H K Wonton Garden

I always go here whenever I’m in Chinatown or after my dentist appointment. Lately, I’ve been getting the Roast Duck with Wonton egg noodle soup and it”s very delicious and very tasty. You don’t even need appetizers since their noodle soup makes you full which is good meal. Their menu has a lot of choices to eat. Their egg noodles/​dishes are very cheap and affordable. However the staff doesn’t really understand fluent English so you have to try to explain them clearly your order or what you want in your food. Overall, love this place and definitely one of my go-​to places for noodles.

Hk wonton garden serves the best wonton noodle soup I’ve had and I’ve been to a whole bunch of places in Chinatown and Flushing.
Wontons are like the Chinese version of pizza. A somewhat over-​hyped, simple dish with lots of competition and claims to fame. However, as anyone knows, when you happen to be in the mood for wontons (or pizza) they are like manna from heaven.
The service here was just ok but in a way it is a good sign to have somewhat blah service before you are served your food at a Chinese restaurant.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER OMG… My food was ready in less than 2 minutes roast pork was stale and raw, duck was very stale and had the color green in it. Everything came out cold like if they microwaved it. I will never eat here again and they have the nerve to demand $ 5 tip! Ugh never ever eat here please save yourself. 2÷2÷16 @ 11:23 PM I’m going home very angry and still hungry. Should’ve went to the damn grocery store instead. They don’t even deserve 1 star, NO STAR.

Beef Stew with Shanghainese Noodle with Big Wontons — 3 Stars
It was pretty good, but nothing to go crazy about. Good if you want cheap food.
Customer Service — 2 starts
Pretty much no customer service at all. Just tossed the dish on the table and nothing much happened. And they include it in the check automatically.

I just had need ho fun today. The beef was good but the ho fun tasted bad. It’s not properly flavored and it’s just not acceptable for a 9 $ dish. Lol

My husband and I each had a noodle dish. My husband ended up ordering a dish that customers sharing our table recommended. It was very good.

This place was pretty packed it’s very small. the food was ok it was nothing to brag about. the service was just ok as well. I wasn’t impressed.

Looking for a place to eat late sunday night, and this place was still open. Not the best well kept place and smelled like dirty rag. But I can’t complain with the food. To start, we ordered pig feet on the side to share, which we thought was pretty good. I’ve ordered the wonton noodle with wonton and dumplings, which was a pretty big portion and my husband ordered the beef tendon with noodle soup. Good comes out fast and priced reasonably.

I have eaten here many times! I get confused which one is which but there’s a Wonton Garden and HK wonton garden. do they have the same owner!!! The one called Wonton garden is the winner. They use whole shrimp (deveined!!!) in each wonton! Hands down the best
Please stop using MSG in your soup though, it tastes a million times better without it!!! I have to drink three bottles of water to get rid of the MSG in my throat

No frills traditional Chinese restaurant. Went on a Saturday afternoon to a pretty packed restaurant.
There is table service – but again, no frills. Was told by a coworker that this is the best soup in Manhattan and I believe it!

This is my second review ever! First of all. I was there last night and I was hugely upset and infuriated. They totally overcharged me on my bill and for non-​ethical reasons. This is not my first time here. I was here once before last year. The service then was «meh» as usual but I go there for the food which was good.
However, this time not only was I not given all of my food. I was overcharged. I know for two reasons because I ordered the same thing last time and looked on the menu again this time to re-​confirm.
So, they bring my food out… But I see I have no rice with my food. I let that slide because my friends had extra rice to spare. Keep in mind my friends but way more than what I bought. This is important to remember for later in this review.
After all is done and over with. We get the bill. My friends are confused and noticed they are overcharged a slight bit. Possibly an added gratuity plus tax. There’s no telling because they write it down on a little piece of paper and show you just random numbers.
Now, I’m thinking okay I must be overcharged too but not as much as my friends considering I just got one item…
No. Mine came out the same as their bill. Which is more than double than what it’s suppose to be. I immediately and respectfully confront our server. I ask him why my meal is more than suggested on the menu. He begins writing down the calculations with no explanation of what each numerical figure is and shows me the total. I tell him. «Sir, I wasn’t even given rice with my meal.» He tells me with a smile… «Your friends gave you rice.»
At that moment I was done. I paid the bill. Left.
I highly recommend not coming here. It’s a disrespect that anyone should have to go through that. I’m sure I’m not the only one. If you do come here I’d suggest asking the prices before hand even while looking at the menu. Like I said, I was here once before and the food was what I ordered and of the price mentioned. This time… God awful.
Hey, at least it tasted good, right…

