A tribute to the Bristol institutions that have closed their doors. Though they're gone, the memories of great meals remain.
Tuk Tuck
KOREAN •STOKES CROFT
A no-frills, brilliantly laid-back Asian fusion and Korean street food joint right in the heart of Stokes Croft. They focus entirely on serving massive, comforting stone bowls of bibimbap, deeply flavorful katsu, and top-tier Korean fried chicken. Fast, affordable, and incredibly vegan-friendly, it’s the exact kind of independent spot you want to duck into for an honest, filling meal with your chosen family without emptying your wallet.
Daily Noodles
ASIAN •HARBOURSIDE
A lively, independent noodle and bao bar, established by chef Larkin Cen (Woky Ko founder) and later becoming employee-owned. Located in a converted shipping container at Wapping Wharf, it specializes in freshly made noodles with toppings like Braised Pork, Fried Chicken Katsu, and a variety of vegan options, alongside creative bao buns and small plates. It is known for quick service, casual waterside seating, and generous portions.
