Wonton Guy

Hong Kong is loaded with street vendors and small restaurants. Its cuisine is a unique and diverse culinary tradition that reflects the city's history and culture. It is a fusion of Chinese, British, and Southeast Asian flavors and techniques, with a focus on fresh seafood, noodles, and rice. Open since Thanksgiving 2022, this establishment is about a block from a plaza with nearly a dozen Asian restaurants and the H Mart Korean supermarket in Edison. Located on Route 27 off of Plainfield Avenue, Wonton Guy is not Chinese-American food but authentic Hong Kong fast food, where I decided to have lunch today. Upon entering, I was greeted by the staff and got a small table right away inside a cozy, sparse dining area about 10 tables, an open kitchen, and one full wall showing the bright lights of Kowloon in Hong Kong at night. The menu specializes in wontons, of course, in a soup, or just noodles with soup on the side (lo mein). I went for the Two Toppings Lo Mein with shrimp wonton 雲吞 and beef brisket 牛腩, which were the most popular. Complimentary hot tea started the meal. The meal came out quick and was served hot. It focused on its bold and complex flavors. The broth was made overnight, and the huge wontons stuffed with shrimp and pork, making them hearty and satisfying, were freshly made every morning and tasted authentic. The brisket was tender. The price was very reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful with what to recommend; my server was Ray. It was a great deal, and I recommend this place.

Finally got to try this place and ordered Wonton and brisket noodle soup. It’s great as expected and would definitely go again just for that. However, I also tried the crispy fried fish skins and I don’t know if I got a bad batch, but they tasted like plastic/chemical. It’s the only reason I didn’t give it a 5. I’d hesitate ordering it again in the future, although many reviewers love it. That’s why I think maybe I got a bad batch.

This was my first time at this restaurant. I have been looking for "real" Chinese food, not Chinese American. This restaurant was very clean. The waiter was very prompt in helping me as I didn't really understand the menu, so I ordered based on the photos on the menu. The food was 'very different' from your usual Chinese take-out. Mostly dumpling and noodle based. It was very good. I will probably come again.

Honestly, is a very good wonton noodle spot. As a wonton snob, I want to say wonton was too big. However, unlike maxi noodle in queens, this is actual wonton. Just bigger. Maxi noodle wonton are dumpling. Here the wonton uses fresh shrimp and skin are very well made. Their beef brisket is also very good as well. Again, I’m comparing to wonton to one I have had in Hong Kong/china and this place does lives up to its name. Noodle are great. Great little gem in Edison

This small authentic Hong Kong restaurant has the best comfort meal. The store is very clean and organized. Service is excellent. The food is top tier.

A bowl of wonton noodles for $12 is definitely a great deal. While the taste may not match the specialized wonton noodle shops in Hong Kong and Macau, it’s still much better than what you’d find at an average cha chaan teng in China. The noodles are egg-based with alkaline water, giving them a nice, bouncy texture. The wontons are generously sized—one is as big as two regular ones—stuffed with shrimp and pork, making them hearty and satisfying. The broth is fresh and flavorful, clearly made with care. I also ordered the dace fish balls, but they were boiled, which I personally didn’t quite enjoy—I prefer the fried version, so I probably wouldn’t get them again. The braised beef brisket, on the other hand, was tender and well-cooked. We also tried the curry fish balls, fried fish skin, and red fermented bean curd pork knuckle. The fried fish skin wasn’t to my taste, so I wouldn’t order it again, but everything else was quite good. Overall, the wontons and noodles were excellent, so I’d definitely come back.

Wonderful service and fantastic food. The wontons were so flavorful and juicy. The curry balls were perfectly cooking and delicious!

Was recommended by a friend to try this hole in the wall. Very surprised by the freshness and tastiness of the dumplings and Shrimp wonton.

