If you are craving rice noodles with soup. This is one of the places you can go in Rolland heights. The noodle soup is well cooked and delicious + you get to choose your spice levels.Try the mung bean soup if you are looking for a healthier option.

I personally did not like the noodles as much. It’s chewy and bouncy but didn’t have any flavors. The soup flavor just slides off the noodles.. the soup is great though! You can get extra noodles for free! Only for dine-in! We ordered Wood ear and it’s pretty pricey for a little container.. The interior is nice and spacious. It’s located right next to the food court!

🔥🔥🔥 all I gotta say is this place is 💣! You’ll be plenty full with the bowl of noodles, the dumplings are extra 😋 the wife and I love the Mungbean drink, it used to be free but now $1, not bad and well worth it! You order through online so not too much need for the waiter. Talk about a futuristic restaurant!

CHINA 🇨🇳 (Sichuan)Eat the World LA review:As sometimes happens with translation, English speakers are not given the full breadth of what might be happening inside, instead of flavored little noodles (probably tasty noodles when translated properly), we just get noodles. Miàn is definitely all about the noodles, and specifically those enjoyed in Chongqing and Sichuan provinces. And they are definitely tasty.Miàn is the next step from popular James Beard-nominated chef Tony Xu of the Chengdu Taste franchise, and now has even opened a second location in Rowland Heights. The interior is sleek and efficient and from the beginning it is assumed you will slip in and out as quickly as humanly possible. It is not large but they expect high turnover as there is usually a brief (or not brief) wait involved.The menu, while spread out on quite a few pages, is actually quite limited. They focus on a small range of noodles, served sometimes hot and others cold, sometimes dry and other times as soup. This focus ensures what they do offer is all done in fairly amazing renditions.

Nice and clean, good service and interesting dishes. Not a big fan of the noodles we got but thats up to personal preference. The place where we used to get our spicy beef noodle soup closed down so we are looking for another place that serves a similar one!

Ive always loved their food since their first store. Beef noodles and steamed eggs are the dishes I order every time. Now they have eight stores, and the taste is still my favorite. And price fair! Their service is also very good, I feel very satisfied every time. Highly recommended Mian!!

This place serves mostly spicy dishes (noodle) with Sichuan pepper. Which it can leaves you with a numbing and spicy sensation. The noodle is tasty and well flavor. I ordered the intenstine noodle but the intenstine quantity were less than generous but taste was decent. Serve with free and refillable bean soup which it compliment very well with spicy dishes. Service is attentive and friendly. The place is clean and nicely decor. Some part of the parking lot is under construction at the time of this writing. I recommend parking at the plaza next door and walk over instead. Recommended.

Great Szechuan restaurant. Cold dishes of black fungus and spicy cucumbers complemented our noodle dishes, spicy beef and clear beef noodles. Pork dumpling with that garlic sauce is a must. Provecho!

Nothing beat a good bowl of noodle soup. Simple elegant interior, more Japanese ramen restaurant style than typical Chinese.Good attentive services and good noodles.

Yummy cucumbersAnd here’s a tip: put the noodles and soup in your spoon with some vegetables or meat and eat it at once. It tastes better

Mian noodles may be a small chain, but make no mistake, their dishes pack the unique and authentic flavor of a Chinese hole-in-the-wall with the class and polished look of a trendy boba shop for an experience thats not to be missed. For Chinese food connoisseurs, particular those looking to experience or already fans of Sichuan spice, Mian is a winner through and through.For the uninitiated, authentic Sichuan spice has a particular sensation setting it apart from your regular red hot pepper. Sichuanese spice is a numbing spice, which tends to leave your tongue tingling and your throat comparatively fine. A truly unique and, for this reviewer, pleasing taste worth experiencing at least once, Mian offers spice levels which let you ease your way into this if so desired, something other authentic Sichuanese places dont always do. (Worth noting that although Chinese was certainly a preferred language, servers all spoke fluent English so if youre not Mandarin fluent it shouldnt be an issue).The dishes themselves are mostly noodles and noodle soups with a single page of cold sides (and scrumptious meat pie) and anything with ground meat is a treat, but the real kicker here is that if you eat in, you can order extra noodles. For FREE. AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. I felt one extra batch was perfect and my cohort got two batches. The value in this for noodle lovers is tremendous, especially since the noodles, while they look humble enough, have a great chewiness and addictive texture. Potstickers come with an authentic slightly spicy dip that really brings out a hearty flavor.For taste, uniqueness, and the unparalleled value of unlimited free noodles, Mian goes to the top of my list. While it might be busier on weekends, we went to the Roland Hills location and found ample parking and no wait. Its possible Sichuan spice might not speak to you and thats really the only reservation I might suggest for some. For the rest of us though, they serve one Mian noodle bowl, and thats a good thing.

