Since opening six years ago, Williams Landing Shopping Centre has established itself as a genuine community hub, with its licensed dining precinct a melting pot of cuisines and the -go-to spot for meeting up with friends for a coffee and treats.
Anchored by Woolworths, the architecturally-striking centre has 25 specialty stores that attract shoppers from all over who’ll find 400 parking spaces, as well as easy access from the train station and bus services.
There’ll be plenty of buzz in the lead-up to Christmas, with the Makers Market – relaunching on December 6 – the place to find unique gifts among the handmade art, locally made fashion pieces, jewellery, homewares and home-baked sweets.
And from November 26, shoppers have the chance to win a share of giveaways valued at $10,000 in the centre’s ‘Scratch and Win’ promotion.
The dining precinct has reopened and restaurants are now taking bookings for both indoor and outdoor dining.

Wok Wok BBQ & Chinese Cuisine – Happy customers a key ingredient
As a local resident, Charlene Fang noticed that her community lacked a Chinese restaurant so she took the bull by the horns and launched Wok Wok BBQ & Chinese in Williams Landing Town Centre three years ago.
In no time at all, Charlene formed friendships with many of her customers, and is so grateful that her regulars gave great support during pandemic restrictions. She says their first greeting on collecting a takeaway was usually “How’s business? I hope you guys are all right”, which she found so touching.
Wok Wok offers a big range of tasty dishes, using fresh ingredients, with chefs lovingly preparing traditional Chinese cuisine, as well as Cantonese-style barbecue dishes of pork, chicken and duck.
Keen to keep her customers happy, Charlene takes feedback seriously, reading every review and taking on board suggestions and any improvements needed.
“We want everyone to be happy with what we serve, and take pride in meeting expectations,” she says. “Our team is great and we always tell each other about any comments and adapt and respond where necessary.”
Pre-ordered takeaway and dine-in special
Peking Duck ($45, takeaway): 20 pieces of Peking duck, 20 wraps, cucumber, spring onions, and Peking duck sauce.

“This special dish needs to be pre-ordered, starting from Tuesday, and it will be ready for pick-up or delivery on either Saturday or Sunday.”
