Mr Wong – Wynyard
Mr Wong delivers the best Cantonese food in Sydney. Set over 2 levels and seating over 240 people, Mr Wong still manages to deliver a classy, intimate dining experience. The King Crab Fried Rice and Crispy eggplant with fish fragrant sauce were both heavenly. Mr Wongs also serves amazing desserts, their Deep fried ice cream served with butterscotch sauce, perfectly complimented the dining experience.
Mr Wong is considerably high in price and requires a minimum spend of $100 per person. However the quality food and exceptional service matches the price tag at Mr Wongs.
