"The Chinatown Cantonese institution has a brisk and blunt approach to service and treats everyone the same: whether you’re dining solo, piling in with mates, or terminating the bond with someone you once thought was the love of your life. We find slurping wonton noodle soup is always a good, if entirely inappropriate, tactic during difficult conversations. Should things get really bad, know that Wong Kei is cash-only. So come prepared and you can throw down a £20 note (plenty, including tip) once the deed is done. It doesn’t feel great, but maybe you just went heavy on the chilli oil." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
