Mr. Wong in Sydney

The restaurant was so accommodating we celebrated our daughters 21st, there were 10 of us we had fantastic table. The service was top notch the food of course was delicious there was not one dish that we didn t like. Thank you

Over priced and underwhelming. Do your self a favour go to any restaurant in Chinatown.

Typical of Sydney Chinese restaurant Caotai team~

A Chinese restaurant with a Western atmosphere. Noisy but good atmosphere

Nice food.

The best presentation skills of Cantonese did that Ive seen. Flavor was nice as well.

Get the Steak Cubes with a side of rice! Say downstairs the vibe was unreal.

Absolutely delicious food. Staff are warm & friendly. Not cheap but totally worth it

One positive is that we made a booking quite last minute, This was our 3rd visit to Mr Wongs, previously we had very good 4/5 star experiences but on this occasion, which happened to be my birthday, we had a late booking and I felt there was less care in the service, the food not as good as it was on our previous 2 visits, we didnt order as much food or drink as previously because it was quite late, still pretty pricey as expected. Though there were some friendly, welcoming staff, It seemed some were just standing and waiting for the restaurant to empty for close. Also we were served a large special fried rice, when we had actually only ordered a small, the mistake was acknowledged on arrival of the food and we were told that we would be charged only for the small serve, when we mentioned this later, while paying our bill we were told that we were charged only for the small serve but discovered from review of the menu that we had been charged for the large. Also, though the flavours were nice, the duck for the duck pancakes was cut too large for the delicate pancake, quite difficult to eat with any ease, and took the joy out of the experience sadly.

A lump of seasoning. Excessive use of sugar, salt, and low-quality oyster sauce. It tastes worse and cheaper than instant dumplings. The food is not worth it. Its a waste of ingredients such as shrimp and scallops. The taste makes you wonder who the chef is. Avoid it. Vegetarian options: I guess youre asking if there are any vegan options... There are a few types, but there are. However, it is extremely salty and sweet and is not healthy. Dietary restrictions: Dislikes overly salty, sweet, and fatty foods. Kid-friendliness: Do you accept infants? Even if admission is allowed, the interior is too noisy and the food is high in sodium, so it would be harmful, right? Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is a staircase, so it appears wheelchair access is not possible.

Very amazed with this place, nice atmosphere and great food. The staff are very attentive and looked very well after me. Thank you for the service:)

What a beautiful place to be and celebrate special moment with loved ones! Food was absolutely delightful and delicious, highly recommend the steamed dimsum platter, and fried rice! Peking duck was also delicious! We ve got served by waiter named Jun who had exceptional customer service and very friendly. He asked what the occasion was so I mentioned it was for mum s bday and when we ordered fried ice cream for dessert, he has organised a lettering service with korean pronounce knowing that we are korean! We were very touched with attention to detail by Jun and all other servers! I would definitely comeback for yumcha lunch as the atmosphere, service and foods were all amazing!

Delicious food, great service in a cool industrial space!

Amazing food !! Worth every penny !!! Specially there Mabo tofu !! Excellent

We had a Christmas lunch here and it was amazing! Everyone loved the food. Service was great and atmosphere is nice. We shared the banquet menu and they made it suitable for two of us with gluten free diet. The pavlova dessert was perfect ending for the dining.

Mr Wong is an amazing restaurant!! The food and wine selections are delicious with a wide variety of options to suit everyone. All the staff are wonderful especially Andrew is always professional and provide outstanding customer service. The ambience is great!! Thanks for always exceeding my expectations dynamic Mr Wong team. See you soon.

Been here a couple times before but my I was let down by the customer service my most recent visit. The staff member I had asked first for my drink didn t know what I was talking about. Luckily they did someone else more experienced over, I just found that surprising given this place is a high end restaurant.

The atmosphere and service were impeccable. The food is generally salty.

Due to good timing during dinner time, I didnt have to wait and was seated right away. The food took a while, but it was plentiful and the atmosphere was nice. Everyone eats duck pancakes, but Chinese duck is also good. Fried rice is salty. Dim sum is delicious

Amazing food and drink options. Love eating here.

This is a low 4. While the food is a solid 5 in terms of quantity and taste, the atmosphere and service bring the total experience down. The biggest disappointment was the timing of the food. My wife recieved her main dish 10min before mine. Unacceptable at this price point and from a restaurant of this stature. Furthermore, be aware this restaurant seats 200+ people, the tables are very close, and the service team is spread thin. It s very loud, and it feels like you are eating at a night club. Overall, I m glad we went but we won t go back.

Thanks to Jun who take care of our table. He was so lovely Food

Special shout out to Jun for making our evening incredibly memorable!

We had a lovely dinner served by jun. the food was amazing, jun service was above and beyond, the food portions was generous. Overall 10/10. Highly recommend!

Mr. Wong is just okay. The ambiance is loud, the service is polite but inattentive, and the food is hit-or-miss. While the duck was flavorful, most dishes lacked the freshness and balance I expected. For the price, the quality doesn t quite deliver. It s fine if you re in a pinch, but there are better options out there.

