Nulla dei classici ristoranti cinesi di alto livello: qui la Cina è cultura, origini, tradizioni ma i piatti escono dalle mani di uno chef che di tecnica ne ha da vendere e di originalità pure: così ne esce un menù che stupisce per una cena che non ti aspetti, piena di piccoli piatti incredibili, di una bontà assoluta, tutti abbinati tra loro in modo sapiente. Sei portate formate ciascuna da vari piccoli piatti, talvolta un sol boccone ma sempre una scoperta di qualcosa mai mangiato prima e che vorresti rimangiare presto di nuovo. L’abbinamento di vini è originale e anche impegnativo, un po’ da tutti il mondo, compreso un vino armeno sorprendente. Servizio al top, attento e curato nei dettagli con spiegazioni di tutto ciò che viene portato e qualche battuta piacevole e gradita. Conto molto elevato, ma siamo a Londra e in un ristorante top. Nulla da dire; cena semplicemente memorabile.

I was looking forward to 4 people eating here but overall I was left disappointed. It wasn’t the experience a 2 star restaurant should be. We were shuffled into a dark basement on arrival thinking this was our dining area. Whilst we ordered cocktails the service was disinterested as we didn’t want vintage champagne. The food/ drinks menu on the website is less in terms of variety is incorrect . A guest ordered a £18 glass of red wine. It was clearly “ off “ to everyone on the table. Took 30 minutes to replace it despite asking multiple times The lunch time tasting menu was good but a bit “ gimmicky” but overly dessert orientated so after spending £1200 for 4 for lunch we were left hungry but feeling sick and felt our £ would be spent better elsewhere. I wouldn’t return

Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Tisch mit Blick auf die offene Küche. - Wir nahmen das Degustationsmenu, am Schluss waren es 31 Gänge! Jedes Gericht optisch sehr schön offeriert und vom sehr freundlichen Service erklärt. Alle Gerichte waren fein, gut gewürzt, diverse Texturen, aromatisch. - Die Weine - wie in London leider üblich - sehr teuer. - Leider kommt am Schluss noch 15 % service charge auf die Rechnung.

Super lunch at amazing A Wong. 4th visit and they just get better and better. Team made fuss of us: Iris organised our booking and John welcomed us as returning stars. Michael is exceptional sommelier / such a fun character. Dim Sum some of best in world alongside Man Wah and Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong. A peculiar location opposite a Sainsbury’s in Pimlico, but once inside such a great experience. Only two star restaurant in London where a bottle of wine and sumptuous food don’t require second mortgage. Thank you Andrew & Nat.

By far the best Chinese/Mandarin restaurant I've been to in the world. I've been here four times and it just get's better and better each time... I've been a patron since the days when Andrew's parents had the previous restaurant and it's totally incredible what Andrew and his team have done and how they consistently deliver on extremely high expectations. The only place I can compare this, even remotely to is the Man Wah at the MOHK. A previous reviewer compared A. Wong to Hakkasan. It's like comparing a Ferrari to a Prius...

This was our second visit to A Wong. They were extremely helpful as they had to cancel our booking, but arranged to swap nights with another restaurant we were going to later in the week so that we were still able to go. We had pre-dinner drinks in the small bar downstairs and were then seated in the restaurant. The staff were very efficient and knowledgeable and introduced each dish explaining what region of China it was from and in what order to eat them. We mentioned the charismatic waiter who had served us last year and "Uncle Ben" came through to see us and also bade us goodbye when we left. The food was very good, although I preferred the Menu of Five Movements which we had last year. Just my personal preference, but my taste buds became a little overwhelmed as so many of the dishes had strong individual flavours. However we will definitely go again.

Instead of the more relaxed dim sum lunch, which is the best in London, we reserved the classic tasting menu for the evening, and it was almost a three hour experience. Just when you thought they had given you the best tasting bitelet you’d had in your entire life, they would serve you something even tastier. It was truly decadent the way it went on and on for hours as the surprises kept coming. The kitchen team is genius. We sat at the bar, with a view of the open kitchen and watched them work. We chatted with several waiters and with the charming and beautiful Mrs A Wong, who was serving part of the time. It is their family business and she is a formidable person and a perfectioness in her own right. We always have something to talk about, so the hours passed nicely as we were barraged by 28 different dishes, each one different, all well presented, with some bordering on the highly elaborate but all of them shamelessly good. It’s hard to single anything out, everything was excellent. The bill is as eyewatering as the food is mouthwatering, but by then you don’t care because it’s actually good value for the effort they’ve put into it. I am not sure why anyone would ever give them a bad review or less than three Michelin stars. Everything throughout the entire experience was exceptional and praiseworthy. We’ve been coming for about ten years, and have watched them evolve into being one of the top handful of best in the world. It’s a good idea to skip lunch if you are headed to A Wong for dinner.

