Korean fried chicken brand Wing Wing has announced that it is to close its flagship Chinatown restaurant at the end of the month four years after its launch.

Located on Charing Cross Road, the three-floor 2,500sq ft restaurant has event spaces and KTV karaoke rooms alongside the dining room. The restaurant opened at the start of 2021 but will close on 30 January.

The brand is known for its focus on ‘chimaek’ – a combination of chicken and maekju, the Korean word for beer – and serves signature chicken wings and drumsticks as well as a range of katsu baos, burgers, wraps and rice boxes, battered calamari and prawns.

Writing on social media, the company says that it is working at broadening its delivery radius with its partners to be able to bring its food to more Londoners.

The closure will take the brand to just one site, in Bloomsbury’s Tavistock Square, down from its height of three, when it also operated a site in Hammersmith.
