Mr. Wong

The latest venture from the Hemmes family, whose empire includes hotspots like Est and The Ivy, this on-point modern Cantonese den pays homage to yum cha (dim sum). The 240-seater, two-level, French Colonial-inspired restaurant has group tables, private dining rooms and the occasional table for two, and serves up Cantonese classics such as Chinese-roasted duck, along with riffs on old favorites, like the “faux” shark fin soup. But, of course, the dim sum selection is the star: expect to be plied with an array of delicious morsels like steamed barbecue pork buns, seafood dumplings, lobster rolls and turnip cakes.
