I don't recall if I've been here before but the interior of this brings me out of the old Chinatown, and into HK. The place looks really clean and polished. For a Friday afternoon, it wasn't too crowded and we were seated right away. We started with curry fish balls, soup dumplings, and mantou with condensed milk. My son loved the plain white buns but he also loves everything "bread". The curry fish balls were decent - wish it had a bit more of a kick. Soup dumplings are average - but you don't come to a place called wonton noodle and expect excellent soup dumplings. We come here for the beef brisket, wonton noodle soup! And that was the bomb diggity. Nice and warm with large wontons, and tons of beef brisket. Soup was so refreshing. This hit the spot. read more

Ordered online and had a really disappointing experience with a to-go order. I added an egg drop soup that was listed online for around $3. When I arrived, they refused to give me my order and insisted the soup was actually supposed to be around $12. They demanded that I show them where I found the $3 price and would not release my order until I did. What made this especially frustrating was that I was sick at the time and had completely lost my voice, so communicating was already difficult. Despite that, they continued to argue instead of offering a simple solution, like removing the soup from the order or honoring the price. They were also speaking in Cantonese in front of me about me, and I understood what they were saying, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. Eventually, after going back and forth, they did let me keep my original order. The food itself was fine. However, the customer service around this pickup completely overshadowed the food. A simple pricing issue turned into an unnecessarily stressful experience. Unfortunately, this makes me hesitant to order again. read more

Stopped by in the middle of the week for a quick lunch. Got there early and was seated right away. Had the Dumpling & Wonton Ho Fun in Soup which was very good - flavorful with a fair amount of noodles. Service was efficient. Felt a little rushed as they assigned my table to new guests even before I I had finished. The new guests then proceeded to hover around me until I finished. read more

It's an okay noodle place in Chinatown; it replaced what used to be Wonton Garden (since they moved to Mei Lai Wah Wonton Noodle). It's a new restaurant compared to what was there before, with modern decorations. We had shu-mai, wonton noodle soup, and stir-fried noodles. The stir-fried noodles were good. I did not care much for their shu-mai and noodle soup. The price was good, and the service was okay. If I have another craving for noodles, I will probably go to another noodle place instead of here. read more

Great place to go for wonton and dumpling noodle soups. The atmosphere is new and clean with pretty decor. They have very nice booth seatings. If it's not crowded, you get to sit in the comfortable booth seats and also don't have to share the big table. They have combo meats such as duck or beef brisket with wonton or dumpling in the noodles with soup. For meats, they have roast duck, roast pork and fishballs, but no soy sauce chicken. Their wontons are pretty good with shrimp and pork inside. I like their dumplings much better though. It also has shrimp and pork inside. I got that with beef brisket and ho fun, the wide rice noodles, instead of the yellow stringy noodles. Very filling and less than $15. Just the dumpling noodle soup is about $11. Same with just the wonton noodle soup. Good place to dine-in for some dumpling or wonton noodle soups. read more

I used to love coming here (maybe 10 years ago) but ever since the renovation it hasn't been the same. The food is pretty average now which is such a letdown compared to what it used to be. On top of that, the place didn't feel very clean for it being newly renovated. This spot was kind of the OG but with so many other options around now, it's hard to want to come back. Note there's an auto 18% tip added to your bill. I'm indifferent to this but thought it should be mentioned. read more

I've always loved wonton noodle soup with beef brisket (五香牛腩), but I hadn't found a favorite UNTIL I tried this place. The beef brisket here is SUPERIOR, dare I say, even better than the other spots on the same street. I was hesitant at first because of some negative reviews online, but the dishes we ordered were very delicious. Honestly, I never trust ratings on Chinese restaurants. The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a decent bathroom (always a plus). It was packed when I went on a Friday, with a good mix of Chinese locals and tourists. ＊Spiced Beef Brisket 五香牛腩 $11.95 ** Both the lean brisket and tendon were very tender and full of five spiced flavor. We didn't waste a drop of the sauce, scooping up every last bit and drizzling it over our fried rice. I only wish they offered the beef tendon on its own. The jelly-like texture had me hooked. ＊Wonton Soup 淨雲吞湯 $8.95 The pork and shrimp filling had a nice bounce, wrapped in a thin wonton skin. The wontons were on the smaller side. While wonton soup is their signature dish, I found the wontons tasty but they didn't wow me. I still prefer the ones from Maxi's and Superior in Brooklyn. ＊Singapore Chow Mei Fun 星洲炒米 $14.95 * ＊Shrimp Fried Rice 蝦炒飯 $15.95 A HK cafe classic -- stir-fried vermicelli noodle tossed in curry powder, shrimps, char siu, and bean sprouts. The fried rice was flavorful and full of wok hei. Safe to say, you can't go wrong with their 炒粉麵飯 (stir-fried noodles and rice dishes). Portions were generous that we had plenty of leftovers to take home. read more

