Wonton Gourmet is officially a new go-to spot for our family -- and for good reason. First off, the place is clean and SUPER fast, which is a huge win when you've got kids in tow. And if you know, you know... they've inherited the iconic recipes from the late-night eats of 554 so the flavors are legit. My kids are obsessed with their soup -- like, quiet-at-the-table obsessed I personally love the chicken wings and tofu (both packed with flavor), and their chicken noodles are such a comforting go-to. You already know a spot is good when the line for to-go orders is literally out the door... and this place delivers every time. Definitely adding this into our regular rotation with the kids read more

Wonton Gourmet gets 5 stars for the food but 1 star for the service. We've been here many times, and just about every time we get the same waitress. If you've been here, you'd know exactly who I'm taking about. Not very friendly, speaks extremely fast, and often doesn't seem to fully pay attention to the order. Case in point: on our last visit, my wife ordered beef stew with wontons, but the dish came out with just wontons--no beef. When we pointed out the mistake, the waitress returned with a small bowl of beef stew on the side. Now I'm no chef, but you can't just pour a small bowl of beef stew into already-made wonton soup and suddenly have it become the dish that was originally ordered. The beef stew soup base is completely different from regular wonton soup. My wife was hungry and didn't want to wait longer for a remake, so she just ate it. You would think that after a mistake like that they might comp the dish or offer a small discount, but instead they charged us extra for the small bowl of beef stew. I honestly couldn't help but laugh. That said, it's hard to find a really good bowl of wontons in the suburbs, so we'll probably still be back--just hoping the mediocre service eventually improves. Not to be all negative--the food is really good. Our go-to is the wonton noodle soup with the flat wide noodles. Their sesame chicken is my kids' favorite along with the fried wontons. My wife loves the beef stew with wontons (when they get the order right). They also have the "554" with eggs, char siu, and rice, a staple of an old Chinatown spot Seven Treasures. So yeah, the food is excellent... you just might have to solve a small mystery first to see if your order arrives the way you asked for it. read more

We come here every week. And have for a long time. The food is usually fantastic. FANTASTIC. Every now and then... it's very different. It seems like whoever is in the kitchen has a lot of leeway in how they prepare the food. It's usually really good regardless... just different. What we got today was gross. It was a weird situation because we couldn't really call and say "Wow this isn't as good as it usually is" because it tasted like what it was... it was just not good. We threw it away and probably won't be back for a while, if at all. The lack of consistency is a problem. If I ordered the same thing I ordered last time, it should be recognizable. read more

It's nice not having to go to Chinatown for Cantonese food however, my first experience here left much to be desired. I ordered the duck and shrimp wonton noodle. The four pieces of a duck I got only one piece was the meat portion the other three were the bony portion. There was a couple of wontons. They were crispy however it seemed to lack taste, and there was an off note that I couldn't put my finger on. The noodles were great perfectly chewy and cooked perfectly. Service was so so nobody came to refill the water until we ask at the end of the meal. Overall, I definitely have had better and I think I will try other places to get my wonton noodle fix in the future. read more

Wonton Gourmet - Chinese Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Wonton is a surprising, hidden gem of Chinese food. Consistently delicious and filling, the food comes out the kitchen lightning fast (and also molten hot, be patient!!) The barbecued pork over rice is only 10 bucks, with an extra dollar getting you fried rice. Mix that with some of the mustard and the house made chili oil, and you've got a scrumptious meal. Well-priced delicious option for your next meal time! read more

Wonton Gourmet - Barbecued Pork over fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Since one of my sisters from out-of-state loves the kinds of Chinese food that Wonton Gourmet sells, we go there whenever she and my brother-in-law are in town. So, we have been to Wonton Gourmet many times over the years. Wonton Gourmet is good for groups for a casual gathering. Parking is easy in its own parking lot. The place is spacious, and they can connect a bunch of rectangular tables together to make a long table. Somehow, the place always found us tables when we visited. Food is usually decent and pricing is reasonable. In our last visit, every staff member was friendly except for one middle-age woman. It could be she's having a rough day, or it's just her style of interacting with people. However, a server could really affect the whole experience of the meal. We had ordered fried noodles, Chinese Broccoli and other dishes to share. As usual, we always ordered at least two or more orders of Fried Tofu (with a crispy skin and silky-smooth inside), as they are so good that they are everyone's favorite! Last time, for our individual meals, I ordered a Noodles with Shrimp Wonton & Beef Stew, while my husband ordered a Noodles with Shrimp Wonton and Fish Cakes. He had forgotten that "fish cakes" were processed fish cakes instead of fresh ones. While the bowls of noodles were decent and tasty, the shrimp wonton only had pork inside but no shrimp! Last time, another disappointment was that they didn't have congee. I wish that they actually add congee back to their menu. Even though they have congee on their website menu now, if you click on it, it does not show anything. A Cantonese restaurant like Wonton Gourmet would typically serve "congee, fun, noodles, and rice". Without congee, it's not perfect. I am still grateful that there's a Wonton Gourmet in the suburbs, that would take care of our cravings of Cantonese fun and noodles. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. read more

