This traditional Cantonese seafood restaurant, located in Edison, has been a local favorite for years. Despite changing ownership a few times, it has consistently preserved its warm, hometown feel. The weekend Dim Sum is especially popular, offering a homely atmosphere paired with delicious, authentic dishes. It’s the perfect spot for family gatherings, where good food and a welcoming ambiance come together to create a memorable dining experience.

I haven't been here in 10 years since I moved to another state. It tasted just like it did 10 years ago—so delicious, especially the lunch specials. They're cheap and big portions.

Revisited today.... I think it's under new management... Still good taste but the price is not so convincing and there was something going on at checkout.. Pay attention on your charge is my advice... The service was OK but not satisfying. I was a bit disappointed at this revisit.... 11/27/2021 I visited here for its Dim sum hours. Good taste, regular service quality because there were always large crowds there for dim sum ... If you don't like to wait, stay away from dim sum hours.... It's also a pain to find a parking spot around the neighborhood for dim sum hours. Went in last night with friends for dinner. Not crowded as Dim sum hours but still 3/4 tables were occupied. We ordered more than 10 dishes. Served really fast and delicious. Authentic Cantonese cuisine.....

There was a small crowd for a Friday night. We ordered four dishes. Food arrived quickly and the waiting staff was friendly and efficient. Unfortunately, the beef mushroom dish tasted slightly off (mushroom had a weird after taste) and the tofu was under seasoned. Fortunately, our old standby, salty fish chicken egg plant pot was well cooked.

I think the food was a little overpriced. The wait time after ordering was too long. The waitress and waiter were nice but the restaurant is small the best size is for 2-4 people. Not recommend for large groups of gathering.

Food is great, service is the best! If you have any special requests for your party, just let the manager know and he'll arrange it for you. All the servers are attentive and friendly. Thank you for taking care of our family!

Nice and fresh dim sum. Love the lunch special clay pots for fish with tofu and chicken with eggplant. Came with soup and rice. Very tasty and filling.

Update: 2024 Went recently after not going for a long while. I like how they remodeled and was even playing some smooth jazz lol They put soda on your table beforehand so if and when you open it, you get charged for it. The service was great and fast. But sadly, the food is not the same. The servings are smaller and the taste isn’t there. Lower food quality than before. It was okay but not the best. We paid around $30 per person which was good in this economy! Although, overall, we enjoy DimSum Seafood Restaurant in Avenel better! ———————————— Really good food, service wise is so so. I understand the place can get busy so the servers have a hard time checking in. For some reason the last time I went, there was no soda like at all.

We haven't been back since the pandemic. We went on a Monday and ordered 6 dim sum dishes and one lunch special. The dim sum and the lunch all come out hot. All delicious. Even though we only ordered one lunch special which comes with soup, both of us got soup. We were stuffed and had some left over to take home.

Absolutely loved wonder seafood. The staff was so kind and the food was delicious. We ordered nearly half of the paper menu and everything was so good. The staff thought we weren't going to finish it but when we did they rewarded us with a free tofu dessert which was also delicious lol I think they loved that we were honoring their food and enjoying it. I can't wait to go back to experience the carts because we were told there are more food options during the busy lunch schedule. 10/10 recommend !

Chinese restaurant @ Edison, NJ We used to come here for dim sum on weekends but stop coming after covid19 pandemic and ownership change. We were here Saturday around 1pm and didn't have to wait for the table. The place looked pretty same as before, noticed there was a special dinner packages for six people which we would like to try with other family members. We had shrimp roll, steamed bean curd, tripe with ginger, steamed Chinese broccoli and pan fried shrimp and chives. Everything was tastier than the ones at Golden seafood restaurant where the wait is long and have to share table with strangers. We will be back for another dim sum brunch soon!

