  • Master Wei Xi'AnBloomsbury

    “I'm not sure how much of a secret it is any more, but Master Wei. Guirong Wei is a Xi'an noodle specialist who has brought authentic Xi'an food, with its rich 2,000-year history, to the UK. It's the sort of place to fly solo. A laid-back spot where you can slurp away, accompanied by a newspaper or headphones.”
