Mian Noodles And Dumplings

I have come here at least twice with my sister for lunch :) ! And it has definitely exceeded our expectations :D ! We usually order the braised beef noodle soup and the chive dumplings :) ! The beef broth is very flavorful and tasty, and is totally perfect for a cold winter day :) ! We just wish that this restaurant would serve hot tea. It's kind of unusual that, for a Chinese restaurant, they only have iced teas, cold drinks and water. But overall, we love the comfortable ambiance, which makes for great conversation :) ! I would think this place gets very packed and busy on weekends. So it might be best to come in on weekdays when it might be less crowded, and you can be seated right away. There is generally plenty of parking since this restaurant is located in an outdoor mall with plenty of parking spaces. The customer service is excellent and we have always felt very well taken care of :) ! We will definitely come back :D !

SOOO surprised to find a good asian restaurant here. I'm so incredibly impressed. Dumplings were actually so fire... I almost didn't get them but so incredibly glad that I did. Noodles were good and so was the soup. The lamb one was a little too smelly for me but the broth was super flavorful. Spicy beef was solid not the best I've ever had. Overall Mian: 5/5 Lanzhou noodles and braised beef noodles, along with the steamed pork dumplings. Both noodles dishes were delicious with tender beef and flavorful broth, which paired well with the chili oil on the table. The dumplings were nice and juicy, the order was just a bit too big for us to finish as a side dish. Service was also good!

Came here at 3:30!in the afternoon. My noodles were fresh and delicious! The onion pancakes were SO GOOD! Very authentic. This is my second time here. Will defiantly be back!

This has become a frequent stop for me and my friends. The dumplings are beyond reproach! The portions are plentiful and the flavors are amazing. We have been here 4 times and I'd say my favorite was the stewed lamb with bun. Seasoned perfectly, loaded with diced lamb, tofu, and a bun to sop up what is left (if any). The lamb and carrot dumplings are a delight especially when you add the pepper sauce they have on the table. I've been here with friends several times and everyone walks away full and satisfied. Great staff with smiling faces ; kind , courteous and knowledgeable! Support your local small businesses. These people work hard and put out a marvelous meal at a fair price. I'd say one of San Antonio's best restaurants!!! Just a great place to have a meal and relax.

Comfort noodle soup was my jam for my Bday meal! : DHad to return as noodle soup and dumplings were calling my name. We were easily seated at a large table of 5 at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. We tried a few different items on this visit:Pork burger- delicious! A thin sesame seed bun stuffed with shredded seasoned pork. My fave!Pork dumplings boiled- really really good! Esp with a chili paste. They need more of a sambal, than the chili oil provided at the table. You get more bang for your buck if you order them boiled too. Pork bao- came as order of 2 Nice soft bread, but the pork was more of a small meatball stuffed inside. Not my fave. It would have been nice to see more of the bao stuffed with a lot filling instead of a ball.Original beef noodle soup- nicely seasoned light broth with plenty of veggies and meat. Others ordered the beef short rib soup and spicy lamb. The spicy lamb is personally my fave. With the beef short rib, be aware that you'll be eating meat off the bones in your soup.Overall great food. Service was busy when we left, we did have to flag our server down.

I see why this place is always so packed. WOW!!! We started with the sesame pancake with beef. Holy smokes this was amazing.!We both ordered soups. The braised beef noodles, with thin noodles . And the stewed lamb with wide noodles.The meat was so tender. The broth was comforting. Hugs you just right. I can't wait to go back.

Great noodles and dumplings. We came for the chicken noodke soup and tried the pork soup too. Both were amazing. The poached chicken did have a bit of a dry texture somehow but the broth was filled with wonderful flavor. The hand pulled thick noodles gave a slight chew that is unique to hand made noodles. The pork and chive dumplings were so good. The dumplings sauce on the table is a little bit more vinegry than I am used to but still good. Service here was prompt and good. There is a cool window into the kitchen so you can see the food being prepared. Overall a great experience and #1 place to come for noodles and soup.

Mian is a great classic Chinese noodle restaurant that is reminiscent of noodles and dumplings one would have at home during childhood.We've gone twice already and each time we were not disappointed. So far, we have tried the Lanzhou noodles, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and the Stewed Lamb noodles, all with wide noodles. The Stewed lamb is definitely spicy with that kick of numbing Sichuan spice. It's not too spicy and I did take a few spoonfuls of this broth to add to the non spicy bowls to add some spice. I do wish the noodles were thicker and wider.The pork and chive dumplings are delicious, a great size and a great side or addition to any noodle dish. We've gotten them steamed in restaurant once and then have gotten a frozen batch to go every time. They are just as good at home, boiled for 8 minutes, I just wish I had some fresh noodles to go with them, ha!We also got the fried Pork and Scallion bun. I thought it would be similar to a Xang Jeen Bao but it is not as crispy on the bottom and not as doughy but it is still delicious. Mian is an awesome noodle joint, sure to satisfy your classic Chinese noodle cravings. I will continue to return!

This place is such a gem! Very authentic to northern Chinese cuisine, boasting handmade noodles and dumplings that are so yummy. We loved the pork and scallion dumplings, and for such a steal for 15 pieces at $9! These are just as good as my moms dumplings soo a must try in the stone oak area :)

Located on the way to San Antonio, this is a great spot to stop by for lunch. The atmosphere is clean, and the food comes out quickly. As you can see in the photo, the jjajang noodles were loaded with vegetables, but they blended so well with the dish that they didn't feel overwhelming at all--just incredibly delicious!
