Harden's says
Bun House changed to Wun's on 24 July 2019, and is now a "1960s-style Hong Kong tea room and late night bar", set across two floors in Soho, mimicing the communal, open-air cafes and restaurants in Hong Kong known as ‘dai pai dong’.
Harden's survey result
Summary
A “very good” modern take on classic Cantonese cuisine from Z He and Alex Peffly (of Bun House) is presented in an atmospheric “neon-lit underground parlour in Soho, with the menus on newspapers, giving a gentlemen’s club/opium den vibe”.
Summary
“A great find” – Z He and Alex Peffly’s Soho 60s-style ‘tea room and bar’ in Soho is “not your standard Chinese”. Instead, it serves turbocharged versions of Cantonese classics, such as char sui using Iberico pork, alongside ambitious cocktails and house-made rice wine. The couple’s Bun House, originally on this site, moved to Chinatown two years ago.
Summary
The Soho branch of Bun House changed to Wun’s in late July 2019 – too late for this year’s survey – and, still under the ownership of Z He and Alex Peffly, is now a ‘1960s-style tea room and late night bar’. Set across two floors in Soho, it aims to mimic the communal, open-air cafes and restaurants in Hong Kong known as ‘dai pai dong’.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
