East Corner Wonton - ehhh
I've been here in the past and I thought it was pretty good...but i went today and maybe they're having an off day, but the wonton soup noodles were very weak. Now giving them some credit, the soup base itself was good (fairly light, not too oily or saltyy, most places in ctown make the broth way too salty) and thats probably the hardest part, but the noodles were woefully undercooked (tasted like they weren't cooked at all) and the wontons were horrible (tasted like i got some frozen ones and put them in the microwave). We also got the sliced pig, which was okay, but the meat was a bit dry (normally i love this stuff)
Now given that i have had good meals in the past here, im hoping that its just an off day. That said does anyone know where u can get some good wonton soup noodles?? I'm craving a good bowl for some reason (i really want the ones like i used to get in HK --> though my expectations are reasonable i know i wont be able to find that level, but just a good bowl would suffice)

How does East Corner stack up against Wonton Garden on Mott?

i haven't eaten at wonton garden in so long (literally probably 4-5 years) that i'm probably not the right person to ask

I've never tried East corner but I like the Wonton noodle soup at J.M Family noodle house on Catherine and Hester.

I like the fish ball rice noodle soup at Roasted Delights, 5 Catherine St. Maybe you can try the wonton noodles there. Also great for fans of bright fluorescent lighting.

I've only had the beef stew noodle soup and some of the roast meats over rice there but it's decent and cheap. Much better than that fujianese noodle place around the corner on that triangle that's now the parking spot for those atlantic city casino buses. Tasteless soup, clumpy noodles, high prices and miniscule portions.

I went by there today and noticed they have an extensive menu including nine casserole dishes and three different preparations of flounder. .also sea bass, carp, and grouper.
