I ate here on a Monday lunchtime. It was excellent. The stir fried lamb with spring onion was tender, very tasty and a pretty large portion. The yeung chow fried rice was packed with ingredients and had obviously just been made. It was served in a big bowl. One of the best Chinese meals I've had in ages in London. The guy looking after the place was really professional. I'm not easy to please but this deserves a 9/10. Tina

I ate at the Mr Wing restaurant last week with my other half and have to say it was one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to. The food was lovely and the decor and ambiance first class. Having read previous comments, it made me wonder if we had been to the same restaurant, but yep there we were and we will definitely book again.

Clearly you work for Mr. Wing, because yours is one of 3 posted on June 3 from new users with only 1 review ever written. As if that weren't enough of a giveaway, all of you (weevinny, BHX and r.smith) seem to go out of your way to praise the decor. Nice try, dumbasses.

Just thought i would leave a review..

I went to Mr Wing last week with a group of friends and i have to say it was a very pleasant experience. The food was exceptional and the service was polite, friendly and very professional.

The decor was beautiful and the full wall lenght fish tank was amazing and gave the place a very relaxed dining experience.

I will most certainly come back again without hesitation and have already recommended Mr Wing to my friends and family.

i would like to say a huge thank-you to the staff for creating a wonderful dining experience and i will most certainly be back again.

After reading the review posted on 25/05, I felt compelled to join in as I had exactly the same problem. I ordered Lamb with Chili and Orange and am 100% convinced I was served up Beef with Shittake Mushrooms. Mainly cus it was covered in mushrooms and tasted like Beef. Bit of a give-away. O, and the receipt said Steak with Mushrooms.

I didn't bother complaining as I was quite happy to try something unexpected. The food was edible, but I've definitely had better Chinese before.

On a positive note, the decor was awesome. Huge fish tanks all along the wall, and we had a nice little alcove to ourselves. Even had some live 'Jazz' playing, which consisted of a bloke playing contemporary music on the piano, nevertheless it was a nice touch. Staff were friendly and attentive, despite gettin the order wrong.

A bit pricey at £70, considering we had no alcohol and only two courses.

Greeted by a white dude. Questioned authenticity. Should have trusted my instincts.

Went with the pregnant wife for the lunch special. She ordered dim sum. I wanted the sweet & sour pork, but since we were sharing, pregnant wife convinced me to get the Cantonese chicken with black bean sauce instead. I pick and choose my battles.

Ordered the Cantonese chicken with black bean sauce. When our food arrived, it was pretty clear that it was sweet & sour something. It was pink and had pineapples in it, and more importantly it tasted like sweet & sour, so we asked the host about it.

"That's the Cantonese chicken" he insisted, despite the fact that Cantonese chicken was supposed to come with black bean sauce, which is easily identifiable since it has black beans in it, which ours did not.

We chose not to press the issue, because I had wanted the sweet & sour pork all along. Then the bill came and it clearly said "SS Pork" on it. We then asked white dude again which dish we had been served.

"You had the Cantonese chicken. The receipt says sweet & sour pork because the keys for each are right next to each other on our computer."

This time we were a little bit more insistent, pointing out that 1) what we had was clearly sweet & sour, and 2) tasted a lot more like pork than chicken. We then also pointed out that there are lots of people in London who don't eat pork for religious reasons, and that this sort of snafu would have been unacceptable in those circumstances.

At that point he changed his tune and said "Oh, maybe you did get the pork. We have a chef in the kitchen who doesn't speak much English and he probably made a mistake."

Way to throw your hard-working immigrant coworker under the bus, white dude. You were the one who entered the information wrong, and you were the one who stubbornly refused to own up to it. Even if it was a mistake, you should at least be able to recognize the few limited dishes on your lunch special menu, which only has 5 i

Sorry, don't work for Mr Wing I actually live in Birmingham and that would be too much of a commute. I was just there on a day out at Earls Court with my husband and found the restaurant by accident, but would definitely return on our next visit to London
Thank you for your erroneous comments, kind regards

I have eaten in a lot of Chinese restaurants and Mr. Wing definitely stands out as one of the best. The food was exceptionally good and the wine selection was second to none. I will definitely go back to Mr. Wing again.

I wouldn't wing it down to Mr.Wing any time soon. The food was rubbish, the staff rude and when we asked if we could see Mr.Wing himself all we got was an icy stare.
