Xi'an Impression in Islington

phenomenal food!!! If you want to drink beer or wine just go to the mini markey nearby and buy some. Thats what we did. Everything at this place was amazing. Everyone had a good time. Thier are no reservations so it's a first come first serve very small and intimate establishment. The service is fairly quick and great. The egg and tomato soup was delectable.

I ordered the vegetarian hand cut noodles. Well seasoned and tasty. Perfect portion size.

Best xi’an food in London and we tried a few to compare. The biangbiang noodles have great texture, delicious sauce and softest beef meat. Would really recommend the boneless chicken! We come here few times a month because it’s just so good. Fast service, too.

Delicious, no nonsense central Chinese street food located just across from the Emirates Stadium. The house specialty noodles were fresh and full of texture. That and the chicken were doused in chilli oil which gives a gentle kick well into the meal. The salt and pepper squid were of a good size. The beef noodles were done perfectly, with generous amounts of de-rooted bean sprouts. The staff was reticent but the food came very quickly despite a large number of take-out orders.

The most scrumptious hand-pulled noodle place around. Their noodles are soft yet chewy. All of their menus are very tasty. Not a good place for gathering as the restaurant is rather small. A place to grab a quick but heavy meal.

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.

Definitely the most authentic Chinese you will get in whole London!The dumplings are amazing, I believe they do they own dough in house, same for the vegan noodles in chilli sauce- they are tick and a meter long. The sauce is incredibly tasty and they come with steamed bok choi.The sweet and sour chicken is incredible as well, the sauce is tick and the chicken crispy, very generous on the portion.The cucumber salad is probably the only way I want to eat cucumber from now on- incredible!The restaurant is just in front of the Arsenal stadium and probably have 20 covers top inside but totally worth it!!It’s a 5 stars from me 🙌🏼 ⭐️

I'm so happy to live nearby this place. One of my favourite Chinese restaurants without a doubt! Noodles are exactly as the ones I've tried in China and loved so much. My favourite dish is the veggie noodle tomato soup.. I just can't get enough. Also the classic Biang Biang noodles with chilli sauce are divine! It's a lovely cozy place and the service is super fast. Staying in or takeaway.

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.

Incredible. Authentic. delicious. A small restaurant that packs a punch - not to be missed if you love Asian food and in the area, would highly recommend
