Mian - Honolulu - House Beef Noodles - Szechuan Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Parking: street parking or small lot, can be difficult at peak times Service: table services, utilizes QR codes on the table to place orders Ambiance: great place for a casual meal, would def come back Food: one of my favorites with multiple locations across the US and their sister location in Ward (Mian and Bao). Would recommend the hot and sour potato noodles - a more chewy glass like noodle. Goes great with the mung bean drink. read more

Mian - Honolulu - Sichuan Hot & Sour Noodles, mung bean drink - Szechuan Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sister restaurant of Mian and Bao, and Chengdu, Mian does not disappoint. Located at the 808 center on Sheridan Street, parking is valet, and bathrooms are located outside the establishment as it is shared with other businesses. Service was excellent. The nice lady checked in on us several times and provided extra napkins and refills. Ambiance: cozy. As with their sister restaurants, scan the qr code and order away. I really liked the variety and being able to order sides or small dishes. The mung bean soup is delicious and served chilled. They do give free refills. This was my first time trying it, and 10/10 would order again. Mini hot and sour wonton: first time trying and won't be my last. 10/10 Beef pancakes were good, slightly different from Mian and Bao, and delicious. Ice Jelly: good cooling dessert. Not too sweet. Perfect finisher for all the spicy food. Pickled sides: I really loved the spicy back fungus. I'm a huge sucker for woodear mushroom so I was also glad I could order a side of it just to toss into my soup! So good! Everything was really good, and I can't wait to try something new as we make our way through their menu. read more

The house-made beef noodles and gyoza mixed with chili oil were quite tasty, there's not much interaction with the service other than your food coming out and paying for the bill. Other than that once you're seated you scan the QR code to view the menu and place your order. The restaurant is nice, clean, and evenly spaced out. There is street parking and parking located T other areas around the restaurant. Portion sizes are generous and will fill you up. read more

While I was on vacation in Waikiki, I tried out this restaurant.It was delicious. I cant wait to come back and visit this restaurant again.

I hope that the owner sees this: the food has gone down hill at Mian. The noodles and sauce don't taste good anymore, the dumplings don't taste high quality. It just seems like things have changed and there's not the same love behind the food that there used to be. the past three or four times we've eaten here we just keep saying we're never gonna come back here anymore. It's super disappointing because we really loved this place and we hope that they can get their old cook back or find their inspiration again.. Mian has lost its magic and I'm dropping from 5 stars to 3 stars. Should actually be 2 stars because the food doesn't even seem hot and fresh anymore. Please raise your standards back up!! We LOVED Mian and I'm sure that we aren't the only ones that I've noticed the decrease in quality. read more

My mom was really craving a nice bowl of Chinese style noodles and have been talking my ear off about it, so when we got the chance to go out, I recommended to visit Mian. My younger brother has visited this spot several times and always raves about how solid their noodles are. This spot looks unseeming on the outside but is very nicely culturally decorated within. I forgot to take any pictures but I really liked the decorations they had within. The place has less human interaction than typical restaurants. You seat yourself upon arrival and then scan a QR code to order your meal. They then serve you water, the dishware, and food once its ready. My mom got the tomato beef stew noodles and I got the house beef noodles. We also got the house pancake beef rolls to share (but I almost ate the whole thing). The pancake was so good, the crispy pancake had the best texture ever (similar to scallion pancakes) and the beef and sauce was good. I would say it was a little less substantial than I would've liked, very minimal pieces of beef and cucumbers. 8.6/10, would've been 10/10 if there was just a bit more "stuff" within the pancake. My mom liked her tomato beef soup, it had a nice acidity & tang to it from the tomatoes and it was slightly spicy as well. I really liked my house beef noodles, it was super flavorful and had the perfect amount of slight spice. Very hearty and the noodles were also perfectly bouncy. I would really recommend this spot if you've never had Chinese noodles before, especially their house beef noodles. read more

Delicious! My friend brought me here and we shared beef noodles and pork chili wontons. I also ordered the pickled veggies as an appetizer. The noodles were fantastic and perfectly cooked. A little chewy and fresh. It was easy to order using the QR code. I highly recommend trying this place. read more

