Won Ton Noodles are pretty much a staple when it comes to Chinese comfort food. There are tons of won ton noodle joints around the city, but only one withstands the test of time. That is
Hon's Wun Tun House in Chinatown. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and after all the years the prices haven't increased that much and the taste remains the same. They're only open M-F during the day, and that's it. Expect to either wait in line or sit at a table with a stranger. This is by far the best I've had in the states, and the only place that is better is what I had in
Hong Kong. To optimize my eating experience at Hon's, I order beef stew with rice noodles (ngau nam ho fun) and a side of just won tons in soup without the noodles. That is perfect. Now the portions aren't big here at all, and they've stayed the same over the years. Soup is delicious, and so are the won tons. It's all good here and you can't go wrong with what you order.
Beef Stew w. Flat/Wide Rice Noodles
nice and hearty. it's good for when it's cold and raining outside. it'll warm you up real fast. i also prefer the rice noodles over the thin egg noodles. why? not sure, just a preference i've had since i was a kid
Just Won Tons in Soup
yummy and delicious bite size morsels. i like the won tons from here because they don't stuff the wrapper with pork or shrimp. it's a good balance.
