Wong Kei is a hallmark restaurant of Chinatown, famous for their great value Cantonese food and notorious for their rude staff. My family have been coming for at least a decade and it is hands down one of my favourite restaurants in Chinatown and perhaps all of London.

Every single dish is delicious, packed with flavour, and comes in a generous portion. Their cold meats on hot rice with BBQ sauce is a classic and an excellent way to try their char siu, pork belly, and duck all in one dish. Their black bean sauce is out of this world. I’ve had this with their steamed sea bass and their fried beef - both of which were succulent, tender, and delicious. One of my favourite dishes is their fried pork chop in chilli and salt. Juicy, crispy, and just amazing. Their noodles are great too. Ho fun is a classic and theirs is great. Have also had their Singapore fried noodle which is delicious. Another classic dish from them is their wonton noodle soup which is also good. Basically, every dish is a safe bet.

Their service may not be the most polite, but what they lack in manners they make up for in extreme efficiency. Seating is quick, food comes out very quickly, and payment is also quick. For those looking for a long meal to chat with friends this may not be best for that. They are also cash only but have no service charge. Also free Chinese tea for all guests. Overall, for a fully satisfying experience and a 100% recommend.

This place has improved a lot they are less rude than before some of the employees are good some others need to lear manners. The food was good, some dishes better and others. They delivered all pretty quick .. you get free Chinese tea. The toilet were clean, is only possible to pay with cash. Not cards allowed.

Know that you are going to a place with famously terrible service with quotes from waiters such as "it's not a library hurry and choose" and "no you must sit downstairs!".

On this occasion the waiter was awesome! Very helpful and went the extra mile.

The food... Well it's epic. Came back after 12 years and sure enough it's better than remembered.

Cheap and epic food, hard to compete with!

The infamous Wong Kei, and that is it!
The rudeness of the waiter started as soon as I entered the restaurant. I waited a bit to be seated and the guy just used his finger to point to the direction where to be seated. Without a word, the same waiter dropped the menu in front of me. Picked a duck dried rice noodle - taste was very blend and barely any duck meat, but I could taste lots of onions and bean sprouts.
Damage was Gbp12.50, no added tip on the bill and of course CASH only for this restaurant. The usual no thank-you and bye - no human interactions whatsoever.
To be honest, that was within my expectation, so Wong Kei did not disappoint me.

Proper authentic Chinese in China town. Don’t expect a fancy place nor amazing service. But the food won’t disappoint you. I ordered shrimps noodles and some aubergines, but apparently the staple dishes are the noodle and dumpling soup and the crispy pork rice (met a couple sitting at the same table who told us this). Tea pot included. I’d definitely going back to try them soon. Oh, it’s cash only. Make sure you bring some with you before you go.