Won ton noodle soup with barbecue pork. Same recipe as in the chinatown now defunct Seven Tresures restaurant. Unfortunately, the service is not the same. I'll explain in a minute. It is a 45 minute on highway from my home to here. But I was yearning for the soup! We weren't seated right away and employees just passed us up. Finally we were able to be seated, and please note it was not busy. Upon seating we waited a while before water or even a menu came to us. Not cool again, as it was not busy. Finally we asked about the soup and how we had been getting it in Chinstown for over 30+ years and so missed the soup. It didn't seem to matter to the waitress as I dont think she cared. The recipe is the exact recipe as this is the cousin of the old chinatown restaurant, (Chinatown owner let us know that he would be sharing his recipe here with his cousin). Again, we order soup and my partner ordered with fish ball dumplings instead of pork as he doesn't consume pork. They said it was fine. Unfortunately when we recieved the soup, his had beef ball dumplings and not fish ball dumplings. When questioned they said "oh we ran out of fish ball dumplings'. That's fine and dandy but don't assume he also eats beef. It was jarring that they didn't really care and I was saddened on this. As Chinatown employees always treated us like family. I still got my soup correct and it was perfection. It took me back to Chinatown and that made me smile. Unfortunately due to this fish ball dumplings situation, I have to drop my scores as I believe honesty and Integrity are key to successful businesse's. Would I come back for the soup? Maybe, as 45 minutes on highway was a lot. But who knows. The ambience is nice as the walls are lined with black and white murals of old Chinatown perhaps? But I don't recognize any of the scenery so it may be China? Give them a try, and asi for the soup! read more

Ordered UberEATS delivery. Delicious red roasted pork fried rice, tightly packed to the brim & generous with the meat so there's some in every bite. Also tried beef chow fun with Chinese broccoli, wonderful tender beef in favourful gravy but would have preferred the noodles packed separately for delivery to maintain the crispy bits. Authentic Cantonese style Chinese food. read more

Wonton Gourmet - Beef chow fun with Chinese broccoli. - Chinese Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

This is our favorite local authentic Chinese restaurant of Chinatown flavors without fighting the Chicago City traffic! This place is a single building with its private parking lot. The place is spacious and they have a glass wall that you can see the chef's making your meal. The decor is very casual. So here are the dishes I ordered often Fried egg rolls, it has peanut butter taste of cabbage, shrimp, and pork love it with their sweet-and-sour sauce. Hot and sour soup size small, it's an actual bowl of soup you can actually have it as a meal or share it with somebody. Shrimp with scrambled egg, jumbo shrimp, and fluffy egg I like it when I put a little bit of soy sauce it comes with a side of white rice. House fried rice combo love their fried rice. It's so flavorful and it has shrimp, pork chicken and it's not greasy. Beef chow fun with chinese broccoli noodles extra crispy, beef is so soft and the Chinese broccoli is fresh steamed. Steam shrimp dumpling with oyster sauce, this is an appetizer I like it has shrimp and wood ear mushroom Shrimp, wonton, and barbecue pork noodle soup this is a big bowl that you can have as a meal or you can share amongst other people. I also like their chicken chow mein and their egg foo yong shrimp. They give you hot tea but you have to ask if you want more they don't give you a tea kettle anymore. And you also have to ask for water as well. People are nice and the food comes out hot. Service is busy so you may have to speak up if you want something or boxes to take home or the check. Bathrooms always seem clean and modern. I may have repeated pictures of my food. It's because I like them that much! I would highly recommend this place if you don't want to take the trip to go into Chinatown. read more

