Pot & Rice (Soho) is an Asian restaurant at 16A D’Arblay Street specialising in traditional Chinese clay pot rice. Each dish is cooked and served in the same vessel, leaving the rice soft in the centre with a crisp, deeply toasted crust around the base and sides. Homemade soy sauce is poured over and mixed through at the table so every spoonful can combine soft grains, savoury toppings and crunchy rice.
Clay pot combinations include ginger soy chicken with shiitake mushrooms, beef with preserved mustard greens, and Chinese salami with dried shrimp and mushroom. Korean style beef adds kimchi and egg yolk, while pork patty comes with bamboo shoots and dried squid. Braised aubergine in soy garlic sauce offers a vegetable centred option with tofu and shiitake mushrooms.
Premium pots feature garlic chilli lobster, Malaysian spicy seafood and Japanese A5 Wagyu, while pan fried foie gras with Chinese salami brings European richness to the traditional format. The wider menu includes bao, cheung fun, noodles and dishes designed for sharing. Pan fried beef dumplings, smashed cucumber, crisp sweetcorn bites and chips tossed with Sichuan pepper make varied introductions to the main rice pots.
The Soho restaurant has a private dining space as well as tables for everyday lunch and dinner. Milk teas provide a cool, sweet counterpoint to chilli, soy and toasted rice, while soft drinks and tea suit lighter meals. Homemade mochi and other Asian inspired desserts complete a menu that balances familiar comfort with distinctive texture and carefully layered flavours.
