I food was delicious! It was made fresh. We had the sesame chicken with fried rice. Definitely will be a regular customer.

Pho was disappointing... broth was bland and not very hot.. the beef is over cooked and hard to chew! Shrimp fried rice was decent.. drove an hour to give this place a try! read more

As a disclaimer, I did order takeout and am not sure if you'd have a better experience dining in. My boyfriend and I both ordered the orange chicken and the quality of the chicken was so bad, it felt like we got the scraps. On top of that there was a bone in my chicken, so I can safely say this is the worst orange chicken I've ever had. On the other hang the egg rolls were okay, but I definitely don't recommend this place at all. read more

Awesome spot with a ramen bowl to always hit the spot. Fast service with a full menu of great options

Seven years? Update! Still my favorite Asian restaurant in town. We have multiple favorites so it's always easy to get something different. Glenda loved the sizzling shrimp or chicken. The sweet and spicy fish would be her next pick. I go for the spicy noodle soup or the curry Mei fun. The lo mein or the curry chicken are solid picks. Their newest dish is beef stew with rice or noodles. Mian is your place for some good Asian food! read more

The food was delicious. Practically melted in your mouth. We will be returning and often! Staff was polite and restaurant was clean.

I had this once years ago when it first opened and thought it was fine, but decided to try again while I'm visiting home and loved it this time! The guy taking my order was really friendly and helpful + it was stupid windy and cold outside and my food was still so hot it almost burnt my mouth after driving home, having a convo, getting distracted on tiktok, and only THEN sitting down to eat it. I got the sweet & sour pork with fried rice and dumpling soup--I'd order all of them again on a future visit :)) read more

We stopped in for lunch on Saturday and were pleased with the bistro. The food was fresh and tasty. The servings were very generous. While the place was practically empty, our 2 dishes came out several minutes apart. Overall we plan to enjoy this place more often, whether in person or take out. read more

My egg rolls were floating in oil. The food is ok, not great. But, in a pinch it will do!

I loved my chicken curry. My wife had orange chicken and found it to be too sweet. I tasted it and agree. This is truly a bistro - small with just a couple of workers. They stayed busy with both sit-down and to-go meals. We ordered at the counter and the food was cooked to order and brought out to us. Not much in the way of ambience but not sure that is necessary. If I can get my wife to give it another try we'll be back. read more

All dishes from the phó to the sesame chicken are all amazing! Good quality white meat chicken used as well.

This is THE BEST Asian food on this side of Texas, I swear. The hardest part of moving to Abilene for me was the lack of food diversity, all I wanted was some quality fried rice. This is DELICIOUS!! Thank god for these people and their knowledge of flavor. Service was great, they're so fast. I went at lunch time and got to-go, was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Obsessed, I will be back!! (Maybe tomorrow lol) read more

Mian Bistro - Steak Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Food was very good and the staff was nice. It reminds me of the west coast Asian places that are clean but sparsely furnished. I got the impression that they cater more to the to go crowd since you order at the counter and food is served in plastic to go containers. They do have a dozen or so tables for dining. Regardless, the food was very good. I had the beef and noodle summer special ordered somewhat spicy and that was exactly what I got. Ingredients seemed fresh. If you are looking for a good no frills Asian meal, this works well. read more

The friendliest people!!! We just tried out this spot and had to be the best Asian/chinese food we have ever had for such a good portion of food. Again the service was immaculate. A must go! read more

As usual, the food was very delicious and faithful to some of the food I grew up on in Japan and Hawaii. The staff was very friendly, helpful and courteous. It was a very quiet day while we were there but gent behind the counter was very cordial. Will always enjoy going there! read more

I am vegan and I had a vegetable dish that delicious!! The young girl waiting on me suggested the dish.

My wife and I tried Mian Bistro tonight for the first time. Let me just say: y'all don't know how good you have it here in Abilene! After living in such a big city (Phoenix) over the past few years, you would think that I would have found at least one decent Asian food restaurant while I was there. And trust me, I searched high and low! Nothing in Phoenix compares to the fresh delicious meal we had tonight. We tied the sesame chicken, orange chicken, spicy noodle soup, lo mein, and pot stickers. Yes, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Everything was amazing! The flavors were so on point! Nothing had that overly salty or overly sweet issue that you often run into at lower quality Asian places. The soup was spicy, but not just spicy to be spicy; it actually had great flavor as well. The pot stickers were definitely made in house and not frozen, which is always great to see. My personal favorite was the sesame chicken, but the orange chicken was definitely a close 2nd. Everything just tasted like a good home cooked meal that was made with love. I thought moving to a city the size of Abilene meant Panda Express would be the best I could find, but I'm very glad that's not the case! 10/10. We are for sure new regulars! read more

