Wonton Time

Cheap eats that are hidden away in Market Village! They messed up my order (switched the wontons around for each bowl) but the server noticed and took it back into the kitchen immediately. Overall, decent price and food’s ok. Not amazing but it’ll do.

WONTONS that are the size of your fist?! YES PLEASE!
After my GPS sent me on a wild duck duck goose chase i finally found it!
it is sort of in the middle of nowhere considering I am not from the area… or anywhere close at all.
This magnificent ball of glory is like the king of all wontons. Inside of each bite, there are whole bunches of fresh shrimp pieces. The wontons I had in NY are all just meat based with bits of shrimp that are frozen. Ever since i got here, i been having this almost every day! Their special wonton dish is made daily so they will ensure you that it is fresh. you can also buy their wontons frozen too to cook at home but unfortunately it is prohibited to bring these back to NY to share with others. The sauce though you can bring home! I really dont think the sauce is necessary becasue i enjoy the natural sweetness of the dish. It may compliment it but i prefer the sweet taste on its own.
For its price i would not cry about ordering 2 bowls in one sitting. plus its so delciious that you wont regret it. Staff is extremely interactive with customers which is a bonus! Would highly recommend to eat at this place.

Located inside Market Village near the grocery store at the back of the mall
My family and I were craving for some wontons after coming back from HK. After seeing decent reviews about this place, we decided to try it out. We ordered the veggies, wonton noodles and sui gao noodles. Veggies with oyster sauce was decent, typical veggies. Maybe I was lucky but I didn’t get any sand like what Jennifer was mentioning. The wontons were okay but not spectacular. The big disappointment was the sui gao. They were larger than expected but once you take a bite, it falls apart. I’ve never had that happen before.
Overall, whenever we do have a craving for wontons, we’ll be sticking to Wonton Hut.

This place is a hole in a hole in the wall. Market village is not a popular place and wonton time looks deceivingly average from the outside.
What is amazing about this place is that it only specializes in noodles with soup or Lo mien. Each bowl of noodle soup is $ 5 and the portion, while not big, is decent. Flavour is ok and there are better noodle shops out there compared to this place. But where wonton time excels is awesome value for money!

I order a fish ball noodle. Fish ball is too small. I added extra noodles and it didn’t look like it. Overall don’t like it.

I’m so glad there’s no review here about how horrible it is that you have to share table with strangers. That’s how good the place is. Don’t expect the western high class restaurant service here, because that’s just not how they roll here. Think American Diners.
99.9% of the time I would not touch the soup when I eat out, but these guys do their soup base right. How do I know? I was drinking it.
Their food has a good balanced taste, and generous in size, that’s just old school Toronto. My wife likes the other famous wonton place in the GTA, but I just don’t like the fact that I almost always ended up with one that had shells in it. Not this place.

Love the wonton at this place. They’re massive and they don’t leave any shrimp unpeeled either. The portions are decent too for the price. the vegetable lomein was delicious too. This place doesn’t have much variety or atmosphere but that’s okay for the price.

The best wonton noodle soup in town! Hands down! $ 5 for a bowl of egg noodles with some wontons and broth, what a bargain! They don’t skimp on the wonton fillings either. You can see the pieces of lump shrimp in them. Also because it’s so cheap, I’d opt for extra wontons or get another bowl such as their beef brisket. They also make it fast. Simple menu, but with a name like Wonton Time, what more can you expect? They do wonton right!

Actually not bad. Prices are fair for the portions you get but then I don’t eat a lot soooooo. If you get full if you eat [an equivalent of] 3 burgers then this is the place for you.
The flavours aren’t bad either [they trump a lot of phở place in the vicinity for taste]
This place honestly has an approximately 10 options — it’s a simple & quick lunch.
Bee brisket, wonton noodles, & the vegetable dish = $ 14.

I think Wonton Time has changed management, because the menu is bigger, and there is wait staff services. A waitress brought me hot tea!
I ordered a wonton soup noodle ($ 5). It was good. The broth was so tasty that I almost wanted to drink it all. There were 4 wontons. They were big, tasted fresh and had quite a few pieces of shrimps.
Of course, with wait staff services, I tipped.
This is a good place for a simple lunch.