We had lunch on a Saturday recently. There were lots of employees and the place was packed however everything was chaotic as each employee didn't seem to have a specific role. One employee was hostess, waiting tables, doing carry out, etc. We weren't greeted by anyone and the old lady that was up front at the time chose to seat another party even though we were there first. Our server forgot an entree and didn't bring it until we were pretty much done eating. She never came back after taking our order and dropping off food. This place seems to have gone down hill. We will probably not be back and would rather take a drive to Chinatown or other local Chinese restaurants. read more

We found this place since we were in the area and starving. I made the rookie mistake of not reading other folks' reviews and unfortunately, our waitress is the waitress reviewers warned about and she did not disappoint in all the rudeness. In fact, the entire experience was soured by her lack of basic manners. She makes it obvious that she doesn't want to be there and I think someone should do her a favor and fire her. If she's the owner, then we all know where this business is headed to. read more

I've been to Wonton Gourmet many times, and the quality has been consistently good. The food is always delicious, never disappointing The prices are very reasonable for the big portion and quality, which makes it an easy place to come back again and again. Service is okay, friendly and polite.It's usually pretty busy whenever I come, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Overall, a solid and reliable spot for great Chinese food. Would definitely recommend this great casual Chinese dining option for you guys!!! read more

I was so sad when 7 treasures closed and then we were informed this place is a sisters company and serves the same menu! Gave it a try and was impressed! Price is reasonable. And the workers were very nice. It's a lot bigger inside than I thought. They also have a parking lot which makes parking very easy. We ordered food to go and felt like it came out at a reasonable time. Definitely want to come back and dine in next! Definitely recommend for authentic Chinese food! Can't go wrong with their 554! If you know, you know!! read more

Ordered for delivery. The pricing and menu variation was appealing. I wanted comfort chinese food that wasn't your usual Chinese fast food. Wonton gourmet had the bbq pork with option as a rice plate or over braised noodles. I ordered on the braised noodles with bok choy. It was delicious. We also ordered the braised chicken often referred to as (ha nam chicken, salted chicken, or steamed ginger chicken) not many restaurants offer this dish. The portion was hearty, but a little on the salty side. The rice helped balance it; but not enough. Hot and sour soup was as ok, more on the tangy side but it was still thick and hearty. The crab rangoon - you get 4, BUT THEY ARE BIG! They are delicious and packed with filling. No skimping at all! Priced very reasonably, only negative feedback is there was no napkins or utensils provided with our Togo order. We had to get creative eating... and drank our soup from a cup. read more

For a place called Wonton Gourmet, sadly one of the most disappointing aspects of our dishes were the wonton dumplings. We ordered 3 bowls of noodle soup and the proteins (including the wontons) were smallish & scant (in comparison to many other Chinese restaurants we've dined at. The beef stew had only 2 small pieces of beef and about 3 pieces of tendon. Wontons were about 2/3 size of most places. No bok choy or other veggies, and broth was a tad salty. The dry fried beef rice noodle was very good. Service was pedestrian. Ambiance was tall ceiling modern. 4 dishes came to just under $60 so value for quality & quantity wasn't there. read more

When you spend most of your life visiting Seven Treasures in Chinatown, there's a void to be filled when the restaurant closes down. We recently went to Wonton Gourmet with our family for dinner and looking at the menu was so nostalgic. Wonton gourmet has its own parking lot with plenty of parking spaces. When you walk into, the inside has wallpapers of photos I believe of Hong Kong and the street markets that really added to the ambience. We were quickly shown to our tables where they brought out water. Our waiter came by and took our order shortly after and our food came out quickly after that. I had been craving my 554 meal, but I loved it with a runny egg so it was more like porridge. It absolutely hit the spot. My parents and my siblings got the wonton soup with extra shrimp dumplings on the side and rave that it's the best they've had since their favorite restaurant closed. All in all, we had a great time, and can't wait to come back for more. read more

I order here all the time, the food is good. I ordered near closing time. The restaurant confirmed the order. While I was on my way there not 10minutes later they canceled the order. I saw the call when i arrived at the store no more than 20 minutes after i placed my order I saw the phone calls and tried to call back. They dis not answer nor was there anyone inside. I saw an employee walk by and when i tried to ask about it all i got was "sorry were closed". Whatever this would be okay but i was still charged on my cc for the food. I tried to call and dispute but it was stated there was no manager working. Further I was told there was no set time for a manager to be on duty and they just stop by randomly. This is no way to run a business. Unless this is resolved by the company with a manager they will never get another dime from me. Sorry not sorry. read more

Food was fantastic, large portions and quick service. Food arrived to the table hot , tasty and super quick.

