I took refuge inside of Murger Han on an unexpectedly rainy and cool summer day. I ordered a clay pot noodle soup and left very satisfied and warm. This soup could more accurately be called treasure soup with its lamb meatballs, quail eggs, noodles, cabbage, cubed tofu, strips of tofu, all in a savory tomato broth. Next time I might try a Murger which looked intriguing! read more

Murger Han - BiangBiang Noodle&Vegs, Pork Meatball,Quail Egg Tomato Soup 番茄砂锅面 - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

Went to Murger Han yesterday with a group of 8 where I ordered the 5-in-1 biangbiang noodles with pork and lamb. The group also ordered a lot of the tofu skewers. Having had Biangbiang noodles elsewhere (west coast), unfortunately I think the flavors at Murger Han are lacking. The noodles, too, lack a certain springiness that I've come to associate with biangbiang noodles. Also, something to note is that the tofu skewers are actually tofu skin skewers--this was something that caught our group by surprise and would be good to take note of. read more

Murger Han - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

My toddler and I needed some dinner and he had been asking for Asian noodles all week. We had already been to the delicious Lanzhou Lamian Noodle Bar twice in the week already, and while great, I wanted to try something different. I found this restaurant that was highly reviewed and super close to our hotel. Perfect! I decided to order takeout and bring it back to the hotel for ease (with a toddler). The restaurant was packed! Good thing we were ordering to go. It was also impossible to get a stroller into the tight doorway. The menu is a little confusing. I read the great reviews about the Biangbiang noodles, so I knew I wanted to order that. However, there were a lot of options that were kind of confusing. Even after asking the waitress, I still wasn't sure what I was ordering. It was weird. I couldn't figure out if the options were related to what type of sauce the noodles were in or if they were toppings. For example, you get the noodles: - SPRING ONION & CHILLI OIL (V) - TOMATO & EGG SAUCE (V) - SPICY BRAISED PORK, TOMATO, EGG SAUCE & CHILLY OIL £2.00 - SLOW COOK BEEF, TOMATO, EGG SAUCE & CHILLI OIL £3.00 - SLOW COOK LAMB, TOMATO, EGG SAUCE & CHILLI OIL £3.00 I tried to ask the waitress what was popular or the best way to order to the dish, but she kept deflecting and said it's whatever you like. I like everything though. This was not helpful since I didn't understand what the optional extras related to. This dish was good, but I probably wouldn't order it again. But also, I think I may not ordered what everyone else gets. I got it with spring onion and chili oil, but I think this was a mistake. I think the tomato and egg sauce is essential. The dish didn't mix that well. In the half block I walked back to the hotel, the noodles went a bit hard, so I think they needed more sauce. I also saw they had a cold noodle on the menu, so I asked if it was Liang Pi and the waitress, said yes! I rarely see that dish on menus, so I was really excited to order it! It was good, but she asked if I wanted to add sesame sauce. It was extra, so I declined, but I think that's an essential part of the dish. I'm not sure why it was extra. It would have been better with it. This dish was good, but it wasn't anywhere as good as Xi'an Famous Noodles in NYC. This was missing the fun texture of the spongy seitan. Still, I rarely see this dish, so this was a must-order for me, and I'd return for this dish alone. Also, with a name like Murger in the name of the restaurant, I thought I better order one. I got the Roast Duck Murger which was good, but not memorable. I'm not that into these sandwiches. I've ordered them before at Xi'an Famous Food, but they're kind of dry. The food took a really long time to come out which was unfortunate because there was nowhere to wait, so my toddler and I were outside in the cold waiting for a very long time for our food. He was getting crabby. I wish they would have given a heads up how long it would have been, or I could have left and came back when it was ready. Anyway, this restaurant is good, but I had higher hopes for it. The Liang Pi noodles were worth it for me though. Plus, I feel like this restaurant is better to sit in for. However, all the food was well prepared for takeaway! I think they do a lot of online orders, so everything was packaged well. I just think some of the dishes like the biangbiang noodles would be better in house. read more

I saw Murger Han on tiktok recently, and since I love biangbiang noodles, I definitely had to try it -- and it was so worth it! I absolutely loved the way Murger Han makes their noodles! The noodles themselves are very wide and thick, which makes for a marvelously bouncy and chewy bite. Paired with a numbing chili oil, eating this in London's St Dunstan in the East Church Garden (we took it to go!) was just an experience on its own! The vegetables were also a perfect complement to the numbing spice of the chili oil. I actually went to a different Murger Han location not on yelp, but this one was right next to Sky Garden! I would highly recommend trying the Biangbiang noodles, especially after checking out London's beautiful skyline at the Sky Garden! read more

Great food, nice folks, a little disorganized during our visit but it all worked out and we ate well!

