Xi'an DaGe 陝A大哥

Love this place. Authentic food prepared right in front of you. Lovely service. Delicious food that leaves you feeling happy and healthy. And really good value to boot!

Had the Pork Noodle Combo B, and the experience was great from the beginning. The staff was helpful in choosing the right dish, and the food arrived extremely fast, it was hot and tasted very fresh. The noodles were also flavourful and packed with meat, spices and an assortment of vegetables. The portion size was also very generous. The 1/2 pork burger was also very tasty. I would gladly return again and I highly recommend trying the food out.

This is the best noodle place around. The brisket noodles are my favourite - so delicious, meaty, with a fabulous rich sauce. The best time to come is between 2pm through to closing time! Such a good place. Order the biang biang noodles, always, and salad!!!!!

No-frills noodle bar for Xi'an food - Biang Biang noodles and Roujiamo especially, with some obligatory HK-style roast meat on offer too. No buttoned up restaurant formality here, the service is casual and the kitchen is open-plan. Pictured is bowl B on the menu - hand-pulled, wide noodles coated in fragrant oil underneath multiple toppings (not vegetarian, though, lots of cubed and minced meat). As for spice - I'm sure they saw my pale complexion and brought the heat down - but ask them to add more if you'd like. There's also an option without the oil, as well. The roujiamo was good, too, but essentially just slow-cooked pork in a handmade chewy bun, no frills. For £6.80 each it's a hard sell as it's not so big - but if you're homesick or want to try something new, go for it. The only real problem I have is that it's just a little too expensive to be a student lunch break (between £15 and £20 for a bowl, side and drink) and just a little too much food for one person as well - the bowl is huge, and could feed two easily. Great if you're coming here for dinner, but I'm sure the hordes of university students outside (UCL, SOAS and Birkbeck are right there) would love something delicious, nutritious, and competitive with other local options, which amount to a few pricey food stalls and sad English sandwiches from Uni cafés. So maybe add a cheaper 'small' option - otherwise, full marks.

A nice find! I got the brisket and intestine option - substantial amount of meat and adequate noodles. Duck rice was decent.

Amazing homemade food. A hidden gem! I will highly recommend it. We ordered two noodle combo: a dish of noodles, half pork burger and a drink. Very good value and amazing taste. Very big portions as well

This noodle restaurant is absolutely delicious. The noodles are fresh and perfectly chewy, the broth is rich and flavorful, and the toppings are generous. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Chinese noodles. We finished them all！

I ordered the dry mixed noodles, and they are perfectly hand-pulled. The portions were too generous for girls, and the ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality. We tried a few sides, and every dish felt homemade in the best possible. The staff was friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations and checking in. I'll definitely be coming back.
