SGV classic for Chinese Vietnamese meal. Got #3 on the menu (with egg noodle and thick rice noodle), which is served with shrimp, fish cake, minced pork and kidney, etc. My friend who recommended this place has been coming for years and he also really likes the hainanese chicken rice here. Also get the Chinese donut to dip it in the noodle broth for extra carbs ;) Portion was big. Service is what you'd expect at a mom and pop joint. They do rush you to order once you get seated so be ready! Take out containers are self service. Credit card accepted. read more

Mien Nghia Noodle Express - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

After a long night out and you need some restful soup and egg noodles to power you back for the weekend, Mian Nghia would be the place to stop at. Me and my girlfriend went here after the recommendation from one of our friends while we were in Rosemead, and we were perfectly surprised. Very delicious, service was really quick, and it has that authentic charm that most Chinese/Vietnamese noodle houses are known for. We got two soups, both of which we thought were really great in terms of portion size and price. Adding to that, nothing like a nice set of steamed veggies and oyster sauce to really capture that freshy goodness. If you're interested in trying some really warm, delicious food right after a long night out and you need some of that really good bath, I highly, highly recommend Mian Nghia. read more

Love this noodle spot. I have been eating their food in their original location in Chinatown for eons. My siblings & I grew up on their house specialty: half egg/half rice noodle dish with the crispy fried shrimp & garlic juice with the yau cha gwai. Mmmm mmmm so good. Although I live in NorCal now but every time I return to the SGV I come here to get my fix & to say hi to Peter & the team. Their beef brisket stew is also excellent. It goes really well with the yau cha gwai too. My buddy always get the chicken/fish noodle in soup and the Turnip cake. The Satay Beef Noodle is also an excellent choice. They have their own parking lot and it has never been difficult to find parking. Would recommend coming during odd hours to avoid the rush as this place does get really busy. read more

Love this noodle spot. I have been coming here every so often with my family and we have always walked away very satisfied. The servers are all very friendly and also quick to take your order and bring you your food. This is a family run business and you can see how hard everyone in the family works. My usual order is the half egg noodle and half wide rice noodle with seafood and soup on the side. I love their crispy fried shrimp so I also get an extra one of those in my bowl. Ever since I've been coming here as a kid, this has never changed. I can always count on a satisfying bowl of noodles here. Other things we ordered: Turnip cake - 10/10 first time trying this here and it was so good. Would definitely be ordering this again next time I'm back Satay Beef Noodle - my boyfriend ordered this and he thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I wasn't a big fan. The sauce was thick and creamy and was heavy in peanut and satay flavor. Very delicious if you like that flavor though! They have their own parking lot and it has never been difficult to find parking. Would recommend coming during odd hours to avoid the rush as this place does get really busy. read more

CASH ONLY! You know a spot is about to be absolute fire when it's cash only and has bars on the windows. We arrived on a rainy day and craved some noodle soup. There were only older Asian folks eating here so yet another good omen. I'm usually not a fan of hu tieu, but my husband loves that style of soup so we humored him and tried Mien Nghia Noodles. Service is quick - don't expect your hand held at any legit Asian restaurant. Know what you want from the menu before calling over an auntie to take your order. I got the shrimp hu tieu with regular rice noodles and my husband got the combo with egg noodles. DO NOT SKIP THE CHINESE DONUT. The broth was beautiful - clear and insanely flavorful with magical oily soup bubbles so you know it was done right. Whoever is saying this soup is bland can F off. This is not a BBH restaurant. The soup was perfection. The donut... my god. Crisp on the outside, NOT OILY, chewy and soft on the inside - what more could you ask for? I was eating the donuts plain because it was that good, but the obvious move is to dip it in your broth and enjoy. Total was $33 for two bowls + donuts. Worth every dollar. I almost want to come back for dinner. 10/10. read more

I was hoping to have some yummy Hu-Tieu, and this place has great reviews. I ordered #1 and sadly was disappointed. It was really flavorless. I thought maybe I was getting sick and couldn't taste anything, until I saw another lady asking for more sauce, and she told the head waitress that her food was bland. The soup that came with the noodles had more flavor and umami than the noodles. Service was really lacking, which is not surprising in this area. I had to flag down the bus boy for water, since no one was checking in on me. The bus boy demonstrated better customer service than the waitress. Obviously people love this place, and but it was a meh for me. read more