The service was excellent and we had the pleasure of meeting several staff members who were all so knowledgable and professional. We went for the prestige wine pairing which was spectacular. Each wine matched perfectly with each course. Beautiful interiors and beautiful night overall.

A Wong is a good Chinese restaurant and certainly one of the best in the UK, there’s no doubt about that, the food is presented nicely and the menu is imaginative enough, but I wasn’t blown away by the flavours by any means. I do personally think two stars from Michelin is quite generous. I had the evening tasting menu and it must be said that the dim sum is probably the best in the UK and the noodle dish was very good also, but everything else for me didn’t stand out at all, it was dish after dish of forgettable things. Having eaten in every single Michelin starred Chinese restaurant in the UK as well as the perfect one but should be two Michelin starred Shang Palace in Paris, I unfortunately cannot say A Wong is drastically better than the two Hakkasan locations or Kai that it deserves an extra star. Michelin award restaurants stars for culinary achievement but it has to be said that service, decor and even location can sway inspectors in a certain direction to believing a restaurant is better than it truly is. Which puzzles me as to why this restaurant is two Michelin stars when the food doesn’t stand out whatsoever and considering, as a previous review mentioned, it’s quite frankly poor location, premises, decor and not so perfect level of service. Considering Alex Dilling and Claude Bosi are two of the greatest restaurants in the country at the moment and are outperforming all the three stars, how A Wong can be the same star rating as them is poor judgment on Michelin’s behalf. The cost of the evening tasting menu is also grossly overpriced considering most dishes are tapas like in size (though so are L’Enclume’s so this may be a modern trend). For me, A Wong is not that different to Kai or the two Hakkasans and isn’t worth the extra cost at all, especially in the evening. It would be better to go in the daytime for dim sum and à la carte. A good restaurant but by no means a two Michelin starred restaurant sadly.

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!

Unfortunately we live in Los Angeles or we would live at A Wong. We build our trips to London around eating the incredible dishes. I enjoy most Chinese food but this is way beyond any other Chinese food that we have had. Andrews gets two Michlin stars. He deserves three! I would give him five stars on a grade up to three stars. The rooms are delightful and tables are not squeezed together. The service is first class. Every person knows and carries out their job. They explain the different dishes. Nathalie, Andrew’s wife greets everyone and treats them like family. Roger Gibbons the general manager does the same thing. The staff, Ben helped us by taking pictures of us. Tashi remembered us from prior visits. Vaibhav and Jouves were our main servers. They were really great. Shelly also remembered us from prior visits. She was terrific. Michael the sommelier is so knowledgeable about Wine and helped select the best options. He is wonderful! Andrew Wong himself is extremely talented. He brings together food combinations from many parts of China. He is certainly not aloof. He is humble. What a treat for being a chef of his caliber. The first of the three days was dim sum lunch. Let first say that the food is indescribable in that there are so many incredible flavors blended together. My wife had the crispy spring roll lettuce wrap. She enjoyed it. Then she had the black pepper beef, whispy pastry with tamarind with dried shrimp caramel. Loved it! Followed by the forbidden city sweetcorn, wagu beef meat paste and black truffle. Salt and pepper French bean fritters. She loved this so much she could not wait to have it again on Saturday lunch. She finished with Wagu beef and lettuce fried rice and oyster emulsion. I had the pork and prawn dumpling with king crab, smoked tofu and lemon grass broth. It was phenomenal! Then the clear shrimp dumpling with sweet chili sauce and a rice vinegar cloud. So far I am dying and going to food heaven. Next I had the Cantonese kitchen barbecue pork crackling with prawn, plum and truffle. How does Andrew dream up such amazing food combinations? Let alone then produce them. Next abalone flaky tart with aged balsamic vinegar. Fabulous! 999 layered scallop puff with xo sauce. Yes another winner. Crab claw with tomato and wasabi. I loved it! Next was my absolute favorite. Garlic steamed wild tiger prawn, mung bean noodles and superior soy. OMG!!!! We had the steamed duck yolk custard bun. Heaven in a bun! Friday evening dinner was prefix and I left my notes at the restaurant. But let me reassure you everything was out of this world. I did post pictures of each dish for Friday. We went down stairs to a special room for dessert. I posted pictures of each dessert. All were special. Saturday we returned for dim sum lunch and selected some of the same dishes from our first lunch. Then we added some new dishes. First new dish wasIsle of Mull seared scallop and honey glazed Iberico pork cheung fun. Followed by bamboo pole noodles with king crab and spring onion-oil. These two dishes were fabulous. As you can tell I love everything about eating here. I encourage everyone to come here. Just leave me room for when my wife and I come to London. Thank you A Wong. I hope that I did not leave anyone out because everyone is terrific.