Came here on a recommendation for lunch and glad I did. Great wontons - large in size, wrapped with thin skin, great ratio of shrimp and pork so lives up to the name. My craving for noodles and soup was well satisfied. No frills restaurant - get seated and they'll come around to give you menus and water, then take your order. Most people who are frequent customers seem to already know what their go to is but we needed a couple more minutes to check out the offerings. The tables have some hot chili flakes, red vinegar, and soy sauce as is common to add to your food if you'd like. Overall, it hit the spot and filled us up!

Really great wontons at reasonable prices! The shrimp wontons are massive and you'll definitely be full afterwards. They have all the sauces you need on the side too - their chili oil is super good! Only complaint is the soup base isn't as flavorful, but again it's super customizable because of the ingredients on the side. ty for reading :^)

Food: The food is pretty good here! Noodle texture was bouncy and perfectly cooked. The wontons and dumplings are huge and packed with shrimp and pork. They tasted very fresh. The dace fish balls were disappointing though - too dense and too heavy on the flour. It didn't have much fish taste at all. Curry fishballs weren't special and can be skipped. Veggies were fresh and a nice side with the noodles. Beef brisket was tender and flavorful. Service: Service was excellent. Staff are friendly and attentive. They came to refill our water throughout the meal. Ambiance: The restaurant is small, but a lot of seating is available. It's not ideal for very large groups because their tables generally seat four people. The place can get packed during lunch on the weekends, but the wait was very short. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!

I ordered beef brisket with one topping on soup as a pick up order. The menu indicates this is selection C8 at $16.25. I was charged $17.75 not sure why but when I went to pay with my card he said the minimum was $20 so I ordered a $2 soda to bring the balance to $19.75. I was so disappointed when I went back to my office expecting this delicious meal all the reviews rave about. Instead I got piece after piece of fat and two small pieces of brisket. I'm all for layering of fat on my brisket but I counted 5 large pieces of fat and very little meat. Pictures don't lie. The plus was that the broth was tasty and the shrimp dumplings were juicy and flavorful. I might give this place another shot but there are so many options in the area I probably won't be back. It's a shame.

My wife Bridget and I looked forward to a good bowl of Noodle Soup, authentic Hong Kong cuisine. We were not disappointed with the Noodle , Dumplings, Wontons and Beef Brisket in a very cold afternoon today. Service was excellent in a very casual atmosphere and Jong Kong setting!

It doesn't get more authentic than this! While Wonton Guy is quite far from where I live, I often find myself craving it just enough to make that 30 minute drive to get myself a bowl of delicious noodles. My favorite is the traditional wonton noodle soup with egg noodles but I like to add the beef brisket. The soup is so flavorful and has so much depth. The egg noodles aren't made in house but are cooked to a great bouncy texture. I love that the wontons are overstuffed too. I also really like the curry fish balls and fried fish skins as they complement the noodles well and also is a great snack before the bowl comes. The wait is never too long even when they get super packed on weekends and the food always comes out super fast. Highly recommend!

The place to get Wonton noodle soup in NJ! A bit of a drive for me but its better than paying the toll and parking to get into NYC. Only thing missing is the Cantonese BBQ items that goes really well with the wonton noodle soup!

My party of 4 visited on a Sunday around 6pm, and was seated within 5 minutes of waiting. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but tables generally turn over relatively quickly. We ordered the wonton soup noodles and two combo noodles (wonton & dace fish balls and wonton & beef brisket). The food came out quickly and was pipping hot. The broth was quite tasty and the wontons were large in size, packed with lots of shrimp and some pork. The portion of noodles was noted to be inconsistent/on the smaller side by a couple of people in my party. Overall, a solid spot for Hong Kong wonton noodles in the area. + 5% cash discount.

