The £235 Tasting Menu, Back at 70 Wilton Road from 29 September
Andrew Wong's Pimlico dining room reopens at 70 Wilton Road on 29 September 2026, after its Mandarin Oriental residency. The dim sum lunch is the entry point.
A. Wong reopens at 70 Wilton Road on 29 September 2026. Andrew Wong's Mandarin Oriental Mayfair residency runs to 26 September; the Pimlico room is closed until the first dinner back, on the Tuesday, and reservations are open. Google's public listing still points at the Mayfair address; ignore it.
Andrew Wong took over 70 Wilton Road from his parents in 2012 and opened A. Wong there with his wife Nathalie — the A for his parents, Albert and Annie. It is a tasting-menu project that draws from across the regional cuisines of China rather than sitting inside any one of them. The dinner menu, The Collections of China, runs at £235 per person. The lunch dim sum, ordered by the piece, is where most Londoners who know the room actually go.
The dim sum lunch is the reason to book A. Wong, and the thirty-course dinner is the reason to hesitate.
Editorial Deep
A xiao long bao arrives with the pleat count you would expect from a kitchen that has thought about this dumpling seriously — the broth inside is clean, hot, and clearly reduced from something real rather than seasoned into shape. This is the shorthand for what Andrew Wong is doing across both menus: recognisable regional Chinese cooking, tuned tighter than the format usually asks for. The dim sum at lunch is the strongest argument the kitchen makes. Ordered by the piece, it lets you build a meal around the four or five things a serious dumpling cook would want you to try, and it is the version of A. Wong most Londoners who know the room actually recommend.
Conversation carries at a normal volume without effort, which is the first thing to say about a room that seats a tasting menu of this length — thirty courses in an acoustically hard space is punishing, and this is not that. Two dining areas do the work: a conservatory at the front and an interior room opposite the open kitchen. The kitchen view is the seat to ask for. Watching a pass this disciplined is part of what you are paying for at dinner, and the counter position gives the meal a rhythm the tables further in do not have.
Reopens at 70 Wilton Road on 29 September 2026, after the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair residency, which runs to 26 September; the first service back is Tuesday dinner, and reservations are open. Google's public listing still points at the Mayfair address; ignore it.
The cheapest visit that still counts as eating properly here is the lunch dim sum à la carte, ordered by the piece — build a table around four or five of the dumplings the kitchen is known for and you are eating the best version of what this restaurant does for materially less than the dinner tasting asks. That is the visit to send a friend to without qualification. The £220 Dim Sum Degustation with the Dom Pérignon flight is a different equation: most of that number is the Champagne, and whether it lands depends on how much you care about drinking Dom Pérignon with dumplings.
The room reopens at 70 Wilton Road on 29 September 2026, and the return visit worth planning is lunch — the à la carte dim sum, the chef's counter if you can get it, a shorter table with a clearer edit than the dinner tasting delivers. That is the version of A. Wong the kitchen executes at its highest level, and it is the seat that releases most reliably.
What to eat
Don't miss.
Lunch dim sum à la carte, ordered by the piece
“The dim sum lunch earns the trip; the dinner tasting earns a longer argument.”
Book lunch first. If the dim sum lands, the dinner tasting is the follow-up; if it doesn't, Trishna does a shorter, more decisive Indian tasting without the thirty-course commitment.
