A. Wong in City of London, Westminster

Truly our of this world.. the best food we have had in a Chinese restaurant

We did The Collections of China experience with the wine pairing and we truly had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, great flavour profiles!! If you are a foodie this is a must try!!

Went for Lunch A-la carte Menu. We were sat watching the kitchen . The service was immaculate and really friendly. We appreciated all the dishes being explained. The food was 10/10. Every dish was just unbelievable. I have found with most restaurants in London consistency with the dishes lacks but not here. Yes it is expensive but everything is hand made and they use very expensive ingredients. (The only complaint i would have is placing the tray of very expensive champagne placed right in front of us without asking if we were interested in a glass it felt we were being a little forced when it was lunch time and we are couple who don't tend to drink that much) Bar that one small complaint A.Wong is one of the best restaurants i have been to. Standout dishes which are a must order: Memories of cheung fun Scallop cheung fun Soy chicken Custard Bun ! Black pepper beef wontons with garlic wild mushroom bun Xian city lamb burger

Had dinner tasting menu, what a fantastic experience. Amazing food and fab service, a real treat.

I can’t believe the incredible lunch that happened to me today. Mr Andrew Wong is the great chef in the hospitality hero. His creativity created these meals for us. I appreciated A Wong a lot. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience.

Did the “touch of heart” tasting menus. Came with 5 wine parings. But before they brought in the champagne 🍾 and when with guests cannot refuse. That increased the bill greatly. Hence watch out for this and tell the Serving staff early not to. Food was super and can see the chef wong leading from the front with his team. Serving staff is great too.

My son and I came to belatedly celebrate his 30th birthday. We had the tasting menu and thoroughly enjoyed the food, service, and entertaining and informative introductions to each course. He has eaten at a few Michelin star restaurants and ranks this in his top three. I’ve only been to Heston Blumental’s “Fat Duck.” Neither of us were happy sharing/eating from the same dish as some of the dishes were difficult to serve ourselves individually, and I found some of the whole mouth dishes difficult to put in my mouth in one go and would have preferred two smaller portions. I do think a 15% service charge is excessive considering the Michelin price, and a flat rate charge would be more reasonable. Overall, I’d recommend the restaurant and was very glad we experienced it.

Amazing dinner, amazing experience. Wow

The tasting menu was fun and good. But they sat us out in the extended front patio area separated from the main restaurant. The ambiance was lacking and noisy. The glass window separating us from the restaurant would shake when the various doors close. The inside actual restaurant looks better where there is a view of the kitchen. The experience may have been better inside but I wouldn’t know. Also I was charged around 500 pounds when the tasting menu was 200 per person. We had 4 bottles of water and jasmine tea for 100 pounds? I don’t know because the end of the dinner was somewhat abrupt. There was no explanation that the dinner was over or an itemized bill. Disappointed frankly.

This place was comically underwhelming. At least half of what we ordered wasn't available and the waiter was nearly unable to take our order. The comment that this was stripmall dim sum was universally agreed on. The fact this place has not one but two Michelin stars is shocking. Having eaten at dozens of Michelin star restaurants, including the same week, this was nowhere near the same level. I'd be embarrassed to tell people I even spent $400+ to eat here.

We got the tasting menu which was about £200 each. We came for my birthday and everyone made me feel welcome. The tasting menu is 5/6 sets of courses which takes you through China. The menu was great, some pieces were amazing whilst some underwhelming but overall a good experience. Service and ambience was great. Portion size for each dish was small but you’ll get full just off the number of dishes. A great restaurant in a great location but definitely on the pricey side. Some food was also hard to eat.

Just perfect. Many thanks to the whole team!

- their dim sum is very delicious - but the price is per 1 piece so i think it’s a bit overpriced

It just doesn’t warrant the price. Felt dissatisfied.

The food was astonishingly good, and this is someone who is not a great din sum fan. We were completely blown away. Service was very attentive, all in all one of the best lunches we’ve ever had.

My wife and I visited the restaurant to try the Taste of China menu. We have high standards and expected a lot. A Wong exceeded our expectations. The level of cooking, techniques and presentation is sky high. The endless parade of dishes is a experience that we haven't experienced anywhere else. Some sauces take 3 or 4 hours to cook and you will try like 28 dishes so you can imagine how much effort is put in this menu. The service was outstanding ( shout out Beeraj) and what we really liked is that the service is very informal. You will share dishes and eat with your hands sometime if you want. No formal Alain Ducasse night out but a fun and delicious night out! There are more fun factors during the dinner but I won't spoil those. Go there and experience this phenomenal evening night out!

