Absolutely delicious food !! My favourite is the soup dumplings (xiao lang bao) So delish

This is a Fancy Chinese place. This should be a 2.75 but they don't have that option on yelp. I dont understand how it got so many good reviews on Zomato( Their version of Yelp). I thought this place was way over hyped. I ordered the Peking Duck and Dim sum. Presentation was beautiful but it was just a little to gamey for me. The dim sum was pretty good, I actually enjoyed it. Imagine going to a Bar and ordering bar food. If you think of it like that, then you'll understand. The ambiance was awesome. They sat us at the bar downstairs at the basement/ cellar. If you live in California, this something new to you. The decor was great. The atmosphere was awesome, which is why i gave it more stars. Its in downtown, by the Sydney opera house, so it was a little to expensive for chinese food. Honestly, if you just want a instagram photo, or on a date, then come here to impress. There are so many other options to eat at rather than here. You would probably have better peking duck places in a Chinatown where you live. I love duck sooooo much, but I didnt even finish it here, and we only ordered a half order. No bueno! read more

Great service - guided us through the menu. The cocktails are equal to the best you're going to see in Sydney and the vibe is more cosy and energetic than manic. The glass display room on the way to the bathroom is worth a look. The meat was tender and I can still almost taste it a year later. Do yourself a favour! read more

We were delighted to have gotten there around 6 pm for what was going to be only 30-40 minute wait time. We ended up only waiting 5 minutes at the bar! We ordered the chef's fried dim sum with no pork. They were unique and delicious. We also had crab fried rice. The kids did not like all of the fried garlic on top. The kung pao Chicken was delicious but small, as was the vegetable noodles. For the price, I expected to be able to share the plates. Nonetheless, the ambiance and flavors were 5 star. read more

Where do I begin? Mr. Wong's was one of the best meals we have had in Sydney, however it is by no means, figure friendly. Our concierge recommended getting their by 5:30 pm, and cueing up before they opened the doors, as they only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. He said the wait would get as high as three hours and I didn't believe him, but as soon as we got there, I knew what he was talking about. Sure enough, there was a line outside before the doors opened and within 30 min of opening, the entire restaurant was packed. They were very accommodating as far as recommending foods to satisfy everyone's palate and they were able to create dishes for those with food allergies. The waitress started off great. She was very helpful when we were going over the menu, but once she took our order, she was never to be seen until we asked for the check. That is the only reason for the lack of 5 stars. Service seems to be lacking in Sydney, and no where near the level you would receive at any fine dining or even casual dining establishment in NYC, but the food and wine makes up for less than perfect service. On to the food.... We had the vegetarian salad, crispy eggplant, stir fried sweet corn with Tamari butter, vegetable fried rice, wok fried noodles with assorted mushrooms, the Kung Pao chicken, garlic butter prawns, a roasted duck special and a pork wonton appetizer, which might have also been a special. It was an insane amount of food, but everything was excellent. I don't think anyone had one thing they didn't enjoy. It's definitely worth checking out the restaurant, even if it means you go at 5:30, or deal with the excessive wait while grabbing a drink next store at Palmer & Co. read more

Favourite Merivale venue! Only issue is the menu is huge so it hard to order and everything is delicious

Written up in the New York Times and I can see why. Absolutely 5 stars on all counts. Decor, food, service. Lucy was a gem of a server. If your heart is set on it, make a reservation. We got last table on a run of a mill Thursday 12:30pm lunch! read more

I am only giving it a 4 for the food and yes it is delicious. Being a true Melbournian I struggle with mass dining in a nightclub atmosphere of a typical Hemmes family Merivale establishment. read more

Mr Wong - Mango pudding - Cantonese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

dim sum was so-so, but the crab fried rice, fried eggplant, and other dishes were amazing. Very unique food and worth the high price!

