Wonton Gourmet — neighborhood chinese in Des Plaines. Feels like it's been there since before the neighborhood changed. The food tastes like it should, with no compromises. "A Gem, Wonton gourmet serves hot fresh food, and the quality is great" — Donna [$]

One of our favorite restaurant in Des Plaines,IL Good food, good service, the place is always nice and clean. Wonton soup, wonton noodle soup is a must. The kids love the fried wonton skin and the fried chicken. Recommended to come try and you'll love ❤️ the wonton soup. Also, very easy parking

Love this place. Grt food and service. A little bit pricy than I'm accustomed to for the type of food. Nonetheless, it is still value to me. My server knows me and always greets me with great enthusiasm.

So after 7 treasures closed down many places have tried to get close to the taste of authentic wonton noodle soup. This is the closest I've tasted. On top of that the value is way better then anything you get in Chinatown. It's $10 and the $3 for extra noodles and it's worth it. They do the correct egg noodles and their wonton dint taste like cheap filling as so many places have done. Parking and seating are plentiful and service is quick. Place is super clean and the owner recognizes all his regulars. Everytime I'm in the neighborhood, I now sit down eat and take an extra to go for myself. Worth the extra trip

This is a Chinese noodle restaurants. It's been there for more than 15 years. It was started from a little place where close to the current location. Other than wonton the noodles and quick snacks, they also have different varieties of rice and popular stir fry dishes.

Can't say I like the melted styrofoam noodle or it's healthy to eat.

We ordered Chinese food lunch today at the office and I ordered "Beef w/ Black Bean Chow Fun". When this arrived, bottom part of Styrofoam container completely melted and made a big mess. I paid $15 for this garbage, just look at the pics. We have been ordering from this place for 20 years but never again am I ordering...
