Hung's Restaurant

About Hung's Restaurant in Chinatown

Hung's Restaurant is a Cantonese restaurant and takeaway at 27 Wardour Street, in Soho's Chinatown. It is the kind of place a visitor goes for Cantonese roast meats served quickly and without fuss, with the roast duck and barbecued pork on display in the window. People come to Hung's Restaurant Chinatown for a plate of rice topped with roast meat, a bowl of noodle soup, or a takeaway box to carry through Soho.

The dining room is compact and informal, with shared tables and a counter where the roasts hang in plain view. The cooking is the draw rather than the setting. Dishes seen on recent menus include roast duck on rice, barbecued pork, ho fun (flat rice noodles with beef), and beef brisket and tripe in soup.

Cantonese Roast Duck and Barbecued Meats

The roast counter is the centre of the kitchen. Cantonese roast duck is the dish most often ordered, carved over rice or noodles, alongside crisp-skinned barbecued pork and other roasted cuts. The duck is served on the bone, in the traditional Cantonese style, so diners chew around small bones rather than receiving boneless slices. Single plates of rice with one or two roast meats make this a practical stop for a fast, inexpensive meal on Wardour Street.

Beyond the roasts, the menu runs to familiar Cantonese cafe dishes: noodle soups, fried rice and ho fun, and braised beef. Portions are generous and prices sit at the lower end for the area, which is part of why Hung's has kept a steady following among people who work in and around Soho as well as visitors passing through Chinatown.

Opening Hours and Visiting

Hung's keeps long hours, which sets it apart from many of its neighbours. It opens Monday to Saturday from 10:00 until 03:30, and on Sunday from 12:00 until 03:30, making it one of the later options for a hot meal in the area once other kitchens have closed. Both sit-in dining and takeaway are available, and the restaurant takes orders by phone on 020 7287 6578.

The address is 27 Wardour Street, London W1D 6PR, a short walk from Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus Underground stations and inside the pedestrianised core of Chinatown. For a no-frills plate of Cantonese roasts in Soho, whether early in the day or late at night, Hung's is a dependable choice on Wardour Street.
