Mian Schenectady Reviews
Food was really good. One waiter who was meeting everyone's needs at each table by himself. The setting was really nice and the food tasted great! Would definitely come back again!
Some of the best Chinese food in the area . Way better than your local neighborhood takeout Chinese spots.
First of all, the waitress I had was awesome. She could see I was up in the air about being a single diner and taking up room in a small area. She came right up to me (without me saying anything) and told me "just sit right over there honey". Melted my heart and read my mind. The spring rolls are amazing and the dumplings are even better. 100 percent coming back on a tegular basis.

Overall the food is outstanding and the service is great. We had the HK crispy noodles, spring rolls, sweet walnut shrimps, and beef tender soup. Restaurant is small, they do mainly take out. Quality is high, taste is superb, definitely would go back. They should expand the seating, needs an update.
Got the orange sesame chicken - it was fresh, hot and tasted great. It was busy when we got there and the wait staff were hustling to accommodate everyone - great job! Would eat here again.
Our server Deaja was amazing and made our visit to this restaurant very enjoyable and comfortable. The food was 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and thanks to our server's recommendation I tried the street noodles and they were so good!
The pork fried rice with duck sauce is delicious. Good portions too.
Erin was awesome. The food was fantastic.

Great Wonton Soup and amazing Shrimp Fried Rice (lots of 🍤) excellent meal!!
Got the General Tso's chicken. It was very good and a sizable portion at that. Seating is limited but our server, Rozena was very good. I would come back for sure.

Ordered the General chicken. The chicken was the nastiest meat I've ever tasted, chewy and fat all through it. I wish I had known it wasn't white meat in the dish. It was something you would get at a takeout restaurant. Sat there and waited for the waitress to take out order while she stood there talking to someone waiting on their takeout order. Flies all over the table.
We have been going here for years and all of a sudden our shrimp fried rice was piece's of shrimp. I had noticed they keep getting smaller but not they cut them in half. If we didn't do take out I would not have accepted it. What's next canned shrimp. Common go back to a decent shrimp. I see they only respond to good reviews. Oh well construct of criticism can only help.
We first ate here 9 months ago, and decided to try it again last night. This time we experienced a dirty table, fruit flies and lukewarm food that wasn't very good. Since this establishment is inside the spotless casino, it was surprisingly bad. We weren't very impressed.

Terrible service here , no tables to sit at so we could only order take out. Then waited 40 minutes and there was 8 tables open we sat down cause we wanted to eat and we were told that we were NOT allowed to eat there cause we ordered out. Only reasons we ordered out was because there were no tables at that time and I gave her a $10 tip . This place will never see another dime from me again . Very rude staff, can’t get the orders right rude staff long wait time. Spent $70 on my wife and I and I couldn’t even enjoy my cold messed up food order at a table . I definitely do not recommend coming here, unless you want you blood pressure to go up. Food is terrible pepper steak has 3 inches of grease filled in it barf !!!🤮 Dirty place !!!! Flys bugs. Even inside there duck sauce packets

Not even sure of where to start..ok..the fruit flies.. all over the place...the tea that wouldn't steep..the firecracker shrimp dipping sauce that was curdling in the cup..or the pepper steak that was so thickly cut it was impossible to chew. The rice was inedible..and to see the shrimp on the final bill..unbelievable .if 0 was a score..it would be all..very disappointed
Got the family food and we all were sick the next day. Had to be the chicken everyone complained about a "funky" taste and couldn't even eat the meals. That's the only thing we all ate together. $72 was not worth any of that.
The MIAN is a restaurant in the landing hotel that served my family an absolute horrible not even a edible dish. It’s supposed lettuce warp but all they have was a bowl of meat and a big piece of lettuce that they claim they have washed but it’s all yellowish, old AND EVEN HAS A BUG. The meat is SO SALTY. It’s supposed to be “Thai meat” but it’s literally GROUND MEAT. WDYM MEAN ITS FREAKING $15???? AND IT took AN HOUR to be served for it to look like this. I RATHER EAT JUNK FOOD FROM THE GAS STATION! NEVER AGAIN. DONT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT UNLESS YOU WANT FOOD POISONING! I don’t know how it’s not shut down by the health department and they called themselves a restaurant????????
The worst wait staff and customer service I have ever experienced. Sat at our table for 15 minutes and were never even given menus tonight. Have been given the wrong orders previously. I will say this experience guaranteed I will not return.
Terrible service and food. Also the "sweet and sour" cucumbers are actually pickles with siracha. Would not recommend.
