cybermuleSeeing as I just enthused about the Zutons, now I should be a proper reviewer and be scathing.
Soooo.... the Wi Wong. It can be found at the bottom of Gloucester Street in Stroud, and admittedly was our second choice after the excellent Hong Kong Kitchen at the top of the High Street was closed.
As my brother pointed out, "wong" must be chinese for "bother". I'd give the Chinese credit for more syllabic thriftiness, and upgrade that to a "f*cking bother". The vegetable chow mein was cold and greasy, and the chilli shredded beef looked (and probably tasted) like semi-frozen dogfood.
We would have gone to complain, but we all felt too sick.
One tiny glimmer in their favour is that their spring rolls are obviously handmade, and rather tasty with it. Otherwise, just go to the top of the High Street instead.
