  “Second time visiting, and once again, it didn't disappoint! This hidden gem is tucked away beneath the Jackalope pub. Seating is limited during peak hours, but it's absolutely worth the wait. We visited for lunch and were seated straight away. We ordered the Xiaomian vegan noodles with chickpeas and the Spicy Beef noodles. This was my second time ordering the vegan option, and just like the first visit, I finished wishing I'd ordered another bowl to take away! The broth is rich and full of depth, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the fresh vegetables add both texture and flavour, with just the right amount of crunch. I opted for the mild spice level, which gave the dish a gentle warmth without overpowering the other flavours. The aroma from the Spicy Beef bowl was incredible. The fragrant spices hit you before the dish even reaches the table, and it looked every bit as delicious as it smelled. If you're looking for authentic, comforting noodle dishes, this tucked-away noodle bar is an absolute must-visit. I'll definitely be back for a third visit!”

  “Tasty and affordable noodles. Book ahead, it’s busy! And be aware the tables turn over fast-don’t be late or plan to linger. Minimal service-you order at the hatch-but everyone was friendly :) Grab a drink in the pub upstairs and hang out there afterwards.”

  “I’ve been to Liu Xiaomian inside the jackalope a few times during the course of the year. In 2025 the flavors were much better sadly, much more hearty and savory. Additionally, I was saddened to find a hair in my partners fried egg :( Overall, gets the job done - still good, but not as good. (& the hair part takes a star off)”

  “This is a firm favourite now — it’s very lowkey but I also love that vibe especially for Chinese/Asian food. It really reminded me of being in Hong Kong a bit and felt quite authentic. And the food is amazing. I got the pork mince hot and sour glass noodles and my partner got the spicy beef wheat noodles. Standouts: glass noodles are unreal, I could eat them all day every day, the hot and sour soup is just what I had been craving and was so well balanced, and the spicy beef was sooo tender it melted in your mouth. I really wish I’d ordered more but now I guess I just have to visit again. Such a last minute discovery but I’ve been craving the food for days afterwards. Also, you can choose spice level/to have the spice on the side which is nice. Very cool, love it! Highly recommend.”

  “I think great spot for post work noodles. It’s in a pub off a side street in marlybone and I do really like a pub with a fun food option. They have a whole section to eat underneath but I think if you can get a table in the pub upstairs I think it’s nicer. We got vegan potato starch noodles and wontons in soup. Noodles are good , they do the job . You can choose spice level and imo They are not as spicy as people say they are so go for quite spicy otherwise you might find them a bit boring. I got a cheap Czech beer and it was a perfect Tuesday night. Oh it is kinda busy tho , may struggle to get a table so get there before post work rush.”

  “Had the extra hot pork and chickpea noodles. Really tasty, the broth was perfect, noodles had the right amount of bite to them. Spice levels were good for me, I love spicy food, if you’re used to numbing chilli then you should be fine with the higher heat levels 🔥”

  “LIU Xiaomian under The Jackalope is one of my favorite noodle spots in London. Hidden downstairs a kind of cheap food but addictive. Get the Chongqing spicy noodles with minced. Chewy noodles, proper chili heat, real numbing, big portions for the price. Wontons and glass noodles are good too. Service is basic you take and sit expect a queue so do reservations beforehand”

  “! Sadly I got food poisoning here so sad because it was very delicious 🤧 Please pay attention ! Previous rating: 4/5 Cute restaurant 🥰 Pay attention: This restaurant is located downstairs inside a pub! Don’t get confused🫶🏼 You get your table and order at the counter! There you also pick up your order again. You can choose from 5 different spice levels: not at all - very spicy 🌶️ I loved my noodles 🍜 ate them all in one go! Loved the authenticity! However the space downstairs still feels a little bit empty and awkward. I loved it anyway and will come back for more! 😋”

  “No frills, delicious food in the pub. The food really hit the spot but the service is non existent. You've got to get your own food which I'm ok with, but the service is a bit poor as you have to wait to be seated, but unfortunately the staff just walk by without a care in the world. Good thing the food saves them as it is really good. Spicy with all the right flavours. Worth a visit.”
