Their beef noodle soup is pretty good. If I recall correctly it was quite spicy even at mild spice level.
Absolutely loved our experience! The interior is modern and clean while the service is very efficient. The servers were friendly and attentive, which is a nice treat in Chinatown. And the food - absolutely loved the food. We were served a cool, sweet bean tea and pickled cabbage upon sitting. Then ordered the house beef noodles and pork dumplings. House Beef Noodles - 5/5 The meat was incredibly tender, the spice level was just right (got the extra hot) and the noodles were just the right texture and bounce (had a nice bite to it). Pork Dumplings - 5/5 Loved the sauce on this. The chili sauce was sweet and spicy and savory. The dumplings were tender and the wrappings had a good chewy texture. Overall, would recommend and return.
First time trying this spot. Came during lunch specifically for the beef noodle soup. I came right after the lunch buzz. There were only 4 other tables eating, so it was relatively quiet. But the two servers were great. Gave complementary tea and kimchi. I decided to order the spicy numbing beef soup. Yes it was spicy. Yes I was sweating. But I will be going back for this!
Mian appears modest and unassuming from the outside, but once you enter, a sleek, modern interior awaits. Since my roommates & I arrived on a Monday evening, it was quieter. A server came to bring us cold mung bean tea, and our appetizer was a spicy, pickled cabbage salad, so incredible... We then took our orders through their QR code. It was a bit tricky to follow their ordering system, and there was a slight mix-up when differentiating between the "Add to Cart" and "Submit" buttons. I had ordered the Mapo Tofu noodles, but my roommate accidentally deleted them from the list of items because she didn't realize it was my order. When each person in the party makes an item selection, it's considered an order for the entire table, not for the individual customer, which is why there was confusion. :( Despite technical difficulties, the food came out quickly, and it was a 10/10 across the board! - Huazing Fried Egg Noodles, more spicy, extra green onion, and less oil: (5/5) Delicious... the spice was not overwhelming, and a slight sour/acidic taste came from the tomato broth. I appreciate that there was an option to request less oil, as Sichuan places can sometimes get carried away in that department. Because of this, I was able to enjoy the broth more! - Pork Dumpling, extra green onion, less oil, and more spicy: (5/5) The pork dumpling was soft and had a chewy, gummy texture on the outside, and the chili oil they put on top packed a PUNCH. Nothing I couldn't tolerate, but wow, did it hit; additionally, there was a subtle sweetness. I'm sad I missed out on the chance to try their Mapo Tofu noodles, but it just incentivizes me to make a comeback to Mian!
For the peeps who love spicy, either mala, numbing, green peppercorn-y, MIAN is the place to go. I came by myself last weekend when the weather suddenly turned freezing cold for some hot soup and I was super satisfied, the noodles warmed my soul. Upon entering, you see a well decorated modern chinese noodle street cafe style. Place can be little more well lit in my opinion, will definitely give a more visual impact on their food too. They offer contactless ordering using QR code which is helpful so I didn't feel rush on deciding what I want, especially when they got so many options! Service was fast and friendly, the server reminded me of the hot bowls when they served me the food. I ordered the steam egg and house spicy beef noodle but sub the regular noodle for rice noodles. The steam egg came in a really cute cup, it's one of those that I remember my grandpa would drink water or hot tea out of it back when I was little. It's a very nostalgic and touching grass item haha the egg itself is super qq like jello, and well flavored by the minced pork and sauce on the top. The beef noodle was also really good. I ordered medium spicy and it was good, it had a perfect kick of mala spicy on my tongue every bite, they give a lot of beef too, good tender chewiness. The rice noodle was cooked al dente, not my preference but I let it seep in the soup for a while and slowly got softer to eat. Overall this is a good spot to get some hot noodle soup on a cold day. They got non spicy options too!
Mian in Houston definitely hits the spot when you're craving hand-pulled noodles with some spicy intestines. The texture of the noodles was perfectly chewy, and the broth had that deep, spicy richness that keeps you sipping. The portions were generous, and the spice level was just right, I always get the more spicy option and it's enough to make your nose run but still flavorful. Service was quick and friendly, though the place can get crowded, so expect a short wait during peak hours.
What an incredibly efficient, super yummy little noodle/dumpling shop! The beef noodle soup was incredible - the soup reminded me of the ones from Taiwan and had a fair amount of beef chunks. The chili garlic dumplings were very good - although, be warned, there is a good amount of heat in the sauce. I've got a good spice tolerance and still sweated through my meal. They also have complimentary pickled cabbage and sweetened tea that they bring to each table that is just so good! Service is super fast and you can order via the contactless menus on the table. Overall, fantastic place for carbs and would def be back!
Really good! We had the traditional beef noodles and the braised ribs noodles. The meat was super tender. The broth super flavorful and spicy. Noodles perfectly cooked. The food came out quick and staff is on it with the tea refills. The inside was clean and it eventually got pretty full of people but staff stayed on top of helping customers.
Mian is top tier in sichuan noodles, meeting some of my highest standards for taste, portion size, service, and price. They also make ordering super easy with an online menu that you can place orders directly from your phone on! And there's complimentary, endless red bean tea and pickled spicy vegetables while you're waiting for your food and enjoying the cute themed interior. I've gotten several different types of noodles, including the zajiang noodles, spicy house beef noodles, and hot and sour noodles (my absolute favorite) - EVERY bowl has me thinking about Mian for days afterward. I've been here several times, and I 100% will be back!
The food was great and the service was just as good. Very cool spot to sit down and enjoy lunch or dinner. Definitely a place I'd come back to.
I love Mian! They have the best dumplings. My favorite are the chili oil dumplings, and the pork dumplings. The pork dumplings sauce has kind of an almost sweet spiciness to it. I also feel like there's maybe cinnamon or different kinds of spices that they put in with the dumpling sauce. It's so delicious!
Absolutely delicious! These Sichuan noodles were everything I needed and more. (Thank to my amazing boyfriend for this hidden gym) The flavors were bold, rich, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. Every bite felt comforting and satisfying -- the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out. On a cold winter night, this bowl was pure soul-soothing magic. If you're craving something flavorful, comforting, and truly unforgettable, these Sichuan noodles are it. Highly recommend!
This is a solid noodle place!! I had the clear broth beef noodle, and I was surprised by how rich the broth was. It was similar to the Korean gomtang broth. I generally like my dishes plain so I enjoyed it a lot. Most of my friends love the beef noodle soup, which I will definitely try next time! Service was pretty quick, and the place was packed during lunchtime.
Keep in mind!! They're only open until 8 PM as opposed to what's printed on their door (9 PM). They started turning people away around 7:30 PM for dining in, so get in early! The inside is super clean-looking! Our table shared the steamed egg with minced pork appetizer (we all thought the pork was too salty). I got the Spare Rib Noodles with mild spicy (still packs a punch in my opinion, especially when sipping on the soup). THe mung bean drink definitely helped me. I thought the noodles were fresh, one round of noodles filled me up. I'd probably try another noodle dish next time. read more

