Mrs Wong's in Lambeth

This listing needs to be changed to reflect that this restaurant is not Mrs Wong's. It went under new ownership and changed its name to 'Cozy Woods' many years ago. All the more recent and largely negative reviews reflect this new restaurant, not the Streatham institution that was Mrs Wong's, and frankly they are a stain on the good name of what was once an incredibly beloved community favourite. Cozy Woods, stop trying to capitalise on the reputation and goodwill built up by the real Mrs Wong's over many decades. Much love to the original owners and staff.

excellent food.the food was very good and i was throughly impresssed with the time it was delivered.Will be back very soon.

The food is good but Mrs Wong would be rolling in her grave!

First time going here since living in the area for a couple of years. Don’t let the negative reviews put you off, staff were friendly and helpful, food was tasty and good quality and didn’t cost a fortune. Highly recommend and I will return.

Probably one of the worst restaurants I've eaten at in a very long time! Food was disgusting, didn't feel fresh and tasted bland. Only one person was working there, who we had to shout for many times as he would go in the back and eat his own food. It is now the next day and I have very bad food poisoning hence why the food definitely was not fresh. Please stay away from this horrible place they don't care!

Cozy place and tasty food. I love their crispy noodles 10/10.

First time using them, and I was not disappointed. Lovely tasty food and good portions size. I will use them again!

the food was horrible, 90% of the dish was rice, there were no vegetables, the meat had a horrible taste, if you want good food, buy it at Slurp which is 100% better

We had takeaway but we'll sit in next time - cosy, clean and charming. Great staff- lovely polite gentleman there who took our order smoothly and was informative. The food was banging. Absolutely lovely Chinese, will come again.

Have ordered from here a few times and food has always been pretty tasty with a good variety of vegetables. Unfortunately today the sweet and sour pork arrived with half cooked and half raw pieces. We didn't realise we were playing gastro russian roulette until having already eaten a few pieces. Won't be using this restaurant again, unfortunately they've really let themselves down

Food poisoning for anyone who even looks at this food. Stay as far away as possible!

I order food last Saturday evening. The food never arrived, they didn't answer my calls at that time. Another day I called again and they were extremely rude and hanged up on me. They said the rider had a photo with my receipt in my address but refused to send me that photo or tell at what time that order was delivered. Please be aware that they use the name LEE WONG oil Deliver, probably to hide the bad reviews in here... Avoid at any cost, dishonest business.

Ordered food today . Absolutely dreadful. Very dry tasteless. WentSpent 30 pounds .most of it went in the bin .won't be ordering from there again.

Chinese food at best price in the area ,good food and good service

I bought food at this restaurant 3 times. I was sick for hours all of them. The food doesn’t taste that good and the hygiene must be lacking all around the place.

Terrible terrible terrible I spent £21 in food noodles over cooked prawns loads of onions about 6 prawns shredded beefs burn and no beef this is not a joke for someone hard earn money. They are WICKED THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS I order from Uber eats

Unfortunately the review I wrote five years ago below is for the previous owners and is in no way a reflection of the downfall of what WAS the best Chinese I had ever been to. It has dropped horrifically in standard of food and staff, such a shame. Amazing food from a long standing family run restaurant. I now go here weekly and I can hand on heart say I have never had such fresh, tasty food from a Chinese. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the fact that its BYOB means you cant run up a large bill! I would recommend the beef and black bean sauce and salt and chilli chicken wings. Amazing place

Some of the best Chinese takeaway I've ever gotten even at such a low price!

Disappointing that I needed to speak with someone and the person answering the phone couldn’t speak English. I ordered with Uber Eats and the driver was stupidly late picking up the order so it arrived cold. Complained to Uber got only got cut n paste replies. Mrs Wongs food is cheaper than others in the area, taste good, but often lacking as much meat as other restaurants.

The food is horrible! Tasted stale and dirty. spat out the one spoon I put in my mouth. This shop needs to be shut down! For them to renovate and re-strategize . Total waste of money! Absolute rip off!

Ordered through Uber Eats. Usually very tasty and good portions. This evening I had my granddaughter over and we where very disappointed. Fried rice tastless. Thai curry fatty and awful. Very very disappointed.

