Reviews Wong's Kitchen

A History of Forward Thinking. This restaurant should be a Saskatchewan history must see. The original owners (who have since sold the restaurant and moved out of province) were tremendously forward thinking. I am not sure when exactly the place was built but I would guess that it was built in the early 70s or late 60s. The building is very interesting both inside and out (I uploaded a picture of the outside). It is a Chinese style building and I do not know of any other Chinese restaurant in the province that was built in such a traditional Chinese way. To do this, in the middle of rural Saskatchewan in the 60s or 70s was tremendously innovative and shows forward thinking. The place is worth a visit for this reason. At its peak, the restaurant was quite an institution in Swift Current with a late night bar and an entertainment stage. The stage is no longer there and I understand that it now closes much earlier than it used to. The food is ok. It is not great but it is ok.. Intermixed with Chinese items there are steaks (and lobster) on the menu. I suspect that the lobster is frozen but I am not sure about that. The buffet is pretty average for an all-you-can eat Chinese in Saskatchewan and the place was reasonably busy when we visited. The prices are great. I have taken some photos of the buffet.