Although I would have preferred to have dined at the newly opened sleek-looking restaurant on Mott Street, we ordered delivery via UberEats out of convenience on a Saturday night. Our order consisted of the fish ball and wonton noodle soup, beef brisket ho fun noodle soup, Xiamen mei fun, and the choy sum with oyster sauce. In short, everything was delicious--except for the beef brisket dish. The wontons were excellent--large and packed with shrimp and pork. I regret getting the combo of fish balls and wontons given that the fish balls were forgettable while wontons, as I should have expected, were the highlight. The noodles and broth were also well-executed. Unfortunately, the beef brisket was 98% tendon. Some were tough and even difficult for someone like me raised with offals to gnaw on. There was almost no tender lean meat. The ho fun was also thin and overcooked. This dish was a miss. At least the broth was good and not too oily. The Xiamen mei fun was scrumptious with roast pork, shrimp, and scrambled eggs. It was a tad soft and overcooked but at least not too greasy. The choy sum vegetables provided some balance and were solid with a not-too-salty and not-too-oily oyster sauce. The stalks were crunchy with tender leaves. If we were to return, we would definitely focus on getting a full serving of the wonton noodle soup! read more

Wonton Noodle 1978 - wonton noodle soup - Noodles Near Me - New York, New York

came with my parents on a busy lunchtime Sunday .. We got the Wonton Noodle, Dumpling Ho Fun, Chicken Mai Fun, kung pao chicken. This location has been a long time wonton spot for 40+ years. Unfortunately there is heavy competition for wontons on the block and in chinatown. I thought the wonton noodle was average at best, size is medium, broth wasn't boiling hot. The dumplings were not good (doughy). Actually the hot dishes (chicken mai fun and kung pao chicken) was above average. A positive is that they use real dishes, unlike Maxi down the block. Responsive staff, portion size is fair, good A/C Tip was added to our bill automatically despite being just 3 people in our party. read more

This recently opened place on Mott Street has a clean, modern interior with some traditional touches. It looks rather sleek compared to your average Chinatown restaurant, and at first I was a bit worried that this would translate in higher prices, but that's not the case. There are several booth and a communal table, plus wooden stools around the bar area. Their Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ($13) was the highlight of my visit. The wontons were great, with a satisfying crunch from perfectly cooked shrimp, wrapped in thin, delicate skins. The broth was clear and flavorful, and the soup came with a few pieces of choy sum, which added a nice touch of freshness. This was a very good dish. We also tried their Soup Dumplings ($10), which were ok, nothing special. They were easy on the soup, and one actually had none. The House Special Fried Rice ($16) was generously portioned with a good mix of BBQ pork, shrimp, and vegetables. It had a nice, slightly smoky flavor that I particularly appreciated. The Braised Tofu ($14) surprised me - tender tofu with a crispy skin in a savory sauce with broccoli and peppers. It was comforting and well-executed. Service was efficient and friendly, with food arriving promptly. They kept refilling our tea, which is also free. They accept cards with no minimum, which is convenient. Same price cash or credit. read more

This is a new grand opening on Mott Street and it caught my eye when I saw the amount of flowers the restaurant had on its grand opening day. Many flowers outside and inside the place! It was a lot. I want to try their noodles with wonton and roast pork. I ordered them to go and paid with card. Wait time wasn't long and that much. Luckily there was a cushioned bench by the entrance to wait for the food to be ready. When I opened the containers, I thought the noodles and roast pork was very little. They don't give much and enough noodles. Soup was a lot though. It was only 3 choy sum sticks and that was it with a few scallions to decorate the bowl. Roast pork tasted pretty good but I don't think it was filling enough at all. I also ordered wonton noodle soup and wonton was crunchy from the shrimp. Overall, I will come here if I do need a quick bite. read more

