"New Chinese restaurant Mian & Bao opened at 4700 West Guadalupe Street, Suite A5 in the Triangle on October 17. The casual restaurant serves up Sichuan and Shanghai cuisines — its name stems from the Romanized Chinese word “mian” for Sichuan wheat noodles and “bao” for Shanghai steamed buns.” From the Sichuan side, dishes include spicy beef noodles; zaijang noodles (wheat noodles with a fried soybean-based sauce), chile noodles, and spicy potato wedges. As for the Shanghai side, there are xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and pan-fried buns. Mian & Bao’s hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday." - Nadia Chaudhury
