Liu Xiaomian Carnaby

Absolutely loved this noodle spot in Kingly Court! They have a simple menu full of delicious options and were very accommodating for my friend with allergies. We each had the pork, pork and chickpea, and the cold summer special noodles and were all to die for! The mild is definitely hot enough for the average person and they have chili oil tableside if needed. The staff are friendly and prompt. I’d highly recommend taking a break from your shopping trip here!

Tucked inside a multi storey building, on an upper level, if you are craving for some food to bring your taste buds to life, Liu Xiaomian is a good bet. They have clearly marked Vegetarian and vegan dishes. I had the wholewheat noodles with soy beans and extra morning glory. The heat from the Sichuan peppers was a welcome slap to my taste buds. The noodles were cooked to perfection with a lovely bite to them. Loved this! Good food, good service, reasonably priced, sign me up!

🍜 Spicy Pork Trotter Noodles (New on the Menu!) Once a hidden gem, now finally taking center stage! The pork trotters are braised until tender and flavorful—so soft they jiggle with a poke and fall off the bone with a bite. Packed with collagen goodness! 🍲 Pea & Minced Pork Noodles (A Classic Returns) The signature dish of Liu Xiaomian—creamy peas paired with rich minced pork sauce. Every bite feels like these noodles have soul! Add chili for an extra kick. You’ll want to quietly nod in satisfaction for a full three minutes afterward.

Such a great spot in central London — especially if you work or shop around Oxford/Regent Street! Liu Xiaomian in Kingly Court is my go-to when I’m craving proper Chongqing noodles. They’ve got a solid £18 lunch deal (starter, main, and drink), and it’s honestly great value for the area. I got the signature bowl with peas — super creamy and nostalgic — and the red oil wontons were also amazing. Don’t skip the cold sweet rice balls — perfect way to cool down after the spice! The place gets pretty busy during lunch, so I’d recommend booking ahead. Bonus: their little tote bags are super cute too! Highly recommend bringing a friend or colleague who likes spicy food — it’s a fun way to share a real taste of China 🇨🇳

It was a perfect experience. The environment was great and sitting by the window was very comfortable. All the noodles were delicious. I especially liked the pig's trotter noodles and the wontons. Eating cold noodles in summer is also very refreshing.

sweet potato noodles are so perfect!!! i love the gelatinous and juicy (???) texture .. i heard that the extra hot is just not that hot.. or is at least manageable.. i had the mild and it was great!! would 100% return

Nice food and great value. I’d recommend getting the mild spiciness as it was still quite hot (they have other 2 layers up). We shared a few dishes but my favourites were the cold summer noodles and the ones with minced pork and chickpeas. Service OK-ish as they forgot to ask for dessert and then when they brought it they hadn’t fully cleaned our table. Nothing major of course and still an enjoyable dinner

What an AMAZING find! Having come back from China recently it was fantastic to discover food that has the same standard, taste and quality. Price was very reasonably too! Outstanding restaurant and wishing them all the success
