Harden's says

A modern venue near Tower Hill featuring Shangxi-style hand-pulled noodles and dumplings from the people behind cult favourites Xi'an Expression and Master Wei. Its a bigger space with a kitchen to match, so there are new specials including fried bao buns.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Guardian

Grace Dent visited the latest “culinary paean to the capital of Shaanxi province” from chef/owner  Guirong Wei , of Master Wei and Xi’an Impression, this one in a former Gourmet Burger Kitchen in an ultra-touristy location by the Tower of London.


“I have yet to leave any of Wei’s places not delightedly flecked with umami,
sweet, hot and vinegary sauces,” she says – and this was no exception, with at least 12 biang biang noodle dishes on the menu.


“Once eaten, biang biang become a compulsion. You have my warning.”
