    Wontonsin Special Chilli Oil Sauce
    Bruski N.

    I finally got to try Master Wei which was featured on Chef Table. The reality didn't match the high expectations that I had. We ordered lots of different dishes. From their specialty Hand-pulled Noodles to the hard-to-find Cloud Ear Fungus dish, I was left a little disappointed. The hand-made noodles were good and fresh but were served lukewarm or cold with too much chili oil. The portions were very small but pricey. The staff and service were lacking attentiveness. At least I can now checked the box for dining at one of the featured Chef Table restaurants and not buy into the marketing or hypes of these television shows.

    Master Wei was featured in a Netflix master chef series as one of the top noodle chefs in the world. So I was eager to check it out when I was in London. Unfortunately, it was quite a letdown. The pork in the biang biang noodles was hard and dry. The sauce was overly salty and lacked any specific flavors other than the soy sauce. The mince pork noodles were also quite salty. The tofu skin also was void of flavor and dunked in a very thin sauce. The Xi'an hand shredded chicken was the only dish that thought was really ok. Perhaps Londoners have different standards for Chinese food than us in L.A.; but, frankly, any random Xi'an noodle place I've tried in L.A. would be better.

    I watched a Netflix episode featuring noodles and was inspired to try this restaurant. It lived up to the hype. The hand pulled noodles were amazing. I had a beef noodle dish. It didn't look like anything spectacular but once it was all mixed up it was great.

    Tulip

    Easily one of the best dishes I had while in London. The Tulip drink was a refreshing non-alcoholic drink with lychee in it (sometimes we need balance in our lives, can't drink alcohol all the time). But the star of the meal was the Pork BiangBiang. The handmade noodles were perfectly cooked, the chili oil covered everything and had the perfect kick, and the pork was tender and juicy. The particular night that I went was super busy because as it turns out, they were recently featured on Chefs Table! And after trying it, I can see why!

    We came here for lunch on a cold December day. They were busy and sitting the outdoor patio, surprisingly it wasn't too bad eating outside even with our coats on - was very concerned about spilling chilli oil on myself - which I did! Thankfully it washed out! Service was pretty poor. They were more concerned about cleaning tables and sitting people. We ordered beers with our meal and I think they forgot about them, we didn't get them until we got our mains and we asked twice for them, my husband was ready to walk out as we had ordered and got nothing. Our starter came out and then our main two minutes later. They really need to work on all this. Terrible order of service. The food was really good though. We had the salt and pepper pork - delicious. Then we both had different variations of their hand pulled noodles - very difficult to eat with chopsticks on their patio seating but still enjoyable. Patio was tiny though, seats too close together, other groups would have to stand up to let others out while eating - not fun to do.

    43. Chicken Hand-Pulled Noodles in Xinjiang style
    Julia C.

    Lots of outdoor tables available, set up in the very cute alley outside the restaurant. Love the ambiance. Service is fast and they turn over tables quickly. This is a good sign. They are efficient and delicious. If you don't know Chinese, do your research on Yelp ahead of time, because the English translations are not very descriptive and there are pictures, but it's not clear which menu item they correspond to. It's not that the dishes aren't authentic (they very much are), it's just that you won't know what you are ordering if you rely on the English and pictures. We ordered two dishes: 43. Chicken Hand-Pulled Noodles in Xinjiang style - 新疆大盘鸡面 48. Xi'an special lamb hand-pulled fried noodles - 西安特色羊肉炒面 Would highly recommend both of these dishes. They are spicy! And authentic. They accidentally gave us 49. Xi'an special lamb hand-pulled noodles -- 西安特色羊肉拌面 and they did not look nearly as tasty as what we had actually ordered, #48. It was some sauce on top of boiled noodles. Things I'd like to try: 1. Boneless Chicken in Ginger sauce 姜汁豉油 2. Hand-shredded Chicken in Special Spicy sauce 西安手撕鸡 In conclusion, this restaurant is worth an express trip.

    And as an American - I appreciated the ice & Diet Coke!! Thank you!!

    I've been dreaming of coming here to eat since I watched Noodles on Netflix. I fell in love with Wei & her story - her determination as a young girl to provide for her family. We have been in Europe for 2 weeks now and this is the !! to our fantastic food journey (including a Viking River cruise). The food exceeded my expectations!!

    Got food as takeout and it did not disappoint. The sauce comes separate as to ensure freshness of the dish, which I appreciated. Did wait quite a bit for my food. But the restaurant is clearly well-loved. Staff is swift. Cucumber salad was crunchy and the spices were all on point. I'd recommend! They do not take Amex.