TLDR: Fantastic wonton and sui-kow, friendly service and functional seating. Eating here is just like eating on Hong Kong. Loud, boisterous, wobbly stools, but what great flavors. The only thing different being the friendly service!! The wonton and sui kow were very large, tasty and stuffed with premium ingredients. Large, fresh prawns and minced pork. The noodles were perfect with a great bite. We ordered a dish of steamed vegetable that were well cooked, yet crisp and with a bite. The crispy fish skin was the perfect accompaniment. Unfortunately, they lost a star due to the broth not being up to scratch. Not bad, just lacking that extra oomph.

Very authentic food! Yummy good ! Good service! It is hard to find such authentic Cantonese food here!! 超级好食，loveeeee it!

Happy Wednesday Adventurers! I was able to try this place out via a Yelp drop in event. I tried two different days before finally being able to try out the food. This was a minimum purchase event but it was basically a BOGO type deal. I ordered the same thing to go which was perfect for the cold weather temps. The first day I went was around lunch time and there were at least 8 people waiting, ended up coming back the next day at opening (11 AM). As soon as I walked in there were already 5 tables seated (It's only about 15 tops at most). There is front parking and additional parking in the back--though that fills up fairly quickly. You can enter through the back or the front which is really cool. The menu is straightforward and very simple--4 types of noodles, 5 toppings, and variations of the same dish. I ordered the wontons, dumplings, vermicelli noodles, and sliced beef. I added veggies, I kinda wish I tried the fried fish skin, I saw a lot of people adding it to the soups and it looked appetizing. The broth is on the softer side of flavor, but still really good. I enjoyed the dumplings and wontons but they don't cut the shrimp for them so you're biting into a huge piece of meat. The beef was really good, I think it made the dish more flavorful. I did notice that this was a spot where most patrons come in eat quickly and leave, not much sitting around. The turn around was really quick while I sat there which is pretty refreshing since some people will sit for hours with no concept of time. I'd say stop in--early--enjoy a hot bowl of wonton, dumplings, and noodles and go on your merry way. Oh! that service was efficient and really kind at explaining everything to me. It was my first time and they happily let me know of how it worked with the Yelp 'coupon.

Admittedly, I am usually unsure if I am eating authentic Chinese food or Chinese-American food. Between the rich history lesson in the front of the menu, and the flavors and textures I experienced throughout my meal, I had no doubt that I had enjoyed an authentic meal the night I dined at Wonton Guy. I enjoyed reading about the roots of Wontons in southern China, I also appreciated the explanation of the process they take to make the wontons and the soup base. In the menu I read that the soup base is an important part of enjoying wontons, and has the special and essential ingredient of dried flounder fish. I was a little nervous about this because I really do not enjoy seafood, but the menu assures that the dried flounder adds a delicious aroma that is not at all fishy. I had an open mind and was delighted to taste that the menu rang true! No fishy taste at all, only a pleasant soup base. I ordered the Two Toppings Lo Mein with Beef Brisket and Dumplings with the flat rice noodle. This is very different from the lo mein you get at Chinese-American restaurants. This lo mein is still in a soup base. I added the chili oil that is provided on each table and dug in. The chili oil really complimented the dish and took it to the next level. The beef brisket was so tender and perfect- I highly recommend adding beef brisket to whatever dish you choose to get! There was also cabbage included and it added a nice crunch to the dish and I appreciated having some green! The dumplings were very good, as mentioned before I am not a huge seafood person and a large portion of the filling is shrimp but that is one seafood I do enjoy. The filling in the dumpling was very generous!! I didn't taste or see any pork in the filling but because of the amount in the dumpling I assume it was there. The staff was very helpful in answering any questions we had and they were friendly. The restaurant was clean and upon entering you can see into the kitchen. Even though the kitchen is kind of open to the dining room, we stayed very cool in the air conditioned room, on a 95 degree day!

