Andrew Wong

Andrew Wong is a chef, anthropologist and cultural observer. British born of Chinese heritage, his environment and nurture have had an equal impact. The marriage of both, combined with a solid academic background, has led to a cooking style that has one foot placed firmly in the future and the other inspired by the past.

Born and brought up in London, Andrew has been immersed in the world of restaurants since childhood. His grandfather, who moved to London as a Chinese refugee, owned a restaurant in Chinatown, and his father was the first Chinese publican in the UK. In 1985, his parents opened a Cantonese restaurant in Pimlico, now the present location of his restaurant A. Wong.

Chef Andrew Wong's cuisine has always been an intuitive expression of tradition, authenticity and craft. He garners inspiration from the work of past ancestors and present masters with equal respect, celebrating their truest form with a fresh perspective and subtle innovation. He is looking forward to discovering the possible future of Chinese gastronomy and its potential as it evolves.
