Hunan Mifen 小香牛骨米粉

This is becoming one of our go-to places for a quick and yummy meal for noodles. We have been here several times - during weekend lunchtime they are pretty busy and usually have a waitlist, but it moves fairly fast. Dishes we’ve tried: Stinky tofu - yummier than I expected. The sauce really elevates the dish and the tofu were fried well House special noodle soup (招牌特色牛肉粉）- really can’t go wrong with this one. It’s a good level of spicy and the broth is very flavorful. They serve the spicy part separate so you can decide how much of it to add Braised beef and tomato （番茄牛腩粉）- an excellent alternative if you don’t like spicy. The beef is very tender, soup is really tasty Gluttonous rice cake (糍粑)- fried well, generous portion, a little too sweet with the syrup Rose ice jelly with rice cake (冰粉） - this one is not as good as some of the jelly I’ve had elsewhere. IMO not enough toppings and the syrup isn’t the right proportion of brown sugar and water

Authentic Hunan place according to a local friend. There are quite a few non-spicy options too. For instance I recommend the 三鮮肉絲米粉. The broth is flavorful. Can see that they spent time on it. 紅糖糍粑 would be a great finish for the meal. Side dishes are decent too but not as outstanding as the rice noodle dishes. Our waitress is attentive and friendly. The place plays Taiwanese pop music is another thing that I personally like.

Good enough Hunan rice noodle / mifen place - 3.5 out of 5. Not the most authentic Hunan style but I was pleasantly surprised they had this particular pickle vegetable - xuelihong 雪里蕻 which is usually hard to find. But I found the beef way too oily. Portions were also pretty small for the side dishes.

The food/soup is delicious and when it says spicy, better believe that!! I ordered Combo D which is beef bone rice noodles + your choice of appetizer and/or green bean soup or poached veggies. I got the fried pork dumplings and green bean soup as my sides. The green bean soup comes out first because it’s served cold and I was glad it was because when I got done with my soup and drinking the broth, I needed something cold and sweet. The green bean soup is slightly sweet. I had no idea but it is a dessert soup. The beef bone soup comes out with the soup/noodles in the large bowl and meat w/spicy sauce ima separate bowl. I’m not sure if I did it right but I poured the whole bowl of meat and sauce into my noodles and it became like hot lava! I love spicy and this had me sweating and coughing. Loved every bit but please be mindful of your heat tolerance. The pork dumplings are served piping hot and freshly made! Crispy bottoms and soft tops! I would take a bite of the dumpling and then soak it in the soup broth to soak up the flavor and bam, soup dumpling! Definitely give this place a try! Located adjacent to Lion Supermarket. If you blink, you’ll miss it and you don’t wanna miss it!

Small appetizers and noodle soup are just ok. We ordered this stinky tofu, just out of curiosity. It's not just stinky, the taste is so offensive. There are stinky foods that when you eat, it is actually good, like kimchi ,fermented fish, etc, but not this stinky tofu. It smells and tastes like it was fermented inside pork intestine for years. Be cautious before ordering it. On a fairer side, service is good and fast. My 3-star review is not based on our stinky tofu experience. It's the overall dining experience, food, atmosphere, service and price

The noodle comes without spiciness. All the flavor and spice come from the separate bowl so that you can “adjust” your tolerance on spiciness. Unless you are sure, you should put the spice to the noodle one spoonful at at time. I put half bowl and it is already at my limit! Flavor is good and the bai ye tofu is very tasty and is a must have. Service is prompt and nice, too.

If super hot and spicy noodle is your thing, then you need to come here. But since they put the protein and the sauce on the side, you could put in as little sauce as you want. Just start with a little bit and add more if you can stand it. If you dump the whole thing into the noodle you may regret it.

Very good rice noodles！A large portion of food, I have a light taste and my mom prefers more flavor， I ordered the mushrooms and she got the tomato beef, we both are very satisfied the noodles. Staffs are very friendly, they call us immediately when they found my mom left her hat in the restaurant. Very good service!
