MIAN Artesia

16 Tongue-Numbing Sichuan Restaurants to Try in Los Angeles - Eater LA

"Miàn, the Chengdu Taste offshoot, specializes in Chongqing-style noodles like zhajiangmian — hand-pulled wheat noodles tossed in fermented bean sauce, ground pork, and vegetables. Other specialities include its Huaxing noodles with fried egg in tomato broth, Chengdu hot-and-sour noodles, and beef pickle noodles in green Sichuan pepper soup. All guests are treated to iced mung bean tea. Miàn’s newest location, in Artesia, is an upscale, more refined version of the other Miàn restaurants. It serves regular menu items in addition to modern spins on traditional Sichuan dishes like Chengdu beef jerky, thousand-year-old egg with torched chile sauce, crispy-skin chicken, and osmanthus rice-wine sesame balls. Unlike its sister locations, this upscale Miàn serves alcohol, including a mung-bean horchata cocktail — a soju-based cocktail that pays homage to the restaurant’s mung bean tea. Look for a fourth location of Miàn in West LA." - Kristie Hang
