Background
About Out of China
The Story
Out of China was founded in 2002 on Carrer d'Aribau by the Wong family, who traces its cooking roots to Suzhou in southern China. The family arrived in Barcelona in the early 1990s and opened the restaurant with the aim of sharing southern Chinese home cooking. Today the restaurant is run by sisters Chenqi and Chenming Wong.
The Cuisine
The kitchen focuses on southern Chinese home cooking built around rice rather than wheat. Signatures include hand-made dumplings, Peking duck with pancakes, steamed and pan-fried dim sum, sweet and sour stewed pork ribs, curry prawns with courgette, and mochi. The restaurant states it cooks without MSG and sources km0 ingredients where possible.
The Team
The restaurant is run by sisters Chenqi and Chenming Wong, the second-generation owners. The family also operates Wong Family, a sister brand that distributes artisan gyozas to homes across Spain.