Great place for Sichuan noodles and dumplings. Order from your phone and your food is out pretty quickly. I often get the beef noodle soup and the pork dumplings. You can customize your order in the app and add extra noodles if desired. The portions are large and filling. read more

Came for Chengdu zaijiang mian wanted to compared with LA chain Differences - spicy level not as high, did not feel the numbness (would of ask for higher level next time) (they also offer chili on side if requsted. Flavor is consistent however the sauce - here - has more soupy broth (vs LA is more chili oil sauce and less broth-like) eventually as you eat, the broth will get absorbed better and be less soupy Sides dish for the fungi and radish (Spicer) were on point. taste consistent with LA. Still recommend despite minor difference. Will hit the Szechuan craving read more

I could have sworn I've left a review before but ill write up another one since it's just that good! I usually walk in, scan the QR code on the table and order my chili dumplings, cold Sichuan noodles and mung bean drink. I was able to try the beef roll this time and the hot sour spicy soup. The beef roll was delicious and the soup was good too but I still live my cold noodles. I love that you can specify the type of noodles that you want and you can even get extra noodles for free. Dine in you get free refills of the mung bean drink which I love. It perfectly tones down the spiciness of the food. Ambiance is relaxing and service is friendly. They also have a lot of take out orders. The chili dumplings are so good! A little kick of spice and so tasty! read more

Mian is known for their Sichuan style food that leaves a nice numbing spice in your mouth. This is a no-frill type of spot, order through the QR codes on your table and the food comes out fairly quickly. House beef noodle soup: we ordered it regular spicy, with their homemade noodles with an extra free side of noodles! The beef in this soup was braised so beautifully that it was falling apart. The first couple of sips of the soup was a tad bit spicy but that spice becomes addicting after a few bites. Chili oil wontons: Be sure to mix this dish up well, with all of the chili oil sauce at the bottom of the bowl-- it's best when you can get a nice even coating of sauce. Soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao): I don't think Mian is known for their Xiao Long Bao-- and XLB is one of those things that takes a lot of finesse to do well. It was okay but really on par with a good frozen microwavable XLB. Beef pancake rolls: one of my favorite bites of the whole meal! Scallion pancake rolled up with marinated beef, cucumbers and salty sweet sauce. Highly recommend! Parking can be a bit tough here, there's a small lot attached that fills up quickly. You can find some street parking or other parking lots in the area. read more

Their noodles were pretty good. The broths have more flavor than their sister location at Mian and Bao. The house noodles are pretty soft though like it was over cooked. The appetizers were good. The beef pancake roll tasted better at Mian and Bao though since the one at this location has thicker and doughier wrapping. read more

Not vegan friendly AT ALL. I ended up ordering mainly from their apps (veggies) As well as their cold noodles . No option for veggie broth The service was not there since eveything is scan your own. Won't be coming back. Vegan /vegetarians this Chinese restaurant definitely lacks options read more

GET THE ICE JELLY!! It haunts me. I had the tomato beef noods with rice noods 9.2 out of 10. Tomato broth is excellent, though a bit temperature hot. The ice jelly is a certified mouth party though. So many textures. What are those chewy, vaguely fruit flavored crumbled up crackers?? They're delightful. The dish is so refreshing. I've been thinking about it for the last 8 hours since I went there for lunch today. Just get it. read more

We went to dine in-person and the servers seemed like they're high school or college students preoccupied with their phones so much that you have to flag them down (even if you're the table right in front of the register) to order. I'm also allergic to spicy foods, so it wasn't great when they mixed mine and my mom's order, such that I ate the house beef noodles instead of the tomato and beef noodles. When I did eat my favorite food item off the menu (the tomato and beef), it was still wonderful! The noodles weren't overcooked or al dente, just right. The broth was also flavorful (and not spicy!) even if it's "just" tomato and beef! read more

