Clean restaurant with no wait for dinner in the heart of Chinatown. I've had wonton noodles at other places but this restaurant' soup just wasn't as flavorful. Food was a bit bland but still affordable, and they have an extensive menu serving other dishes as well.

I think this place was pretty good. I'm from AZ though and there's a spot here that compares. Don't get me wrong, I still loved the food, but I'm not sure this place has anything super special. I would definitely go back if I find myself in Chinatown again. The space was clean and comfy and the service was average. Worthy of a 20% tip, but nothing crazy exceptional.

My wontons were nice size with shrimp along with egg noodles, duck and Chinese broccoli. It was tasty and good portion. Service was quick and I enjoyed the cold AC on one of the hottest days in NYC. ice water was refreshing and appreciated. The decor was pretty and clean

This is a photo of the pan fried bun. It was SO GOOD.

10/10! My family and I got chicken cow mei and the pan fried buns. The prices were good and not expensive. This place only has three stars but deserves 5. The noodles were amazing and so were the buns. I left stuffed and do not regret a thing. The place is a bit small and we had to wait about five minutes for a table. Overall, this place is amazing and if you are in China town, you should come!

Curry fish balls

I don't recall if I've been here before but the interior of this brings me out of the old Chinatown, and into HK. The place looks really clean and polished. For a Friday afternoon, it wasn't too crowded and we were seated right away. We started with curry fish balls, soup dumplings, and mantou with condensed milk. My son loved the plain white buns but he also loves everything "bread". The curry fish balls were decent - wish it had a bit more of a kick. Soup dumplings are average - but you don't come to a place called wonton noodle and expect excellent soup dumplings. We come here for the beef brisket, wonton noodle soup! And that was the bomb diggity. Nice and warm with large wontons, and tons of beef brisket. Soup was so refreshing. This hit the spot.

First and foremost .,,this place was so TIDY..it is such a clean space ..They're not waitresses were wiping and cleaning non-stop ; while taking orders and attending to tables. I loved that. I am a huge customer service person ; so I appreciated their high attentiveness. The space here is small...tight even..--now the food ..I was overhyped about the dishes ..I was also starving ..the soup was not hot..as in no steam..the broth was tasty ..but it lacked something ..I can't place it ..the soup dumplings were crab and pork ; honestly I only tasted pork ..the food was meh (imo)...but I love their customer service and hospitality..also the prices were not bad at all being that this is a tik tok favorite ..

Didn't really have great experiences coming here as the food was always so-so, but compared to some other places around, the seating's more spacious when they're not busy. The food's really nothing to write home about but I guess tourists can't tell the difference.

Wonton noddle soup was good but the beef was too chewy :) there were many hyenas and the bathroom was cool

It's an okay noodle place in Chinatown; it replaced what used to be Wonton Garden (since they moved to Mei Lai Wah Wonton Noodle). It's a new restaurant compared to what was there before, with modern decorations. We had shu-mai, wonton noodle soup, and stir-fried noodles. The stir-fried noodles were good. I did not care much for their shu-mai and noodle soup. The price was good, and the service was okay. If I have another craving for noodles, I will probably go to another noodle place instead of here.

Stopped by in the middle of the week for a quick lunch. Got there early and was seated right away. Had the Dumpling & Wonton Ho Fun in Soup which was very good - flavorful with a fair amount of noodles. Service was efficient. Felt a little rushed as they assigned my table to new guests even before I I had finished. The new guests then proceeded to hover around me until I finished.

Booth seatings
Susan L.

Great place to go for wonton and dumpling noodle soups. The atmosphere is new and clean with pretty decor. They have very nice booth seatings. If it's not crowded, you get to sit in the comfortable booth seats and also don't have to share the big table. They have combo meats such as duck or beef brisket with wonton or dumpling in the noodles with soup. For meats, they have roast duck, roast pork and fishballs, but no soy sauce chicken. Their wontons are pretty good with shrimp and pork inside. I like their dumplings much better though. It also has shrimp and pork inside. I got that with beef brisket and ho fun, the wide rice noodles, instead of the yellow stringy noodles. Very filling and less than $15. Just the dumpling noodle soup is about $11. Same with just the wonton noodle soup. Good place to dine-in for some dumpling or wonton noodle soups.

Chicken chow fun
Jane K.

I used to love coming here (maybe 10 years ago) but ever since the renovation it hasn't been the same. The food is pretty average now which is such a letdown compared to what it used to be. On top of that, the place didn't feel very clean for it being newly renovated. This spot was kind of the OG but with so many other options around now, it's hard to want to come back. Note there's an auto 18% tip added to your bill. I'm indifferent to this but thought it should be mentioned.

Brisket Noodles

Food was great. Aunties working there are lovely. Also air conditioning in the middle of summer a plus.

There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.

Tasted good, but to me it wasn't so mind-blowing where I felt like it something I could only find at this specific restaurant. We also tried the berkshire pork and chive potstickers but they were too burnt on some sides for my liking. The oyster mushroom rice roll noodles were hit or miss depending on the bite, some bites were too salty and some were just right. The tiger shrimp with candied walnuts were good, but it just felt like such a small portion for the amount we got. I could argue that for most of the dishes honestly, however I am torn about this being a fair critique because you could argue that it's kinda racist to be like Chinese food should be cheap, so in some ways it's almost a form of protest to charge these prices for each dish, in which case I say hell yeah stick it to the man! Luckily my friend had treated me to my meal here so I wasn't upset by the bill, but I probably would have felt maybe a little like it wasn't worth it if I had to use my own money to pay for it. Overall though, great location with lots of dessert options in the area, and great service. My friend had just come from the airport and the staff checked her luggage somewhere else so it wouldn't take up so much room in the restaurant.

For $7 or less you can get a small order of one of three roasted proteins: pork, duck, or chicken. For around $9 you can get a large order which is easily enough for two people. My favorite is the roasted pork. The crispy skin is a great texture contrast when combined with fatty and meaty pieces. The flavor profile is your typical Chinese roast protein recipe. The ordering process is simple, however, the line can be discouraging and at times down right ridiculous. Normally the line extends out the door and around the corner. I've visited here on sunny and rainy days, but luckily on the rainy day I was already inside when the rain started pouring. But again, for a filling meal so cheap, standing in line might be a small price to pay. Inside the restaurant is tight and accommodates no more than 3-4 customers at a time. TIP: know what you want ahead of time so that by the time you reach the front of the line you can simply order, pay, and exit. The guys behind the counter move efficiently. Also, they take cash only.

I got the roast duck and crispy pork which are both so delicious. It comes on a huge bed of rice and they drench it in the sauce from the meat. Also comes with a side of cabbage which is perfectly tender and also covered in delicious meat sauce. This place is incredible value too. A small box is $6 and a big one that we shared between 3 people was $10? Love this place and would return for this and this only.
