Mein Restaurant is the brainchild of Mike Tran of Tiger Den fame and is located in the neighborhood of Chinatown in Houston. This noodle-themed restaurant with a single-minded focus on authentic Cantonese food beautifully captures the spirit of the Asian noodle, which is house-made and is available in a variety of broths and toppings, ranging from minced pork, pork offals, and shrimp to egg, liver, and several others. The interiors are decorated in a Chinese Art Deco style with intimate seating where the warm, earthy tones, combined with contemporary furnishings and tasteful accents, create an inviting ambiance that exudes both elegance and comfort.

The Mala Sichuan Bistro is a quintessential Chinese restaurant serving authentic Szechuan dishes that are sure to delight your taste buds. The menu boasts an array of bold, flavorful dishes, right from the fiery mapo tofu to the aromatic dan dan noodles and the mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn-infused dishes. But while you are here, do try the Red Oil Dumplings and Water spinach, which are quite popular here. Alongside the food, the interior is equally beautiful, adorned with traditional Chinese décor featuring vibrant red accents, intricate lanterns, and hand-painted murals that evoke a sense of cultural richness. So, if you are a lover of Chinese cuisine, Mala Sichuan Bistro is one you will not want to miss.
Mala Sichuan Bistro was started by a husband and wife who wanted to share their passion for authentic Sichuan food with the people of Houston. A unique blend of spicy and savory, there isn't another cuisine quite like it. Aside from the traditional spice you get from the "La" side of the coin, "Ma" is what makes Sichuan special -- a tingling, slightly numbing sensation that perfectly primes the palate for the familiar spice of "La". Many of our menu items incorporate this powerful pairing, and we would love nothing more than to welcome you and introduce you to some of our favorite recipes.