I ordered this form Uber eats and I am highly disappointed. This is meant to be a Thai curry. I do not recommend

The food was really stale, especially the prawn crackers. The egg fried rice and prawn toast was tasteless and the sweet and sour pork was fried fat rather than actual pork. The special fried noodles has chunks of meat in there and some of it looked undercooked. Really disappointing experience.

Cheap price bad food...... no fresh ingredient, can’t tell their raw food have been stored how long and where they purchased it from, if your budget lower than £10 of course it is your best decision BUT i rather take that £10 to eat a Vietnam PHO at Tam. If you want to have dinner with family or your partner you better going somewhere else. I can’t say it low quality just you know low price cost have their reasons. Not for me to deal with this restaurant.

We used to eat here before the lockdowns. Since then I’ve been using Mrs Wong via Uber Eats. The food is delivered hot and on time and the quality is excellent, the menu is varied for all tastes. Overall I am very pleased

Amazing food, just isn't the look of the front of the store in the pictures here and online so we constantly drove around for a good 20 minutes which isn't easy around Streatham. This needs to be updated! Other than that best food as usual.

Ahora debería llamarse Mrs Wrongs, solía ser el mejor restaurante chino en kilómetros a la redonda con un personal y una comida fantásticos. Ha cambiado de manos, le dimos otra oportunidad recientemente después de una comida deprimente, pero ahora es una tragedia. Evitar.

Llevamos años comiendo aquí, llevándonos nuestro propio vino y cerveza. La comida es excelente, especialmente los platos de sal y chile. No es un entorno glamoroso, pero excelente comida barata y servicio educado.

We were there on the 07.02.2020 after a long delibaration to try the food after the restaurant changed owners. Wow, we were in for a shocking expeience. Everything what could go wrong went wrong. Atmosphere nil! No warm welcome from staff. Menues on laminated sheets??? Service slow and with no attention to the paying guest. Food arrived cold and tasteless. We paid cash, as this is the only option and left hungry and very disappointed. What has happened to this once so well established restaurant? Such a shame. Will never be back. 100% not worth the money.

Este restaurante, que ha existido durante años, era bueno, tal vez hace 10 años, la comida ahora se sirve fría, no me importa la actitud, el servicio es lento e incompetente con muchos restaurantes en Streatham, este es, de lejos, el peor. pruebe cualquier otro chino en la ciudad, pero evite aquí a menos que quiera decepcionarse y desperdiciar su dinero

1 star only and because the food was not that bad, however the state of the premises was absolutely disgusting from the tea pots to where the sauces were placed, it look like it hasn't been clean since last November, it made me wonder what else was dirty, i had to use the facilities and my oh my, it was worst than the tea pots. This place is lacking of cleanliness, ASAP. What a disappointment.

I was quite impressed with the takeaway we had overall. The chicken satay skewers and spring rolls were very good. The fried udon noodles and the fried chilli chicken were good except I was expecting them to be more fried than they were. The food wasn’t greasy which is good. Prices were reasonable. I will order again to try more on the menu.

The best chinese in Streatham that hasn't changed for 30 years

I love the butterfly prawns quik service

Good Chinese takeaway in the Streatham area. Normally order online but decided to pop in to takeaway. They only take cash but the menu selection is good and portion sizes are on the larger size. Only downside is the amount of prawns they use in king prawn dishes, 5 is a low amount considering most dishes cost a fiver plus. A pound per prawn is a bit outrageous!

We ordered takeaway for the first time when we had friends over on the weekend and our expectations were not high. We had such a pleasant surprise. The delivery was quick and the food was pipping hot. We had half a duck with pancakes, chicken in satay sauce, special fried rice, Chilli beef, Special pad Thai and another main course I can't remember. All the dishes tastes great and were not greasy. We will definitely order from Mrs Wong again

Previously the best value Chinese in the area, but food quality has slipped a bit and the 30% off for pick up deal is sadly no longer. We now go to another place up the road - bit more expensive but food quality significantly better. Mrs Wong's is still OK, but it's on a bit of a slide.

I got a delivery order and honestly the worst I have tasted. I had a duck dish and it tasted like someone dropped too much salt instead of remaking the dish they sent it anyway. The rice was bad and the chow main was very oily. I won't be ordering again

Went for my birthday, we were the only people in restaurant. Very bland and uninspiring setting. Have been going to Mrs Wongs for over 30 years and we were very disappointed with the meal. Food was reasonably tasty and must say was very hot but unfortunately we will not we returning. We were told most of the service is now in the take away business.