Everything we had was a home run. Everything was so flavorfully delicious and hit the spot. Beef house noodles, mild spicy- the beef was so juicy and tender. The broth was tasty an love the green onions and veggies. Chili oil chaosou, mild spicy- beautiful wontons. Asked for extra green onion. Cabbage - tasty, served cold. So flavorful and went well with the meal. Mung bean drink was also yummy! read more
Not a huge fan of Chengdu Taste, but I like this iteration for noodles. Favorite dishes: - Chengdu zajiang noodles - Spicy and sour wontons - Steamed egg and minced meat: we ordered it for the kids, but enjoyed it as well! The spicy beef noodle soup was a-okay, meat is very tender, broth is on the saltier side. The marinated cabbage and mung bean water are also nice additions/compliments. read more
Solid option for sichuan style spicy soups and dumpings! The place is on the newer side, and is easy access in the Dynasty shopping center. I tried the spicy beef noodle soup and the chili oil wontons. Food came out in around 5-10 min, and was nice and piping hot. You have the 4 levels of spicy (slightly, medium, spicy, extra spicy) to choose from. I ordered everything medium, and it was a good solid medium for me, with a little bit of that sichuan kick, the kind of spice that just kind of sticks to me and required me keeping some water close by. Noodles were fresh and had a good texture, the soup broth had a good flavor and healthy kick of spice, and the beef was nice and tender with good chunks of tendon too. The chili oil wontons had good consistency and were cooked to perfection. My only complaint with it was that it just seemed ordinary, meaning just the chili oil. Sometimes other places add a bit toppings to give it a more unique or special flavor. I was a little surprised bu the flavored mung bean water they give you to drink. It was ok, but sometimes really wanted a nice glass of cold ice water to quench the sichuan spice. Service was good and attentive. Place was pretty new and clean as well. Overall place is solid, and I recommend coming here if you are looking for sichuan style spicy soups! They also had a grass jelly dessert I'll have to come back and try at some point.. read more

