Review Wong's Kitchen - Box Hill

Food pretty good but bit long to wait the staff to get our order. Pretty friendly service. It's our first time visit and every one happy with the food.

King crab was delicious! Cooked in 2 ways- spring onion with noodles and salt and pepper with legs! Is meaty and tasted the deep sea flavour. Worth a try

Went here the other day and felt the dishes were not bad. Good value for your money.

Absolutely beautiful food. Good service

Absolutely garbage in every aspect. This isn't even bad service for chinese restaurant with good chinese food in the usual style. Bad service, 15 minutes to take our order when we're the only table (well before closing), food took 35 minutes to come out as the chef is sitting there chatting to his coworkers, food is ~$28 for portions the size of a palm. Would never recommend this to anyone. Eat literally anywhere else in boxhill.

Great place for dinner. Always full for good reason!

Small but nicely lit restaurant serving really delicious food, especially the pork intestines and fried calamari.

Took an hour to get our food. Friendly service

Excellent place for a nice wholesome meal. <br/><br/>Come here a few times and order the fresh lobster, oysters, fish etc. seafood dishes are defiantly the high light. <br/><br/>The combo fish deal was $60 . Great presentation and amazing soup. Through the fish fillet could be a lot more for the price. <br/><br/>The duck mushroom were well cooked. Duck a bit too fat . <br/><br/>But overall a great experience.

My favourite place to eat crab here. Very good value for money, although not the best ambience but great little joint for crab and crab noodles.

Portion and price wise. it is very bad. I will never return to the restaurant as there is a much better restaurant around. Every dishes I had order are very salty.

NEVER COME BACK. <br/>Garlic Eye Fillet is cut into both slice and dice? And the only flavor you can taste is soy sauce. All the other dishes are very salty with quantities of MSG.

眼看着他们把我们点好的那只新鲜龙虾放回水缸里给我们偷偷换上冷冻的，当场拆穿找他们论理还死不承认，还说不做我们的生意！服了！连基本的信誉都没有。<br/><br/>Those fresh lobster just for display, no matter you order a fresh one or not. They will exchange the frozen one secretly. We saw this situation and asked them to explain, but they just asked us to leave this restaurant never come back. No apologize, nothing! Terrible service.

We haven't been here for almost a year. The service and food seemed to have gone down hill. We visited on a weekday evening and it seemed very quiet downstairs although they did have some extra bookings upstairs. After being seated, we didn't receive any service at all and we were waiting for someone to take our order for almost 15 minutes. The lady boss is a bit over exaggerated with her service and communication. The portion of the food was relatively small, especially the seasonal crab. We had ordered the Garlic Glass Vermicelli steamed scallop, Golden Salted Egg flavoured Crab and Fried Oyster Pancake. We expected the fried oyster pancake to be fried and crispy like Hong Kong or Taiwan Style, but it turned out to be just an omelette. Although it was just a regular omelette, we were still happy because they had used fresh big oysters. The portion of the Golden Salted Egg Crab was rather small. Unlike most Chinese restaurants, we were not shown the fresh crab beforehand, so after seeing the cooked dish, we anticipated the crab to be only 2 pounds. The crab was slightly overcooked as most of the meat was stuck to the shell. They have a lot of specials available at the moment including Dinner sets and Supper Sets. Although our experience this time was quiet disappointing, we are hoping to return to try their Supper special. Will still give them another chance as it use to be our regular Chinese eatery.

Had dinner with family here, ordered quite a few things but none really special, the fishball soup was bland and more like home cooking, tofu with mushroom & veg, fish with corn sc, beef with black pepper sc, tomiaw in garlic were just okay, prawn in xo sc was damn salty, like basically they put way too much xo sc in it, eggplant in sgp sc was good, thats the one that im gonna go back for. And also saw quite a few of other table ordered crab with noodle, which ill order when i go back next time. Service was flustered and slow, such a small restaurant with at least 4 waiters inside but they definitely couldnt cope.

It used to be good food! Its really unfortunate that its no longer good, the food tastes really bland (XO pipis, pork intestine, chicken, pigeon, even the crabs) its really dissapointing for our last dinner experience. Service was average.

AVOID at all costs !<br/>If I could give zero stars to this dump, I would.<br/>Food way overpriced for what it is...better to go next door to Noodle Kingdom where you also get decent service ...<br/><br/>At this Wong Joint however, I sat there waiting almost forever for the waitress to even acknowledge my presence to take my order ... <br/><br/>Couldn't be bothered even looking at my direction and when I finally managed to get her to my table and proceeded to order my first dish directly off the menu, she could not understand me and repeated my order some other strange unknown name for the dish, to which I had to repeat my order to her.<br/><br/>Then when I proceeded to start ordering my 2nd dish, someone else distracted her with a question and she left me mid sentence without a word of an apology and promptly walked away from my table and then walked up and down past my table several times deliberately distracted with her other business, not noticing my presence or even reassuring me, despite my very animated hand waving.<br/><br/>Suffice to say, disgusted with this level of beyond appalling service, I promptly rose to my feet and headed for the door...and looking right back in through the shopfront window, I observed that it barely even registered with them, as that deadbeat waitress promptly cleared my table totally nonchalantly.<br/><br/>Awful !