Love hot, freshly made soups of all types, especially of the Chinese variety, so when I read reviews for Wonton Guy I was intrigued. Would WG's potage be as good as I enjoy at home? It was worth a drive from Bucks to find out. The answer was a split score. The wonton and dumpling were very good - loaded with shrimp, pork and other fillings. Each was a heavy, dense lift that needed a few bites to consume. Definitely worthy of note. On the other hand, the liquid portion of the bowl left something to be desired. Ours seemed to be chicken stock base with a fist of rice noodles that continue to absorb the extremely hot soup until it occupied nearly the entire bowl. They were bland and uninteresting compared to the big boy wonton/dumpling. Tossed in a spoonful of chili sauce to up the flavor ante, which did the trick. Still, I wasn't compelled to finish the slurping due to the continued expansion of the noodles and less than memorable soup foundation. The floor plan has a small dining area in front (10 tables?), with view of the kitchen in back. Service was okay, but laissez faire. Final verdict - The soup at home is better than Wonton Dude, but he might consider selling the wonton dry (or maybe he does already). Three steaming Stars.

Thankful a Yelp event introduced us to this place. Now, we can't get enough. It's in a strip mall and it's nothing fancy but we like it so much. The value is unmatched. The flavors are on point. We love the early hours because they work for Sunday brunch. And we like the quick, friendly service. We got there 10 minutes after opening and it was packed so make sure you get there early or you'll have to wait.

I'd give this place a 3.8/5. There isn't many Cantonese wonton places in Edison, and this was my first time having wonton noodles in so long. The soup separate from the noodles is classic, and their flavor profile was on point. It was an affordable, nostalgic lunch. There isn't much seating though, nor parking at the front.

Came here for take out and ordered the lo mein with their braised beef and wontons, soup with wontons, dumplings and sliced beef and a side of curry fish balls. The lo mein was not your typical American Chinese take out lo mein. It is much lighter and simpler in flavor. You get to choose what type of noodles you want and what toppings you want. I chose the flat noodles with braised beef and wontons. The braised beef was tender and similar to other braised beefs that I've had with flavors of star anise and cinnamon. The wontons were the star here...they were huge, flavorful and packed with shrimp with a silky wrapper. The noodles themselves were fine. There was not really a sauce but it came with soup on the side. The soup with wontons, dumplings and sliced beef was very good. The soup itself tasted clean and flavorful. The dumplings were also very flavorful like the wontons but I believe these were predominantly filled with pork. The sliced beef was flavorful and tender. The curry fish balls had a lot a flavor. The fish balls tasted like typical fish balls but the curry that they used tasted more spiced than your typical Chinese curry which I enjoyed. Overall I thought this place was really good. The wontons and dumplings are some of the best I've had. The braised beef and sliced beef are also very good and flavorful. Next time I'd probably opt for the noodle soup rather than the lo mein or dry noodles since it was a little lacking in flavor for me. The person taking my order was also very friendly.

Perfect spot especially on cold weather days! Who doesn't love soups?! I've came here on three separate occasions and they have consistently serve delicious wontons, dumplings and noodles soups. My fav is the shrimp and pork wonton soups. The amount of shrimp packed in this babies are gigantic and well worth the money spent. A bowl ordered is very filling. Be careful on their chili left on the table. My first time visit, I pour a good teaspoon size and holy hell, my lips and throat burned and this is coming from a gal who love spicy food. Plenty of parking in the back of the business here. Make sure to come early for dinner as the tables get filled up quickly here.

The wontons here are YUUUUUGE. like two shrimps rolled into one wonton. Came here for an early dinner around 5pm with no wait and this place did not disappoint. I got the beef brisket wonton rice (haw) noodle and devoured it in five mins flat. We also tried the choy sum vegetable side that comes steamed with oyster sauce. A classic staple. The hot chili oil on the table is , a little bit on the spicier side but I ain't no punk B. So good we ordered two more to go which I got the regular egg noodle and I think that was better just because it's the OG classic way. Will be back again!