The price is on the high side, and the exquisite Chinese cuisine is very in line with Western eating habits. The service staff are also very friendly. The chef uses special techniques to transform dishes from various parts of China into his own dishes and presents them to diners, and they can also learn about dishes from various parts of China👍 Several dishes tasted like nothing I had ever tasted before, and some of them were surprised! But of course there are some that are just ordinary~ Unfortunately, my throat discomfort that day affected some parts of my taste🥲

Today we went to A Wong for the first time. We were generally enjoying the meal until we were moved to the windowless basement bar to finish our tasting menu. This was in fact to free up our table for the next guests. We were led to believe that this was normal protocol and all guests were to attend the basement bar for the end of their meal despite the fact that we were the only people there and the restaurant upstairs was packed. This was very disrespectful to us and we will not be visiting the restaurant again. This ruined our experience and is unacceptable for a double Michelin starred restaurant.

Felt rushed. Food not great. Daylight robbery. Not michelin standard.

it was recommended by a friend but totally disappointed. Probably if you do not know Dim Sum or never tried any 'Haute Cuisine (or in Hong Kong we call it 'Nouvelle Cuisine')' restaurant, you may be amazed. It was a totally let down that there are a few typos / grammar mistakes / awkward translation found in the menu. (Please do not mix Traditional Characters with the Simplified ones). There are so many weird things that I can point out (1. Choy Sum with century Egg?? seriously? 2. Dim Sum Duo under Dim Sum...what do you mean?) but after all it is just a restaurant run by a British Chef🤣. The amount of dishes is overwhelming as well (It is quite rare to have Dim sum for dinner and we do not usually order more than 10-15 for 2 people...remind you Dim sum is quite unhealthy!) The taste of food is....okay if you are not after authenticity 😎. I do not think I would visit again.

Had dim sum lunch. Quite nice, but not memorable - we tried almost everything on the menu between us. Staff nice enough. Still prefer the food at the Royal China in Bayswater. Surprised this has a Michelin star. Honestly, a bit disappointing. So sorry!

The best meal either of us have ever eaten, bar none.

This was our first time dining at a Michelin starred restaurant, so we have a lot of interesting things to take away. I believe Andrew and his team are extremely talented chefs and the techniques used are impressive and fascinating. However we did encounter one problem that reduced the quality, alongside the tasting menu we opted for a non alcoholic pairing (I have gilbert’s syndrome and my partner can not handle alcohol) 4 of the 6 drinks we received contained an unpleasant amount of vinegar? Which made them really hard to stomach alongside our food when we had hoped they would be refreshing.

To say that A. Wong is a massive disappointment is an understatement. You know the feeling when you are at some snazzy art exhibit that everyone is raving about, but you have no idea what you are seeing or why it’s such a big deal? That’s exactly how A. Wong feels like but with food. There’s absolutely nothing special about the taste of the food except that the pieces (the very small pieces) look good for Instagram. The dim sum comes by piece and they have the audacity to call a piece a dish! The waiters should all work in sales instead because they rave about the “dishes” while you’re ordering to make you believe it is that good (spoiler alert: it’s below average). I have had better dim sum in almost every other place that serves them in London. This place is pretentious and vapid. If you want to pretend to be cool cause you’re spending 100+ pounds per person for a handful of dim sum pieces, then this place is for you. Otherwise; avoid this rip off restaurant.

With their signature “A Taste of China” menu, Andrew Wong invites guests to enjoy the culinary experience that he has crafted based on the different parts of China. The restaurant most definitely lives up to every praise they have ever received!

This must have been one of the best dining experiences I had. The effort put into each dish (there are a total of 28 of them!) was phenomenal. You could see the chef working just like a surgeon surrounded by a number of junior chefs assisting and learning. Each dish had a distinct and unforgettable and deep taste making your palates go crazy (in a good way!). It took us 2.5 hours to finish the whole course and we enjoyed every minute of it. Service was very attentive and we received detailed description of each course making the experience all the more unique. I would want to visit again despite the high prices. Was worth it.

Had the collections of China menu. The food was amazing - have visited some Michelin restaurants in the Europe and A. Wong is my favourite! Personally liked the peking duck. Service was excellent as well.

Have been to A.Wong a few years ago and was great. Tried booking again but got a rude confirmation email saying they expect no allergies and cannot accommodate at all. Replied back with feedback and no response. Have not had such bad customer service from any other Michelin star restaurant.

Absolutely lives up to the hype. An exceptional meal from start to finish

Uno de los mejores restaurantes de Londres, todo muy bueno.

Wanted to try A Wong as the only UK 2 Michelin Star rated Asian restaurant. Really liked the food and service, tasting menu is delicious, well executed, imaginative and well thought out. Venue was a bit underwhelming, sat in what felt like a cheap extension so it felt incongruent with the overall culinary experience.