Not to be confused with Wong’s Lucky Bar, Wong’s Kitchen on Station Street in Box Hill is a Chinese/Cantonese restaurant that most people seem to come for their seafood dishes. Wong’s Kitchen isn’t a very large restaurant, so more often than not, bookings are required. Crab and egg noodles are probably one of my favourite Chinese dishes as a kid. The crab flavour combined with the wok stir fried noodles is delicious and I could honestly eat just the noodles all on its own. The crab at Wong’s Kitchen is quite nice too, I might add.

Pretty standard Chinese Cantonese cuisine. We had a banquet and added some more dishes on to suit the number of people in our group. The place is a bit small and could be cleaner - the walk to the bathroom is almost terrifying. The staff also kept changing our bowls and plates although it was completely unnecessary.

Uncomplicated and authentic Cantonese cuisine<br/> ..... good service too.<br/><br/>Getting rare .... White Linen, not expensive, friendly service, good variety of honest good food on the Menu, ample but short stuff on the wine list, plenty of beers, a bit noisy even at 10 pm, open to 2 am, that's what Cantonese restaurant is all about.<br/><br/>Plenty of good option on the Menu, check out their Chef's specials; Steamed Flounder with/out Chilli.<br/><br/>A bit of fusion like Mustard Diced beef and live Seafood. <br/><br/>Enjoy, just mind the noise.

Had roast duck noodle, dry. Service was great and smart: would you like an add-on? Silky and soft tofu in sweet gingered syrup for $1? Sure, I said. Chinese tea was FOC as with all these type of small outlets. All yummy 😋

You are here because you want to have crab or lobster, not the other normal shared mains. For that go somewhere else as this is one of the places around that has reasonably priced seafood. <br/><br/>We had salty egg crab (overcooked though), chilli crab, spring onion and ginger lobster, and salt and pepper lobster to share for the family. I didn't order, so I would have changed the combination a bit, but nonetheless it was still a tasty meal.

Loved my experience here. Though its quite pricey, but lobsters were fresh, food was really good. Service was good as well. Would really come back for another round of good dinner with the family. You get what you pay.

Very dissatisfied: pipies were not fresh, XO sauce not tasty, spicy pork ribs not spicy & battered/greasy, vegetable sauce very flavourless and the whole experience really expensive. Will not return!

One of the better chinese food stall in the foodcourt of Boxhill mall. Huge variety of food and it never fails to impress us each time we visit! Delicious, authentic and huge portions. Will definitely come back if we visit Box hill.

Ask for a nice fresh vegetarian stir fry with noodle & you receive a slimy oily disappointment with a very poor selection of veggies. And the live fish tank was over crowded with very sickly looking almost dead fish. Not somewhere I will be going back to.

The Chinese/Cantonese food at Wong's Kitchen is quite nice. Flavours are good and not too oily or salty, which can be a problem with some other Chinese restaurants. <br/><br/>Wong's Kitchen doesn't have the best ambience but is in line with a lot of other Chinese eateries. Paper table clothes also cheapen the place a little. The waiters there are polite and also work at a pretty fast pace. Food also comes out pretty quick also.<br/><br/>The menu is quite big and plenty of dishes to choose from. Dishes are consistent and you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Dishes which I've tried and really enjoyed include XO pippies with Chinese doughnut, free range chicken, fish with Chinese broccoli, crab with noodles and beef with mustard sauce.<br/><br/>Wong's Kitchen is great for a late night feed as they are open past midnight, and are one of the better options to eat at that time.

Waste of time and money. Even as an ABC service was non existent. 1.5hour wait for the first dish. Zero service. Made eye contact and asked for service only for waiter to walk the other way repeatedly. Food coated in BBQ sauce. Seated with our chairs half a metre from the doorway. Chair kicked by every person coming in and out. Floor covered in grease and black slime.<br/>Would recommend/10

Excellent Food but the surrounding could be improved.. Excellent mud crab and pipi dishes, loved every bite. However, the place is just too crowded and noisy. Plus tables and chairs all dirty especially the floor is all greasy, slippery. Do not put your bag on the floor as the floor is gross. But if you are someone who wants just good food and don't mind anything else, then go for this place, its really nice. The pipi sauce is so amazing.

Rude waiter. Don't go if you have kids. They have a waiter acting like he was the owner who told us to f#$ k off because we needed a high chair for our daughter.

Alex Lee. The Chef's Special's "Free Range Chicken" and "Taro-stufffed Duck" are really delicious. A "Must-Try-dish" when you are dining in this restaurant. I will definitely come back again!

