What people say, in short
Many people recommend this Hong Kong noodle shop, and several single out its wonton noodles, with one diner calling the large shrimp wontons the best they know. Others find it budget-friendly and filling, especially at lunch, and one diner says it suits solo diners. The caveats: two commenters rank Mak An Kee above it, one diner also finds the noodles pretty ordinary, and another says the wontons have become pricey.
