A hidden gem that's in plain sight in Chinatown! Surprised that they haven't gone viral at all, but they had a few tables of families touristing when I picked up food for a (soothing tummy) Sunday dinner & seem fairly busy anyway. The set up is classic Hong Kong restaurant/cafe with the kitchen & roast meats area up front, friendly uncles & an auntie working. Most staff are at least dual language Cantonese & English, maybe some Mandarin. It's noodles for lunch & rice (course meals) for dinner, but I wasn't feeling well. I needed something comforting. The OG Standard Cantonese order is $8 Wonton Noodle Soup - I chose the "Dumpling version" over wonton (ie. Wontons & vermicelli egg noodles in a chicken-based broth). Think chicken soup, matzo soup - not your overly salted, saucy American-style flavors. Cantonese food values the freshest & simple flavors of the real ingredients. Was happily surprised that their version was SUPER fresh! The dumplings were a nice small - medium size, plump & juicy. Cross section reveals perfectly portioned shrimp, pork, shitake mushroom, & scallion (nice twist!). I mean, the chef is wrapping them right in front of you up front. The vermicelli noodles were a bit softer than al dente & the best test was bringing at home and dividing the noodles into two bowls. They sectioned off easily & didn't become a weird mass on the 40 minute commute home. The other surprising part of the soup was the broth! I wouldn't say Cantonese wonton soup broths are deep or memorable but this broth surprised me. It had more flavor and like a light medium depth than others I've had. Right before I went to pay for my order, a grandpa quickly came in and picked up a pint of "the chicken broth." The chef seemed to know him and joked about his "special order "and a different type of name for it. TRUST the grandpas! You can add some chili oil, dash of white pepper, or worst case scenario a dash of soy sauce to the soup, but encourage you not to ruin the purity of the ingredients! Maybe I'll bring my family here the next time they're in town, I have high hopes for the rest of their Cantonese dishes. Note: The staff was very homey & kind. Auntie upfront noticed that I needed to go to the bathroom & relayed it to the staff. It's a small restaurant & the staff replied to her with which customer was using the bathroom, & one other that was waiting next, and then me. It might be distracting, but also slightly charming; because the staff talks across the restaurant to each other. It's the Southern Chinese informal way - feeling at home. read more

I never make reviews but I had to mention this experience my friend had. My friend is from Bangladesh, they went to restaurant alone, and they were met with racist remarks. And given bad service on top of the racist remarks. I'm heavily disappointed and angry. You might not wanna go to this restaurant if you're brown, or might get discriminated against. read more

I order wonton noodle soup and BBQ pork over white rice. The wontons are small and soup base doesn't feel like authentic. Pork and Rice is okay but I'm surprised it has no vegetables. Other places would put like cabbages or Chinese broccoli. Overall 3.2 out of 5 read more

I came here because I have heard many recommendations for it. Also my favorite place on Canal street has closed and I have been trying to find a replacement. This place is not it, the food was greasy and it was not what I expected. Now in their defense it was to go and that does affect the texture of the food. I ordered the lo mein and the meats on rice. So I understand the noodles not being up to par because everyone's lo mein is different but the roasted meats were a disappointment. The roasted meats were not flavorful and were overcooked for my taste. The place was full so maybe this is just me. Not sure but you should try it the lady who took my order was very nice. The place looked clean and it was efficiently ran. I am not sure if I would be back. I miss my place dearly, good food is difficult to find. read more

H K Wonton Garden - Precious ingredients on rice - Cantonese Near Me - New York, New York

Two words, "No frills." This is a great traditional old school Cantonese restaurant. The food is decent and affordable. The star of the show is the beef brisket and tendon noodle soup, the broth is rich and the meat is soft and tender. The portion sizes are generous. However, I was disappointed by the wontons. I found them to be small, tough and lacking any flavor compared to the beef. This is a casual spot, and like I mentioned in the beginning, a "No frills" spot with quick service. It's a perfect place when you're craving a hearty bowl of noodles without the fancy extras. Just stick to the beef and skip the wontons. I also had the beef chow fun which was really delicious, and the "wok hei" was evident in the taste and texture. Fun Note: The interior walls of the restaurant is plastered with all types and denominations of paper currency from all parts of the world. read more

