MIAN West Adams

Went for late lunch and the clear broth beef noodle soup did not disappoint! not too spicy and very satisfying with good portions of meat and greens to every bite. There is a great happy hour with 50% off beers and 20% off noodle dishes from 3-6 pm. Will definitely be back soon.

Starter, sides are interesting. Shrimp popcorn and pumpkin cake taste cute. Cold appetiser set looks better than tastes. (Beef is too dry to chew) Beef noodle: generous portion but mediocre flavour. Definitely not authentic as they should be or as I have expected Golden wonton: tastes like dumpling as the pastry is too thick Pork noodle （杂酱）: a bit culturally offended that the extra hot version uses “sweet peppers”. This is not Sichuan spicy or Chongqing spicy. (I am only mentioning Chongqing as that is what they were mentioned on the LA times, displayed in store) So if you are looking for authentic flavours, not this branch for sure. But I applaud the owner to have established this spot and spread this food to more people! Well done.

We were recommend to this place by some friends who love noodle’s and dumplings wich is made fresh in house. Nice thing about this place is they have an open kitchen where you can watch them making your food. Some of the food kind spicy but it can be adjusted to how you like it. I started with spicy beef soup noodles, and chicken chili oil dumplings. The flavor was on point very delicious and fresh. It wasn’t very spicy and I was able to enjoy it. We really enjoyed every dish we ordered, and definitely will be back again.

Really nice, attentive and helpful staff. The food was good. We got to pick spicy/tingling levels. Whatever you do... Get the mung bean iced tea to help cool you down. It works!

The zajiang mian, spicy beef noodle soup and dumplings with chili oil were very good. We also got the lotus chips which was fried and decent. My friend ordered the steamed egg with minced pork that was also very good. You can choose your spicy and it matches fairly right with the spice and mala level. We also got the main cold combo that came with the spicy black fungus, Chengdu beef jerky, sweet & sour seaweed and spicy radish that were all very good. The staff was very nice and attended to our needs. You have to order your food thru the app/QR code which is slightly annoying but it works once you go thru the order system and get the hang of it. The music inside has a chill vibe to it and there are a lot of large windows and sunlight inside the restaurant. The parking situation in that area is hard to find and chaotic.