Mian is my new addiction. I came here two days in a row already and I'll be back (probably again next weekend). So much flavor and variety here; if you're looking for a spicy beef noodle soup look no further than Mian. So far I've tried the Spare Rib Noodle, House Beef Noodle, Bone Soup Chaoshou, and Steamed Egg with Minced Pork (appetizer). The Spare Rib and House Beef dishes were spicy (if you're sensitive to spice these dishes might not be for you, but if you are...you're in for a treat). These dishes came with a generous amount of noodles and tender meat. The Bone Soup Chaoshou is a comforting dumpling soup (it comes with A LOT of dumplings) with thin skin and tender meat. The broth is clear and not spicy (perfect if you're sensitive to spice) but doesn't compromise flavor at all. The Steamed Egg and Minced Pork appetizer was absolutely delicious; so much flavor and pudding-like in texture. The people working there give you a side of spicy cabbage (delicious, I had to order more) and give you cups of a honey-sweet drink to help manage the spice of the dishes. You can order everything online at your table and pay there too (no need to wait for a server or order at the counter). Food is out really quick too. Love the efficiency!! I have been telling everyone about this place and I'm craving it again. Sooo good and such a great value. Parking situation: on-site read more
These are the best Szechuan noodles that I've had. I'm venturing out on my journey when it comes to noodles and I'm so glad that I started it off here. They are very COVID friendly as well. They do temperature checks before being seated. And when ordering food, you order it through the website/menu online, and they just deliver it to your table. You can pay once you're done with your meal online and they'll then give you the check. Everything was done through distancing and online which I really enjoyed. We ordered some top popular dishes mentioned on Yelp, which were the Chengdu Zajiang noodles, spicy beef noodle soup, and pork dumplings. We also ordered steamed egg as an appetizer and I love chili oil wontons, so decided to try that as well. The pork dumplings had a sweet and spicy flavor which I really enjoyed. And the steamed egg was amazing. So tender and flavorful. That was my first time having steamed egg, so I was honestly amazed by the concept and flavor of the dish. I enjoyed the chili oil wontons, but the pork dumplings more if I had to be honest. Once our entrees came around, my taste buds were blown. As I said, this was my first experience when it came to Szechuan noodles. And it was the best experience thus far. I enjoyed the Zajiang noodles so much. It was so good. I really couldn't get enough of it. The spices were on-point and the added fried egg was just perfect. This is probably the dish I will always order whenever I come back. I definitely did enjoy the spicy beef noodle soup as well, which is perfect for the cold weather. But more than anything, the Zajiang noodles were top tier. Will I absolutely come back? Yes. read more
On this visit, I had the House Beef noodles (spicy with broth) and had Pork Dumplings as appetizer. The drinks were complimentary water and mung bean drink. The sides they gave at this location was kimchi. The meal was amazing. The noodles were not overly done and the broth had just the right amount of flavor. Highly recommend! Next time, I want to come back for their dry noodles. The only downside was that the kimchi they gave as side was bland and not authentic. This location was really good with COVID control, having a machine take temperature measurements of everyone and allowing people to order from their phones. read more