I ordered the beef chow fun for takeout, and it was extremely disappointing. The beef was completely tasteless and clearly not marinated at all. For an $18 dish, that is unacceptable. They also used scallions instead of chives, which a proper beef chow fun would have. If zero stars were an option, that is what I would give. What a waste of money. Do yourself a favor and skip this place!!! read more

Wonton Noodle 1978 - Beef Chow Fun - Noodles Near Me - New York, New York

This the 3rd restaurant this year to open on the east side of this stretch of Mott St between Canal and Bayard that offers wonton noodles (after Maxi's and Noodle Village) and the 4th if you include 1915 Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodle in the broader noodle soup category (and so oddly there are now also two noodle restaurants on this block with their 20th century founding dates in the name...) I do unfortunately think Wonton Noodle 1978 has the weakest offering so far out of all these competitors. The food is... fine, but the 9 months or so they've spent renovating the space has yielded an environment that's aesthetically pleasing but not so comfortable for customers. It's not a very big space, but a huge portion of it is taken up by a massive pillar and a big marble table that's unnecessarily wide for a noodle soup joint. This results in cramped aisles and seating, and just generally less space and seating than you could otherwise fit in the space. The wooden stools for seating are also rather uncomfortable to sit on. Still, there were plenty of older Chinese customers dining in, so it looks like they have some momentum, and I wish them success. read more

We've been wanting to come here for a while and finally made it here to meet daughter for lunch. We had the following: Roast Duck Ho Fun In Soup - roast duck was nice and meaty. The ho fun was nice and chewy and the soup was perfect on a cold day. Hubs thought this was the best dish on the table. Singapore Chow Mei Fun- Daughter liked it and said that this was one of her favorites. House Special Chow Mein - there was no chow mein in this. It felt and tasted more like a premade disc of noodles. It wasn't fried or anything. We weren't impressed with this entree. I forgot to take a picture of this. Shumai- Daughter liked it but Hubs didn't care for it. He felt that it tasted frozen. Service was quick and friendly. Will probably return to try other items on the menu. But, I was pretty disappointed with the House Special Chow Mein and will make note not to order that in the future! read more

Guys so listen I am not giving it 5 stars due to the fact that .... First of let's start by saying the wonton noodle soup is good however the 3 stars is because they are pork and shrimp together very good but I'd prefer chicken or not even vegetables also my daughter had a wonton that the pork had a piece of fat and it was really bad she said and looked nasty I like my meat very well I mean very well done and that would've killed me to had tasted that piece in my mouth so I won't go back because of that' but for the people that don't mind the way there meat is cooked it good I say 8/10 but I wouldn't go back and plus the place is really small and they sat me by the bathroom and then what made matters worst my daughter had to charge her phone and the charger outlet was closer to the bathroom I felt so disgusting but yeah guys that is my honest review and no I will not return sorry read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars. Crab Xiao Long Bao (forgot to take picture) had 5 dumplings. But the dumplings look like they were frozen machine-made dumplings you find at your local supermarket. Definitely prefer the crab Xiao long baos at Noodle Village down the block. Wontons were decent but the noodles were not as good as the noodles at Maxi's noodles. The beef brisket had good flavor but only had a couple of small pieces of brisket and a couple of pieces of tendon. The soup was not piping hot. It was luke warm. The tea was also luke warm. The decor was nice but we were seated at a small table by the door and the child seat placed there was oddly in the way blocking half the table. Didn't have a chance to use the restroom since the line was too long. 18% tip is already added to your check. To sum it up: I only liked the wontons and the beef brisket. read more

