    This place is a hidden gem. The wontons never disappoint you. Came back here because the craving of their wontons and we even ordered the 2 dozen wontons to go.

    Shrimp Pork Shumai was so good! You should eat it. All of the food was delicious and hot. They made it to order. Restaurant was quiet for lunch and the server sat and ate food at the other table. Would Recommend! 4 stars because: delivery of food came in through the front door and the guy slammed into our chair.

    Curry fish ball rice, signature wonton soup
    Yu Ya H.

    We don't have much wontons specialized places so I was excited to try it. It is a tiny place with four/ five tables. We ordered the curry fish ball rice, signature wonton soup, spicy wonton appetizer (not pictured) and custard buns to share. Dishes came out super fast. All dishes taste homey. My favorite would be the wonton soup - wontons are flavorful and the broth is light. The curry fish ball rice is not too remarkable. The spicy wontons have a unique tomato taste. The custard buns are just okay. All in all, a decent place but not too remarkable. -6.5/10

    Signature wonton lo mein (w flat egg noodle)
    Alyanna T.

    My partner and I got the HK style dumpling noodle soup (w thin egg noodle) and signature wonton lo mein (w flat egg noodle) - TASTE: 3/5 - was expecting more flavor, both noodle dishes tasted bland to me. The shrimp wontons were great TEXTURE: 4/5 - enjoyed the texture of both the thin and flat egg noodles, plus the tender wontons and crisp green onion PRICE: 4/5 - total was $40 SERVING SIZE: 3/5 - satisfied us for lunch. With a name like Gigantic Wonton, I thought they would be truly massive lol, but they were just slightly larger than usual SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 1:15pm on a Friday and one other table was filled. Our food came out 10min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - small space of about 20 seats w minimal-style decor and photos of Hong Kong PARKING: 4/5 - parked on a street spot close by on Harvard Ave

    This is a new Chinese spot specializing in wontons!! They make Hong Kong-style food. The owner is so kind! It's very small with only a few tables and service is typical of that. They specialize in their gigantic wontons (hence the name) along with lots of other dishes like wonton noodle soup. For food, we got soup dumplings, spicy wontons, cumin fried wings, wonton soup, beef tripe, rice rolls, and egg yolk buns! The soup dumplings were good with delectable soup but the wrapper is a bit thick for my taste. I liked the spicy wontons a lot. The wontons were indeed gigantic and so juicy and the chili oil was great. The wings were crispy and also juicier than expected and I liked the spices. Unfortunately, I did not love the wonton soup because it was a bit bland but Hong Kong style tends to be more bland so if that's your style, it'll be right up your alley. The beef tripes were not for me.. I didn't like the texture at all. Rice rolls were very thick and very heavy but I liked the chewiness of it. I loved getting the buns for dessert because they were so delish!! The egg yolk mixture in the middle was sweet and grainy which was cool and the bread was so soft. If I went again, I would definitely get the spicy wontons again and the egg yolk buns for dessert.

    I hadn't seen many places selling wonton noodles, so this was definitely a must-try. We stopped by here on a weekend around 2pm so it wasn't too busy - we were immediately seated and given menus and water. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and when we asked about the difference between the signature wontons and the HK style dumplings, they pointed out the photos on the menu and what each one was called. They both looked great, but I ended up getting the signature wontons instead since the HK style dumplings looks like a thicker skin (my partner got the HK style, and they were very similar - with maybe mushrooms added?). The food came out incredibly quickly, and they even didn't mind that my partner had brought in a bubble tea she had purchased somewhere else. Signature wonton lo mein - While this may look like plain wonton noodles with wontons on top, veggies, and a side of broth, it's one of my favorite ways to eat wonton noodles. Mixed in with the noodles is actually a salty and savory sauce (perhaps oyster sauce based?) that seasons the noodles. I mixed in some chili oil and vinegar from the table and it was just perfect. The noodles were fresh tasting and bouncy - just how I like them. The wontons were delicate and full of flavor, and the side of veggies and soup were a nice addition on top of that. The only issue stopping this from getting 5 stars is that $14 for this type of food feels a little steep. I've definitely had this meal for much cheaper in the past, but with inflation this may just be the market price. Still, it feels a little much, but the actual taste of the food was great. I probably won't become a regular here, but I will definitely be back a few times when I'm craving wonton noodles! 4/5!