Sadly Mrs Wongs, once a real Streatham pearl and one of the few byo places left, is not the place it used to be. Guy behind the counter totally ignored our arrival and continued his phone conversation then disappeared. Eventually a nice lady appeared and took the order. £3 for a small basket of prawn crackers!!! Ridiculous. The deep fried crispy prawns have been replaced by some cheap breadcrumbed abomination of butterflied prawn with tiny chilli sauce- dry and tasteless. Crispy duck and pancakes average. Vegetable rice ok and thai noodle dish ok. No thanks from waiter at end though only one other table occupied. ..must have interrupted his conversation and customers an inconvenience. Sad to have Mrs Wongs such a bad experience. ..won't be going back or ordering takeaway. Streatham full of eateries. ..don't bother with this.

Ordered roast duck to takeaway with egg fried rice to. Very disappointed. Duck came back swimming in some unknown source with a few skimpy pieces and egg fried rice tasteless .

It's average. Reduction for collection and cash

Reasonably priced and BYOB. However, increasingly concerned about hygiene.

So many things wrong, My mother booked a table for 6 people for my grandmothers 76th birthday for 17:30. When we arrived the gentleman had no idea that a reservation was booked, and wasn’t expecting us, my mother had to show him the confirmation on her phone. The gentleman found it difficult taking our order he kept repeating it back wrong on 4 accounts, I ended up taking the pen and paper from him and taking my family’s order. 18:00 the gentlemen is still struggling to place the order through to the kitchen 18:30 loads of food is leaving the kitchen for delivers we have nothing. 18:45 we get our starters it was enable 2x Crispy shredded chicken with salt and chilli 19:00 my grandmother got hers duck noddles my auntie food came it was the wrong order.my Grans says that she only had two bits of duck and the rest is fatty. That was end we left told my gran we are going we needed up at her house with a good Chinese take away. We will never go back. Can’t submit without a rating that’s a damn shame

Sublime. Butterfly prawns ALL day long!! One of my utter favourite restaurants. I travel from far and wide to revisit Mrs. Wong’s.

Five stars because of the price. Food is reasonable (great salt and pepper ribs, hot and sour soup), but if you collect rather than have delivery, you get a massive 30% off your bill, making it the cheapest takeaway around and for that, the quality is pretty good. Service is always friendly and efficient too.

This was by far the best local Chinese restaurant in Streatham, until recently. Noticed a sudden big change to the food quality, and found out that it has been taken over by new management/owners? Unfortunately after my last visit, I will not be returning. They should have changed the name and let people know.

Average food not unpleasant but not like we use to have. Sad to say it's not as good as it was and not Mrs wongs like I remember

The food is always extremely good! Great portions, very good value for money, served piping hot and service time is good. Whenever I meet friends for a chinese in Streatham, we always end up at Mrs Wong’s. Small place but good atmosphere and attention to service is better as it’s smaller. Even better as you can take your own alcohol to keep the cost down even more. Defiantly recommend to anyone!

After going here for 25 years, Mrs Wongs is no longer! I think when a restaurant changes hands they should tell the customers. We had to send back an order twice and it was still wrong, waitress didnt understand and the item that we had gone there for they no longer do. Wont be going back.

We were loyal customers for over 30 years. The food and service always good. Last nights take away was disgusting - nothing like the quality and cooking skills evident before. New owners apparently. Will not be going there again.

We went to Mrs Wongs after last having been there a few weeks ago before it shut down for a short period for "redecoration" (the only noticeable change being that you now enter through a central door (previously always shut) rather than through a side door and corridor) only to discover a new woman in charge and a very different menu. It is now a flat laminated sheet and apart from a number of starters all the items are one plate or one bowl dishes such as duck on rice or soup noodles. Good value for money, but not a Chinese restaurant as it used to be where you could choose a number of main courses and share in the traditional way. I think this change may be a result of the place struggling after the change of ownership a little while back, but I am not sure that turning it into a much more basic place is really the answer. You never went there for the fancy decor, and now that it encourages a quick in and out eating experience, the attraction for us is compromised. It is however still BYOB and as far as I can tell there was no corkage charge. Not sure if we will be rushing back, but we will keep it in mind for take always, which still seemed to be popular. Also not sure if their change to a cash only establishment will help them in the new world of contactless payments.