Can't overstate how great this place is. If you come to Sydney, you need to eat here. Everything is good. You can't go wrong. Just come. Side note: if you bring at least 4 people you can do the banquet option which is expensive but worth every penny. read more

This is an excellent restaurant and was one of our favourites during our trip to Sydney. We had a great time having cocktails at the bar with the informed bartender, and then during our dinner, in which every single thing we ordered (dumplings, rice, duck, greens) was just absolutely lovely and unique. I highly recommend this place if in Sydney. However, there is no real booking system for small groups I don't think, and the queues / wait times can get ridiculous really quickly so get in early! read more

Their food is amazing. If you are visiting Sydney you must come to Mr Wong. Is one of my fav restaurants here. Suggestions: try their dim sum to start and calamari. Also their fried rice and fish with chili n ginger sauce. The place is always full and has a long waiting list, so i. Suggest you make reservations. Is kind of hidden , but worth to try. read more

Cool atmosphere, great location. We shared the daily dumpling selection, the beef short rib and the king crab fried rice. Our only regret was we didn't come with more people to try more dishes! We also had drinks which were great, notable mention for their negroni. read more

Mixed dumplings were fantastic. Followed by the pork belly which is spicy, ridiculously rich - sensational. Groovy ambience and excellent food. Wish you could book. read more

When in Sydney, you must visit Mr. Wong. The restaurant is bit difficult to find but the search is well worth it. Each dish we tried was fantastic with the duck pancakes the most delicious item we ordered on the menu. This is certainly some of the best asian fusion food I have ever had! read more

High quality Chinese food in well organised place with good staff. It was expensive though for a dim sum menu. The interesting dim sum and the fresh vegetables made it justifiable. The styling is great but the toilets smell. read more

Food is great but the line up to get a table and the prices are a little over the top. But food is outstanding

Good food. Good service. Had dim sum and soup. Some lovely American girls next to me at the bar shared some of their eggplant with me. It was all very tasty. The place is huge and packs in a crowd. Has a bit of a Vegas/nightclub vibe. Not exactly my cup of tea. But I'd go back and eat more whenever I'm back in Sydney. Recommended. read more

Overrated. Disappointed. From the minute we checked in to our hotel we heard rave reviews. We arrived 15 min prior to opening and stood in line. Once seated we were informed our time was limited at the table. Service was slow and it was loud. One of the dishes we ordered was missing one of the key ingredients. We were charged $30 for 3 bottles of water and not told about the fee. Manager was not helpful. The food was just ok. read more

Incredible food with a lot of choice. I do not eat spicy foods and they were happy to accommodate - things like that really makes a great impression. Will be recommending to my nearest and dearest read more

Solid food, great atmosphere. Would be nice if they would include something along with the main. Ie. Rice. The dishes come out piping hot and ready to eat and are quite honestly fabulous. The only reason I do not give it five stars would be for the lack of the accompaniment. Fairly simple menu, not quite complicated and something I find freshening for a Chinese based restaurant. Not enough experience to comment on cocktails etc... but I do love the place hidden away in a gem of an alley way. I will go back again and obviously this time I have to have the duck. It looks wonderful and so appropriate for the establishment. read more

One word - sensational, fantastic dim sum and service to boot. It isn't cheap but you get what you pay for and if you are into wines they have 5000! Yes, 5000!! I would return here again if visiting Sydney, the vibe was great and staff who fully deserved to be recognised as the best in Sydney read more

This place is super good! Don't give up looking for the restaurant while you're wandering around the alley. It's well worth it. A must is the Peking duck and Mr. Wong's fried rice...great wine list, service, and ambiance!!! Here from LA and you have to try it when you're down under...cheers mate! read more

This is the Asian experience you dream of. Everything done to an exceptional standard, a wide variety of the familiar to off-the-beaten-track. Stellar wine list. Staff who really know their stuff and are the perfect balance of friendly and efficient. The best part is the late closing. Farewelling a friend in the city, he suddenly stops and says "Can we go to Mr Wong?" It's 10.30pm, surely not? But within 5 minutes of arrival they've laid a table for 8 and we are soon elbow deep in the best post-celebration dim sum you could imagine. read more

This is an excellent Asian restaurant with impeccable service and a lively atmosphere. The food is amazing. Ask your server for a recommendation. We did and we were not disappointed! read more

A little hard to find down a side alley but so worth the search! Great ambience and wonderful food with a huge selection. Service was just ok but when we lost a personal item they were very helpful and returned calls to assist in finding it. read more

Got a table for lunch and it didn't disappoint! The prawn wanton soup was incredible. Had a selection of dumplings, spring rolls and pork buns. All were delicious! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended. read more

