2022 has been a challenging year all round and it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to close Ying Son. Our last trading day will be Tuesday 20th December.
We would like to thank all of you who supported us - from the local neighbourhood as well as those who traveled from far. We've loved getting to know you and we've loved sharing our space and our food with you.
We'll be taking a break to rest and enjoy some family time but we hope this won't be the end of the road for Ying Son.
The Chinese word for "good bye" translates as "see you again." So instead of good bye, we'll say see you again soon ❤️
