I arrived for lunch and got a seat immediately at the bar next to the open kitchen. Service is slow, but I was able to see how diligently the cooking staff worked and how important it was for them to provide quality dishes for their customers. The chef would turn away rice because it didn't meet her standard. The waiting staff were polite, courteous, and checked with me periodically to let me know my food is coming. I had the steamed lobster and scallop dumpling, steamed bbq buns, and Mr. Wongs special fried rice. I got a little irritated waiting for my food, but I was humbled by observing how hard the cooking staff worked. The place was crowded at lunch time and I assume it gets crazier during dinner. My advise is to bring it down a notch, chill, and eat a Snickers if you get hangry. Remember that the food is made to order and it is worth the wait. I will definitely go again and highly recommend. read more

Well worth the hype. This is a must see when in Sydney. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's easy to miss as it's tucked away in an alley. The tram construction around the area doesn't help much either. read more

Mr Wong - Cantonese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Friendly and attentive staff on this Wednesday night. Do yourself a favor and order the sweet and sour pork hocks. I trusted our hostess who recommended, upon our request, that dish along with a few others. I had this weird idea of what it would be but went out on a limb and ordered it. It was love at first bite! Trust me, just order it with the fried rice. Melt in your mouth! read more

Visiting from the US. I'm not sure how this restaurant doesn't have 5 solid stars, it was delicious!!! We had the Peking duck, which I think was the best. The green beans and Shanghai modeles were very tasty. The soup dumplings were wonderful as well. Looking forward to returning. read more

Consistent and brilliant, easily Sydney's best place for high end Cantonese cuisine, one of the best wine lists and best place for duck. If you're lucky enough to be going, the steamed dumpling selection is a non-negotiable, as is the fried. The duck is just amazing and world beating; best I've ever, ever had. Beef in pepper sauce is also amazing as is kung pao chicken and the special fried rice. Service is amazing and flawless. As are the toilets. Top tips is to start your wait for your table in Palmer and co, directly beneath Mr Wongs--- there's a secret lift between the two venues. read more

The food is beyond any other Chinese cuisine by far. The staff was excellent. if I could give it a 10 star rating, I would.

Nice ambiance in an old converted warehouse located in a back alley/loading dock area, but was kinda crowded (although we heard it could get much more so) and very loud. So, don't plan on serious conversation if you decide to go. We were looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine, but for one bartender we saw no other actual Chinese people appeared to work there. How could there be no fun (flat noodles) in an actual Cantonese restaurant? So, that was the first problem. Secondly, as New Yorkers, we're used to getting exorbitant prices at every turn, but our 'exorbitant' prices in NY pale in comparison! Bring lots of money if you plan on eating! read more

You want best Asian in Sydney. Delete all memories of anything that even comes close and pick your chop sticks up at Mr Wongs. The team will not disappoint. Great service and friendly staff well done read more

Good place to try different Chinese foods in Sydney, and it's very impressive! Only thing holding me a while back is you must make appointment few weeks earlier. read more

Great food, wonderful wine selection. On the pricey side of fancy. Little niggle - they always make you wait for a table, even if there are available ones, sometimes even when you have booked. read more

Surprisingly delightful. Was a little apprehensive when I arrived as I thought it would be another one of those overhyped fusion chinese restaurant. IT IS NOT! The food is tasty and and playful. Location and atmosphere was wonderfully nostalgic. Wait persons were polite and helpful. Overall wonderful place to RT out and go back again. read more

