Mr. Ho Chinese Restaurant - MOUNT ANNAN

Mr. Wong's Chinese restaurant in Sydney, Australia, offers a wide range of delicious dishes. Highlights include: Dim Sum, Peking Duck, eggplant Stir fry, crab fried rice, and their short rib. The restaurant has a stylish and vibrant atmosphere, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions.

Not very many people in this country use yelp which is great in this case so I can say: SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. if all you want is to be near people spending money and don't care about nuance or attention from the staff, this is the place for you. You can go to 10 better restaurants for the cost of one meal here. 10!! Every time we needed anything we had to flag down our waitstaff. The meal wasn't bad, but it wasn't new or different. Any Cantonese restaurant will make these dishes. In larger sizes and with more attentive staff. Can't get a reservation? You just saved yourself $400 ! Lucky you! Now you can go anywhere else and have a wonderful time. I'm no stranger to an expensive meal, we tend to go to a stared restaurant each year for my birthday. And each has some element that justified its merits as pricy beyond usual. This just doesn't. Their space has zero signage and is in an alley. Which is actually kinda cool. Makes me feel like a discoverer. Try another place. You'll thank me.

You clearly come here for the vibe, which is split between restaurant-classic wine bar/massive old industrial basement, and is well worth a stop, at least if someone else is paying. They have an impressive rack of roast duck that is quickly emptied on the ground floor as dinner gets rolling, and they handled our large group well. Fried rice was more on the fusion side but still tasty, the har gow appetizer was clearly a fancy variety assortment, and the veggies we had (a mix of gai lan and snow peas) were all delicious. That said the vibe is clearly fancy/business dinner type, so keep that in mind if you're expecting something more casual. And definitely make a reservation.

The dish design is okay, the output is average. The several dishes we ordered were all very salty and we needed to drink water to neutralize it.

Make your booking as soon as you can. We tried and tried knowing that we were only in Sydney for a total of seven nights over a thirty day period. We wanted to dine with Mr. Wong in the early evening (6:30/7:00 timeframe) and had to take what we could. About six weeks in advance of our arrival we started looking. There was only one available at 6:00PM and we grabbed it and it was on our next to last night in Australia. We arrived and got one of the best seats in this huge restaurant upstairs right next to the kitchen so we could watch some of the food being prepared. This was our fifth visit to Mr. Wong 's over the past years so we knew we wanted the Peking Duck with Pancakes so then had to decide what to add. We both wanted everything but it came down to the Queensland King Prawns. The Peking Duck with Pancakes arrived and it was pure beauty. The duck skin was perfectly roasted with that crisp feel. And the duck meat was tender and succulent. The pancakes are always some of the best we ever have where ever we travel. The homemade hoisin sauce, along with the slices of cucumber and scallions were perfect making the little Peking Duck bundles of greatness. The Prawns arrived in their dish of beauty. They were huge, I would guess they were U-8/10 size. They were deep fried with spicy salt and 3 types of peppercorns. Haven 't figured out what spicy salt is but the peppercorns could have made the salt spicy!!! The peppercorns made the dish. The prawns were peaking out of this massive bowl of them. I don 't know the exact mixture of the three types but do know they had our favorite...the szechuan/sichuan reddish peppercorns...we search for them. You either love them or hate them. The Prawns were extremely fresh no shrimpy taste. Not too much batter, just enough. Can 't wait to try this dish again. I might add that this Fried Prawn with Spicy Salt and Peppercorns it now at the top of our list of all-time favorite dishes. Service was great. Dishes were explained in detail. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of ingredients. Atmosphere is some of the best in any restaurant we have visited. Wish Mr. Wong 's would come to Atlanta. Highly recommend. And remember to book that reservation well in advance.