DO NOT GO HERE! joined urban spoon just to write a review for this restaraunt. The staff barely acknowledge you and don't understand what you're saying, plus the food is over-priced, poor quality and small sized! Spring rolls (entree) came out smaller than a size of a pinky (there was only 4 of them, would have been charged $11 for this as it was 2 servings) This place is an absolute disgrace!

This place is truly delicious! They have a free range chicken dish which is the best I've had so far! The only thing lacking is probably friendly staff..

Just dined at Wongs Kitchen wow worst experience everrrrrrrrrr! The waitress taking the order forget to place it with the kitchen!! 75 mins later we got our food bit by bit this place should be shut down it's an embarrassment to the industry shame on you shame shame shame!!!

We were immensely disappointed with the food. Food quality did not justify the ridiculous high prices they charge.

Sometimes better to wonder.... I don't know who Jason is, but agree - the chicken is nice. Nothing to write home about though. It wasn't like "wow, this is amazing. I have to come back here again". We had a crispy fried prawn dish that was so overly greasy it wasn't crisp - you know when something is so full of oil it can't hold its own. The vegetable hotpot was probably the nicest (meaning well cooked, taste was still underwhelming) of the entire night. Service is extremely amateurish - almost like high school kids. And I think the high school kids at Maccas are more professional. I tried to go to the toilet and immediately offered me a fork. And yes, they stare at you. I thought it was because I was the odd one out (Caucasian with my chinese family), but Jason (whoever u are) has confirmed that its not just me. Maybe they have a thing against people whose names start with the letter "J"? Seriously tho, I wasn't footing the bill on this one, but I still feel jaded from the experience. Had always wondered what was behind the mysterious curtain veil. Sometimes it's better to be left wondering...

Terrible food and service, I was been stared by a waiter for the whole night while i was having a meal, it was very uncomfortable. The food price is cheap but bad, not recommended

The free range chicken is very well done. The tasty food makes up for the bad service. The place was packed at dinner time.

The food and menu not bad,but the service nearly ugly,v-vvvvverrry bad.

Excellent food. The spicy salted crabs are always delicious, cooked perfectly and fresh as always over the 5 plus times I have been there. The veggies cooked in garlic taste great. The sweet and sour pork dish is also really good. We usually get fried chicken ribs which can come in two different styles, spiced chilli salt or salted egg yolk style, both styles are awesome, the salted yolk is a lot more richer, but its my favourite dish. The last time we went we tried this beef with wasabi sauce, I generally hate wasabi but this unusual menu item was worth trying, their garlic beef is also good. Another dish we order frequently is the eggplant claypot! Every dish I named are dishes I recommend, we also get served complimentary fruit and dessert. The red bean crispy pancakes are legendary, and not too sweet on the tooth. The only downfall is when the restaurant is super busy, food can come out a little slower than usual. Love it

Comments. The dish Chinese vegies with shrimp cake was horrible. The chicken was good. At the end of our meal we got free dessert but it was horrible because it was small and thick could not finish it. The fruits were given to us without any cutlery. If you do not want to provide dessert n fruit, please don't give then. Otherwise do it properly please.

Beautiful fresh flavours. Great service

Hainan chicken rice. A must try in this Wong's Kitchen. Easily the best in Melbourne!

Cheap and tasty. Go for the empress chicken, taro duck, and deep fried chitterlings (pig intestines). good prices, conveniently located, reasonable asian service, food comes quickly

Some dishes was a little bit salted<br/>Price cheap<br/>Overall good<br/>The manager was so good

Wong's Kitchen was a tip off from my mother.  If she said it was worth going to, then it usually is as my mum is nothing short of discerning and loves nothing less than seeing value for her money. Wong's Kitchen is set unpretentiously in a food court in Box Hill.  It holds its own very well next to the plethora of Asia eateries in the area.  On my mum's recommendations, we ordered: The roast duck on rice ($8.50).  This was a generous serving of breast and leg meat and the price was surprisingly low for roast duck. Fish ball noodle soup ($8.50),  Once again whopping serves.  Apparently the fish balls are made on premises and one can buy these separately to cook at home.  I enjoyed the fish balls, great texture.  The flavour of the broth was light and clean.  A good dish for a great price. Kiddo had the BBQ pork with rice noodles ($9). The BBQ pork were tender and not too fatty.  The serving size was not as gargantuan compared to the dishes. Silky bean curd ($2).  We had the sweet and warm version with ginger syrup as dessert.  I love this stuff.  So silky it dissolves the instant it hits your mouth.  It's poetry. Verdict:  We loved it. Overall Wong's Kitchen is cheap eats done right.  The roast meat dishes are definitely their specialty.  I have tried their more hawker stall offerings on other occasions such as the Hainanese Chicken rice.  That was disappointing.  So the moral of the story is, stick with their roast meat dishes and you can't go wrong.
