Henry Wong's, Birmingham

Since Harborne is full of professionals with money and leisure time to burn, it's surprising there are so few restaurants to accommodate their more rarefied tastes. Henry Wong's is one such place, offering expensive Cantonese cuisine in cool, if rather austere, surroundings. Starters are particularly appetising, especially the crispy aromatic duck, but all dishes are freshly prepared and come recommended. Service can be offhand, though, if the waiter thinks you might not be quite posh enough.
