Wong's in Bristol, City of

Tasty and authentic food. Strong and spicy taste dishes are good.

Mid-week about 6ish, me and the Mrs felt like a good Chinese meal. Wong's looked the part from the street and when we walked in staff was very welcoming. I noticed there was nobody else in there except a party of Chinese people in the back. We ordered a starter then a main (Grandma's Chicken BBC winner), waiter was friendly but seemed dysfunctional. When asked, he described the main as fryed chicken, he couldn't have got it more wrong. In fact it was more like chicken nuggets. We had to prompt him for sides such as rice!!!The food was very disappointing, acceptable maybe 20 years ago but poor by today's standards. Our starter was chicken sweetcorn soup which was ok but a little tastless, as if it came straight from a tin. While halfway through the starter we were asked if we were ready for the mains, I felt this was strange as I had a mouth full of soup at the time. When we had the mains, the boiled rice was clumpy and my wife's chicken blackbean didn't have much sauce and too much onion. My meal was very poor, they should remove it from the menu as the chef that cooked the original BBC winner has clearly left years ago. it was dry and over seasoned completely with salt, I left most of it on the plastic plate. I so wanted this place to be a gem, but it feels to me like the staff even though friendly are in bad need of training in all areas. For example, I asked for a pint of lager (tiger) but I'm guessing they only do bottles because I was charged a whopping £9.20 which is maybe the price of 2 bottles. He should have at least told me if that was the case. Also we had to ask them to remove the extortionate service charge. So in summary the service was poor, as was the food and overpriced. 😭

Had a great meal at Wong’s on Denmark Street. The food was absolutely delicious – super fresh and full of flavour. We had the crispy duck and black bean beef, and both were spot on. Staff were friendly and the vibe was relaxed but still felt special. Portion sizes were great too – left feeling full and happy! Definitely one of the best Chinese spots in Bristol. Will 100% be coming back.

Very friendly staff and great food will be good back

Fantastic food, a real treat just off the city centre

Food was incredible. I had sweet and sour chicken and rice and by far the best I've ever eaten. Partner loved hers aswell. Annie is fantastic and there is a reason she is a renowned chef. Will definitely be back!

delicious foods for Chinese students

authentic food and brilliant environment

Had a fabulous dinner here. Can't fault it. Highly recommend.

8pm on a Thursday. Restaurant totally empty. Young waiter with teeth missing. Food okay but just warm. Gratuity added to bill regardless. Overpriced. Could and should be a lot better.

Zero Star food hygiene rating since Jan 30th 2025. It is not safe to eat food from here.

I visited tonight for dinner. The food and service was fantastic, the best Chinese in bristol! Annie the owner/chef is amazing. I will be back soon.

Ma Po Tofu no relation to the original and completely gross: No Szechuan pepper in the dish at all so not numbing. No minced pork. No chilli oil. Just thick, nasty brown beef gravy with tofu and huge chunks of uncooked ginger. Utterly gross and disingenuous. Half crispy shredded duck not a half duck or crispy or shredded. Just sliced, sloppy-skinned, and excessively fatty. Sui yuk (crispy belly pork) had been refried hard as a rock and made inedible. We abandoned all three dishes and threw it all away. To add insult to injury I noticed some of the Deliveroo photos are A.I. generated and there are loads of recent fake 5 star Google Maps reviews (how come so many reviewers have only ever posted one review and it happens to be of Wong’s?). Wong's is trading just off the old BBC award - sadly the food is now terrible and I will never order again.

Visited on a Saturday evening with friends and chose the set menu which was £39 per person. The first low point was that we ordered a £39 bottle of pinot grigio which when brought to the table was actually a bottle of Barefoot wine which is about £8 in the supermarket!!! Disappointing over priced! The set menu was ok although we didn't get the dishes that were on the set menu, it seemed like they just have us what was left over from previous orders as it was mainly pork dishes and crispy beef with no sauce, very underwhelming. The starter platter was definitely the highlight. The staff were ok although when we finished (about 10pm) they all sat on the table next to us and watched us until we left, slightly uncomfortable. The bill for 4 set menus, a bottle of overpriced wine and 6 small bottles of tiger beer came to £269 so not a cheap evening. Overall disappointing meal and sure there are nicer places out there.