Highly disappointed in this place. The dish was for sure not fresh nor did it have fresh ingredients. The egg had the weirdest texture. I had high hopes with all of the good reviews but unfortunately it's expected not to find any good quality ethnic food in a small town. The egg rolls were good. But $3.50 for 2 tiny rolls. read more

Mian Bistro - Cury Mei Fun and an order of egg rolls - Chinese Near Me - Abilene, Texas

I thought everything was sort of good. The scallion pancakes will actually change your life. They are not overly greasy and they have a thicker chewy texture, more similar to like a rice pancake or something, loved this. Want it everyday forever. The beef and broccoli was way over the top salty, but the broccoli in it was perfectly cooked. I found the meat itself to have that funny slimy texture that many other Asian restaurants have. I believe it's a technique they use to tenderize, where they brine in saltwater and cornstarch. Don't like that. The chicken curry was delicious, but again with the funny meat texture and very little veggies. Ratio of rice to entree is way too small. I don't even eat it and it wasn't enough for the rest at our table. I did not care for the spring rolls, the chicken had the funny overcooked flavor I don't like. Lastly, the disposable dinnerware is inexcusable. What a waste of plastic. It's understandable for to-go orders but for everyone dining in, what a trajedy. Also takes away from the integrity of the food and overall experience. Lame. *My husband enjoyed it all very much, he thinks I'm harsh on this one, but agreed about the plastic and not enough rice* read more

I remember how wonderful and fresh the lettuce (pretty sure it was "Bibb" or Butter lettuce) used to be in the ginger-dressing small salad. Sadly, today, it was iceberg lettuce with brown edges that tasted old. I don't know how long ago that changed as I haven't lived here for a few years. All the other dishes today tasted great, however, no matter how great the food, being served in a plastic container with a plastic lid dramatically takes away from the whole dining experience. Very sad. I probably won't be back--too bad so much has changed. read more

Great Asian in Abilene. Plenty of options for every craving. We love the spring rolls, Katsu Ramen, Wonton Soup, Pho, and Lo Mein. Only down side is the interior isn't a very comfortable sit-down spot and if you wait too long to eat the takeout anything will almost always get soggy quickly. It's hard to blame them for those things when it's a small business in a fairly desolate part of town, but that earns Mian's a 4-star none the less. Fast, no frills, wide variety, and nice staff. It's our go to Asian on the South side and honestly in our Top 2 for all of Abilene these days. read more

Delicious, fresh, every time! The summer special was full of fresh, crisp, veggies. My kids love the steak fried rice. Highly recommend. read more

This is my favorite spot in Abilene! Have had the lo mein, curry chicken, and udon and every one is a suprise

The food is decent however everything is put into plastic To go containers even if you order "for here." You'll get served piping hot soup and food in plastic with plastic utensils, which is a big no no for multiple reasons. #1 Putting hot food in plastics causes the plastic to leech harmful chemicals into the food. Plastics are known endocrine disrupters and mess with your hormones and health. Ingesting plastics contributes to multiple health issues, Google it if you don't believe me. #2 Presentation: any chef will tell you presentation is key. Serving food in single use plastic trays kills the presentation and makes it unappetizing or less appetizing. We asked for our food for here and during the pandemic the excuse was that they wanted to do it for health reasons (to go only) but they're still doing it in October 2023. With what we know about plastics and how harmful they are to humans if ingested after being in contact with hot temperatures, there is literally no excuse to serve hot soup in a plastic to go container with a plastic spoon. That's a recipe for leeching plastics into your food and your body. Google and YouTube provide multiple sources of info about how plastic is not an ideal container for high temperature foods you are ingesting. I suggest you look into it! All of their entrees are too hot to be safely put into plastic containers and ingested. If the owner sees this I suggest you switch to other Togo containers but also to serve your food in store on and in standard food safe plates, bowls and silverware appropriate for high temperature foods m. This will help us have a choice to not ingest leeching plastic onto your otherwise nice food read more