I live just behind this place and used to go very often. Today I was there and found out by one of the staff that the management has changed. After receive what I order I realised everything has changed. The taste of the meat was absolutely horrible. The staff called a lady who did not offered me other option. I had to leave without eating anything. Great deception!

One of those surprising little gems. I found on a random day out whilst hungry. Food is amazing and served quickly. Really small but really nice.

Has recently changed owners, worth a visit solely to experience the Chinese equivalent of Fawlty Towers! 😂

DO NOT ORDER VIA JUST EAT (or at all for that matter), unless you enjoy a big plate of disappointment. I ordered on Just Eat and chose to collect. I had done a long day at work and was incredibly hungry and would have eaten pretty much anything at this point. I decided to order from Mrs Wongs. I paid and got a reference number online. I went to collect for the time it said, only to find the staff looking confused and telling me no order was placed. I informed them of my reference number and told them the money was taken and their restaurant is all over google on Just Eat which are still taking orders and transactions. They informed me there was nothing they can do and it was not their fault. They said if I wanted the food I had to pay again as they cannot refund. After much debate, knowing it was late and I had walked here and the fact I was stupidly hungry, I stupidly reordered and paid AGAIN. I told them it was out of order to charge someone again, as this could be happening to many people. The food was horrible when I got home, I chucked one curry dish in the bin as it congealed and was full of lumps. This was an expensive waste of time to say the least after paying twice for such rubbish. It looked inedible. After the confusing and poor customer service that was almost funny because if you didn't laugh you'd cry, and lack of ability to resolve the issue or even attempt to, I was too put off to even eat by this point. They even put the manager on their own phone to my ear whilst he told me it wasn't his fault. He also said on the phone I can't have a refund or have the food at no further cost. This was an absolute joke, even a couple that was sat in the restaurant spoke to me when I left and said how much it had changed. The food was apparently bland and "not what it used to be". I complained on Just Eat who contacted the restaurant, and they claimed the restaurant stated nobody came to collect anything at that time which was a complete lie. They will have remembered me coming, it wasn't exactly busy and it was within the hour. If all of the staff have memory loss they shouldn't be taking orders. Maybe the order was placed and they just forgot? Or maybe they forgot they use Just Eat? They definitely forgot what customer service was and how to make good quality food. I will not be ordering from here again. Do not use just Eat to order from here. Ridiculous.

Went to Mrs Wongs for the first time yesterday. Food excellent and lots of it too. They let us take our leftovers home. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back and/or ordering takeaway.

Ohhhh, we use to love this restaurant for years and was very happy to see they started home delivery. But......food is not tasting like it’s was before. Curry on plain fried noodles..... horrible.....! Lemon chicken like a rubber and so dry. 1 item missing from the order, promised to be delivered with in 5 min when I called but never get it. The lady on the phone never apologise for missing item , she was continued talking to some one on Chinese language and drop a phone on me. Even when she ask manager to call me he was arguing with me about my order, trying to convince me with something that I never ordered but realised at the end he got a different customer order. Seriously....... Absolutely fuming about this service and food . Waist of £35 pound . I am a disabled person just wanna treat my self and my son on Saturday evening but unfortunately have to stay hungry. Never ever again.

I had been going to this place for the last 10-15 yrs and the food quality WAS great. I ordered for the first time yesterday and i was VERY VERY disappointed. I will NEVER eat here again. I ordered CHICKEN spring rolls and instead i got Pork. Im allergic to pork. I ordered prawn "balls", which was also disgusting and the batter wasn't even cooked inside. The WHOLE meal was abismal. Would not recommend NOBODY eat from here. I had been reading the reviews and now i realise they have changed owner so thats why the food is disgusting. Never again.

