I thought I knew wonton noodle soup after trying it in countless cities across the U.S., but in Hong Kong, it's simply on another level. And this spot is no exception. The star of the show is the noodles.....cooked to a nearly indescribable texture. They're al dente in the truest sense, yet so firm and fresh they offer a meaty, satisfying bite without even a hint of starchy crunch. To preserve their integrity that might otherwise be compromised by sitting in the hot broth, the noodles are served on top of the wontons, with most of them perched above the soup base, an intentional detail that makes a big difference. The wontons themselves are just as impressive. The wrappers have a perfect, delicate texture, while the shrimp filling is plump, fresh, and full of flavor. Even if the broth had been forgettable, the dish would've still been a win, but it isn't. The broth is light yet full of depth, with just enough fat and marrow to give it a silky, lip-coating richness that ties everything together. The menu is short and focused. Inside, every square inch of space is maximized for seating, which means you'll likely find yourself twisting and contorting like an Olympic gymnast to get in and out of your seat--but honestly, that's part of the charm. Service is brisk, and once you're done, be ready to spring up so the next hungry guests can take your place.
