By far, the best wonton noodles I've ever had. Used to go to this place as a kid with the family. Went back to it recently and now I really understand what an outstanding bowl of noodles they serve. The wontons are the size of a child's fist. The noodles are firm and not soggy. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

Good place for a Pre-dinner Noodle if you're Ridin' Solo(DeRulo style). Closes early so most of my attempts at coming here before was always SHOT down, as I come after 7 pm or so. Simple place, straightforward Menu, friendly Cantonese/English speaking service, self-service Tea.
FYI, they will attempt Mandarin but it's as FUNNY as how I sound.
As Cook "Wah" makes my Wonton in Noodle Soup($4.50) in the OPEN kitchen, I looked at the menu which is pretty much a handful of items only. Noodle with Oyster Sauce or Noodle Soup, then your choice of up to 3 items(Wonton, Beef, Fish Balls, Beef Brisket, Meat Sauce, etc...) With only these few items, you can make quite a few different combinations that cater to your preference.
The Bowl comes out FAST with 4 big Wontons and normal portion of Noodle in a standard stock. The Wontons are packed with Shrimp and pretty tasty and most people like to dip it in condiments such as the Red Vinegar or add Chili Oil for added flavour. Bowls can cost up to $7.00 and you can even add extra Noodles for $1.50 for those big consumers.Listed in: Southern Chinese Food, Pull My Noodles - Chinese

Wonton Chai Noodle is runned by the same family that runs Jim Chai Kee up in Richmond Hill.
The set up is really similar to Jim Chai Kee that only offers 3 choices Wonton, Beef and Fish Balls with either in noodle soup, in soup or noodles with oyster sauce.
They do have the spicy meat sauce with noodle or the beef brisket with noodles.
They suppose to have the same secret recipe as the other locations.
You have to get your own tea and if busy you might have to share tables with strangers.
I found this location, the portion is a little smaller. However, the restaurant itself is cleaner since this is relatively new compare to the Richmond Hill location.
The service is very fast and friendly. Good place to go when you in a rush.
They closes early though, 7:30 PM!

I used to be a regular here cause the food is cheap, and tasted really good. HOWEVER recently after taking a bite into a delicious wonton, I saw two large dead beetle under it. Needless to say, I discretely asked them to change it to some other dish, but they refused?! I heard stories of it happening to other people, but never experienced it myself. I've never been back since. I don't get why the bad attitude cause I was always a good tipper $2 for a $4.50 meal.
Also would like to add that the tables are always sticky. I ask you, how hard is it apply soap and water?? -

This is what you would call a greasy spoon in chinese. Very dirty and pretty good (I love their hot paste! Probably the best in Toronto). you have heard the saying what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.
I can honestly say that I come here a few times a month. Sucks to be the person who found some unwelcomed friends in their meal. I guess I have been lucky or they were really unlucky.
Good value for the food. Not much of a service place, pretty much a self serve(tea drinks) I guess being in Hong Kong and seeing this place you tend to get that HK feel...=o)
Too bad it wasn't Hong Kong cheap ($10 HK for a bowl). So go and enjoy a fast lunch of shrimp wonton noodle soup. -

I love uncrowded, cheap and delicious restaurant finds. I love wontons, I love fishballs, I like beef brisket, and I absolutely adore Chinese noodles in its various forms. This place has it all!
$4.50 for a bowl of rice noodle in warming soup with 4 large wontons. Extra for a plate of Chinese lightly boiled Chinese veggies. Simply slurpy and delicious. The home made chilli sauce is kick-ass and you can buy jars of it at cash to take home - $9 for a large jar and less for a smaller version.
The service is QUICK, and though the mostly Chinese speaking servers can seem a bit abrupt, I'm going to forgive them as I don't think the attitude is given out of mean-spiritedness. Pay at the counter and grab your own tea!
It's located in a crowded random strip plaza that would be easy to miss if you drive too fast, so pay attention! -

My first 5 star rating!
Some may think it's horrible but some may experienced the 5 star treatment. It's cheap, tasty, and service is impeccable!
Jennifer K. did mention it's similarities to Jim Chai Kee and possibly the new Wonton Hut but I come to this location. Not cause it's close. I live at warden and highway 7. I'm close to both. I do work about 5-8 minute drive to Wonton Chai, which is relatively close but the service is the reason. I come during lunch and they know my name and order. I brought two Filipino coworkers and the owner and staff remembers our orders. We walk in and they would shout in Cantonese, "Same" and we'll nod "Yes." We go 4-5 times in a month. They know we'll be ordering a plain fish ball & wonton in soup, wonton and beef brisket with rice noodle, wonton and beef brisket with mien, and a plate of vegetables with extra oyster sauce.
You will have to serve tea yourself but it's a self service place. Walk to the cashier counter to pay when ready. They really don't expect much tip but I tip them according to Chinese standards, which is 10%. My coworkers and girlfriend made fun of me but later realize the difference to west and east after multiple Asian cuisines I've taken them.
They're quick and you'll have just enough time to digest before work. We'll, I don't smoke but great for my smoking coworkers. Also, being a CBC, my Cantonese is horrible with a broken telephone accent. Saves me from ordering and just saying "Yes" when I come in. They do speak English!
There location is in a small plaza shared with TD Canada Trust. Meaning parking can be hard to find during peak hours but I haven't had a problem after circling. It is a hidden gem!