Traditional (British) Chinese restauran

Since it changed owner it has not been the same

Yesterday, Sunday, we went for lunch at Mrs Wongs, 16 adults and 2 children. To help the restaurant I pre-ordered our food telling them them exactly what we wanted to eat and in what order. Everything was cooked to perfection and served piping hot. All of us had,as always, duck and pancakes to start with, followed by lots of different dishes from the menu, a whole steamed fish, sweet & sour fish, squid with spring onion and ginger, deep fried squid with chilli, sweet & sour chicken, chicken with cashew nuts & yellow Bean Sauce, Sliced Barbeque Filet Pork, Deep fried Shredded Beef with Chilli & sauce, Beef with Black Bean Sauce, Lemon Chicken a couple of other dishes, served with Malaysian Rice Stick Noodles and Special fried rice. As you can see we had a large selection from the menu, everything we had was absolutely delicious. The staff were attentive, nothing was too much trouble. I am so glad after a shakey start we decided to return, as it is now, once again, a family favourite. I would advise if you are a large party to try and help by preordering, having worked in a restaurant I know how much this helps the kitchen. Thank you Mrs Wongs for a wonderful lunch.

The welcome here is very lukewarm and the service is not much better. The Thai green vegetable curry did not bear much resemblance to anything I've ever come across in Thailand - more like a watered down, gloopy imitation and the glass of flat Pepsi was equally disappointing. I have no plans to return any time soon.

A bland and generic Chinese restaurant serving canned, frozen foods and heating it up for your pleasure. Prioritises poor souls ordering takeaway whilst you wait quietly in an unattractive, featureless dining room. Fried foods overly greasy, steamed foods mushy and textureless. Avoid at all costs, somehow worse than the San Bao Kitchen in Hammersmith!

Excellent Chinese food. It's had a change of ownership recently and although the food is not the 6 star of 5 it used to be, still well worth a visit. Much better than most of the Chinese restaurants I've been to in the past. Including Chinatown

I too have been a customer of Mrs Wongs too for many years and, as mentioned by previous reviewers it has recently been taken over by new management. The menu is the same, pricing the same, still BYO which makes it a very affordable night out. I have been several times now since it has been taken over, there was initially a bit of a problem with one of the staff who is no longer there. The previous staff had been there for many years, they were very professional and absolutely knew all their customers, they rightfully earned their excellent reputation. The new management are more reserved and sometimes there is a lack of communication, not because of rudeness but because of language comprehension, plus they are finding their feet. The food is still great, the portions the same as previously. I got chopsticks and bowl with no problem at all. This week we had duck and pancakes, delicious. The duck crispy skin and moist, followed by Malaysian rice stick noodles, special fried rice, sweet and sour fish all were cooked to perfection. I will be returning on Sunday. This is still a local gem, the price cannot be beaten, to be able to bring your own alcoholic drinks is a real bonus. I think the new management should be given a chance, they are more reserved, but give them time to get to know you and you will find them very helpful and very obliging. We are extremely lucky to have such a good value for money restaurant. Thank you new Mrs Wongs!

Me dio una oportunidad y en un aspecto no era una mejora (un nuevo camarero que era amable y buena) pero en general me gustó la señora Wongs para disfrutar de una buena comida a un excelente precio. La comida ha matado por mí. Calidad de Carne comestible pobres de todo, fideos aburrida y falta de condimento al otro lado de la junta dejando todo soso. El pato crujientes tortitas tuvimos que empezar eran realmente muy bonito, pero no puedo recomendar el lugar justo para eso.

My family has been going to Mrs Wong for over 20 years. It was always the best Chinese in London imo, great food, the staff used to be fantastic, friendly, the food was always delicious. Well this change of management has been for the worst and I've told my family Mrs Wong as we know it is gone. I really wouldn't recommend this new version - the food was bland and tasteless (like it hadn't been seasoned), for example, the satay chicken is completely different to what you would expect if you have ordered it there before - it used to be succulent flavourful pieces of chicken with a rich peanut sauce - now the satay chicken is a completely tasteless nugget you would expect to buy from Iceland, with what tastes like BBQ sauce with a bit of peanut flavouring - not good at all.

Tasty food but small portions and slightly overpriced. Decor is quite ancient

Mrs Wongs has been taken over by new owners DO NOT GO the food is awful!!!!! i have been going. There for 30 years and. Saturday 10th Feb 2018. Will be the last time i go. The building was falling apart, service miserable and the food gluepy, masses of it and just Plain horrible - do not go!!!!!

Design and layout was very poor. Staff are very rude

Came here with 4 friends on friday and we all ate for less than £10 each. Its not a fancy interior but perfect for what it is, byob so didn’t fork out ridiculous prices for drinks and the staff were really nice and friendly. Would recommend!

