Chinatown Wonton Noodles With a Six-Hour XO Sauce Kick
Slurp Chinatown wonton noodles on quiet Pell Street, with housemade chili oil and a six-hour XO sauce.
🥟 Shrimp and Pork Wontons
Chinatown wonton noodles get a calmer setting on Pell Street. Wonton Noodle Garden is linked to the Mei Lai Wah bakery on Mott Street, and while the line there runs down the block for roast pork pineapple buns, this dining room stays clean, spacious, and easy to sit down in.
The order starts with fresh shrimp and pork wontons and springy noodles, then widens to dumplings and fried rice. Two condiments do the heavy lifting, a housemade chili oil and the signature six-hour XO sauce, and a spoonful of either changes the whole bowl. The bill carries an automatic 18 percent gratuity, worth knowing before you split the check.
Doors open at half past ten in the morning every day, with service until 9 PM Monday through Thursday and until 10 PM Friday through Sunday. Inexpensive plates and an unhurried room make it an easy Chinatown lunch with friends or an early dinner before Pell Street fills in.