I would give no star if I could, they didn't want to serve us because they are extremely pretentious, so disgusting!

Repas incroyable. Le menu prend la forme d'une pléthore de plats visant à faire découvrir une multitude de régions de Chine. On est loin des restaurants chinois français qui proposent des Nems, sushis et riz cantonnais... Je n'ai pas trop la patience de décrire un à un tous les plats, mais c'est un sans faute... Bref, j'ai vraiment adoré.

Hats off to the chef and team for the excellent experience and modest, non pretentious attitude. He really took us on a journey from his childhood memories to all his China trips and the flavours travelled us to all those spaces. The spices, techniques, flavours were all impeccably bound together and resulted in unique dishes that provoked feelings. The wine pairing was excellent, as well as all staff. The chef was always in the front line, working with the team with polite dedication. The space is so different from other michelin restaurants that enjoy exposing their avant gardness, it was rather his childhood home, much more modest and true. Thank you for the amazing experience!

The food is exceptional and a wide range of cuisines from across China. The service was somewhat disappointing however, given we had to wait over 45 mins from our booking.

Andrew and team made us feel very, very special during our dinner at A. Wong. They had written my girlfriend a personalised happy birthday card, with the whole team signing on it. The food was presented really well, in a traditional Chinese sharing dining manner. The food was flavourful, diverse and well cooked. Couldn’t complain about lack of truffles, caviar and wagyu beef. The interior, despite it being a 2 Michelin starred establishment, stays true to its Chinese diner roots. The food, whilst elevated, feels authentic, and Andrew coming out the kitchen to talk to us about the menu and what inspired him to build it the way it is, was the cherry on top. Service was personal, wine list was extensive, and food was to die for. Need to visit again for the dim sum lunch experience.

DELCIOUS dim sum lunch here recently. Service was excellent, all the staff were super knowledgeable and really friendly. Food was stunning. Every mouthful was a delight. For £175 it is a bit punchy, but a special treat and includes a wine flight, so actually not too bad! We left feeling stuffed and happy.

Great food and great service. 3* only because we were “forced” to take the wine pairing with the lunch menu… Waiter did not give us the choice, that isn’t good practice.

Quite the example of what True dedication can do, a man who grew up in the restaurant of his parents created what must be the ultimate in modern Chinese dining. Its a challenge though, 3 hours plus but a pleasure. Brilliant staff that cater for everything, incl the non alcoholic pairing, which was brilliant. Is it expensive, yes quite, but do yourself a favour and forget the price it only tells you if you can afford it, not what its worth

Friendly but inattentive service. The food was not bad but overall gimmicky and did not do the ingredients enough justice. Serving the abalone and sea cucumber diced was egregious.

Unable to adjust any menus to accommodate dietary requirements, incredibly disappointing

I had the full "Taste of China" tasting menu and was left wanting for a true diversity of Chinese flavours. IMO this restaurant is a good choice for people who have not eaten regional Chinese cuisines in China itself. Most of the dishes had a Hongkongese slant to them, which can work for some dishes but fall flat for others. For example the Shanghai soup dumpling had a distinct flavour of corn (confirmed by the waiter) and were lukewarm, which is incorrect for the dish. This trend repeated for most dishes in the 25+ dishes served. As someone born in Wuhan, and has lived in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Qingdao, this menu was a mishmash of what the chef thought would work together, but missed the core elements of what makes each regional speciality a speciality. Could you imagine Carbonara without guanciale and pecorino romano? Or Sole Meunière without beurre? Deviations that ultimately divert so far from the original flavour profile that reduces the overall quality of the meal rather than being experienced as innovative. Service was amazing however, as were the cocktails. You will also not leave hungry and there was almost *too much* food.

Great food, great atmosphere. Fantastic customer service

모든게 완벽합니다. 런던에서 중국식 고급 식당을 찾는다면 적극 추천 합니다. 저녁 코스 요리 맛있어요..

One of the best dining experience I have ever had. Two star Michelin restaurant and it is easy to see why. Service was absolutely immaculate, and the food was delicious. Worth the money. BTW, make sure to get a dessert! They take you downstairs to this Forbidden Forrest thing, it is super sick!

I booked this restaurant weeks ago by going online after learning of their Michelin star rating. At the time of booking I specifically mentioned that I eat everything and am non vegetarian and my wife is vegetarian. No one responded saying that it is shared menu and that they can do one or the other for two people. 72 hours non cancellation notice came and I confirmed again. I got another notification 48 hours before for any notes we wanted to share and I reminded them of our dietary preferences again. That is when we were told that they could only do vegetarian menu for us. I sent the note back asking if they could accommodate as no one told us earlier, or at least bring me the taste of something that was non vegetarian but it appears that ownership is too arrogant. I absolutely did not enjoy the dinner I will not recommend this place to anyone. Ownership should not forget that they are on the customer service business to help and satisfy customers. Their manager asked me if I booked online, and when I said yes, his response was that online booking was the reason of confusion, his comment did not make any sense at all. Disappointment

Staff, food experience all incredible. Highly recommend.