Mian Bistro - Curry chicken and and spring rolls - Chinese Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Yesterday I had the hunnan duck, chicken egg rolls, green onion pancakes, and matcha thai tea. The chicken eggrolls were crispy and well seasoned with herbs. The green onion pancake was crispy on the outside, slightly chewy in the middle. I would've liked it if the sauce they came with was slightly tangier. I would recommend eating this there because once they get cold and soggy they start getting too chewy. The hunnan duck was cooked to perfection. The duck melted like butter in my mouth. The veggies were stirfry crunchy and I loved it. They sauce was a little spicy for me, so I would recommend getting one of their milky teas to cool your mouth if you have a medium to low spice tolerance. The matcha thai tea had a sweet milky front note that would transform into a thai tea flavor and finish with a matcha after taste. I believe the average matcha and or thai drinker (or someone who wants to try something new) would enjoy this. However, I personally like a really earth grassy matcha flavor with little to no sweetness and it was too sweet for me. Though it definetaly helped cool my mouth after tasting the hunnan duck. This place has a 'hole in the wall' atmosphere. I love these kinds of places and will definetaly be eating there again. read more

Mian Bistro - Chinese Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Food is alright. They seem like they still need to get over some of their COVID stuff. (ie they serve you with plastic disposable takeout containers even if you're dining in, etc). It kinda seemed like you were meant to leave and go away. Hopefully they stop that read more

Love this place. Food is very authentic and adorable. Love coming here and grabbing lunch. Staff is always nice.

Nothing surprised me more than finding the bistro. It was absolutely amazing. Id almost given up finding a good Asian fusion cuisine place here, but I'm happy to say I was wrong. The chicken curry was on par with some of the best Thai places I've been to. The sesame chicken and orange chicken were amazing. The mongolian beef was heavily sauced and flavorful. The egg rolls and cheese wantons were absolutely perfect! Now the scallion pancake, that was something that I never knew I needed in my life until now. Everyone was amazing and I will happily make this my go to spot from now on! read more

Sparse interior, but was clean. Staff was pleasant and friendly. Had greens with ginger dressing and that was delicious, so were the potstickers, YUM! My Aunt had the Orange Chicken and let me try it, it was good and I would order it, but I prefer Panda Express Orange Chicken if I'm being honest! I had the Mian's Curry Chicken. The curry sauce was watered down but still good. Wasn't a fan of how they sliced the chicken. It was flat if that even makes sense? I didn't think to take a picture at the time. It didn't change the flavor of the chicken but just made the texture weird. I would definitely eat there again and plan to do so! The greens with ginger dressing and the potstickers will definitely be something I always order! read more

Food was very good; seasoned very well. Atmosphere was a little noisy, but to be expected in a small space. All in all, a very good place to dine! read more

We were looking for Chinese food and this place has a great rating. They also serve Vietnamese food and Asian Fusion, whatever that is. My husband and I ordered two of our favorites, Orange Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork and two egg rolls for starting. The egg rolls were really good, but the dipping sauce was not what is regularly served with egg rolls. Every Chinese restaurant we've been to except this one has used duck sauce, which has a very good flavor. Their sauce was red, but actually had almost no flavor as did the rest of the meal. The Orange Chicken was a red color and didn't have any taste at all. The Sweet and Sour Pork has the usual meat, pineapples and peppers. It also had small ear of corn and zucchini (both a first). Usually the meat is cut up into cubes about an inch square. These pieces were small irregular pieces like you'd find if using scrape meat. Neither one of the dishes had any real flavor. We'll have to try somewhere else because for Chinese food, this place doesn't even compete. read more

It was ok, coming from a big town where there are tons of Asian food this place doesn't not compare. It's ok if you don't know what real Asia. Good taste like. If I was very lazy to cook, desperate and since it's close to me, then maybe I'll go again. Lol the flavor was ok. The chow mein noodles were spaghetti noodles if u like that. read more

I like their chicken curry, the shrimp curry , vegetable fried rice, and grands love the orange chicken. I recommend this place.

I have gone through a good bit of their menu and was disappointed on their flavors. The Mongolian beef and sesame beef add probably their strongest dishes. They messed up our order by never cooking it. So we had to reorder and wait longer for the food. If you do go, just order take out. The interior isn't that amazing. One doesn't miss out much by ordering take out. read more

Recommend: orange chicken, beef pho! Very tasty and the chicken was crispy even when we got home to eat it! On the fence about: veggie soba The noodle dish was great! However, it came w slices of tofu that was so rubbery we could barely chew thru it! We took them all out and threw it away to enjoy the rest of the dish! read more

Well, I had a taste for potstickers... so I ordered a salad with ginger which was good. Beef teriyaki.. which was ok, lots of fat on the beef but it was ediable. NOW... the potstickers..... i opened them up first just to see the filling and immediately said, what the hell is this. It looked like an old piece of mushroom or something. Absolutely worst potstickers I have ever had literally in my whole life. Salad and beef were OK. read more
