Wonton Garden

What better way is there to usher in the new year than eating and writing about it. Hello 2010!

I simply cannot stop eating asian food these days. New Wonton Garden is an awesome spot at 56 Mott St between Canal and Bayard. I want to say that the service is terrible, but it’s not, it’s more like the servers are just rude. Either way, I’ve never had a bad experience there, I don’t take it personally, but I can see how someone would be offended by the general attitude of the servers. They yell at you, but I don’t think they mean any harm by it… or maybe they do. Moving on…

My current favorite thing to get here is B9 – Beef Stew & Wontons in Noodle Soup. Alexa and Gao Di are in love with C18, which is basically the same thing except with the beef stew, wontons and noodles served on a plate with the soup on the side for dipping.

B9 is delicious. The stewed beef is tender and savory. The wontons are also  good, although my father says the wontons were much better when he was younger, and the combination of beef stew and wonton make for an incredibly fulfilling meal. Can we take a moment to revel in the generous portion of beef and wontons provided in the meal? Overall Wonton Garden is pretty heavy on the MSG and hours later I had that awkward MSG feeling left in my mouth- amazing while eating but irritating later. Anyway, my big bowl of noodles was $6.50 well spent.
