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

Hang out with friends for lunch. Great prawn shumai, fried rice, noodle, and fried eggplant but some choices recommended from the server were all craps. Sweet and sour pork hock was salty and burned. Nice interior and atmosphere, though. 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

The sauternes and desert is a must do. Reservations can be competitive so make sure to plan.

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

Good place to eat. Nice lunch - very busy place and fairly high noise level. King Crab rice was delicious. So was the honey chicken. Fairly pricey $115 for three for lunch. Would have enjoyed dinner there. We sat at the bar as there was a long wait and we didn't have reservations. All in all, a good experience. read more

Dan Hong has delivered one of the best upmarket Chinese restaurants in Sydney. The service, food and setting is top shelf. He's taken deep inspiration from Melbourne's Flower Drum but he wins silver to their gold. Definitely highly recommend it. read more

One of Merivale's best in my opinion. Make sure you book a table as this place is always packed! I haven't had a bad dish, but my recommendations are that you get a double order of the duck pancakes, the beef and black bean main, the steamed fish with ginger and shallots and that you save room for the fried icecream. If you only ended up with the duck pancakes and the fried icecream you'd be doing juuuuuuuust fine as these are both to die for dishes! Be prepared for overly attentive servers (seriously, I think they have a stopwatch to come and check on you every three minutes) but an overall fantastic dining experience! read more

Another amazing meal! Arriving at 7.30pm on Friday night we were lucky enough to get a table after a last minute cancellation. The food as always was amazing & the service impeccable! A particular highlight was the deep fried eggplant - highly recommend it! read more

I have been working in "high tech" for a while now so I have met some redonkulously well paid people in my time, and when I say redonkulous, I'm talking got in on the IPO. Every now and then I meet someone who is so busy and so important that they have had to outsource every part of their existence including but not limited to reading off a menu and ordering some tasty sounding food. Every meal starts with a dismissive "Whatever, just pick something." I always wondered what it would be like to wield the kind of power that let's you relinquish choice and know that you won't be disappointed because no one dare disappoint you. Today I got a small taste of that power when Sunny the maitre d personally decided our whole lunch for us. Normally I wouldn't be game to try this but my colleague knows Sunny (as in actually knows Sunny not just says she knows Sunny to try and get preferential treatment). Also, work was paying. Thanks work. So of course the meal was delicious and well put together and perfect. We had dim sums tobiko, scallop and prawn, jade seafood and ku chive, and pork and prawn shumai. Main was aromatic duck spring rolls, salt and pepper Balmain bugs and king crab fried rice. Dessert - DESSERT! Mango pudding, passionfruit granita, pomelo and pearls, raspberries and cream and fried ice cream! I'm way into sharing if it means I get three desserts. Without these kinds of experiences, Exec visits from Head Office can be a pain in the ass. Now I can't wait for another one to wake up one morning and say "I think it's time for a jolly to Australia". read more

I really wanted to like Mr. Wong's after hearing good things and all the hype. My experience was a mixed bag and unfortunately I didn't like it enough to return. The furnishings are presented as a modern twist on a 1930s Chinese yum cha den and has a dark and cool vibe. Keeping with its location in the Tank Streamway, it is dimly lit and there are no windows. The dining hall was very crowded and loud - so crowded that diners have to suck in their bellies and squeeze their way through the seated diners to get to their own table. The food was good. Dumplings are large and the fillings are generous - but at $5 - $6 per dumpling compared to 90 cents at other Chinese restaurants like Din Tai Fung, this is an indication of how overpriced the food is. read more

Colonial Hong Kong vibe. I generally snub fusion food but I found those items to be the most memorable. Lamb cutlets and hocks were superb. Deep fried ice cream, an item I associate with American gluttony, was pretty epic. Not overly sweet. Vanilla rich. Fresh. Shared with others, it's the perfect. Brilliant wait staff made great recommendations read more

I would come here for the ambiance. My pain point is that the food did not taste authentic, and was very pricey for what it offered. I really wanted to like this place. However, the dessert (namely, the mandarin dessert) was absolutely delicious. read more

FANTASTIC! What a divine meal we had at Mr. Wong. Imagine being in an old romantic European building with the characteristic of a true Chinese place, hello hanging pigs! Mr. Wong exceeded my expectations. For starters we got the soup dumplings which were good but had better. The duck pancakes followed and well, I forgot anything I ate days prior to it. The duck pancakes are a must! For the main dish, we got crab fried rice. Can I just sit on this dish for a bit? The rice was so good and not sticky at all! All the flavors were so well balanced. Probably the best fried rice I've never had. We also got the Mongolian beef which was so delicious... again, the flavors were very well done. I didn't feel like crap after eating Chinese food. Highly recommend these two main dishes. Looking forward to my next visit already! I really wished the U.S had a place like this. read more

The restraurant is soooo amazing！ I m sure this one is my favourite in Sydney. Each dishes I had was yummy. The fried icecream is quite good. The food is more western food than Chinese, but it even has better taste than other Chinese food. I could say the salad in this restraurant is the best one I tried. It is better taste than all Chinese salad I had before，even in China. It cost 120 for two persons， but the food is worth this price. read more