The boss lady is very enthusiastic and has a nice attitude👌🏻The food is also quite delicious.

Annie is a lovely host and very generous to respectacable customers. A wonderful presentstion to Wongs as are the rest of the staff. Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. Thank you Annie as ever and glad you serve Mou Ta i X

The service is very good. You can come and try it.

the food is really nice and fresh

The lion head is delicious and very cheap

Cheeky weekend away we came across this place hiding down a side street. We were not disappointed, tried lots we hadn’t before, the food was beautiful, very well presented, fantastic table service and quite reasonable. Look forward to visiting in the future. Thank you for a lovely evening

The food is really good and so nice

Very dirty environment. Good luck with the food, very salty and cold. Your order is not even right. Chemicals for cleaning are everywhere. I think this restaurant is a function for family meetings. Hopefully I won”t be ill in the morning. I need a dessert to wash to erase the memory of the food.

There are many dishes and they are delicious.

The restaurant offers an incredible dining experience with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented dishes. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, combined with attentive service, makes it the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal. Truly a gem for anyone who loves great food!

the service is great as same as the food

All the food (we tried pepper squid, Sweet and Sour Pork） were unpalatable with an extremely expensive price.

The spring rolls are delicious and the girl is cute

Best Chinese restaurant in Bristol, been here for New Year’s Eve dinner good food good service

Go to this restaurant if you don't have the ability to put lidl frozen food into the air fryer and take it out within 15 mins of the due time - shite (server was nice)

A very expensive home delivery given that around 85% of the food was inedible. Delivery company have been proactive. Wong’s didn’t both to respond to emails. Not our first meal from them so a thoroughly disappointing experience this time.

I came to Wongs with a sceptical attitude, but I didn't realise that the rice was really good.

Gorgeous decorations✨ Fancy and enjoyable ♥️

The initial look of Wongs makes you think that this is going to be a good experience. The chinese background music is calming, the interior is lovely, even though the tables and chairs are built for giants. The service is friendly and efficient . That's where it all stops!!! Wongs is like a man with a sock down his pants or Tottenhams stadium, impressive visually but once you get past the looks and sparkle it's a total let down. I can honestly say it's the worse Chinese food in a restaurant I have had and you can't include the prawn crackers in that because they are bought in. The sweet chilli sauce is watered down, the steamed dumplings were soggy and watery like they were boiled and everything tasted stale. I know that sounds harsh but when you pay nearly £12 for some noodles and bean sprouts you expect it to be fresh, tasty and enjoyable not oily and greasy, I always judge things on cost and Wongs is not cheap. It's such a shame because the staff are great and the setting is lovely. My advice to Wongs owner is sack your chef. If you want decent traditional chinese food you can go to Nice Spice which is a 1 minute walk from Wongs. Not as flashy but good food and not expensive.

The food was super delicious and at a reasonable price

Fish and tofu are my favorites, they are really delicious!

Pre-gig meal (Dandy Warhols). Highly recommend both Wong's and the Dandies!!

First time I tried this restaurant was back in 2012. Tried it again in 2022 and was as delicious as it was back then🙌🏽

This restaurant is promoting its food with ai images on Deliveroo. Under a different restaurant name but the address is the same. Please be wary when ordering! This is super disingenuous.

Great food ,atmosphere and service 👌. Cathy Taylor.

Brilliant night and excellent service 👍

Best Chinese food ever, very friendly service and wonderful ambience. Annie is a gem! Will be back soon! 💚🥰

Very nice experience. Beautiful restaurant and pints were nice and fresh. Food was good. Owner and waiter v friendly.

Absolutely awful! I rarely leave one star reviews but the food was cold and clearly reheated and was not to satisfaction. Definitely needs to re think the quality of the food as was extremely disappointed

Kind staff and delicious food. I can't recommend the Cantonese duck, jasmine rice, and fried cabbage enough.

Ordered the BBC Awards Winning Spring Roll and the inside filling was not even warm.

Tasty fresh food. The chilli beef is appropriately spicy and tasty. Service is a challenge, they really need to employ at least one English speaker.

