The first thing I will say is that if you're serious about dining at Mr. Wong, make certain that you have reservations. It is very popular, but for very good reasons. The service was impeccable, the food simply delicious, and the atmosphere that of a popular restaurant with very supportive patrons. One might say that the noise level was medium or greater, but it's simply because the dining patrons were busy conversing with one another, rather than staring at their cell phones. I would definitely return to this wonderful restaurant! read more

Incredible food, attentive service, in a beautiful setting! Most of the restaurant's space is underground in a converted wine cellar. We had the banquet and were absolutely stuffed and raving about every part of the meal the entire time we were there. Best part of the meal were the steamed dumplings even though it was all INCREDIBLE. Best meal I've had in Sydney. read more

When we were at maybe Sammy's this woman recommended Mr. Wong's to try. So we expected a little hole in the wall dumplings place. I didn't realize this is the largest and busiest Chinese restaurant in the hemisphere. They work so incredibly well together. And the steamed and fried platter dumplings were spot on. The service was fast, flawless, and incredibly attentive and polite. Love the oolong tea. Fabulous. So glad we came to this Sydney legendary place. read more

A deliciously cool place and outrageously energetic staff, bartenders and manager Thomas made Mr Wong quite a memorable dining experience. We were new to Sydney and to many of the menu offerings- but fortunate to be seated at a roomy bar high top with the most knowledgeable bartender on earth. Not only did he suggest and describe a perfect dim sum platter to share, followed by succulent Peking duck, but related the history of the enormous building (that can seat 200+ guests) and talented restaurant group. A magical dining evening from start to finish! read more

At the recommendation of the hotel's concierge (he will hear about it!) for a great place for dinner on our last night of our vacation together, was THE worst dining experience! A "reservations only" fine restaurant can do better! The waitress gave great recommendations on food but a waiter wasn't sympathetic when we expressed our "desire to leave as quickly as possible" at the end of our meals. read more

I was lucky to get a seat though I had no reservation and the place was absolutely jammed with people. I guess that's a benefit of dining alone the night before heading out of town. It would be better to have a group so that you can sample several dishes, but since I was solo, I had to choose. I went with the Singapore noodles with pork and prawns. Once I ordered, it was out in very short order. I was sitting by the kitchen and that team is cranking through all night! My noodles were flavorful and perfectly cooked: just the right amount of pork and prawns with sauce. The portion is generous for one, but I managed to finish it. The building is interesting and the restaurant is lively and loud. I'd make a reservation if I wanted to eat here again, which I would if I were in the area. I didn't need the full fried ice cream, but another Yelper said it was a must do. The waitress told me they did a small one, so I ordered that. It was quite tasty and well executed. The highlight for me was the sauce. It looks like their roasted and grilled meats are a feature as well, but there was no way I could do that without sharing. Next time, I guess! read more

If you're in Sydney and looking for some place special, this is it. However, ensure you have reservations otherwise you will not get in. This is a special restaurant with delicacies I never heard or dreamed of. Food was out of this world great. Service was impeccable. And prices were what you'd imagine for such but worth it. It's in a gorgeous setting; no street signs per se to guide you but absolutely charming. read more

You clearly come here for the vibe, which is split between restaurant-classic wine bar/massive old industrial basement, and is well worth a stop, at least if someone else is paying. They have an impressive rack of roast duck that is quickly emptied on the ground floor as dinner gets rolling, and they handled our large group well. Fried rice was more on the fusion side but still tasty, the har gow appetizer was clearly a fancy variety assortment, and the veggies we had (a mix of gai lan and snow peas) were all delicious. That said the vibe is clearly fancy/business dinner type, so keep that in mind if you're expecting something more casual. And definitely make a reservation. read more

Everybody is talking about this restaurant in Sydney . Now I figured , it's nice , clean , classic , upscale and great diner . We came on Friday night 15 minutes after they reopen for dinner , man there were a lot people waiting to get in , the hostesses are so kind and friendly at the door . Anyways the food was amazing, sort of combination of modern and traditional Cantonese cuisine . We never have anything like this in LA . Really recommend this place and reservation is also recommended read more

It was slightly confusing to find but totally worth it. It was tucked downed a "side-street" aka alleyway. I was pleasantly surprised by the size and upscale decor. I was expecting a small hole in the wall but walked into a modern popular speakeasy. We were able to be seated shortly after noon without a reservation. Everyone we encountered from the hostess to the person who sat us to the person who checked on us to the person who followed up on the person who sat us to the person who refilled our water to the person who brought out our food...I can't say that we had a server because there was a team of lovely folks ensuring that our experience was great. We ordered the Chinese roasted duck, king crab fried rice, Sweet & sour crispy pork hock. The Chinese roasted duck came to the table a little bit warmer than cold, flavor was good but I would have preferred freshly prepared or even reheated duck. Also, the skin could have been crispier. We were skeptical about the fried rice because it was colorless (lack of color usually equates to lack of flavor) BUT we were wrong. The fried rice was the best thing I ate. I had to force myself to stop eating it. Last but not least, although I didn't try the pork hock it was described as the best thing ever made...perfectly flavored and prepared. I'd love to try other menu items. read more

