Nut allergy friendly: There are roasted peanuts straight up on the menu, so I would be cautious. I ordered via Uber Eats due to a running app promotion, and marked my allergy in both English and Chinese, and had my meal with no issues. Since I ordered via Uber Eats, no comment on the venue itself. I was dying for some Asian food and found this restaurant to be acclaimed for their Biang Biang noodles, so off I went to get two orders (one with cumin lamb, one standard). On the Uber Eats app, I specifically ordered the "Three Items Combo Biang Biang Noodles", one with +Cumin Lamb. The cumin lamb was quite spicy! The dish was more balanced than I expected between the three protein sources and also included carrot, bok choy, and onions. The noodle texture was phenomenal... But, it didn't travel well. Due to the oil and cooling during travel, the noodles tend to stick together. Unfortunately, this means that it gets clumpy. But, I still thought the noodles had a great chewy texture and the serving size was great for the value. When we microwaved the leftovers, we were able to pull it apart a little bit. Overall, I'd definitely go try the noodles in person. Huge fan of the cumin beef addition, would order that again.

I've overlooked this place even after driving to Bellevue for food for some time, even going as far as hitting up Shinya Shokudo right next to here. Kinda sad I didn't have here earlier since their food's hitting, especially their spicy cumin beef Biang Biang bowl! I came with a friend here around 6pm to a simple interior that almost reminded me of some of the Peking duck shops around the Chinatown International District. You can see the counter even from the back, and there's tables and booths for various parties to sit at. There was probably only one or two servers for the whole place; it did take a while to get utensils and refills on water but that didn't affect my experience here. You scan a QR code to get the menu, and place your orders and pay through there. I got their Biang Biang noodles with spicy cumin beef, along with a side of beef rolls to share with my friend. He also got Biang Biang noodles but with pork belly instead. To start off, they don't skimp on the spice here; even the noodles themselves were layered with red chili peppers, not that that was an issue for me since I love my spice and haven't had food this spicy in a long time! Noodles were slightly softer than al dente (a term for noodles that are firm but not on the verge of being hard; basically the perfect texture for noodles) and paired very well with all the spice inside. The cumin beef was so balanced and tasty in flavor and the spice added even more of a kick to the bowl. The spice includes the onions, red chili peppers as mentioned, a bunch of jalapeños with the seeds all around and the spicy cumin beef itself. My friend's version with pork belly was still really spicy though the pork belly was a slight relief from that. Portions here are quite big even though we both got the small bowl; there is a large one available. The beef rolls were all right; it comes with (non-spicy) cumin beef and some sweet bean paste wrapped in slightly crispy bread. The sweet and savory mix here actually works, and this is coming from someone who has expressed some displeasure in those two mouthfeels mixing before. Their noodles remind me so much of Biang Biang in Cap Hill, so it's actually hard to compare the two besides the different cities both are based in. I'm just happy to have more than one place to enjoy hand-cut noodles, and can't wait to make another trip here to try their other stuff!

Amazing spot to get authentic Chinese food! Friendly staff, lots of inside items! I loved the beef roll and the Biang Biang noodles the most! I highly recommend and would come back!

I have walked by this restaurant many times, but they never piqued my interest because they are always empty! I decided to look up their menu and turns out they sell Xi'an dishes. Their menu is comparable, if not bigger than Taste of Xi'an, Xi'an Noodles, and Fang Tang Noodles. Their prices appear to be more reasonable, too. Their dishes are traditionally prepared meaning most of the meat centric dishes are bone-in, FYI. There are many unusual dishes, and I love being adventurous. Their service is a shy tentative. They react to my beaconing but otherwise did not approach. Their interior is simple; it wasn't off-putting by any means. During our time inside, only Chinese people came to eat. All Chinese. (Yes, I can tell.) This must be authentic food! This restaurant doesn't do any social media as far as I can tell. If you click on their website link, old images of sushi will show up. Continue with "Order Online" and you can see their menu. Smashed Spicy Eggplant, $15.99 - 4.5 Stars I didn't know what to expect for "smashed" eggplant dish (maybe like baba ganoush), but I certainly did not expect a pestle and mortar on my table. We skipped the smashing and ate as is, which was delicious, even if a bit oily. I also liked that this dish is served with century egg at the bottom. Tomato and Egg Biang Biang Noodle, $10.99 - 5 Stars Surprisingly savory, their version is excellent. Better than others I have had. Spicy Cumin Beef Sandwich, $7.99 - 5 Stars By including veggies in the filling, they made the sandwich a more substantial and balanced meal. Flavor is very good. We approve of this modification! Beef Roll, $11.99 - 4.5 Stars The wrapping is a flaky pastry, while the beef filling is thickly sliced and plentiful. Hubby approved. Spicy and Pungent Rice Noodle Clay Pot, $8.99 - 3.5 Stars The nomenclature confused me. That is not a claypot. It is not pungent; it is ma la spicy. I was hoping for stinky tofu type of fermented pungent. Nope. They had ground beef in the broth, which is a turn-off for me (personal preference). Their menu could use a bit more description. Green Onion Pancake, $2.99 - 2.5 Stars This is the least oily green onion pancake I have ever seen. Even though it is nicely layered, it is unfortunately a bit dry. It would be good to dip in sauce, but not to eat by itself.

