“This place has great Sichuan food! It has so many varieties of food to try and are all very good! We got the chongqing cold noodles that were very flavorful and numby! The favorite was the mapotofu that had very soft silky tofu with minced pork and a sauce you can smother rice with. We also got the local flavor lamb that had tons of veggies along with the soft tender lamb meat. The sweet and sour pork was crispy and delicious and the sliced potatoes with vinegar was very refreshing and had a nice soft crunch to it.
The staff were very nice and attentive and the place is very very popular and busy. The atmosphere is just like any mom n pop Chinese restaurant.
I've been here in the past and have enjoyed other dishes like the twice cooked pork, various dumplings, wonton in chili oil, dan dan noodles, cumin lamb/mutton & sliced beef & ox offal! The portions are always huge and sharable and great value!“

“Walked in craving something with real heat and got exactly that. The roasted fish came out deeply savory, then the numb spice kept building in a steady way. I also tried the beef soup, gentle at first, then it lingered. Cozy, satisfying meal.“

“We waited around 30 minutes for a table on a Sunday around 7pm. I would say overall that this food tasted very authentic and reminded me of what I had in China. However, it didn't suit my Americanized taste buds.
The pickled fish fillet dish had a strong white pepper flavor and the fish had skin on it. I prefer boneless skinless fillets, and while this fish was pretty tender, it wasn't amongst the varieties of fish fillet that I prefer. My husband really really loved the soup in this dish. I liked that you could choose two add-ons -- we got the bean curd which really absorbed the soup well, and the vermicelli noodles, which I prefer a bit thicker in this type of soup.
We also got the sizzling shrimp with vermicelli. I liked the garlic flavor and the shrimp was mostly tender. The noodles were a bit soft and oily, but otherwise this was my favorite dish.
The truffle fried rice was pretty good but oily. I liked the stir fried greens with garlic.
Overall I felt that the food was a bit heavy and the fish fillet was not quite my style. But again, it really reminded me of the food I had in China, so it seems very authentic!“

“This place serves Sichuan style Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended. They operate more on food to go but has a small space for 14 diners. Paying in cash expedites service by a lot.
I ordered their Kung Pao Chicken and Fish in Black Bean Sauce. It was served fresh and hot, with steamed rice. Kung Pao Chicken was meaty and really has a good balance of flavors and spiciness. The Fish in Black Bean Sauce was soft, flaky, saucy and not too salty to taste.
Food was served at almost in an instant, around 5 mins from ordering. The serving is very generous, good for 2-3 people for 1 order (see photo), depending on your appetite. For the food price ranged around $10+, it is a steal. Customer service is nice and the lady is very quick on her feet.
Plenty of parking outside. No restrooms though. Come here with an empty stomach and bladder.
I would return here next time to try their Hot Pot, Spicy Chicken Nuggets and Mapo Tofu. 🌶🍛“

“The front desk experience has been consistently frustrating.
The young lady there appears inattentive and unsure of the process. Even after joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, we're left standing without explanation for 5-10 minutes each visit until another staff member takes over and seats us.
The lack of coordination at the entrance gives the impression that no one is actually managing the line properly.
Fortunately, the rest of the staff are warm and professional, and the hot pot options are solid.“

“I’m dinning in with a group of friends and we are making a lot of special requests but the host is very patient and is taking very good care of us. We finish all the food and order more to go. The spicy bowl is amazing! And we finished the spicy bowl and order another one to go!!! Loving this place and would come back again!“

“I came here for a meal and was really impressed! I ordered the Beef Fried Rice and the Hunan-Style Fried Pork Slices, and both dishes tasted very authentic. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and just what I was hoping for. The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a good Chinese meal. I’d definitely come back again !“

“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.“

“The food is very authentic. My favorite is the century egg dish! All other dishes are delicious, though I wish they could be 20% less salty.
The manager lady showed lots of hospitality. We went with my 10-month old, and her son was there doing homework. He came over and lent us a toy to play while we eat.
Keep it up. Definitely coming back a lot!“

“I moved to other state 2 years ago and this restaurant is one of restaurants I really miss in LA. Every time I come back to LA I must have a dinner here. This restaurant never let me down. It is one of the most authentic Chongqing Hot Pot restaurants. The taste is great and the food material is fresh and quality. They are very generous to provide complimentary high quality snacks. They treat the customers thoughtfully and it is why they exist so long a time.“

“Years ago my mom randomly came to this store after a gig in the area, and she was shocked by how good it was.
We happened to be in the area again, and my mom INSISTED on coming here. We ordered number 1 and some cucumbers. Clean, rich flavors. We got mild, and while there’s a kick it isn’t overwhelming. Numbing spice though!
Cucumbers were fresh, salty and rich on the outside and crisp.
Unassuming interior, delicious meal.“

“This little mom-and-pop noodle shop was such a great find! We stumbled in right around 8:30 PM, just before they closed, and ended up being the last ones there.
Their noodles were honestly delicious. I mean, my nephew, who is notoriously picky, even complimented the shrimp noodle! The dandan noodles were a touch too salty for my personal taste, but everyone else absolutely loved them.
Even though it was late, the service was great. We never felt rushed. I'm definitely going to be coming back whenever a noodle craving hits!“

“I was in town visiting a number of friends nearby. One of them mentioned this place.
I could tell that I was a bit of a fish out of water here, but having grown up in Japan I was used to that. There were a number of menu items I never even saw before such as one with an unfortunate name. Which really turned out to be an excellent salad that had some heat but was actually enjoyably mild.
I was kind of surprised by the Xiao long Bao because they had done something a bit differently than the other places around here.
That's not a bad thing btw, it turned out to be most excellent and went well with the Salad we shall not name.
The staff was also rather nice too. Though the Server was concerned for me being able to handle the food. He outright suggested I wouldn't like the Salad, but I decided that I should at least give it a shot. I expect he thought some girl who looked like she stumbled in from Nowhere Ohio wasn't ready for proper Sichuan food.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere there. But I feel I may have underdressed. Next time I go back I'll try something even more interesting. And I'll wear a fine dress.“

“As a Chengdu native who has tried countless Sichuan restaurants searching for a taste of home in the past years. This place is the real deal and the chef is 200% a Sichuan chef.
It’s hard to put into words how special it was to finally taste dishes that are 100% authentic to my hometown. Every single classic dish we ordered hit the mark. If you’re looking for genuine, high-quality Sichuan cuisine, I can’t recommend this place enough!“