The Sydney architectural scheme definitely pays homage to their British Imperial roots. 1880s London architecture abounds which is why when I turned down a small, dungeonous (making up words again!) alleyway in the middle of a dark and rainy Sunday night I was filled with a sense of trepidation. Would I be wandering into Jack the Ripper London? The dirty stone and cast iron motif definitely made this no small possibility, but I quickly discovered my errant imagination was mere fantasy because what was once a general store in the 1880s, then a famous Sydney newspaper room, an advertising office, and a nightclub eventually became one of the CBD's most popular restaurants, Mr. Wongs. After a brief stroll down the alleyway, tempering down my heart rate, I uncovered a line of people waiting in the cold and rain. Eureka I have found it! And as a single diner I knew I could probably sweep up a small seat at the bar while these people waited at least an hour (from what I heard the hostess tell the group ahead of me) for a table. It should be noted that this place does not allow reservations for less than 6 people, so either invite all your friends, boldly make nice with some strangers with large pockets, be prepared to wait at least an hour, or dine solo. While the space is expansive, two stories of dining, the menu is small and intimate. This isn't your Americanized Chinese establishment-- this place is classy and pricey. There are 2-3 pages of food choices including a raw bar, appetizers, and entrees. Another 3-4 pages are devoted to set menus for more than 4 persons, and all are of varying chef selections. Even the dim sum menu is a chef selection. The remaining menus (pleural) is for drinks.. drinks... drinks. Note: dim sum personal selections can be had during lunch only. Not wanting to test my luck with the dim sum I settled on the Peking Duck. I've been craving this since having experienced true Peking Duck for the first time in Hong Kong this January and this rendition did not disappoint. It wasn't the perfection I had in HK or Beijing (aka Peking), but for a 10 hour plane ride away from China it was the best I've had since. The skin was crispy, the duck succulent and not at all gamey. This place isn't cheap, but the $43 "small" order comes with 8 pancakes and is the perfect size for sharing. I also heard great things about the Shanghai fried rice--$18 (small). This was better than what I had in Shanghai with an excellent balance of salt and roasted pork flavors. The vegetables were super fresh. A small order was the equivalent of a pint. The food arrived super fast, which means it's not made as fresh to order as I would like, and hence the downgrade from 5 to 4 stars. The drink menu is incredible and imaginative... Playful even. In the end I settled on their signature drink the Dagong (sp?) Lake Cocktail with lychee sorbet and various liquors. It's blue and served chilled. Not as tasty as I had hoped for $18, but despite not tasting boozy in the least I quickly felt the effect. This cocktail is dangerous-- strong. I skipped a second lest I fall down drunk and opted instead for some red tea. Delicious, but a word to the wise, don't let this tea steep for too long or it will get bitter. I'm not a dessert eater, but they have FRIED ICECREAM-- and it's vanilla with butterscotch. Just send down an oompah-loompa to roll me outta here. The portion size is large and like the dishes above meant for sharing-- but sadly not meant for doggy bagging. This is why I need to travel with a personal freezer! But I digress. The butterscotch is a bit overpowering, but classically British. The batter could be crispier and warmer, because a hot exterior with a cold ice cream center is the dream-- the dream damnit-- but the coconut shavings in the batter really add an exotic element to what is essentially vanilla ice cream and cake. The final damage: $101.50 AUD which is practically Monopoly money right? Dining alone has the disadvantage of leaving enough food to feed the starving homeless I passed sleeping on the street on the way here, but the staff packs it all up in a nice doggy bag. Michelin hasn't made it to Australia yet, and I don't know why, but If you're looking for a Michelin star quality restaurant in Sydney, look no further than Mr. Wongs. read more

The food was delicioso! We were seated immediately even though it was a busy Friday evening- 3 adults and a baby. The hostess informed us we had about 1 hour and 45 minutes since others had a reservation. We were all starving and weren't quite sure what to order. Our waitress recommended the dumplings since it was quick and also a variety. We were able to get all vegetable and seafood, which is nice since not a fan of pork. We started with a pot of jasmine tea and shared it throughout the meal. We continued and shared our dinner. We had a large vegetarian fried rice, fish(cod) from New Zealand, and crispy eggplants. We finished every single grain and leek. The fish was boneless and so soft! It was melting in my mouth- it was firm, yet delicate. I believe it was steamed, the leeks and ginger gave it amazing flavor. The crispy eggplant was also a huge success with our table. At first we weren't sure because it came with some kind of fish sauce. Let's just say it was fantastic. Loved the crunchy batter and again the flavors were so delish. We all enjoyed the vegetarian fried rice- again just rice but so many yummy flavors. I have to be honest I was turned off since we were sitting next to roasted ducks on hooks, but I quickly got over it after we started eating. I went to the bathroom and on my way you get to see the magic happening in the kitchen- wow so much happening. A bustling kitchen: people chopping, washing, stirring, and working as a team. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food, but this is a must to visit. I loved this restaurant! It's a bit awkward to find (in an alleyway), but we had a local friend show us the way;) I'll be back for sure! Delicious food and short walk from the Opera House. read more