This place gave my friend & i food poisoning.. I’m in London for 3 days.. flying out early tomorrow morning & I’ve been in bed & the bathroom all day.. I wasted my entire Sat. In London with food poisoning because I ate here yesterday, & im flying out at 7AM tomorrow 🥲🥲🥲 (we both ordered the tasting menu)

IMHO: Overpriced, many dishes lack taste. Extremely overrated. Mediocre and not worth the money. Would avoid as many better other options out there.

Four of us enjoyed the Taste of China evening tasting meal a few months ago and I’ve been meaning to drop a review for a while. It was magical, from the narration, to the education in Chinese food, to the glorious taste bud work out. The thought and care that has gone into this experience is obviously immense. Textures, smells, mouth feel and TASTE we topped with the visual feat of the presentation. We chose the deeply intuitive wine pairing, and all rolled out of the restaurant like very happy weevils. I will definitely do this again, brilliant!!!!

Incredible food - having experienced many Michelin star restaurants in London I can hand in heart say this is my new favourite spot and would recommend the collection of china to anyone. What a delight.I’d try and pick an favourite but genuinely found anll the courses to be a delight. Our waiter Pen (? Hope I heard this correctly!) was excellent and really made the experience for us - such a relaxed demeanour, made us feel so comfortable and was incredibly informative. Bravo. We will be back for more.

We had a really fantastic meal at A. Wong. As vegetarians we often find set/tasting menus can be a bit disappointing, when you see what other diners are enjoying. This was not the case at all at A. Wong. Each dish felt incredibly considered and everything was delicious. The staff were very friendly and proactive, but also enthusiastic about the food and the ethos of the restaurant. We even found a new favourite French wine courtesy of the excellent sommelier. Thoroughly recommended!

This was our first Michelin Star meal and we were blown away. We had the A Touch Of Heart lunch menu and the flavours were truly incredible. We hope to come back for the dinner menu soon.

Wow. Definitively the best meal I've ever had. My boyfriend took me here for our 7 month anniversary and it was an amazing evening. We got there a bit early and were seated in the bar downstairs, which was a very nice, quiet environment with delicious drinks. I got the Xinjiang, which was very tasty even for someone who usually isn't the biggest cocktail person. Such comfortable seating as well - in the entire restaurant, not just the bar. I have arthritis and my back didn't hurt by the end of the 4.5 hour long meal, which is really a feat of nature. The service was also amazing. It was so much more relaxed than other fine dining restaurants I've been to - not in any way unprofessional, just much more relaxed and real. The waiters felt like people, not actors, which I really appreciated. The performative formality of fine dining restaurants can make me a bit uncomfortable, and it was so nice to have waiters who laughed with us. They explained the dishes very well, didn't talk down to us, and addressed both of us, not just my boyfriend. Onto the food...wow. what even to say? Out of 28 courses, there literally wasn't a single one that I didn't like. Every single dish was incredible - not a dud amongst them. The ones that stand out to me in particular are: the char siu, which is one of my favorite foods period, and was the tastiest renditions I've had - Perfectly crispy and sweet and savory and salty - with foi Gras - delicious; the smacked cucumber, which was so flavorful - I loved the fish roe; the steamed shrimp with mung bean noodles, perfectly cooked and so many textures; the wood ear fungus, which was mind-blowing - so much depth of flavor in one bite; the "shark fin soup" dish, which was not only delicious, but also interactive; the chrysanthemum tofu, which came in an amazing broth; and the coconut water ice dessert, which had so many amazing textures and flavors and was a delicious, refreshing way to end the meal. The fact that I could only narrow it down to 7 courses and didnt even mention the soup dumplings should really tell you something about how good this restaurant is. I haven't even mentioned the drink pairing! I got a non-alcoholic pairing, which was delicious. They matched the wines with mostly different teas and vinegars, which I loved. If you're a fan of vinegar (I am!!!), you will love this restaurant. My boyfriend got the regular wine pairing and really enjoyed it. He commented that the pours were quite generous as well. They also made him a menu for his wine list, which was very kind of them. Overall I have literally nothing bad to say about this restaurant other than the fact that 28 courses is objectively too many for one stomach. But all 28 of them were the most delicious thing I've ever eaten, so I feel like I cant complain about that at all😂

Unbelievable and Completely worth it. Had lunch and will definitely return when I can.