Just had lunch at Mr. wings and can't say I've had such good food since my dad was around. Ordered a few dim sum dishes: mushroom dumplings, prawn and scallop shumai, BBQ buns and pork and prawn shumai. Couldn't resist ordering a small order of Mr. Wong's fried rice-I can't actually move right now since we finished every bit of food. The only thing moving is my finger LOL. But seriously, if you are in Sydney, please stop by you won't regret it. read more

Hostess was professional and helpful with table, bartender gave good recommendations and poured some nice cocktails, server was average but food was amazing, had the Peking duck, fried rice, tofu, prawn soup and all was outstanding. read more

Everything I ate was great! Looking forward to my next dining experience at Mr. Wong. read more

Definitely have the dim sum sampler. Hard to order a variety for just 2 people. Waiter recommended angus beef cubes (too salty) and fried rice (nothing special). The dim sum was special. Wanted to try the duck, but it was too much food for just 2. If you're from LA, where real Chinese food is abundant, you won't be wowed here. Service was very attentive. read more

Yum! Delicious! Amazing! There is probably nothing you could order here that wouldn't be amazing. Despite the word "bugs," I decided to order these lobsters and I was so glad I did! Delectable in every way... I will be telling my friends about this lovely gem in Sydney! read more

For Chinese, its really a shame, sorry to say so. Fine dishes should have a balanced taste, but the dim sum is toooooo salty. Maybe just because there few Chinese fine dinner. The restaurant is crowded and noisy, should almost yell to each other for talking...Terrible experience for couple like us. read more

Stop what you are doing. This place is amazing! Food, service, staff.... Top shelf. Thanks Mr Wong read more

In my view it is very difficult to do chinese fine dining well...or perhaps it isn't difficult...it is just that so few make the effort. Well I can happily say that Mr. Wong's is one of the greatest examples of how when chinese is done well it takes the cuisine to a whole new level. While the no booking and long waits can be a turn off, it does show how incredibly popular this place is. Everything we ate was devine, from the starter dumplings to the duck pancakes to the kung pow chicken...I am getting hungry just thinking about it. When combined with a magnificent dining space that captures the heritage of the area with a modern warehouse look and service that was exceptional while still being friendly and fun, you have an outstanding cantonese restaurant. A must visit in Sydney. read more

Love this place!! Situated in the back alley, this place is truly a hidden gem! It's oriental and rustic decor really creates warm and intimate vibes. Extremely professional waitstaff and food is seriously top tier standard! read more

I knew I'd love this place. I remember the old American Express ad - "Mr Wong, Mr Wong !! " I recall someone translated the chinese speaking part of that ad and revealed the hero had been asked did she "want to buy a water duck" Take the glug out of Chinese food, remove the red velvet wallpaper with the golden dragon motif, use waiters who smile and who refer to scallop dumplings as "these little fellas", and put the whole shebang in a Dickensian laneway in a space that is simply amazing. Others have tried to describe it by calling it a Shanghai Tea House but I've never been in one of those (except the old Peking Inn in Lindfield) so I'll just admit that I can't see anyway it could be better. Gordo (not his real name) Keeno (not her real name) and me (not my real name) went today. Gordo immediately ran into a waitress who knows him and instantly everything is sorted. No need to order, just sit back and relax. Lucky I know, especially as our orders got mixed up with another group at our communal table. Twice. The food is fantastic. It is so much better than than the usual Yum Cha food, more delicate, fresher, and more flavoursome, less clag, lighter. I just don't get why people whinge about paying a little more than say Marigold (which I absolutely love) when its obvious that this place is in a different universe. We ate a lot of food, Gordo had a beer, all up $80 for three. What is the problem? May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits of those people who review this place without acknowledging it is not standard. Its special. As Mr Wong would say "They've got an office right here mate! " read more

Love this place!!! Brilliant food, amazing decor and black tie staff. We went hit lunch, it was full when we arrived but they text you when a table is ready for you. The prawn wanton soup was incredible! read more

What a wonderful restaurant. Our service was excellent, the food superb. I would go back weekly if I lived in Australia.

This is definitely one of my absolute favorite restaurants I have ever been to. Even though this restaurant is better for kids 8+, EVERYTHING was AMAZING. The dim sum, the bao buns, the duck, and the miso soup, but these are only a few of the beyond incredible dishes we ordered. The atmosphere was really cool. Spacious and inviting. The service at Mr Wong was really good. I would definitely recommend Mr Wong to anybody. read more
