| - Have you ever eaten somewhere and it was just so amazing and unique and awesome that you seriously thought about it, daily, until you could go again? That was my experience with Miu's. Literally the first thing that was brought to our table, the Dan Dan Noodle, was one of the BEST things I've ever eaten so it alone made me pretty much a convert. I was never a huge fan of chinese food in general so now I'm 100% positive I'll never have chinese anywhere else again. Because even though I'm not a fan of traditional american chinese food, I am a HUGE FAN of Miu's.
The second time I went with my Mom we had the Dan Dan and the Spicy Cucumbers. FREAKING INCREDIBLE. I don't know where they get their cucumbers. I don't care if it's a hydroponics lab located in that shady backroom they have, KEEP DOING IT. The third time I went I had the Dan Dan Noodles, the Spicy Cucumbers, AND the Garlic Cucumbers, because that is how much I liked the Spicy Cucumbers, I wouldn't risk not getting it even if it meant just substituting another cucumber dish. Luckily, the garlic cucumbers were effing incredible as well (probably grown in the same lab).
For entrees I've had the Spicy Lamb Ribs, Chicken and Jalapeno (these are both similar in preparation and both amazing but VERY spicy. Like a delightful challenge), and the Kung Pao Chicken. The Kung Pao is probably the only thing I wouldn't get again, just because while I'm sure their food quality and preparation standards are much higher than, say, Little Schezwan down the street, I can still get Kung Pao at Little Schezwan. I cannot get spicy lamb ribs that make me want to cry from both heat and sheer pleasure at same time. So I'll stick to the dishes that I don't recognize at Miu's.
I will tell you that despite all my ravings about the food, I was A LITTLE hesitant of the 5th star due to the space. Yes I realize this is a chinese hole in the wall, and trust me I do not normally deduct stars for places due to aesthetics (See: The Great Escape, Haji Baba, Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse) but there are some easily fixable things that can make the place a little more inviting. Honestly this isn't an issue for me so much as I know it is for others (I once stayed at a sushi place despite seeing a cockroach because they gave me free sake bombers), but I swear to god if Miu's shuts down because too many people judge a book by its cover I will probably be depressed for like at least a week, so I hope they do make some improvements in that area. I hate restaurant loss induced depression.
