I'm no expert on wonton noodle soup, and I can't say how this place compares to others in the area. I can say that, in absolute terms, it’s pretty yummy. We came here on Sunday around 12:30 for lunch and there were plenty of seats. We got a two-person set (set C, I think) for $160 that came with:Two bowls of beef brisket noodle soup: The beef is tender, nicely marinated, and very fatty.

Two bowls of beef brisket noodle soup: The beef is tender, nicely marinated, and very fatty. The noodles are plentiful and firm; I think they were much better texture-wise than similar wonton noodles I’d had in the past. The broth was rich and very meaty, deep brown in color, a little bit greasy, and salty as well. On the table was a thick sauce/ paste that was very spicy, and really livened up the soup. A
One bowl shrimp wonton soup: The wonton soup didn’t contain any noodles, just shrimp wontons, green onions, and broth. The shrimp wontons were not particularly remarkable, but definitely serviceable. The broth in this soup was, in my opinion, the most flavorful of the broths we were served, though I can’t recall what made it so. A-
One bowl pork & shrimp wonton soup. These wontons were exciting—they had big pieces of marinated pork and shrimp in them, and were pretty tender and yummy. The broth of this soup was disappointing though. B
The set also came with a crunchy, bitter Chinese green (Chinese broccoli? choi of some sort) and some oyster sauce for dipping. I focused on the soup more because it was more exciting. B
Overall, I’d give the place an A. The people seemed real friendly, and the guy filling up the tea was very attentive.
