What Philomena S likes about Chef Dong:
Lunched with a friend at Chef Dong a week ago. We consumed quite a number of yum char dishes. Every one of them was delicious. The Portugese tarts served at the end of the meal were the best I have ever had. A triumph! and the service too was excellent. Thank you Chef Dong and staff. View all feedback. What Robciv doesn't like about Chef Dong:
Food was deplorable, and service was worse. Why do business like this still survive when there are so many other restaurants that deserve your money. Despicable that the government allows traders like this to remain operational. I think it is time that the Hygiene needs to be contacted, along with other Govt agencies. View all feedback.

All the dished we had was exceptional. Mongolian sizing steak was the best I have had. Wine list is very reasonably priced Great value food and drink prices

Friendly service and accommodates to Gluten free, but food is average, gave us the wrong dish, and is over priced.

Good food, but be prepared to pay more than your average Chinese. Not super authentic, but close. They can do gluten free if you request.

A recent visit to this Chinese restaurant left a mixed impression. The dining room was nicely decorated and service throughout the evening was exceptional. However, there were some disappointments with the food, particularly in terms of temperature and quality. The beverage list was well-priced, but overall the value for money was questioned. Inconsistent experiences and some issues with staff interaction left a negative impression on some patrons. On the other hand, others have had wonderful experiences with the food, service, and ambiance, praising the delicious dishes and friendly service. While some may hesitate to return due to past experiences, others see this restaurant as a new favorite for authentic and tasty Chinese cuisine.
