The Welcome Restaurant has won a range of awards throughout the years, including Best Belfast Restaurant, Master Chef and Egon Ronay Awards. Now in it’s second generation, we are celebrating our 40th year of operations!Ĭharlie and Michael Wong, sons of the founder, took over the restaurant in 2016.Ĭharlie has been working for 10 years abroad in places such as USA, Bhutan, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong in the Food and Beverage industry. The Stranmillis Restaurant was opened in 1982 by the then Lord Mayor, Tom Patton. The Wong family opened their first Welcome Restaurant in Northern Ireland in 1973. A simple ice cream dessert, asked what flavours, were told 3 choices and how many balls (2) asked for vanilla and strawberry which he could not do, they can only do same flavour, why, because the ice cream was hard and could not take a scoop from each!!!!!!!! As a visitor I would not go back but my friend goes there for lunch at least twice a month, was very surprised.We will be offering ONLY our Valentine’s Menu on Valentine’s Day (14th February 2023) When the request for desserts was made, again really cannot believe what we were told by the original gentleman we first meet. A red wine ordered never arrived so had to be ordered again. Food was excellent but my friend who is a vegetarian did not get much help so ended up with the omelette. Ordering the food was interesting having to ask details of some of the meals was told by a young lady who had very, very limited English and then had to get some else to explain. At this stage if my husband and I had been on our own we would have walked out, it had taken us 30 minutes by car to get there. We could see 5 tables for four people free. When a young lady came to see us the man again made gestures for us to stay seated as no tables available. Met at door by a tall miserable looking gentleman and before we could say what we wanted the telephone rung and he took the call and with his hand movements was telling us to seat in the waiting area for customers waiting for their takeaways, already 2 people waiting both the 2 young people gave up their seat as we are 4 pensioners aged from 68 to 84 one gentleman having the aid of a stick. On arrival only 3 tables being used by 7 people. As we walked into restaurant at 7pm had not made a reservation needing a table for 4. We were visiting friends and were their guests. Never in all my life have i been as furious leaving a restaurant, an absolute disgrace! Who ever owns this restaurant should be ashamed of themselves for being so disrespectful towards families!!!! Of course i did tell the Chinese fella off whilst leaving. that they can just eat what we are having! As if my one year old and six year old will eat curry or satay?!!!!! So we had to leave hungry! Absolutely furious. She came back and told us that the kitchen would not make us anything for the children as they were too busy. I pleasantly explained we had a long day and our boys were hungry could i order theirs first. Relieved they did.BUT After a few minutes of being sat down, i asked the waitress was there any kids meal, in which she replied no! Completely shocked i asked was it possible to have even chicken balls and sausages, she said yeah we can do that for you. After finishing Christmas shopping and desperate for a restaurant which was not booked up on a Saturday evening in Belfast we found this chinese, but before i tropped the whole family out of the car, i ran in first to make sure they had room for two adults & 2 kids. ![]()
