About Murger Han

On Sackville St, Murger Han serves handmade noodle dishes, soups, and clay pots in a Chinese noodle restaurant setting. The bone marrow noodles come with the bone still in the bowl, and the kitchen also turns out beef murger and a toasted pork murger with crispy bread and braised pork filling. Other named dishes include pan-fried dumplings, chicken gyozas, lamb paomo, and cold sesame noodles finished with chilli oil and black vinegar. Noodles are hand-pulled fresh on site, and refills are free. Dogs are welcome in the dining room. Ordering runs through a QR code scanned at the table, with payment completed online, and no service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary

Bone marrow noodles draw the most praise, described as rich and savory with chewy handmade noodles, though one reviewer found the large bones awkward to eat around and felt the oil and spices drowned out the dish's flavor. Close behind, the lamb paomo and Xi'an-style dishes come up repeatedly, along with the Toasted Pork Murger, called crispy outside with tender braised pork, and the cold sesame noodles. Dumplings and gyozas also get singled out as fresh and generous. Several mention free noodle refills and no service charge as standout touches, and portions are repeatedly called generous and filling. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive, with one diner noting flavors feel somewhat westernized rather than strictly authentic while still tasty. One reviewer needed the ordering done via QR code and online payment rather than a server taking the order directly.

    “The bone marrow noodles were good overall as the noodles themselves had a great texture and nice taste. Also the greens blew me away as it was my first time eating such (I don’t know what they were called unfortunately) and really packed a strong and delicious flavour. That said, I had a huge gripe with the way the dish is served. The bones sit in the bowl that allow the noodles, veg sauce etc to all get stuck underneath the bones. This is because the length of the bones are greater than the diameter of the bowl at the bowls lowest bit less than the diameter at its highest, so the bones sit like a bridge halfway down the bowl. I also just found it inconvenient to have these very large bones in my bowl. Perhaps this is a cultural thing that I am being ignorant too, but I would have enjoyed the meal much more had the bone marrow just been scraped out of the bones and put into my noodles prior to serving. Additionally, I found that the oil/sauce/spices drowned out a lot of the flavour of the dish as it was all I could taste for most of my meal, so I would prefer less of it. The prices are great for the quantity and how filling the food is (coming from someone with a very large appetite) The interior was nice and wasn’t too cramped. It wasn’t too loud or quiet to have a conversation in normal speaking effort, although it was on the louder side The service is done by scanning a QR code and paying online via a website.”

    “I’ve been a loyal customer of Murger Han for many years, dating all the way back to when they first opened their City branch. Over the years, I’ve visited countless times, and one thing that has remained consistent is the authenticity of their food. The lamb paomo is easily one of my favourite dishes here. The flavour is rich, comforting, and reminds me of the traditional taste you would find in Xi’an. I would also highly recommend the liangpi, which is fresh, refreshing, and packed with flavour. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. It’s clear that they take pride in maintaining the quality of their food and service. As someone who has been dining here since the early days, I can confidently say that Murger Han is one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants I’ve visited in the UK. If you’re looking to try genuine Xi’an-style cuisine, this is definitely a place worth visiting.”

    “Overall a great place to eat, and for the central Piccadilly location, it offers great value. We dropped in to try their famous recommended dishes. The food standard is average to good for Asian food the flavors feel a bit westernized to suit the local palate rather than being strictly authentic, but everything was still very tasty and well-prepared. ​Seating & Atmosphere: The seating here is great. The restaurant layout is comfortable, making it a nice, relaxed environment to sit down and enjoy a meal right in the middle of a busy area. ​Service: Service is really good and attentive. The staff were welcoming, prompt, and made sure we were well looked after throughout the meal. ​Food & Beverage: While the flavors are adapted a bit for the local crowd, the execution is solid. Alongside the mains, the drinks are also very nice and complement the food well. ​It's a very reliable spot if you're in the area and looking for a satisfying meal with a great value-to-location equation.”