Perhaps one of the most endearing dishes in Chinese cuisine is wonton soup. It's well known and loved by many, and there have been many variations depending on where in Asia one goes.  Located on Mulberry Street in NYC's Chinatown, HK Wonton Garden is one of those places to eat authentic Cantonese food where I came for lunch today.  With a very plain exterior front, I was greeted by the staff upon entering at an old-school vibe with different monetary currencies taped to the walls. As a repeat patron, I easily got a table by the kitchen. Some of the staff still wore the Hawaiian shirts and served up some tasty offerings.  The menu is extensive for wonton and noodles, both with soup or dry, among other dishes. I decided on the wonton with noodle soup and sui mai. These were average pieces of pork and shrimp encased in this lovely wrap.  For many years, this has been my favorite comfort food: a well-made bowl of hearty, authentic Hong Kong-style wonton noodles with the right taste and textural profile and using the correct condiments to create the desirable final end results. In Cantonese, 'wonton' roughly translates to 'clouds' as the wontons look like clouds floating in the soup and use thin wrap. Most dumplings are usually served with a thicker wrap. The meal began with a hot cup of tea. The food came out quick and hot. The flavor was unique and consistent, and the prices were fair as compared to other places. The portions were just right, and the staff efficient. I continue to recommend this place. read more

A different type of wonton noodle soup than usual for me. Hk wontons are bigger with thicker skin but i prefer the more cantonese style with thin skin. The skin here felt undercooked or too thick for my preference. The noodles were also thicker rice noodles instead of egg noodles and I also prefer egg noodles. They have the classic wonton noodle soup as an option too and that looked yummy. Glad I tried HK style but wouldn't get again. read more

The shrimp fried rice here is amazing!!!!! We ordered the shrimp fried rice, beef and broccoli, and Beijing noodles with chicken, everything was delicious!!!! Wait time for food is usually 10-15 mins and made fresh once ordered. Also not expensive. The seating can be very limited because the restaurant isn't too big but they do offer a lot of food options on their menu and seems like Duck is their specialty. I'm from California and eat a lot of Chinese food out here but the fried rice from this location is one of those dishes you just can't forget about because how delicious it is! If you're looking for good Chinese food, try this place. read more

4.5 stars Wonton and beef tendon noodle soup hit the mark on all fronts. Chewy noodles, full tasty wonton, soft beef tendon, and a good soup. Only thing is I wish there were a more noodles; unbalanced and ran out too fast. I tried to get an extra order of just noodles (no soup) and they tried to charge me like 5 or 7 bucks (1/2 to 3/4 the price of the whole dish!), but after expressing some surprise I was able to get it added as "extra noodles" for like 3 bucks. So pro tip, just order extra noodles from the start if that's your thing. (Not sure why all the fuss anyways) read more

I enjoyed my lunch at HK! There are many restaurants in China town so I did some research in advance and read reviews and decided to go here. And I'm glad I did because they were as good as I expected. The place isn't big, and definitely not somewhere you stay for a while. I was under the impression that people just eat and leave. It was Sunday afternoon but luckily I was seated right away. I ordered fish ball and wonton noodle. I got my order in about 5 minutes. I can confidently say those were the best wontons I ever had! So juicy and flavorful. The broth was very light, but that added a good balance with the wonton. When I got my check, the price shown there was different than what the menu book says. I asked, and my server told me the check includes tax and tips. I thought that was interesting how they do it, but I still found it reasonable so I paid that exact amount and left. Highly recommended read more

Considering I am a Chinatown business owner, I really do not want to do this but... I never got my water, my to go order was supposed to be cooked at the end of my meal but it was cooked along with my dine-in meal so got soggy, and my 15% tip got questioned. Food 2/5 Macaroni and ham If you ever had the macaroni soup in Hong Kong, you will know this is below average. No flavor in the soup except MSG. The ham is the saving grace because it is not SPAM? Wonton Noodles The wonton actually has some shrimp in it, like 30% shrimp and 70% pork but the meat is not fresh, it tastes sour Even if you pay cash, they charge you tax, so my total is $16.90 plus 15% tip Even places that are cleaner, tastier, and have even better service do NOT charge tax if you pay cash read more

Stopped by here for lunch while exploring Chinatown and our experience was definitely mixed! Service was fast and friendly. Prices are incredible - $55 for lunch for three in NYC. Food was hit or miss! Was looking forward to some Dim Sum but they were too large and the wraps were too thick. Same to be said for the spring roles - arrived piping hot but wrap was thick and doughy in middle! Ma Po tofu was however excellent. My daughter liked her sweet and sour chicken and my husband's noodles were just okay ! Good enough and a bargain price! Todu was the standout !! read more

Tiny restaurant in Chinatown off mulberry street. No frill, old decor w money on the walls. What you would expect from china town. I was craving wonton soup but the pork wonton soup that I usually get at a Chinese restaurant. I'm not a fan of the dumpling shrimp and pork combo that look more like what's pictured, so I didn't love the soup. The thin noodles also were a little tough. The broth was good but I added chili oil and vinegar. Service is your typical China town style. If you know then you know lol read more

