    Sausage claypot rice, Beef chow fun, rice rolls

    Returned for takeout and dine-in. Lunch specials are available all day, generous portions. The bittermelon was cooked just right in Beef with bittermelon. The chicken with peanuts said spicy but I would've preferred a bit more heat. Chicken congee has small chicken pcs with bones, could be more tender. We liked that the dishes here are not salty. Not enough room for wheelchair - small ramped entrance but space inside is tight between tables. Fast and efficient service. Addtl. charge for Credit card payments.

    I am happy to know that this great restaurant has made a strong come back. I have not been eating from this kitchen for about 2 yrs, since they were on the decline with a grade pending form the NYC department of health rating. I actually been eating next door at cafe 1480, which i love very much. However, today we came in looking for lunch and knowing that they have A-grade from NYC dept of health only made the experience ghat much better. We ordered : Steam shrimp roll Sea bass and tofu with broccoli and rice / lunch special Congee / rice porridge with 1000 yr old egg Pan fried noodles with shrimp All the food was delicious, tasty and plentiful. I have to admit this place a great bang for the buck and i love to support local businesses. The waitress was very helpful and friendly, food came to the table very quick as we sat down at 2:15pm for late lunch. Cant wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

    Beef tripe lo mein
    Cecilia T.

    Came here on a Saturday around 10:30 am, got seated right away- the restaurant was smaller than expected with only about 8 tables, 1 worker at the time and it was very dirty. The menu consisted of all the staples of congee, rice noodles, rice dishes as well as a variety of dim sum. We got the beef stew lo mein, shrimp & pork wontons with bone broth, parsley beef rice roll and steamed shrimp dumplings. Received beef tripe instead of beef stew, which was quite disappointing & the soup that came with it was bland. The wontons were decent & bone broth was pretty good. Shrimp dumplings were OK & the beef rice roll was the last to come out (I even had to ask about it bc I thought they forgot)- atleast that was my fave out of everything. FYI, probably short staffed or made to order so the food took forever to come out- expect to wait awhile. Not returning again.

    TLDR: Looking for a solid HK style spot, Sweet Wonton is a good choice. Definitely get the house special rice noodle stir-fry, personally I like switching it to the thinner rice noodles. Tasty wonton/dumplings too! Little Neck has pretty solid Cantonese food now, Sweet Wonton on Northern is a popular spot for good reason. Stick to the staples but the wonton soup in the bone broth is tasty. It's got that rich almost tonkotsu like creaminess but with the shrimpy flavor that you come to expect from a HK wonton or dumpling soup. The house special sesame stir-fried rice noodles is so good. Salted fish, dried squid, chives - ask to switch to the thinner rice noodles which I think tastes better. The textures are good, lots of flavor and tremendous wok-hei.

    Sweet Wonton House - Little Neck, NY Tiny space, gigantic flavor. Sweet Wonton House may be small in size, but it delivers big, authentic Cantonese taste. We ordered a spread that hit every note--silky congee, tender chicken in soy sauce, and a dim sum lineup of bean curd wraps, shomai, and turnip cake. The fried noodles with dried squid were a standout--savory, chewy, and packed with umami. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious, and our server was incredibly kind and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Every dish tasted fresh, balanced, and true to tradition. If you're craving authentic Chinese comfort food without trekking into Flushing, this spot is a must. --- Boomsauce Scale (Google Review Edition) - B - Basura Total flop. Poor quality, bad service, and not worth the trip. - BS - Basic Sauce Meh. It's okay, but nothing memorable. You expected more. - BS+ - Better Sauce Solid spot. Good food, decent service, worth checking out. - BS++ - Best Sauce Great flavors, friendly staff, and consistent quality. Would recommended BS+++ - Boomsauce Elite Unforgettable. Authentic, delicious, and totally worth the hype. Boomsauce Score: BS+++ - Boomsauce Elite Sweet Wonton House is proof that the best flavors often come from the smallest kitchens.

    A great Hong Kong style restaurant serving all the staples of congee, rice noodles, rice dishes, and a variety dim sum. Affordable, everything made with fresh ingredients due to their high turnover and constant barrage of diners and takeout. Their congee is standout.

    golden fried rice
    Paula L.

    Super cute, friendly spot. The food is so good. We got the shrimp & pork wonton soup in bone broth with wide rice noodles. Those wontons are amazing. We got their golden fried rice which is yummy. we also got the shrimp rice rolls, and shrimp in lobster sauce. We loved it all. I will definitely be back to try some more items off their menu.

    It is a very small HK cafe style restaurant on Northern Blvd Little Neck, but the food and services are good. The wonton noodle soup was very tasty. Every wonton had a big shrimp inside. The shrimp rice noodle was fresh made and again the shrimp was big. The food portion was reasonable. However, they only offered limited selection of drinks (can sodas). Overall it was good.

    First time back in quite some time and definitely better than my previous visit. Business has picked up here and all portions are decent in size, fresh and hot. I wouldn't say it is the best Cantonese eat however it definitely surpassed my expectation. The cashier is quite courteous and he was quick with service.

If you don't see what you're looking for in the case, just ask because they are constantly baking and steaming for the demand.

For one, I think they strategically set up shops in areas far out in Queens that are not easily accessible or overrun by the masses--this can easily bring down a business' quality. We ordered a variety of things to try, including their range of char siu baos, like the pineapple bun, the snow crust, and the regular baked bun. Definitely a step up above what Mei Lai Wah is now, with the chunky cuts of meat, but way too sweet, even with the regular version. Highly suggest just sticking with the regular unless you're really curious about the pineapple or snow crust, which really just adds a layer of sugar. My mom spotted their sachima and quickly snatched one up. They sell a small selection of Southern Chinese and Hong Kong baked goods and pastries, but don't expect the variety of a Chinese bakery. Prices are a bit steep, and I don't know if it varies by location since this location is in a higher-cost area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here if I'm craving a good char siu bao - most Chinese bakeries do them well, just a matter of finding them. Most people who came in when we were there seem to buy them in boxes so either they're a hit at parties/events or some households really love them.

We tried beef rice rolls, shrimp rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, roast pork buns (including the pineapple version), sesame mochi custard buns, molten custard buns, sticky rice, short ribs, cruller rice rolls, malay sponge cake rolls, coconut jell-o. + ALL of the dim sum was fresh and the quality was excellllent. Didn't have a single gripe about any of it. + Shredded Chicken Pan Fried Noodle - EXCELLLLENT. Noodles were extraaaaa crispy and the sauce didn't overwhelm the noodle. Only complaint was that the sauce was a littttttle saltier than needed. THE SERVICE ------------------- + They have the old school cart ladies driving around with dim sum in them, which I am ALWAYS for. It doesn't feel like the full dim sum experience without them. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with LOTs of tables. + Private parking lot was a MAJOR plus in NYC as it's such a rarity for restaurants here. The lot was tight, but had a good number of spots. Gets full on weekends, however turnover is quick. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- + Dropped in with my family and a group of friends at 12:15 PM and, surprisingly, didn't have to wait long for a table for 10 people. If we had 2-4 people only, we would not have waited more than 5 minutes!

The BBQ duck was especially disappointing -- it tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave.

The congee itself was good, though the dried squid was so tough it felt like chewing on rubber. The steamed rice rolls with peanut sauce were another letdown; instead of being freshly steamed, the noodles seemed microwaved, making them firm and dry rather than soft and chewy. I also ordered a fish and tofu dish covered in brown sauce, but it was completely bland.
