Liu Xiaomian Carnaby

This original Liu Xiaomian is one of Marylebone's best-kept foodie secrets and this is its first bricks-and-mortar location. If you don't like spicy food, forget this one, for whatever you order will come packed with heat, even if you ask for mild. It's run by two girls from Chongqing, an area in southwest China renowned for its spicy food. They serve bowls of steaming hot broth noodles topped with soy sauce, garlic, chilli oil, ginger, Sichuan pepper and their unique, homemade chilli oil for an added kick.