Wow! What can I say, but the staff, the meal, the atmosphere were all sublime. Is it a little pricey? Yes. BUT you get what you pay for and the experience was superb. The staff were happy to pass on recommendations, always courteous and polite, didnt have to wait long for attention and made the visit very comfortable. The food was to die for. I wont list everything but the steamed dimsum, the spicy chicken and Peking duck were literally perfect. Kudos to the staff and the team and if you want to try Mr. Wong, make sure you can afford it and enjoy a world class succulent Chinese meal.

We had the best time at Mr Wong. Thank you Caroline for making this moment perfect.

3 items from the menu that will blow your mind: 1. Steamed Dim Sum 2. Crispy fried Balmain Bugs with spicy salt 3. Twice cooked green beans with pork mince & XO sauce + my new favourite white wine - cloudy bay. This was the perfect amount of food between 2 people. I m still salivating weeks later!

This place is so overrated, ordered quite a few dishes and none of them were above average. The place is so busy and the waitresses are running around frantically to serve everyone and could not attend to the tables easily. To top it off, when I asked the waitress if the chefs boil their lobsters/crabs alive-she responded that they most likely do. Such a cruel and barbaric practice to turn us off this place even more. If you like quality food-don t come here.

Simply fantastic. Food was amazing, and service from Giovanni particularly was flawless. We d come back for the pork belly and if Giovanni served us again!

We have been here before and food was sublime but on this occasion it was a flop, the pork belly was just a slab of fat, the Mr Wong fried rice was floating in oil, just disappointing lunch overall

Fancy Chinese dim sum restaurant with nice settings but slightly cramped seats. The dishes are nicely done but slightly pricey

Oriental fusion food is very innovative, producing new flavors and textures that we dont find in oriental food in general. The taste is delicious, really like the atmosphere and vibes, the interior is suitable for those of you who want to spend dinner while chatting casually. The Peking duck is recommended

Awesome place once I found it had the banquet and some fabulous standouts were the honey king prawn and the toothfish in miso, they were sooooo good. Prefer to see Aussie fish though. Not a fan of crab alot of effort for little return I think, just my opinion though. Excellent service and the interior was fabulous! Id probably not go back but Im certainly glad I went so thank you for the experience

The food, service and atmosphere was amazing but it s the small gestures that make the experiences most memorable. The restaurant knew it was our anniversary and wrote a message on our dessert. This level of service made us feel so welcome. Thank you so much to the team

First visit with family and we all had a great time. Starting with some tasty cocktails and beers. Entrees were fresh and yummy. We had the eggplants, kingfish , and white spicy chicken. All were served cold and were delicious. For mains we tried chilly lamb , steamed dim sum platter and green beans with pork. All the dishes were great.

I had an amazing dining experience at Mr. Wong, and I couldn t give it anything less than 5 stars! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a night out. The food was simply incredible each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The dumplings were a standout, and the service was attentive and friendly. I left feeling satisfied and excited to come back. Highly recommend Mr. Wong for anyone looking for delicious Chinese cuisine in Sydney!

An excellent dining experience for lunch today! A truly exceptional wine list, which reads more like a novel. And outstanding service from our sommelier. We had many dim sum dishes, the platter of steamed dim sum, duck pancakes, Hong Kong noodles, pork belly, and steamed vegetables. We also had lots of dessert! The mango pudding was very popular at our table. The send out dish of the day was the Hong Kong noodles which was recommended by the team. We also ordered chicken that had exceptional crispiness!

Been in this place so many times and its over priced and the service is not that good I only go back because my friend think its a good place but its not

Eating Chinese food in Sydney? You ll be pleasantly surprised at Mr. Wong! The dim sum platters are exceptional each piece is expertly crafted with delicate flavours and textures that truly stand out. From the perfectly steamed dumplings to the crispy, golden treats, every bite is a taste of perfection. The ambiance is chic and lively, and the attentive service adds to the whole experience. If youre a dim sum lover, this place is a must-visit!

Wonderful meal for 4 of us. Wonderful waiters, very helpful with wine suggestions and food pairing even with food combinations. They know the menu and flavours well. Great atmosphere in the downstairs area. A really enjoyable eperience Parking: Crispy fried eggplant with fish sauce (pictured) was a standout dish

I ve eaten at a fair few Merivale restaurants now and this one lacked. the crab was 210 dollars a kilo and it was so hard to get out of the shell, very very over cooked! Almost Like it was pre cooked and then covered in sauce. Little disappointed as Mimi s and Bert s weren t like that at all. For the money you expect a little better. The service wasn t great either forgotten drink, forgot to bring steamed rice to the table. Again disappointing as their other venues are usually always great.

Go to the walk-in around 8 oclock, put up a waiting list, and check in at 9 oclock. All the staff in charge were very friendly. Google says it closes at 22:00, but the kitchen closes at 22:00! A lot of people came even after 9 oclock. Dim sum plate, shrimp wonton, fried eggplant Dim sum - moist and delicious!!! Seasoning is appropriate. Shrimp Wonton - Its not big and feels like a soup bowl for one person. The broth is rich and the shrimp wontons are delicious, but the broth has a strong shrimp broth flavor so it can feel like a foul smell. The soup is salty. Fried eggplant - crispy on the outside, soft as butter on the inside, more portion than expected, sprinkled with cilantro and seasoned just right! It feels greasy when you eat it, but it is delicious.

Food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. We ordered the dim sum, full duck, beef noodle and kung pao chicken dish and all were so delicious. Will be coming back here

Our favorite chinese restaurant at Sydney CBD.

