Hoh Sek Noodles opens first site at St. Katharine Docks
The brand new noodle concept was founded by Rosa’s Thai Cafe’s Saiphin and Alex Moore.
The founders of Rosa’s Thai Cafe has opened its noodle concept in St. Katharine Docks.
A five-minute walk from the Tower of London and Tower Hill tube station, Hoh Sek Noodles is housed inside a waterside pavilion and offers a casual dining experience throughout the day, with the option for customers to perch and eat at one of the tables inside or outside on the terrace or get grab & go options.
The core daytime menu, known as ‘Saiphin’s Six’, consists of six noodle dishes primarily Chinese in focus, with Asia-wide ingredient influences, and is available from 11:30am through 4pm daily.
During evenings, Hoh Sek transforms into a 40-cover sit-down restaurant service, including eight seats at the kitchen bar counter, and a further 44 seats available outside on the terrace during summer months.
Co-founder Saiphin Moore says plans to offer a weekly specials board with some of her own home recipes are on the way, and added that she will host one off supper clubs and customer menu tastings at Hoh Sek.
“Noodles have always held a special place in my heart as it was my first noodle shop, which I set up when I was 14 in Thailand, that first started me on my career as a chef. Years later, Alex and I met in Hong Kong and we fell in love with the street food noodles there,” she said. “You can buy great and tasty noodles from almost every street stall and they're also served in the more traditional restaurants. They’re a real symbol of the city’s thriving food scene, so this is what we now want to bring to London and share with everybody.”
Hoh Sek was established with the support of private equity group TriSpan, which acquired a majority stake in Rosa’s Thai Cafe last year. Saiphin and Alex's roles at Rosa's Thai Cafe remain unchanged.