I contemplated not updating my review from 3-years ago, as we’ve been to A Wong many times in the past and it has always been incredible. Sadly, since getting their second star things have really gone down hill. The food feels a long way short of what it used to be. It’s not just the taste of the dishes, but some of the portion sizes seem to gotten much smaller, while the prices have sky-rocketed. The service feels far too busy and we had to remind our server of things we asked for. The restaurant layout has also changed, and seats are now quite packed outside. The experience of being seated downstairs before the lunch, and being encouraged to view and touch their awards was a bit awkward to be honest. We came to celebrate a birthday lunch… I do hope they remember who they were, as the new format is a big step backwards. One of our favourite restaurants anywhere, now average at best. I hope to edit this review in the future, if we ever go back.

Very original and delicious dinner, vegetarian tasting menu was one of the bests i have ever tried

Been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world and this might be in my top 3. Amazing menu even for vegetarians and pescatarians!

Food was absolutely stunning exceed my expectation as michelin stars restaurants

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit. Die Speisen waren sehr gut und der Service immer freundlich.

We had a la carte lunch dim sum menu. You're advised to order 8-10 menu items per person and total minimum spend is 200£ per table which is fine if you get a few cocktails and some wine. Though it is very difficult to do maths at the table if you want to stay around that amount :)) My favorite thing about the restaurant was how artistic the dim sum were. Absolutely beautiful. My favorite items were "Isle of Mull seared scallop with iberico pork", "shrimp dumpling with rice cloud vinegar", "duck yolk custard bun". However there are a few things that left us disappointed with the whole experience. Our table was booked for 2:15. You get allocated 1.5h for your table. Everything felt very rushed, there's barely a moment you can relax and enjoy your food, as staff is constantly cramming more dishes on the table while you're trying to eat. Maybe this is what lunch dim sum is but it's not for us. Having more time to enjoy each dish without interruption would feel so much nicer. Then they come and tell you that the kitchen is closing and you need to order quickly if you want more food. Don't need that kind of stress, not what I came for. The other issue is that some of the dim sum are just not good enough for a 2 star restaurant. Won ton with garlic with chilli is just so overpowering you can barely taste anything and there's an insane amount of it. The quail egg was down right inedible in my opinion. Im not even sure it was cooked properly. I will generally eat anything but this was just unpleasant. It's completely mushy and fatty and there's very little acidity coming from the sauce that comes with it. And something as simple as spring roll makes no sense. Its so big it barely fits in your mouth, very messy with all the leaves falling, theres way too little sauce for such a large spring roll and the spring roll is so hot it burns your fingers. Just come on... Overall the combined experience was OK but I wouldn't be coming back.

indrukwekkende chinese keuken. Menu van een reis door China met 28 gerechten. mooi in balans voortreffelijke smaken gereserveerd in 8 groepen van kleine gerechten. Uitstekend wijn begeleiding

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the 3 and a half hour vegetarian menu at A Wong Chinese restaurant, and I must say it was an absolute delight from start to finish! As a vegetarian, finding a restaurant that can create an extraordinary dining experience centered around plant-based cuisine can be a challenge, but A Wong exceeded all expectations. The menu showcased the chef's creativity and expertise in combining traditional Chinese flavors with innovative vegetarian ingredients. Each course was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with vibrant colors. It was evident that great care was taken in selecting the freshest produce to craft dishes that were both visually stunning and incredibly delicious. The variety of flavors and textures throughout the meal was truly remarkable. From delicate dumplings filled with a medley of vegetables to hearty stir-fried tofu with fragrant spices, every bite was a delightful surprise. The balance of flavors was impeccable, with hints of sweetness, umami, and a touch of heat that tantalized the taste buds. What impressed me the most was the restaurant's commitment to showcasing the diversity of vegetarian cuisine. Each dish paid homage to different regional Chinese culinary traditions, offering a journey through the country's rich food heritage. It was a unique opportunity to explore the flavors of China through a vegetarian lens, and I felt like I was embarking on a culinary adventure with every course. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable staff members who were passionate about the menu and provided insightful descriptions of each dish. They were also attentive to any dietary restrictions or preferences, ensuring a personalized dining experience. While the 3 and a half hour duration may seem lengthy, it only added to the overall experience. It allowed ample time to savor each dish, engage in conversation, and truly appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this extraordinary vegetarian menu. A Wong Chinese restaurant has undoubtedly raised the bar when it comes to vegetarian dining. I highly recommend this dining experience to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike who appreciate exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and a truly memorable culinary journey. It's an absolute gem that deserves all five stars and more!

