Mian Pull Noodle

I work very near The Spot, and have been a fan of Mian Pull Noodle since they opened! I didn't know, however, that they offered a tomato soup base for their noodle soups! It's so good - not like what most white people would think of a "tomato soup". The tomato is there, of course, but it's nice and complex, while having a smooth and clean mouth feel. Best had with the hand cut noodles, in my opinion. Service is always great, and I eat there several times a month, honestly!

Update as of January 2021After our initial experience, we decided to give this place another try. They are open and only carry out. They also have delivery service via UberEats / etc. This time, we ordered their assorted beef noodle soup with the wider noodles.Their soups has a decent flavor. Tons of content. Noodles have a decent chew to it. We selected their spicy broth instead of the regular broth. It was pretty decent. Packaging was good compared to other restaurants.Worth giving this place another try if you are in the area.---------------------Located inside the "Spot". It's located nearby Gongcha and that skewer place. Accepts both cash and credit cards. Beware if you come here for food my fellow Yelpers. See below for additional detailsWe came here one afternoon and ordered their lamb burgers. It's basically toasted flatbread between chunks of lamb. The meat is already prepared. All they do is stuff the meat inside the bread and put it inside a press to get it warmed up. The sandwich itself is okay. They also make dumplings and noodle soup which is performed behind the counter and in a kitchen which you can't see. The sandwich is made behind the counter, but you can see the person making the order. We tried the dumplings in the past and they were okay. Comes out hot and steamy. We never tried their soups before as we go elsewhere for that.The reason for the low review is that we are unsure how clean this restaurant is. Sure, it's nice to see a station where you can see the chef hand pull noodles. However, the person at that station was an older man (40-50s). He was standing by the noodle station waiting on customers. We noticed him picking his ears with his BARE hands. He was literally by the counter and picking his ears. Not sure where else those hands been. we were worried that he would prepare our order, luckily he did not. The person who pulled the noodles will use their bare hands. Not sure how sanitary this is. Unfortunately, this chef soon prepared a customers order with their ear picked hands. If you are in the area my fellow Yelpers, I suggest you go elsewhere. This place might not be sanitary especially if you come here with young kids and those will weak immune systems.

One of the restaurant in the Spot (food court) that we have bookmarked to try and it did not disappoint. The wait for Sunday lunch was very minimal. Spent more time looking for parking than the order itself. If no parking is available on the ground floor, we found a garage parking right around the corner. The stir fry was made to order and delicious. Portions were pretty generous. The tofu was a little too runny for me....but was good nonetheless. Enjoy!

Located at The Spot right by Rockville Town Square, so there is free outdoor parking very close by (and a parking garage as well), Mian Pull Noodle is one of my favs. I was suffering from a cold and the Veggie plain noodle bowl (with skinny noodles) in beef broth was just what I needed to help me feel better. I read a few reviews stating that the bowls are not flavorful, but I disagree. I really loved the generous portion of veggies and noodles in my $6.99 bowl.My husband had an order of the chicken and mushroom dumplings. I thought those lacked in flavor, but they were okay and still fun to eat. I liked how tender and chewy they were in texture. I will say it took about 25 minutes for our order to be ready, but watching the noodles being hand-pulled in front of my eyes helped me to understand the detail of work the staff does to prepare each meal.

Mian is one of the vendors at The Spot.The food is not that bad, however there's just a lot left to be desired. The broth (spicy or regular) does not really have much depth to it. It borderlines bland, but it gets the job done if you're looking for something hot that's inexpensive & not pho. The noodles are decent. Not the best I've had, but they have a good chew to them. Portions are bigger than I expected.I've had both the roast duck and chicken pull noodles here. They are solid choices if you don't know what to get if it's your first time. The only thing is, I wish they didn't fry the chicken bits for the soup dishes.

This review is for their hand-pulled noodle soup with duck.+The noodles were pulled nicely and had a good umami flavor to it. It reminded me of Papa John's pizza dough; it's kind of hard to explain.+The broth was hearty and full of flavor.+I enjoyed the vegetables in the soup.-The duck meat was a bit lacking and rough. I had to chew it down a bit.Overall, there's a lot of Chinese restaurants that offer homemade noodle soups in the DMV, so the competition is fierce. However, I would give this place another shot if I were in the Rockville Town Center area.

Mian is a new noodle joint that just opened with the food hall, The Spot. The hand-pulled noodles are freshly made in-house, as you can see when you walk by. They also have thin noodles. I ordered the beef tendon noodle soup (~$10). The noodles were great, but the broth was lacking in flavor. The bowl of noodles is a pretty decent size. There are so many better beef noodle soups in Rockville (A&Js, Bob's Shanghai, etc). The beef tendon was cooked just fine.They offer chili oil and Chinese vinegar.

This spot has a big reputation when it comes to fresh pulled noodles. I don't know any other restaurant that does this in the DMV area. They do it well here! Mian is located inside of the new 99 Ranch Market in VA. They offer a variety of restaurants that include Mian as one of the stars. There is one main guy that pulls the noodles right in front of you so you can see how fresh they are doing it. When there is a rush, he is always on time with the noodles. The noodles are soft, and chewy but still have a bite to it. I tried a couple of there items:*Pork Burger *Assorted beef noodle *Spare rib noodle*Roasted duck noodle *Pan fried pork and chive dumpling Let's start with the burger, it could have been more saucy because it was a little dry. The flavor was there and the bread was good. The potstickers were amazing! I loved the flavor and I will definitely recommend getting them!Now to the main items the noodles! The assorted beef was my favorite. You can choose to get a spicy broth or original (I got original) it wasn't too sweet and you can get all the flavors from the beef. It had tripe, and 2-3 different cuts of beef. It came with onions, bok choy, and radish. Really great for a rainy day! The spare rib came with 3 pieces of pork ribs and the same onions and vegetables. Still flavorful and tasty! The roasted duck was so tender and crispy! I loved the skin of the duck cause it was still crispy and the meat was still tender and not dry at all! They have a variety of menu items that include stir fried noodles also. Check them out and see for yourself!

Fast bowl of hearty noodles and savory broth. What not to lFood:I love the flat, wide noodles!!!There's a few variety of beef with noodle soup but only one option for (roast) duck and (bbq) pork.The broth is savory and I feel the flavor is enhanced when you toss in the chili oil. Ambience:It's part of the spot food hall.Service:Fast hearty food. No complaints.

My favorite hand pulled noodles in the area for sure, tried their spicy bun this time which had great Kim chi! You will not be disappointed.
