This place is a 10.
The service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, accommodating & knowledgeable. The food was superb.
We ordered al la cart as we didn't have THAT much time before hitting the theater.
We got the dumpling basket, EXCELLENT, i mean the flavor was there, the texture was there, the consistency & they were all the PERFECT temperature.
Next, the duck with the pancake thing. They came around with a duck leg and all the fixings. The server went ahead and deboned & shredded the duck meat. See photo. it was amazing
The aubergine was the best eggplant dish i have ever eaten in my life.
Got the crunchy noodles they were perfectly crunch with lots of flavor and sauce on the bottom, big dish, very filling.
Got the octopus black pepper dish, i was so stuffed by the time this arrived but it was glorious.
Finally got the banana dessert, it was so good, i wanted to lick the plate. there's always an extra pocket in the belly for dessert, whatever you do TRY TO SAVE ROOM FOR IT. -

Not having been back to Hong Kong for some time, I don't know any other restaurant that has fine dining for dim sum. It certainly doesn't exist in NYC. Which makes A.Wong a must go to spot for any fans of dim sum. I wish there were Canto chefs in NY that are as imaginative and innovative as Chef Wong.
Scallop puff was simply amazing. It's beyond describing so I won't try. Just get it.
Duck yolk custard bun was probably the best thing there. Soft chewy bun with creamy custard inside with a nice toasted bottom. Must get.
Prawn roll was good but you could skip.
Wagyu tart with peas was a nice one bite wonder. Good but you can pass.
The shrimp dumpling with foam and pork shu mai and pork crackling are 1/2 combos you must get.
Roast pork with foie gras to share wasn't presented as beautifully but was good. Not a must.
Glutinous rabbit and carrot puff was excellent. Shaped like a carrot, it was one of my favorites. Must get.
Soft shell crab rice roll was another favorite. Must get.
Spicy wonton with fried tofu was good but not a must have.
Shrimp dumpling with infused vinegar was wonderful. Must get.
Wild mushroom Truffle bun is placed on faux grass and made to look like a mushroom and is executed perfectly. Must get.
Scallop rice roll is good and worth a try. Tastes are similar to the scallop puff. -

The best dinner dinner we had in London . Amazing experience was from the moment you walk in the door. All
The was was awesome .
I think everyone Helps each other because you always have someone coming to check on you or to bring your orders . I love their teamwork.
For drinks we had cold sake ( very good ) and water !
We shared a bunch stuff and everything was perfect . We wanted to try lore stuff but couldn't we were full . Great experience !!
We had a reservation so I recommend to make one before you go ! -

When dim sum have a Michelin star!
While I wasn't blown away (except for the custard buns) it's dim sums in it's most refined and creative level for a rather good price!
If you manage to get a table, you should most definitely go!!
We shared a few of the dim sums and snacks first:
Chengdu Street Tofu (very nice), Shangai steamed dumpling ( like xao long bao), Sechuanese chicken and peanut bonbon, Wagyu tart with black beans, Isle of Mull seared scallop and cheung fun, Steamed duck yolk custard bun (a must order), Pork and prawn dumpling, wild mushroom and truffle steamed buns, clear shrimp dumpling and rabbit and carrot glutinous.
We also shared a crispy duck and Singapour noodles.
Overall I would say certain dishes and presentation deserve the Michelin star but others may not be as up to par. However this is fine Chinese food for a fairly democratic price and it was delicious enough that I would love to come back if I ever manage to get a table again -

We tried many different restaurants on our vacation and our consensus was this was the best meal we had in London. The dishes were creatively conceived and artistically presented. Service was excellent. We loved all the dishes but moo shoo pork and duck egg buns stood out. The finale was a set of stunning white chocolate mahjong tiles.
