Wang Wang Pancake

   We ordered quite a lot to try. spring pancakes, shredded pork in Peking sauce, pork & chive dumplings, egg & chive pancake, stir fried eggs with bean sprouts and mushrooms, sweet & sour pork with pineapple, and hot & sour soup. The egg & chive were tasty (a bit oily though), and the hot & sour soup was just okay. But the rest of the dishes were really good! I especially loved the spring pancakes. you can wrap them up with the fillings however you like, which makes it super fun to eat. Overall, a yummy meal and definitely worth it!

   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Gem! Worth the Wait for Authentic Bliss.** I visited Wangwang Pancake on Father's Day 2025, and despite the expected chaos, it was a fantastic experience that absolutely lived up to the hype. This place is a genuine treasure on Dominion Road. Let's talk about the **service** first. Yes, it was incredibly busy—a testament to how popular this spot is—and yes, it did take a significant amount of time to get our food. However, this is where Wangwang shines in its fairness and communication. They have a brilliant system where orders are completed table-by-table. A simple glance at the order numbers on the board told us exactly how many tables were ahead of us. This transparency completely removes any frustration from the wait. You know you haven't been forgotten and that your turn is coming. The staff were hustling non-stop, managing a constant stream of both dine-in customers and a huge number of Hungry Panda delivery orders. They were efficient and focused, and we completely understood the pace given the special day. The **atmosphere** is exactly what you'd expect from a bustling, authentic eatery—it's vibrant, noisy, and not great. It's not a quiet, romantic fine-dining spot; it's a place where people come for seriously good food. The buzz of conversation, the sizzle from the kitchen, and the constant flow of delivery drivers create a lively and real environment. I also loved seeing the diverse mix of customers—from families celebrating Father's Day to groups of friends and, wonderfully, several Pākehā diners all enjoying the food. It’s a great sign of a place that transcends cultural boundaries and appeals to everyone who appreciates quality cuisine. Now, the main event: the **food**. It was nothing short of excellent and met every expectation. We ordered a variety of their signature pancake rolls and they were worth every minute of the wait. The pastry was perfectly flaky and layered, achieving that incredible crunch without being greasy. The fillings were generous, flavourful, and fresh. Each bite was a perfect combination of texture and taste. It's clear that everything is made to order with care, which is why it takes time. This isn't fast food; it's fresh, authentic Chinese street food made with skill. In summary, Wangwang Pancake is a must-visit. Manage your expectations: go knowing it might be busy and you'll need a little patience, but be assured that the system is fair and the payoff is immense. The food is spectacular, authentic, and worth every cent. I will absolutely be back, though maybe on a slightly less hectic day! Highly, highly recommend.

   Very authentic Chinese wraps where you order the individual fillings and assemble your pancake. The flavours are good - a little oily but you can ask for a less salt and less oil. Generous portions at a reasonable and affordable price makes this a good option for sharing. They also have dumplings and Chinese breads. Recommended!

   You'll love the tasty food at a great price here. The pancakes are filled with delicious veggies and meat. Even though the place is small and busy, the staff is super friendly, the place is clean and parking is a breeze.

   First time here after seeing a video online and didn't disappoint. I've been on Dom road many a times to try the different places and would have never come here had it not been for that video. Hole in the wall place and older interior. Server doesn't speak much English but just pointing at the menu is fine. Had hot tea and 2 dishes, shredded pork and pork mince and bean sprout along with 20 pancakes (cause 10 wasn't enough for us 2). Both were delicious and pancakes was super thin. Would love Chilli oil but I didn't ask so maybe they have this. I'll be back next time we go to Dom road.

   Really enjoyed the food - delicious and a new way of eating Chinese food with pancakes. Busy little shop, don't think it has a toilet, the two staff team do a commendable job getting food out quickly. It's not a flash place but I really liked it, food was great and I'd come back.

   Small but lovely restaurant..they were very busy when we visited which is why it took a while for the food to be served, but it was worth waiting for! The staff's English is not great, but with the help of other customers, we got it sorted! We had pancakes, egg and chives, cabbage and glass noodles, gua ba rou (a sweet pork dish) and sour chilli potatoes. The food is North Eastern Chinese and one of my favourite regional foods! Highly recommended.

   This is one of our favourite place for lunch. It is a small place and usually quite crowded. Be early and you will get your table. Though small but sitting was pretty comfortable. Service was friendly and the food was good. The servings were reasonable and the prices were affordable. If you like some simple Chinese food, this may be the place for you.
