"Mian & Bao is a smaller outpost of Los Angeles' legendary Chengdu Taste. While this restaurant in The Triangle doesn't have as extensive of a menu as its California counterpart, what it lacks in size it makes up for in spice and punch. Dumplings and noodles are the centerpieces here—and they’re evenly matched—but don’t let that push you away from bowls of steamed eggs with ground pork, savory beef pancake rolls, or a dozen other small plates you’ll want to try." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
