Lanzhou Lamian Noodle Bar

The 11 Best-Value Restaurants In Central London - London - The Infatuation

"Lanzhou Lamian is one of those IYKYK spots that, actually, quite a few people know about. The noodle bar is right opposite Covent Garden station, and glows with a window of chow mein, fried rice, and sweet and sour chicken. But look past this tempting array of beige and you’ll find the home to some of London’s best made-to-order noodles. Find a spot in the basic upstairs or downstairs seating area, choose either noodles la mian (hand-pulled) or dao xiao mian (knife-cut), and your topping. The beef brisket is a classic." - jake missing