My friends and I had dinner here on a Monday night. Environment - it is not the fancy reataurant vibe, and it is a little old, but it is clean. It has tables for groups from 2-8 people, and it is pretty quite, so it is good for staying longer and talking. Taste if Xi'an is another place we go for 陕西 food, but that place is in a food court in a grocery store, and it is always noisy, and u often have to share tables with people. It is good for a quick bite but not for long stay and chat. Staff - there is one lady helping us with order and serving food. She is bilingual and friendly. Food - food is served pretty fast. Lamb soup with glass noodle is yummy, and broth is so good. I wanted to ask for a refill on the broth but i did not haha. 肉夹馍 is not quite like the one i had in China. The meet will taste better if it has a little more fat. My friend said that she prefers the 凉皮 from taste of Xi'an. Overall, it is a good dining experience, and I would come back to this place.

I love this place but last experience is a little bit disappointed because they did not have air conditioning during hottest days in summer, and their main dishes are normally quite hot. But their food and service are great! Authentic Xian food. The 水盆羊肉 tastes great!

We have been to this place many times over the last few years but this is still my first review for it. They specialize in cuisine from northwestern region of China with lots of flour based dishes so if you are looking for low carb food this isn't the place for you. Our favorite is the Big Platter Chicken, which is shown below. We've always ordered this dish whenever we dine here. The portion is huge so don't expect that you will be able to finish it. Just enjoy what you can and pack the rest to go.

It's a pity the average review score has been brought down by the previous owners, because this place is a gem. A female owned family business, Miah's Kitchen puts heart, tradition and incredible flavor in all its dishes. It's tough to pick highlights, but since I got a photo of this luscious smashed spicy eggplant dish, I'll share that it was delicious. The handmade Biangbiang noodles are not to be missed, with that chewy texture that only comes from making the noodles by hand. Pro tip: Sunday mornings offer breakfast, which is not found through the restaurant website. I know from the owner it is a labor of love, keeping her up late the night before and early every Sunday to serve this special meal, and my friends have raved about it. I was in briefly from out of town but am eager to try it the next time I'm in town. If you're looking for authentic, traditional Chinese cuisine, and you're lucky to be in reach of Miah's Kitchen, this place is a must!

One of the few biang biang noodle places on the east side. The restaurant was really spacious and clean, they had hand sanitizer by the door and all workers were masked. We ordered the hot oil biang biang noodles, cumin beef biang biang noodles, and the shredded potato appetizer. The shredded potato appetizer was 5/5. Perfectly crispy and tingly from the peppercorns. Loved the texture and the balance of flavors. I loved the textures of the biang biang noodles. Probably one of the best textures I've had in the Seattle area. However both noodle dishes were very salty. It seems like the sauce didn't really absorb into the noodles. Same goes for the beef pieces in the cumin beef noodles. If they made the sauce a little less salty it would be a perfect 5/5. Very affordable prices for a big portion (we got both noodles in the smaller size but still had leftover).

I like the food here, fairly priced. I wouldn't call it super authentic XiAn style since they are not spicy enough for me. But I keep coming back for the location and friendly service.

I came here with my coworkers for lunch, and to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of the food here. The restaurant was like a typical Chinese restaurant, with lots of seating. The service was decent, probably since we had a big group-- our server was pretty attentive to our group of 8. The food came out relatively fast too. Maybe it's because I don't know what Xian food is, but I ordered the Zha Jiang Mian (炸酱面), or fried sauce noodles, and it was just not what I expected. I was expecting some noodles with fried pork and black bean sauce, with sliced veggies (usually cucumbers) on the side. What I got was a different story. The noodles I got looked like they had fried pork but they forgot the black bean sauce. Like it was just cooked ground pork on top of noodles. Okay, I guess that's fine. The cucumbers look like they were supposed to be sliced, but didn't get sliced all the way. That's fine too, because I thought looks doesn't matter as long as it tastes good. The noodles themselves were actually pretty good-- they were wide, chewy, and had good consistency. However, the part that really breaks this meal for me was how the noodles were DRENCHED IN OIL. there was at least a few tablespoons of straight up oil at the bottom of my bowl, which I really didn't like. Even when I tried to mix the noodles with the pork and the oil, the oil was very overpowering. The ground pork was kind of tasteless, so the ENTIRE DISH JUST TASTED LIKE THE OIL, and even the noodles and cucumbers were not able to salvage it. I was only able to finish half the bowl before the grease started to make me feel sick. I definitely would not recommend this dish, so if you come here, order something else! They have a lot of other food to choose from. I personally probably would not be back.

Miah's Kitchen has a humble, family restaurant vibe. The food is mostly from the style of northwestern Chinese cuisine, which I like because it reminds me of my parents' home and is different from the typical Sichuan cuisine you tend to see. If you come in a group, I recommend getting the big platter chicken because it is full of flavor and you get so much that you can share. I also recommend the biang biang noodles, rou jia mo, liang pi, or yang rou pao mo.

We came here for dinner and I enjoyed my meal. Located in the Bel-Red area in a shopping center, it's an understated Chinese restaurant. On a weekday evening, the place was not at all busy. There were only two other parties, and it seemed like most of the business were those getting take-out. I ordered the Lamb Noodle Soup and my boyfriend had the Stewed Chicken with Rice. It didn't take long for our food to arrive, and for mine, the portion was large. Although my boyfriend did not like his dish, I have to say, I really liked the Lamb Noodle Soup and was what I was hoping it would be. The handpulled noodles were good, with a perfectly cooked texture and there were plenty of slices of lamb with. Of the entire dish, my favorite part was the lamb broth. It was very flavorful, a little creamy, and fulfilled my craving for soup. I would happily order this soup again! My boyfriend thought his Stewed Chicken didn't have enough actual chicken pieces, since most of it was fat, so would not recommend it. Overall, Miah's Kitchen provides an option on the eastside for hand-pulled noodles and other Chinese favorites. I'm glad to have found a spot, just for that Lamb Noodle Soup.
