Phoen Wong Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in New South Wales

The food is what you go there for but best just grab a takeaway or get there early. We arrived about 7.30pm on a Friday night just wishing to relax, have a nice meal, converse and catch up after a busy week. It was fairly quiet with about 20 diners scattered throughout, so didn't envisage any problem as the listed closing time was 10pm.

Unfortunately our favourite Chinese shop run by Mae that always gave the town such lovely Chinese has changed hands, we really wish Mae all the best!! The new owners have been changing the menu & the flavour of Chinese food we have all loved for so long is no longer what it once was, there is a new menu, lunchtime specials are no longer available, the flavour has gone.