**tea (hot or cold) is 0.75 cents!** they'll asked if you want iced tea, hot tea or water. Sorry to say, this place is not good at all. They absolutely use the lowest quality protein for their Hu Tieu. From beginning to end, the experience was of full regret. The only thing decent was the egg noodle which was seasoned with a garlicky oily mix but no garlic pieces. The fish cake was hard and probably had no fish in it and same goes with the fish ball. It was a like biting on a flour mix and boiled. The kidney was atrocious, smelly (red flag) and overcooked. It was nothing like the other place (you know which one, KK). On top of it all the lady said Chinese donut? The long fried bread, and we said why not. It was reheated in the toaster to almost burnt and was not fresh. You can see them laying on a tray. The condiments also had no taste, the spicy satay and the sliced chili also flavorless. AC No go. Parking comfortable and spacious inside. 1/3 full on Saturday lunch time. They also charge your tip in one swipe of cc, so there's no adding it later. I doubt the tip goes to the workers and not management by charging it this way. HUGE PASS! read more

My childhood restaurant. Their food is consistently good! Very good and fast service. The owners are always nice and attentive. The restaurant is not fancy, but it is nice and clean. They do accept credit cards, not cash only. My friends said their 河粉 is better than the one in Hong Kong. That's why they always come here when they are in town. Highly recommended!!! read more

Very fresh and delicious, fast service, fried Chinese donut was hot and toasty. Good parking options outside and nice size dining room, nothing fancy but the food is what we came for. Broth was very flavorful, wish I could have had a bit more as they gave a lot of noodles. I liked that they also gave extra boiled chives and bean sprouts for noodle toppings. Each bowl average around $15. read more

Authentic Vietnamese-Chinese noodle spot that truly delivers! The service is friendly and attentive, and the food is bursting with flavor. For appetizers, we ordered the Chinese donut and fried dumplings--both crisp, savory, and a great way to start the meal. For mains, we tried the beef with rice noodles in saday sauce and the Hainan chicken rice. Both were excellent, but the standout for me was definitely the chicken. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly paired with the ginger-onion dipping sauce. I've had Hainanese chicken from Chatterbox at the Mandarin Oriental in Singapore, and honestly, this one is just as good--if not better. That says a lot! Highly recommend if you're craving authentic flavors and a satisfying dining experience. read more

Been here for many suns and moons ago...and when Covid hit our world days, outdoor seatings available and social distancing and sanitizers available on each table.

Prioritizing Community awareness in customer relationships and safety. read more

Wanted to do an update, still love the food here. They mentioned that they just started to accept credit cards! Quite nice addition, you would just need to let them know how much tip (if you dining in). The food and most importantly peppers and chili oil, was just as good as before. I usually get the "Mi Wong" which is a combo of the rice and egg noodle, that has bbq pork, shrimp inside. I asked for the dry version but ended up getting the soup version. I still liked it but would have preferred the dry noodle due to the heat. Also enjoyed the ice tea they give, and the Hainan Chicken. Just wished a place like this existed more towards the inland empire. Will be back soon! Until then! read more

What We Ordered: -#1 Assorted Meat & Shrimp w/Rice Noodles $14 The wife and I were going for a stroll around where we live and we've passed by Mien Nghia Noodle Express on a numerous occasions. We decided to stop in and give it a try. We asked for some recommendations and settled on sharing a bowl of the #1 as we already ate breakfast earlier and weren't so hungry. They were very nice and brought us an additional bowl so we could share the bowl of noodles. My wife really liked this dish! She especially enjoyed the noodles and seafood. The only downside is that broth was a bit salty after we finished everything and we would have drank the broth afterwards, but it was too salty. We decided against it. We would come here again in future! read more

A hidden gem specializing Chiu chow- style noodles, I was surprised by the variety of items on the menu, and fast service. I ordered the satay beef egg noodle, it was savory, beef was tender, and egg noodles were soft not tough. I paired it with Chinese Donuts, and wow it was light, airy and wonderfully crip. I dipped into the satay broth without getting too soggy. Service was quick, portions were generous. Cant wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Nothing to rave about here and the food is very mediocre. I got the dry house special noods and it was bland. I needed some umphhh in there. Reminded me of Kim kee noodle cafe which is wayyyy better. The chicken and the chicken sauces was bland and tasted watered down. Maybe a homemade sauce on the side would help. The waiters are nice and attentive. Parking is available in the back. I'm glad I tried this spot but safe to say, I don't need to come back to try anything else. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 10am and got seated right away - it's actually big when you walk in! Got #26 beef stew noodle soup with thick egg noodle and hot soybean milk. On the first page of the menu you'll see all the options for the noodles you can get - opt for egg noodles! The portion is big and it's delicious! They also give you a generous amount of bean sprouts on the side. The dish is not overly salty at all, which I definitely appreciate but still packed with flavors! Beef was tender and I love how they also give you beef tendons! Soybean milk is great as well (it's slightly sweetened)! Pro tip: cash or Venmo only! Staff were super nice and friendly! There's parking at the back! read more