DO NOT USE THIS RESTAURANT. The food was absolutely disgusting. The rice was so hard it was like eating tic-tacs. The sweet and sour pork was so rubbery I was unable to chew it, it just bounced around in my mouth. The whole meal went into the bin so I would suggest cutting out the middle man and just put your cash straight into the kitchen bin. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone and never use it again. Absolutely disgusting.

This could be a great restaurant with lovely decor, good atmosphere and location, and a large and interesting menu. However, the soups we had were watery and under-seasoned, and some of the other dishes didn't have enough sauce on them and were a bit bland. The prices are on the high side - even the set menu is £30 per head. Service was slow even though there seemed to be staff members sat in the restaurant playing with their phones and noisily eating soup. The back of the restaurant isn't used and is full of mess. The toilets weren't very clean. We waited so long trying to order coffee that we gave up and had it at home.

Ordered a take away for my parents! The food came and nothing looked and tasted as it should. It was actually disgusting at how different the food tasted to what it was. Never going to use them again. I advise none else too either. Wait for MAYFLOWER to be re opened.

Until you've been here and experienced the owner, then you'll understand why Wongs has been around for quite a while and why people love this restaurant. And ask her for the special drink for your food.... Absolute delight, with moderately priced dishes. Will definitely visit again.

Terrible, burnt, tasteless over priced bland food. Don't bother.

Worst Chinese we've ever had in our lifes!!! Visited Wong's with some work colleagues and we all regretted going there. We were the only ones in the restaurant and quickly understood why. The young waiter was very unpleasant and unhelpful and made us all feel awkward when asking questions about the menu. The food was extremely bland and the sauces looked like they had been made many days in advance. We ordered spare ribs for starters and only one rib had meat on it. We were charged nearly £200 for the four of us, and we all felt bloated and uncomfortable the whole night. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Been here a handful of times. Generally, the staff are lovely polite and cheerful, even if somewhat fake it's ideal for a birthday etc. If you get served by what appears to be someone's teenage son, you will be unlucky as he is the only person ever to have been rude in front of me. The decor is beautiful and crates a nice atmosphere. The food is good, but nothing in comparison to restaurants of the same cuisine nearby. As much as a lot of it tastes fresh, it's relatively bland. Not sure if they are catering to the British more, but definitely not authentic food. Decent serving sizes

The most amazing food I’ve ever eaten! So many incredible vegan options and the most gorgeous decor too! Ordered Vegan chicken skewers, Vegan salt and pepper prawns, vegan special fried noodles, vegan sichuan beef and vegan chicken curry. INCREDIBLE vegan menu!

Annie is so lovely and the food is amazing!! Amazing restaurant I would recommend!

Amazing meal on Sunday with the flat. Would come back again just for the Mao pork belly. Annie was a great host and look forward to coming with my family

Absolutely delicious and fantastic service! I loved the Kung Po Prawns! I will definitely come again! Annie was so lovely and explained the dishes thoroughly and gave us a traditional Chinese dining experience!

Banging experience! Incredible food and brilliant service. A great insight into the Chinese culture hidden down a tiny street in the middle of Bristol! Shoutout to Granny Annie!

Food was amazing and was a great end of exam treat!! Lovely atmosphere and staff!

Genuinely the best Chinese food I’ve ever tasted! Everyone was friendly and ‘granny’ helped us get the authentic experience with our order. Left the restaurant full and will be coming back.

Delicious food and excellent service, my favourite Chinese in Bristol!

Excellent sweet & sour pork and I loved the atmosphere! Had a lovely time with my friends

Our family enjoyed dinner there very much so, the food is delicious and a lady boss really friendly indeed.

Amazing food ! Very kind staff, lovely decor - highly recommend.

We were recommended this restaurant by our hotel - the food was very good- although extortionately priced. The service was very odd- our waiter didn’t really know anything about the menu or vegetarian options. The chairs were very ornate but extremely hard so we changed them for the owners softer chairs. The whole family that owned it were sitting at the next table watching things on their phone and having video calls loudly which spoiled the calm atmosphere. Although it has a 4 star hygiene rating, our table cloth had food stains and rice grains remaining from the last occupants. As it was late and we had a very tired 7 year old with us - we couldn’t go anywhere else. The food was very good but the service and shabby/ dirty restaurant let them down especially as we were the only customers there at one point.

