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.
