Updated 3/27/13\nI haven't been back to Miu's for round two- but I was PMed by a fellow Yelper a few days ago, who let me in on a little secret: apparently the food is much, much better when you dine in.  I was also contacted by the owner of Miu's, who was extremely apologetic over our bad experience and let me know that he'd taken concrete steps to sort out at least a few of the problems I mentioned in my original post, re: they have a larger staff and more delivery dudes now.  He also let me know that you can request less oil on the Sichuan portion of the menu.  Perhaps one of these days I'll get a wild hare and decide to try Miu's again.  For now, though, I'm bumping them up a star.  A cult following and kind, polite customer service do not mouth-watering fare make... but they definitely help.  \n\nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n\nSo, I'm wondering if our delivery guy was jumped on the way over and, instead of being mugged, was forced to switch out all of the delicious goodies we ordered for some of the worst Chinese I've ever had.  \n\nOf course, there are some of you who will look at my photo and point out triumphantly, \"Oh, but you're a white girl!  OF COURSE you didn't like *real* Sichuan or Cantonese, your palate is crap!\"  Not true, friends.  I am a former Chicagoan, San Franciscan and New Yorker.  I have prowled the grungy alleys of 'Chinatowns' from, literally, sea to shining sea.  I have more than dabbled in traditional Sichuan, and when I read all of the glowing reviews on Yelp, I was practically panting with excitement as I called up to place a delivery order at Miu's.\n\nLet's get down to brass tacks- I realize the restaurant is in its infancy, and so I'm not going to judge the service too harshly here.  There were a few mishaps as I ordered (not shocking, since I ordered based on other Yelpers' reviews, having been unsuccessful at locating an actual menu), and the food took an hour and forty minutes to show up.  The driver was really nice, though, and they tossed some sort of tripe dish into one of the bags, presumably to make up for the wait.  \n\nHowever... the food.  Sweet fat christ on a bicycle, the FOOD.  WAS AWFUL.  We got the water boiled fish, the eggplant, the green beans, the wontons, and the dan dan noodles.  Not a winner among 'em. Let me preface that statement by telling you that Boyfriend and I are not picky.  We dumpster dive on a regular basis.  That's right, I'm telling you that I routinely eat things out of a garbage can, and that I still think the food at Miu's was terrible.  Now, I appreciate that Sichuan is usually very oily and spicy.  This is why I love it!  But it tasted as if they'd run out of peppers and so instead just dumped a bunch of salt in and crossed their fingers.  Imagine preparing a really lovely meal... and then dumping a quart of Crisco over it.  Bingo.  I really had my hopes up for the green beans in particular, but nope.  Too oily and mushy to even be recognizable as green beans and pork belly.  \n\nThat being said... maybe the staff was just having an off night?  The woman who took my order did say they were very busy, so perhaps our terrible meal was a reflection of a small kitchen and a staff stretched too thin.  I definitely will not be going back, but there are so many glowing reviews here that I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to chance it.  Just don't say I didn't warn you.