We drove about an hour to get here on a cold, windy, rainy Saturday morning and, well, we should have took the weather as sign because, disappointingly, our 1st time here was ... well ... you guessed it, a disappointment. I say this like a broken record, but I grew up in NYC and went to every good dim sum restaurant known to every dim sum aficionado in the 5 boroughs, as well as across the U.S. and abroad, and we just have not seen many NJ dim sum restaurants live up to it's easternly neighbor's standard. We were really hoping Wonder would be one of the few to be just as good as any dim sum restaurant we've been to, but, most of the main dim sum dishes just lacked flavor. Rarely, do we ever complain or does ANYONE complain about lack of salt in Chinese food, but, for some reason, most of the dishes we ordered was lacking that. From the dim sum carts (which I do love when they're going around), we ordered shrimp dumplings/har gow, pork dumplings/siu mai, chicken feet, turnip cake, shrimp rice noodle rolls, beef rice noodle rolls, molten egg custard buns, BBQ pork buns, spring rolls, stuffed eggplant and stuffed peppers, chive and shrimp dumplings and sticky rice. Let's just say they had a lot of the usual suspects you can order, which was nice to see. Most of the dim sum was just OK and some of it was downright ehhhh. I will say there were 2 major highlights though - the molten egg custard buns were smokin' hot, specifically the egg custard, which is what you hope for when you bite into that nice soft bun. The 2nd highlight was the BBQ pork bun. I mean, my goodness, it might have been one of the top 2-3 BBQ pork buns I ever had, period! It didn't hurt that it was served super fresh and that the BBQ pork was steamin' hot. Also, the buns were glazed and sticky with some sweetness, which actually made a world of difference. Both are most gets in my opinion. Overall, service was friendly inside and there were multiple carts circling while we were there. We arrived only a few minutes after they opened for service at 11am and easily got a table without a wait and, in fact, there was such quick turnover that we only saw a few people actually wait a little bit for a table. It was actually quite shocking that there was really no wait at all on a Saturday afternoon. Not sure if it's like that every weekend, but, if you're looking to be able to sit down right away for dim sum, this is your spot - just be prepared to know that it might be a bit sub-par depending on your experience and standards.

We ate dinner here with my family. We ordered a bunch of entrees and shared it with everyone. My favorite was the deep fried crispy chicken, crispy roast pork and the vegetable fried rice. Also, i dont know where they get their oranges but I love it so much it was sweet and juicy. Very hard to talk to staff because they couldnt understand what we were saying.

Simple dim sum restaurant in Edison. They were open on July 4th and there was no wait. Like most dim sum places, the food came out in carts. We just ordered the standard dim sum dishes but they do have a menu for non-dim sun items. They have very fresh seafood (still swimming in the tank)! Food was good but nothing mind blowing. The chicken feet was a little too sweet. Fast service. Typical dim sum restaurant vibe with the banquet tables and a stage for weddings or big parties.

We had a banquet dinner for lunar new year celebration. Besides the extremely slow service (an hour wait before the first dish came), many standard dishes ordered, like Peking pork chops, fried chicken with garlic, pan fried steak, stir fried lobsters, came out different/bland/unimpressive. Even the red bean soup was subpar. The expensive dishes, like braised oysters with moss seaweed and braised sea cucumber, were very tiny. And we paid much money for this dinner. What a big disappointment.

NO WONDER the parking lot and dining room was not as packed as usual. The family has been coming here for years. Since I am not local anymore, It has been only on occasion. Craving the walnut mayonnaise jumbo shrimp, my all time favorite there, i decided to bring some home for dinner. The friendly old man that had always welcomed us was not there and replaced by new faces with very little enthusiasm to greet and process my order. The shrimp was just ok, not as amazing as it usually is. The shrimps did not seem so jumbo and the mayo sauce was not the same consistency. I wonder if it is the same owners? Time to find a new fav walnut mayo shrimp spot.

The dim sum is still excellent and the service is still uneven. They even have "soupy" dumplings on the menu but not much soup and eat them quickly before the soup evaporates. I'd pass on those dumplings next time but could eat the Sui Mai and Beef Balls daily.

My partner suggested this location for dinner and I gave him props once we entered. The decor reminded me of the restaurants in Chinatown Chicago- around the 1990s. It was a great throwback and it felt comfortable and welcoming. We ordered a spicy pork dish and spicy shrimp dish. For soup, we had beef and Chinese parsley. The small order has four servings. At the beginning of the meal, you get a snack of garlic fried peanuts. Looking forward to having more dinners here!

We ordered two take out dishes. One fish and one beef. They both were well prepared but we were disappointed in the small portions for the money we paid.

