Uncle Wrinkle is a truly special place, run by the same family from Hong Kong since 1995. The restaurant is tiny—only three tables—but even if there’s a queue, it’s worth the wait. I’ve been here a few times, and it never fails to charm: the space is cosy, the staff are friendly, and most importantly, their British-style Hong Kong dishes are delicious. In my opinion, they deserve a solid four stars. Why not five? Well… we ordered the duck in orange sauce on two separate visits, and both times it arrived pretty cold. It could be a wonderful dish if not for this issue. They defrost some of their meats, which is probably why the duck wasn’t hot enough. Other dishes, however, did not disappoint—the crispy lamb in sauce was amazing, and the pork ribs were great as well. Overall, it’s definitely a place you should visit when you’re in the area.

Egg fried rice with braised pork belly was delicious. The fried rice reminded me of the one from dintaifung, with each grain separate and tons of wok hey. Pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and came in a massive portion. After dozens of Chinese takeaways around London, and this is one of the best. A bit pricey for takeaway, but 100% worth it. 11 pounds for egg fried rice with braised pork belly.

I can go on and on but I know everyone just wants the short version: wholesomely delicious, cooked to perfection and made in no time! It's the kind of feeling you are left after visiting your auntie/uncle/grandma who is the biggest foodie you know, but is never overbearing and just wants to make the best possible dish! We ordered and thoroughly recommend: saute pork shoulder with Szechuan pepper, broccoli and mushroom with beef stir fry, sesame prawn toast, pepper and salt squid

Absolutely magical. Beautiful food, made with love and skill by the very sweet and welcoming owners. Cosy seating (only 3 tables so we arrived at opening to guarantee a spot) and very reasonable prices. Everything we ate was delicious. Some of the very best Chinese food I’ve ever had - loved it here.

My sister and I went here for a late dinner and were grateful for delicious fresh food and welcoming service. We had kung po tofu and egg fried rice to share. This was our first time and we look forward to coming back to try other dishes.

Simple Cantonese food at reasonable prices. Not over-seasoned (MSG junkies may be disappointed). Takes cash and cards. The ginger and honey tea was the perfect way to battle a cold. Pleasant, helpful staff.