A decent Chinese restaurant.

I have been fortunate to eat and Mr Wong a few times, although not since pre-covid, so was quite pleased to head back with colleagues during a conference stay in the CBD. We agreed to order a dish each to share. Im unsure if theres a better way to go about things at Mr Wong as youll likely want to eat quite a few dishes particularly if you dont want to stretch to the banquet. We started with Duck Pancakes. I always have high expectations for duck as its not always cooked to my preference. Mr Wongs duck is perfection! Not too fatty. Succulent. Delicious. I could just fill up on the pancakes! We then shared kung pao chicken and sweet/sour pork. Im not a huge fan of chilli, so I tasted a small serve of the kung pao chicken which was okay. The pork was sensational! Being a hatted restaurant, the s/s pork does not look like what you probably order from your local Chinese take away. Nor does it taste the same. I can confidently say, for the record, that it is the BEST pork Ive had. I was delicious. Id go back just for that, We ate all of this with special fried rice - and surprisingly made do with just a small serve. I was happy to order a mocktail - some lychee concoction which was sweet but refreshing. My only qualm - the ambience is really dark. I had trouble reading the menu!

Absolutely amazing food. Couldnt fault any of the (many) dishes we ordered. We ate and drank big and were surprised at how reasonable the bill was for 6 people.

Great food and atmosphere, maybe some dishes are a little overpriced but overall great experience

Without a doubt the best Cantonese/ Chinese food place I have ever been to anywhere in the world!!

Salad and wonton soup too salty

We had the banquet and everything was exceptional! The prawns burst in your Mouth with flavour. Expensive but great for a treat. Food

Good food

A friend and I visited this restaurant and enjoyed the food. We had the $118 (per person) Banquet + was left full, content + leftovers. Generous portions + flavoursome. Unfortunately, the service itself was incredibly disappointing. Despite organising the night myself, staff did not acknowledge me (only my friend) the whole night minus ordering our meal at the beginning. I am disabled but surely that couldn t be the reason The banquet was extensive and empty plates were left on the table while new plates were brought out + placed on the edges of the table (for us to try to manouvre the plate placement so nothing spilled or fell). We had to ask for the empty plates to be removed. One attendant was continually touching his hair as it was falling into his face whilst distributing food. At the end of the night when my friend + I split the bill evenly, this same attendant laughed in my face when I asked why the bill wasn t split evenly when it was my turn to pay (I was second). I believe he thought I was joking or didn t understand + only responded with I don t know between laughs. I was left speechless. When coming to a beautiful, quality restaurant like Mr Wong (the fit out is stunning) it s only natural to expect a quality experience. Again, the food was great + for that aspect alone I recommend. However, I couldn t believe how collectively the staff seemed unprofessional, offensive + oblivious. I hope they can work on that aspect as the food is worth going for.

Awesome experience as a first time visitor.

If you love a higher end restaurant, then this place is a must-do in Sydney. Its busy, so book ahead. Highly recommend.

Crispy eggplant is so good, highly recommended. Always and still excellent customer service,outstanding!!!

Following last year, I went on a trip again this year, and this is the place I visited without hesitation! I have never forgotten the taste of fried eggplant, and the dim sum is also great. And compared to last year, the service and friendliness have improved ^^

Successful formula. Food quite good. Service excellent. Downstairs a bit of a bummer.

Worst experience ever. Arrived early for our booking. Loads of tables available. We were told to go to bar and wait! We waited and waited . Finally we asked to be seated and then and then .. we waited and waited . Finally we asked to be released from the agony. Overrated establishment and I certainly would avoid. Didnhsvd a meal as Zi walked away

Its a beautiful space and a busy, buzzing vibe. The food is good. We had the $140 per person set menu which should have been great but the kitchens dont coordinate the orders, so all the food comes out at the same time and you are forced to eat it all before it gets cold. We were in and out in an hour! Its a real shame because this should have been an epic experience but it felt like a churn and burn. This style of service is OK if you are paying fast food prices but not when you are paying a premium. Sadly probably would not go back again. Value for money 1 star.

Mr Wong has been a favourite of mine for years. Last time I went, same great atmosphere and service but I had some very average oysters that gave me a serious bout of food poisoning. Very disappointing.

Dim sum is absolutely delicious! Even though I ate it at a famous Chinese restaurant in Korea, it tasted better here. The garlic rice isnt bad, but it has a seafood flavor, so if you dont like the smell of seafood at all, its probably better not to eat it. Please keep in mind that the eggplant fries are slightly sour, almost like yusanseul. Still, I enjoyed it. But I dont know if its just a coincidence or a coincidence, but why do they only show Asian people to the inner corner? I suddenly felt it and looked around on my way out, but there were only Asians in the corner. I hope it was a coincidence ^^; And there were so many people that it was noisy, so it was hard to hear what the other person was saying.

Definitely make a reservation!