Mr Wong - Business card - Cantonese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Great food. however, as a man with PTSD from visiting uncle Terry's house not long after his divorce, I had to bring my service dog with me. When I arrived, a kind man clapped, saying "Ah, yes, fresh product," and proceeded to wisp him away, even after my trying to convince him that this dog was something that I was required to have, whom to which he responded, "sorry no English." I have not yet seen my dog again yet. Bonus point for saving my reserved table to which I was ten minutes late for, as I went the "Wong" way. read more

Best Chinese I know. Been there last year and now. Food is excellent, atmosphere is entertaining, original and beautiful and... That Service!! Peking duck is my favorite food in here. read more

Dear Mr Wong, Just a quick note to say you have one fine establishment!! From the front door service, to the waitstaff and finally to the impressive fitout - well done. As you were. Your biggest fan. So of course, as part of the ever expanding list of Merivale restaurants, Mr Wong, in my very humble opinion, is high up on this list as a near perfect restaurant - near perfect since it would be wrong of me to suggest a restaurant is perfect in every sense of the word - setting myself and others up for disaster in the event it doesn't live up to expectation. So for the purpose of this review, it is near perfect however I cannot for the very life of me, list a fault against Mr Wong. Dish of the night: Steamed fish fillet with ginger and shallots If you have eaten at Mr Wong and you mistakenly glanced over this dish, or you have yet to visit Mr Wong, what are you doing still sitting here reading this? I'm serious, do what you can to get yourself down to Mr Wong now - I don't care how or what you need to do, just get down there and fight your way in for a table to try what will be the lightest fish fillet you will have ever tasted - guaranteed!! And take your time with it. Savour each bite and really focus on the flavour and the texture. Now that I have that out of my system, I want to briefly touch on the fit out - totally appropriate use of uppercase here - BRILLIANT!! When you walk in, you are greeted with such a visual smack in the face - where do you look at first? The open kitchen (yet again why do my eyes focus here???), the exposed brick walls, the low tables, the high tables, the ceiling lights, the hidden nooks and crannies for those sneaky little intimate dinners ;) ?? You look wherever you bloody well can and you take it all in. Heads up, the waitstaff are some of the most polite people you will be sure to come across. We were advised at the time of being seated that we will need to vacate the table after 2.5hrs (which was perfectly fine for us) so when it was time, the maître d' came over and personally escorted us down (through their internal lifts) into Palmer & Co for a post dinner drink. Now that's service for you. read more

Had an excellent dinner here with family, booking is required as it's always packed. We had wonton and schezuan soup, kung pao chicken and crispy duck paired with an Austrian Grüner veltliner - all delicious and savoury. Highly recommended! read more

This review is coming MONTHS after visiting Mr. Wongs for dinner - but i'm writing this review because the meal was unforgettable. It seems that a cluster of 'trendy' restaurants sit within the same vicinity, and like the others - you can find this one in an alleyway - whats next a man hole? hmmmm... clever idea for a meal Ninja Turtle style huh. Meal was delicious and per usual left our stomachs full but desperatly wanting more. We would have if we were able to take home a doggie bag. But due to food quality reasons they don't let you. Staff was fantastic! super attentive. Loved the decor, as most other yelpers have said - hong kong vibe. read more

