Wongs Bristol is a Chinese restaurant at 12 Denmark Street, close to Bristol Hippodrome and Bristol Beacon. Its large dining room and wide menu suit both an individual lunch and the kind of shared dinner where several regional dishes can be compared around the table.
The kitchen draws from China's major culinary regions rather than concentrating on one narrow style. Cantonese, Sichuan, Shanghai and other traditions appear through steamed, braised, roasted and stir fried dishes, giving diners a choice between delicate flavours and more forceful chilli or peppercorn heat.
Starters and dim sum include spring rolls, dumplings, siu mai and prawn dishes, followed by meat, duck, seafood, tofu and vegetables. Rice and noodles complete an à la carte order, while set dinners assemble several courses for couples or larger groups.
Vegetarian choices extend well beyond one token main, and delivery or takeaway is available alongside restaurant service. The central location makes Wongs particularly practical for a pre theatre meal, while the extensive selection rewards diners who have time for a longer banquet style visit.
