The second site from one of London's best-loved Chinese restaurants, Xi'an Biang Biang offers the same hand-pulled noodles as the original, restaurant Xi'an Impression, but with more space and a more central location. A short walk from Aldgate East, this canteen-style eatery offers a selection of authentic Chinese dishes, from juicy dumplings to soups and their speciality noodles. 

Serving up a mix of thin and belt noodles, you can find all manner of additions here, from cumin lamb and chunky pork belly, to sausage, traditional pig intestine and the delicious Xi'an special sauce. The starters too offer a melting pot of options as seaweed salads and smacked cucumber jostle for menu space alongside jellyfish and Sichuan beef.