Delicious food and good service, all in a beautiful restaurant. Definitely get the duck pancakes--so worth it. FOOD: Delicious. The items on the dinner menu are meant to be shared. One appetizer and two mains were enough for two people--we definitely recommend the three cup fish and the duck pancakes. SEATING: The restaurant isn't small, but it fills up quickly. We arrived at 600 PM, and the rush hit at about 630 PM. They don't take reservations for groups under 6, so come early or expect a wait. AMBIENCE: An upscale vibe. THINGS TO NOTE: --No reservations for groups smaller than 6. --When the rush hit, the service slowed down a bit. The servers were clearly super busy, so we weren't bothered by it, but that's something to keep in mind if you have somewhere to be after dinner. read more

A couple of workmates and I did the "unthinkable" today: we went out for lunch. It's not uncommon for us to work through lunch, grabbing some takeaway to consume while seated at our desks. But we overcame the "guilt", by associating the trip with a forthcoming work-related event. And our restaurant of choice was one of the hottest places in town right now: Mr Wong in Bridge Lane. When we arrived (without a reservation) just before Mr Wong opened at noon, we were told our party of three couldn't be seated until 3pm, unless we were happy to sit at the bar. Too easy. Within twenty minutes, the place was packed: a combination of retirees and office workers. We ordered a range of smallish meals to share, including some prawn dumplings, some dim sim, and some buns. All were really good, though you could argue you might find better elsewhere in Chinatown. That said, it's a really good space, the service was excellent, and it was a really great experience. The smallish meals were all in the range of $8-10, with the main meals priced between about $25 and $35. We'll definitely go back. My colleagues and I have also resolved to go out for lunch monthly, and have actually added this to Outlook, so it's definitely gonna happen more often. read more

If you want authentic Chinese cuisine Mr Wong is not the place to go. Rather, its appeal comes from a funky Chinese theme (some elements of 1920's-1930's style artwork, Chinese cooking utensils on the walls, etc) with jazz music in the background. Well-dressed staff give it an air of sophistication. But the food was very ho hum. We had the duck pancakes and the twice cooked beans. The pancake were doughy, the duck cut into chunks. The twice cooked beans were ok but not memorable. The steamed rice was well on the way to getting cold and dry. Refill our teapot? Clearly not a practice the staff are used to. Overall the decor and ambiance were good and it's different to either typical western or Chinese restaurants but the food doesn't match the price. read more

One of my favourite places to dine in Sydney. Service is spot on, great wine and cocktail list. If possible, ask to sit downstairs. The smaller room has much more ambience and privacy than upstairs, which can feel overwhelming and noisy. Try the xiao long bao, kung pao chicken, duck pancakes and SAVE ROOM for the deep fried icecream, you won't regret it! read more

Great ambience and food! We sat at the bar almost immediately at 9:45 on a Friday night. We ordered the dim sum, which was out of this world ! The half order of duck pancakes as well! Sweet and sour pork is also scrumptious! Cocktails were wonderful, though pricey. The only reason this is not a five star rating is the service was not very communicative. We were made to believe tea came with the dim sum, but found later we were charged for it. My husband ordered rice and the pork, after talked about the bugs. The bugs came out instead of the rice. We were full from dim sum and pancakes and the sweet and sour pork and the bugs was WAY TOO MUCH FOOD for two people. I wish our waiter would have told us how much food we were receiving. We ate one piece of our 42 AUS Dollar entree and threw the rest away. Go if you can, but really order one thing at a time. Make sure your waiter repeats the order back. Get the dim sum- pancakes are relish- and order as you go!!! read more

This is a very busy restaurant with fantastic food.  I recommend the dim sum dishes with various meats and vegetables - absolutely delicious.  Portions are good (even for hungry teenagers) and the delicious fried rice with crab will easily feed 3 or 4 people.  It's tough to get a decent time unless you book early (we ate at 5:30 because we were tardy in making the reservation). Great for groups and just couples.  Terrific atmosphere and great service. read more

Trendy as all heck, but food is not memorable. Definitely NOT worth the 2+ hours we waited. We put our name down and returned 2 hours later, only to have to wait another 45 minutes... And this is at like 10pm at night. Ridiculous. Service was horrible. It's just overpriced middle of the road Chinese food, nothing spectacular or worth mentioning... Skip this place. read more

We went to try the dim sum for lunch and were not disappointed. We had the BBQ pork steamed buns which had a great rich flavour and the drunken chicken was very satisfying in a steamed chicken Singapore style kind of way. We also tried 2 specials: fried Szechuan pork dumplings (hot and fiery) and salmon cheung fun (the most fusion of the dishes we tried). Overall it is clear that the standard of ingredients here is very high. Combined with great cooking and a buzzing atmosphere we'd recommend highly. read more

Over rated , cold food .Can't book for under 6 people but tables for 2 & 4 were unoccupied, so why do you have to share a communal table ?? The atmosphere is fantastic, and the service was good but I won't be going back . read more