How does this place not have 5-stars on Yelp! Truly sublime food at this establishment. The duck wrap shined as the go to appetizer of choice for me. Truly moist succulent duck. You cannot go wrong with this choice. For my main fare I enjoyed the Crispy Chicken. Another excellent meal all-around. The decor here also stuns. They even turned a lift/elevator shaft into a wine cellar. I guarantee if you visit, you will love it. Come here with friends, or come here alone, either way a smashing good time indeed. read more

Mr. Wong's is unbelievably good! I was recommended this restaurant and it did not disappoint at all. From the ambiance, to the journey of finding this restaurant, I am so glad that I took the recommendation and was able to get a reservation to this highly sought out restaurant. For food, I had the Sweet & Sour Crispy Pork Hocks, Crab Rice and the assorted dumpling platter. Everything that I had was AMAZING. I can't remember the exact cocktail that I had, but I know that I thoroughly enjoyed it and had no complaints. I haven't stopped talking about Mr. Wong's since I returned. Everything about the restaurant, the food, and the service was great. When I get the opportunity to return to Sydney this will be my first stop. Highly recommend this place! read more

We loved this restaurant for the service, the food, the building and the overall experience - was well worth the money, which didn't end up being that much, but we didn't go crazy. We had the dim sum, Peking duck and the beef dish. Everything was perfectly done, especially the beef. While the food was good, the service was amazing as the ambience inside the restaurant which both made it special. I loved the discreet location in the alley and the beautiful restored building. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Definitely a good spot to hike to if you're staying anywhere in the "center" of Sydney. The ambiance and coziness were fantastic, as well as the over the top attentive & helpful servers! I was a bit torn on what to get, and my waitress was more than helpful - just speak up, and I believe they can help you with any choices. I opted to go with the: Wagyu & truffle puffs - not my favorite of the bunch but about 2 bites and the steak bits just wasn't up to par. Flaky coating and not overwhelming truffle taste. 4 mixed steamed dumplings - this is where the server really helped me out and instead of saying 8 and charging for that, she said we can make it 4 since I was a solo lunch date to myself. King crab and prawn was tied with crystal king prawn & pork dumpling. The baby spinach was good, though I'm not a huge spinach fan. Pork xiao was pretty good too but the two first were the best. King crab fried rice - "typhoon shelter style" - I'm still not 100% sure what that means but it was delicious! The highlight of the meal. A few decent sized bites of king crab. Also, another time the waitress came through - she helped me a get a bit smaller portion (again, saving me a little extra money as well) so I could get a little sampling of the above plus this amazing dish. The flavor is just *chef's kiss* ... you can't go wrong. Also - mix some chili sauce with soy sauce for a little extra added flavor for dipping (as needed). read more

I've been to a lot of restaurants of this caliber all around the world and this has got to be one of the most disappointing ones that left me scratching my head. The food was okay. It was fine. Granted, I am someone who has had A LOT of authentic Asian food so I know what the gold standard is and this was... the most run of the middle mid-range food. My partner and I did the full tasting menu so I do feel like we got a great representation of the different dishes. Nearly all left me desiring more and felt like tired versions of the classics. The quality of some dishes felt reminiscent of what you would expect from a cheap takeaway spot. I'm truly not trying to be overly negative with this review - we were excited to try this place after hearing from a friend that it was a must-go. This is an expensive restaurant. I expected better. We spent well over $400 on a meal for two (expected this) but on food that felt like PF Changs quality (didn't expect this). I don't know how no one else is talking about this - maybe those visiting this restaurant don't know what they're missing? Maybe they're blindsided by the expensive menu and assumed that food that costs a lot must be good? Again, not trying to be overly negative - I'm just confused. This seems like a spot that people like because it is expensive and they might see a celebrity - you'll find that with expensive restaurants sometimes, people feel important when they spend money there so the quality of the food doesn't need to be up to par. That's fine - again, I'm not judging. But I'm of a belief system that food quality should match price and prestige. One final comment - the service was abhorrent. Usually when dining at a place like this, service is five star quality too. Our waitress was nowhere to be found nearly the entirety of the meal. We would've ordered at least two more rounds of drinks but couldn't due to her absence. I booked this reservation for my husband's birthday dinner - I specified this on the reservation and again when we checked in with the hostess. There was no special attention or acknowledgment of it being a birthday dinner (which is okay, not everywhere does this but usually 5 star restaurants do; especially when there is a place to specify it on the reservation) - we then saw desserts with birthday candles being delivered to a few other patrons dining near us and I realized they must have just forgotten. It was too late in the meal to acknowledge it - and honestly, it's awkward to. The waitress did mention she was new so this could've been because of that. Overall, the experience at Mr. Wong was unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. read more

This was the best Cantonese I've ever had. Sat at the bar and had Amazing service as well.

