I googled most of the restaurants in Chinatown and it looked like my high school GPA (not even a 4.0) so this place coming directly from the mouth of my pharmacist. Great broth, meat quality is superb, noodles were okay. Chili oil 8/10. Small bistro style, so prepare to share a table.

Fast casual spot, I ordered then found a spot to sit and they brought out my food to me. No wait on a weekday lunch. The duck wrap was good but it wasn't a must get. The chicken laksa was soooo good.

I seemed about right when I glanced at the portion -- for just under £12, this better be *really* good. But, as I said above, looks can be deceiving. This meal was more filling and satisfying than most I've had thus far in London. The Gyudon (beef over rice) was delicious and came with a bowl of soup on the side. I ended up pouring the soup over the beef and rice, which was a great move. Highly recommend. It's worth noting that the ginger on top is incredibly flavorful and felt a bit overpowering, but added a sourness the dish was lacking. Koya Ko is a great place to try while you're people-watching and enjoying the market hall. Cheers!

Great authentic spot for Xi'an style noodles! I ordered the biangbiang noodles with beef, which was…read moreone of their dry noodle dishes. I'm pretty sure their noodles were hand pulled, as they were very chewy (in a good way). The beef was also pretty good. There was some bok choy in there as well. Although I really enjoyed this dish, it wasn't exceptional enough to get to a full 5 star level. The restaurant gets very popular / busy during peak hours, but we were still able to get a table for dinner with no wait on a weekend night. There is a lively atmosphere and it was comfortable seating. Our waiter was friendly and the service speed was fast. Overall, I would highly recommend Xi'an BiangBiang Noodles if you are interested in some tasty authentic noodles.

I don't think I'll be back, and I wouldn't recommend this unless you were extremely uncultured and didn't know what real Asian food was like. Non-Asian folks may love this place - so take other reviews with a grain of salt (I personally am shocked at how highly rated this place is). The missus rates it lower than me (3/5 from me), so I give this place her rating cuz we were both... very sad about this. Missus and I showed up at 4pm on a Saturday in May. It was hella busy when we arrived, but quickly emptied out after we started getting our food. This place claims its Thai but they only have the spice part down... I doubt this is actually authentic. Maybe it's Southeast Asian inspired?? If anyone else knows please comment. The portion sizes are predictably small, and I don't think we ordered enough for two to be full, even though it was quite pricey (given the portion size). We ordered the rump cap, curry, clay pot, and a lager to drink. Nothing was that memorable - the rump cap was well made but the curry definitely made us question the cultural authenticity of this place. I wouldn't order the curries here - the meat dishes seem decent though. The ambiance in here is definitely loud, since sound carries - any conversation gets amplified and you can hear every word - even the annoying laughs or coughs are at volume 11 (so try to keep your voices down!). There's a background music track but it's faint and you can only barely hear it when anyone is talking. The restaurant layout is very good for communal dining, but really bad for intimate settings. If I were a dating man (I'm not), I wouldn't bring a date here. The service is also extremely slow - from when we ordered to when we got all of our food was roughly 45 min - which, given how hungry we were, and how empty the place was - inexcusable and really disappointing. Note: mandatory 12.5% service charge on top of your meal.

Don't miss the sharing beef platter. Served the four of us and had so many good apps to try. The duck pho had a phenomenal broth. Rich without being too dark, it was just the right mix of flavors.

There were three in our group which was suggested one starter and one main per person. I had the Gozen bento which was sashimi of high grade along with salad, sticky rice and miso soup for £20. It was divine. I also sampled some of my partner's tempura bento. Prepared well it was crispy and fresh. The third in our party had sashimi which was super fresh and delicious. We shared pork gyoza and agedashi tofu. Amazing. Everyone left happy with quality and price. They have a stellar drink menu from beer to shochu, sake and cocktails. Everything was on point. The dessert menu was tempting but everyone was too full to order. I will definitely be back for an enjoyable date night or even to entertain colleagues. A great place without breaking the bank.

However, I need to warn my fellow Yelpers to stay away from Oliveto if you value Good Pizza! I mean, how hard is it to have good pizza!?! It is a simple staple which I have enjoyed in the US, in China and yes even in Italy. At it's most basic, it should be dough, sauce (doesn't have to be tomato necessarily), mozzarella and maybe some toppings, right? Here is where Oliveto went wrong for my mother and me: 1) they use cheap cheddar cheese - not mozzarella! 2) not a lot of sauce, maybe just enough to color it 3) the dough was soggy and didn't rise (I actually like thin crust, but this was inferior doug and 4) topping that were not as advertised, i.e. prosciutto should not look like and taste like store-bought sliced ham! Service was okay - the men like to talk about customers in their native tongue, thinking that patrons don't know what they are saying about them. We were so glad that we split a pie - most tables got a pie per person. Neither of us could finish this "pizza" honestly. Perhaps the only redeeming thing are the prices - this might be the cheapest choice in an otherwise expensive neighborhood.