It’s important to say that I have loved A.Wong for a long time - well before the coveted Michelin stars. I went last night with a friend for dinner and the food was really wonderful, we both agreed that it was the best tasting menu we’ve had - light and balanced, delicious dishes and wonderful flavours. BUT (there is always a but) 1. The plentiful staff came over multiple times to our table to ask how our journey was going. At times interrupting our conversation. Bearing in mind there are multiple courses of dishes, which are explained at table side I feel like any additional interruption should be kept to a minimum. 2. The inclusion of the iPad showing chef making noodles did nothing to enhance our experience and in fact, just felt awkward and a bit gimmicky. Unnecessary (in the main because the video is incredibly short, bad quality and doesn’t show the process wholly - because that would take hours!!) 3. Dessert in the Forbidden City. What amounts to a badly decorated, badly lit freezing cold dungeon. We left the atmosphere and ambiance and were taken downstairs to a curtained room that feels a bit temporary and ill thought out. Essentially we were relocated to allow for the next diners - essentially making the process seem… a bit conveyor belt esq. There is ZERO doubt that Chef Wongs talents are boundless in terms of his food. Removing the gimmicks and add ins and letting the food speak for itself would really elevate this experience. If none of the add ins had happened this review would literally be a raving review about how incredible the food is.

Quite simply the most fabulous “explore new flavor experiences” meal we’ve had in a long time. We eat at multiple M* restaurants per year when we travel as a way of trying new food ideas and flavors and this one is now our favorite in a the last couple years.

Un excellent restaurant, une ambiance plus relaxée et amicale qu'un étoilé en France mais un service tout aussi qualitatif. La cuisine a sans aucun doute été le critère déterminant, un grand bravo au chef et à la cuisine ! Prévoir 3,5-4h pour un budget de 250£(+100/200£ pour le vin) par convive. Enjoy!

Top ratings for a top restaurant with a top chef. Andrew has done so much so well here. The whole team is top-notch. The service, the storytelling, the attention tobevery detail is all do seamless you never miss a best or break a sweat. Then the food arrives. And nothing else matters. Beautiful creations that are as fun to look at as they are wonderfully delicious to savor. Each dish is outstanding and a honerun experience. The cumulative experience is a delightful poem or a cool drink of water on a hot day. It hots the spot in a way that is so rare these days go book a table at a.wong. you will thank me after your dinner. Don't go without a reservation. They book out 3 weeks at a time. Wow. What a treat.

A friend and I chose A Wong as a place to have a special meal together after years of not seeing each other. We requested the Collections of China tasting menu and were excited to experience it. However, our experience quickly shifted from excitement to disbelief to utter disappointment. 1. We were offered a non-alcoholic pairing for the meal. We were led to believe this was included in the cost of the meal, which of course it is not. This is secondary. More importantly, the non-alcoholic pairing was simply a collection of store bought carbonated drinks that had no direct pairing to any of the dishes we were served and no relevance whatsoever to the menu. The amount we were charged for what was essentially soda water and flavoring was completely inappropriate. 2. The staff were pleasant and attentive but the overall lack of cleanliness and care in the serving of the meal was surprising. The sommelier’s hands were filthy. There was dirt packed under his nails as he served us our drinks. Additionally, our server constantly touched the inside of our plates and our cutlery with his fingers as he explained the meal, places we would either put our food and our mouths. Plates were almost tossed on the table, drinks were spilled, food was placed so roughly on the table the plating of the dish was upset. This was not an isolated instance. It was consistent throughout the meal. It felt rushed, chaotic, and sloppy. 3. Regarding the quality of the menu itself, all I can say is that there was nothing remarkable or memorable about it for us. We came looking forward to experience a carefully crafted menu celebrating the diversity and complexity of Chinese cuisine and we were underwhelmed by almost every stage of the meal. The food itself was never warm, with the exception of one dish which was scalding hot and which we were advised to eat immediately. The truffle was tasteless, the chicken was cold and dry, the vegetables were bruised and wilted. The servers constantly spoke of how much effort the preparation of each dish required but in all honesty, the absence of care was what was most apparent. Unlike the previous points, this is merely an opinion and may hold very little weight. Nonetheless, if the meal had been even mildly enjoyable, I would not bother to write this review. It is a unique and intriguing concept AND the experience itself was unremarkable and terribly overpriced. I sent an email to A Wong with this feedback. I did not receive any acknowledgment from them.

Where to begin, amazing welcome, freindly and attentive service, spectacular food meticulously created with fusion flavours that finally gave me that WOW factor I'd searched for and never quite gotten (other Michelin resteraunts focus on consistency and not on flavours!) This was my last ditch effort and thank goodness we went here. Yes, the price is high. But when the truffle 'shavings' are as big as 50p coins it definitely feels like we got what we paid for -a special dining experience. Will definitely be returning. Thanks Chef Wong! (Sorry I called you Andrew my partner told me off afterwards for that)

Preposterous restaurant - overpriced and pretentious. We were persuaded to eat here by friends and left £600 poorer and over fed on the “taste of China”. Some of the dishes were enjoyable and well-presented, but 25+ courses is far too many and takes far too long (nearly 4 hours). Totally frustrating since we had no ability to order a la carte or opt out when we wanted to say enough!