Good, chewy noodles with a lot of options. My family has returned here a few times and we all get different things and always enjoy it. Their house made noodles are very good and you can get an extra side portion for free, which we always do and then take it home for a second meal. However, this place struggles with service. All the ordering and paying is done online, and as a result, they don't hire enough staff. When we went it was extremely busy with people waiting and only one busboy. He was filling waters, taking orders to tables, helping older people check out, giving out takeout containers, and wiping down tables - it was way too much for one person! One couple even came in, was confused because there was no one to direct them to a table, sat down, and got up and left after about two minutes because no one helped them. This is no fault to the worker, he was doing his absolute best and working very hard, but they need to have more staff because every single customer was getting neglected. read more

A genuinely good option for noodles! This restaurant is located on the first floor of a plaza on Cedar and Rycroft Street. Parking can be a bit difficult -- there are a handful of spots in the private lot for the plaza (first hour is free) and some street parking if you're able to nab a spot. If you speak Chinese, you'll probably get the attention of the servers more quickly, but otherwise you might have to go to the front counter to get seated since the staff is sometimes in the back. You place an order on your phone by scanning the QR code at the table and browsing the menu there. I got the house beef noodle soup, chili oil chao shou, and XLBs, which all came out promptly. The noodle soup was my favorite; the noodles were chewy and fresh, and the broth was tasty with a perfect level of spice (at the "little spicy" option)! The only downside was that the meat was a bit chewy/tough. The chili oil chao shou left a lot to be desired, as there wasn't any ginger/green onion/etc in the filling, so the pork flavor was a bit overpowering compared to the sauce. The XLBs were good; the wrapping was a bit too thick on the top for my tastes but overall it was pretty authentic. Would definitely come back to satisfy my noodle cravings! read more

I always wanted to check this place out and finally got the chance to today. Mian is a chain and my friend said the Honolulu location tastes better than the California locations. Our order was placed online through a QR code and the food was delivered shortly after. I love how you could get free extra noodles with each noodle dish. House Beef Noodles- 6.5/10; I found the meat to be on the chewier side and the broth to be quite oily. I ordered the little spicy version and found it to be the perfect spice level for me. The spice does linger on the lips for a bit. Chendu zajiang noodles- 5/10; I love the texture of the noodles but am not sure the peanut sauce was for me Pork dumplings- 8/10; My favorite dish that I ordered. The sauce that it came with was delicious, didn't expect it to have a sweet flavor. Pancake beef roll- 6/10; I never tried this anywhere else so it's hard for me to have a comparison. House fried chicken-7.5/10; Never thought I would order fried chicken at a noodle place but it was very crispy and tasty. My sisters loved it. Overall, I loved the texture of the noodles and uniqueness of each dish, but I'm not sure if it's something I would come back again to. Although, it could just be me and my taste buds. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and wanted to try something different! read more

Mian - Honolulu - House Beef Noodles - Szechuan Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We came here to try some authentic, traditional dishes and the much raved about noodles. The food here was very good, and if I could give 4.5 stars, I would. However, since I can't, I'll give it 4. For me, 5 stars would mean the place stood out in a unique or special way. I had the House Pancake Beef Rolls, which were excellent! The flavor and texture were something I've never had before. I would definitely order this again. I also had the Pork Belly Stew bowl. Very tasty and good size portion, but nothing special. I also tried the noodles from other people in our group; both the regular and rice. Again, it was tasty and spicy, but not what I would say was the best I've had. Overall, the dinner was very good and someplace I would return to. Other than the pancake rolls, I would try something else. The service was excellent; fast and accurate. The place is small but comfortable. Parking wasn't a problem as they had an attendant in the back. There's also street parking, if you're lucky! read more

I think the IG of this business is a little misleading. Maybe they have more than one location? However the IG says they serve Bao, however this location does not. We had already ordered a few things so we decided to stay to try what we orders. I will say that the small bone broth dumplings were super tasty which was odd since the broth was so bland lol. The place is small, maybe 8-10 tables max. I don't think I can give this place a fair review since I only had a few appetizers on the menu and them not serving Bao as advertised on their social media. I will say though, even with the small amount of food we ordered, most everything was tasty. read more

The food tasted phenomenal. The beef broth with house noodles was delicious. I'd definitely opt for extra noodles next time. The chili oil dumplings were good but not a repeat for me. I'd be interested to try the others. Less than $15 for a filling meal is pretty hard to find in town but this fit the bill read more

