Sweet Wonton House – Little Neck, NY
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tiny space, gigantic flavor. Sweet Wonton House may be small in size, but it delivers big, authentic Cantonese taste. We ordered a spread that hit every note—silky congee, tender chicken in soy sauce, and a dim sum lineup of bean curd wraps, shomai, and turnip cake. The fried noodles with dried squid were a standout—savory, chewy, and packed with umami.
The vibe is cozy and unpretentious, and our server was incredibly kind and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Every dish tasted fresh, balanced, and true to tradition.
If you’re craving authentic Chinese comfort food without trekking into Flushing, this spot is a must.

Me and my wife’s first time trying this place out after driving passed them constantly. First of all, the service? Lightning fast, second of all the portions gigantic, and to finish, it was cheap. Incredible flavor, cheap prices, great service 10/10

TLDR: Looking for a solid HK style spot, Sweet Wonton is a good choice. Definitely get the house special rice noodle stir-fry, personally I like switching it to the thinner rice noodles. Tasty wonton/dumplings too!
Little Neck has pretty solid Cantonese food now, Sweet Wonton on Northern is a popular spot for good reason. Stick to the staples but the wonton soup in the bone broth is tasty. It’s got that rich almost tonkotsu like creaminess but with the shrimpy flavor that you come to expect from a HK wonton or dumpling soup.
The house special sesame stir-fried rice noodles is so good. Salted fish, dried squid, chives – ask to switch to the thinner rice noodles which I think tastes better. The textures are good, lots of flavor and tremendous wok-hei.

Looking for a no nonsense Cantonese noodle and rice shop? I went for lunch and ordered the salty chicken and mushroom congee and the wonton & dumpling noodle with the optional bone soup. The congee came out in a clay pot bubbling hot! Pro tip, sprinkle a little white pepper and enjoy some seriously good congee! Next came the wonton & dumpling noodle bone soup. The wontons and dumplings are stuffed with big chunks of shrimp while the noodles were cooked perfectly. The bone soup is really tasty – I drank the entire bowl.
The service is pretty good as well. It’s a small restaurant with approximately 6 tables, 7 if you count the outdoor dining table. The servers speak both Cantonese and Mandarin and they can be loud so be prepared. Decor is basic.

This restaurant is really a hit or miss – mainly miss. Of all the dishes I ordered, I only liked 2. The wontons weren’t anything special to rave about, but the broth in the wonton was delicious. Very flavorful. The broth in the roast pork ramen, which isn’t ramen by the way, was sweet due to the roast pork. The roast pork itself was flavorful and tender. The HK style Chinese sausage clay pot rice was lacking in the overcooked, crunchy texture of the bottom of the clay pot that most people order this dish for. The sausage was overcooked as well and did not taste well. I ordered a stir fried dried squid dish, but what I got was stir fried fish. Although it tasted somewhat all right, it was not the dish I initially ordered. I did end up ordering my stir fried squid dish for dinner later on, but it was bland. The fried cruller and rice rolls were nothing to rave about if you’ve eaten dim sum in these Chinese parlors. They’re all the same. Although I did not take photos of the dishes I ordered for dinner, the roast pork lo mein was not lo mein. The prawn with walnut and salad cream was also bland like the stir fried squid. The salad cream didn’t save the prawn from lack of flavor. The mushroom with mixed vegetable casserole was just a sloppy wetness of a casserole. Overall, the food just lacked flavor and I would only revisit as a last resort, but it should not have to be my last resort considering the location of this restaurant and other restaurants to eat at in the area.

Standard Cantonese fare. The noodle soups are pretty basic+. We got a beef stew noodle soup and wonton noodle soup. They give a generic broth and depending on what noodle soup, they’ll either add beef or wontons with the thin egg noodles. So if you’re ordering beef stew noodle soup, don’t expect a beefy five spice braising broth, but a generic thin light broth instead. Still, I feel like this place has the better wonton than other places around the area.
The special fried rice was the one with baby shrimp, golden raisins and shredded dried fish. Good shrimpy and seafood flavors if you’re into that, but stick with a young chow if you’re not. A bit salty from the ingredients but not bad. Overall, decent Chinatown style food, but at Long Island prices.
Update: much better dined in. Pork chops w/ onions was delicious. Green beans were good and the golden fried rice was much better fresh out of the kitchen. We also got the wontons in bone broth which was also above par. Just note, they prefer cash as they have a service charge for credit cards.

This is a HK Cafe style quick fire dining experience and not meant to be a long dragged out meal. Menu items include congee, soup dumplings, noodle soups, dim sum, and Cafe style appetizers. While many reviews said their food was undercooked, I did not have that issue with my food. Everything was cooked as expected and the food was good. My only complaint is the service was so so. Seems tables turned around quickly. I didn’t feel rushed given the amount of food I ordered but it was unbearably hot in there. So I couldn’t sit for long anyway. Small dining area, they maxed out the table placement and it’s a little tight because of layout. Prices are a little more than Flushing, no surprise given it’s this neck of the woods. Street parking only.

Wonton Soup is a rich broth made by boiling meat bones here, the broth is made using pork or chicken broth.
Wonton noodles are a type of dumpling noodle that is eaten with noodles and boiled dumplings. If you boil only boiled dumplings without noodles, it is simply called wonton.
The dumplings are made by mixing minced shrimp meat, pork, and vegetables and putting them in a wheat flour dough. The dumplings were soft and had a good texture.
Wonton is a food that spread from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is known to have originally originated in Guangdong Province in southern China.
Of course, similar foods with different names originated in the north before that, but wonton using shrimp must have been more widely enjoyed in areas close to the sea.
It was nice to be able to come across very delicious wontons at a low price.

Its a small restaurant, we got here before 11am with my parents and got a table pretty quick. We ordered few dim sums to share (see pics), my parents got congee and i got wonton noodles soup. The dimsum was extremely delicious. My parents love the congee and the wonton noodles was good. My advice is to come before 11am on the weekends. If not you be waiting for a table for at least 15-20 mins.

Order everything else but the below. Foods was so so. Congee was a little watered down. Rice casserole is personal size and not worth the price. Beef chow fun was not mixed thoroughly, blocks of white broad noodles still. Noodle with fried dough (Ja leurng) was good when it first came out, but the fried dough got hard and stale after. That might mean they microwaved it to warm it up. If you’ve microwaved any variety of bread before you’ll know how this is. This was lunch at 3pm. Rice casserole and congee is literally 6 inch pot for the price of expected bigger pot or at least enough for 2, only good for 1 person portion, able to finish. Maybe at an earlier time the congee might not have been watered down or fried dough may be fresher. Place is also very tight, kept getting bumped. Thought they would have redesigned spacing with the tables and arrangement by now. They went more down hill since the last time we visited about 9 months ago.
