  “After heard great reviews on its food managed to try it out. Food only the beef stew taste good but not the noodles rough and thick. Duck noodles was let down same as fish ball noodles. If can give 0 star on service that would fit anyway on the final bill no service charge. Man what an attitude on those servers might as well convert it as a self service restaurant.”

  “To all my vegan friends listen up, I will save you time. Don’t go here. As a vegan it is already hard enough to get vegan food especially in an restaurant. 3 reasons why you shouldn’t go here. Nr. 1: The menu is completely confusing. Yes, for people with allergies it is really helpful, because there is like a legend there, so symbols for different things such as milk, muscles, soja etc. But you won’t find anything on the menu that is vegan and nourishing. As I called over the waiter to asked if I could customise my order by removing ingredients or just ordering noodles/rice with vegetables, I got put on hold as she sent another waiter over. He explained, or rather bluntly said I would have to order the rice with aubergine. When I pointed out that it had the symbol for muscles on it, he just pointed out that it was vegetarian. He went on, but then the first waiter came back to collect our orders, so I just asked her again if she could write that my meal should not have muscles. She went away and sent a different waiter over. At this point I am stressed, kinda hangry and absolutely confused, she came over, explained to my friend that her sweet chilli chicken had no muscles in it and with that logic I asked if it was just there for cross contamination. My question was not answered, in fact she couldn’t tell me the answer, still aggressively saying stuff, then it is my turn, she for one stated that vegetarian is equal to vegan and two said that the symbol had the wrong colour for muscles, have in mind that there was only one light brown/ hazel colour with a triangle on it. In the end my food was horrible, I got made a fool by waiters who couldn’t even be bothered to acknowledge my problem and my food was over 10£ for rice and aubergine that tasted not even edible. The jasmine tea was cool tho, the rest wasn’t.”

  “First came to Wong Kei in the 1980's. The staff these days are far friendlier. Back then solo diners were only reluctantly given a menu if they requested one... Now the staff are much friendlier. Also, solo donors now have their given to them once they've finished eating - in the old days, you were expected to go to the counter to pay. Food is still as good as ever - menu has expanded since those days. Went for the char-siu pork & soya chicken on rice. Back in the 80's that would cost £1.80 - now it is over £11.. Worth every penny.. Always recommended..”

  “MANAGER needs replacing by Group that now owns this place. WRONG Food often brought, Cook changed my order many times. Rude Waiters then make things worse. This last time I insisted on the order & it's exact number on menu (no vegetables, beef & HoFun only). Still they brought something which was half vegetables. Cook basically replaces half of meats with vegetables. Portions are getting smaller everyday, prices going up. A plate portion which is small now costs them less than a £1 but still they cheat. Cooks & waiters assume all customers deserve to be cheated & told off. I'm on a keto diet with no vegetables to dump oxalate. They ignore orders & cook whatever they think you deserve. Owner Group executives & this Manager need auditing because the cooks & waiters follow them. If one doesn't get what one ordered then writing here is what needs to be done to warn others. So let's do that. Customers decide what they eat, not the Cooks.”

  “Food was watery and tasteless. No sauce. Just boiled food in water. Service was appalling. Waitress did not bring a glass to go with my beer. When we complained that the dishes had no sauce and were too watery, waitress agreed that it looked too watery but accused me of having poured some of my tea and beer to make it that way. Awful place. Definitely to be avoided.”

  “Been about 3 times but this is my first review of the place. Always a favourite of ours for its quick and easy no fuss service. I think they’ve toned down on the rudeness but me and my son thoroughly enjoyed all our visits here. Service was quick and good came out very fast and piping hot. Very tasty and none of that MSG taste you get with most places. If you’re looking for a quick bite with great food at super cheap prices, this is the place. After so many years, I’m still surprised how cheap this place is compared to all the other restaurants in Chinatown. Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”

  “I appreciate the staff aren't the happiest people but when the food is this cheap and this good, in Central London I wasnt complaining. 4 blokes, £90. The staff are not friendly but that didnt matter. The food was sensational and amazing prices.”

  “This place is known for their lack of service, which is what gives its charm amd is why I went. I was told the food made up for it. Unfortunately this wasnt the case for me. The food was bland and the meat tasted low quality. Crispy food, came out soft, overall it wasn't to my liking. The group agreed. The service was as expected, no happy welcome, the menu was given quickly and order taken quickly. And when we were done the bill came quickly without us asking for it. Thats all fine. But bad food was the kicker. Im glad I tried it for the service. But the food means I wont be back. Remember, Its cash only if you decide to go.”

  “Good value, big portions, decent food. Had like a rustic Hong Kong feel, fast service, not the most warm welcoming as you may be used to in the UK but I came in with awareness that that’s just how they are. I did get good service from a lady and there’s no service charge. Atmosphere is not the modern type but old school. Never had such a generous portion of 3 roast meat with rice. Won tin soup probably needed topping up with chilli oil and soy.”

  “We went for a dinner after rainy evening. Soups made great start, then spring rolls and then beef noodles and sweet and sour pork with rice. Everything was very tasty. Staff was very nice. I will plan to go back for sure. Atmosphere has 4 stars only for those who are looking for modern restaurant. But I go to eat out for flavours not for posh place. Place got really busy for dinner by locals. To see less tourists and more regulars confirms that it is to go place for flavours.”