Mian is located in the 808 Sheridan Center. It is a decently sized restaurant that can fit both smaller and bigger groups. They are known for their noodle dishes as well as dumpling dishes. If you love spicy schezuan flavor this is the place for you. I like the intestines spicy noodles with a hot and sour dumplings. I would recommend getting extra spice if you like spicy. The food comes out pretty quick and you can order everything through the QR code. read more

I heard from other Yelp people that Mian had the best noodles. We happened to pass by and I remembered I had been wanting to try this place! We walking in Sunday night and it wasn't too crowded. We were seated right away and were able to look at the menu and order from the QR code at the table. It was very convenient. However, it was our first time and we had some questions. The workers were very nice and helpful. We ended up ordering the mini hot sour wonton and mini chili oil wonton so we could try both. My husband ordered the house beef noodle, extra spicy and I ordered the clear broth zajiang noodle, little spicy. We also got complimentary extra noodles on the side. Such a great deal! Oh my gosh though, if you like spicy, this place has it. This is a gourmet Szechuan noodle house and it a spicy! I only ordered a little thankfully. I got used to it but my initial tastes were surprising. They are quick to fill the water though so I'm thankful for that haha. It's a small restaurant but spacious enough for us and clean and nice. Everything we had was so tasty. We will definitely be back!! read more

My boyfriend and I came to this area looking for dinner and we decided on this place. Their 3d art is there right as you walk in! We got seated quickly and looked at the menu via QR code. As an introvert, it's also nice because you order through the QR code as well. My boyfriend had tried this place before and wanted a noodle dish that he had last time but they took it off the menu. Our food came out quickly and it was delicious! The house made noodles were so yummy! It was chewy and bouncy, just how I like it! The "little spicy" wasn't hot at all so if you're looking for a slight kick, I'd recommend going for the next level up. The price was very reasonable for the quality of the food. A downside to this restaurant is the parking. Other than that, I'd come here again! read more

I like the food at Chengdu Taste so decided to try this sister restaurant that focuses on noodles. It is located on the ground floor, west side of the 808 Center. Inside is fun and nicer than you'd expect from the outside. Ordering is like at Chengdu Taste we're you scan a QR code, you order via your phone and they bring you the food. Paying is also through this online method. I got the House Beef Noodles which you can choose how spicy it is, firmness of the noodles and if you want more noodles for free! Since it was my first time I got the recommended (normal) firmness of noodles and spice level. If you want the free noodles, they come in a separate small bowl to add later. The noodles had a nice chewiness to them while being firm. The beef did have some fat or tendon on them just as a warning if that bothers you. The Sichuan chili peppers add a nice amount of heat to the soup. We also got the pork dumplings which were meaty and surprisingly had a sweet sauce. They were nice to counter the spiciness of the noodle soup. There were a good amount of dumplings for the price. Mian is good to go to as a solo diner or a small group while Chengdu Taste is good for a larger group and sharing food family style. It is nice to be able to eat a different type of Chinese food than the more common Cantonese food in Hawaii. The only downside to the restaurant is parking can be a challenge. read more

We went for a light meal. I had the plum juice to share. It wasn't bad; not too sweet. The pork dumplings was smaller I think and good thing I had the less spicy sauce on the side. It was a bit spicy for me. It was just a tiny bit of pork so a bit bland. The chicken was crispy but seemed pounded or very thin skinny piece of chicken. My friend said the broth in her noodle spoup was good but the noodles were like spaghetti. We had some difficulty ordering but it was cleared up. read more

I always come here for the spicy pork dumplings. They have such a good spicy sweet taste. That and then the beef roll. I'm a sucker for green onion pancakes and this one is always crispy with the beef packed inside. Last time it was a little too charred but still good nonetheless. The great thing when you get the pork wontons to go is they separate the sauce from the dumplings so they stay fresh longer and if you don't finish them that day. The soups are good too and the noodles, apparently this is by the same owner as the upstairs restaurant but mian has more of a focus on noodles where upstairs is about the meats. I always find it funny that a non-spicy eating friend is the first one that showed me Mian. read more