Excellent service. Delicious food and a true discovery of Chinese cuisine.

This restaurant is like no other and they just 'get' how to look after their customers. All of the staff were welcoming and attentive and genuinely seemed happy to be doing their jobs. Nathalie was warm and engaging and made us feel like part of the family. The servers had an amazing amount of knowledge of the dishes they were serving and the history behind them. If you're looking for an exciting instagram post, this isn't the place to go. If you're looking for authentic food with amazing service, this is the place for you. Highly recommend.

Greed has limits ! Serving set menu for 2 stretch to 3 person unacceptable

Great vibes, great tasting menu. Would definitely recommend for the experience

Lovely atmosphere. Attentive waiting staff. A really lovely dining experience. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so very special, nothing was too much trouble, and our comfort and enjoyment were top of the staffs agenda, after a cocktail we were taken to our table (which was a table that could seat 4 but for the 2 of us, a great touch, they clearly knew the menu we'd ordered and seated us accordingly), then the food began to come! Wow, I have never had so many creative and so much tasty food. The selection of dim sum was out of this world, and it's reputation is well deserved! The flavours that are packed into the different mouthfuls throughout the meal were something else, combinations that I wouldn't have thought would go, just did! The spices mixed so very well, and you could identify each individual flavour as you worked through the selection. I also had the paired wines, which were so complimentary to the food, and my favourite comment from the sommelier when he brought over two glasses of wine was "have some fun with it, alternate the wines with the next 8 dim sum", so nice to be relaxed about the seriously considered food and wine in front of me! Whilst it is not the cheapest restaurant in London, it is certainly worth every penny, I have paid more for less quality before. We had lunch, and I understand the dinner menu is even better (It's certainly going to have to live up to that tough ask, but I shall certainly find out), Thank you A. Wong for a sumptuous lunch!!

我一共来这家餐厅至少五次，刚开始觉得新颖有趣，但现在觉得是又贵又难吃，菜品中不中洋不洋，分量也小的可怜。千万不要点里面的雪葩加麻薯，里面的麻薯是超市现成买来的little moon切开，作为米其林餐厅这样做非常掉价。一般餐厅免费的Petit Four这里竟然两个人要16磅。总之一句话，不要来吃。 I've been five time so far, the food taste is just getting worse and very expensive, the food portion is sadly small. They even charge petit four for 16 pound.

I cannot rate this restaurant highly enough. We went there friday for my 50th birthday and had their 'Taste of China' tasting menu - mind fully blown! Having had some incredible London dining experiences over the years and also oversees, this eclipses them all. Special praise to Roger, who offered service like no other. I wholeheartedly recommend this dining experience to anyone seeking something truly special.

I am always worry about Michelin starred Chinese restaurants outside of China, they are usually just expensive and not authentic. So I have put off coming to A Wong for ages. Some dim sum dishes are good, but some are Westernized that just doesn’t taste right. The winner of the day is definitely the Xiao Lung Bao and it is better than Ding Tai Fung, the worst dim sum on the menu is the Cheung Fun with black bean sauce, the rice skin was too thick and the sauce is over powering and you can’t taste the prawn nor the asparagus, the crab main was also a disappointment, Wagyu beef fried rice has no love and under season, don’t bother to try the Hau Gau nor siu mai, they are just expensive and nothing special. If I come back next time, I will just order loads of Xiao Lung Bao, for our monthly dim sum craving, we will just stick to our regular place

Great place, worth waiting for a spot, amazing food and very dedicated staff, loved it from A to Z! Wow what an amount of flavors!

It's got Michelin stars, awarded by greater God's than I, and, of course, you want to try it. I wouldn't heed my own advice, not to bother. £200 a head is heavy, though, even for 24 dishes. Tables for 2 aren't big enough for the serving dishes. Why not use smaller pots? But my take-home was that it didn't stimulate my taste buds beyond average. Indeed, I'd say Royal China Club on Baker Street does that better. I've no axe to grind, but fewer dishes may help add emphasis, not volume. I was surprisingly underwhelmed. Some woman decided to face time her kids from the downstairs bar loudly. She couldn't understand that class isn't about £££, it's based on not doing things that only plebs would ever do. No one at Mr Wong wanted to tell her to shut up, so I did. As I said, you've got to go Wong at least once, but I'm not sure I'd bother for a third go.