    I'm so happy that there's a solid biang biang noodle restaurant here in London! The liang pi was some of the best I ever had. Drinks were yummy too. The biang biang noodles were satisfying, although portions are smaller than we expected. While I do think the quality of the noodles and veggies were great, there's something about the attentiveness to customers they sets it apart from 5 star. We were constantly thirsty because the paomo was saltier than we were used to, but we had to ask for water multiple times. I don't blame them, it's a popular spot and there were MANY tables to deal with. I would suggest a self serve water dispenser or a pitcher for every table.

    Sweet and sour chicken. Steamed rice. Chicken spring rolls.

    Came on a Saturday night and even with the line we only had to wait about 30-45 min. I forget the name of what my friend got but it was amazing. The sauce was perfection. My plate of sweet and sour chicken and rice, were just what'd you'd expect. Good and a classic. Good vibes. Happy with my experience

    This place is delicious. The noodles have a wonderful texture and the cucumbers are to die for. We couldn't eat it fast enough. If you eat outside, you risk breathing in the cigarette smoke of the people next door. Other than that this place is amazing (& busy!).

    Our first meal in London... what a joy to be reunited with genuinely wide, handmade noodles. Reasonably priced, authentic Xi An cuisine. Dined: August 13, 2021

    Pork hand pulled noodles
    Courtney W.

    Amazing find in London near the British museum- authentic Xi An food and executed really well. Pretty busy for weekday lunch but we were seated immediately and service was efficient. Food came out really fast and everything tasted fresh. Xi an liang pi (凉皮) was so refreshing and savory. It had the right amount of spice and tangy bite, a perfect appetizer. The pig ears were crunchy and I liked the addition of cucumbers- a very generous serving. Hand pulled noodles with pork in soup was also great- salty with perfectly cooked noodles. Got some garlicky stir fried veggies as well and they were fresh and crunchy. Entire meal was less than £50, great value in the city. Awesome place for Chinese food!

    Refined Chinese with a twist. Andrew Wong new restaurant is a hit!…read more Good atmosphere, really like the pink darkish lighting of the place. It gives it a groovy vibe. Food wise, I wouldn't it is the best Chinese I have ever been to but it's very good food and worth going if you want upscale Chinese without the crazyness of central London/Chinatown. We shared for starters the spicy sechuan aurbergine (a must order), mushroom buns (as nice as the ones from aWong) deep fried green beans (also a must) and the crispy duck ( Im never a fan but aWong and Kym's probably have the best ones and amazing plum sauce) For mains we tried the three treasure (soya chicken, iberico pork char sui and crispy pork). I think my favourite was the crispy pork. Its a good way of tasting all the rotisserie but if you are super hungry I would recommend ordering 2 of the rotisserie separetely. As for desserts, we tried the Pineapple bun and the cherry ice cream both lovely. Awong is definitly the king of custard. although I think the custard bun from aWong just beat everything lolol.

Victoria set the stage and steered me to a sampling that did not disappoint. Egg roll - not your typical egg roll, enshrined in a crispy rice shell, lightly fried to perfection, accompanied by a tangy sweet dipping delight. Followed by the mushroom steamed buns, and capped off by the most spectacular pork and shrimp boa boa, perfectly spicy, fully satisfying, a work of art. The service was spectacular and matched the experience. Make this a stop on your foodie tour of London.

It is an unassuming little Chinese take away place squashed between a men's barber shop and a second hand watch store and until I stopped in front of it by chance, I thought the barber shop and watch shop were direct neighbours! When I walked in I instantly thought of 2 films: 'Big Trouble in Little China' and 'Blade Runner'. Why? Honestly, I couldn't put my finger on it but I think it was because this is a tiny, teeny, place that looks family run and authentic. Not sure what I'm babbling on about here, I'll just get to the food... They have a lunch menu that is just £6, for which you get a starter and a main course with your choice of boiled or egg fried rice or noodles. The food is cooked freshly in front of you, is quite copious and tastes pretty damn good. I can thoroughly recommend the prawn sesame toast as a starter. Oh, important to mention that they have trouble getting more than 3 customers in the place at a time, be ready for a tight fit while you wait. A good take away lunch spot for those not wanting to settle for a sandwich, crisps and a can of pop - let's face it, that will cost you more than £6 at lunch in this part of town!
