space could be tight, utilize the lower level parking within the plaza. The ramp can be a little tricky to get used to. read more

My team and I decided to walk here for dinner today. The girls were very eager to try this place out because of their Dumplings. I opted for the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (w extra sichuan pepper) and the girls got pork Dumplings and the Chili Oil Chao Shou. We also shared the Beef in Chili Sauce appetizer. All were super crazy delicious!!! Mind-blowing!! I'm guessing this is a Sichuanese-style restaurant because everything was seasoned with sichuan pepper. My noodles were FIRE!!! Idk what it is w the noodles but they were super fresh, probably the freshest Asian noodles I've EVER had in the history of EVERRR!! Wow!! Omg!! It totally hit different!! My colleagues loved their dumplings too... they also said that the dumpling wrapper was as good as the noodles!!! I don't eat pork but I had to try a tiny piece of the dumpling wrapper and they were right, it was soooooo amazingly good!! The Beef in Chili Sauce appetizer was also really good!! For $7 they give you a lot of protein and is very well worth it (just beware that sichuan peppers hit different... they're not spicy, they're numbing, so if your food has tien tsin chiles plus sichuan pepper, your mouth will pleasantly be on fire... you've been warned)!! This area is starting to grow on me just because of how out of this world AMAZING the food is!! You can't get food of this quality back home in Temecula. The Asian food here is super authentic and resembles the quality of Asian food from San Francisco. I am so excited to bring my kids here one of these days to try this out because this area does not mess around w their Asian food!! And Mian is so, so, so, so good!! It's sooo phenomenally delish!!! If you have not been here, please do yourself a favor and try this place out!! You're welcome! 100 Stars for this place... but Yelp only allows 5. read more

This is probably one of the best Chinese dry noodles I've had for a long time. Noodles are cooked perfectly, very strong but not too much seasoning, and the veggies and fried egg are adding more texture to the bowl. So addictive and delicious!! Quick and contactless ordering process is so convenient. You can place orders on the phone or on their touch screen machine as you walk in to the restaurant. Spacious and clean. Mixed modern and traditional indoor decor. Very relaxing and comfortable dining experience. read more

So do come early if you want to avoid the wait Parking: plaza parking lot and underground parking available Menu: menu is now updated. You scan the QR code on the table to order My top two recommendations is the Chengdu Zajiang noodles and the Pork Dumplings! I like how the dumpling is a little different from the usual taste. It has a slight sweet taste to it. And you can tell them how spicy you want your food read more

Came here on a Friday around 2 for lunch and was seated straight away! The restaurant has a nice number of tables and was very clean. We were able to sit anywhere as it was rather empty. The restaurant has an online ordering system but the staff were still very attentive and available for questions or extra servingware. We each ordered a noodle dish and the steamed egg and minced pork to share. The steamed egg was AMAZING. It was silky, savory and a great portion. I highly recommend this! We also ordered the Chengdu noodles and the raised pork belly noodles which I don't see on their online menu. The pork belly soup noodles were our favorite. The broth was so flavorful and the noodles were springy and chewy! The pork was very tender. The Chengdu noodles were equally chew but the egg was over cooked into basically a boiled egg and we felt like the dish was less flavorful. We got mild, level 1, spicy and I felt like it was perfect. However if you don't like spicy food, be warned as I feel like their best level errs on the side of spicy. Prices are reasonable and staff is really nice. Food came out quickly and was great quality and size for the cost. Would definitely come here again for a quick lunch or easy dinner. read more

Great experience! Service is quick and easy, ordered online using a QR code. Very limited English here, but not really necessary to be honest. The food is really good, especially the popcorn chicken was a perfection. The price seems reasonable all around, not too crazy of a price, and I think the food can be pretty spicy. I had the lowest option just in case, but will have to return for something spicier, had to go on a test run before I regret my life decision. It's very clean in the restaurant and BEST of all, AC is running full blast. Highly recommend this place! read more

One of the most top of mind noodle places for me in the SGV. I've been here before and their quality has remained consistent. They have authentic Sichuan noodles that come hot and fresh. It's also a good deal - $12-17 for a big bowl of most of their noodles. The beef noodle I got was $15 before tax. Free Parking is conveniently available with a small lot above ground and more parking underground. read more

Michelin guide noodle restaurant. Excellent food. Speedy service. Great location. You absolutely have to try their most popular dish, Chengdu ZaJiang noodles. They are brothless but that does not mean they are dry. They're incredibly seasoned and there's a perfect amount of beef and bok choy. You have the choice of a spicy level made with sechuan chilis. I recommend the spicy level 3 for a great balance. Overall a great experience. read more