I've had my fair share of dim sum and I had a disgusting experience here Ordered: Pork rolls with tofu skin Small clams Fried shrimp balls Shrimp rice roll Fried taro Congee In both shrimp dishes, the shrimp were sour. In the clam dish, 1/3 of the clams were empty shells.. Congee was decent ...but how do you mess up congee Fried taro was ok - just oily and bland Pork rolls weren't bad Main complaint how gross this place is. Because of where I sat, I watched the manager digging into plates of shrimp with his bare hands for a good minute- touched other people's plates and bills etc and went back to touching these shrimp. The pandemic still exists - this is how Covid ..and other germs spread‍ Also saw a dim sum container fall inside a cart and they just put the food back in and served it. Can't even imagine what goes on in the kitchen Only service was ok. Pretty neutral - not exceptional but not assholes

Extremely happy with my experience here. If you don't have time to make it into Chinatown but want an authentic Chinatown experience, then Wonder Seafood is definitely a place to try. If you are truly adventurous in your tastes, I would recommend giving Beef and Bitter Melon a shot. It's nothing like anything else you have had before as the average Americanized Chinese takeout place is not going to have Bitter Melon on the menu. It is definitely an acquired taste, but once acquired you want to have it again and again. It's truly one of my favorite dishes. My girlfriend, who isn't quite as adventurous as I am, ordered a standard wonton soup a standard roast pork and noodle dish. Again, both were excellent - much better than one would get at a local takeout. So yes, I'd recommend this place and yes I definitely intend to be back!

FRAUD!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!! UNLESS YOU LOVE TO BE SCAMMED! YELLED AT AND CURSED OUT! My family and I have been coming here for decades since this place opened. this pains me to write this review but it has to be done. they need to be exposed. this was the family go-to place every weekend. but ever since they have new management this place has completely gone downhill and now fraud. they ask customers to pay in cash but will not give you a change. they will not tell you this up front, once they take your money and you ask I need change back?! they will say it is because they are not charging tax they have to charge this hidden fee. if you press on and they can't come up with a reason they will whip your money back at you and expect you to not be angry. we are not the only victims of this establishment. they were full-on cursing us out that we have to pay this fee. it is not written anywhere. the management did nothing to stop the front desk from cursing out their customers leads me to believe they are all in on it. I have never walked away from any restaurant this angry in my life before.

My family has been going to Wonder Seafood for more than a decade, so it pains me to write this, but I think both the service and quality of food has gone downhill over time, and the latest episode sort of sealed my impression of them. We arrived for a birthday celebration post-lunchtime at around 3pm to avoid crowds, and this server immediately "hounded" us in a "friendly" way -- he seated himself at our table, hiding all the menus to himself, and either recommended all the items that were market price or suggested making an item that's not in the menu (lobster on sticky rice) in a demanding and declarative manner. When I insisted on asking to see the menu first, he gave it to me albeit reluctantly (a little of "why, I'm telling you the good stuff" attitude) and we felt his pressure to order the recommended, quickly. For a moment he even brought me back into the old experience when I bought my first used car in college! The birthday person (not me) said what the heck, we're here to have fun and he's ok paying and accepted the suggestions. The food came in, the lobster with sticky rice came in and while it excelled in presentation, the content was disappointing. Some parts of the lobster were also undercooked or raw. The sea bass dish came by and the waiter filleted it for us into small plates -- it's delicious and well cooked. The (usual lo mein) noodle came in and it's perhaps one of the plainest, greasiest, worst noodles I tried in recent memory. The noodles were starchy and bland. The Chinese broccoli dish is standard. The clam with vermicelli was perhaps the worst as it has a mushy consistency and the noodles were cold. ALL of the few dim sum and shao lung bao as appetizers we ordered were cold (I understood it's 3pm and shouldn't expect a morning quality, but perhaps heating it up a bit would help?) The spare ribs dim sum is almost all fat with little meat. The recommended lobster dish was $80, fish was $60 and the clam dish was $30. When it came to paying it's a bit weird. Total was $225 (we had to ask for the receipt) and our birthday friend gave $300 cash to pay for it. After more than 20 minutes and twice asking for the change -- I felt they kind of expected the rest to be a tip for this super service -- it came back, with $20 less change. Only after asking for correction we received the proper amount. I understand if the server was eager to provide a commendable service, but there's a line between "pleasing" and "pushing" that they need to understand. I think the server played "polite" groups like us into groupthink with a used car salesman attitude, and I also think he knew it. 1/2 of the food was still okay (but not at those price tags), and the rest was unfortunately a far cry from how I remembered their food pre-pandemic. It's too bad, since their dim sum was usually very good. In the end, you may lose customers due to your eagerness to recommend the more expensive items but leave us with bad taste.

I liked all our orders. This place serves authentic Chinese food. The server seemed snobbish but other than him seeming angry, everything was good. I highly recommend the chicken feet and beef noodles.