Above-average Chinese food at way-above-average prices. We ordered the following: - two ciders; - steamed dim sum platter (2 x 4 different types of dumpling (3 prawn and 1 mushroom)); - black pepper king prawns; - half roast duck; - steamed white rice; - fried ice cream with butterscotch sauce; and - roast white chocolate ice cream with various fruits; and the bill came to $150. One hundred and fifty dollars. For Chinese food. Between two people. And we didn't even order any crab or lobster. I probably wouldn't come here again but it's a nice restaurant for a special occasion or a first date or something. The decor is fabulous and the service is reasonably good. Out of the dishes we ordered, I liked the black pepper king prawns the best. The dim sum platter and the roast duck were pretty good too. I didn't think much of the desserts but my boyfriend loved the fried ice cream. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner here in May 2013 while visiting Australia. We spent 15 days traveling around Australia in April/May 2013 (Daintree, Port Douglas, Cairns, and Sydney), and never had a bad meal, but our meal at Mr. Wong was exceptional. The décor and ambience were incredible. The service could not have been better. As they don't take reservations (at least our concierge at the hotel told us that they do not take reservations), we were so happy to get to try this restaurant. We started with the assorted steamed dim sum... fantastic! We then ordered the sweet and sour crispy pork hock... absolutely amazing, and likely the star of the night. As I was hoping for a bit of spice, we also had the Kung Pao Chicken and the spinach in chili paste - both very, very good. We ended on a light note of the green apple ice, which was light and imaginative. Next time we are in Sydney, we are so going back for another dinner - as the experience was hands down pretty terrific. Would absolutely recommend to anyone while in Sydney - you won't regret it. read more

Charming restaurant, a bit on the expensive side yet the service is excellent and the roasted duck is to die for. They have a wide selection of wines that the waiter will kindly match to your dinner. As a #celiac they accommodated my dietary needs and had a wonderful meal. read more

Great restaurant! I was expecting just another fusionized Chinese restaurant but was very pleasantly surprised. First up: You can only reserve a table if you have a party of 6 or more. You can't put your name down when the restaurant opens at 5:30pm and then return at a later time and expect to be seated (they said that's just like making a reservation which they don't accept) There were 3 of us and we really wanted to order dim sum from their lunch menu (so that we could at least get 1 of each variety we choose... but for dinner they only sell their dim sum platter where you get 8 pieces (4 different kinds x 2). We ended up halving some dim sum etc so that all 3 of us try each flavour. I asked if they could (for an extra charge) do 3x3 (3 flavours, 3 each) but nope no customization allowed. I guess they have all the dim sums ready to go in their steamer and can't possibly switch things around. Anyway we ordered 1) Dim sum platter 2) Mr Wong special Fried Rice 3) Fish with ginger shallot 4) Sweet and sour pork 5) Bok choy (vegetable dish) (note: they didn't bring out the vegetable dish - I am assuming it was forgotten - so we ended up cancelling the order) We wanted to order pipis with XO sauce ( to compare it to Golden Century's pipis with XO sauce) but alas..they had sold out of pipis that night (we were there at 8:30) All the dishes had a very clean, non-greasy, flavourful taste which I liked. Fish was just perfect and dim sum was tightly filled with stuffing. Their sweet and sour pork was fried without the batter and was more like Japanese style soy sauce braised pork belly (chunky pork belly pieces, deep fried, with sweet and sour tasting sauce but that looked more like soy sauce if that makes sense?). Pork was definitely very "flavourful" (maybe too much sauce in a way - I like things to taste subtle!) and we ended up ordering extra bowl of rice to just finish the pork. We had the mango pudding for dessert and while both my friends weren't really into desserts, they both LOVED the dessert as well. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu!! read more

Make a reservation well in advance. The restaurant is very popular and gets crowded. Decent service at the bar but obviously not the priority. Great dim sum of the day, fried eggplant, fried rice and chicken. Somewhat over priced, based upon the quality and portion size. Overall the experience was good and did not regret the decision while on vacation. read more

