Cantonese restaurant rated ‘best lunch spot in London’, new Ealing branch opening

Traditional Cantonese restaurant Three Uncles in London will open its largest location in September. The new location in Ealing will become the group’s fifth branch in London.

The 50-cover, 1,450-square-foot space will feature an open-plan, glass-fronted dining room with an outdoor terrace. And a new concept will be launched exclusively there, “18-Districts”.

Mo Kwok (Uncle Mo) said, “Our 18-district menu concept is our opportunity to serve a collection of Hong Kong favorites to our customers, from traditional ones such as salted duck eggs to the most modern, such as our oven. Baked Pork Chop on Rice We will be offering these dishes for a limited time and if the concept is well received in Ealing, we will introduce it to our other locations.”

The inaugural menu will include chee cheong fun served with sesame, sweet soy and chilli sauce, prawn toast and curried beef brisket on rice. There will also be oven-baked pork chops on rice, salted duck eggs, mango pudding and fried custard buns.

Three Uncles – which also has restaurants at Brixton Village, Liverpool Street, Camden Lock and St Paul’s – will also add a third beer to its range, unique to the Ealing location. It will join the restaurant’s Triple 8 Lager and Session IPA, all designed to pair with the sweet-salty-spicy flavor profiles of Cantonese cuisine.

Chong Yew (Uncle Lim) said, “We plan to grow slowly and carefully while maintaining quality, aiming to open two to three stores annually, with the ultimate goal of ten locations. We also hope to surpass our record week of 1,100 installments sold in one week across all sites.”

And all the current locations seem to be very popular with customers, including the one in Liverpool Street, which has a four-star rating on TripAdvisor. “I grew up in Hong Kong and this is one of the most authentic Cantonese style steakhouses in the UK.

“I would highly recommend the combination of three meats with rice or two meats with lo mein (mixed noodles). The quality and chewiness of the noodles is very traditional and you always get the fresh, hand-wrapped lamb dumplings – by far the best lunch spot in town,” wrote one reviewer.

Three uncles Ealing will be located at Unit 3A Filmworks Walk, London W5 5FA
