Miss Shang-San Mateo — Restaurant in San Mateo

Hunan Mifen San Mateo is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves authentic, flavorful noodles. The star of the show here is undoubtedly their rice noodle dishes—perfectly cooked, with a texture that’s both tender and satisfyingly chewy. The broths are rich, aromatic, and packed with bold Hunan spices that deliver just the right amount of heat.

The beef bone noodle soup is a standout, with a deep, comforting flavor that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. The toppings are fresh and generously portioned, adding layers of texture and taste to every bite.

The space itself is clean, cozy, and inviting, and the service is quick and friendly, even during busy hours. If you’re craving noodles that will leave you thinking about your next visit before you even leave, Hunan Mifen is the spot. Highly...

New Hunan mifen restaurant in San Mateo. It is interesting that it opens next to another rice noodle restaurant. Parking is a challenge. It was not busy when we arrived but it was filled up fast. You ordered using your phone by scannjng QR code. We ordered dry and soup based noodles. The order was ready quickly. The beef bone meats are tender but not much meat. The noodle soup is clear and not spicy. You just add the soup from the bone if you want spicy. You can enjoy it non spicy or spicy. You get the coriander leaf in front of the open kitchen. The dry noodle is spicy. It doesn't have much meat. Both are yummy, but they are filling. Overall, it is yummy, but I think the beef rip soup has very strong spices, and I got a bit uncomfortable after that...

OMG OMG OMG WHY DOESNT THIS PLACE HAVE MORE REVIEWS?!!!!I am extremely picky when it comes to soups of any kind but this place blew me away!! We got the spicy bone broth beef soup! It was sooo good like out of this world amazing! The beef pieces were bone licking good and im not usually a beef gal. They add some pickled mustard greens which is soo yummyy adds a bit of a tang! Also Its actually pretty spicy i had asked for extra spice they gave me chili oil and pickled chilis on the side which i accidentally added without tasting the soup first and it made it crazy spicy so im assuming the soup is already really spicy! Will drf be coming here for my noodle soup fix...
