Wong began acting on the stage of the local theater, while studying at the L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute and working with a film crew on television since the age of 14. Later she studied at Ryerson University, where she studied radio and television.
She continued to play in the theater, combining passion with work until 2005, when she got a role in the Canadian television series "Wonderland", and a year later - in the American show "Runaways".

Her knowledge of martial arts helped the actress land the role of Knives Chu in Scott Pilgrim vs. All in October 2009, although she auditioned three full times before she was cast. At the second audition, director Edgar Wright was surprised to learn that the actress had a green belt in taekwondo, realizing that "this cute girl can kick any man's ass." According to Ellen, the role of Knives attracted her by the fact that "it is not often that an Asian girl becomes an important part of the whole plot, while so powerful and inspiring."