Disclaimer: I am an American girl from New York Queens area and this is my first time to Toronto. My Canadian Chinese boyfriend is introducing me to his family and all the wonderful authentic Hong Hong Chinese cuisines.
I’ve had my introductory lectures from my boyfriend about the difference between «Chinatown kitchen» wonton and the real deal. The real wonton soup is supposed to be brewed from shrimps shells and free of MSGs. From the wonton skin and shrimp, pork, and everything… etc. I did my best impression of a open minded cultural girl friend but deep down I though yeah right…
Well, he was right! My god, I’ve never ever tasted any Wontons and Dumplings soup noodles like this. The thin but slightly chewy skins and the rediculously bouncy shrimps. Holy!
I have to respectfully disagree with the couple reviewers here. I think the noodles were wonderful. Maybe they are so used to such high quality food therefore the expectation is much higher. However, for a peasant American white girl such as myself, this is amazing!
I’ve never liked the NY wonton noodles because of the sogginess, the slight hint of alkaline… etc. I swear the noodles here has none of the above mentioned issue but with the right amount of chewiness amazingly.
It was too bad I was not impressed with the boiled veggies dish and the fact they don’t serve ice water didn not help. I hate Nestle bottle water because it is nasty and ruins the food taste. Of course I did not tell my boyfriend haha.
I am a fan now!
P. S. the bathroom was clean and the serving lady was very pleasant and kind.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I have been going to this place for wonton noodle since mid 2000s. And I got to say, they offer the BEST wonton noodles ever. If you were to offer me free ramen from some high end ramen place or this — I will pick this place over anywhere in a heartbeat.
The wonton/​dumplings are hand made in front of you, their kitchen is open concept so you can see what the chef is doing. Their wonton./dumplings are huge and their rice noodles/​egg noodles are chewy and tasty. The soup base/​broth is light and not greasy at all with great flavors. Their style is the traditional HK style and I have to say, it is extremely close to the ones I have in HK. Don’t expect high end service here because the follow the traditions from HK. for example, you have to walk up to the counter and pay for yourselves. Otherwise, i always have noodles here:)

I agree with the sentiments of the reviewer that said there is lousey service.
We had to come here at one point because our fav dim sum place closed down and didn’t offer dim sum. Left to our own devices we came here for a period of time. The owner (guy with longish hair and glasses) never smiles and is indifferent to customers. His wife is really no different though Ive never been there when she has been present but my family has. We were regulars but you’d think the owner would acknowledge us somewhat but never.
We were just talking about it today, the servers at this place were more friendly than the owners. We stopped coming here after our fav dim sum opened again and we’re glad we did. One of the servers there was really nice to us and one time she saw us somewhere else, she told us basically after working there for years she was just ‘laid off’ without so much as a thank you. They cut her hours to a point that it was pointless staying there.
I think all the regular servers are gone and now all that’s left are cranky indifferent staff at a typical chinese restaurant. Take your money else where, it’s not like the portions are great for what you pay.

This place back in the early 2000 was much better tasting according to my memory. The squid and fish balls were larger and better tasting. Same owner, but the place looks «tired» if you know what I mean. Such a shame, I really enjoyed their noodle back then.

I’m all Sally Sourpants because I made a 1.5 hour trek up to Markham expecting wonton noodle paradise in my mouth.
I did not get wonton noodle paradise in my mouth.
Seriously, what’s all the fuss about? I’ve had just as satisfying soups elsewhere for a dollar less.

Just want to update on Patty L review on Wonton Time. the veggie with oyster sauce is no long at $ 1.50, made that $ 3. I would have give Wonton Time at least 4 stars if not for the veggie I ordered.
The wonton and fish ball rice noodle I ordered tasted pretty good. 3.5 stars… The shrimp in the wonton is freah and have a great bite too it.
However the veggie I ordered it was full of sand! crunch crunch crunch! I just could not make myself to eat that and that little plate for $ 3 and has sand all over it? BTW, if you want to have veggie go for lettuce since at least there won’t be sand in between the stems.
They were really nice when I told them about what’s wrong with my veggie. and they apologized and took that off my bill.
** My boyfriend after hearing my story went there and order the same veggie again and have the same problem the next day! (gee now I know he never listens when I am talking!!)
So please stay away from that and it will make it an excellent wonton noodle experience!
They accepts Cash only!

