Lots of seating and plenty of parking. Staffs were nice and restroom was really clean. The noodles itself, definitely a niche of its own. Be ready to taste that sichuan type of spice that numbs and lingers. Personally was not a fan of the flavors but I can understand why people would really like it. The pricing is very fair and they give you a lot of food. read more

Hunan Mifen - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Came here for dinner on a Saturday. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Used to be a ramen shop so it's perfect for noodles. Plenty of seating but a good stream of customers. Limited service and limited menu compared to what you see online. We got two bowls of noodles and a popcorn chicken. We got a toddler set which was nice. Noodles had a good texture and the bowl is decently sized. Soup was a bit salty/msg. Cost friendly. Would return but not on a regular basis. read more

Came here on a cold day because we craved something warm and soupy! ordered the beef bone (spicy) noodles and mixed meat noodles. Both were tasty, but the beef bone carried a numbing spice to it. Portions are generous - I'd recommend sharing one bowl between two people. Staff was extremely kind and attentive, and their QR code ordering system made everything quick and easy. We didn't realize until midway through the meal that there was a self-serve station for cilantro, green onions, and hot chili oil. We must've been too excited to eat. Next time we know to stop by here to grab our toppings beforehand! read more

This is a great spot to get a hearty bowl of noodles after work. It has a nice cozy interior. The beef in the noodle soup is very tender and juicy. Be warned that the spicy one is really quite spicy but yummy nonetheless. The not signature super spicy one is ok in spice level. The staff is pretty fast and efficient with their service read more

Fast service good food. Pork and bamboo noodle soup: 4/5 the Mifen on Lawrence makes this soup better but their noodles are still very good. Picked veggies and braised pork noodle soup: 4/5 pork was flavorful and tender. I really enjoyed the picked veggies and soup. Intestines noodle soup: hubby was sweating buckets while eating this read more

Absolutely fast service- great place to eat if in a rush. Noods: 5/5 I like that they separate the meat from the base soup with noodles. Noodles are like bun Bo hue as someone already mentioned. Broth is flavorful and sweet; the base broth was same for both orders- spicy beef and braised beef. We were able to adjust spiciness based on how much of the meat and oil we poured into the soup bowl. The braised beef was tender. Good proportions also, I took leftovers to go. Appetizer: 4/5 Fried fish is crispy. Would have loved some salt and pepper with it though. The steamed veggies: plain cabbage. Could do with salt. Service: 5/5 the staff were sweet and could speak English. They gave us plenty of to-go containers. Payment is done up at the counter. Ambience: Clean and modern decor. Not many people in the afternoon. read more

The beef bone noodles I got today was meh... there was barely any meat on the beef bone, just some really bad cuts. And the chili oil was overpowering as usual, I will have to remember to get the tomato soup instead next time! read more

The location is quite convenient, right across from Molly tea lol. But the noodles are good portion, just a bit too spicy. I got the intestine soup noodle and I have to scoop some chili oil out. Bf got the minced pork noodle and it is quite interesting, would recommend any one who can handle spice, very good flavor. Overall would come back again. They have their own waitlist where you enter when you come to the restaurant, fast service read more

I've been to their other Sunnyvale location, so I knew what to expect. This location is pretty much the same so I am glad they offer 2 locations! Upon arriving, I ordered their super spicy noodle soup with beef innards via the QR code. I usually prefer just beef chunks with the noodles for easy eating, but they don't offer that with the super spicy flavor which I like. The other option is beef on bones which would be even harder to eat. I do love the flavor! Now that I know what to expect, I just dumped the full dish into the soup because I like the spiciness. Service was good, food was served quickly and don't really need much else. Good ambiance too, place is bright and clean. Will definitely come back when I have spicy noodle cravings again! read more

My favorite restaurant is hunan mifen! I come here every week. Very delicious. Tasty!!

