Service at Wong Kei was disappointing. Don’t get me wrong service was, if not friendly, at least quick and attentive. This was not the Wong Kei I had come for. Wong Kei is infamous for its rude service and unfriendly waiters so when we were given good service Rehana and I were wondering if we’d come to the right restaurant!

Seriously, after you get over the fact you are sent upstairs with little instruction only to find yourself seated with a bunch of strangers (they make the most of their empty spots on large tables), you soon start to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Food is brought out quickly and though I wouldn’t say it was fabulous it is definitely reasonably priced with decent portions.

Its clear that Wong Kei operates on the basis of maximising turnover of tables and though we personally felt no pressure to move on quickly – no sooner had someone paid their bill, we blinked, and they had disappeared, the table had been cleared, the table cloth (I mean paper) switched over, and another set of customers had taken their place. Smooth!
