    Broccoli
    Justin L.

    I'm Chinese and saw this place near my house, so I decided to give it a try. Overall, it was pretty good! I was a little concerned when I first saw the broccoli because it didn't look very authentic, but the flavor was a pleasant surprise. The spicy beef noodle soup was pretty much what I expected, and I'd probably go for an even spicier version next time. The prices were also really good for what you get. Would definitely return!

    I ordered from Mian on GH. I ordered the Chengdu fries (very tasty), spicy broccoli (yummy, perfectly cooked), and Sichuan hot & spicy noodle soup. The last item is the one that disappointed. The ingredients were each tasty on their own, but the dish was so incredibly salty that I stopped eating because I was concerned for my health. I'd love to know why they made it so salty. Is it possible the lid on the salt container fell off, dumping an enormous amount into the soup? I would never order this dish again. Excuse me while I go check my blood pressure.

    Numb Beef Soup Noodles*
    Rickey K.

    Felt like some hot broth on a mellow summer night, why not. Came in and ordered something new, their numb beef noodle soup and their golden soup chao shou. Boy did this hit the spot! It completely zapped out any buggy feeling I had inside! The broth was simply fantastic! The noodles were al dente with a chew and if the noodle soup alone wasn't enough the golden soup chao shou was bountiful and the dumplings were bursting in flavor, the soup was very deep and earthy! Service was quick, fast and polite! Excellent times!

    Food was delicious and made right in front of us! A bit pricey but service was quick. Ordered completely through the QR code posted on the table. Environment was clean. Not too much parking in this location. Had to park on the side of the street. Highly recommend the beef rib noodles!

    Happy hour menu
    Kandece B.

    Located on Adams and redondo blvd. You could miss it if you go fast and there is street parking. A friend mentioned this place raving about their fries. I went by to visit It was a nice space and seating are wooden benches. The menu is on a QR code. Love the set up though. Service was quick, I ordered fries with a noodle dish that had meat. The fries were good, had a nice Cajun seasoning to it. The noodle dish with the meat was heavy. Maybe ill try something different next time. I ordered a drink but it was ok.

    Sichuan Cold Noodles (V)*

    So glad to see this franchise opened a location on the west side! I think they're the first to take the Sichuan cuisine and turned it into a "formula" operation- to me this means you no longer have to drive to Chinatown or San Gabriel Valley, or find a small mom and Pop restaurant owned by someone from that part of the world. But what's more meaningful is the quality is now standardized, and the prices are much more affordable! We came to try their beef noodle soup and their dumplings. I have to say their beef noodle soup was very authentic! The wontons (called Chao Shou, which is what they are called in some parts of China) were excellent. If you like Chinese noodles or dumplings, or if you are a fan of Ding Tai Feng, you could come to this place and your money would buy you a lot more food! But don't expect the high end, decor or service in some of the more expensive places, this is an affordable and fast service type of place! With today's inflated prices in many restaurants, I think this is cheap eats at its best! My number one recommendation is their beef rib noodle soup; their dry noodles are also excellent; for dumplings, I recommend the pork flavor; and lastly, their mung bean drink is very refreshing. West Adams seems to be in the process of being gentrified, but it's still a mixed commercial and residential area. So at this writing (2025) parking seems pretty easy to find, don't know how long that's gonna last, however.

    Mapo Tofu Noodles (Vegan)*
    Benjamin R.

    I tried the Mapo Tofu Noodles! I honestly wasn't that impressed by the dish but it still tasted good! The portions were a bit small and the spice could have been a lot stronger for me. I just don't think I have a reason to come back when I've enjoyed mapo tofu more in other places!

    Beef in Chili Sauce
    Peter S.