Recent visit on a Saturday evening...... place was packed, lots of take out orders, servers had no idea what was going on, have to ask 3 different servers for my orders. Diners were sitting waiting for someone to take their food orders. Lucky if you get your food or additional water or hot tea. Asked for more hot tea and it was COLD! Won Ton Gourmet used to give you a pot of hot tea but now only give you one cup! Owner is making money , servers are overwhelmed, younger bus person was lost! Good luck when you go there, May be go when they are now busy? May be don't go at all? Food seemed fine but at a busy dinner time there is no service whatsoever. I'll stay away for a while! Good luck wonton lovers. read more

We just came out of church.We had fourteen people we walked in at eight o'clock. If you like sugar in your food , you should come here. The crab ragofilled with sugar The soup had a sugary flavor sweet.To it. The only thing I liked was the egg fu young and the sweet and sour chicken. As soon as the food hit the table.\nShe asks us to pay the bill.It was actually eating, and she interrupted us because we are 3 different families.We all didn't understand how to split the bill.So we all got it from the table to run to the cash register to pay the bill. Then they kept asking us for boxes , if we needed any in the middle of us eating , if you don't want people in your restaurant , you should close the doors at seven. Real problem, the restaurant closes at 8:30 at 845.She told us to get out and leave.She's old lady behind the counter and she's very rude. It doesn't matter if everyone else is nice.Because whatever she tells them to do, that's what they do.They cannot assist you no more.No servers , no workers , no people behind the counter , she runs the whole place. We had an entire dinner in less than 45 minutes.The bill was like $300.Food was not worth it.Service was awful well , not return again. read more

This is the worst Chinese restaurant i have ever been to. I have been going to Chicago area Chinese restaurants for 30 years. This place is an insult. They discriminate against white people, dont even say hello, or try and talk to you. Service is terrible takes 20 min to get seated than another 30 to get questionable food. Then they give you the bumbs rush out if the place . They are only concern with servicing take out and uber orders. What an absolute disaster. Dont go near this place unless you want to be degregated and have 2 hours. This should be closed down! read more

It's been well almost a decade since my last visit ! Well worth trying ! It was extremely busy for a Sunday evening early dinner time (4-6ish). Extensive menu but would highly recommend and suggest trying their signature dishes listed on their glass wall inside. I really enjoy their BBQ pork dishes ESPECIALLY their CHOW FUN. Their noodles are very similar to Lad Nar in the sense they are crispy and soft all at the same time! (Hard and then soft when dipped in sauce) VERY tasty and unique ! Service was attentive as well. Solid and strong B+. It's extremely hole in the wall and only by word- of -mouth! read more

Great food wonderful soup the wontons are delious and the noodles are out of this world you can watch the soup being made the service is always grate read more

Overall Thoughts: The "sister restaurant" of the recently closed 7 Treasures restaurant in Chicago Chinatown, Wonton Gourmet serves up dishes reminiscent of 7 Treasures such as their signature 554 dish and wonton noodle soup. Unfortunately, they don't have the classic 7 Treasures meat combo dish with crispy pork belly, which was among my favorite things to order there. The prices are also higher than 7 Treasures, though still very reasonable. The service is quick and friendly, and the interior is spacious and nicely decorated. Located next to the 606 bus stop (which departs out of the Rosemont blue line stop), it's convenient to visit even if you're coming here without a car from the city. Food I tried: - Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup with Chinese Broccoli (+$2.75) (4.5/5): The wontons are delicious and taste exactly as they did at 7 Treasures. They're flavorful with thin skin and umami soup, and the noodles soaked up the flavor of the soup quite well. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.4/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5 read more

Wonton Gourmet - shrimp wonton noodle soup with chinese broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

