"The soothing sound of biang biang noodles being methodically slapped on a table is the kind of pre-musical prep we encourage. Xi’an Biang Biang Noodles in Covent Garden is a casual, Muji-esque space with excellent hand-pulled Chinese noodles. It’s a useful, good-value spot with quick service that makes it a go-to for a pre-theatre meal with someone who loves to anxiously clock-watch." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