I seriously grabbed my napkin in a flash, and grabbed it with napkin to kill it...midway through our meal. I could have shown the staff but I didn't mention it and we picked up the $90 bill (gratuity included). While the place was busy, this was not my cup of tea (or favorite type of Chinese)! I won't be back although they were really nice. Sorry read more

A quick local noodle place in the Chinatown area. They have a diverse menu of great Cantonese noodle options. I was delighted to see beef tendon on the menu - not every restaurant offers that individually as a topping on your noodle. The wonton were decent. This is somewhere to go for a late night warming comforting bowl of noodles. Don't expect top tier service here - it's an authentic local Chinatown experience. Note, we were underwhelmed by the big wonton, but other than that, it was a good meal. TIP: Cantonese lo mein is usually wonton noodles cooked and stirred dry with some sauce. Don't expect your normal american Chinese lo mein if you choose to order that. read more

We were rushing in right before closing time. Food was prepared very quickly without compromising the taste. The seafood and meat topping were quite generous. Everyone in my group was saying the beef tendon was really really good. I wasn't a fan of beef tendon so can't say much about it. Service was good, quick and friendly. We appreciate they still taking our orders despite it's very near to their closing time. As for ambiance, well it's a pretty small establishment and no vacant tables, turnover of the tables are super quick so don't expect a squeaky clean everything but it's at an acceptable level of clean read more

Super rude staff . I have been going there for six years and I will never go back.. the last couple years they started adding an automatic tip in the check and it's written in Chinese so you don't know what it says. The other day I left a tip and it was 40 cents short of being 15% and they were demanding that I ad an additional 40 cents to the bill before I left . I will never go back. Horrible people. read more

After years of coming here, the food never disappoints. The indoor decor has quite a nostalgic vibe and they have a very cute wall filled with foreign currencies signed by their various customers. Beef Tendons with Noodles: The beef tendons were chewy in just the right way and very tasty. The noodles were a perfect texture as well, not too firm but not too soft. There was also a surplus amount of sauce, which is always appreciated. The choy sum tasted fresh and crisp as expected. The portions were large and filling. Great food and quick service, no unnecessary frills involved. I usually try to make a point of stopping by every once in a while if I'm in the area. read more

My partner and I were on a quest to find some saucy, crispy HK noodles for a low price. HK Wonton Garden did NOT disappoint. The sauce was salty and flavorful. The veggies like bok choy were perfectly tender. The noodles were just crispy enough. We also had their congee which was yummy and creamy. They do take card also. I will say I think the table near us had a big at their table and the owner started hitting it which was just like quintessential new york things. I'm just glad this was when I was leaving. read more

Excellent Cantonese restaurant. Another review mentioned a "no frills" type of restaurant, 100% spot on. Not a single word was uttered to us by the server/cook but food was amazing. It reminds me of Oakland, CA Chinatown. There was even a local that came in and yelled hello to the cook and helped himself to drinks in the fridge, love it. Since moving from the Bay Area, I have been on the hunt for a solid bowl of wonton noodles. Turns out I have to travel to NYC to get that again. Wontons were giant and the wrapper was silky soft. Broth was salty (perfect for a pouring rain kind of day after a long night out). 10/10 recommend and would be back next time we visit NYC. read more

Casual Chinese food place, the noodle soup was a little bland, but they had plenty of sauces to add, I especially liked the szechuan spicy oil. The wontons in the soup were huge, juicy, and super succulent-- the noodles and broth a bit forgettable. My food was okay, but I could see and smell that there was much more to try! I will have to go back and taste more :) For what it is, 4 stars. read more

Two of my favorite place in Chinatown, NY. (another one is Wonton Noodle Garden). They have excellent wonton noodle soup. I usually get it with beef stew. Beef is so tasty and soft, and it melts in your mouth. Wonton is fantastic too. I typically get in the soup and an order of wontons on a plate. Even wontons are the same; they taste so different in how they prepare them. Noodles are thin. I recommend anyone going to Chinatown to try this place. The food price is excellent, you can bring many people, and it will not break the bank. read more

This place is amazing! Seriously! I can't believe the cheap prices here; I'm talking about $6.5 wonton noodle soups, unheard of in this inflation! Plus, it tastes great. Another example, they charge $9.5 for yangchow fried rice, which is typically atleast $15 at most other chinatown restaurants. Service is a little slow; that's fine with me since I was not in a rush, but do keep in mind if visiting. This place already seems quite popular among chinatown locals as all tables except for one were filled. read more
