    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.

    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. --- Boomsauce Scale (Google Review Edition) - B – Basura Total flop. Poor quality, bad service, and not worth the trip. - BS – Basic Sauce Meh. It’s okay, but nothing memorable. You expected more. - BS+ – Better Sauce Solid spot. Good food, decent service, worth checking out. - BS++ – Best Sauce Great flavors, friendly staff, and consistent quality. Would recommend. - BS+++ – Boomsauce Elite Unforgettable. Authentic, delicious, and totally worth the hype. Boomsauce Score: BS+++ – Boomsauce Elite Sweet Wonton House is proof that the best flavors often come from the smallest kitchens.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
