“ This place is good! I was craving dumplings and theirs was so comforting. We got dumplings and the beef noodle soup but with almost no spiciness. Thank goodness you can adjust the spice level. The popcorn chicken was also very freshly made. Everything was so hearty and I can't wait to go back. ”

“ Food is amazing. Order from your phone so service is very minimal in that aspect. An introvert's dream, lol. Noodle dishes were solid and comforting. Dumplings were good but nothing out of the ordinary but clean flavors all around. I also liked we had the place to ourselves for the quality of food we got. There's enough in the noodle soup to bring extra home but I couldn't help but devour my beef soup. Also, the touch of complementary tea and kimchi was awesome. ”

“ 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! ”

“ Was craving some noodle soup and this place doesn't disappoint! Very clean establishment. You order with a QR code from your table. They instantly bring some tea and pickled cabbage. We ordered the Beef House Noodles with extra beef. Also ordered steamed bok choy and black fungus. Noodles were bouncy and chewy. Broth was rich and flavorful, beef was so tender. Definitely recommend this place for a good meal! ”

“ This review is long time coming!! The first time I had Mian noodles was "post" pandemic when take-outs were still prevalent. I've been a happy customer since 2021 & make sure to get their food any time I'm in Houston. Though I never had the pleasure of dining-in at their restaurant until very recently! I already knew their food is top notch, and I'm happy to report their service is exceptional as well. Unfortunately, I didn't get the server's name but she was so sweet, attentive, and went above & beyond. My friend loved their serving bowls and wanted to know more about it, and she did her best to get the information for him. They're located in Chinatown in a strip with other restaurants & stores, so there's plenty of parking nearby. Inside is very tidy & cozy. We came for an early lunch & it wasn't too packed so we were seated quickly. There were other groups also enjoying their share of noodles soups and appetizers. They offer different spice levels to cater to everyone's taste preferences which is always a plus. You place the order on your smartphone by scanning the QR code on your table. That takes you to an online menu where each person from the table can add their item to the cart, which is then added to one collective order/bill. As for food, I absolutely love the complimentary spicy cabbage. I hope they never take it away!!! I remember them having lotus roots in the past which they no longer do or I must've missed it. We always get the spicy black fungus as well. You cannot go wrong with the spicy beef noodle soups!!! The beef tender, the noodles chewy, & both cooked to perfection. The broth is so flavorful & divine. This dish is perfect for any weather but especially on cold days. The portions are large & can easily be shared between two people, especially if you're ordering other items. The popcorn chicken was crunchy on the outside & tender on the inside with an addicting flavor. I kept going back for more. I also tried the spicy & sour wontons for the first time, & it blew my mind. Soooo good!!! For dessert, we always try to get the sweet iced jelly. I say "try" because they make a limited amount each day and there were times when they had run out. You mix the jelly with all the toppings it comes with for the perfect bite. Overall, I cannot recommend them enough & I look forward to my next visit!!! ”

“ Mian is a more modern restaurant in chinatown that highlights szechuan noodles. Each bowl is delicately crafted and has remained consistent for each of my visits throughout the years. With each visit, they also offer mungbean tea that pairs well with the spice of their dishes. The spicy pork rib is definitively my favorite noodle bowl here. It features a rich broth with chewy noodles. The noodles take the broth really well with each bite. The pork ribs are tender and juicy. Some of my other outstanding favorites off the menu include the zajiang noodles with peas and the red oil wontons. The ordering is through the website app so it is a very seamless process. The establishment is also kept up with and very clean. I have always left Mian very satisfied with my meal. Definitely give this place a try if you are in the area. ”

“ YUM! the house beef noodle soup was SO yummy. i loved the portioning of all the noodles, veggies, and beef. the staff was super friendly and made a great effort to even chat with me about where i got my purse (LOL) -- service was quick and efficient. very well done the restaurant inside was quiet, pleasantly lit, and cozy. everything flowed really nicely, and the decor is really put together. ”

“ Amazingly generous portions and fantastic food! I wasn't expecting 2 whole beef ribs in my soup but was pleasantly surprised and soo satisfied after my meal here. This is the best spot in Houston if you want to get noodle soups, spicy wontons, and delicious appetizers. ”

“ We enjoyed date night at Mian! The food was definitely the biggest hit of the night. We opted for the Zajiang noodles with extra beef and pork to share, as well as the chili oil dumplings. You order on your phone and the servers bring the food directly out to you. The dumplings came out hot and fresh and were so tasty! We dug in to the noodles next which went wonderfully with the pork and egg. We mixed the beef in - it was protein-friendly and a good amount of food for us to share. We chose the less oil option and are very glad we did as the noodles were already on the oily side. The medium spicy level was also a bit spicier than we expected - it was very delicious but be careful if you have a lower spice tolerance! The only thing I found strange was that when we asked for a paper menu, we were told they didn't have one, though we later saw another family given a paper menu. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would love to come back! ”
