Hong Kong
At Wing in Hong Kong, the extraordinary food is only half the story. While chef Vicky Cheng’s modern interpretation of the eight great Chinese cuisines rightly garners acclaim, it is the restaurant’s exceptional service that elevates the experience to a level befitting the world stage.
From the moment guests arrive, the service at Wing is an example of precision, warmth and deep respect, with the staff delivering a seamless balance of attentiveness and discretion. This is not merely good service: it is artfully orchestrated hospitality designed to mirror the refinement of the kitchen.
Each step of a dining experience at Wing is guided with confidence and grace, whether it's the team keeping an eye on a diner’s favourite dish – and ensuring they get it on a return visit – or the exacting tableside explanations of rare ingredients and their historical roots. The staff demonstrates fluency in the culinary philosophies behind Cheng’s work and an ability to read the room: conversations are never interrupted, glasses are never left empty and transitions between dishes are seamless.
The wine and tea pairings are served with reverent detail. Head sommelier Kin Wai Williams Fu is a calm and charismatic presence, walking diners through Chinese vintages and meticulously aged baijiu. The tea service, which reflects the seasonality of Cheng’s menu, is presented ceremoniously, with staff trained in traditional techniques that feel both elegant and unpretentious.
Dishes arrive with polished choreography, often presented for sharing with thoughtful guidance on how best to appreciate each element. Whether it’s the spring roll filled with preserved sea cucumber or the sugarcane-glazed baby pigeon, each plate is offered with context that connects the diner to the food and to Cheng’s wider cultural vision.
At Wing, excellent service is not an accessory to the cuisine, it is a central thread of the whole experience. In a city already renowned for hospitality, Wing sets a new benchmark, embodying the souls of both Chinese and French dining through what is served, and how it is served.