(First review since the pandemic - welcome me back, y'all!) M. and I opted for date night in Chinatown on Saturday - I successfully lobbied for us to try this stylish noodle joint we would see when we used to visit Crawfish & Beignets or Iwa Ya. At 7 pm, there was a small crowd but plenty of space to socially distance. The nifty temperature screening tablet quickly cleared us for entry, and we took a spot by the wall. The colorful menu is printed in both English and Chinese, with thorough explanations of what goes into each bowl. It reminds me a lot of ramen joints, with many customizations and add-ons available for a modest upcharge. Of note, if you're a big eater - you can get an additional portion of noodles (100g) added to your bowl for no extra change. I thought I would get to take advantage of this deal, but once our hefty bowls were set before us, I realized I was dead wrong. The housemade flour noodles were springy and slightly chewy, offering a clean palette to absorb the salty, zesty flavors of my spicy, mouth-tingling soup. Pork intestine is a favorite of mine (M. doesn't share this view) - the ones served here were well cleaned and tender, though I think they could have been cut apart a bit more to make it easier to chew. The broth itself is 25% more concentrated than what I would consider optimal slurping flavor, but could definitely make a wicked second meal of braised fish, veggies, and noodles if I had the foresight to take it home. I had a small taste of M.'s Zajiang Noodles served "dry" without soup, which I actually enjoyed more - next time, I'll try the cold noodles or the mapo tofu special noodles! The red oil dumplings are one of my favorites in town: the skin is impossibly thin, encircling a juicy pocket of meat and bathed in an umami sauce that is just perfectly spicy, sweet, and tangy. The meal comes with free refills of a lightly sweetened mung bean drink (in Chinese medicine it is considered a "cooling" food and thus balances the spicy dishes) and a small plate of pickled veggies, with which you'll whet your appetite. At around $9-10 per plate, it's pretty much on par with prices at other Chinatown establishments nowadays - to be honest I feel we could have shared one bowl between the two of us (especially with the option for more noodles). With the memory of tingling spice lingering on my lips like an electric kiss, I know I'll be back soon to try more! read more

WOW! I spent most of my childhood in Chengdu, so I know what authentic Sichuan food should taste. And I have to say MIAN nailed it! The taste is very similar to what you would get in Sichuan. I have tried the Chengdu Zajiang Noodles and the Chili Oil Wontons. The noodles were so good - highly recommend! It's one of the best Chinese noodles that I've had in the U.S. I wasn't super blown away by the wontons, but they are still good. The service was super efficient! You order your food through the QR code at your table. You can adjust the spice level and the amount of added oil (which I appreciate). All the workers are friendly. The ambiance is quiet and modern. For me, MIAN is an easy five-star! read more

I am obsessed with Mian! You seat yourself, and there's QR codes for you to scan at the table to pull up the menu. After you scan you're even able to order through the website. As soon as you sit, they bring you some cups of mungbean drinks (I don't remember the exact name) and some cabbage. We tried the house beef noodles with the medium spice level, extra green onions, and no peanuts. We also had chili oil chaoshou. The beef noodles were so delicious. I love spice, but the medium spice level was plenty spicy for me. It had a LOT of noodles as well as beef, so it was more than enough. The dumplings were really good as well, but honestly it was plenty just to get the noodles. Besides the food, the staff was really nice and attentive, and the restaurant itself was really clean. I definitely recommend this restaurant. :-) read more

Was super hungover but we wanted to switch it up from the usual pho. This place hit the spot!!! Location is great, lots of parking in the plaza. You get water and some pink tea? Sent out first. And then you scan a QR code at your table and order through your phone. This was really nice and pretty effective in paying at the end (we had about 8 people in our group, so splitting and paying for your bill was easy.) They also bring out this spicy cabbage side dish. I'd say its maybe the equivalent to kimchi? Chinese kimchi? lol Either way, the acidic taste helps cut into the spicy heavy soup. Paired very well imo. Our table got the popcorn chicken and the chilli oil wonton as a started to share. The popcorn chicken was very well seasoned and very crispy. I also loved the chilli oil wonton. The oil was slightly sweet so it was different but I was a fan! Main course wise I got the spare rib noodles. The QR code ordering allows you to choose from different spice level options, different noodles, you pretty much get to build your own bowl. They were very generation with both meat and noodles. Overall a great experience I will be back:) read more