Overall, just a disappointment Food 4 stars (the taste has to be a little better for this price level) and location itself 5 stars but the volume is almost at the level of a disco and there is also quite loud rock and roll music, unbelievable. Far too many small (bistro) tables, placed so closely that the waiters almost cant put the dishes down or constantly bump into the chair when they walk past. Service lousy: table wasnt ready despite reservation (not possible at the price level), you wait at the side in the hectic coming and going, no apology at the door. Hardly any advice when ordering, it seems to be primarily about maximizing the waste. Main course was served even though we hadnt eaten the soups yet. Side dish only after the main course with the reason that the (bistro) table was too small...... Maybe okay for a younger audience, but for people who want to spend a stylish, cozy evening, we strongly advise against it!!! Its a shame and it was completely different about 10 years ago

20 minutes despite reservation. Waited until you were mercifully allowed to come to the table... although many tables were free and remained free!!!! The food was served incomplete. Service like in a student dorm, no plan when asked about the menu. The duck was very good, the side dishes were more than poor. The gastronomy is beautifully designed, but the atmosphere is a disaster!!! The loudspeakers are booming: Elvis Presly!!!! Added to this is the babble of voices from the guests, who have to talk to each other loudly in order to be able to have a conversation at the table Its extremely loud!!!! STRESSFUL! Not recommended, even if the duck is good. Other Asians in Sydney can do this too The price-performance ratio is far from right. Completely overpriced, almost ridiculous! The service was terrible from start to finish. Student level! Never again!

Typing this as I go while dining at Mr. Wong. I made the big mistake of showing up by myself, Chinese restaurants are not meant to be for solo dinners... However I heard great things from this place and had to try it while visiting Sydney. To my luck I was greeted by a really good hostess (I work in the industry and I can appreciate a good hosting job) and was advised on how to work around the menu in order to better experience it. That interaction alone started off the night on the right track! Then I was sat at the bar, I get it, Im a solo diner, no problem. It was a bustling Saturday night service, the kitchen was in the weeds swamped in tickets giving me a whole show, but then I realized that it had been almost 15 minutes and not single one of the suited servers that were talking to each other noticed I was waiting for them (how the tables have turned) finally one noticed and approached me, with the same friendliness and openness as the hostesses. Now I wait for my reduced sized portions to arrive while enjoying the show from the swinging woks and the voicing from the expo calling out the tickets. I also noticed that they probably need more bussers, a lot of dirty tables and floors around, which I dont think is quite good for a restaurant on this level but thats another story. The food arrives! Aaaand the order is Mr. wRong. I send it back and then I waited for someone to come back and reassure me that itll be fixed for a bit and a couple minutes later I was finally able to start tasting whats this place all about. Holy crab! The fried rice was spectacular, so good that I just went through it forgetting that I have limited space in my stomach and it was already limited due to the Kung Pao Chicken that made it to my table before the rice that was pretty good as well. Halfway through my dinner a suited gentleman greeted me and gave me that warm Aussie friendliness that I love so much and even more in a hospitality setting, made things better, again. Overall it was an amazing meal, a kitchen shows its true colors when its the busiest and they didnt disappoint! However, as far as service goes, protocol was out of tune (dirty tables, long wait times to be served, wait staff non-present in general and dirty restrooms) aside from the protocol, the genuine hospitality was there. A couple more hands and a more focused front of the house staff would make this experience way better.

The worst experience ever. Called these guys to make a booking for a Friday night and were told that walk ins are welcome. Came at 8pm were told to wait at the bar and the next table was available at 9pm, waited at the bar for 1 hour and 30 min only to be told that a table at the bar is all they had, or we could wait for a table in 45 minutes. We asked them why wouldn t they tell us this at the beginning , the manager then proceeded to find a solution let me send you some dumplings your way while you wait we thought he meant complimentary to make up for the wait , so we stayed , we ordered more food but when the bill came they ended up charging us for the dumplings, and refused to take it off the bill.

The next time I m in town I will be making it my mission to try everything on the menu. From the fish to the soup, everything was delicious.

Steamed dimsum was a great appetizer to share. Really enjoyed the lamb ribs. Service was friendly and efficient. Made a mistake with the order but corrected it quickly and effectively. A little annoyed with the 100 per person cancellation fee. Like Im fine with it on principle but higher end restaurants have asked for significantly less. Pretty decor.

AMAZING WOW WOW I love this place

Below average food and overpriced.

Good Chinese food for late night. Fresh material. King prawns are big and fresh, also scallops ,good dumplings as well.

Nice

The food was delicious. Large service sizes. Upmarket restaurant. Large selection of drinks available. Be prepared to wait for a table during peak periods..... Worth the wait. Food : 4/5

The ambiance was pleasant, but I found the ordering process to be quite confusing. The menu offered a variety of portion sizes, which made it a bit overwhelming for me. Overall, the prices were on the higher side, but the service was excellent.

Worst service I ve encountered in a long time. If you re wanting to be ignored for 30 minutes before having your drinks order taken then this is the place for you.

Some of the worst service I have ever experienced. Despite having a booking and having noted it was our anniversary, our table was not ready. After waiting 10 minutes we were shoved into a table near the entrance, we asked to move. After eventually being seated, the manager did not apologise, instead tried to upsell us to a margarita. When we said we would like to look at the menu, no one returned to take our drinks order for more than 20 minutes. Some of our food never arrived. Truly an atrocious experience, am so upset that our anniversary was tainted by this.

We ordered the banquet set menu which was absolutely delicious. All the food was cooked perfectly and the amount of food you get was insane for the price you pay. We left feeling stuffed The only issue we had was that sometimes there would be massive wait times between each dish coming out from the set menu. Also, when we were seated we were asked if we wanted sparkling or still water. We said we wanted still. We didn t realise this meant we would get a $14 charge at the end of dinner for a bottle of water. I feel like this should ve been mentioned at the start before we ordered the still water.