Noodles are EXACTLY bun bo hue noodles. If they're fresh, you can't tell. The soup was okay. Meat was tender and spicy, as promised, but anything stewed for a long time tends to be. I don't like that they used plastic containers for things they could've served on plates. Not earth conscious. Prefer bbh. All day. read more

Hunan Mifen - Spicy beef with added egg. Definitely needs pickled vegetables of some sort. Also didn't like the plastic containers for a dine-in meal - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I came here on a weekend for lunch, and I was able to get a table for 4 people right away. We ordered 3 dishes. All the mifen (rice noodle) dishes have the same soup base. Depending on which one you order, there's an extra bowl that contains the flavor and meat for your specific type of noodles soup. 1. Special rice noodles with beef bone (super spicy): this was indeed extremely spicy!! Like REALLY spicy!! But I love spice, so this was amazing. The beef was also seasoned extremely well and they give a nice cut of it 2. Special rice noodles with meat, bamboo shoots, and pickles: I'm not a huge fan of pickled things, so I thought this was okay 3. Salty crispy chicken: this is their version of popcorn chicken. I wish the pieces were smaller so that there was a greater ratio of surface area (flavor) to volume, but overall it was indeed crispy! Be warned that when they say spicy, it is actually really spicy. Overall, I would come here again and just get their Special rice noodles with beef bone. read more

The super spicy beef noodles will clear your sinuses! Also make sure you have tissues nearby because you're gonna sweat. The rice noodles are nice and chewy as noted by other patrons. The soup is tasty alone but you can adjust the soup base by adding in the beef smothered in a spicy sauce that is served on the side. Also included on the side are onions and cilantro. Service is very fast even at lunch hour when it was a bit busier. You can pull up the menu using the bar code (and since the internet reception is low here you can use their Wi-Fi connection). I placed my order directly with the waitress instead of signing up with my phone number through their website. read more

Love the spicy , hot , Hunan flavors! Really can't get enough of the dried noodles w/ crayfish! I order broth on the side because it's I love how flavorful and clear it is. It's helps keep the spicy flavors in tongue manageable. Special Rice Noodle w/ Beef Bone is super spicy with kick! Service efficient and helpful when you call them over to help you place order on their iPad or your device. The inside is bustling and enough tables . We went to the Sunnyvale location @ Lakewood Village and parking is no issue. Good turnover so no waiting to be seated. It has a good energy read more

I actually like this place a lot! We stumbled upon this when we are in the area looking for something warm and hearty and this is exactly that. Parking is good and the staff is very kind. There are also machines to let you order take out if needed and the wait to be seated was very short. We got chicken Kaarage, both of the non-spicy options of Mifen. I do think there are more spicy options on the menu than not. They give you the mifen noodles and the pork toppings in separate bowls so when you get the food you can mix them together yourself. I do wish there are more veggies in the noodles besides the pickles but the overall taste of the dish is very good. Recommend to give it a try! read more

My impression of hunanese mifen is that, no matter what place you visit, its going to be super spicy. However, Hunan Mifen has a lot of options and provides the soup base / braised meat / spicy sauce separately, so you can make adjustments as needed for your meal. For the non-spicy option, the Tomato based beef soup is my favorite. It is super filling, with generous portions of meat. The standard hunan mifen (spicy) is also quite good. If you're not sure just ask what to order. Also, you'll want to try the popcorn chicken, which can be really good, or average. Last but not least, they are currently having a seasonal item that has a stinky tofu smell, so you'll probably "experience" it the first few minutes, but they have strong fans, so it'll just go away eventually. read more

Hunan Mifen - Tomato Beef Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

The food is amazing and the service is efficient and effective. Well I guess I should write more. This location used to be a Japanese restaurant so you'll still see the sushi bar for seating which is a good choice for single diners. Sunnyvale Hunan rice noodle used to be reigned by the Noodle Talk so I was curious how this place compares when I saw a huge line last time I passed by. I waited at the opening during lunch time to be seated as the first diner. I have to say the food did not disappoint. The Noodle was fresh and chewy at the right amount. There is plenty of meat (whatever you choose) and enough noodles that makes it worth your money. The service is extremely efficient and noodles come out quickly. I like the waitress and waiters there. They are not super friendly but courteous and very good at looking at cues for what you need. Honestly I welcome the new mifen overlord. Oh I chose the intestine one and it was delicious. read more

