I took my family for a late lunch at Silk Noodle. The quality and quantity of the food are fabulous. The staff are friendly and helpful. I didn’t take many photos, but everything we ordered was tasty. And it is a halal restaurant. Highly recommend.

Nice noodles restaurant off Leicester square. We had "handmade noodles in rich beef broth" (regular size noodles) and "oil spill hand-pulled noodles with braised beef ribs". The meat was tender and flavourful and the noodles in both were delicious. The portions are quite big and we had about half of each plates in leftovers (The bowls pictured below are huge. Like dinner plate sized)

Lovely little noodle place, we had a beef broth noodle and oil spill with beef brisket (which was not oily at all). Broth was really flavourful and the noodles were very al dente. Really delicious! Great service and clean place, overall really recommend.

What a gem! It’s so hard to find Northwest Chinese food (we are from the US, it’s so hard to find them)! Let alone a PROPER one. The dishes are well made (and authentic, ofc) - the big plate chicken (“spicy chicken with potatoes” on the menu) was an absolute highlight for us (btw…More reviews
What a gem! It’s so hard to find Northwest Chinese food (we are from the US, it’s so hard to find them)! Let alone a PROPER one. The dishes are well made (and authentic, ofc) - the big plate chicken (“spicy chicken with potatoes” on the menu) was an absolute highlight for us (btw, we ordered the “small” one, and it’s still sizable). We didn’t order the noodle soup (it’s also a staple dish) because we didn’t want to fill up too quickly but we heard the table next to us praising their noodle soup! Feeling FOMO but we were too full in the end. The service is great. Since it’s just open, the manager came to seek for feedback on dishes and made sure we are well taken care of. We wanted hot tea, but since they are still developing their drink offering, they didn’t have any. However, the manager offered some tea from his personal collection - which was so nice and delicious.

Went in with a couple friends to try it out, ordered the oil spill hand pulled noodles with beef brisket. Chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and great value high quality food. Springy noodles and incredibly tender and flavourful beef brisket. Will definitely come again next time I come to London.

They haven’t got a lot of reviews as they’ve just opened! Staff are amazing and so friendly and the food is JUST INCREDIBLE! I’m not from London but I’m already planning a stop here when I next visit. Warm and comforting with lots of choice. It’s also super affordable for central London

We had the oil spill noodles with prawns, and it was delicious. The noodles are handmade and cooked perfectly, and the prawns were fresh and juicy. Very reasonable price and nice portion nice. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Great experience all round! My only complaint is the spicy option was not spicy at all

Customer updates

Food is decent, however, please be aware that they charge a 15% service fee and they don't specify it on the menu. They don't show you the percentage on the bill either. If you don't do the math yourself, you could be easily charged a service fee that is more than the usual, which is 12.5%, without realising it.