So fire! The restaurant is situated down a cobblestone alleyway. My boyfriend and I walked in at 9pm on a Friday night after a terrible experience at our reservation at Uncle Ming's. We had waited 50 minutes at our dinner table without a drink and were desperate for dinner on our last night in Australia. There was a 30 minute wait but they brought us to the bar and said we could sit and have cocktails before we were seated, they were incredible (see photos). We were sat at 9:20 downstairs at the bar, which was great and the hostess spent atleast 10 minutes with us getting to know us and exploring the menu with us. We were able to people watch and hangout with our bartender, which is our fav! We ordered the steamed dim sum (a MUST, they have a dim sum chef), kung pao chicken, and the house fried rice which was some of the best fried rice I have ever had. Could not recommend more! read more

Just want to start by saying that the food was absolutely amazing, would rate the meal 15-stars if I could. This place has been recommended to us by everyone we know from and around the area, and the food did not disappoint by any means. That being said, for a weeknight evening (albeit relatively busy and would understandably come with a few delays), our service was one of the slowest experiences we have encountered. We arrived 10 minutes early to our reservation time, but didn't receive water or have a waiter to ask us our drink selection for 30 minutes, and then had another 30+ minute delay between asking for the dessert menu and seeing our waiter again. We are normally low-maintenance patrons and don't truly complain about these kinds of things, but what would have otherwise been a 1.5 hour dinner turned into an over 3-hour meal, and both tables next to us had their desserts comped on the house in front of us as this happened (but not ours). We likely would have ordered another bottle of wine if given the opportunity before we were falling asleep having been forgotten by the staff! Overall, great food, great ambiance, but the slow service and observing multiple tables turned over around us (a nearby table we watched turned over twice during our meal) was upsetting. Just something to keep in mind if you're on a tight schedule or have plans following your meal! read more

The place is dimly lit, provides an intimate setting. It is beautiful, although a little cramped. The food is good but too pricey for what it is. I order the prawn wontons in supreme broth, the Peking duck, and the crab fried rice. The prawn wontons were delicious with a tasty broth, but the portion size is small. The skin on the Peking duck wasn't crispy enough and the wraps easily ripped. The skin should be more crispy with an elastic wrap. The fried rice was overly seasoned. It is covered in fried garlic and seasoning that you have to mix into the rice yourself. The seasoning overpowered the delicate crab and you can barely taste any crab, which should be the highlight of the dish. I think there should be more crab for the price. Overall the food is good, and our waiter, James, provided us with phenomenal service, but I think you can find better authentic Chinese cooking elsewhere. read more

While planning my trip here from America I had a handful of friends tell me I must dine at Mr. Wong. I can only thank them enough. Located in small alley way and the signage is not that visible, however you will see tables, the kitchen and lighting as you walk down the street. We came during off peak hours because as I understood it would might be a long wait during peak dining hours. We were seated promptly (around 2:30pm). MAKE NOTE THE RESTAURANT CLOSES AT 3PM-5:30PM. We were amazed to see the capastity this space holds. You must walk the place and see the space (downstairs too)! The wait staff are all dressed in bow ties and vests - tux style. I felt strange walking in wearing jeans, however as I browsed the place I saw all types of attire, from dressy, chic, to casual. We were seated by the kitchen that makes the desserts and steamed dishes so it was super fun to watch the cooks do their work. We didn't have a lot of time before the closed so we quickly decided on the roast duck dumplings (decedent) and the crispy eggplant (another wonderful choice). For desert we ordered the deep fried vanilla ice cream (order it)!!!!! Everything was truly wonderful! After dinning we toured the restaurant which was almost a ghost town because they were prepping for their second seating. It was fun to be some of the only ones there when we were finished. There are countless bar areas, okay I think there were three or four. Two kitchens, one as I mentioned was for deserts and steamed dishes. The second kitchen must have been for the main dishes. Notice the glass enclosure that stores the wine. It starts from the ground floor and works it's way to the top floor along the stairs. The restrooms are fun to see as well. I know that is weird to say, but it's true. Check out the menu online, large drink and wine list, lovely staff, decedent food! Mr. Wong is a must! Thank me later!! read more