This mom and pop restaurant has been around for over 20 years. My fav dish is the shredded Chicken and fish filet soup and I get thin egg noodle with medium rice noodles. The broth is clean, and really hits the spot. Don't forget to add A order of the pork kidneys. Served with a delicious soy sauce with scallions, ginger, jalapeños, and cilantro, it's so flavorful and not overcooked. Their Chinese donut is a bit on the greasy side but crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside that is slightly savory. Don't forget to use their house made hot sauce. I think it has ground peanuts in it. You can even buy a jar to take home. read more

Finally had a chance to come back here and it's still Cash Only. The good thing though is the prices were pretty reasonable at around $12-$14 a dish.

Only thing is that cleanliness of this spot is just okay but food is definitely flavor town. This place always hits the spot! read more

Love this place because it's the only chiu chow noodle spot that has the clear glass noodle. I think. At least the other ones I've been they didn't have them. You can ask for garlic vinegar for your soup. I usually do this for all chiu chow places because I love garlic. Whichever soup you choose, you can pick from various noodles. I usually get wonton noodle soup but the wonton is okay. It's just pork wonton. But the soup is good and they give alot of noodles. read more

Literally my FAVVVV Cantonese/chinese noodles ever !!! I've been coming here since I was little & i always feel so so so nostalgic whenever I eat here because it reminds me of my grandma. I feel like I've seen this place grow & when I was younger the old owners knew me and my family :') they used to have a valley location but now it's this one in Rosemead. I always order the #13 (if you say "may wong" they will understand.) the two diff kind of noodles + the deep fried shrimp is SO good omfg I literally cannot I always think about her. I also love to add extra garlic and vinegar (I LOVEEE extra vinegar in my noodles for some reason lolol) Back then they used to give a free three color desert but I'm not sure if they do that anymore (I haven't dined in here in a while). They also only accept cash, no cards (but they also take venmo). This is such a hole in the wall place but it's truly one of my favorite noodles spots ever in the 626. read more

This spot is somewhat like a hole-in-the-wall because not a lot of tourists come here and that's how you know it's legit. Normally filled with locals, this restaurant keeps customers coming back because their food is just THAT good. I always order the chicken and fish noodle soup with medium thick egg noodles. There's normally a bowl of extra bean sprouts and leeks on the side to give the dish more flavor and crunch. DON'T forget to ask for extra fried onions too because that stuff is what makes the dish REAL good. An optional add-in would be their vinegar with garlic mixture. Ask for this and it comes in a small plastic to-go container. Try your soup before adding this. I'd recommend trying some in your spoon with the soup before just tossing it all in your bowl. Most people get the Chinese fried donut sticks on the side to eat with their soup. It's really good here too but I'm normally too stuffed with just this bowl of noodle soup, so I only order that on days when I really want to indulge. Lastly but most importantly, this place is cash only. They have started taking venmo too, but credit cards are not accepted. Since they are a small business, I always make sure to tip nicely and encourage others to come try them! read more

We have been going to this restaurant for over 20 plus years ever since this restaurant used to be located on Valley. Now, they are located on Garvey and Del Mar. They have their own parking lot and you can also park on the street. The service is fast and the food comes out quickly. In the past, I usually ordered their BBQ pork with egg and rice noodle. That was my go to dish until recently when I started to order their satay sauce and beef with rice noodle. Both of these dishes are delicious. You can't go wrong with ordering any of their noodle dishes here. read more

Love this spot for comfort Canto food (is it Canto?). They have a huge selection of different noodle soups that you can choose from and also give you the option of 9 different noodle styles (my fave is the large egg noodle). Their noodle soups have a bit of MSG (you can taste it a little), but it's also way lighter compared to similar restaurants I've had around LA that serve this style. However, the proteins here are really superb (definitely superior!) and the overall flavor is highly worth it. Also if you indulge in pork kidney anything, you can order the ones with the soup, but they also have a standalone PORK KIDNEY A LA CARTE SAUCE dish that tops it off with green onion, cilantro, and this really dank sauce (comparable to places in Asia!). No credit card and they close super early, but pretty worth the drive out on a weekend (especially after some drinking shenanigans??). read more