Best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to. Ignore the fake 1* reviews. Best food, nicest staff, huge portions. Every dish I’ve tried, I’ve loved. Can’t wait to go back!!

Mega. Best black bean sauce I’ve had. Grandma’s chicken is delicious. Wonderful service. Annie is a treasure, a proper family affair and you should embrace this. Super accommodating, we suggested a £25 per head budget and they sorted us with 3 big meals to share and a drink each.

My favorite place for Chinese food in Bristol. Amazing hosts and amazing food. I eat the grandmas chicken and it’s the best I ever had.

I picked this place from a vague memory eating here over a decade ago that it was a fairly nice experience. I was hosting some friends visiting Bristol and they wanted a Chinese after visiting an escape room and this was geographically a good fit for after. I only noticed both the reviews and the menu pricing as we were on our way over. I would say the majority of reviews are quite accurate. This is an aging family restaurant with a focus on probably paying what is a high rent, or something else thats driven them to hugely over charge and under deliver. There was nothing that was especially remarkably good about this place but the list of complaints is long: One prawn toast was fridge cold in the middle, One meal was delayed by about 5 minutes from everyone else, 3 portions of rice came as a shared bowl that was completely deficient for the amount of mains, so we requested more rice and were charged for 5 portions, noting that 2 extra portions was identical to the original 3. The price of rice alone for 3 people was £25 which is just outrageous. I was embarrassed enough I had chosen this place I swallowed some of the bill for my friends. I can't speak to anyone else's but my own meal was not especially great. I just get the impression its a family run place where the core family are now at retirement age and struggling both economically and practically to deliver their original business. I would avoid, but feel saddened to say this, as I clearly have an original vague memory of this place being quite good.

Amazing food! Best Chinese in Bristol!

Got one order wrong, second came with no pork for a pork dish. Cost is insane considering the quality is as you’d expect from a food court. Service was poor.

Food was OK, standard Chinese food but it just cost a lot more than in other restaurants. Restaurant itself was nice enough but absolutely freezing. They had ran out of both sparkling and still water? Wouldn't rush back but it was alright.

Great food and staff were very welcoming! Like the dumplings in particular- Beijing ones with dill!

Went there for a Chinese new year dinner it was a set menu dishes were all amazing especially the big ciated sea bass felt an authentic Chinese dinner experience in a classic looking elegant Chinese restaurant with big round table

Found the food to be a bit hit and miss… we ordered a few to try, some great dishes and some not so great. They also all come out at different times, when it would have been nice to have them at once. The place does have a nice atmosphere, however, and the staff are very friendly.

Our absolute favourite. Delivery service excellent

Absolutely horrendous!! If you're thinking of eating from here DO NOT BOTHER⚠️ mushy rice, funny looking meat, god knows how they got recognised by the BBC. they must of paid them for publicity because the food is appalling and disrespectful to the public. Keep the menu, chef and shop to yourselves. You should be embarrassed to serve such horrific food.

The food here is still very good, but on our latest visit it appeared that they were decorating and had just left everything where it was to start service. There were paint trays and brushes in the ladies loos, ladders propped in the hall on the way to the gents and piles of dirty linen on the floor inside the gents loos. On the restaurant floor there was a bicycle that I had to negotiate in order to sit down, which was later wheeled past me. Despite it being an early Saturday evening the service staff didn't seem to be ready, and in one case, willing to serve. This used to be a truly magical restaurant, and I sincerely hope that this is just a blip, and it returns to it's previously high standards.

The egg "fried" rice was just boiled rice with scrambled egg thrown in, and to add insult to injury it was double the price of fried rice from any other Chinese! The crispy beef was chewy instead of crispy. Overall the taste was good just not as I was expecting and overpriced for the portions

Just avoid this place. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing meals we’ve ever had. They’ve stopped caring about what they serve to people. Rice was stodgy. Meat was grey. Flavour was embarrassing. Owners listen up. Sort it out.