Setting: The decor is nice and the place looks very clean!! Their COVID protocols are great! They're still distancing tables which a lot of restaurants have given up and take temperatures of all their guests who come in. They have a QR code on each table that leads to an app where you can order food, drinks etc (an introvert's dream!!). You can make customizations to your dishes here as well. Through the app there is a $1 water bottle but you can also ask them for tap water. The QR code is specific for the table so everyone at the table can use it at the same time and make changes or order. You can also pay through the app and see exactly what your bill will look like when you're ordering . Upon seating they give you complimentary (I think it's plum juice???) and cabbage (this was so good!). Also complimentary EXTRA noodles on the side. Food: House Beef Noodles (Medium Spicy): this tastes like Vietnamese Bo Kho LOL but "really good bo kho" according to my bf. It does hit you with a strong beef flavor Chili Oil Wontons: surprisingly a lot of wontons! Comes with about 12 which were PLENTY for my bf and I to split. Super good and tastes really authentic. Make sure you mix them up to get the chili oil at the bottom! Chengdu Zajiang Noodles (Medium Spicy): I got medium because I didn't know their spice levels but I think I should've gotten the "Very" option! I think if you like spice go ahead and go for the Very. To me it tasted a little bitter (maybe an acquired taste) but my bf liked it. He suggested maybe putting the "No Numb" customization next time. read more
Real deal. Houston is lucky to have this place. Pork dumplings and the spicy beef rib will have you wondering what city you're in. And their House Beef noodles will turn you lips all red, make your sinuses run and you won't care about the slurping noises you're making. Get it spicy or stay home. Evidently they have a sister location in LA that has a Beard nomination. The place is bare bones decor with a crew that is no-nonsense. And it's not pricey. Expect something satisfying. Slurp! read more

I tried this place out for the first time with my mom and we were given a complimentary tea to help cleanse our palettes. We found the Chili Oil Chaoshou and Pork Dumpling to be a little too oily even after choosing the "lower oil" option, but both were very tasty and I especially liked the flavor of the Pork Dumplings. As for the House Beef Noodles, I found both the noodles and beef to be delicious in which the noodles melted in my mouth while the beef was extremely tender. Lastly, we got the Steamed Egg & Minced Pork which was good and the egg had flan-like texture which made it melt in my mouth. Overall, we had a good experience, the ambience was chill, and ordering was contactless in which you scan the QR code and order from your phone. I would recommend others to try this place out! read more

I am a sucker for some noodles and dumplings. Mian did not disappoint. The interior is beautiful and has plenty of room for comfortably distancing. We ordered the clear broth ZaJiang noodles and the chili oil chaoshou. The chaoshou was amazing, they were incredibly flavorful and just a tad spicy. The noodles and broth in the ZaJiang was equally as good. I loved that the meal came with a side of chili oil and kimchi. The price for the food is great. One bowl of noodles is enough to feed two people. I will definitely be returning for more. read more

Temperature check at the door. We were seated quickly and used the QR barcode to scan for the menu and easy to order process. Appetizers - veggies to the peanuts were very good. I would order more especially the peanuts. Noodles - from house noodles, spareribs noodles to clear noodles soups they were all good. Just need to figure out your spicy tolerance. Pork dumpling is very good. 5 stars. I mean it's been awhile since I have had some in a while. Drinks - Plum water? It tasted like bbq sauce but my mouth was on fire so I had to drink something. They have water bottles, soda cans and tea. Broth base is chicken. read more

First time trying this place and we dined in with two kids (gasp!). They have such modern updates i was blown away. When you walk in, a video camera takes your temp, you scan a QR code and order from your phone anytime you want! This place was great, immediately after seating us, hey gave us red bean water, utensils and extra bowls for the kids. The food came fast and was HOT. Appetizer: 5 spice peanuts -spicy but not too much -excellent Main entrees: Golden chicken noodle soup Bone broth House beef noodles Bone soup wonton Everything was delicious! The wontons were my favorite. The meat was juicy and tender, the kids loved their soup (which never happens) and the spicy cabbage given with each order was just the right amount of spice. We have a new fave restaurant in this area, for sure. Also, The whole place was spotless! Will definitely be coming back soon. read more
Mian is the latest branch of a chain that includes locations in LA and Hawaii. Given the hype from the LA branch, I had high expectations - and they were met! Great noodles, great prices. I was a little skeptical of the "Zajiang noodles," given that Zhajiang mian (noodles) is a traditional Beijing dish, while Mian is a Sichuan restaurant. However, I liked their take on it! The mala sauce was delicious, the noodles were great, and the ground pork/veggies/egg complemented the sauce well! Another great addition to the Houston noodles scene! read more

