"Chef Tony Xu’s Mian is built around a menu of zhajiangmian-style noodles, found in the Chinese city of Chongqing (a municipality located 167 miles from Chengdu, the source for Xu’s earlier success, Chengdu Taste). Bold flavors and spice highlight the menu that includes black fungus, steamed egg, minced pork, and beef in chili sauce. Special gizzard, beef pickled noodles, spare ribs, and piquant intestine are some of the favorites, while add-ons include fried eggs, beef, intestine, ba-wan bean, and spare ribs." - Janna Karel
