This was a good place to have Wonton, but they have close up the shop already. Too bad is hades to find a place like this again.

Soup was good. Price is great. Only complaint I have is the portion size — I was still hung. Ordered a green vegetable on the side which was ok. Place was not busy. Good for a fast cheap meal.

It is recommended by a friend. There aren’t too many people here on a Sunday early night. We order mix toppings. Wonton and beef brisket, Wonton and minced fish paste, and dumpling noodle. The wonton is hugh. It is the size of a ping pong. It is very tasty. The minced fish paste is smooth and does not have a fishy smell. The beef brisket is not that great. The beef is a bit tough and a lot of fat floating on the soup. Overall it is a cheap, fast and family restaurant. I think it is also a place for MSG lover.

Eating Wonton Noodle Soup gives me a certain kind of comfort! Hot soup, Big shrimp wonton, Chili oil makes the meal complete. Wonton and Fish Ball Noodle($ 5.50) really hit the spot. But for some, the portion might be consider as a snack. Service here is fast and simple. Order, Eat and Pay!

Very authentic Hong Kong wonton noodle place. The noodles wereperfectly crunchy and the wontons were filled with shrimp. Have it with fish balls and a side of veggies, life’s good!

Hidden among the many Chinese businesses at New Kennedy Mall, this noodle shop offers the usual combinations of wonton noodle soup, beef, beef brisket, fish balls, noodle soups and lo meins that most dedicated noodle houses offer. I had their flagship product, the wonton noodle soup which consisted of a tasty soup, ample noodles and four huge shrimp filled wontons. Although not your«authentic» shrimp-pork wontons the all-shrimp orbs were delicious. The meal was filling for a fiver and offered proof once again that dedicated noodle restaurants are a cut above their full menu counterparts when it comes to WTNS. Service is fast and friendly and your meal is delivered to you within minutes of ordering especially during the busy lunch period. Seating consists of booths and tables.

Although they only do a few things at this restaurant, they do it well. Seating is not that comfortable, but given that it’s pretty much designed to be an eat and get the heck out kind of place, that’s to be expected. Wontons are nice and fat, beef is very well done, dace fish balls large… Consistency could be improved, but overall a great fast eat!

If you are looking for a quick, tasty and simple bowl of noodle soup, this is the place. Not to mention, its cheap cheap cheap. Don’t let the cheap fool you, everything is quite flavourful and simple. The way a good bowl of noodle soup should be. They have a good sized simple menu with many choices. My wife had the Shrimp wonton and noodle soup, the shrimp wonton’s were plentiful, surprising given the price of $ 5. I had the beef brisket noodle soup. Very tasty and the beef was cooked perfectly. We also ordered a side dish for $ 2.50 of Chinese broccoli with Oyster sauce. Chrisp, clean and tasty and was a great addition to our meal. It can get very busy here on weekends, so go early and don’t plan on sitting around for a long time, order, eat and get out of there so you can share the goodness with the ones waiting. I gave this a 4 because for the price and the way they cook it with so much flavour its a great balance.

inheriting the simple menu concept from one of the best noodle places in hk(jim chai kee), wonton chai offers only few things on the board: wonton, sliced beef, fish balls, and beef brisket. they are to be consumed in soup form: by itself, with yellow noodle, flat rice noodle, or thin rice noodle. on the menu, there are a few more things, which revolve around noodles in one form or another. nice addition for those who want to venture out of their staple items. my bf and i ordered three dishes(bowls? lol) and a drink: 1. beef brisket w/thin rice noodle in soup – the meat is flavorful and tender, noodles cooked right. i only felt like the soup base, while tasty, could be just a tad stronger, like those we have in hk. 2. signature wonton in soup, on its own(no noodles) – flawless. wonton skin is thin and soft, shrimps inside are fresh(i.e. no super strong white pepper smell to cover bad shrimp taste) and cooked al dente, soup base is flavorful. again, flawless. 3. yellow noodles(w/meat) in chilly tomato sauce, peking style(«jin dao ja jiang mian») – the yellow noodle is cooked perfectly, it’s crunchy(al denta crunchy, not deep-fried crunchy!) and each strand just bounces between your teeth like it’s on a trampoline! my only complaint is that the sauce – while a bit too«saucy”/watery and has mushroom and all in it, weird – is a bit too heavy on the spice – i know it is supposed to be a little spicy, but i was made to keep sipping my drink, which interfered my enjoyment of the noodle slightly, that’s all. but the noodle itself made up for it; each crunchy bite was just too heavenly i couldn’t stop eating it one bite after another. even my bf regretted ordering his rice noodle and said should’ve ordered the yellow noodle instead. which he should have – it’s a flagship item! ordered a cold soy bean milk as drink but it seems they either pre-made those or ordered from a vendor; it came in a take-out cup from their drink fridge. taste and level of sweetness are both ok, but since it may not be made on premise, i wouldn’t count points against or towards them. overall, this is a great place to get quality noodle and wonton. i’m only slightly disturbed that the cashier lady not only used no gloves when handling the raw noodles(it was down time; she was separating the big bunch of noodles into proper serving sizes), she only patted the flour off her hands when she went to take our bill and make changes. not only that, she THEN went straight back to touching the raw noodles, no washing hands in between necessary – gross!!! yeah i know the noodles will be cooked in hot boiling water and all, so i can almost allow the no gloves situation. but touching other things(the counter, the cashier, the bills, the coins, the compartments inside the cashier, etc) then going right back to food? that’s begging for food contamination out loud. methinks they really should pay attention to that. even though we both felt a little thirsty/dry-mouthed after eating their noodles(MSG alert?), i would not hesitate to go back again. sidenote on Lynda W’s comment about the«vegetarian version» of the soup: while just the noodle + soup combo seems vegetarian enough, people who are on a strict no-meat diet may want to make sure that the soup base isn’t made with bones and meat as well. i highly doubt that is the case since bones and meat are usually what make the soup base savory, and most chinese places do not hesitate to use them. last thing, i think they only appreciate cash. but this is a cheap eat place so one should at least be able to get something out of there with just loose change – especially when dollar«bills» actually come in coins in canada!

Winter is just around the corner, and there’s nothing more hearty then a steaming hot bowl of noodle soup. My new obsession is Wonton soup, so I’ve been on a quest to find that perfect bowl. I’ve gone to wonton chai(translated to Wonton Boy in English) numerous times for both sit in and take out. This place is dirt cheap, fast and absolutely delicious. For $ 2.99 you can get a bowl of egg noodles and broth — that’s the vegetarian version of the soup. The noodles are cooked to perfection, not too hard, but not too soft. The broth is salty but not overpowering. Best of all the food comes literally within the minute after ordering. The restaurant is very simple and no frills. It’s in quite a popular local Chinese plaza in the area. it is often busy on the weekends, especially during lunch and dinner hours(the majority of the stores in the plaza are restaurants). Just drive carefully, and watch out. You may think you have the right of way, but just try to tell that to the guy after he rams into you. Other than wonton noodle soup, there’s not much else to the restaurant. For cheap, fast, filling and tasty food, try Wonton Chai!
