Won Ton Gourmet - Des Plaines

Definitely not my first time here, but first review and well-deserved 5-stars! Customer service has gotten better throughout the years. Their Shrimp Wontons, Barbeque Pork Noodle Soup (pictures here), and Singapore Noodles are always a go-to. Not pictured here but another go-to are their HUGE Potstickers. So glad to see this establishment continuing to do well despite the pandemic.

Been here 4 times, and love it each time! This place reminds me so much of the Hawker stalls in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. This place gives me the hometown vibe that I missed so much! The food here is good, service is okay rushing and quick! Wonton Gourmet is one of my weekly dining spots! Highly recommend it if you're looking for good Cantonese noodle soups, and have other menu offers as well.

Fast service and very big portions per order. I wasn't disappointed. Their volcano shrimp

It's been well almost a decade since my last visit ! Well worth trying ! It was extremely busy for a Sunday evening early dinner time (4-6ish). Extensive menu but would highly recommend and suggest trying their signature dishes listed on their glass wall inside. I really enjoy their BBQ pork dishes ESPECIALLY their CHOW FUN. Their noodles are very similar to Lad Nar in the sense they are crispy and soft all at the same time! (Hard and then soft when dipped in sauce) VERY tasty and unique ! Service was attentive as well. Solid and strong B+. It's extremely hole in the wall and only by word- of -mouth!

Wonton Gourmet is a hidden gem in the suburbs, it's the closest to ChinaTown restaurants in the suburbs as you'll find. For reference this restaurant is about a 40 min drive from home, which is closer than ChinaTown, but we typically wouldn't drive this far for a restaurant regularly unless it's really good. We try to go at least once a month to either dine in or take-out. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, but not specifically modern or updated, but it works. The servers are attentive and fast. The food is prepared and comes out quickly as well. In my opinion, if you're familiar with or aware of the general customer service and style of service you'd get at most restaurants at ChinaTown, Wonton Gourmet is a hybrid, better service, more attentive than what you'd expect. It adjusts well for suburbans that might be more accustom to more typical chain restaurants in the suburbs. The food is great, full flavored and always prepared quickly and served immediately when ready. They bring out dishes when ready, they don't wait to bring everything out at one time generally. We always order Kung pao chicken and really like their chow fun and noodle soups, which is what they're know for. We'd recommend Wonton Gourmet for sure to anyone looking for recommendations for good food locally.
