The Concept
Frank Yeung and Abhinav Malde, the duo behind Mr Bao and Daddy Bao, present Won Ton Charlie's under the railway arches of London Fields. This intimate, 18-cover restaurant pays homage to the unpretentious yet deeply satisfying noodle soup of Hong Kong. Their singular focus on wonton soup allows for an exploration of flavour and technique that is both minimalist and profound.
What to Expect
A vibrant lunch scene unfolds with diners seated at a counter encircling the animated kitchen. Steam rises, voices mingle. Choose between pork, prawn, or fish skin wontons, either a delicate broth or paired with noodles. The sour plum tea adds a tart counterpoint, while fish balls and crispy fish skins provide textural intrigue. Each bowl is a study in precision, a testament to the power of simplicity.
The Verdict
Won Ton Charlie's transforms simplicity into an art. Arrive early to secure a seat, and pair your wonton soup with the sour plum tea for the full experience. Embrace the elegance of restraint.
