    Craving noodle soup in Rowland so we got beef noodle soups, mild spicy was bit too spicy to me but other than that it gave what it needed to give ‍ easy quick bite option

    Ziling M.

    This is the perfect spot when you're craving noodles, whether it's soup noodles or dry noodles, they do an excellent job. The highlight for me was the cheesy tofu noodle. Honestly, I didn't think it would be good, but it actually blew me away. The sauce was flavorful and balanced out the richness of the cheese perfectly. Everything we tried was satisfying, and I can't wait to swing by again to try more of their menu.

    Chengdu Zajiang Noodles

    First time trying this Mian location and I think it does taste slightly different than the San Gabriel location. The sauce in the Chengdu Zajiang Noodles tastes a little bit saltier. Noodle texture is still good though! Self ordering from the phone and minimal waitress interaction. The food came out pretty fast. It's pretty spacious inside and there are a good amount of tables and seats.

    Love this place! They do sichuan flavors very well and it tastes pretty authentic. The service was fast and speedy and they accommodated for our big party. The interior was clean, not too loud, and well decorated. Loved the experience here!

    Cucumber

    My friend and I were really craving noodles, and found this place in the area of where we want dessert. And what a great choice that was! The noodles were the most amazing texture, the most tastiest sauce, and overall the most delightful experience. Service was so fast and really kind, and the seating was so spacious. We really really enjoyed our dinner here, and will most definitely be back.

    Pork rib
    Kimberly W.

    Got the pork rib noodle soup for pick up. Was ready by the time I arrived, around 20 minutes. Food was very delicious and not too spicy! Noodles had the perfect texture and the ribs were very tender. Love that they separate the noodles and soup so that you can add the fresh noodles in when you're ready.

    Scratched the itch for some beef noodle soup. Broth is very flavorful and they give you a lot for food for the price - honestly enough for 2 people. Recommend getting it with the mung bean drink, surprisingly refreshing and paired well with the spicy appetizer we got.

    Food came real fast. I love the cucumber side but the radish tasted rather different than what i expected and i didn't like it. You order through a qr code. Noodles were good.

    AMBIANCE - Located towards the end of a plaza, you enter a pretty luxurious feeling restaurant inside with wicker baskets on the wall, mesh light fixtures, warm lighting. There's plenty of parking but I can see it getting busy. FOOD - I ordered their House Beef Noodle Soup with a side of intestines. This was such a warming and hearty bowl of noodles that I loved! The braised beef was soft and perfectly cooked to my liking. The noodles were smooth and delicious, while the broth itself was the highlight for me. It was incredibly flavorful and spicy enough to get a nice kick. I would absolutely order this. The side of intestines was just a recommendation from a friend, and although I loved it, I could've gone without it. Still very tasty! SERVICE - Nice, decent service. No complaints!

    Today my noodle-loving family tried a new place: Mian. Parking was not too hard, we came in and found the perfect table, and ordered 3 appetizers, and 2 noodle bowls. Speaking of ordering things: they have online ordering, FYI. The service is good, but you don't see them much, really. The dishes come faster than average, and I smelled the noodle sauce before I knew it. The first appetizer that came was the crispy cucumber. It was crunchy and satisfying, then I felt like Remy from Ratatouille tasting something he liked for the first time. They sure are right about calling it crispy. The second appetizer that came was the Steamed egg and minced pork in a mug. When I first saw it, I thought the egg was tofu because it looked so soft. It felt like this savory, tasty pudding. The third appetizer was the Chengdu style potato snack. It was spicy but I also felt the calm potato cooling down the spice. It had the right amount of everything. Not too far later, the noodles arrived! We got the house beef noodles, except I felt that if we got normal spicy level, I would not be able to handle it. It just had this irresistible smell and... Oops I think I ate it all! The other noodle was the Golden chicken soup noodle. It was like an Asian sichuan spicy version of chicken noodle soup! I would definitely come to Mian again. This place is highly recommended for fellow noodle lovers!

    Clear Broth Beef Noodle Soup
    Ryan S.

    Ordered the clear broth beef noodle soup here, and it met my expectations. The beef was soft and tender, and the noodles had a nice texture. The broth also was flavorful despite it being the clear broth. The portion size was a little small, but overall, the noodles were great!

    Keira R.

    MIAN absolutely nailed it! I came here craving something warm and comforting with my family and left seriously impressed. We ordered a lot of food. The pork rib noodle soup was phenomenal. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the broth had a deep, rich flavor without being too oily or salty. The best part? They pack the noodles and soup separately for takeout, so nothing gets soggy, and thoughtful! Also tried the pork dumplings, which were juicy and bursting with umami. The sweet and spicy sauce they paired it with was perfectly balanced. Definitely a must-try! Loved the vibe of the place so modern, clean, and cozy. Service was quick and friendly. Will 100% be back to try the beef noodle soup next time! (Attached a few pics for the foodies!)

    This is my favorite Mian location so far (I have been to a few other locations). I feel like their portions are generous (most intestine I have gotten) and the quality has been consistent. I recommend less salty and less oily if you want the cleaner taste of the soup. My favorite are pork ribs, pork belly and intestine noodles soup. Beef was just okay because it was quite chewy and tough last time I got it. I really love the texture of the noodles here. It is nice that you can order through your phone and choose the spice levels or customize your order. The orders come out pretty quick too. The ambiance was great. The place looked new and clean with decent amount of seating. I was surprised that it was pretty empty on a Friday night. Parking or seating has never been an issue. This is my comfort food (quick and hearty noodles soup with a mala kick) and I highly recommend it.

Portions are small and not sufficient for two or more people. When we tried to order a second round, only two dishes arrived out of the 3. On the third attempt, nothing arrived at all. On top of that, the wait time for sliced proteins was extremely long. While the menu is promoted as AYCE, the service appears to intentionally slow down and limit access to the main protein items, which is misleading and disappointing.

The food took eight minutes and nine seconds. Fast time! As mentioned, the Beef Rib Noodle Soup ($16.50 - Mild) is wonderful! It arrived picturesque and delicious!!

We got the half tomato (light spice) and half spicy soup (mild) base and both were really good! I might upgrade to med next time. The meat quality was great, esp the 1 wagyu plate per person that comes with AYCE. Surprisingly the fatty beef was so tender as well. Even the mala beef didn't hurt going in...or out.