I only recently discovered Wonton Gourmet, and I'm thrilled about the discovery! There used to be a restaurant in Schaumburg called Hong Kong Cafe, which fulfilled my craving of Cantonese noodles and small dishes. Since it closed, I haven't been to find something similar until Wonton Gourmet. It's generally fast, so you almost have to know what you want the moment you sit down. My favorite dishes so far include roast duck and shrimp wonton noodle (soup), black bean chow fun (the fun noodle was crispy!), and iced honey lemon tea was refreshing for a hot summer day. There are other rice platters (ie a dish and rice). The only think it doesn't have is congee. That would have been perfect! read more

Wonton Gourmet is a hidden gem in the suburbs, it's the closest to ChinaTown restaurants in the suburbs as you'll find. For reference this restaurant is about a 40 min drive from home, which is closer than ChinaTown, but we typically wouldn't drive this far for a restaurant regularly unless it's really good. We try to go at least once a month to either dine in or take-out. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, but not specifically modern or updated, but it works. The servers are attentive and fast. The food is prepared and comes out quickly as well. In my opinion, if you're familiar with or aware of the general customer service and style of service you'd get at most restaurants at ChinaTown, Wonton Gourmet is a hybrid, better service, more attentive than what you'd expect. It adjusts well for suburbans that might be more accustom to more typical chain restaurants in the suburbs. The food is great, full flavored and always prepared quickly and served immediately when ready. They bring out dishes when ready, they don't wait to bring everything out at one time generally. We always order Kung pao chicken and really like their chow fun and noodle soups, which is what they're know for. We'd recommend Wonton Gourmet for sure to anyone looking for recommendations for good food locally. read more

My family came here on a Monday night and the place was packed! Both with tables and carry out orders. The place is larger inside with and open seating concept, so it can get a bit loud. This place is your Hong Kong Style "Tea Restaurant." They have classics like cha siu, wonton noodle soup, and all the noodles galore. They also have some Chinese American Dishes as well to cater to the American palate. The Beef and Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) chow fun and the Black Bean Beef Chow Fun were great! I loved that they make their noodles so crispy and when combined with the saucy dish makes for a tasty bite! The Crab Rangoons are alright- just mostly cream cheese. The Wonton Noodle soup was good- pretty meaty wontons! Overall, my HK family approves. Probably best Cantonese food in the burbs. read more

We ended up here because our flight got rerouted and the airline put us in a hotel across the street from Wonton Gourmet. The parking lot was empty and there weren't many people in the restaurant. It wasn't the best looking place when you want to describe ambience. It seems like it might be a family owned business. We ordered the General Tso's chicken, orange chicken and chow mein. We also ordered 3 egg rolls. The food was cooked fresh and very good. We absolutely loved our food. The only thing is my son was confused if he liked the chow mein or the lo mein, and turns out he ordered the wrong one. So he was upset about the chow mein, but it I thought it tasted good. All in all the food was delicious! read more

I went here with a group of friends for lunch on a weekday. One of us had contacted the restaurant days earlier to make sure they would be able to accommodate a group of our size. They said yes, but I'll get to that in a moment. The dining room is modern and upscale and the food is Hong Kong-style cuisine with a focus on old school Cantonese. We were disappointed to observe that the vast menu offers neither lunch specials nor lunch-size portions. The carryout/online menu lists both small and large portions, however everything on the dine-in menu--including apps--comes only supersize. Ditto the soups. There was only one server for the entire restaurant, which was filled. Apart from being completely overwhelmed, she was woefully inefficient. It took her 20+ minutes to serve canned sodas. Then, the kitchen churned out apps and entrees in no particular order. Of two orders of egg foo young ordered as entrees, the first one arrived before any other dish, and the second was nowhere to be seen until nearly everyone had finished their entrees. Requests for missing items had to be repeated several times. At least our food arrived hot. Noodle soups and noodle dishes seem to be the most popular items here. Everything else was hit-or-miss. Our entrees ranged from excellent (soups, volcano shrimp) to so-so. My Mongolian beef, sans 'styrofoam' noodles and swimming in a watery sauce, was somewhere in the middle. My egg roll appetizer, which did not arrive until after I was done eating my entrée, was mediocre. Two orders of pan-fried pot stickers went uneaten because their wrappers were doughy, tough and overcooked. The crab Rangoon was a meh. Chinatown quality not. We were not served tea or fortune cookies. At the end of the meal, we asked repeatedly for enough containers and bags for everyone in our party. But for some unfathomable reason our server would bring only a couple containers at a time instead of all in one trip. Duh. read more