Make a reservation! This one is packed even weekdays. Wonderful service and interesting cocktails. For a single or party of two ask for the kitchen bar. Wonderfully entertaining to see the staff in action. Duck is the thing to have here. If your alone go for the duck spring roll. read more

In a word? Sumptuous. The decor, the wait staff, other patrons and of course, the food were all ... Sumptuous. This is a place rich in textures, from the lighting to the vibe to the open kitchen to the hanging ducks waiting to be "pekinged" to the stunning restrooms. I went on a Saturday night for a dinner with "the girls". A lovely bottle of Tasmanian Pinot Gris and an assorted of steamed dumplings started us off. The wait staff were very good about pointing out the dumplings suitable for vegetarians and for people who don't eat pork. We followed this with a fried eggplant dish - the only dish that disappointed us. The Peking duck pancakes were stunning, as were the veggies and fried rice. A cake had been arranged with an associated patisserie, which was divine. This is a must for a special dinner in Sydney. read more

I had lunch at Mr Wong's yesterday. It was a great experience, the food was amazing, service was good.. You must try the peking duck and the signature fried rice if you are thinking of going there. The restaurant was very crowded for lunch service but we didnt wait much for our food to arrive. This is a cool restaurant yet efficient and fast service.. read more

See all

Wow Factor! This place is fantastic. Love, love, love the atmosphere. Steam punk industrial chic meets Shanghai Red's back alley hideaway. Fabulous. The food and service were both outstanding too. We started with the dim sum platter to share for two. They were happy to accomodate our request for no beef or pork and the selection was incredibly delicious. We could have gone home happy right then and there. But wait! There's more. We ordered the hot & sour soup just to check their take on it and we weren't disappointed. A rich, earthy flavor gave way to a spicy sweetness that was oh so satisfying. This is not your typical H&S soup from the corner Chinese take-out. We shared two more dishes; the four types of braised mushrooms stirfried with bamboo shoots and asparagus along with the stir fried rice vermicelli with prawns, calamari and chicken. Yum. Both dishes were delicately flavored and complimented each other perfectly. They were also a welcome change from the spicy soup. We couldn't eat another thing, we were just too full. I really wanted to try the mango pudding too! read more

This is by far the best Chinese food I've ever eaten. The ambience was perfect, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly. There was about a 2-hour wait for us so we decided to walk the city until it was time to eat. The restaurant doesn't take reservations so get there early and put your name on the list. The food comes out as it is being made and the platters are meant to share. This restaurant should be featured as an excursion on a cruise ship! Get the steamed Dim Sum, Kung Pao Chicken, beef cubes and a bottle of Australia Shiraz! You will have a perfect evening! read more

This place was recommended to me by some locals so I figured it would be good but I had no idea how good! Located in an alley way we arrived around 5:20 and found a line out the door. The place opens at 5:30 so be ready to wait if you don't have a reservation. We were seated promptly down stairs which was fine and reminded that they needed the table back by 6:45. This would be no problem. Our server was from Paris so she was a little stiff in the beginning but she warmed up to us and the service was fine. Every meal we had was truly awesome so my recommendation is order what you want, it will be great. We had some green beans, Dim Sum, fresh fish plus the beef. Mr. Wong's is not cheap so be prepared for $25+ per plate but the quality of food makes up for the price. Do yourself a favor and try it out. read more

Amazing! Pig ears for days, a must if you go! I have also never had better salt and pepper calamari! Great selection of wine, great location, great food, only downside is if you have under 6 people you cannot book, and have to wait at the door for a table. That said, its worth the wait, every dish we ordered was perfectly cooked, portions were great, we did not leave hungry. read more

Very innovative and still delicious take on yum Cha. Dim sum were all recognisable but filled with upscale ingredients like king crab and lobster. The crab dumpling in crab broth deserves a shout-out. Cocktails were amazingly fresh tasting too. Definitely want to come back for regular lunch and dinner! read more

Mr Wong - King crab dumpling in crab broth - Cantonese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

This is a very popular spot every night and you can expect to wait in line if you don't have a reservation. You can only make reservations for groups of six or more. The food was fresh and very flavorful. Portions are good to share. Ambience is nice. Bathrooms are somewhat authentic. The open kitchen also adds good atmosphere. We had the eggplant, beef cubes, Mr. Wong's fried rice, and deep-fried ice cream. All were fantastic. After dinner Head downstairs to Palmer and Co for a speakeasy cocktail. read more

Dim sum and the duck pancakes....unbeatable. Despite it being busy, we got a table so persevere as they have lots of tables constantly being turned over. It is tricky to find as it up a lane. Wine list reasonable and the staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Busy but worth it every time, if in Sidney give it a try. read more

This place is fantastic and a must when visiting the area. The staff is friendly and attentive.

The food and service at Mr Wong are wonderful. We liked dinner so much we made a return visit lunch a few days later. Matthew was our waiter both time and remembered us when we returned. He took great care of us! We had dumplings, honey chicken, Kung Pao chicken, fried rice with prawns and twice cooked green beans with pork. All wonderful. read more