    This is such a great addition to the Allston area! The restaurant is tiny on the inside but the staff are very quick, friendly, and attentive. I was in the mood for some wonton soup so I ordered the trio dumplings in soup ($15). It came with 6 plump wontons (3 different fillings, 2 of each), some fresh veggies, and a light but comforting broth. The wontons were super impressive. The skins were tender while the filling was plump and flavorful. Each wonton had its own unique flavor profile and I loved how there were still large-ish chunks of shrimp in the shrimp wonton. There are a lot of condiments at the table (chili oil, salt, white pepper, vinegar, soy sauce) so you can dress up the broth to your taste. I also got a salted plum spritz ($6). It was refreshingly fizzy and tasted mostly like lime except for the added saltiness from the salted plum they add on the bottom. I would get it again! My friend tried their Hong Kong milk tea which had a strong tea flavor. It wasn't sweetened which took us by surprise but the staff kindly added sugar to it when we asked.

    I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. My friends and I ordered: -signature wonton noodle soup: came with 4 wontons, 2 pieces of bok choy and yellow egg noodles. The wontons were okay, nothing special. They were a bit pasty/gritty. My favorite wontons are from Maxis in Flushing, NY for a baseline. -beef brisket noodle soup: the beef needed to be cooked for MUCH longer. It was so tough, hard to eat. -hong Kong milk tea: very sweet and seemed like it was made from an instant packet.

    This is a 3.5 star place, but I have to give whole number ratings...I'm erring on the side of 4 for now. This place is right next to Coreanos in Allston. Its a very small shop that has maybe 5 or 6 tables. The place is brand new so it looks clean. We were seated facing outwards so I didn't get to observe what the place really looks like. There were people behind us so I didn't want to be awkwardly staring backwards and taking pictures. Oh, this place does not have air conditioning! As for their food, the menu is not huge. Come with an appetite for wonton noodle soup! The wontons are a good size, maybe slightly larger than the ones you get in chinatown (thinking of Chinatown Cafe and HK Eatery). There also are good amounts of shrimp inside. The egg noodles are cooked perfectly. 2 pieces of green veggie pieces are also included, as are some scallions. You can choose up to 2 additional "toppings" or add-ons (wontons, dumplings, brisket, etc). The broth was hot and savory -- more on the salty side for both my wife and I. The stuffed chicken wings are mostly boneless, stuffed with some shrimp. I was most excited for this but it wasn't as special as I'd hope. Just get the wonton soup. My wife and I had the 2 bowls of wonton soup with brisket, and an order of wings. With the 5% cash discount (it comes this way - they assume you are paying cash), and 18% tip, it came to $60. Afterwards, we went to pick up my daughter and her friend who ate at Spring Shabu Shabu (down the street). They also paid $60 total for the 2 of them with a plate of meat. Hmmmm....? I'm glad to have tried this place, as its different from most of the korean offerings in the area. Hopefully they can expand their menu to maybe include some chinese BBQ toppings/add-ons in the future. Other considerations: - There is only street parking in a very busy area. Good luck. - Today was near 80 degrees and drinking their hot soup with no AC or fan was not a good idea. I relished every second it took for their front door to close once someone left. - You get the most flimsy (thin) plastic soup spoons ever with your meal. - When we were seated, we got exactly 2 pieces of bathroom paper (hand) towels. When I asked for extra napkins, I actually got 2 pieces of real paper napkins. Weird that I got towels to begin with. - The wonton noodle soups come out quickly. - The waitress there spoke to us in chinese by default. My wife speaks chinese so its okay, but when I spoke in English, they seemed to not understand.

