| - Surprise, surprise! Most authentic spicy sour noodle i have ever had in the States, and it is 10 mins from the Strip in Vegas!
Came in here during a biz trip. Was fed up with all the Vegas froufrou, fine wine and steak (not exactly complaining but i need something refreshing :).Looked up Chinese food around the Strip and found Mian.
$10 Uber ride later, I was here.
Mian, literally means "rice noodle" in Chinese. And that's all you would find on the menu, besides few appetizers.
I was skeptical: coming from NYC, I was pretty confident we got the best Chinese food in the States (on average, this is still true). But the moment I saw that red, hot, big bowl of spicy sour noodle, in my face! My doubt gone out the window :) . It was just like what I remembered back in the street of Chengdu. Thin rice noodle, slightly toothsome, floating in ping ping hot sweet sour soup decorated with green onion, fried eggs, fried soybeans and pickled green beens. Hit the spot!
I was hungry so I also ordered woodears mushrooms, cold chili beef and a beef stew noodle to go. Def overkilled. But hey, we are in Vegas ;P . everything was delicious and traditional Sichuan cooking. The beef stew was seasoned in five spice and cooked prob hours before serving - was savory sweet and melt-in-your-mouth tender!
I also spotted other less know items such as bone broth noodle, which aptly called "milk soup noodle" due to its silky, milky texture and color.
Def will come back next time I am in Vegas and highly recommend!
PS. I could give 5 star but i think the spicy sour noodle could tone down on the salt and up the heat :) But that just me.
