Three Uncles to open first restaurant

After three years of trading from two takeaway stands in the capital, Hong Kong-style Siu Mei brand Three Uncles has announced the opening of its first bricks-and-mortar site. 

Three Uncles is set to open in Brixton in early March, taking over a site formerly held by Tiger and Pig at Unit 19 and 20. The 600sq ft venue has space to seat 25 covers indoors and within a sheltered courtyard. The site has been leased from AG Hondo Brixton Village and brokered by Anthony Williams of Four Prop. 

The brand's original menu of house-roasted and chopped-to-order Cantonese meats will be served for both dine in and delivery, with the addition of new eat-in only dishes to encourage guests to visit the restaurant in person. The dining in dishes include siu mei sharing plate Uncle Mo's Three Treasures (Cantonese roast duck, crispy pork belly (siu Yuk) and Char Siu Pork for two to share), classic Hong Kong family-style dishes Typhoon shelter prawns, lotus leaf rice with Chinese sausage, steamed chicken, Shiitake mushroom and chestnuts, and steamed minced pork and preserved vegetables. 

Three Uncles' beverage offer will include milk tea, Hong Kong ice lemon tea and a range of local South London craft beers and wine. 

Restaurant co-founder Mo Kwok says of the opening: "Siu Mei remains one of the most popular types of food for everyday Hong Kongers but in London you can only really find it in restaurants in Chinatown. We've always wanted to make it available to all in local neighbourhoods as you would find across the Far East, so we are excited to see our dreams realised to now have Three Brothers Brixton in South London alongside Liverpool Street in the East and Hawley Wharf Market in the North."