Wow! This is a must dine in restaurant! The food comes out super hot and delicious. We all got the 3 toppings with our noodle. Everything looked good and we wanted to try all. My friends and I even finished our soups since it was that good. Very small shop but it's a quick in and out meal. Reasonable prices. There's parking in the front or back of the restaurant. Will recommend and come back!

Food: good portion however I personally felt the broth and wontons were on the slightly saltier side. Service: we were told a 30 minute wait but we ended up only waiting 5 minutes for Sunday dinner. The space is fairly small but people were in and out of the restaurant. The food also came out soon after we ordered. It seemed like everything was prepared beforehand and just simply combined based on your topping and noodle choice.

Good portions, noodles have a nice chew and the additions are quite hearty! The wontons are big and plump and full of shrimp. The place is small but bustling and there is parking in the back so it's not too bad. Service is speedy and it's a great place to stop by for a quick lunch or dinner.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was a 15-20 minute wait to get seated. The resturant is known for wontons! I ordered the wonton and fish ball egg noodle soup, the green vegetable with oyster sauce, and beef wonton soup. Next time I would just stick to the wonton soup, the wonton is SO good! The broth and noodles don't stand out but the wontons are some of the best wontons I ever had. The green vegetables were so addicting to eat but I thought it was pricey. I think it was a little pricey overall but it was very delicious. The chilli sauce is also very spicy and good.

Wonton Guy is a diamond in the rough. You could easily drive by it, and there are not many places to park, but don't make the mistake of overlooking this spot! I visited with a Hong Kong native and he gave it a 9/10! We sampled quite a bit of the menu and every dish was delicious. The wontons were plump as could be and the beef brisket melted in your mouth. The soup broth was flavorful and not overly salted. The curry balls were dialed in, the perfect balance of curry to fish. The service was quick. The interior was unadorned but clean. All around worth your time!

Yummy authentic HK and huge wontons. Delish braised beef soup. Also had the springy egg noodles. The decor is very HK which brings me back. Service is solid and friendly.

Finally I can eat the same food like I ate in Canada Huge wonton and full filling dumplings Tasty broth Best egg noodles Servers are very nice and funny We were there in dinner time, no longer waiting for orders Plenty parking spots Definitely will come back again and again

Been there every time I am in Edison. My go to is wonton soup plus a side of vegetables. Wontons are huge with lots of shrimps. Soup tastes on the 'sweeter' side and has quite a lot of white peppercorns tastes (which personally I am not fan of). Beef brisket is really tender and flavorful. Very reasonable prices. Small shops, noise level is high, always filled with ppl. Service is great. They serve complementary hot tea for each table.

Really great service and the food is very authentic! The wontons have a really tasty pork and shrimp filling, the noodles are nice and bouncy. We got the A1. Wonton with Noodle in Soup and fishballs and the B1. Wonton Lo Mein with brisket. They also have us curry fish balls on the house :)

Very tasty! Noodle is a lot and wonton very bigGood service. spicy sauce is very spicy so be careful with it. I will come back again!

Authentic Hong style wonton place with fast service and great food. Arrived here asking noon on a Saturday afternoon and waited around 5 minutes for a table. Once seated, we were quickly given tea and our menus. We all ordered the wonton noodles with egg noodles and curry fish balls. The curry on the fish balls was so rich and creamy, I wish I had some naan to do into the leftover sauce. The wontons were very big and filled with shrimp. Took about 4 bites to eat the wonton! I did find them a tad on the salty side though. Loved the noodles, they were bouncy and cherry at the same time. Service was the fastest ever! If you are looking for somewhere quick and easy, this is the place. Parking in the front is very tight but there is additional parking behind the building, which I recommend. Getting out of the front parking spots is a bit dangerous.

This is a renowned Wonton and dumpling establishment. They have plenty of choices which include, pork, shrimp and vegetable. There are also tons of soups and lo mein options as well. Something for every palate. This is a must try!!!

