Sweet and sour pork has been winning hearts for generations, and the Cantonese original — gu lao rou — remains the best version of it. We fry bite-sized pieces of pork until the coating turns golden and crisp, then toss them quickly through a glossy sauce that hits the perfect note between fruity sweetness and vinegar tang, so the crunch survives all the way to your table.
Mild, glossy, and endlessly likeable, it is the dish that turns first-time visitors into regulars and keeps kids happily at the table. Order it with steamed rice or fried rice, add it to a family dinner, and enjoy it via dine-in, pickup, or delivery anywhere in downtown London.
The Secret Is in the Timing
Sauce too early and the crunch is gone; too little sauce and the flavour falls flat. Because every order is cooked fresh, we glaze the pork at the last moment — the reason our sweet and sour pork stays crispy instead of soggy.
How to Order It
Pair Sweet and Sour Pork with steamed or fried rice, add spring rolls to start, or build a family dinner around it. Online ordering makes pickup and delivery simple across downtown London and nearby neighbourhoods.
