Mifen101

We arrived on a Saturday a few mins after they opened. We got seated right away but the tables were all filled up by 11:30am. As a first timer here, we decided to get the signature beef noodles, with rice noodles. Went on a cold and rainy, and it is absolutely the best suiting food for that weather. The soup was light yet hearty, and the noodles was soft but not soggy. Overall, I would 100% recommend others to check this place out

Both of us got the signature Beef Mifen.The broth and flavor profile was quite mid.Not sure how others are giving it rave reviews.Maybe it helps that we're asians ourselves as we have a wider range of dishes we've experienced. This is me literally trying to rationalize/understand the high reviews this place received.If it was this alone, i wouldve given this place a 3, but the extra star deduction comes from the fact that the server was standing right next to me when i was paying at the POS and just kept staring at the screen. This is the ONLY reason why i lowered my original tip. After he saw this, his kind demeanor went from kind/positive to well, just the opposite. Cmon my guy, back tf up. Tipping culture just makes ppl dumb.

Was brought here not knowing what to expect.Beef noodles is the thing here I think.Wasn't disappointed, good portion sizing. Forgot what I ordered but probably what they are know for, beef noodle.Did wish they had a combo bowl so you could try all the different cuts they had. Also had an appetizer, pig ears. Pretty standard.Reminded me a bit like Ox 9 noodle places, just no noodle choices.

Really wanted to swing by due to all the amazing reviews! Heard that rhis place always has long lines but we were seated immediately.There are not many seats inside and we were seated extremely close (basically sitting together almost) with the tables left and right of us.Service was super friendly and we were recommended items as first timers here. We got all the recommended items and they were all so good!

Very affordable, quick service, comforting food.I ordered the beef mifen noodle, brown sugar rice cake, stir-mixed seaweed, tofu skin salad, and pickled cucumber salad.The seaweed, tofu skin, and pickled cucumber were mixed in one plate which surprisingly turned out great. The actual mixture may not look appetizing but the taste met expectations.The beef mifen noodle was fabulous. I really enjoyed the noodles, and you can customize spice level too -- with either the spices available at the table or when asked how spicy you want the broth. I would happily return here.

Tried their beef soup. The soup flavor was very good. I didn't care for the pieces of beef in the soup though. I'd opt for the vegetable soup in the future. Also tried the pork and cabbage dumplings. There didn't seem to be any cabbage in them. They tasted very good in the dipping sauce. Service was as above average. Ambiance was lively. Small dining area. Popular spot.

I was in and out during lunch on a Wednesday. At 1 pm I was able to get a table for one and service was quick! Space is small and reminds me of the noodle shops I grew up eating at with my parents.I just got the signature at a medium level spice and it was so good. Chewy noodles, slightly acidic from the pickled vegg, very spice, and so beefy. Hits the spot on a cold day.I devoured the bowl in ten minutes and was out of there to get back to work.

This is my go to restaurant on Castro St!Between three people, we split a beef offal mifen soup, one pork buns order, and cucumber salad. The soup was filled with great noodles and tender meats. The pork bun was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. This is probably my favorite part of the meal honestly. The cucumber salad had a spicy kick to it accompanied with nuts. I believe all the food came out within 5-7 minutes of ordering. The service is insane.

'Twas a frigid and luminescent Thanksgiving day, with but few pho spots open in South Bay. I hankered for hot noodle fun, and found myself in, of all places, Mifen101.The dumplings were plump,beef noodles, in oodles,the service: polite, fast, and light.As with most Asian spots with authenticity in mind,I didn't mind at all that things weren't so kind.With that being said, and all said and done,I'm glad to have eaten at Mifen101.

This spot is small but efficient, with a quick turnaround. The staff are fast-paced and get the job done. You place your order before being seated, so by the time you sit down, your food arrives quickly.We tried the beef tendon noodle and the beef noodle. The tendon was tender, and the beef was flavorful. We also ordered the beef pancake--my fiancé enjoyed it, though I found it a bit too salty, but that's a matter of personal preference.Overall, it's a great place to grab a quick, authentic Chinese meal. Highly recommend it if you're in the mood for something tasty and traditional!
