A hidden gem for noodle lovers

This restaurant is a true hidden gem for those who appreciate food made with care and tradition. From the moment you walk in, you feel the warm and cozy atmosphere. The place is small, but it doesn’t need to be any bigger — it’s the perfect size to offer attentive service and a calm, relaxed dining experience.

What really stands out is the quality of the handmade noodles: the texture is perfect, with just the right balance of chewiness and thickness. We tried both the noodles in broth and the dry noodles with chili — and both were outstanding. The broth was full of flavor, with a beautifully balanced richness, and the beef was tender and well-cooked.

The dry chili noodles had a delicious spicy kick, complemented by fresh vegetables like broccoli, which added both color and freshness. Everything was served with care and in generous portions.

The staff was excellent — friendly, attentive, and always ready to explain the dishes or offer recommendations. It’s always a pleasure when the service matches the quality of the food.

As for value for money, it’s simply unbeatable. Great food at a fair price — something that’s getting harder to find these days.

Definitely a place we’ll be...

We tried several dishes: • Biang Biang noodles: perfectly cooked and slightly spicy, but I didn’t enjoy the sauce. • Tallarines con ternera: much tastier and better balanced. • Ternera especiada y marinada: very disappointing — nothing like the picture, smaller portion, cold, fatty, and full of cartilage.

The place is loud, the service was just okay, but the prices are not too high, especially considering the excellent location near Sagrada Família and the...

Biangbiang noodles are the best noodles in the world, because they're wide, thick, and chewy. They're not pressed through a machine like udon and pasta, and are stretched and ripped by hand.

From Xi'an, in central China, the name biangbiang is thought to be the onomatopoeia of the sound of the noodles being slapped as they're stretched.

This restaurant has 3 of the most important Xi'an typical dishes: biangbiang noodles, Chinese burgers aka roujiamo, liangpi cold noodles.

Get them in that order. If you can only have one dish, get the biangbiang noodles. 2 people should be able to try all 3 dishes.

Ask for their hot Chinese green tea (not...