Come for the murger but stay for the noodles. We enjoyed dining at this intimate restaurant with many types of noodle dishes to choose from! We tried their standard murger and it was very disappointing. Dry pork in a bland bun. Even chilli oil could not save it. They really need to add seasoning when making the pulled pork. Two noodle dishes were the saving grace. Biang biang were giant, thick cut noodles that require vampire fangs to bite into. A light savoury sauce accompanied it. My favourite was the spinach noodles with spicy beef and a ton of veggies. It was prepared with a tomato based sauce with scrambled egg. Full of flavour! We asked for both noodle dishes to be spicy and they were average. They can definitely bring more heat but the flavour shined. We would love to come back and try more noodle dishes but seriously skip the murger until they can perfect it. read more

Very good restaurant food-wise but with weak service. I shared a Murger burger with lean pork and another with spicy beef, peppers and cumin, and they were both good. The beef one in particular was really well seasoned. I also had some Ox tripe skewers that I likes since I am a fan of tripe. As main dish I had some LaTiaoZi noodles with the house special dry beef tomato and egg sauce with chili oil and they were really good. They had a lot of toppings for the proportion of noodles and it was overall a well seasoned and tasty dish. Prices are fair considering the central location but service is quite lacking. Food doesn't really come together but a bit randomly and staff is not particularly welcoming. It is unfortunate because it would have been 5 stars otherwise. read more

Looking for a lunch location after wandering through Fortnum & Mason, I found this place on Google. My friend and I walked over and it was fantastic! The menu is long and confusing but we settled on munger with roasted duck as well as munger with lean pork and shared them. Both were very tasty and I liked the duck best. It came with what seemed like slaw. I then ordered Biangbiang noodles mild with lamb, tomato, egg and chili. Excellent. The portions are large. I probably could have split the biangbiang noodles with another person...or taken the leftovers had I not been in a hotel and lots more restaurants to explore in London! read more

I went here for a lovely food. This was an interesting food that I have never tried before. This is place to go for another type of chinese food. A recommended place to try in london and there are 3 branches so you can go to whichever you like. I will go back again to try its other food and keep coming back since it is very good! Go try it!! read more

Murger Han on Sackville is the second restaurant following the success of its first one. I saw this place from my friends' posts in Chinese social media and wanted to give it a try while I was in London. The entire restaurant was decorated well, with many traditional Chinese elements including tables, chairs, wall paintings, and utensils. I ordered the "Triple-Qin" combo, with 1 pork Chinese burger (Rou Jia Mo), 1 cold skin noodle and 1 Xi'an local soda. While the soda drink was definitely a rare find outside that specific province in China, I was not very impressed by the burger and the noodle. For the burger, the buns were very authentic, soft and thin. In comparison, the ground pork was disappointing in terms of both portion and taste. Therefore should be more meat and it should taste more salty, with more juice as well. The lack of flavor has made this burger not tasty and very dry. The same problem happened to the noodle - very light sesame sauce without much flavor in it. This restaurant being at the central part of West End, the fact that they don't accept signature credit cards was just annoying. I had to use my debit card to pay the bill with an incredibly high international transaction fees. There are many other items on the menu which I look forward to trying out. I will pay a visit next time I am in London, and of course with some cash. read more

Murger Han - San Qin Combo - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

Went for lunch with a friend and left very satisfied from our delicious noodles! I had the biang biang noodle with pork, eggs, tomato, and spicy sauce. The dish was very flavourful but without being overly spicy or heavy. We also had the tofu skewers for starter which were good. Their overall menu is adequately diverse but clearly specialised in noodles, with ample vegetarian options as well. Service was good. We had a manager-looking gentleman looking after us who was prompt and kind in everything. Some of the staff didn't seem to speak great English, but we got by okay. Ambience was cosy but chic -- I liked their touch of oriental with hip. Downstairs had a cute little bar as well which looked neat. A well-rounded winner, especially for their spot-on Sichuan noodles. read more

The biang biang noodles are so good. I couldn't finish it so I ate the rest as a snack and it was still so tasty. I got little bit of spicy and it was not spicy at all. I got the slowed cooked beef and I wished it was served in a bigger portion. Good thing I made reservations because it was busy around 1300. read more

Delicious noodles!! Cute authentic Chinese restaurant. I loved the beef noodle soup. My friend got the biangbiang noodles with less spice but it turned out to still be really spicy so be careful with that! read more

Xi'an food is not that popular in London so really nice to find an authentic one that serves Rougamo. There was a long queue even during weekday lunch, and they obviously fell short of waiters. We asked for the menu and literally waited for more than 7 mins before we got it. Service was friendly tho and the Chinese guy defo tried his best to be responsive to everyone. Menu was really varied and food served quick. The Biang Biang Noodle was bloody good and my fav one. Stir fried murger soup was also good, better than the lamb murger soup which was too light and not tasty at all. Also, I'm disappointed at Rougamo (murger). The stuffed meat should be saltier and juicier, but the Han's were just too dry. Cold rice noodles were bland as well, but the sesame sauce made it not that insipid. Don't recommend the so-called special drink from Xi'an--Ice Peak, I really couldn't tell the difference between it and Fanta both in flavor and ingredients... read more

