Imad Alarnab is among several restaurateurs opening new establishments at Somerset House, with Amy Poon set to launch her own in September 2025. Continuing the Poon family legacy, she has transitioned from pop-ups and online sales to this permanent restaurant, which will feature traditional Chinese dishes and a curated drinks menu. The ambiance reflects her parents' pioneering achievement when they opened the first Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in the UK. Amy Poon emphasizes the importance of creating a welcoming environment for diners, aiming to bring the authentic essence of home-cooked Chinese food to her patrons.
"Since my first pop-up in 2018, I've been searching for a space to call home. After various false starts, I could not have hoped for a more beautiful location than Somerset House."
"Five decades after my parents opened the first Poon's Restaurant in Lisle Street, I can no longer deny the calling. This is a way of welcoming people to my table, where you come if you don't have a nice Chinese friend who will cook for you at home."