So impressed with Mr. Wong. Amazing how they are able to serve such a great product and provide such hospitality in such an incredibly enormous space....but they do it and absolutely kill it! Food was delicious and the people watch also did not disappoint. read more

This place is difficult to find, because the entrance is down an alley-- but perhaps it adds to the eclectic Chinese speakeasy atmosphere. The drinks are quite good. I ordered the dim sum platter, the duck pancakes, the salt and pepper squid, and the eggplant. The dim sum was like a fancy fusion version of the originals which I liked, but I'm positive my 99 year old Chinese grandmother would have been sorely disappointed. The duck pancakes were solid, but not particularly better than any other restaurant I have been to for Beijing duck. The sauce has some interesting spices in it, but other than that it is nothing special. The salt and pepper squid was like huge hunks of battered squid almost as big as my hand. They weren't overcooked, but the huge pieces mean that the batter comes off in chunks. The squid needed a lot more seasoning. The eggplant is by far the worst thing. It's deep fried and coated in a sauce which is way too sweet and tart at the same time. It's overwhelming in the worst way. I thought this would be a cool place to take my boyfriend when he came to visit me in Sydney, but we both felt too ripped off to really enjoy the evening. This place is overpriced mediocre fusion, not authentic Chinese. read more

I don't know about you, but I remember growing up in Australia, where pretty much our only Asian cuisine was Chinese. Many a family dinner was enjoyed at the local chinese restaurant dining on exotic delicacies such as beef and black bean, lemon chicken and fried rice. As they say with fashion, everything goes in circles and true to form, Chinese is now cool again. Merivale's newest baby, Mr Wong is bringing Cantonese cuisine back to the main stream, and it's making it ultra cool in the process. (You just know if anyone can make Chinese cool again, it's the Hemmes'). In true Merivale style, the decor of Mr Wong is ultra chic. Chinese colonial furnishings, bamboo chairs, wood columns and traditional Oriental ornaments decorate the massive restaurant, giving it an unmistakable Chinese feel, whilst the open stainless steel kitchen keeps it modern. Rows of wine bottles complement rows of hanging ducks. They don't take bookings (for under 6), but they're more than happy to take your name and number, whilst suggesting you visit nearby Palmer & Co. (another Merivale property) for a drink. They have it all sorted, see. Mr M and I visit Mr Wong late on a Wednesday evening, and it's packed. In fact, even at 9pm, there's still a 45 minute wait for a table. So, being good patrons, we visit Palmer & Co. for a drink while we wait. Less than 45 minutes later, we receive our much awaited call. Executive Chef Dan Hong, Merivale royalty, and also responsible for such establishments as the now defunct Lotus, Ms Gs and El Loco, along with Head Chef Jowett Yu and Head Dim Sum Chef Eric Koh, have created a modern Cantonese menu. The menu is large and they also offer banquet menus (for 4 or more), ranging from $68 - $148 pp. You'll notice your old favourites, such as beef and black bean, Chinese roasted duck, fried rice and even fried ice-cream, but the descriptions certainly sound more 'fancy' than I remember from my younger days. Unfortunately, it's late, and we are not particularly hungry this evening, so we decide to share: * Salt and Pepper Calamari * Pastured fed beef and black bean, red chilli, asparagus and baby corn * Stir fried egg noodles with king prawn and prawn roe The food certainly does take me back to my childhood and I can't help feeling a sense of comfort, it brings me to a happy place. My only regret is that I should have visited earlier and hungrier! I must go back to try more dishes on the menu soon. I'm particularly excited to try their Dim Sum Menu - I heart Xiao long bao! Mr Wong is also a great place for a group, and a handy late night dining option. So, return to your childhood and check out Mr Wong soon. read more