Old school authentic Chinese food

Used to be extremely good - small, intimate and fresh. Word in Streatham is that there has been a change of ownership, and the place is not so good.

Mrs wrong had changed management same menu but food not good as the previous owner different taste of food probably changed the formula like different brands/or make of sauces , etc

Just moved to Streatham and slowly trying out all the independent restaurants, you can still see the mess in the photo as I havent finished unpacking yet. I haven't eaten at the restaurant and have had two take aways already. I ordered through just eat and the food was impeccable. The food arrived piping hot, and the beef hofun is the biggest winner! Their traditional stuff on the menu is authentic hk cuisine. Not sure why all the bad reviews, I've finally found a Chinese that rivals my dad's!!!! (We used to own a Chinese restaurant in Essex). All in all, the food is good, delivered promptly and I'll be going back (but will request less msg...) Yes the rice could do with a bit more meat, but Asians usually get their source of 'dishes' I.e their meat and fish from the main and the rice is just the to fill the belleh.

I have been going to this restaurant for decades. It has recently changed hands. Not in a good way. There is not hello or good evening when you enter just a curt 'have you booked' when the restaurant is nearly empty. The tables are set...

Me and friends has been there twice recently. Excellent food and friendly staff. Great value too.

It's under new management. I'm never going back. I've been going to Mrs Wongs for over 10 years and yesterday (friday 2nd dec 2017) was a horrible shock. The difference in food and staff has gone from 10 to zero.

Second time to Ms Wong's in 2 mths. The first time was not bad but 2 customers next to me were complaining that their food was completely 'off'. I ordered fried rice on my second order and what we received was a JOKE. It was...

I have been dining and taking out food from Mrs Wong’s since I first moved to Streatham 30 years ago and I have been a regular customer and enjoyed all of their meals without a complaint. Lately, I have been really saddened by the below...

I use to go here quite regularly for a weekend takeway. The food was always amazing and the service was...

I felt prompted to write a second review of Mrs Wong’s (many years later) after ordering a takeaway last night...

You always get a quality meal at Mrs Wong's, no matter what you order. The BYOB policy is great too.

Am a seasoned chinese eater, absolutely loved this restaurant it has great quality food. BYOB, 4 of us paid £7.30 each for 3x egg fried rice and 4 dishes to share between us. Very friendly staff, would recommend booking, have been twice and its always busy!

OK, Mrs Wong's has changed hands. It's certainly a shame but I think these 1-star reviews are unfair.

If you have eaten quality Chinese food DO NOT eat here! Squid was chewy and refried, wontons had no meat, hot and sour soup tastes like vinegar and the list goes on... And as we all know two Wong's don't make a right!

Food was really delicious and bill for 3 of us only £33. I have been coming here for years and am aware it is under new management. This is a no frills restaurant and whilst the waiter was obviously a novice, I found the food up to the usual excellent standard.

The quality and taste of food is no longer the same since change of hands. It feels like fast food and quick turnover place. Unfortunately I've lost a great Chinese food place which I was a regular for last 20 years.

Visited here on Friday night after it was recommended by a friend. We almost went somewhere else after reading the recent reviews on TripAdvisor, but decided to to take the risk. Our meal was lovely. Starter portions and chow meins were huge, veg spring rolls were some of the best I've had - really crispy and not at all soggy as they sometimes are, and the sweet and sour bean curd was delicious. It also came to only £12 each including a tip, which was excellent value. I read a lot of complaints about the service, but the woman who served us was absolutely lovely. I never went here before it changed management and maybe some things have changed, but it certainly wasn't terrible. We had a lovely meal and will be going back.

What a disappointment. Having frequented Mrs wongs for 18 years and highly recommended it to many friends and family, I regret to say we will not return.

Been going there for many years. Never disappointed, sometimes amazed. Great place.,but very small.

I took my son there for his Birthday last night. As soon as we walked in, I knew something was different. The aroma coming from the kitchen had changed and as we sat down, we noticed the crude, hand drawn numbers stuck on the wall behind each table. The menu was the same, but the waiting just wasn't up to scratch. We had to repeat each item several times and he still got one wrong.The food was definitely not the same. My ribs were a little chewy and the prawn toast appeared to be processed. The duck was the most disappointing - brought out ready shredded and dry, with sauce that was watery. The rest of the meal was similarly disappointing and for the first time ever, we did not ask to take the leftovers home.I had been coming to Mrs Wongs for 30 years and had enjoyed many fantastic meals there, but sadly will not be returning.

