Mister Wong's - Redcar and Cleveland

We recently visited this restaurant for the first time in many years, and it was a first for my wife. The staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The food was excellent, with stuffed scallops in mussel sauce as a starter and duck and cashews in a birds nest for the main course. My wife enjoyed the meat spring rolls followed by battered pork pieces with mushroom rice. The portion of rice was generous enough for both of us. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future.

This restaurant is a fantastic family-run establishment with friendly, professional, and welcoming staff. The food is of exceptional quality, particularly the hot and sour soup which is a must-try. The menu is easy to navigate and I highly recommend checking out the set meals towards the back. The staff are accommodating and willing to make substitutions to main courses upon request. Early diners can take advantage of the happy hour menu. My family enjoys a variety of dishes here on a regular basis, and we have always been pleased with the consistent excellence in both the food and service over the years. A hidden gem on Redcar High Street with convenient parking outside.

I recently visited this restaurant and found the staff to be unhelpful and disinterested in serving us. The drinks we wanted were not available at the bar, and when we asked if we could purchase them from the off licence next door or if the restaurant could provide them, we were told no. It is disappointing that a business would turn away a £150 sale for the sake of not stocking a £10 item we were willing to buy at a higher price from them. We will not be returning to this restaurant as we are regular customers who will now take our business elsewhere.

Visiting the local area and really fancying a nice Chinese meal, my companion and I travelled a few miles to Mister Wong 's. Staff were lovely but what we were immediately drawn to were notices posted around the restaurant about paying for food and drink at the point of order. We queried this and were told that some customers had 'made off ' without payment but we were assured that we could pay at the point of departure which we did. It presents as a popular restaurant but to be fair we were underwhelmed by the food offering which in our case were less than warm and somewhat greasy. The menu takes some fathoming if you arrive pre the end of 'happy hour ' which ends at 8pm. It was 'ok ' but not somewhere where my companion and I would visit again.

Excellent food,lovely place and very professional service. They should be proud of the value of the quality of the food and service at the price they charge. Superb evening with genuinely nice people. See you again next time we are in town.