First red flag was the horrible dog smell as we walked in, it was very quiet no one else apart from family members and another couple , I had read the reviews beforehand and still decided to show to to my cousins meal regardless. This place is actually so terrible I can’t make it up at all. Despite getting there after everyone else and ordering late those who were seated before me were only given their side dish and it took ages for her main to come out , all of our food came out like warm/ cold. There was only on waiter for the 6 of us, so our food came out at random delayed times. Me and my sister shared as we don’t eat big portions , despite this 80% of our food was left on the plate due to how tasteless it was, not even a sprinkle of msq / soy sauce was used. no flavour at all. Everyone else’s food came cold. The dumplings were very cold and soggy within mins even the salad that came with the duck pancakes were dehydrated. After so many issues with our food we had told the waiter about this & nothing was done about it, there seams to be a lack of customer service in this place.. We also had the chef (we believe) an old lady stare at us for a period of time as if she was patrolling us. 70% of the food we all ordered was still left on our plates afterwards and we received 0 discount or compensation for it. We paid £189 for about £60 worth of food from takeaway which is way better. Pls save your money and go the a takeaway instead. Anyone who enjoys this place simply will eat anything including faeces.

Not really satisfied with the portion and taste of food, also the service is not quite good

-The dumplings I got felt really store bought and were boiled instead of steamed -The receipt prices were very different to the ones on the menu with a total raise of almost £10(!!) They charged me for multiple things I didnt order that resembled what I ordered but more expensive, if it was just one thing I wouldve understood its probably an honest mistake but it was about 4 items so it felt super scammy and purposeful so please be cautious before paying -Staff was lazy and not very nice The main I got was really good tho so I'll give them that

Lovely food but at the top end of the price range.

This restaurant is an example of Deliveroo culture. As we waited for our food , a long line of drivers stood waiting to collect food. The entire focus of staff was on the delivery service. Our food on New Year’s Eve was very expansive and almost always below the standard expected. Very disappointed

Nice food and friendly service Hot and sour soup 👌🏽

Walked in and the first thing we were greeted with was what appeared to be the contents of a rented flat. Service was haphazard to say the least. Half of the drinks (lagers) on the menu were unavailable. Food was very average and over priced. Definitely would not recommend. Such a shame as when we visited five years ago it was a completely different experience.

Sadly, the unpalatable meals are overshadowed by the restaurant's unfriendly and racist atmosphere, rendering it a wholly unpleasant and unacceptable dining venue.

The most Unpalatable restaurant

Mixed experience depending on the chef but generally a solid option

Really disappointed with this restaurant. Terrible terrible service. The waiters did not introduce the dishes when serving, especially when the food were so dark with sauces that we didn’t know what were in the dishes. Food? Forget about it. Don’t even waste your time and money on this restaurant. Better go somewhere else if you want your money well spent. Will never visit this restaurant again and I recommend you not to.

The service was friendly but very poor

Very disappointed with the food here. The lamb dish we ordered were very very tender and the portions were small despite the price! It took forever for the food to be served. Service is non existent as main was served without ordered rice/sides but at least they dare not to add the service charge. The decoration in the restaurant is nice tho but really let down by the food and price. Trust me there are better places to go for Chinese food in Bristol.

Loved the turn-table, food was average and parts of it cold. All the food came at a different time which was frustrating for my handsome friends.

Shocking, wish I had read reviews before ordering. Had the same experience as EVERYONE who has ordered recently. Food was over priced and was foul. No flavour and over cooked. Could over look the soggy food if we received what was ordered and was cooked well and had flavour. Would like to know what Chinese restaurant Wongs ordered the food from for when the BBC critic turned up.

Fantastic service, food & company

Service was slow but not unreasonably so to begin with, the waiting staff needed the food orders pointed out on the menus as they didn't to appear speak English, which was not a problem. When the sizzling beef came out it looked delicious but disappointingly they forgot to bring the rice and needed reminding twice. We waited a little too long for that and I although the rice was lovely I couldn't distinguish between the plain jasmine rice and egg fried rice. £75 for two courses and one drink each made it quite pricey I feel but I'd visit again.

It has a very homely taste. I ordered a lot of dishes today. Among them, the squirrel fish and roasted tendon are very delicious! !

It tastes really delicious. After eating it for a year, Wong’s still has the best Chinese flavor.

Nice place to get your meal and drinks