Fantastic food and fantastic service. Finally got the chance to dine in at Mr Wong s and it did not disappoint. Their selection of dumplings and dim sims is an absolute treat definitely a must try. Highlights for me was the lobster, beautifully cooked and the e-fu noodles accompanied it well with their xo sauce. Will definitely be coming back to try the other menu items.

Delicious food but noisy and crowded. Husband had to pull his chair in to allow the waitress to serve the next table, every time a meal arrived.

Terrible service. Took 30 minutes for anyone to take our order for a drink or food - and only after we asked 3 people if we could order. Cleared away our food before we were finished and despite booking in advance, the table wasn t ready when we arrived. Food was alright. Too big a space with too many tables for it to feel atmospheric - just felt crowded and commercial.

Dimsim in next level

Koshi and Carolina were amazing at giving us recommendations, these two deserve a raise!!

Rare encounter: Shock! Unbelievable Ate: Spicy spicy soup, sweet and salty! ! I love you: only Uncle Cheng likes it farewell Come on~~~ my compatriots, believe in me Cantonese dim sum is edible and tastes good Fried rice noodles are also normal Grilled Sweet Eggplant The clerk said that for authentic Chinese food, you still have to go to Chinatown.

Terrible service. Fried rice came well before all the other items and it was cold.

Xiao Long Bao was the best. Shui mai and duck pancakes were quite good. Mud crab was the worst. It was undercooked, meats was stuck on the shell, hard to seperate. The claws werent cracked before service, and the noodles were stuck together.

Mr. Wong did not disappoint. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, service, and phenomenal food and drinks.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this restaurant, I highly recommend it! The food is really excellent, and the service is impeccable. The location is truly unique and very charming.

Great Asian restaurant!!! Its worth trying!!

Went to Mr Wongs on a recommendation from a friend. From the moment you walk in the door, the staff are so welcoming. The food and service is next level amazing. Well worth dining here. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back next time we visit Sydney. Food

Mr Wongs was recommended by a friend and I would definitely recommend to others. Didnt have a booking and was seated at the bar, not ideal but good fun. Had the banquet and was very satisfied. Food : 4/5

My partner and I flew up to Sydney from Melbourne for a few days, I made a reservation for his birthday here, hoping it would be a highlight of our trip and was super dissapointed by our experience. We literally had to hail down a waiter so we could ask for water & order our food even though I specified which banquet I was after in our reservation notes. The waiter was not discreet about pricing. We ordered the banquet and were served by so many different waiters. This would be fine if there werent communication problems within FOH, and between FOH & BOH - unsure if its a management problem. We received the dishes out of order and they actually forgot one of our courses and I had to ask whether it had been taken off the menu, it hadnt - they just forgot. And then 2 of the same dish they forgot came out - after dessert? The staff were friendly but our expectations were not met. This place is fine to dine casually at, but not for a special occassion which is surprising considering we sank a couple hundred dollars here. The food was nothing to call home about - fusiony/inauthentic, forgettable food. Im honestly writing this review more than 4 months after we dined here because thats how terrible of an impression it made on me. Will have to make it up to my partner next year.

The basement smell damp, specialy in stairs area but the food just outstanding , must visit

The food is nice Service is average, waiting for long time at the front door. Not why they have to wear backless dress Food : 4/5

Mr Wong - Palmer & Co. I get it! I m the duck Checking the bill: dinner for two, sitting at the bar, two cocktails. The bartender slides over the card machine, asking for a tip. I give him a 5% tip because I feel like I m supposed to, though maybe it s too low . I don t know . I m Italian . I m not used to paying for something twice. Anyway, who and what am I tipping for? Is it for the whole staff because of the service? We arrive at 8 p.m., two people, no reservation. You tell us to come back in an hour and a half. So we go next door to Palmer & Co. for a drink. Two cocktails at the bar, no seats, no food included. The bartender slides the card machine, showing the tip options. I give him a 5% tip while wondering why they don t just raise the prices on the cocktail menu, and then I remind myself that they re already pretty expensive . I order a New York-style hot dog, cold bread . Lucky me, this time the waitress doesn t ask for a tip, which might have actually been deserved since she brought the food to me. - Am I getting used to this, tipping someone just for doing their job? - Finally, a text message arrives - our table is ready. Technically, it s not a table; it s a spot at the kitchen bar, right by the show cooking , with all the smells . Wait, no, the floor manager decides to upgrade us to a better spot, downstairs at the bar. But this still isn t a table-it s a bar seat, with a view of the bartenders doing their thing . The A/C is blasting behind us , and they re pouring us San Pellegrino (zip code 24016, BG, Italy) sparkling water in Sydney just because we re Italian. - I do love sparkling water, but it doesn t make sense to me to pay $18 for it. Ever heard of sparkling water makers? - I think we ordered too much: one plate of dim sum (eight pieces) and two noodle dishes (and they don t serve small portions of noodles). Maybe the bartender, who also took our order, could have anticipated this when we said we were medium hungry. As far as I understand, Merivale is a company with properties in entertainment and hospitality that owns both Mr. Wong and Palmer & Co. I discovered they re actually connected by a door downstairs. It felt like I was part of a well-organized assembly line. The quality of the food and drinks was good, and the meals were well-cooked. The ventilation downstairs was decent too. Overall, my experience at Mr. Wong and Palmer & Co felt like one of those well-run, mid-sized tourist tours I ve sometimes attended during my journey across Australia a really beautiful and charming country, populated by welcoming, kind and hospitable people - But I won t be back, and I wouldn t recommend it.