Came here during August 2023, as I was really craving wonton and/or beef stew noodle soup. I ordered: - Wonton and beef stew noodle soup combo: wontons were huge and delicious (alot of shrimp), and the beef stew was tasty and tender. - A small simple side dish of greens: LOVED the size, and was perfect as I always like to eat and see some greens. - curry fish balls: I love curry fish balls. Like, I can't pass by them without eating them. I dipped my beef stew chunks in the leftover curry sauce - YUM! Very happy to have found this place.

Why's all the amazing food in Edison. The wontons and fish balls had so much flavor packed in. Noodles were springy and broth was so fulfilling. Service was very fast. Ambiance was fast casual with some HK flair with the neon sign art on the wall.

I visited won ton guy based on the yelp 25 most popular restaurants recommendation. The dining area was small but the customer turn over speed seemed fast. The staff was friendly and professional We had vegetable with oyster sauce, won ton and fish balls noodle soup and wonton lo flat rice noodle. The wontons were delicious, and good sized. Each wonton had a big shrimp. My order came with egg noodles. The soup base was great but the egg noodle didn't soak up the flavor and was a bit bland. The lo mein, flat rice noodle In this case, came with a bowl of soup which was a good touch.

So happy that this authentic HK style wonton noodle shop opened up. The wontons are so plump and flavorful (they're probably the biggest and freshest I've seen at a restaurant here!). I also loved the dumplings and dace fish balls; I'd happily order all those toppings again. Besides noodle soups, you can also order the lo mein version or the sides separately. It's a simple menu but so satisfying. Also be warned: the chili oil is SPICY!! Def perfect for spicy lovers but try a little bit before pouring a ton on.

Spot is smaller, with a few main dishes and variations on them. We ordered a wonton soup, an egg noodle soup with house made fish balls, curry fish balls and vegetables with oyster sauce. Food came out quickly. The house made fish balls are definitely recommended. The chill oil is super spicy, which I wasn't expecting. Service never let our waters get too low and we didn't feel rushed out, despite talking and taking our time.

Wontons are excellent. They are big and filled with shrimp! The pig knuckle stew was outstanding. Great prices and we were stuffed after.

We did takeout, two toppings soup (egg noodles, brisket & wontons). One word: incredible. It's busy & the restaurant isn't fancy or anything, but you're there for the food & not the ambience. Def

This cozy spot serves authentic Hong Kong-style noodles with delicious wontons, beef briskets and flavorful fish balls. The food is consistently tasty, and the friendly service makes the dining experience even better.

The curry eggs were absolutely delicious. The sauce was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, complementing the tender eggs beautifully. Every bite was comforting and satisfying. I would definitely come back just for this dish.

Heard of it since so long ago and finally make it, ,Authentic Flavor，the wonton soup is amazing with all the flavors should be in the wonton soup. Curry fishball is also good. Service is good as well.

This is an authentic Cantonese restaurant specializing dishes centered around the thin egg noodles. Soup or no soup. Wonton, stewed beef, or dumplings. Mix them around and you get most of the menu items. But if you're here for the first time, you do need to look further than the very first item in the menu, A1 - Wonton With Noodle In Soup. It's their signature dish. The broth is delicious. The noodle has great texture. The 4 wontons are large and filled with many shrimps. The staff are so polite and friendly. You get 5% discount for paying cash. The only negative is the parking in front is very cramped and awkward. You're better off parking in the back.

The noodles were soft and perfectly cooked. The wontons and dumplings are big and full of shrimp and pork. The beef brisket was tender and flavorful.

If you're looking for somewhere to get a quick bite. This might be the place. Their wonton is the best. It's stuffed with lots of shrimp and little bit of pork. All their dishes looks plain and simple but it's packed with so much flavor. Come check it out if you're in the area

Honestly the best wontons I've had in the Western Hemisphere - and I've tried the ones in Flushing, Brooklyn, etc. The wonton soup is great and has a pretty strong similarity to the ones you can find in Hong Kong.