Horrible. Went there alot previously and gave 2 stars for previous good experience. Went this Sunday to introduce my boyfriend to dimsum, not a great experience. Sat down and no one gave us plates or silverware. Got one glass of water for both of us and never ever refilled not even once. Everything I asked for smthg waiter acted like I was bothering him. I came at 120p and practically no carts going around even though dimsum ends at 3? The one waitor came and tried to push clams and escargot to us. Since we both hated these items we refused, and he huffed and puffed. I felt so uncomfortable. I ordered off menu for dimsum and everything I got was undercooked. Fine I can deal except I got a raw shrimp dumpling. Was gagging and spit it out. I mentioned this to the employee who didn't care or even reply. I'm never going here again and telling every person I know to avoid. Going to any one of their competitors next time for 100% certainty. Worst dimsum experience I ever had. Bummed bc was so excited.

Beware of the extra charge for tea, the cashier added the charge on the bill without letting the customer know. Normally if you have dim sum tea lunch, the business sometimes charges for tea, or waive the tea charge, we didn't have dim sum. Another scenario is they encourage you to pay cash, then they don't collect the tax only if you remind them, my experience with them was they charged the whole thing anyway. You have to constantly be aware, the woman behind the cash register is quite greedy.

So if your in the mood for some overpriced bland Cantonese food then you can come here. We ordered lobster, black pepper steak, soup, pigeon, fish and a conch. everything was bland. Seems like there isn't much of a Cantonese restaurant selection so they can just be mediocre and still survive. $200 for 6 simple dish. Very overpriced. Compared to anywhere in NY.

I came here for dim sum on a Sunday, and although there were many people, I was still able to be seated without waiting (I arrived around 1:30pm). Everything was fresh and yummy, and there were a decent amount of dim sum carts going around. Would definitely come back here for dim sum in the future!

3 Strikes. My review begins in 2008, when I noticed that my glass cup for soda was dirty. I asked for a new cup and the second one looked even worse than the first one.... Uh hello this one is disgusting. I now receive a third cup. It's a plastic solo cup because apparently they are unable to provide a single clean glass cup. Terrible service. 1st strike. Sometime in 2011-12, we paid for the meal with cash and left 18% and they had the nerve to count the cash and tips in front of us before we even started getting ready to leave. Shameful. 2nd strike. Fast forward to today and I am treating my mother and family to a belated Mother's day dinner. Mom picked this place, not me, but I didn't have the heart to tell her I absolutely hate this place. Ordered lobster, shrimp walnut, salt and pepper squid, pork chops, steamed vegetable, sour vegetable and pork and steamed sea bass. The waitress said the fish was big. Great. So then why did we receive a fish the size of a sardine? I sea no food. I mean look at how much empty space is on the plate. On top of that, every dish was beyond bland and lacked any flavor. Barely any pork, I could count on one hand how many pieces of pork was on the plate. Yes exactly 5. At least the service was ok today? $218 later and I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat later... I do Wonder how this place is still in business..

Have been coming here for around 20 years although not as frequently anymore as there are more options around these days. But Wonder Seafood is still the same old school Cantonese restaurant. Still very good. The Peking style pork chops, stir fried pea shoots, seafood/lobster tofu claypot, salt-baked shrimp, sweet & sour fish, etc. are all always favorites of ours. The place seems frozen in time - the place is a bit tired decor-wise, but clean, but importantly the food still remains the same good quality and great for families. Not as insanely crowded as a long while back when it was the only game in town, but still busy, though it also makes parking and waits a lot better for visits.

Service is great but dim sums are either too sweet or too much MSG. I came back because that's my mom's favorite place because she knows everyone there. The quality of their food is not all there. I believe they changed their chef. I don't think I will go back.

Completely unprofessional cashier. Straight up refused to give change, and when asked she threw the coins at me and proceeded to yell nasty immoral things. This is not how you treat a customer whether you are the owner or not. In the food there was a whole piece of steel wool, imagine if a child had ingested it. If allowed this place should have zero stars based on the experience I have had. If anyone else had dined here with the same negative experiences write reviews so people know to stay away. Sad that the restaurant has reduced itself to this state considering I have been a patron weekly for 10+ years.

I've been here multiple times on the weekend for dim sum, and they are always packed. This time we stopped by on an early Saturday for dinner and were easily able to get a table even though they had a big birthday party that night. Of note, parking can be really bad here and you may have to park on the road across the street. We had fried tofu with veggies, fried chicken with soy and the waiter recommended clay pot eggplant seafood. The fried chicken and tofu are standard dishes we always get, and they did not disappoint, but the clay pot eggplant with seafood was terrible! The eggplant was old and undercooked and the only seafood in it was some minced shrimp and fake crab in a white sauce. Highly not recommended. When the waiter asked how it came out, we told him our thoughts and he just shrugged, said ok and walked away. Next time, We won't be taking any more of his recommendations!!