H K Wonton Garden is great at, guess it? Did you guess?
WONTONS!
I first came to this little spot because I was hungry and didn’t want to spend more than $ 6. Also, I initially thought I’d have dessert, but decided I wanted something more savory.
Since then I’ve checked out H K a few times and have stuck to what the place is known for on all occasions. Many of their other menu items look tasty, too, so I’m going to have to mix it up one of these days. The plain wonton soup, which is delicious and filling, costs under $ 5. You can add a variety of toppings to your soup (noodles, veggies, mushrooms, beef stew, beef tendon, et al.). Regardless of what you get it probably won’t come up to more than $ 8 or $ 9.
The waiters here wear Hawaiian shirts, which is a cute touch. Service is just okay. Place has an A inspection grade, whoa!
There’s a good mix of locals and tourists here. I’d say there’s more locals, thank goodness. The first time I came here I sat next to these two hipsters, one who kept going on about his supposed knowledge of Asian cuisine (because «Asian» best describes Chinese), yet couldn’t tell the difference between the duck and the beef tendon when it came to his table. Seconds later he asks the waiter for chili oil although it was sitting right in front of him. Shaking my head and giggling all the same.

I want to start by saying this is at least my fourth visit with no previous issues.
REVIEW YOUR RECEIPT VERY CAREFULLY. We noticed an unannounced $ 2.50 service charge (allegedly for using a credit card, but then how did would they know we were using a card for payment when calculating the bill before bringing it to us ???) in addition to tax. Now, I would understand that if it was an ANNOUNCED gratuity for large parties but that wasn’t the case. It was just two of us. Mind you, this service charge is nowhere to be found on the menu, wall, display of policies, etc.
Bottom line: What they were attempting to do was extortive, predatory, and illegal. It’s a shame that they try to take advantage of drunk people and those who don’t look at their bill carefully.
I have no issue rewarding waiters with a good tip for good service, but as you see here, there is no honor amongst thieves.
Shame on you all.

I’m an idiot. I totally missed the fact that this place was called Wonton Garden.
I’m guessing this place is only good for Wonton because my Orange Chicken dish was horrible. The chicken was rubbery and the sauce was just bad. The broccoli tasted funny too.
With so many other wonderful restaurants in Chinatown, I really don’t know how this place survives.

Softball sized wontons. Hand pulled noodles. Perfect on a cold day. Try the duck wontons.

Decided on visiting Chinatown on my last day in NYC. It was the worst part of my visit.
Service here was terrible — maybe because I expected it to be bad. Almost 100% of the time, the service I get at hole-​in-​the-​wall/​family-​owned Asian restaurants is incredibly subpar to the point to where employees just simply disrespect you. When I walked in, the restaurant was half empty — or half full if you’re positive! It was my last day in New York, so I was dragging my luggage around. I wasn’t event carrying that much. It was just my backpack and a carry-​on luggage. I sat at a 4-​person table because it was kind of away from restaurant traffic in a corner. The guy, who would be my server, yelled at me and pointed to a smaller table. I mean, I understand, but there were several other vacant 4-​seated tables.
When I asked for water, my server complied with a snarl. He never smiled. He just seemed grouchy with me. Seriously, I don’t now what his problem is. I kept a to-​go menu as a piece of memorabilia, and without asking, he snatched it from my table and passive aggressively placed it to its original location. Okay, whatever. Take it. I don’t think I should ever use that menu again.
Okay onto the food:
The beef noodle casserole was okay. Wontons were pathetic. Look at the photos I posted. Only one spec of a shrimp per wonton. Oh, and when I asked for chopsticks, they are kind of unsanitary with it. Another employee touched both ends of the chopsticks with his bare hands when he handed them to me. Gross. Well, if one were actually in China, there is no such thing as sanitary, so I guess what just happened is an authentic China experience.