First time here today, half way done with my bowl of noodles and I bite into an eggshell the size of a nickel. The spicy wontons steamed meat inside tasted like mush. Gotta have an acquired taste for this China restaurant.

I love it!!! We ordered the house beef noodle soup and the hot and sour noodle so pop, as well as the spicy black fungus. They were all so good!!Pricing is reasonable, inside is very clean with minimalistic aesthetic. We went for lunch on a weekday around 1:30, and it wasn’t busy at all! After being seated we ordered from our phones (with a QR code). The menu was very comprehensive and made it easy to remove items from the dish and adjust the spice level.10/10: will definitely be coming back!!

Had takeout from them, the 钟水饺，dumplings, can say its pretty darn good for being in America and not Chengdu.They seem generous with the intestines in the noodles fish as well, which I appreciate. I suppose innards are cheaper and higher quality in America.

I visited this restaurant twice and service was fast, fresh, and delicious! First visit I wanted to try the short rib bowl, but they had sold out for the day, so I had the classic noodle dish (yumm)! The second visit I went at time of opening and ordered short ribs, again delicious! They serve a cabbage dish as appetizer it’s so good I kept asking for more! If you eat in you can ask for extra bowl of noodles! Love this place!

Ive heard of MIAN and wanted to try them for a very long time. From reviews and word of mouth I had high expectations from them. Coming here I wanted to try a lot of their menu so I brought friends to help with me. First thing I was worried about was since their noodles all looked very similar, that they would all have the same base taste with different meats/ingredients. To my surprised this was not the case at all. Each dish had its own unique taste that I could clearly tell from one another.To start, they provided a refreshing cold mung bean drink. This will be key when you finally have your meal. It is surprisingly refreshing after all the spicy noodles youll be having.The first item to come out was the steamed egg and minced pork. This was such a simple yet elegant dish. The egg was so light, smooth and creamy. With the pork that topped it off, it adds the perfect amount of savoriness to the dish. You must get this as a starter to your meal. It is just such a comforting appetizer.As soon as I finished the appetizer the main dishes came out.House Beef Noodles:This dish was a very typical beef noodle soup, but had a great rich broth. Noodles were cooked perfectly and had a great chew to them. Meat was very tender. Highly recommend this if you just want a traditional beef noodle soup.Chengdu Zajian Noodles:This dish was delicious. The same ground pork from the steamed egg was now on top of those amazing bouncy noodles. All this is topped off with a pan fried egg with bok choy. Mixed all together with a bite of each ingredient in one spoon full is just heavenly. And when the spice or the saltiness gets too much, have a piece of their pickled cabbage and a drink of the mung bean drink and youll be ready to go again.Special Gizzard Noodles:Now this dish was my favorite. If you love the taste of innards, this dish is for you. The gizzards added a change in texture in the dish while adding that gamy flavor, which I love. The gamy flavor of the gizzards works so well with the spicy chili oil of this dish. To counter all the richness the pickled celery was a nice touch to the dish. This dish may not be for everyone, but I personally think it was the best dish I tried.Spare Rib Noodles:This dish was one of the biggest surprises to me. I expected the dish to just be their house beef noodles but with spare rib instead, but to my surprise it was totally different. The soup broth had a strong mushroom flavor to it and made it taste completely different from the other noodle soup. The spare rib was melt in your mouth. I think I liked this better than the beef noodle soup. If you just want to try something a bit different from the original beef noodle soup, dont miss out on this.Hot and Sour Chaoshou:Lastly, the hot and sour dumpling soup. This was probably the best thing to have in between a few bites of any of the previous dishes. The hot and sour soup was a nice refresher from all the richness in all the dishes. After having a few dumplings and the soup, it made me want to come back to all my other dishes. The dumplings themselves were wonderful. The dumpling skin was very thin and there was a generous amount filling. I dont know why, but it made me want to eat more and more, so if you want to be able to eat more, make sure to get this dish.Overall, I was pleasantly surprised about this place. Everything had a unique taste to it and it was so refreshing to see that. Even though the noodles werent hand pulled or anything, they were cooked to perfection and complimented the ingredients used. Highly recommend coming here to try anything here. I will be back to try more of their menu in the future.