What's up: Grabbing an early dinner with the family and we were really itching to eat some noodles. This place has been on my list for a while, so we decided to finally check it out. Parking: Parking is shared among the nearby businesses and is plentiful. They have an underground parking area as well. Environment: Not too busy when we arrived so we were seated immediately. We were told to scan the QR code on the table and place our order through there. It was a really hot day, so we were glad the AC was working well, especially when we were about to eat some spicy noodles! Limited interaction with the staff members other than being welcomed, being brought our food and drinks, and paying the bill. No public restrooms available. Apparently, this place is also a Michelin Bib Gourmand! What was ordered: - Chengdu Zajiang Noodle (no soup. Good taste) - Sichuan Bone Soup Noodles (light spice and flavorful broth) - Spicy Beef Noodles (good, but a bit too oily for my taste) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, the food was good. The noodle texture was great and ordering with the QR code made things easy. Hope you like spice, because most dishes are spicy! Credit cards are accepted. read more

PORK DUMPLINGS. Get them. Period. Orange chicken, fried rice, and Dan Dan noodles all excellent! I will be going back ASAP!

MIAN specializes in Sichuan-style noodles and renowned Pulitzer Prize food critic Jonathan Gold had good things to say about their zajiang noodle. The noodle house was opened by James Beard Award nominated Chef Tony Xu (the chef behind Chengdu Taste). This is the flagship store, but currently four other stores are also available in Southern California as of Jan 2024. [Parking]: Free surface and underground parking lot. [Amenities & Service]: Customers pick a table and order by scanning a QR code. Service was meh and the staff simply served our dishes. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted dish is beef noodle soup, but the signature noodle here is zajiang noodle. Other options include Chao Shou (aka spicy wonton), Mian cold combo (great option for anyone who wants to try different classic Chinese cold appetizers), etc. Apparently mung bean drink is no longer complimentary. Here's the site for anyone who wants to preview the QR code menu (https://www.fetail.com/storev2/shop?store_id=21). *** Spicy Beef Noodles (level 1 mild spicy - $15): Given this is a Sichuan-style noodle house, level 1 was definitely the right spiciness level for me. Anything over level 1 will simply be too much for my tongue to handle. Solid noodle and broth had good flavors. Bone Soup Chaoshou ($13): Passable entree, but can't say I was impressed. *** This place really reminds me of 1919 Lanzhou Beef Noodle in Arcadia. A solid 3.5-star on food, but bump down on mediocre service. read more

Came here on a Thursday night for dinner and this place is soooo good! I've been here a couple times before but tonight I decided to order something different. I ordered their braised pork soup noodle which I believe is a newer addition to the menu. It was delicious!! The pork was so tender and they are so generous with their portions. I got it with no spice as my spice tolerance is very low and even their level 1 spice is too spicy for me. You order through a bar code on the table and the service was really quick. Our noodles came out about 10 minutes after we ordered and everyone was so satisfied with their meals. Their prices are decent with about it being $15 per person. Definitely come check this place out!! read more

Mian is tucked away in a two-story strip mall on Valley Blvd. This Top 100 Restaurant in Los Angeles boasts a host of noodle dishes that a select few can appreciate. Upon entering the service staff explains the process of downloading the menu from the QR code, specific to your table. Even if there are multiple people at your table, they can order at the same time as the order will be consolidated. I really haven't seen this before and found it quite unique. Now comes the food...man oh man was I in for a pleasant surprise. What I love the most is when your food matches the picture and description on the menu. As you can see...Perfection! We opted to go with spicy beef and pork belly noodles. And to top it off, their special fries that leave your mouth tingling...literally. The orders were big enough to eat and take some home for the next day. Ambiance 9/10 Service 9/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Good 10/10 Bathrooms 9/10 Value 9/10 Will I Return?

This place specializes in Sichuan spiciness I think (that lip numbing spice). It's located in the corner of a pretty busy mini strip mall. I went during the week and found parking easily on the street right outside of the parking lot allocated to this strip mall. It was busier than I thought it would be for it being on a weekday (I've been eating out a lot in the area recently and been to some restaurants that are pretty empty). The crowd is pretty mixed which is probably attributable to this place showing up on some best of lists - which I admit, is why it has been on my list for a while. Getting a Bib Gourmand probably helps too, haha. I came in and had a minimal wait for a table of one. Once I sat, I ordered through the QR code menu. I got the spicy house beef noodles, which I think is the most popular item. You can select your level of spiciness. I got it a little less spicy but still wanted some of that signature spice. I also got the tofu because it sounded really tasty. Both dishes were delicious. I definitely got that lip numbing spice from the dishes. The noodles were chewy and well prepared and the greens were fresh. Such a great spot if you're looking delicious noodles at a solid price point. Also, it looks like this place is expanding quite a bit. It looks like that have about 5 locations now. read more