Before Unilocal and Social Media there was the Eye Test for Chinatown restaurants. I decided to take a walk down Mott & Mulberry Streets and see where the locals, Chinese, and Asian college students hang out. It brought me back here. The noodle soups are made with care here, and the egg noodle quality is outstanding. I have learned that it is difficult to get high quality roast duck in Chinese restaurants these days including H K Wonton. Still it was great to get a temporary holiday from the Unilocal crowds. Now I do love and utilize Unilocal,but sometimes Unilocalers forget it is about the food, and not the Unilocal experience!

Cheap Asian food! We came here for lunch with three people. We ordered 3 wonton noodles with roast pork and duck, chicken feet (dimsum dish), shu mai — pork dumplings (dimsum dish), tripe with noodles, and squid with dry noodles. The waiter asked if there was a 4^th person coming, we told him no then he asked why we ordered so much… my friend pointed at me and said «She’s hungry».
I was super hungry but it was a decent amount of food. I enjoyed the wonton noodles with pork and duck. The shu mai was good too– decent amount of shrimp and pork. The chicken feet was too soggy. The tripe with noodles came with more noodles than tripe but it was decent. I was not a fan of the squid.
I recommend the wonton noodles with roast pork and duck!

Weekday lunch
Eggplant w/​shredded pork ($ 6.45)
It came out fast. My picture of the dish looks better but actuality, it was dull. I had to add some sweetness and I picked up Hoisin sauce on the table and pour over it and got fine but the saltiness, I could not do much but to eat a lot of rice to balance off. The pork was tender. I enjoyed it.
I don’t think I will come back anytime soon but beef stew has a great reviews, many giving a five star. I will come back just for that.

I don’t give enough credit to this area for now only having affordable, good food but also proudly showing that letter A for their health grade.
Well done guys.
I came here after checking in initially into another Asian dining place BUT in efforts to shake my «followers» and/​or «fans», I did a little quick check-​in and head on out to the real destination. I could be hallucinating or just paranoid BUT I trust my spidey sense more than most people.
This place is pretty small but can still accommodate 20 people at a time easily. This place was pretty darn clean. I repeat. THIS PLACE WAS PRETTY DARN CLEAN. Being an Asian restaurant AND located around Canal street can bring on unmentionable filth but this restaurant was CLEAN. Heck, I’d come back just knowing that I won’t be seating on sticky seats GLADLY.
I was indecisive on what I wanted to eat and as I sort through many pictures posted by other Unilocalers who have dined here previously, I had some idea.
Eventually I went with S17 (Beef Stew with wontons and Shanghai noodles). I loved this dish. The size was good. Would I have liked it more if the portions were bigger? Absolutely. But for what it was it was filling and tasty. The beef stew were mostly tender and flavorful except those few extra fatty pieces that you had to bite off. The worse are the beef stew pieces that are sandwiched in between 2 extra fatty layers. Very hard to bite that off cleanly. The wontons consisted of shrimp & minced beef fillings. The skin of the wontons left much to be desired as I’m one of those people who like thin wonton skins to avoid feeling like I was eating what seemed like a bunch of noodles stacked together in the shape of a wonton each time I took a bite. Even so this is quite the go to dish and don’t let my criticism deter you from ordering this. ORDER THIS.
I was pretty starving so as an insurance policy I also ordered the D11 which is minced chicken congee. Mmm… just like granny used to make when I was a child. The congee came practically overflowing out of the bowl which I didn’t mind. The chicken was tasty. The ginger slices were tasty. And the congee was the right balance of saltiness to neutral that makes congee such an excellent dish to have in the mornings. Except, I was eating it at night.
WHOOPS.
Hey! If IHOP can served pancakes at night and have people eat it, I can eat congee at night as well.
Service was on point even though they barely acknowledge you with a smile or words.
The ONE thing that they really do need improvement on? Lower the volume in which they scream Cantonese across the dining area where people are trying to eat their meals. I understand that Cantonese is supposed to sound like a bunch of angry men using strong air gestures and not giving an EFF BUT I happen to understand Cantonese and believe me it wasn’t the State of the Union address translated.
I would definitely make a trip just to come here or if I’m around the area, which is the more likely scenario.
