Xi'an Impression - Carta

Best noodles I’ve had in London. Go to delivery place for Asian food. The pulled noodles are sensational!

Never had better noodles than here, sooo delicious! Excellent dish made of a very few ingredients, quick service, will definitely come back again.

I’m gluten free and this restaurant literally went above and beyond to cater for my needs. I’m so thankful and can’t wait to return. Thank you for having me! Ver carta

The most authentic Shaanxi cuisine in London the hand pulled, soft, and pearly Biangbiang noodles are sublime a simply unmissable destination if you’re a lover of Chinese food and want to explore the flavours of Xi’an.

Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! I’m vegan and I had the hand pulled noodles in chili oil, stir fried greens, black fungus and shredded potatoes in vinegar. It was extremely delicious and as if that wasn’t enough, the waitress was super nice and helpful. I really can’t eat spicy food, but even dishes with two chili signs on the menu were fine for me. What a perfect dinner!

Small “street food” eatery in front of the Arsenal stadium. Just follow where the two guns are pointing! Delicious and authentic spicy Chinese food. Fast service and fast turnover of tables. (40 covers? I had to wait in the queue on weeknight at 7.30 for about 15 minutes. The cold chicken in chilli oil starter was try to its Chinese name: “mouth watering chicken”. The famous biang biang noodles are messy to eat (one long sheet! but worth the mess. (Bring a bin. . Plus pot of tea made the bill £28. Ver carta

Long anticipated visit to London's worst kept secret, Xi'an Impression gives London some of central China's best regional cuisine with a small but tight menu leading with hand pulled ribbons of serious noodleness and fierce flavour. As it was my first visit, I went for the big hitters, smacked cucumber , pork dumplings with special Xi'an sauce and the infamous spicy pork BiangBiang noodles. The only fault I could find with this restaurant was its proximity to the Arsenal stadium but beggars can't be choosers when the food is this good.

It's one of the most authentic Xian noodles in London. I have been coming to this place for six years and the quality remains consistent. I love the basic pulled noodles with beef or with only veggies. The one with veggies looks a bit sad, because they only put a few Bak Choy leaves. However the main star here is the noodles and the chilly oil. As it is drenched in chilly oil, I would agree this is not the healthiest food, but definitely a comfort food for me. The Dine-in experience was not exceptional. Basic settings and often long queues. Totally recommended to reserve for dine in or just get it delivered as they do delivery via different apps.

After living in Xi 'an for a while, I now miss the combination of flavours that differs from many other Chinese cuisines. Middle eastern scents of herbs and spices with the use of lamb likely an influence from the western/northern ethnic minorities of China who have ancestors spanning Mongolia and the Middle East. The Altaic fusion with more traditional Chinese hand pulled/cut noodles in clear(ish) broth, xi 'an sandwich etc bring me back to my home away from home. Although in Xi 'an you can expect the sandwich to be a lot more oily from the street vendors as well as more generously packed with fillings. Even the smell of the place when you walk in reminds me of xi 'an, it 's only missing th... Ver carta