Wow. Don't let the lane way or old memories of Tank nightclub hold you back. From the moment you are greeted at the door by a bow tie clad maitre d you will be impressed. Firstly the great atmosphere created by the open kitchen, before being taken in by a sense of history from the high rise ceilings of 30's based building. Great bar if you wanted to eat in a more casual setting but on this occasion i was in a group of six. Great ambiance, but not loud enough to interrupt your own more intimate conversation. Wine selection was good without costing the earth. If that's not enough, there's the food. The peking duck, crispy skin chicken and dumplings were nothing short of divine. six of us dined for just shy of $500. Note there was a fair bit of wine consumed and no one left hungry. read more

Apart from the wait time, and that the food may come at different times, the restaurant is exceptionally priced for the quality and service provided, it's loud, however the ambience provides that romantic feel if your going with a loved one. Fresh live seafood from the tank, and great meat cuts. It's a must to go. Average main meal is $35, the banquet is great if your big eaters. read more

I ate at Mr Wong recently as a bit of a celebration for completing my latest round of exams. The prices probably warrant more of a celebration lunch rather than a typical Thursday lunch, but that's what I was going for and I couldn't have been happier with my choice to go there. All the dim sum options were tried were fantastic. The wait staff were all very professional yet friendly and the service was so quick. I'll definitely be back as there's a menu page or so full of mains that I've yet to get stuck into! My advice is to book if you can. I believe they only take bookings for parties of 6 or more at dinner, but for any number at lunch, and when we showed up at noon (when it opens), my husband and I had to sit at the bar as they actually had no tables free. As we left, we could literally see they had NO tables free. It's a very popular spot! read more

The meeting of two great minds occurred recently at Mr Wong. After a couple of years of trading jibes, East (Andrew O) met West (moi) at a venue of East's recommendation. Given that East had to schlepp cross town in a suit to get there I was pretty confident it was gonna be good. Plus, Howard wrote a review. So did 119 other people. Enough said. Well. Dumplings, crisp shirted endlessly tall androgynous wait staff, fizzy water, interesting decor, brilliant architecture, linen table service and terrific company, what's not to love? Especially when the aforementioned East, despite me inferring he was fat once, picked up the tab. So kind. How was the food? Nothing like in my 'hood in Pert, I'll give you the drum. It disappeared pretty quickly. I might have been talking with food in my mouth at times. Miss Manners would not approve. I have a vague recollection of slightly cold Xiao Long Bao, delicious scallop somethings, delectable prawn something else's and oh wow, the 'prawn toasts' were out of this world. But do not order if you have an aversion to Foie Gras. I think there was some inside. They were insanely good. But not nearly as good as the company. Thank you Andrew O for your hospitality. My turn next. read more

The only thing that would make this place better is if it was open 24 hours. As it is, besides the Chinatown 2am restos or a hotel bar this is the only place to get great food in the CBD after 10pm on a week night. Despite its high end marketing I've rocked up in a tee shirt and trainers and been seated without a fancy pants glare. Yes the food is more expansive but I think most people ignore the value for money. The size, quality and care put into every plate along with the world class staff make this place a better deal than all downtown competitors. For no more than 10-15% premium per plate you are getting the freshest ingredients and lovingly made food. Or you can go towards central and eat reheated food that may or may not be thrown on to the table with a deep sigh from the server for inconveniencing them by showing up. Mr Wongs for the win every time. Go late and go often. And try and eat downstairs a few times. Grand room with a killer cosmopolitan vibe. read more

Went today for a pre Christmas catch up lunch. I have to say, our favourite yumcha places will never be the same. We are ruined now! We started with drinks. I had the coconut and kaffir mocktail but added rum :) awesome! We then decided to order all the dim sim from #5 onwards. My favourite was the mushroom and black truffle dumpling, and the duck spring roll. Desserts, well were simple and delicious. Fried ice cream with a fantastic butterscotch with the perfect balance of salt and sweet. We also had the mango pudding. Both had people practically licking the bowl. It was $60 each, for more than enough food, dessert and 1-2 drinks each. We didn't try any mains... Gotta have a reason to go back! read more

