Mian Fan — Restaurant in Yverdon-les-Bains

What an awesome Asian restaurant find in Switzerland! 4 years of living here and scouring the country (and actually the continent) for authentic and unadulterated Asian food, I think we’ve found it here at Mian Fan!

We had the Kun Ming beef noodle soup and the stir fried beef hor fun. Both dishes were packed with flavour - well balanced and tasted very close to what they usually do back in Asia. The beef soup broth in particular was a standout: I could tell that it was probably simmered for hours using fresh ingredients, resulting in a full, but yet still delicate and refined flavour. It was none of the MSG-laden, adulterated for the non-Asians’ tastebuds stuff. And the slices of beef shank were so tender and cooked to such perfection that they melted in my mouth. I’m not exaggerating. Also loved how the lady owner of Mian Fan dialled up the spices in my bowl of noodles, knowing that I appreciate the good kick of heat to take me back closer to flavours I’m familiar with. I couldn’t stop telling her “这碗面好好吃! 😋”

Talking about the lady owner, what an affable and energetic lady she is. It was delightful to meet somebody who is 100% devoted to delivering authentic flavours by not cutting corners and expanding the Europeans’ palate beyond the usual sweet and sour pork/chicken by introducing Asian dishes less commonly found here in Switzerland on her menu. Appreciate her belief in representing Asian food well and bringing more of our flavours to Switzerland.

Can’t wait to go back to try the other dishes at Mian Fan! What a gem of a...

We had a lovely dinner at Mian Fan. Just as the reviews said, the food is of an outstanding quality. Everything is prepared authentic, fresh and with lots of love and passion. I love that there is a good choice of vegetarian dishes. The owner is a real ray of sunshine. She always smiles and laughs and makes you feel so welcome. We had the chance to taste a special arrangement of little homemade pastries for dessert. It was absolutely incredible. I think we might have found our new favourite restaurant here. If you like authentic chinese and japanse style food and want to support 2 women with passion and a vision, you have to try out this...

Quite mediocre. Definitely had much better Asian food.

I had the duck curry for almost 30 Swiss Francs and the portion was quite small. I’m not used to eat large portions but this one was too small even for me.

The Phad Thai was just enough for one child. Definitely not enough for an adult.

I was told that the portions are weighted, so I would suggest to increase the weight of...
