Authentic wonton noodle soup, dumplings, and BBQ pork.
"Ordering at this decades-old legacy business is about as straightforward as it gets. You’re going to want noodles, probably the soupy ones with bite-size wontons served in the same style as the bustling noodle shops found on countless Hong Kong street corners — and at a similarly affordable price point. Toppings run the gamut from stewed beef brisket and tendon to pig’s feet, and the housemade chile oil is a must." - Dianne de Guzman
"You’re at Hon's Wun-Tun House in Chinatown for one reason and one reason only—delicious wonton noodle soup. They’ve been a fixture in Chinatown for more than 40 years, and the space has barely changed over the years. The interior is simple and tiny (there’s just a few tables laid out on utilitarian brick-colored tile), but you’ll be in and out having consumed life-giving soup in 20 minutes flat. The wontons are generously filled with pork and shrimp, and the supremely slurpable broth is packed with stringy noodles. There’s a range of meat options for your soup, but we like the semi-sweet BBQ pork and the fall-apart beef brisket the best." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway, patrick wong

"Egg noodle enthusiasts have been getting their fix at Hon’s Wun-Tun House since the ‘70s, and decades later, the tiny spot on Kearny shows no signs of slowing down. It’s still a revolving door of Chinatown neighbors and downtown office-goers, especially around the lunch rush when everyone emerges for a midday noodle soup break. Once you order, it takes approximately 30 seconds for a steaming bowl of savory broth to land in front of you, and even less time for you to pop back a few of the wrinkly wontons filled with juicy pork and shrimp." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"“A variety of huge dumplings are made to order by a small team here. They’re famous for their wonton noodle soup, but there’s also sui gao, potstickers, and my favorite: the juicy shanghai dumplings. It’s all very good and very fresh. You can also get frozen noodles and dumplings to bring home." - patrick wong
