Meet our founders, Chris Hsu and Noam Bar - the duo behind Kung Fu Mama, bringing their signature sun-dried noodles to London. 🌞⁠

Chris founded his noodle business in Taiwan, using recipes inspired by his grandma. When he and his family came over to London in 2019 he met Noam, co-founder of Ottolenghi. ⁠

Together, they set out to create something healthy, high-quality and full of flavour - and Kung Fu Mama was born. ⁠

Come down and visit them at their second site in Canary Wharf. 🍜⁠