I love the HK vibe once you enter in. Very clean with classic Chinese HK music. It's simple, don't have to think much - get the three options - wonton is a must here. Beef stew was great. Fish face and dumplings were legit. The wonton was tender and huge filled with shrimp and pork. I'm so happy that I don't have to fly to HK or Canada to get the authentic wonton noodle soup. Noodles were cooked to perfection, tender. Soup - amazing. This place is a must with very reasonable price. Service is quick. They're very attentive where they keep refilling our tea.

Legit Hong Kong cuisine says this Hong Kong native. Service was speedy and friendly from the entire staff. Food was 100% authentic for HK taste. Wonton noodle soup with beef brisket was delicious. The wontons were bouncy and fresh. Broth was savory and delicious. Noodles were the exact texture expected for this classic HK dish. Wontons were giant size - something I didn't know has become a more modern HK style! The beef was fork tender and a must try. Curry fish balls were fantastic. Made me think of my childhood eating these on a stick from a street vendor. Great quality. Great value. Great trip down memory lane for me.

I have Wonton Guy in my bookmark for a while and it's time to check it off and check in to Yelp! At first I thought the name is for light-heartedness' sake, until when I saw the Chinese signage, then I realized it's really a play on phonetic translation. The Chinese name, 雲吞佳, pronounced /won-ton-gai/ in Cantonese which literally means wonton masterpiece. I am not sure if they came up with the Chinese or English first, but I thought it was genius! It was a Saturday mid afternoon when I arrived and the restaurant's 10 tables were all occupied, with 2 parties waiting at the door. The interior was spartan but clean, with mural on one wall and mirror on the other. There was no counter to order or to pay which was a bit odd. I was standing with the staff in the middle of nowhere when I ordered, (the same when I was ready to pay as I signed for my credit card charge). I asked for a menu and ordered A1 Wonton with Noodle in Soup $10 and B8 Beef Briskets Lo Mein $11. You have 4 choices of n oodles to choose from, but I'd recommend egg noodle as it is the way for Cantonese cuisine. It took 10-15 minutes. Not too bad. The 4 wontons were huge with multiple chunks of prawns in each. It was crunchy and tasty. A+. As for the second dish, first they made an error and gave me a noodle soup version instead of lo mein; second, the beef brisket, while soft, wasn't tender enough and took a lot of work to chow down. But value is superb in this inflationary day and age. Overall, a solid 4.5.

A friend of mine told me there were a few new eateries by H-Mart's shopping complex but he highly recommended Wonton Guys for pure comfort noodle soup bowls. He did mention they only serve bowls of various noodles with limited choices which include wonton, dumplings, beef brisket, dace fish balls, and chili tomato sauce with shredded pork. Their only vegetable is choy sum or lettuce in oyster sauce. Hubby and I finally made it there and believe me, we were blown away by the quality of the food. The wonton soup, I ordered was flavorful and had generous portions of tender shrimp wontons in a savory broth. The wontons were filled with 5 medium size shrimps wrapped in a delicate wrapper. My husband had ordered dumplings with egg noodles and his dumplings had a perfect balance of savory shrimp, mushrooms, and some other fillings. I ordered brisket along with my wontons and they did not disappoint. To say they were tender does not do it justice. As per the chef, the broth combines pork broth, dried shrimp shells, and fish flakes. He also added dried shrimp just to make it exceptional. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and the portions were generous. I personally could not finish the massive amount of noodles that came with my bowl. I could always just order the wontons or dumplings in broth and skip the noodles next time. The place is super casual where you can dine in or place orders to go. They are from Hong Kong so their entrees are reminiscent of street food from Hong Kong. Great for solo or group dining. Tip: Ask for a small bowl for your condiments: fried chili oil and red chili oil. This way, you can dip your dumplings and noodles without compromising the broth. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Cleanliness: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Value: 5/5 Location: 4/5 - more parking found in the back.