Sydney institution for a reason. Great spread and lengthy beverage list filled with a killer selection of cocktails, wines and spirits. Vibey and cool with a great atmosphere.

Great food and service!

Food is that good!

Absolutely wonderful dinner. Shoutout to our waiter, Evee, who made it a memorable experience!

The food was good. The building is hidden location. The restaurant sign is to small. The service was good. 1 of out friends ordered bottle of wine $84, the staff poured in his glass once then put the bottle back in the bar. He did not leave wine bottle at our table. My friend has to ask him when his glass empty, then he pour wine second time. There are still 1/3 of bottle of wine left. The waiter did not return the bottle to us, he put it back to the bar. At the end of the night, that waiter left before we left. And we ask for our bottle, all other staff did not know and could not find our bottle located anywhere. Recommendation for your Dinning when you order your wine, you should ask the staff left bottle at your table

Update 13/10/2024 3 out of the 6 dishes were too salty with one of them essentially inedible. Really disappointed this time. Delicious foood in a buzzing setting. Amazing service and really delicious complimentary dessert because it was my birthday.

What a gem of a spot! Had the steamed chefs selection of dim sum and it was excellent!! Jasmine tea was tasty and service was quick!

If you read Xiaohongshu and want to come and eat, stay here. First of all, don t order Peking duck. There s nothing wrong with the sauce, but the dough is so thick that I choked on my neck after one bite. The duck was all meat without a few pieces of delicious skin. It was so unpalatable that I still remember it. . The beef tartare with fried dough sticks in the picture also tastes average, the fried dough sticks are quite crispy. The barbecued pork is so fishy, dont order it as it looks like a wild boar is running around in your mouth. The stir-fried vegetables are delicious, the fish and oysters are okay, and the blue cocktail is just okay. Everything else was of no avail, the food was not worth the price, and the environment was noisy. The waiters probably didn t have their own tables. It took me a long time to wait for someone, and it took a long time to get a bowl. I said I forgot about the last one, and it took me two to pay. We came a second time, and the only thing worthy of praise is that we were seated very quickly, but we had reserved a seat, and it was normal for us to be seated when we arrived. If you just want to check in and take a photo, you can give it a try. If you just want to come here for the delicious food, think twice.

Best Chinese Cuisine restaurant in town. A bit pricy but worth it. Need to reserve a table in advance. Walk in guest take about 45mns to an hour

My girlfriends and I dined at Mr Wong for a late lunch. We were immediately welcomed by friendly staff and their hospitality was just outstanding! As soon as you walked in, the vibe was great though I recommend having more lighting inside. It was a wee bit dark and I had to use my phone torch to look at the menu. Our drinks didnt take too long to arrive and our entrees were served immediately after. The kingfish and mixed steamed dumplings were superb! We had fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, steamed greens and fried chicken and cannot fault anything! All tasted delicious and the flavours were astounding! On the pricey side and we ended up paying about $110 each (4 diners) including 4 cocktails which isnt too bad if paying individually. Though as a family and for that amount of $$ you could easily spend far less with more food (including seafood such as lobster) at another Chinese restaurant in the suburbs like Burwood, Cabramatta, Ashfield... We had one of the best experiences at Mr Wong - the food, atmosphere and the service was top notch. Cant fault it!

Has dropped significantly in quality over the past 5 years. Food was forgettable and way overpriced. The pork buns and sampling of different dumplings were nothing special. The crab noodles were terrible - just a plate of tasteless noodles. The half peking duck was nice but again nothing that you can t get from many other restaurants at ½ the price. $36 for a small plate of broccolini is extortionate. This place definitely no longer deserves the hype. Save your money and go else where for the same - if not better - quality.

The food was delicious, but the service we received from Juan was 11/10. It made the experience. He was so attentive and went above and beyond throughout our entire meal. The best service I have received in Sydney!!

Ill give this restaurant a bad review because I made a reservation for the Tuesday 10 of September 2024, the front desk lady, even though i told them i had a reservation, never asked for my email or name or anything at all and I got charged 200$ for a no show up fee, after calling multiple times to Merivale , and 45 days later, they refunded me the money with absolutely no compensation. Completely disaster.

I enjoyed the best Chinese food here

Eaten dinner here about 4 times now and every time is an amazing dining experience. Took my family here last night for my birthday and we all thought every single dish tasted exceptional!! I m still dreaming about those dim sum platters and mango pudding!!!

Noisy but definitely mordent. Top quality Chinese food for international palate. Dim sum a bit over priced. Other dishes are good and relatively reasonable.

The taste it s more like a fusion western-asian food. I think the food is overpriced. I recommend you to try Steamed Dim Sum Platter . The staff mostly western people, the don t speak chinese. The ambience was great but it s too dim, need extra focus to read the menu.