Beyond pissed. But we'll start with the food... food was alright. I haven't had sesame chicken in ages, so it tasted really good to me. Pan fried buns were super fluffy and the meat was seasoned nicely. Wonton noodle soup was meh. Really nothing to write home about. I like noodle village's way more. Will not be coming back tho because we were short on cash by $2 to do a full 18% tip (generous for the very subpar service) and as we were leaving, the lady (no joke) rushed over to count our bills as fast as she could, blocking the way from letting me leave the booth as she was counting. And she literally would not let us leave, saying we had to pay the 18% tip and forced us to break a $100 bill to get a measly $2 from us. Tip is based on QUALITY OF SERVICE. The change they gave back for breaking the $100 already had tip removed from it, and they did not return our receipt. Like I'm all for tipping 20%+ for good service but their service was pretty bad - they were quite rude/dismissive. And given the whole chase-down situation... that deserves ZERO tip?? What kind of madness. Baffled and outraged. read more

Staple food that's fast and satisfying. Wonton soup is must order. Super juicy! There's a full shrimp in each wonton, and the wonton skin is paper thin. The beef Ho Fun here is super delicious as well. The interior is clean and bright. The shop is lined with cushiony booths. Pricing is great (the wonton soup is only $8.95) with most of the menu items around $10-$15. Recommend for a quick and casual meal. read more

The waitress had the nerve to ask for more of a tip. I will be boycotting this place. read more

We ( hubby and I )stop in for an early lunch. We ordered the wonton noodle and wonton and duck noodle soup.

We are Very disappointed people on social media was raving about how good it is . It's really nothing to write home about.. on top of that they automatically added a 20% service charge to the bill.

This place has become my go-to spot for beef chow fun - generous amt of tender beef, eggs r slightly crispy, noodles are charred, and with the crunchy bean sprouts on top. Just like how it has been done at the spot I went to when I was growing up as a kid in Guangzhou. That's a 9/10. Pan fried bun was 8/10 for me. Wonton soup had generous amount of wontons which all had great meat inside with a whole shrimp. Flavor for wonton is 7.5/10 (vs 8/10 at maxi), but value is 8/10 and higher than maxi. Ambiance is a solid 9/10 for me, bright and cozy. Obvious not like a special event place, but it's on top of my "daily good food" place. read more

I am from Guangzhou, the customer service sucks. When the wonton skin is uncooked they said it's cooked, this is second time I got here, and I also ate wonton from same street but different restaurant. I seem whole wonton skin is yellow, but this is partial yellow and very easy identify because it was on the thickest part of the wonton, I understand people can make mistakes, but I can't accept when they don't admit it.( and you can see some of the pork are pink) （广州长大，在同一条街的另两家吃云吞的地方可以说每周吃两次） 我可以接受没熟帮我再煮一会，但是她直接叫我不要点云吞面了（在后面还议论纷纷），这我忍不了。见过有全黄云吞，但是这种部分黄，甚至打开的时候还有生粉的我第一次见！ 我可以容忍有错，但容忍不了指鹿为马的心黑主管。（估计是放急冻，没解冻直接放进去，之后有冰的地方没熟） read more

Mott St between Canal and Bayard suddenly has fierce wonton noodle competition. "Wonton Noodle" is the newest to join the fray located at the old Wonton Noodle Garden location. A standard wonton and noodles costs $10 plus tax (no cash discount). Ordered to go; Service was friendly but the wontons were "ok". One had a fruit fly on it. Overall it was just "ok". Wish them success but it's not in my top 5 wontons in NYC. read more

This place is clearly a cash grab tourist trap, beckoning you to enter with their renovations and decor... and then you taste their food. Wonton noodle is literally in the name of the restaurant, so you would expect that at least they would excel in that singular dish. I should say that it was not the worst thing that we ate there, but that doesn't say much. The noodles were soggy, the wontons mediocre. I also had dumplings in my noodle soup, which were clearly the frozen store bought kind-- and the crappy ones at that. The soup dumplings were somehow even more atrocious with thick doughy skin that breaks immediately because the bottom has already melted to the plate, leaving you no soup at all. The cherry on top was that tip was preincluded in the bill, which is quite suspicious, as it was not aforementioned by anyone. When they return your change, they take away the receipt, so those who missed it may mistakenly double tip. Mind you, the staff were kind and we would have tipped decently regardless-- but their shady business tactics did not sit well with us. You are much better off dining at noodle village or maxi's down the block for a better bowl of noodle soup. Or anywhere else, really. read more

Another miss unfortunately. The big fault here is the name because the wonton noodle might be the least tasty thing on the menu.
