Here's my honest review about Wanton House, Hill Road. It's a cozy place next to St. Andrew's. Not much of a place that drags your attention because it's a small place. The interior is quite beautiful and the lighting is dim. There are seats outside too but I don't think they were available when I went. It was air-conditioned, the temperature was just perfect. The menu was good, looked visually pleasing and it also had instructions on how to use chopsticks. However, we weren't provided any chopsticks when we ordered. They said they didn't have any. Ah and yes, we wanted dumplings too but sadly those weren't available either. There were a lot of options to choose from but much lesser than what's on their Zomato. I didn't use their washroom but they do have it for customers despite the fact that it's already not huge of a place. It took a little while for the food to arrive and it was warm. Not exactly hot and not exactly just 'warm'. The quantity was pretty good. You usually don't get a good quantity of food in such a price range at restaurants that are in busy places of the cities so I'd give it a thumbs up. I didn't really see their kitchen but I read one of the reviews of a person who did and they said that it's hygienic. I'm not a fan of fish tho I have it when served and enjoy it but I was really excited to try the fish fried rice they had. And I wasn't disappointed. It was very delicious. We even ordered chicken wings. I thought it'd be dry but it was served in spicy garlic sauce which tasted amazing. I can't really speak for every dish but whatever we had seemed more of like Desi Chinese because authentic Chinese food doesn't have a strong flavour to it but trust me, it was delicious. The staff are just doing their job but this one person, who I assume is the head, was kind of sweet, maintaining good relations with customers. It's the little things like saying thank you or asking if we liked the food, etc. that actually make a difference. It seems like a good place to go to and I hope you find my review helpful. Here's a little suggestion that if you don't know about a dish, please ask the staff about it. That's nothing embarrassing. Not just here, but anywhere at all. And restaurants have their own styles of cooking so your order won't necessarily look like what you see on the internet or eat somewhere else. For example, I said that we ordered chicken wings but they were served in sauce. It's hard to understand what will be served just by reading the title. Whatever you'll receive there will be delicious but some people have preferences, so yeah, you can ask them about your order freely. It's a good place overall and to me, I feel like winter nights with friends or loved ones would be amazing there. Just how everything looks inside to the lighting and the restaurant being so close to a church, the vibes will be much more beautiful during winter so definitely give it a visit...

Visited this restaurant with recommendations from friend. After spending lot of time finding parking (no valet service, restaurant staff was not helpful for suggesting car parking locations) we went in. Restaurant was not crowded (50% capacity as per covid-19 norms). This is very small place, but ambiance was actually good, probably the best thing about our visit.
After a long delay arrived Manchow soup and Wonton noodles soup, which were not bad actually, and had our hopes for rest of meal but it was not to be. It was all downhill afterwords.
First shocker was Paneer with Crackling Spinach which was brought as 2 separate dishes, with sugar added! Manchurian and Mixed Vegetables Gravy were just okay. It's very difficult to make bad Hakka Noodles either. We ordered extra Fried Rice. Even after waiting for almost 1 hr, order didn't arrive (waiter confirmed twice that order is just on the way). By this time every food item on our plate was stone cold. Other tables were also complaining about delay. One table was so irritated about slow service even to finish payment that they publicly asked the staff to show some responsiveness. When we asked for our order for 3rd time, waiter realized that order never went to kitchen. It took another 20 mins for us to finally get our order.
Restaurant staff was mostly unapologetic, this might be regular scenario for them but it did messed up our dinner badly. We paid up and left wondering how a restaurant can have such a bad service and still end up with such high ratings. Maybe a bad day for staff but this is the differentiator between a good restaurant and...
Read moreIt is wheelchair friendly but the place is not too big so one has to put the wheelchair in the corner side of the table well I went in with help and sat on the chair and enjoyed my food ....because for its food it has most authentic food and I hear that it is a 50 years old restaurant which is a great thing so u can imagine the taste ....it is not exactly a Chinese Chinese taste but very much to the taste of Indians so you can call it Indian Chinese taste :) but it is to die for.... I tried there Manchow chicken soup which is really very yummy ....there chilli chicken is very famous dish, don't forget to try their egg fried rice, the chicken fried wontons which are served in a beautiful trolley kind of a thing I know they are fried but Worth trying and yes you must try the Sizzlers that they serve in two kind of sauces especially ....one is the green sauce and the other is the schezwan sauce... I also hear that this is the first and only Chinese restaurant that serves Sizzlers in Chinese food ....they also have home delivery at least to the neighbouring areas, they offer good Kitty meals for a good price... there is an outside sitting area too so in the winter season I am sure one would love to sit outside.... I got a chance to get into the kitchen which is so clean and hygienic ...there is a small nice clean washroom also... The host of the place really takes care and guides you to taste the best dishes of you if...
