Wu's Wonton King
10 people recommendvia r/FoodNYC12 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Diners recommend Wu's Wonton King for seafood, particularly king crab cooked three ways. Walnut shrimp and shrimp wontons also draw praise. One diner recommends it for a lively group meal rather than an elegant dinner, and another would choose it for a special occasion only if the group orders king crab. A visitor finds the seafood choice narrower than at East Harbor.