Food was good, staff were very nice and friendly. My only complaint was they only used one food cart pushing around and it's kinda slow when the restaurant was packed. The cashier wasn't friendly when I was paying my bill, She said something to the server in Cantonese about my bill which I didn't understand. I paid my bill with a debit card and left a 20% cash tip on the table.

Uncooked soup dumplings, told the wait staff. They said next time they'll do better and charged me. So I paid to eat raw pork...

Came for dinner with my bf and his parents. The meal was ok but what I was most upset by was THE BUG IN OUR SOUP. My bf noticed it halfway through the soup and pointed it out to me and we waved down the waiter. When we told him, he said "oh it's like that, it probably came from the watercress" and completely dismissed the situation. Did not call the manager over, did not refund us for the soup and didn't even apologize again when bringing the food over. WASH YOUR VEGGIES NEXT TIME. Never coming back here again.

This review is specifically for the traditional Dim Sum experience which is only available on weekends, I'm not able to comment on the regular food. I'm mostly writing this to share an Important tip from my friend who frequents this place often: On a weekend have your group there at least 15 mins before the place opens! Otherwise you'll be waiting at the front of a crowded, loud restaurant. We went on a rainy day (but still listened to her advice) and was amazed how quickly a line had formed before the place had even opened. (Luckily the line was behind us :D). Be assertive & adventurous and don't expect high quality service because frankly that's just how dim sum is. It's best to go with a group to try/split a bunch of different things. My favs are always shumai/dumplings, anything pork or beef related, and the really fresh-looking greens (see pic). I love Chinese egg custards too but I can't remember if they had them this time around. I've been to dim sum spots in NYC and Philly and this one definitely compares! The prices are great too.

Food and Service are excellent here. This is real Cantonese Chinese food. We came mid week for lunch and had the Dry beef chow fun with a few dim sum dishes. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. If you like spicy, ask for a side of hot oil for your chow fun.

Having lunch here with friends today. We ordered Dim Sum, Fried Flounder, Squid with veggies and Beef Chow Fun. Quite busy place. Lots of locals are eating with us. New owners, I would assume. Waiters and Serving Staff are wearing uniforms, suit and tie. The Beef Chow Fun taste great. The fried fish flounder is crunchy, you can eat the bones through its crunchiness. The squid with veggies is delicious. The squid was sliced in small pieces and sautéed with the fresh veggies. This review is just an update. I've been here several times before.

Come here a lot. Most recently, for dim sum. Food was really good and they were a little short staffed but made up for it with the waiters walking around with trays of food to get more onto the floor. Solid dim sum - the normal - lotus leaves, steamed pork ribs, egg custards, shrimp rolled in rice noodles, roast pork buns, etc. Oh yeah, chicken feet. Don't knock it until you try it. The heat on the sauces are not very but that isn't a knock on them, it really is regional and depends on the place... and the usual clientele. Anyways, always reliable for dim sum and dinner - have had both. Always pretty fresh and tasty. Thanks!

This is our go to place for authentic Cantonese cuisine. Many dishes here remind me of the food I grew up eating. After a day of exhausting car shopping, we craved some comfort food. Here is what we ordered: - Grouper fish & bean curd casserole - Steamed minced pork with salted fish We often like to use our broken Cantonese to order when we get the chance. We both thought the waitress asked if we wanted complimentary soup. We said yes. She then asked which one we would like and my husband said, whichever you recommend. As she was walking away, I'm thinking to myself. When complimentary soup is served, they never give you a choice of different soups. Did we just order a special soup of the day??? Sure enough we did. It came in these cute little ceramic soup cups. Well, we made sure to drink every last drop because we knew that it was going to be quite pricey. And I was right, at $13.98 a cup, we just spent close to $30 for two small cups of soup. Hard to swallow but what are you going to do? At least we knew the soup had health benefits for us. I made sure that I cleaned out that chicken neck bone in the soup! At least the sweet green bean dessert soup was complimentary! Service is always excellent and friendly. One of the best Cantonese cuisine in this area.

I've only come here a few times during the day for dim sum and lunch so my review is based on daytime experience only. The service is pretty quick and typical for a Chinese restaurant. Most servers don't speak fluently English but they pretty much understand for the most part. The food is tasty, good flavors. For the lunch special they have a medium size fried or steamed flounder for only $7.95!! I noticed one day I was there that every table ordered it, why wouldn't you for that price. The dim sum on weekdays can be ordered ala carte upon your request. They don't come out on the carts like they would on the weekends. Some items might take longer then others and especially if you wanted to get seconds of something it might take a while. So my suggestion is, order everything that you might possibly want at once.

