Mr. Wong

Sydney, Australia

This Circular Quay mainstay comes with a ‘go big or go home’ attitude. It’s big on scale – serving some 240 diners at a time. Big on flavour – tickling all the taste buds with an excellent balance of sour, sweet, umami, bitter and spice. Big on scope – the menu reads like an ode to Southern China across 80-odd dishes. Big on atmosphere – the Instagrammable decor of the split-level heritage building sees raw brick walls donned with paintings of women from Thirties Shanghai and colonial-style accents, with a banging soundtrack to boot. Tables laden with chef Dan Hong’s lauded cuisine see a cornucopia of traditional Cantonese plates take a modern turn to delicious effect. Rock lobster and mud crab are plucked from the on-site tank before being cooked one of seven ways; there’s a whole room dedicated to barbecue duck; and hints of brilliance come by way of fried Wagyu and truffle puffs, prawn toasts with foie gras and the iconic dim sum platter based on what’s best on the day. A solid pick for groups looking for good times and great food.
