    My husband and I were in the area and wanted to have noodle soup so we googled and Wonton Guy was the first that popped up. Let’s give it a shot! We like that the place felt like a mom and pop store. Seeing all the elders sitting down eating, we knew this place was special! Ordered 2 toppings noodle soup and when I tell ya the first sip of that broth hit me, I danced in my chair just like you did! We discovered Wonton Guy, I wanna say in March of this year and I’m not going to any other wonton noodle house cause this is it!!! Everyone should try this place, you will NOT be disappointed!

    Love your chopsticks skill. You da pro! 👍 I am in CA and your video here is making me want to get on a plane to go clear across the country for a bowl of that wonton. Those are the BIGGEST wontons I have EVER seen and I've eaten it all my life for decades. The dumplings are called "suey gow". It's a bigger version (as you can see) of the wontons and have wood ear fungus (a type of mushrooms) in it which adds crunch. It's simply delicious. One of my all the FAVORITE things to eat. The dry noodles that you were eating is called "Lo Mein", which simply means to "mix noodle" with whatever sauce.

    i love wonton noodle soup when its done properly. Noodles with a nice chewy and firm texture. Light but flavorful broth. Thick, meaty wontons. The wonton noodle soups near my area (Southern California) are decent but the best ones I've had were in Hong Kong and Vancouver, B.C. (Canada).

    Looks like a great local place. That first dish is pretty authentic. That second dish looks like a Chinese-Italian fusion dish. Chinese do not put tomato sauce in their noodles. You are the best UA-cam foodie I've ever seen in the USA. Mark Wiens is without a doubt #1 globally. I first started watching your videos when Mark and yourself did the Philly vids together.

    That area has some absurdly good Asian food. I used to live in Edison. HWY 27 is legendary for Asian Cuisine. A couple blocks down the road is Yaraku Ramen. It's easily the best Ramen I've ever had. Right down the road from that is Delhi Garden, which is arguably the best Indian food in NJ. Then there's Baguette Delite, which has the best Bahn mi I've ever had. That's walking distance from Yaraku and The Wonton Guy.

    Both of my parents grew up in Hong Kong, so my wonton experience was the opposite of yours JL Jupiter. I always had homemade wontons, dumplings and potstickers as a kid and those were “normal” for me. Then when I became an adult and went to the “corner” Chinese spot, and had wonton soup there, I spit them things out! It is not even comparable and I feel bad that many people in this country may only know those nasty things to be wontons.
    I haven’t been to Wonton Guy, but I am going to hit that spot up this weekend! So excited to finally get a good wonton!!!! Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

    I lived in Edison almost all my life, it is the mecha for Asian food on the East Coast and probably the entire US. Very high concentration of Asian immigrants and tons and tons of very good Asian restaurants all over the place. I live literally 2 minutes away from this place and never been there so I'll have to check it out soon.
    Terrible place to live though unless you like overcrowdedness, constant traffic and extremely high taxes. Can't wait to get out someday and go someplace that's a bit more quiet and laid back.

    Quail Ridge is a decent County Course. Personally, it's much more satisfying shooting a good score from the Back Tees. Good to see your challenging your game. If you have the opportunity you should try to play the Monmouth County Courses. IMO they have the best County Golf Courses in NJ. Homing Hill, Charleston Springs, Howell Park are all nice tracks. Hominy Hills is a Robert Trent Jones course. All very challenging from the Tips.