Spicy refreshing, pure soup, not enough to eat! You can also add noodles for free! read more
Excellent place to go if you want quick and authentic Chinese noodles, dine-in or take out. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was quiet and clean. We ordered our noodle dish, and it was ready in like 7 minutes! Just like that, a bowl of fresh and delicious noodles ready to go, perfectly packaged and comes with a bowl of mung bean soup (which is so good for your body and digestion) and a small container of spicy Chinese cabbage as appetizer. I love the way they pack the noodles: the noodles and the veggies are in a separate container/plate/layer on the top, and the broth and the pork ribs are at the bottom. It prevents the noodles from getting cold or too soft. The noodles stayed warm and fresh after 30 minutes of driving, and taste of the pork ribs noodles is on point!! Highly recommend this place! read more
The ambiance is lovely and service was great -- especially love that they offer complimentary green bean soup and cabbage starter -- but I thought the flavor of the food wasn't as good as the look and feel. We ordered the chili oil wontons (红油抄手) and the bone broth dumplings (I think they call it milk soup), and the filling on both of these was solely pork, which was a little bland for me -- would have preferred a veggie blended in there. Also got the intestine noodles (not my preference but dining partner enjoyed) and the Chengdu Zha Jiang Mian (炸酱面), but I found the noodles to lack depth of flavor beyond the numbing spice (I got the spiciest and it was fine for me). Wanted more flavor! read more

Lovely noodle place for the less salty palate. They were generous with offering us the sweet mung bean drink when we sat down. We ordered the very tasty ground pork steamed egg, spicy salty peanuts and bland greens. The flavorful steamed egg was the first to be finished- it was so good! We ordered: 1. Beef rib noodle soup- for the people who know what Taiwanese Beef noodle soup is like, this is a similar soup with plain fresh baby mustard greens instead of pickled mustard greens. The beef rib is perfectly seasoned and was the first entree to be finished. 2. The pork dumplings in bone broth soup (Shao Shou) was tasty in a different way. The dumplings was just flavorful seasoned meat without any onions and veggies. 3. Our order of cold tossed noodles with fried egg was bland even though we added extra sauce and a side order of sliced cold beef to it. We were hoping for something similar to Dan Dan noodles or the likes. Didn't get it. So we added the appetizers of seasoned peanuts, bland greens and a second helping of the sauce. It was better but not enough to order it again. The ambiance was welcoming. The place was clean and organized. The service was more or less fast with a team of 2 waiters and a third person who was cashier/server/greeter. We will be back. read more
MIAN's framed Michelin Bib Gourmand award isn't prominently featured in the restaurant but it is certainly deserved in my opinion. MIAN does what I would expect a Szechuan noodle place to do well, and I would enjoy coming back in the future to try some of their other noodle dishes. I personally ordered a spicy beef noodle soup (medium spiciness, fried egg added) and shared an order of pork dumplings (in chili sauce) with my friends. After eating beef noodle soup in Taipei just this summer, I can confidently say that MIAN's spicy beef noodle soup doesn't lose out to any of the ones I tried while I was there. The medium spiciness was good for me (not too spicy at all) and the Szechuan flavors are very apparent in the broth. If the taste of Szechuan peppercorns and its numbing flavor bother you, the broth might not be your things. I personally enjoyed the hearty broth; it was my favorite part of the dish. All the other ingredients were satisfactory as well (I would totally recommend the fried egg). The pork dumplings (in chili sauce) were surprisingly good in two ways: 1) the sauce is sweeter than I expected but in a good way 2) the dumplings came out piping hot (temperature wise) The dumplings were maybe a little flatter/smaller than I would have expected but I'm glad we got these delicious dumplings. Last but not least, something cool that I liked about MIAN is that they give you this sweet mung bean beverage in place of tea/water which they refill pretty generously. It honestly makes a lot of sense to provide a cold sweet drink to balance out the hot spicy dishes people eat so props to whoever came up with the idea. I would love to come back in the future to try out their Zhajiang mian. I'm looking forward to it already. read more

The noodles are perfect here. Ordered the beef rib noodle soup and cold spicy beef as an app. Both were delicious. My friend ordered the beef noodle soup on the spicy level and it made a huge difference. If your looking for that signature spicy flavor. Order the normal spice level. The medium did not have this particular flavor. Restaurant is clean and service is good read more