I preface this by saying that I have been lucky enough to dine at many, many Michelin star restaurants, including a great number of two and three star restaurants. So I do not write this from a place of ignorance. In short, for the accolades, reputation and price point, we expected better in all areas: location, restaurant, service and food. Location - unfortunately not a great location, the street is very tired and run down and the neighbours are mostly cheap businesses and bars. Restaurant - the restaurant started off as a small family business in 1985, and unfortunately you can tell. The layout isn’t great for a luxury restaurant, with a very tired front conservatory area which really feels second-rate and cheap (we felt very sorry for those dining in that area) and another area which although better decorated still felt cramped with a poor flow of staff. Service - Okay, but poor for a Michelin starred restaurant. The level of information about the dishes was very high, which is great, however it often went on for so long that by the time the explanation had finished the food was cold! Some of the dishes on our dessert course which were frozen had almost entirely melted before we even got to taste them. There really needs to be more awareness from service that the food is being negatively impacted by the excessively long playing/introductions. We also had a ‘dedicated’ server, which is fine up until the point where you’re trying to ask that person for more rice for quite some time, only to find that they’re off giving one of the lengthy introductions to another table, and eventually just giving up. Food - Average. We opted for the 28 course collections of China menu, and really hoped to be blown away, but honestly it was a mix. There were some great dishes with well put together flavours and textures, but a fair number of ones that didn’t quite hit the mark for us. Fair enough, arguably you could chalk some of these down to personal preference, but really it felt lacking for a supposed two Michelin star experience. What is unequivocally unacceptable is the sheer number of hot dishes that were served lukewarm or turned cold before even being started due to the excessively long serving process and equally long introductions (for example the rice, perhaps the easiest dish to cook, was almost stone cold). All in all, we expected better and felt it was poor value for money. If you compare to other two Michelin star restaurants in London which are similarly priced (for example La Dame de Pic or The Ledbury) it is really lacking in all areas.

Chef Andrew Wong and Chef Albert Adrià created an exciting collaboration last night ⭐️💛⭐️ Spanish ingredients meet the art of Chinese dim sum. Fab food, signed menu, great experience. Now empty pockets 😀🥂🍾 The highlights for me were: the olive 🫒 that turned into an egg; the bubbly (almost 20 years old); the dim sum, and the Chefs. Plus being a Spanish speaker, I understood what was happening in the kitchen and I got a big smile from Albert 👍 One negative critique is that the bathroom is old and scruffy and when you are spending more money on dinner than flights to Dubai, I would expect a cleaner sparkling, new bathroom. #AWong #albertadria #dimsum #2023 #domperignon #elbulli

This was my second visit to Hunan Terrace, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. The experience was amazing, with every detail improving upon the last. Our waiter, Andrii, was incredibly kind and professional, making us feel truly welcome. The owner and manager also made a point to ensure we had a wonderful time. The menu is impressive, offering a wide variety of options for pescatarians, vegetarians, and those who enjoy fish and meat. The food and service at Hunan Terrace continue to surprise and delight me. I'll definitely be coming back!

I made a reservation in advance and arrived at noon on a weekday, so it wasn't busy. Pork belly and chicken soup, the soup is thick and white, with a strong peppery taste. The three-piece roasted duck, roasted chicken, and barbecued pork are probably pretty good in London, but in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, the quality is average. Didn't taste the way I expected. The shrimp fried rice is very delicious. The shrimps are elastic and the rice has distinct grains. The rice is fragrant and the egg is fragrant in your mouth. The stir-fried bean sprouts are tender and fresh. It is said that many of the waiters here are international students with master's degrees and bloggers, and their service is very cautious.

We have eaten here a number of times and the service has always been good. Today however, we asked for a table on the ground floor which was confirmed. We waited 5-10 minutes for it be cleared and prepared when a senior male waiter came over and shouted for us to go upstairs. I told him we had a table already and he shouted ‘don’t you understand? Get upstairs’. I said we just wanted the table we’d been waiting for. He told me numerous times he was IN CHARGE and quickly became aggressive and intimidating. This went on and on. We then left the restaurant and had a lovely meal elsewhere where we weren’t screamed at. The rudest restaurant encounter I’ve ever had. We will not be visiting ever again.

In Chinatown there is one Chinese restaurant next to another, which is why it is not easy to choose. We chose the Haozhan restaurant because there was still some space outside. Unfortunately, the quality of the food is not good, the meat was tough and the noodles were, in our opinion, instant noodles. The service was okay, but you always had the feeling that the space should be freed up as quickly as possible. We then gave a hefty tip of around 12% on the bill, without our consent. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant; you should rather visit one of the numerous other locations.