Mother of all meat skimping. Located near corner of Remington and El Camino Real between Dollar Tree and Bawarchi. Arrived 530pm on a weekday and place almost empty. 10 bar stools, and about 11 tables. First restaurant where I used a QR code to see the menu, make a selection, order the food, and pay the bill. $16 rice noodles with spicy crayfish came with the main ingredients in a large bowl with spicy sauce, including noodles and ample number of peeled crayfish. Could not separate the sauce from the seafood here. Second smaller bowl with the broth. Tasty and spicy. Noodles almost tasted like wheat noodles. The $14 rice noodles with braised beef sirloin and tomato tasted good, not too spicy with very thick and firm rice noodles. Came with a bowl with one small piece of beef and five beef tendons. So little beef that my vegetarian brother-in-law could eat it. Should be called rice noodles with beef tendon and tomato, and priced downward accordingly. A yelp review showed a ladybug in soup on 9-8-2021. They are all gone, probably perished in the soup, below the surface read more

I've walked by this place numerous times and the place is always busy, which is a good sign. The menu comes in the form of a.qr code so keep your phone handy. The decor is a bit drab and i could smell the cleaner they use to clean the tables so that took away from the atmosphere. I ordered the ribeye noodle bowl. It came super quick. The noodles were perfect temp but the meat itself was not all the way hot like the noodles. There was a decent amoit of grissle on the meat as well so it was not east to split the pieces up into smaller chunks. The wait staff never came to check on me or to see how i was throughtout the meal and while that was okay, it did feel a.little.off to me. read more

I came here twice and didn't have to wait too long both times. I feel like the employees here kind of speak to you like they are your aunt- I feel like they make sure they have what you need, which is really nice. There isn't a whole lot of seating inside, but they do have a couple tables outside. It doesn't look as modern, but comfortable enough. The food is super good. The combo is such a good idea, especially if you get a spicy rice noodle dish. When you feel like it gets too spicy, you can eat some of the cold green bean soup to cool off. You can also pick what appetizer you want. We got the popcorn chicken, which was just so satisfying. The rice noodles themselves were pretty good, the flavor was strong and satisfying. If you order a spicy one, the spice and meat comes in a separate bowl so you can adjust how much spice you want to add. I'm not a huge fan of rice noodles, but I would come back here for the combo! read more

Tried this place twice, the first time I've had it, I tried the spicy beef with bone. I felt like it's more difficult to eat and it can get messy. The second time, I tried the spicy intestine noodle soup. I prefer this one more as it's a lot easier to eat. The chili oil can get spicy! I like the texture of the noodles, but the meat ratio is quite small here. Tried the fried fish and also fried pork appetizers, both are decent! Not bad for a quick lunch! There's outdoors seating, good if you have a dog around lol. read more

There's been a few mifen places that have popped up in the Bay Area in recent years, and somehow we've yet to try any of them until recently! I actually have never had mifen where the soup/noodle is separate from the meat/ingredients...I'm usually used to my noodle dish all made/prepared and ready to be eaten. Not sure if I like this style...but do understand the ability to "customize" your bowl. There wasn't much service since you order via QR code at the table. Other than getting the drinks (water) and our food, they pretty much left us alone the entire meal. Unclear if we would make our way back again in the future... read more

Price: on the higher side: 15 for a minced beaf mifan Food Meat: love the taste and seasonings Side veg: love the sour vegetables (green onions are on the side for takeaways) Soup: not so good; too much black pepper and covers the meat taste Wrapping: they wrap all bowls tightly for takeaway orders, which I like Order speed: efficient! ordered at the door and got it in 10 mins Worth trying for the first time but probably won't come back because I don't like spicy, and the menu is limited for non-spicy options. read more

Our favorite noodle spot because we love it spicy. Would recommend to order online and ahead. Sometimes the in-person wait can be very long. The beef noodle is super spicy, would recommend only putting one meat piece inside the soup at a time. Don't pour all the sauce in! 自從吃了他們家的牛骨米粉之後，其他家的米粉都滿足不了我們的胃，一個月都要吃上好幾次。建議把肉一塊一塊放進湯吃，才不會太辣。 read more

I added a side of sliced beef and that was too dry and overpriced. You place the order online using the QR code and pay online as well when you are done.