Mr. Wong is one of the best restos Ive been to. absolutely love the dimsum platter esp. the lobster also had the char siu pork and the glacier toothfish which are both must tries. As for the drinks, Hibiscus collins is a good nonalcoholic drink. I guess we found Mr. Wongs special fried rice a little oily, but that aside, every thing was really good incl. the service, the food, and the atmosphere

Incredible vibe here, the building and decor is impeccable! The duck pancakes and dumplings are so good.

This visit was a family dinner to celebrate my nieces 18th birthday. A party of 12 was no problem. Food, wines, service, and atmosphere were excellent. We did not hold back.

Couldn t fault a single thing. From the excellent food and perfect service to the moody atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Every dish was excellent. Service was great.

It was my first time in Mr Wong and I m very impressed with everything thing. Food was very tasty , service was excellent , atmosphere was pleasant. Thanks Mr Wong Food

With an overwhelming atmosphere, the best fried eggplant dish and Peking duck are top notch..!!

We finally made it down to Mr Wong! Ambience was really nice ,the lighting was a little dim though which made it a bit hard to read the menu. So we ordered the below dishes, and also the fried rice with shrimp only , (gf option) This dish had nice wok hei! They were really on it with the gluten free options , but couldn t help myself so ate some pork belly . I have lived in Hong Kong and eaten some gorgeous Cantonese fare there . The dishes we sampled at Mr Wong were very tasty and delicious , just like in Hong Kong . The hotpot of mushrooms dish was a little salty , but yum nevertheless . I thought the tofu would be braised and soft , but the hotpot was very textural with the hard tofu . The pork belly was beautiful. The seafood hotpot was perfectly cooked - scallops were delicious . However, this dish could have had a little more punch and kick with ie chilli or garlic or some heat . The service was humble and super friendly and very well orchestrated . Numerous staff attended our table , and they were super efficient and genuine . Casual but relaxing vibe . Highly recommend!

Fantastic atmosphere, though a bit crowded, which is a testament to the quality of their Asian cuisine some of the best I ve experienced in Sydney. The restaurant boasts a charming vintage decor, and the staff are exceptionally friendly, offering excellent recommendations on dishes and portion sizes. Finding the restaurant can be a bit challenging due to limited signage and its location in a side lane.

Tried the place today on a friend s recommendation on an early Sunday night. - Got seated at the bar even though I was surrounded by empty tables. I requested to be moved because I was cramped and servers were swishing past me ( the stool I was seated on was in the way) and I was told the other empty tables had prior reservations ( however no other guests had arrived till the end of the meal) so nothing was done. - Never had a server - the bartender helped us out throughout the meal. - The food was very high in salt. I drank the hot and sour soup down with sprite because of that. If I wanted to eat salty food with no service cramped on a bar stool I would not have come to a sit down restaurant with fine dining prices. I love Sydney but this experience was a low point.

Fried crab rice was awesome, layers of taste, real crab meat inside, generous portion. As an asian, the dryness/ wetness of rice was perfect. The sweet and sour pork is too salty, and a bit overcooked, quite dry. but its texture was good

Fantastic food, duck pancakes were superb and the staff were very professional, polite and attentive to our group. Made extra special by the manager bringing out a special desert with congratulations on it for my newly wed wife and I. Also great music. Would highly recommend!

Ahh the orient Blessed by spice, hawkers delight Soup, noodles or rice?

Excellent food, exceptional service Dietary restrictions: Celiac Kid-friendliness: Kids 11-15 treated as adults

Perfect venue for all special occasions. Food was top-notch and service could not be faulted.

Came here to celebrate my anniversary with my missus on Saturday night, very busy and packed. Was a bit difficult to have a conversation with the loud music but the food made up for it, and plus with our service was very attentive. Paid 290 dollars for 3 drinks and 5 dishes.

Great spot

My wife and I ate here to celebrate our marriage. Courtney took care of us and was a wonderful host, we had a great experience at Mr. Wong on such a special occasion Thanks so much to Courtney for taking good care of us!

Solid for Chinese-fusion food, bending a bit more towards traditional Chinese than a lot of fusion menus. Ground floor has good character including the kitchen and a great view of the roast ducks, basement has a massive high ceiling and an even better vibe. Clearly a place to be seen by a fashionable crowd tho, not a place you go for value.

Best Peking duck pancakes in Sydney!

The food and drinks were average and overpriced. The staff was unwelcome and the music very noisy.

Worst Chinese ever had - don t know what everyone raves about. maybe because we ve lived in Hong Kong maybe we just picked the wrong dishes. fried rice a soggy mess - chicken Sichuan to start average - half duck had to fight through bones - no flavour at all - veg was good wouldn t go back.

Amazing experience!! Great food and customer service

An amazing restaurant with everything just perfect. We ll be back again!!!

Great food and service. Nice, cosy atmosphere

Chinese compatriots, please avoid lightning Mr.Wong Too bad to eat Duck meat is hard and thick Rice rolls are oily Salty Xiao Long Bao Only the tea tastes good The worst Chinese food I have ever eaten in Sydney

A really delicious Cantonese restaurant. Dim sum can be eaten cheaply and deliciously with yum cha in Australia, but I didnt have time, so I looked for a restaurant where I could try various dishes. The food is so delicious that I want to come back to this restaurant next time I come to Australia.

Wonderful food, and atmosphere but what really made the night was the exceptional service from our waiter Kevin S. He went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were catered for and went the extra mile to make the experience unforgettable.

