A new restaurant, Hon's BBQ, has opened its doors at Unit 7 Queen's Yard, Hackney Wick E9. The establishment is the brainchild of chef Man Hon Luk, who was inspired by the slow-smoked meats characteristic of Texas-style barbecue. Luk, who previously owned a record shop, has invested poker winnings into the venture.
Menu and Influences
The menu at Hon's BBQ features a range of slow-smoked meats, including duck, pork belly, and ox cheeks, with a notable addition of Sichuan beef short ribs. These dishes incorporate Asian flavours, a fusion developed by the Hong Kong-born chef. Sides offered include roasted cauliflower, mac 'n' cheese, and green beans prepared with a chili and spice mixture. The restaurant, which seats 80, is situated above Crate Brewery overlooking the canal.

Atmosphere and Future Plans
Man Hon Luk plans for Hon's BBQ to evolve into a music-led bar on weekends, with plans to host DJs. The restaurant's setting is described as an informal, industrial space with an open kitchen and a casual, feel-good vibe. Luk was inspired to learn barbecue techniques after encountering Interstellar, a restaurant in Austin, Texas, during a 2021 poker tournament.