Growing up, whenever my grandparents or parents took me out to dim sun or lunch they knew that the best way to keep me happy was to order a big tureen of wonton noodle soup (to be shared with everyone, but inevitably I would eat about half of it!). In my life I’ve had a lot of bad wonton noodle soup, and a precious handful of excellent bowls.
I can always expect a great bowl of wonton noodle soup at Wonton Time. It’s a bit out of the way for me to go up to Market Village, but once every few months when I get a craving I’ll either come up here myself or ask someone to grab some take-​out for me.
Their portions are generous — 4 golf-​ball sized shrimp wontons (no pork, green onions or other fillers here — it’s pure shrimp!) in a bowl of noodles for $ 4. If you want an extra potion of noodles it’s $ 1 extra. The broth is delicious — and not too heavy with the MSG (i.e your throat is not parched dry 20 mins after you’ve left the restaurant). You can order a plate of Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) for $ 1.50.
They also have other dumplngs (sui gau), beef tendons, beef balls and whatnot — but as their name states, their wonton are their best menu item. They are made fresh in-​house — in fact sometimes you’ll see the staff wrapping them if you come on a quiet afternoon on a weekday. Their wrapping speed and technique is quite mesmerizing!
The service is speedy and to the point: they direct you to any free table, bring you tea, take your order and when you want to leave you just bring your bill to the cashier and someone will cash you out. The seating and tables are not the cleanest, but at least there’s a washroom for customers (that’s decently clean by Chinese restaurant standards) and I’m never here for longer than 30 minutes anyhow so I can turn a blind eye.
Over the past few years, relatives convince me to go out and try wonton noodle soup at this or that restaurant… and inevitably I come back here because I know that I will not be disappointed and always leave satisfied.

It’s a typical Chinese eatery that serves solely noodles along with a variety of toppings such as wonton, shrimp wonton, sliced beef, cuttle fish etc. Definitely one of the best shrimp wontons I’ve tried. You can combine it with yellow noodle, vermicelli or rice noodle. Its cheap, yummy and great if you’re planning for a quick bite. If you’re a fast eater like me, guaranteed you’ll be served once you sit down and finish your bowl of noodles within 10minutes max! It gets quite crowded during lunchtime so be warned.

Located in the Market Village mall, this sparsely decorated noodle house with service to match, is one of Scarborough’s hidden gems.
I have had their signature dish, the wonton noodle soup, multiple times and I can say without a doubt, this is the best tasting wonton noodle soup I have ever had. Ever. Period.
If you are looking for «authentic» shrimp/​pork wontons, this isn’t it. Instead you get four large shrimp filled wontons in a soup that is unmatched. They know their soup is so good, it’s even offered as a menu item. Combined with fresh noodles and you definitely have a winner here.
A word of advice. Those with low-​sodium diets need not apply.
And bring tissues if your nose tends to run while you’re slurping a hot delicious soup.
An unfilled-​to-​the-​top plastic cup of Chinese tea is standard with each meal.
This tasty $ 5 meal/​treat will indeed have me returning again and again and again.
Occupying the #1 spot on my Wonton Noodle Soup list, their offering is simply as good as it gets and so this restaurant manages to snag my first Unilocal 5-​star review.

Since I live in Orange County (California), I’ve been pretty deprived of good Cantonese food in general, and in particular, good Cantonese noodle soup (or to be exact, noodle in soup). This place is a no frills, sort-​of-​hole-​in-​the-​wall place inside a busy Chinese mall (Market Village) that serves nothing but Cantonese noodle (in soup, or soup on side) with various topping choices (wonton, shrimp dumplings, HK-​style fish balls, etc.). The noodles are as authentic as they come — chewy in texture, and the prices are reasonable (basic noodle in soup with one kind of topping costs about $ 5.50 per bowl). I ordered the HK-​style fish balls lo-​mein (the kind that’s served with soup on the side, rather than in soup) and it is the best of its kind that I can remember in a long while. I liked this place so much that I was here twice during my 15-​day trip to Toronto.
