at Mian
"Spicy beef noodle soup at Mian is a bowl that requires physical commitment. The broth is Sichuan-spiced — the heat is structural, not decorative. The wheat noodles are thick enough to hold the broth, the beef is sliced thin against the grain. The dish arrives at the table at a temperature that requires care."

"The Sichuan broth is built from a different spice profile than northern Chinese beef noodle soup — more aggressive, more pepper-forward, with a red oil that floats on the surface. The beef is cooked quickly enough to stay tender, the noodles are cooked to the correct bite. This is a dish that earns its heat."