Can't be beat. From design, to menu, to service look no further than Mr Wong for modern Chinese in Sydney. Reservations are only available for large groups, so make sure to get there early, get your name on the list. Then you can head round the corner to Palmer&Co. and have amazing drinks while you wait. They'll pass you through to the restaurant when it's time for your food fest to begin. Save room for dessert as there are some epic ones on the menu. read more

I came here for Sunday brunch during the March into Merivale special. I ordered the duck spring rolls, pork bao and the Mr. Wong Tiki sling to wash it all down. Everything was delicious- albeit a bit heavy-and the brunch menu wasn't *overpriced* at all for quality of food, service and overall experience. I sat near the prep kitchen (there's another kitchen where they make the final dishes) so was able to watch the ducks getting smoked, asparagus getting peeled, pork being measured.....so much fun! Overall great experience and very inviting atmosphere. I would love to come back for dinner to try items from the full menu!! read more

Outstanding food and atmosphere! It's a large place but still feels quite intimate with its 1920s feel and dim lighting. I get the criticism that you can get more authentic Chinese food at a considerable discount to their prices in Chinatown but notwithstanding that, at face value, I am a lover not a hater of Mr Wong's. I spent a thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours there on a Friday lunch. My absolute favourite dish was the wagyu rib eye with wasabi ginger and scallion sauce. The wagyu absolutely melts in your mouth (melted my heart too but let's not get cheesy). However, this dish was closely followed on the favourite scale by the peking duck pancakes and salt and pepper calamari. Other good dishes were the butter prawns and the Mapo tofu (so so so so silky). But let's not ignore dessert. Their deep fried icecream with butterscotch sauce is heavenly and somehow manages to be both light and rich at the same time. I was very sad to leave even though there was no way I could eat anything else. I will quite possibly dream about the wagyu tonight... read more

Love the feeling that you are entering a speakeasy back in the day. Easy to miss the little sign painted on the brick. The food was good. Atmosphere was better than the food. Had our 24 year old son with us who didn't bring his passport. When we asked if we could show a picture of the passport, they responded negatively (we weren't aware of the rules) and handled the entire situation poorly. We could see the staff having side conversations looking at our table making for an unpleasant, unwelcome experience. read more

I had heard nothing but rave reviews about Mr Wong's and a colleague and I took a few staff colleagues here. Loved the ambience and layout and in turn the food. Pork hock was sublime as were the veges and dumplings and white fish. However the service was really disappointing. I ordered a beer and had to check 3 times where it was. Likewise when we ordered water. When I ordered some fresh chilli and soy to accompany the food I had to ask possibly 4 times and with different staff. Very very ordinary and unprofessional. And also a little arrogant including the maître de. Additionally we were also charged for rice x 3 which never arrived. I only picked that up after the meal when I went over the receipt whilst sober! So my summary is 5 stars for food, atmosphere and ambience but 2-3 stars for service. read more

A highly recommended restaurant by a number of our friends. It did not disappoint! Great food, cocktails and atmosphere! Don't forget to make reservations! They are a must! read more

There is no doubt the food is delicious the question is "is it worth the price?". I've eaten similar meals at Din Tai Fung and other top dim sum restaurants my summary is that you definitely pay the price at Mr Wong for the ambience and the service and the experience of eating down a Lane in some retro Chic restaurant with character and personality; in other words a great place to show off with a nice partner emotional or business. read more

Not sure what all the Hype is but the food was average. If you go to Chinatown you would save a few $$$$$$. This place is very pricy and I did not find the food any better than food in other Chinese restaurant. 8 pieces of special dumpling for entree was $32. It did not taste any different from other places who has Yum Cha for lunch. We had the following for last night 1. Special Dumplings 2. Crispy Pigs Ears. ( Yummy) 3. Mapo Tufo ( Take Away Chinese restaurants tasted better than this) 4. Roast Duck. ( No worth it) 5. 2 Beers 6. One Latte 7. Mandarin Ice Cream ( YUMMY) Total cost = $222. As I said as above. Very average taste. Nothing special. You can get the same taste in other restaurants and pay only quarter of this price. read more
