The 25 Best Restaurants In London
"Wherever your loyalties lie football-wise, a meal at Xi’an Impression is essential. The tiny Xi’anese spot is directly opposite Arsenal’s stadium and while this may (correctly) encourage some and (incorrectly) put off others, one bite of their bouncy hand-pulled biang biang noodles is likely to convince anyone otherwise. The functional, box-sized, BYOB space is both a neighbourhood favourite and a destination, and it’s no wonder given the quality of its food. A bowl of biang biang is the classic, while the liangi cold noodles (or rather, room temperature) are arguably the star of the show. But delve deeper into the menu and you’ll find that Xi'an Impression’s standards are consistently high. The sweet and sour chicken is some of the best around." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