    I had forgotten about MIAN in West Adams with all the new restaurants opening in the last few years so it was time to go back. Parking is not great as West Adams is busy and the side streets nearby are residential and pretty full with locals. Easy to get a table and via QR code all the food and drink is ready to go when you are - Started with the chili oil dumplings - first bite I was confused at the lack of flavor. But then we let them sit in the sauce for a few minutes and there it was, a really nice heat without overpowering the dumplings. Beef in chili sauce - we didn't realize it was cold - but had that good spicy tingle that you get from the Sichuan peppers. It was almost like a jerky, just not as chewy. The Kung Pao chicken was super fresh and moist with a perfect amount of heat and we finished off with the spicy beef soup noodles. Sort of ramen, sort of brisket, lots of great flavor! Price are reasonable (how often do you say that these days) and we'll be back again to try some additional dishes. *Quick tip - you can adjust not only the spiciness of the dishes but also the 'numb' which is really fun to mix/match.

    Excellent! We will definitively be back. Easy parking at the time of day we went (4pm Sat). The staff is friendly. The menu is a Qr code. The restaurant is clean and decor is simple and clean. I do wished they had at least one booth or something of the sort - so my husband with back problems could enjoy. He would enjoyed the restaurant.... The best thing I was able to do was to take a short rib spicy noodle soup. He loved and enjoyed! It was VERY well packed-up (noodles separated from the broth and the meet). For also had the sampler appetizers... they were excellent and highly recommend. Note: they have lunch special combos and today they had the special that noodles were $

    Mel D.

    I stopped by for lunch and for the first time I didn't have the beef noodle soup. We opted for trying other dishes - fried rice, orange chicken and kung pao chicken. For the starter we had the pan fried dumpling which I highly recommend. Everything else was mediocre. I wasn't impressed. Service is always just so-so. I was also disappointed that they took off their lunch special from the menu - not sure if it's still worth it for lunch but the prices are good for dinner. I might want to check out their happy hour since it's 50% beers and 20% off noodle dishes. Their beef noodle soups are very good. The back parking behind the restaurant is no longer available so the only option is street parking. during lunch it's very easy but in the evening it can be a bit more difficult to find parking.

    Spicy Beef Rib Soup Noodles*
    Kayla M.

    Place is nicely lit but the music is a bit too loud for my tastes. The food and service was great, though. I got the rib soup and the soup was great, just the rib wasnt fall apart tender opposed to other soupy ribs I've had. They don't charge extra to substitute for rice noodles so that's great! I'll definitely be back to try their other soups.

    Bug
    Kyra N.

    For starters, staff were very rude. I'm not one to complain, but customer service is a lost art. What really pushed me to write this review was the BUG I found in my soup. The BOTTOM of my soup. Absolutely disgusting. 0 out of 10.

You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare. The broth is a little on the thicker end, but super filling. -Seafood Kalguksu: the broth is so flavorful and it comes filled to the brim with all types of seafood! The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

We initially provided our order to an Asian server, but were later assisted by a different Hispanic/Latina waitress. A male staff member also checked in with a thumbs‑up/thumbs‑down gesture, which felt unclear and added to the overall inconsistency. I generally prefer when servers take orders with a notepad. While many can remember everything perfectly without one, in this case it would have helped -- we never received our water, and the waitress had to reconfirm our meat selection. Small details like that affected the flow of the meal. The food was decent. I would reorder the Yuzu Ratan ($19) and the Basque Cheesecake ($11), as those were the highlights. However, the Mango Margarita ($15) didn't taste like mango at all, and my boyfriend chose not to correct it. Overall, the dishes and drinks were just average. We've been trying to explore neighborhoods outside of our usual Koreatown and Silver Lake spots, so it was disappointing that this experience didn't stand out more. The restaurant does offer reservations, which is convenient, but the service and attention to detail could use improvement.

While this may be a factor of it being delivered, the noodles were extremely mushy. Not even slightly softer than al dente, but very bloated.

However, the portion sizes of both the noodle soup and dumplings were great. I could tell the quality of the ingredients was high, especially with a mountain of vegetables and 3 dumplings already coming with the bowl. The dumplings were soft and honestly the star of the meal, I would've loved a specialty sauce to go with it. The kimchi was SPICY as well but tasty. I don't want to knock it down to 3 stars as I felt like it's unfair that I got takeout, but there's a chance if I'm in town again I would rather try the original kalguksu soup in person for a chance that the noodle soup is a better texture.