We went on a weekday so parking was easy and there weren't a lot of customers. The place had a good amount of tables. When you get seated they ask to scan a QR code and that's where you order and pay. I believe if you want to pay in person you have the option to do so as well. We ordered the house beef noodles, spicy and sour wontons, and the potato snack. This was my first time at Mian and it was really good. You don't really interact with the servers since you order online but they were nice and welcomed us when we walked in. read more

Mian is known for their noodles! I got the chengdu zajiang noodles, which is a dry noodle. But they also have a selection of soup noodles along with appetizers. You can choose your spicy levels. I went with level 1 mild spicy, with level 5 being extra spicy. Portions were not as big as I thought. But their noodles were good. It was thick and chewy, balancing well with the sauce. Mix it well because the sauce and meat is on the saltier side. I also tried their sweet and sour seaweed and they were addicting. It's crunchy and pairs well with the noodles. read more

We arrived for late lunch around 2 pm on a weekday. It was a good time since the restaurant was almost empty and we had a choice of tables. It was tucked in a corner of a strip mall on Valley Blvd. We ordered a few noodle dishes, dumplings, won tons, side of veggies, and a fried Mochi dessert. We enjoyed most everything. My husband said he'd get something other than the dry noodles the next time. Of the dumplings versus won tons, I preferred the dumplings. The beef noodle soup was flavorful, but I wished the beef was a little more tender. My son liked the beef rib noodle soup. I'll get that next time! For dessert, we had a fried Mochi dessert that was so good that we had to order seconds. Service was pleasant and the restaurant was clean. I'd go back and recommend them. read more

I've never had Mian before but have heard many good things... decided to give it a try! FLAVOR (4.5/5): 1. SOUR SOUP BEEF NOODLES: I can't find it on the menu online, but when you go to order there's an option for Sour Soup Beef Noodles. I got Level 4 spicy which was a good level for me. The noodles are perfect - just the right amount of chewy with a little bit of a bite to them, but not chewy like ramen noodles. The broth was light but still flavorful, similar to pho, and the spiciness comes more from the Thai chilis - no numbing spicy, which I actually prefer. The light broth also appealed to me, since I don't like my soups to be too oily. This was nice and refreshing for a hot day! SERVICE (5/5): Service was good! You scan the qr code and can order remotely from your phone. AMBIENCE (4/5): Casual ambience good for dinner and lunch! PARKING (5/5) There's private lot parking and an underground parking structure. TAKEAWAYS: I would definitely come back to Mian again. I'd want to give their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup a try! I really liked the Sour Soup Beef Noodles and might come back again just for that. read more

We found Mian a few years back and had been doing here occasionally, especially whenever we want some yummy hot and sour noodle. They have the best one! We've never had a problem until the last time we went. Sad to give a 2 stars to a place we liked. Food is still good hence the 2 stars. The service though knocked their rating down. The last time we went, everything was fine like each time before until we paid, sat for a while so our little one could finish their food. While we were waiting for the elevator door to close before heading to our car, one of the servers showed up & let us know we didn't pay the bill. Umm we did! Got the crooked receipt from their machine as proof. Back & forth for a couple of mins after we showed the receipt, the server asked us to head back to the restaurant. Out of courtesy we did. We talked with both the server who showed up at the elevator & the one who tended to our table. The person who tended to our table said we didn't pay the bill. We showed the receipt and after some time ended up even showing them the "pending" transaction from our credit card. The server said it's not the right amount and while on the phone with his manager kept saying we didn't pay the bill. Nope! Fake news. We did pay the bill, but likely the server charged us for another table. Also not our fault their payment machine sucked and printed a crooked and not very legible receipt. We even suggested that they cancel the charge and give us the correct bill, we'll pay the "correct" amount (supposedly $20 more than what we paid. Customers do not have the ability to change the payment amount on the restaurant's machine! Don't accuse your customer of not paying when there's proof they paid. That's just not right. Do train your staff better. read more

Absolute banger. Spicy wonton on lowest still got numb but that's okay, still super good. Chengdu zajiang noodles are bomb.

Second or third time here. This food is awesome. We ordered Beef Noodle and Hot and Sour, both with mild spice. I cannot conceive how anything spicier could go down for either of us. Sooo good, such large portions. It's a drive for us from Sherman Oaks, but worth the time to and from, as we get to enjoy great food, very friendly service, very clean, and a welcoming ambiance. read more