So wonder seafood was my first Dim Sum experience and it was out of this world a lot of good food, a lot of stuff I have no clue what it is. There were some dishes that were really good and some ones I would hope to never order again but I didn't know what anything was called so I'll probably have to keep rolling the dice until I pick up what things are. The things I knew what they were that I loved were the sesame balls and the mocha balls. The Egg tart custards were also great. The weekends were defiantly better than the weekday as I went back a few days later with some coworkers and it was all order off a menu and to be honest idk what they brought out and some of the stuff didn't seem right. Getting to see what you're getting is such a better way of doing it. As for tips, don't make eye contact when your full, we got an extra plate that way. Also you need to get here early. We arrived 30 minutes before they opened on a Sunday and I was bewildered why we had to do that until I got into the line that was already waiting. That line keep growing until they opened the door. That's a little insane and probably a testament to how good this place is.

Dim sum is like 11-1 on the weekend they come around with carts. Has been the same staff and layout for the past 10 years so it's nice to see everyone around. Parking tricky because of the clientele. Food amazing. Authentic atmosphere.

Not good. I've paid $60 for moldy lobsters. ------ I got cheated. During COVID I ordered food from them and got served rancid seafood. I got cheated out of $30 for rancid smelling lobster. Either they open up and serve people or they will continue serving left over moldy stuff. This has never happened before. I won't be back unless this restaurant returns to normal functioning capacity. They only do takeout now. Not in a hurry to go

I went on a Sunday morning. Parking is awfully, limited but you can park at the Pizza Hut and walk like 3 minutes to the restaurant. The food is a bit bland and the prices are substantially higher then the other ones I have been to in New Jersey. The small dish begins at $2.95 but most are considered medium at almost $3.50 a dish. The bill is easily racked up but that is not what my review is for. The review is for the food and how everything is sub par compared to others such as the dim sum seafood restaurant in avenel. The steamed Beef rice I was very small compared to the usual outside restaurants. There was no choice for tea but you Are charged for it yet.

Most of foods are very good here, but they will charged $1.00 for a rice even though you ordered a dish which it doesn't come with rice. When I ordered for takeout they round up the each food price. If it was $11.95, they tried to charge you $12.00. I know it's only .05 cent but it not right. And also they tried to charge me 7% sales tax. Which is WRONG. It 6.625%. I had to ask to change and charge me correct tax. I ask for print out itemized receipt, they just handed me a total price as the receipt. I was coming here since 2010 it almost 8 years. But place is looking for a way to make extra few cents per each customer.

My sister and I came here because we wanted to eat some Dim Sum on a weekday. The staff here is friendly and took good care of us. The food dim sum was delicious and was cooked as we ordered it. The only down fall is the cashier who wore a suit looked like a manager was not very honest. He overcharged me on our food and only gave me back $5 when I was supposed to get back $15 from my change. Overall, be careful when paying in cash and always check your bill.

I recommend this restaurant for Chinese/Cantonese families, but not for others. The food was really good. The service was very good but also very Chinese. The servers were kind of hovering (we had a big party) and somewhat micromanaging our table, constantly pouring drinks and taking away plates. We really appreciated this service, but it might be a bit intense for people who aren't used to it. The food came out really quick, and at the end they gave us free desserts because it was our grandmother's birthday. I would certainly return here with my family, I just advise people to know what to expect.

Wonder Seafood has been under new management for a few months and the service and quality of their food has declined by a lot. They have increased their menu prices while decreasing the portion sizes. They also started charging $1 for each bowl of white rice when it used to be complimentary. On the weekends, you are also no longer able to specify the type of tea you want. They serve a standard tea that lacks flavor, which they leave out sitting on the table until patrons arrive. Will not be dining here again anytime in the near future.

Although I have been coming here for years we were slightly disappointed with how long it took for someone to come over to take our order. We had to flag someone down . Tables are a tad tight in certain areas so moving around might be a little tough. Food wise they have some super yummy dishes and we have our usual go to items . The dishes come out as they are ready so you don't have to wait for it all at one time. The service is quick so you don't wait long at all for your food. Now they also do dim sum on the weekends and it's probably one of the better options in the area. They can have a pretty good wait if you don't get there early but it moves along pretty quick .
