London-based traditional Cantonese restaurant Three Uncles is set to open its biggest location this September. The new venue in Ealing will become the group’s fifth branch in London.
The 50-cover, 1,450-square-foot space will feature a fully glass-fronted open-plan dining room with an outdoor terrace. And a new concept will be launched exclusively there, the ’18-Districts’.
Mo Kwok (Uncle Mo) said: “Our 18-Districts menu concept is our opportunity to serve a collection of Hong Kong’s favourite dishes to our customers, from the traditional, such as salted duck eggs, to the more modern, like our oven-baked pork chop on rice. We will offer these dishes for a limited time, and if the concept is well received by Ealing, we will introduce this at our other locations.”

The inaugural menu will include chee cheong fun served with sesame sauce, sweet soy and chilli, prawn toast and curry beef brisket on rice. There’ll also be oven-baked pork chop on rice, salted duck eggs, mango pudding, and deep-fried custard buns.
Three Uncles -which also has restaurants at Brixton Village, Liverpool Street, Camden Lock and St Paul’s – will add as well a third beer to its range, unique to the Ealing location. It’ll join the restaurant’s Triple 8 Lager and Session IPA, all designed to pair with the sweet-savoury-spicy flavour profiles of Cantonese dishes.
Chong Yew (Uncle Lim) stated: “We plan to grow slowly and carefully while maintaining quality with the aim of opening two to three shops annually with an ultimate goal of ten sites. We also hope to beat our record week of 1,100 ducks sold in one week across all sites.”
And all the current venues seem to be well popular with customers, including the Liverpool Street one which has a four-star rating on TripAdvisor. “I grew up in Hong Kong and this is one of the most authentic Cantonese style roasts in the UK.
“I would highly recommend the three meat combo with rice or two meat with lo mein (mixed noodles). Quality and chew of the noodles are very traditional and always get the fresh hand wrapped lamb dumplings – it’s by far the best lunch spot in the city,” wrote a reviewer.
Three Uncles Ealing will be located at Unit 3A Filmworks Walk, London W5 5FA
