Mian is a great spot if you love Chinese noodles. They offer a wide variety of noodle dishes from different regions of China, so you can really taste several styles in one place. It feels unique, modern, and the restaurant stays open late, which is probably why so many young people come here.
If you’re a noodle lover, this is definitely a fun and unique place to try. The prices are affordable, and the overall quality is solid. If you live in the Rowland Heights area, it’s worth stopping by at least once to check it out.

MIAN is such a great spot! We got the pork rib noodle soup and pork dumplings, and both were really good. The ribs were super tender, the broth had great flavor without being too greasy, and I love that they pack the noodles and soup separately so the noodles don’t get soggy. The dumplings were juicy and the sweet/spicy dipping sauce was spot on—not too spicy for the kids either.
The place is clean and chill, and the service was quick and friendly. Prices are super reasonable, which is always a win when eating out with the family.
Overall, it’s an easy, tasty meal that everyone enjoyed. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommend it to friends and family.

I came here on a chilly Saturday night (no pun intended) to get a fine bowl of beef noodle soup and some dumplings and that’s exactly what I got. The menu is via a QR code and you can customize your soup to your liking. I think next time I’ll get less chili oil just so it’s a little less oily for me. I think I got medium spice level and it wasn’t too bad. The beef noodle soup was very tasty, noodles were cooked well and the beef itself very tender and delicious. The pork dumplings were plump, juicy and the skin wasn’t too thicc. Service was reasonably fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and I would come back again. I’d give this spot a closer 4.3 to 4.4 rather than Google making stick to whole numbers. Until the next food adventure.

I came here with my family for a new restaurant in the area wasn’t disappointed. Service was fast and decently friendly, the restaurant was clean and had an interesting aesthetic. We got the century egg tofu appetizier and also the beef rolls both were pretty good though the beef rolls were too sweet in my opinion and kind of small. All of us liked our noodles, I got the location special super beef noodle or something that has beef rib, sliced beef shank, and beef belly. The meat was super good and the broth was flavorful though I’d recommend having level 2 or 3 spice level, I got daunted and got level 1 but it wasn’t really spicy. Definitely coming back with my friends.

The food was great. Took very little time for the food to come out and it was delicious. The smell, taste, and texture of the House Beef Noodles were amazing. The service was also excellent. Upon arriving it was clear that they were not busy, but my party was immediately seated. They brought out drinks from the get go. The appetizers, and our meals came out very fast. Later on, I was coughing excessively and the worker brought me extra napkins and water without me asking. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also very pleasant. It has a warm and friendly environment. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for something to eat.

Im going to start my review with: truly impeccable. My absolute favourite is the glutinous rise cakes, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Biting into it feels like an asmr video dream as if it is an unreal experience, the chewy part is like chewing soft candy but its softer, warmer, and 79x better. Love it so much. Service is also fantastical, I’ve been to two locations and the kindness is still the same. I will definitely be coming again.

I can confidently say this is the best noodle shop I’ve ever visited! From the moment I walked in, the aromatic broth smells whetted my appetite. The hand-pulled noodles were cooked to perfection – springy with just the right chewiness that shows the chef’s skill.
I ordered the signature beef noodle soup, and it exceeded all expectations. The broth was rich, deeply flavorful with layers of spices that simmered for hours. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the portion was extremely generous for the price.
What impressed me equally was the service. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the owner came by to check if we needed anything. The restaurant itself was spotlessly clean with a cozy, authentic atmosphere.
The homemade chili oil and pickled vegetables on the table were fantastic additions that took the meal to another level. Every component showed care and authenticity.
I’ll definitely be returning regularly and bringing all my friends. This hidden gem deserves all the praise it gets! If you’re craving authentic, soul-warming noodles made with passion, look no further.
**Pro tip:** Come hungry – the portions are huge and you’ll want to finish every last drop!

If you are looking for a decent place to get some really good dry noodle, go to Mian in Rowland Heights.
Here’s what we ordered and here are my ratings:
* Chengdu Zajiang Noodle – $13.00. 4.5 out of 5 stars. The dry noodle did not disappoint and was the star of the show with the fried egg and bok choy on top. I would come back just for this dish alone, and probably will.
* House Beef Noodles – $15.00. 3.out of 5 stars. We weren’t as big of fans of the beef noodle soup and think there are better options in the Rowland area. The meat was tougher and dryer, and the noodles were overcooked.
* Beef in chili sauce. 4 out of 5 stars. This appetizer packs a punch with the chili.
* French Fries – rate 4.5 out of 5. This was a surprisingly tasty dish to have on the side. Definitely order it. You won’t be disappointed!
It was very easy to get a table at this restaurant (no long wait). There is ample parking for all of the restaurants in this complex.

Around 4.2-4.5 ⭐. Service is good. Prices are okay based on food quality. The beef (tender) is in a good flavor but soup is a little bit salty. Sour and spicy wonton is pretty good! Recommended people who want Szechuan food or spicy

Went to Mian in Rowland Heights because my son was craving noodles, and we ended up discovering a gem. I ordered the Chengdu noodle, and it instantly became my favorite — the best Chengdu noodle I’ve ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful, the spice level had the perfect kick, and the noodles were so bouncy and satisfying. If you love bold flavors, this spot is a must-try.
