Since 1992, Poons has operated this branch in the City, less than a 5-minute walk from the Tower of London. The restaurant is modeled on the Luk Yew Tree House in Hong Kong. Main courses feature crispy aromatic duck, prawns with cashew nuts, and barbecued pork. Poons's famous lap yuk soom (like Cantonese tacos) includes finely chopped wind-dried bacon. Special dishes can be ordered on 24-hour notice. At the end of the L-shaped restaurant is an 80-seat fast-food area and takeout counter that's accessible from Mark Lane. The menu changes every 2 weeks.
