Master Kong Wellington

Step into Master Kong, a Wellington hideaway where vibrant Asian street food comes with a Kiwi twist. It’s more than dining; it's about experiencing the lively food markets of the East, right in Wellington, New Zealand’s culinary hotspot.

The decor blends Far Eastern charm with a contemporary vibe. At Master Kong, diners delve into a setting where neon lights glow and a mix of spices fills the air. It’s a hangout for friends, with chopsticks at the ready, laughter mixing with the sounds of dining and the wok’s sizzle.

Kick off your night with some edamame beans elevated by Kong sauce, fried cauliflower, or popcorn prawns with Taiwanese spices. Try the crispy pork bao, featuring hoisin-kissed cucumber and crackling, or the karaage chicken bun, sweetened with Manuka smoked maple syrup and a zesty hit of Kaitaia fire mayonnaise.

Bigger plates consist of a mouth-watering half-roasted Peking duck with cucumber and spring onion, 12-hour short rib, or the aromatic Thai yellow curry, is a great dairy-free option that can be made vegan. Don't overlook the seared beef tataki, a fusion of rare beef and ponzu sprouts, or the hoi sin crispy pork belly, a crunch of tempura batter mingling with cured egg yolk, offering a feast of textures.

Complement your meal from their thoughtfully selected drink list; from refreshing lagers to bold cocktails, each choice enhances the meal's rich flavours.

As the evening draws to a close, Master Kong becomes more than a place to eat; it transforms into an unforgettable experience. Here, every dish is an exploration, every flavour a memory waiting to happen. Bring your friends, and grab your chopsticks; Wellington’s streets are alive with unparalleled flavours.
