Rice Noodle With Beef
Athena L.

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

Beef Bone Noodles
Vanny K.

I had the beef bone noodles. I didn't care much as It's way too spicy for me. I'll come back to try other items.

Intestines
Kim l.

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

Combo order came with Steamed cabbage side+ choice of appetizer fried fish; we also ordered Jiaduobao herbal tea
Amanda H.

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.

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!

Spicy beef with added egg. Definitely needs pickled vegetables of some sort. Also didn't like the plastic containers for a dine-in meal
Vi T.

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.

Soup base
Tiffany T.

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.

Super spicy beef noodle soup
Sarah T.

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.

Dried Noodles w/ Crayfish
Imelda R.

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

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!

Tomato Beef Noodle
Henry L.

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.

The actual noodle soup so you decide how spicy you want by pouring some or all of the spicy sauce along with the meat.
Ed Y.

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.

use QR code to show menu, make selection, order food, pay bill
Robert C.

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

This review is from my visit earlier last year. I'm just catching up on all my reviews now…read more We went when it was dinner time, and the place was packed. We waited for probably 15-20 minutes which wasn't too bad. The place is pretty big and fits a good amount of people. The food was great. Every single dish that we got was so good and packed with comfort and flavor. The veggies were well cooked, my favorite was the beef rolls. I would recommend checking this place out.

This review is from March 2025, it just takes me awhile to write reviews…read more I have heard that they have since had a kitchen fire but are going to re-open some time this year. They have also opened a location in Cupertino that is more convenient for me. Adding Mian to this plaza definitely livened it up, it was so difficult finding parking and then there was an hour wait when we joined the waitlist. We wandered around Grocery Outlet and Savers to pass the time. I came with a group of 6 people. We ordered the sichuan spicy fries and fried chicken cutlet to share. The fries were the spiciest item I had that day, wow! I ordered the Sichuan chicken cold noodles, extra spicy. They were not spicy at all. I left everyone at the table try them and they all agreed it was not spicy. Kind of disappointing, I expected them to be spicier than the fries at least. My partner had the chengdu zajiang noodles, mild spicy. They were good, the signature dish of the restaurant. I would return, but their spice levels are very inconsistent.

I always come here whenever i am craving meat jajangmyeon and it never disappoints! I also order…read morethe tangsuyuk and stir fried noodles and it's so good and filling. I have put all my friends on this place and they love it every time i mention coming here. The meat jajangmyeon and the stir fried noodles is so flavorful and the tangsuyuk is so crunchy! For the price and the portion is heavenly sent too, so perfect. The only unfortunate thing is the parking lot outside is pretty small and limited, so keep that in mind. Sometimes i park across the street from the other plaza since the parking lot is bigger. Tungtungtungsahur rates 5/5

FOOD: 4 SERVICE: 4…read moreAMBIANCE: 3 VALUE: 4 We were looking for something different for lunch and we came across Paik's. A no thrills Korean restaurant specializing in their black bean sauce rice/noodles. We ordered: Fried Dumplings - minced pork and vegetables dumplings deep fried to perfection. Crunchy, meaty and just need a dousing of vinegar. Jajang Rice - rice covered in shrimp egg omelette with the black bean jajang sauce on the side. The omelette was done right, not dry, but the black bean jajang sauce was really what made the dish. Beef Jjamppong - noodle soup with beef slices and mixed vegetables. Comforting bowel of needles with thinly sliced beef and cabbage. Jajangmyeon - their signature noodles with black bean sauce. Very umami and the noodles were done just right. Cheap (for nowadays) and good food, what else can you ask for?

Ordered: Lovers…read moreSampler Plate - the only item that stood out on this plate was the fried chicken, everything else was ehh and just an afterthought. Lovers Special Noodle Soup - I enjoyed the variety of different meats in this dish. It had sliced steak, beef balls, and oxtail which were all tender. However, the broth kind of lacked flavor. Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles - definitely a top favorite! They don't skimp out on the beef pieces which is a plus. The shaken beef is nice and tender and nicely seasoned along with the noodles and veggies. They even have extra sauce on the side to add if you like your noods extra saucy. Grilled Pork, Grilled Shrimp, Egg Rolls & Salad with Vermicilli - very fulfilling and I enjoyed the ratio of meats to noodles. The pork is tender and they gave a good mix of lean/fatty pieces which I enjoyed. Service is great and I have no complaints. There are a ton of tables/booths to sit at. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

02-05-2026 Came here for lunch. This is the second time here and I do believe I liked it the first…read moretime because I came back. Pros; Customer service was very good. Plenty of seating. interior very clean and inviting. The food is eatable. Had the Lovers Sample Plate. Everything on the sampler was good. Cons; Location is in a poor spot. Parking limited and shared with other businesses in the strip mall. The restaurant is next to a medium size grocery store and across the street from a school. I had a large #17 Pho with sliced steak, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and noodles. The broth was lacking flavor. The sriracha was so watered down that it ruined the soup when I used it. The garnishment plate came with very little. needed more basil, bean sprouts, I felt there was enough jalapenos and lemon wedges. I had to share this with another adult. probably won't come back. unless I remember to bring my own sriracha