I have been going to Mrs Wongs for years I went there recently but had no idea that the management had changed until reading some of the more recent reviews. I did notice that the longest standing waiter who is always there whenever I go to eat was not there, but still did not realise there was new management. The food was good I enjoyed it brought my own wine and the bill was a good amount cant complain apart from I miss the old skool waiter, he was nice friendly always had a good laugh with him.

Under new management. Mrs Wong, THE Mrs wong is dead, and the restaurant is no longer worth the reviews it had. Staff is slow and doesn't seem to know very well what they are doing, food is mediocre at best.

We loved going to Mrs wongs and did so most Friday's for some years.Sadly the lovely owners sold and it us under new management.We 'gave it a go' last week but sadly won't be returning.The duck was always our fav - God knows what the new chef is doing to it.I wish them well but they will not be getting our custom

I'm gutted, my family have been going to Mrs Wongs for over 20 years. I felt compelled to write a review today. I ordered a takeaway last night and it was absolutely terrible. As soon as I got it home I knew it wasn't right and not the normal standard- I'd go as far as to say the food was completely different, it didn't smell fresh at all. I called them up immediately and asked if there was a new chef and they informed that the staff have all completely changed and it's under new management. I ate about 5 mouthfuls before chucking the lot in the bin,my mum however ate the ribs and as a result was sick in the middle of the night.I can safely and sadly say I will never go back there. So interesting to read the other bad reviews of this month, when I walked in there to collect my takeaway it was completely empty which is unheard of on a Friday night- now I know why. Such a shame and end of an era

I had been going to Mrs Wings for many many years. It was a gem, a real understated place of awesomeness. Unfortunately, management have meant that the service is try awful. Terrible. We sat down and waited 10 minutes before I eventually walked to the counter to get some glasses. A senior chap (owner) was busy chatting to people at a table for ages whilst others were all waiting. Waiters were slow, no customer service. When we eventually placed our order (must have been over 30 minutes) the service was poor. At a table next to ours, the waiter slouched on the table with his elbow on the table and head in his hands as he too the order. Food took forever to arrive, we had been there well over an hour. The chow me in came out then we waited perhaps another 10 minutes for the rest. What a shame, it used to be brilliant and now the service is awful. Good was OK, but totally outweighed by the bad experience. After many years of going, I shall not be returning. End of an era.

It is now ashame to say that Mrs Wongs has now been taken over and the service is now awful.As a regular customer of Mrs Wongs it sad to see that it has now been taken over by people who do not care for the customers. I can honestly say that for a restaurant that has always had the highest respect by my family and friends and also to treated with friendlness by the staff who are a family I was shocked by the treatment I received by the new owners who have employed a waitress that has no training to deal with customers and thinks it is ok to shout at a customer and have your children's drinks slammed on the table as she was not happy with me saying to her I do not respect the way I am being spoken to due to her not knowing how she should conduct herself...the food was nothing special where as before you knew that the food was always going to be on point.I do hope they at least start to match Mrs Wongs and bring back that family atmosphere and employ a new waitress, as they will loose the regular customers who have been going for years. There was few regular customers who where there and said they will not be back and a couple walked out, in all my 20 years going there I have never seen anything like it.It is a shame as this for me was the best Chinese in London with the best service and food which has now gone and with a heavy heart I say goodbye. I will no longer be recommending Mrs Wongs to anyone.

I am sad to say the Mrs Wongs has now been taken over and the service is now awful.As a regular customer of Mrs Wongs I have never been treated the way I was and a couple of other customers by the most rudest waitress I have ever meet. She was shouting at me as a customer due to me asking for a bowl to eat my food out of and then to be given a bowl no bigger than for a 3 month old and then be told bigger bowls are only for the staff, the bowl I was then given was a cereal bowl.It is such ashame as this for me was the best Chinese in London with the best service and food which has now gone and with a heavy heart I say goodbye to Mrs Wongs. I do hope the chef can soon match how the food tasted and that they focus on getting a new waitress and then I consider but I will no longer be recommending Mrs Wongs to anyone and for my children to see the treatment that was given who are also regulars they where in complete shock...that family feeling they had there has now gone.
