Cheap and Chewfull
Along the gritty bustle of Streatham high street, Mrs Wong's will not immediatly catch your eye. Its small, has no exotic name, and looks quite unremarkable. But as the great Confucious once said "a restaurant that emphasises everything, emphasises nothing"
What does that mean? It might mean that Mrs Wongs best features are subtly found inside...and if you're like me, you are going to love being inside Mrs Wong's !
I found Mrs Wongs while walking the High Street with my visiting parents looking for a decent meal, we initially walked by Mrs Wongs as there are many restaurants in that section of Streatham High Street, however based on a complete walkabout of the area, we felt Mrs Wongs customers looked the most content of all the restaurants we had spied on (you know, that akward cup-your-hands-on-the-window-and-stare-at-people-eating thing).
Although this is a chinese restaurnat with all the expected dishes, there are also a number of more authentic and pleasingly fresh and healthy options on the menu. I can tell you that my parents and I are far from culinary experts, but we found the food delicius, promptly served, and very well presetned, with a rather ornate exotic-looking hot plate provided to keep everything warm. And on top of all that there was more food than you could shake a stick at!
Another bonus is you may bring your own booze, with wine available at a local corner store very close. So including some cheap wine and all the food I think our bill for 3 came to just over £30!
A very decent price, great food and lovely atmosphere. Thank you Mrs Wong!
*** I would have given 5 stars but it was only my first meal there. If it continues to be great I'll revise to 5 stars.
