Pot and Rice
Traditionally known as Clay pot rice is one of the most loved street foods in the southern region of China and its nearby countries and has been cooked this way for hundreds of years. The rice is traditionally cooked and served in the same pot to create a dish that is deliciously soft in the middle, with a scrumptious scorched crust around the bottom and sides. Newly opened in Soho, Pot and Rice offers an array of dishes including their signature Pot and Rice, Noodles, Baos, and Milk Tea.

A judge for the Great Taste Awards, and great British Food Awards with a qualification from London’s world-famous Le Cordon Bleu, co-founder Vidushi Binani crafts each dish using sustainable, seasonal, and ethically sourced produce.
