This was the worst meal i have had for a very long time. My husband and I have been customers for years and at the start the food was very good . Food tasted really bad , even the cat wouldn't eat the prawns ! Pork balls dry unedible.

That is an extraordinary 'review'. We have been eating at the Wonderful Kitchen for years and have never had a sub standard meal, quite the reverse. Until a few years ago we lived in Cheung Chau an Island off Hong Kong for three years and prior to that in Mainland China for five years and are therefore well qualified to judge authentic chinese cuisine. The Wonderful Kitchen is up there with the very best.

Fantastic Food and a great atmosphere. The Wonderful Kitchen never lets us down. I have eaten at over 20 Chinese restaurants and this one is without doubt in the top three.

Thank you for all the comment to the wonderful kitchen & Lounge.

Personally, i think these comment are good.

Since the Resturant open 5 years ago, we have served more then 10,000 customer every year. We are glad that we have such reply for us to understand what have we not being done correctly.

Over the past 10 years in the catering business, i have learnt alot and have made alot of ajustment. But i am proud to say that we always give 110% to serve our customers who has chosen us for a meal.

And let me thank you for everyone who has been so greatful to use our take-away or resturant for their meal.

The Manager,
Anthony Yuen

If we could rate minus stars then we would, one star is too generous. We ordered a take away, which was hands down the worst take away we have ever tried to eat. The starters were dried, greasy and congealed, as if they had been sat on a hot plate for hours, they definitely were not freshly cooked. The main was even worse, dried, congealed, greasy, stale, I wouldn't feed it to my dog. We called the restaurant to complain and the manager came to our house to collect it (so far so good), he came to take the main back to the kitchen to show the staff what was wrong with it, he also had a voucher to eat at his restaurant (he didn't seem to appreciate the irony in this, why would we want to eat there again!), we told him that we weren't interested in the voucher and would like a refund. He said he was only taking some of the food away so he wasn't giving a refund! We gave him the rest of the main back (we hadn't touched it) and he still didn't want to refund. After much arguing he finally agreed he would refund our money but only for the main, not the starters. He took the voucher with him and drove back, when he called us to refund the money he said he couldn't refund it to a debit card, that we would have to drive to the take away to have it refunded! When my other half went to the restaurant the manager threatened to call the police because he felt threatened by her and said he didn't come to our house with cash (for the refund) because he had to see the food to see if there was something wrong with it! Deliberately obtuse, and a total joker, don't have anything to do with the "wonderful kitchen"!

A pretty average venue with a rather pricey menu. If the staff were a little more friendly and helpful it would probably overcome some of the feelings of dissatisfaction.

Thank you for your comment, but i just want to mention the price of the menu haven't been change for the last 5 years since it open.
But we will sure to seek for a training program for the staff to follow.

Nice place and good food, but poor service really. I just called up and ordered, and when I asked how much it was, she replied: YOU HAVE MENU RIGHT?! SO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS!
We bring our business to you, and sorry we will take it away...
Please respect your customers...

Visited this restaurant with high expectations but came away quite underwhelmed.
Arrived at the booked time and quickly ordered a set menu then settled down over a nice pint of draft Asahi. After a few minutes the vegatables and sauce arrived for the duck first course. We sat and looked at these for some time before a waiter finally came over to explain that the kitchen had forgetten about us - great. 30 minutes after the first half of the first course the second half of it arrived - a generous portion for 2 but only 6 pancakes which seamed unecessarily mean.
2nd couse was dumplings & dim sum, a bit bland, grey and chewy but edible.
3rd course was good special rice, some ok lemon chicken and 'crispy shredded chili beef'. I believe it was beef, it was certainly crispy and shredded but if there had been any chili in there it had been long overpowered by what tasted like lots of vinegar (really quite unpleasant). Oh yes, there were also some mixed vegatables - the mange tout were fresh but the rest it seemed has come out of a tin - they were mostly grey and chewy and fairly grim.
As it was meant to have been a special occasion we chose not to make the evening worse by making a scene, we paid our bill (without tip) and quietly left. Maybe we were just unlucky and caught them on an off night but I personally wouldn't be inclined to rush back, I have eaten better Chinese food locally.

I have never enjoyed Chinese so much, the dishes here were so filling and stunning to look at. This is the first chinese restaurant i have eaten at that takes so much pride on presentation. Get in while you can!

I had held the Wedding buffet Party at Wonderful Kitchen and lounge
for 50 person; the boss Anthony and Joyce are provide a excellant service in my party, e.g. wedding music; cutting case; table arrangment; restaurant decor; foods included order sea-food;and every details on the day. Good arrangement before the big party.
I am grateful to their arrangement.
They arrangement over 30 different kinds and cooking of chinese foods in buffet party.

I like the fresh steam fish and lot delicious food.