Very special for the way you are served. They separate the noddle from the meat and let you decide how to eat them. You can mix them and eat them. This is the normal way. Or you can eat noddle and meat separately. This is the way I like. It allows you to drink the soup with its original taste. Also allows you to share the meats with other people on the same table. Highly recommend this place! read more

The mifen here reminds me of what I eat when I visit my grandma in Hunan! An incredibly delicious bowl of noodles can be found here. You order via QR code on your phone and the food is brought out to you pretty quickly. Sides of meat and veggies can be added if you wish. I got a side of veggies and an century egg appetizer along with my special hot beef intestines. They don't hold back on the chili oil here and it is HOT, just like how it is in Hunan. read more

This is definitely one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area. Will continue to order food there.

Beware this store WILL NOT ISSUE REFUND under ANY circumstances. I accidentally made an online order to the Sunnyvale store while intending to order from Newark. After clicking confirm, I saw that it was for the Sunnyvale location, and immediately called them to cancel, and the first thing they told me that it is not possible to refund because they have already finished cooking, which doesn't even make sense since not even a minute has passed. After repeatedly pleading with them over the phone, saying that it was an honest mistake, asking for a refund, they consistently refused, saying that it was company policy, and it was my mistake. They just kept telling me to drive 50 minutes during traffic to drive from Newark to Sunnyvale to pick it up. Basically, since they got the money already from the online order, they can screw customer service for all they care. read more

It was my first time here and also the last The waiter was kind of rude when I asked questions. The food is just mediocre. I decided to add some spicy so I asked for a little bit of chili pepper. The waitress said" No, you can't because you ordered this". I said If I could have chili pepper. She immediately said 75 cents . I was surprised because usually other restaurants would leave a bottle of chili pepper on the table for customers to use. So I said ok. She then brought out a little plastic container as you see in the picture. That's totally ripped off because i already paid $18 for a small bowl of noodles with little meat and I couldn't get 1/4 tsp of chili pepper? I wouldn't recommend this place to my family and friends. read more

Hunan Mifin is a small Chinese noodle restaurant next to the Dollar Tree store at Fair Oaks and El Camino in Sunnyvale. There are approximately 10 tables plus 10 seats at the food bar. They do a lot of take-out orders. They offer just a few noddle soup meals. I ordered the beef with tomatoes noodle soup. The flavor was quite good. The noodles were good quality. But the beef was poor quality - some of it I could not even chew or swallow. So my recommendation to the Hunan Mifin manager and owner is to purchase a better quality beef; if they can keep the same price, that is good, but even having to raise the price a little is worth it to achieve customer satisfaction and increase repeat business. The employees were cordial. There is plenty of free parking in the outdoor mall lot. read more

Be sure to check your take out order before leaving. Ordered three noodles but only got two, found out after arriving home, called the restaurant and the manager said he will refund me. However, no more update from them, called again the next day and they said this time they can only give me one free noodle if I order again. I don't want to drive all the way to get one free noodle please just do as you promised, refund me. DISHONEST, BE AWARE! read more

Husband and I weren't sure what to expect when we went a few weeks ago. We couldn't find any website or menu information, there was only 1 Yelp review, and the menu was hard to find. But we love noodles, and since this restaurant is close to home, we had to check it out! Here's a link to their menu: https://www.chowbus.com/delivery/menu/Hunan%20Mifen%20(Sunnyvale)/9617?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=pmd_RQ66qCKgr8Y9fLvQ.OumcwzBIlpiZIxSy0VyiSc6SWs-1633911483-0-gqNtZGzNA1CjcnBszQeR Upon arrival, they have the Yelp Waitlist iPad at the door for you to reserve a spot in line. Too bad you can't do it before arriving online. There were lots of people waiting, but it moved pretty fast? We waited ~20 mins with at least 8 parties in front of us. Service was attentive and friendly, trying to accommodate the lunch rush respectfully and as best they could. We ordered the rice noodle with braised pork ribs and rice noodle with beef bone. Mmmmm! I should have expected it, with this restaurant being 'Hunan Mifen', but the food was spicy! The pork rib was super tender and decently sized for the extra cost. We didn't regret ordering that. The beef bones came in a little bowl of super spicy, numbing sauce, and tasted delicious with the noodle soup. I'm not an expert on Hunan or Mifen style noodles, but I really loved the flavor of the soup, the tenderness of the meat, and the satisfying slippery yummy noodles. Price is reasonable; $14 for some bowls, although the pork rib one does go up to $18. Plus there are some side apps to add on. No bugs found in my soup and the inside seems clean enough to me. I'll definitely return! Maybe tonight! read more