Very cool ambience and service was lovely. Overall we enjoyed the food!

I went to Mr. Wong s with a high expectation. I felt like they fell short on a few areas. My wife contacted about my son s birthday. They said they would do something special with the desert which didn t happen. All the food was good, but not outstanding for the price. It is worth trying, but I won t be hurrying back.

Quak quak that its found.

Atmosphere was wonderful, service was exceptional especially from our waitress Kimmi who went above and beyond to make our dining experience a memorable one. The food was amazing, a 10/10 and we will definitely be back. Thank you

Came here as I was in from Melbourne and nearby to my hotel. Highly recommended to me but I was disappointed as the food was just average. As a table for one I did mainly appetisers but that in itself was over $100. Kingfish cut into quite thick pieces and not much flavour, everything kind of blends into the one same taste whether the tartare or the cut chicken I honestly believe you can get better food elsewhere for the price. Staff were good though and service was fast

We asked for specific dumpling which were stated on the menu but the waiter said it s not available during this time The waiter said if you want these kind of dumplings the chef has to wrap them for some odd reason. If you pay over $100 for 12 dumplings, you should expect they are made freshly. Very disappointing.

I was really looking forward to this after reading the reviews and hearing from others who have been here before. We booked ahead but could only get a late sitting (NP). About half of the dishes in our set menu were good. A quarter were ordinary (one was awful), and a quarter were sublimely good. It is noisy and cramped (np). I was expecting this as it has such a good rep. We were not treated like we were paying over 130 per head. We were rushed. I wanted to savour every course, but it was impossible at the rate they were coming out. At one point, one observant (and lovely) waiter came to the table and asked if we would like it to slow down, and we said yes gratefully. Then, less than 2 minutes later, another course landed on the table. The decor is top shelf. It is an amazing building and set up. I noticed that the people that had ordered of the menu were having a nicer time, so if I decide to go again, that is what I would do. I think that the set menus are their money makers and rather than showcasing their range of amazing food thay are achieving the opposite. And alienating people at the same time. We get it. You dont need us.

Food was nice. The place was crowded even on weekdays

Food was really good and friendly staff, great atmosphere

Its such a delicious place. Be sure to try the dim sum and Peking duck. However, you may have to wait in line and it may be a bit noisy. But I have no regrets.

As a frequent dinner at Mr Wongs the service has significantly declined. We were served the wrong food three times, it took over 3 hours to serve a table of four for lunch . The only saving grace is the quality of the food. Obviously not the standard I am used to

Fonzi, Madison & Dan was the sweetest. So glad I got to spent my birthday here

This was the highlight of our Sydney trip! We sat at the bar for a cocktail and ended up staying for dinner because we didn t want to leave. Shoutout to Fonz and Dan for their amazing service, they made this an unforgettable experience. They recommended the Chefs choice Dim Sum platter and kingfish ceviche and both were 10/10. Will be recommending to everyone as a Sydney must do!!

The best restaurant with everything in terms of atmosphere, food quality, and service. The price is very reasonable too Recommended for those who like Guangdong food

Great atmosphere .Delicious food and friendly and efficient service

Everything was fabulous

Mr Wong s has such a great atmosphere. Beef cubes and Kung pao was great always a joy to go here. Took my chef mate to eat here he loved it.

We booked a reservation over a week ago. Food was great but the service was not as expected. The server was rude to us and she kept on rushing us to finish our meal (even though we dined for less than 2 hours). I don t remember her name but she was not friendly and made us feel uncomfortable.

We came in for lunch without a reservation and had steamed and fried dim sum. Every bite had a different pleasant flavor. Nice experience. Id love to come back and try some of the other dishes.

Best Chinese restaurant Ive been to

I can t put into words the emotions I felt when I had the prawn toast here, as well as the pork belly. I m seriously still dreaming about it. Get the 2 person banquet. HEAVEN ON EARTH

Oh my God...fantastic food. Great staff. Lives up to the hype..

Had an amazing time here. The service of Sid was exeptional! Staff were lovely too. Will come back again!

Very expensive, rice is available at an additional cost

Had an amazing lunch there today with a mate, we were sitting on the alone 2 pax table under the low doorway between kitchen and the bar. We Ordered heaps of dim Sum s, a bottle of mosel and some Cocktails which were all delicious, lobster with kaffir lime prob the fave, the duck pancakes the beautiful blon

We celebrated a special birthday at Mr Wongs and the food was amazing. Im also glad they have changed the booking system as having to pay up front $100 pp for the reservation for 12 peple 2 months before a booking really wasnt great and very expensive. That aside, the service was impeccable, the food was amazing and we all had a lovely time there.

The food was alright, feel a bit overpriced. the table next to us got serve hand/hot towel (or refreshment towel) but we didnt got it not sure why or need to request ?

Had a worst experience here .. very very bad .. customer service zero !! table was not ready we had to wait for 30 mins and waited for someone to take our food orders it took 40 mins for that after placing the food order the lady forgets to place our order to the kitchen so we had to wait another 30 mins more and each dish was coming after 20 or 25 mins .. come to Dubai learn from here .. never experienced this learn or take a course from Din tai Fong .. hope others don t go thru this . Guys don t forget customers are important

Incredible food and service, highly recommended