The table next door ruined the entire experience. Not only were they loud at some point, but they were smoking vape!!! and the smoke was coming to our table. We complained to our waiter, but his reaction was that it is a grey area of the law whether it is illegal or not to smoke inside a restaurant!!! Well, if you want to enjoy your expensive meal in a bad neighbourhood and smoke your vape, that's your restaurant!

This is the best Chinese restaurant outside of Asia, peerless and flawless execution

It’s been a long time since my wife and I were this blown away during a dining experience. Everything was honestly so well put together. There was a great selection of wines by Coravin and some of the dishes were incredibly tasty and had brilliant textures too. Great to see a non-Eurocentric dining experience with two stars! You’d be hard pushed to find anything similar in London. Expensive, but worth it.

We had a lovely dinner here for a anniversary and it was such a lovely environment to be in. Andrew came out and had a chat with us and talked us though his pecking duck creation which was amazing. We really enjoyed our food here and would definitely come back again.

Very rare to have a nice high-end fine dining with authentic Chinese food. The century egg is so good, all food is tasty.

Delicious food, amazing service, was cool to see Andrew working the pass. 5/7 better than the dark night.

28 courses dinner is amazing. Best Chinese restaurant. Love the concept. Authentic but also full of creativity.

Our experience was good. Very friendly staff and service. Delicious food and a good experience. Just the price is a little bit high but for occasional dinner events shall be accepted.

Food and service were perfection

Absolutely outstanding dining experience! The food quality and service is unparalleled! You are missing out if you don’t try it!

I loved this restaurant when it first opened, it was so good, finally tasted the traditional dim sum in London. Went again after Covid it was so disappointing, the food was not good and the waiter was rude, what happen to Andrew Wong????? Price is not a problem if is good food and service, but this is just a joke now

Brilliant. Service warm, friendly, knowledgeable. Menu exceptional. The journey through China was theatrical and magnificent

I took my partner for her birthday last night to experience the collections of china tasting menu. We have experienced a variety of Michelin starred establishments and I can honestly say that the serving team were up there with the best. Not only were they professional but made the whole experience fun which I think is as equally important as the quality of the food. The menu boasted a variety of cooking styles, flavours and textures, the only word that comes close to describing it is Exceptional! You can see that Mr Wongs passion and dedication runs through the entire restaurant, it’s not surprising that it has two stars. If you do decide to go then make sure you do not eat before as you will not leave hungry!! We will definitely return.

Great take out food for neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Eat their take out about 2-3 a week, great value for money.

😍💖Wow. The flavours. The choice. The presentation. The service. Im so grateful to my wonderful partner who managed to get a booking here. We got the lunch. It was stunning. The waiters were charming. The bamboo noodles was my favourite, i think. Urgh and the smacked cucumber. And the wonton dish. The atmosphere at the bar (where we were sat) was a bit overwhelming as there was constant service traffic, and we were right in front of the entrance door.

Dined at A Wong last week and what a truly amazing culinary journey it was, we went for the Taste of China menu, 25 dishes with over 100 ingredients, absolutely sublime. Fantastic flavours and Chinese food like I've never had before. Such a hidden gem in an unsuspecting street in Victoria. The service was incredible, all the staff are so welcoming and accommodating, Ben made our night he is a true credit to A Wong, he was fantastic. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening

每道菜总是能在意想不到的地方给你惊吓。感觉只学到中餐的形，完全没学到神。为什么虾饺上要放打成泡沫的醋？干蒸上为什么要放豆豉？鲜味全被遮盖住的。这小笼包完全不知道是个什么鬼。两道写着肠粉的菜，估计没有一个广东人会认为那是肠粉。红油抄手，让我感觉厨师是盐王爷，想直接把我送走。每道菜都有槽点，就不一一吐槽了。总结一下，金玉其外。

Getting fleeced by these prices.

I understand some of the other reviews about the lead up to actual reservation being a little impersonal (1.5 hour slot, quite a high minimum spend, not catering for food allergies etc). But by the time we walked through the doors it’s a high quality service (and we were asked if we had any dietary requirements after all!) and all is forgiven. Food was great. We were recommended between 9-10 dishes. Which was spot on. Nice little carafe of Riesling and a couple of cocktails. £125 a head. Highlight for me was the clear shrimp dumpling with “rice vinegar cloud”, honey roasted Iberico croustade … and the steamed duck yolk custard bun for the finale! It’s a special occasion place for sure … pricey but considering the quality of the food and that it is 2 ⭐️ ⭐️ … kinda makes sense.

Worst service I’ve ever had at a two star restaurant. The service was so slow that we waited a whole hour to get the last course and the check. We repeatedly ask them to just bring the check and they nodded but didn’t comply. They try to be upscale but all they’ve managed to do is mangle the cuisine