Murger Han - Biang Biang noodles - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

Some of the food here were pretty decent but the service was so poor. My friend and I stumbled upon this restaurant on a Saturday night. The restaurant was full but there was a group of four were leaving as we arrived. After about 10 minutes, the table was set up and we were signalled to sit down. As we got to the table, another waiter came over and told us we couldn't sit here because it was a four person table. We were confused because there was no one else waiting for a table but we didn't sit down. Our waiter quickly came back and spoke to the other waiter. I couldn't hear what was said but the other waiter did not persist afterwards. It was an awkward situation. My friend got the biang biang noodles with all three toppings (tomato & eggs, braised pork, and chili oil). The noodles are handmade and served as one long continuous piece. It tasted alright. I felt the noodles were too thick and the toppings were a concoction of flavors that seemed out of place, especially the potatoes. I recommend just picking one or two toppings for the biang biang noodles. I got the set menu which consists of cold noodles (added peanut sauce), a pork murger and a drink. The cold noodles were pretty good. I liked the peanut sauce with the sesame and chili oil. The noodles aren't mushy and the cucumbers were refreshing! The murger was a disappointment however. It's pretty much a plain shredded pork sandwich with no toppings or sauce. The pork was really dry and bland. I expected the murger to be the signature dish since this is what the restaurant is named after, but it was pretty disappointing. I recommend just getting cold noodles without everything else in the set meal, even the drink. The drink that comes with the meal is Ice Peak and can't be substituted for anything else. This didn't really make sense to us since there were a ton of other drinks on the menu that were cheaper than the Ice Peak itself, such as tea or soy milk but the waiter seemed really inflexible with this. What was most disappointing was the service at the restaurant. The girl who took our order was really moody and almost inaudible. At times when people wanted service, I noticed she was always on her phone. My food was also served 10 minutes after my friend's. The service was pretty slow as I saw my food was left on the counter for a while before they brought it to my table. Overall, some selective items were pretty decent but sadly, my friend and I didn't have an enjoyable experience so we won't be coming back. read more

Food was just okay but please NOTE this place is almost CASH ONLY. Without signs or warnings, after finishing food I was told ANY cards that could pay without PINS or require SIGNATURES are NOT ACCEPTED, Chinese credit cards are not accepted and American express is not accepted. I have both US(chase) and China credit cards but they did't work. Don't know for tax/transaction fee avioding, discriminating or any other reasons. FOOLISH & REDICULOUS. 國人： 食物一般，只收現金 read more

Went on a whim around 7pm without a reservation and waited an hour at the underground bar before being seated. Got complimentary drinks but definitely lesson learnt. Food was authentic, which could be on the oily side. The biang biang noodles are to die for. The murger buns had great fillings, but the buns themselves were not the freshest. read more

Great place! For better context, I'm a New Yorker and have plenty similar restaurants to compare. The beef noddle soup and Murger pork (plain) bun are delicious and very authentic. read more

Out of this world and a totally unexpected find. This place blows Xian Famous Foods out of the water. The menu is super varied and offers some of the classics (outside of lamb offal soup). Serving sizes are much more generous than its American counterpart, though a bit pricier for sure. I'd recommend coming here in a big group and ordering family style. read more

Great authentic chine food. I went there with some friends and we really enjoyed the food. It felt like being in China and this is definitely the first time I felt Chinese food in London was like the real thing read more

The first thing you MUST have is the " 米皮 " cold rice noodles (it's extra good served with spice added into the sauce). Your tastebuds will wonder how you haven't had anything so amazing in your whole life. My NYC / now London friend, said these noodles are the only ones she's ever had that taste just like the ones from the small city in China where her family is from. She said there is a place in NYC too, that's 90% as good but Murger Han is the best. I've taken friend since who have become hooked. The waiter there said the noodles/sauce is vegetarian too, which is hard to imagine - but maybe? ... The rest of the menu is very good but the cold rice noodles is what you have to try first. Side note: one time when I went without my Chinese friend and with a white friend (I'm white too) - they didn't serve the noodles with as much spice added into the sauce (I think they left it on the side and we added the chill-like sauce in after). When you order, tell them you want them to mix the sauce the way most Chinese eat it. It's really not super hot or spicy the authentic way, I think they were just being cautious. Seems like not many Londoners use Yelp (I'm from Los Angeles) but I'm curious to know who else has become addicted to these noodles. read more
