The Most Classic Restaurants In London

"At Wong Kei, cash will always be king and word salads aren’t welcome. Chinatown’s most beloved Cantonese canteen is one of London’s last surviving restaurant sanctuaries. For the happy, for the sad, for the rich, and for the poor. Everybody here is treated the same way—with a refreshing brusqueness that’s immediately sated with a pot of complimentary tea and a trough of roast duck and rice drenched in barbecue sauce. We’ve been eating here and spending about a tenner since our teens, and we hope that never changes." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
