Mian & Bao’s name draws from the romanized Chinese characters for mian (wheat noodles) and bao
(steamed buns), symbolizing the union of Sichuan and Shanghai culinary traditions. While Sichuan
cuisine has been the cornerstone of our previous success, Mian & Bao introduces gentler, and mildly
sweet tastes of Shanghai cuisine, providing a fine counterpoint to the bold flavors that are adored by fans.
This new concept offers options for both spice lovers and those who prefer milder fare.

Mian & Bao is one of our favorite spots. We’ve been here several times and it’s consistently great.
The food is always fresh with generous portions. Highly recommend the chili oil wontons, spicy beef noodle, stir-fried shrimp noodles, xiao long bao with shrimp, pan-fried pork buns, and stir-fried broccoli — everything is flavorful and well cooked.
Nice, clean ambiance, very kid-friendly, and excellent service. The app-based ordering system is super efficient and the food comes out fast and fresh every time. Bathrooms are very clean and have all the basics, including a baby changing table, which we really appreciate.
We’ll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend.

Had a great dining experience here! The beef noodle soup was rich and flavorful with perfectly tender beef and a well-balanced broth. The fried chicken cutlet was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, freshly made and very satisfying. The white cut chicken was also excellent—simple, clean flavors and very tender meat. Overall, the food quality was impressive and everything tasted authentic. Would definitely come back and recommend this place!

This was my second time at this restaurant. It’s super hard not to order everything on the menu; it’s just so good! Service is fast, and so is the food. I waited 10 minutes or less for them to start bringing out what we ordered.
It’s also a great spot if you want to eat alone. You just scan the QR code on the table to order and send it. If you’re looking for a place with minimal interaction, you’ll love this spot.
Parking is tough because of the area it’s in, just a really busy spot. We usually park about a block away and walk to the restaurant unless you want to circle around a few times for parking!
I totally recommend the chicken cutlet, soup dumplings, and pork buns! They have a nice mayo that comes on the side of a dish that tastes great with everything!
Plus, everything on the menu is really cheap, so you won’t break the bank trying all the food!

Mien & Bao in the Triangle is such a gem in Austin, and I’m so glad I stopped by! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean, bright, and beautifully decorated the space is. The modern décor mixed with warm touches really creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.
I also want to give a special shoutout to Lisa, who was an absolutely amazing server. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the dining experience even better.
I tried multiple dishes during my visit, and every single one was delicious. You can really taste the quality and freshness in everything they serve. The flavors were balanced, comforting, and thoughtfully prepared. It’s rare to visit a place where every dish hits the mark, but Mien & Bao really delivered.

The best Asian food I’ve had in a really long time. I’m so happy we decided to stop by here last minute. Everything was amazing. Great house music, beautiful interior, super friendly staff, and phenomenal food!!! Will definitely return and bring friends here. The star of the show was the spicy beef noodles.

Really enjoyed our visit to Mian and Bao in Austin. The service was great. They brought water to the table before we even sat down which was a nice touch. The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere and parking was easy. The food was tasty and we would definitely come back again.

Fun Chinese restaurant in the triangle development. We loved slurping the delicious sauce from their soup dumplings, which we had along with crunchy fried vegetable dumplings and ice jello dessert.
The staff were friendly and courteous, and the place has lovely decorations. They advertise having a weekday happy hour. They share a parking strip and some spaces in a parking garage with adjacent businesses.

We arrived around 1:30pm and were seated right away. We were asked to order online from a QR code on the table. This was just a bit confusing but the waitress straightened things out for us. We ordered noodles and shrimp, hot and sour soup, fruit tea, and appetizers. Our order arrived in short time piping hot. Everything we tried had authentic flavors and was very tasty. Our waitress was good and inside the place was nicely decorated. At the end of our meal we were definitely full and content. I very much enjoyed dining here.

I tried Mian and Bao today and everything was amazing. I ordered the 20 dollar combo with the chili oil wontons, beef noodle soup, and a fresh juice. The wontons were tender and flavorful and the beef noodle soup was one of the best I have had. The broth was rich, the beef was very tender and the portion size was great. Ingredients tasted fresh, I enjoyed everything I ordered!
The restaurant is small but really cute and the service was excellent. Alejandro helped me and he was friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back.

Visited during Chinese new year. Loved the dishes. Hospitality is good. Food is served hot and quick. Recommend the mono and fried rice. Rice/Noodles Quantity is sufficient for a person. Would love to visit again. Parking can be challenging over the weekends as there are fewer spots. Have a nice dining.