The best noodle in town!!!! A MUST-TRY noodle house in the east of LA County. There are many Chinese noodle restaurants in Rowland Heights area, but Miàn is on the top of them, period. I am eating in this restaurant three or four times per week, and never get tired on it. Pork Dumpling, Zajianh Noodle with Peas, Special Gizzard Noodle, OMG! You MUST TRY THEM!!!!

Trust me ！Don‘t go this place ，poor service and terrible food。I ordered rice noodle, rice noodle hard, not cooked, almost impossible to swallow, I asked the waitress to help me change, but I found that change a noodles before is almost the same hard, so i try to order normal noodles, but when I told to the waitress reaction condition again, always didnt give me to solve, as not to hear, I wont come, too terrible experience at a time。

A delicious little noodle shop, you can choose the spiciness. There is free mung bean water, which is slightly sweet. I ordered wontons thinking it would be a snack, but I didnt expect it to be a huge bowl. But they are all delicious. The environment is also very good and very friendly to children.

When I ordered the Mapo Tofu noodles, I was told to use less oil, but in the end there was a lot of oil without salt. The portion was too small. The beef was too sweet when eaten cold. It was not made that day. It was not fresh. The peppers were soaked and had no beef flavor. They were kept in the refrigerator. There are many geniuses like this. It tastes like eating a rubber strip. It only tastes salty and will never come back again. The pickled pepper chicken offal was just a bit more delicious. I don’t want to come here again. It’s expensive and tastes bad. I even get diarrhea after eating it.

Im really speechless. My partner likes to eat their bowls of mixed noodles, and he often buys them. But the last time he bought the noodles, there was no ingredients, white noodles, and they had already been taken away. I called back and told him, but the store didnt say anything, so he just let it go. Then today I was anxious to buy noodles from him at noon, and then I had to rush to a far away place, so I called and asked if they could deliver it to me. At first, they said yes, but then they said no, and then they asked me to place the order through the app myself. I was asked to use that QR code to buy, but I couldn’t register after a long time of effort. I really didn’t have time to do it, so I called the store and asked them to help me place an order from their app. I Zelle it to them, and then No matter what I said, it didn’t help, so forget it. I asked my friend to help me place an order on another app using my mobile phone. Then after it was delivered, I drove to a place far away to deliver the food. Then I ordered three portions of noodles for three people to eat. When I opened it, I was given a pair of chopsticks. I was really speechless. Didnt you give chopsticks according to the portions? The three of me are now looking at each other, who should use these chopsticks? Is anyone else grabbing noodles with their hands? Then I called the store to ask how to solve the problem, and then the clerk told me to call the store on Monday, and then said to call the store on Tuesday. He said that they couldnt solve it by calling their manager, and then he told me to give me the managers phone number and asked me to call. I gave it to him and then said he didnt have the managers phone number. This is so simple, it changes every second. Im really speechless. I don’t know how to eat this noodles now. I’m really speechless.

A noodle restaurant that is very suitable for taking children. There are spicy and non-spicy noodles. We ordered Huaxing fried egg noodles and simmered steamed eggs. It was amazing. The fried egg noodles tasted like tomatoes. It really can’t be cooked at home. The steamed eggs are very tender. Highly recommended