    Never seen a restaurant specializing in wontons before, so definitely had to give them a try! The restaurant itself is small and accommodating to walk-ins. The service was perfectly fine. The wontons themselves were pretty good and filled with a lot of meat, but unfortunately you only get 4 wontons per bowl. That is such a disproportionate ratio of wontons to noodles. The Golden Black Phoenix buns were actually grey (not black) and filled with salted egg yolk filling. However the bun texture was oddly hard (almost like they half steamed some frozen buns). Not really a fan of them and they were overpriced ($8 for 3 small buns). Overall, this spot is convenient if you have soup cravings, but definitely overpriced for what you get.

    Spicy beef noodle soup ($16), add wontons ($3)

    It's a small space that used to be the old fish market restaurant. I arrived on a weekday afternoon for lunch and there were a few patrons dining in and a couple waiting for take out. They just opened not too long ago, so it looks like they are just figuring things out still. If you are dining in, you sit and order with wait staff. It's confusing since the place is small and there's an ordering counter. The menu is small, but confusing.. not sure why the items listed as side dishes are mostly just the main entrees copied and pasted into the section. We ordered the spicy beef noodle soups and opted to add wontons (+$3 for two wontons) into one of the bowls. Waitstaff speak mandarin and canto but English was a bit of a language barrier. They don't automatically give you water, which I didn't mind since I was having noodle soup anyways. The beef was very tender, falling apart easily. Great braised flavor. Wontons were the highlight. Well seasoned, not salty. Thin egg noodles were chewy. The broth tho... got very salty as we were eating. I'm not sure if it's the same broth they use for the regular wonton soup but I think the added beef made it much more salty. Might be fine if ordering just the wonton noodle soup. Waitstaff doesn't really check on you. Wave them down if needed. I just walked up to the counter and paid since we were in a rush to leave. Overall food was decent, they just opened so I'm sure they'll figure out a better rhythm. Won't rush back here but might try some of their other options in the future.

    I got the signature wonton noodle soup and added extra vegetables. The wontons had shrimp fillings. For some reason there was a slight bitter aftertaste. The noodles were a great chewy and bouncy texture. The wait for food was quick, but the place is very small. My friend and I (party of 2) had to wait a couple of minutes to be seated on a Friday night. Not great for large groups.

    True to its name, Gigantic Wonton serves up pretty sizable delicious wontons! LOCATION: Located in the old Fish Market spot, Gigantic Wonton is very small and has about 6-8 tables. I highly recommend coming when they first open to secure a table. MENU: Only noodles, snacks, and drinks - sorry rice lovers, this place isn't for you. There are a lot of different options from soup noodles to dry noodles, spicy beef to wontons. FOOD: I ordered the classic wonton noodle soup and added beef brisket. The classic wonton noodle soup comes with 4 giant wontons, lots of thin egg noodles, and 2 small pieces of veggies. The wonton itself is bouncy and stuffed with shrimp. The noodles and soup were delicious! Beef brisket was a little tough but taste was good. We also ordered crispy fish skin (can be skipped), curry fishballs (a must!) and Chinese broccoli (for the health). DRINKS: We were excited to try the Hong Kong Coffee which was just the Yin Yeung (coffee and milk tea) but unfortunately they didn't have coffee at all so we all just ordered the milk tea. We ordered hot milk tea and it came out towards the end of our meal and was very lukewarm. Although it was lukewarm, the taste was still pretty good and authentic! SERVICE: They were all friendly and tried their best to keep up even with a packed restaurant and lots of online orders.

And in some bites, I bit into a Szechuan pepper. Not sure what kind of theme they're going for but definitely didn't expect it to have a Szechuan twist. I will say, I very much liked their udon noodles! It was really chewy and soft. I also felt that the onsen egg was slightly too undercooked. I love eggs and I can eat them cooked, runny, etc. but felt like the yolk was so runny it mixed into the soup and didn't really resurface after that. It's a really small shop with bar seating and a few small tables. Expect a wait if you're a big party or quite possibly coming around rush hour. Despite my review, it seems very popular.
