I don't often review and I'm picky when it comes to food but the food here is pretty authentic. I am from Hong Kong so we know a thing or two about wonton, the wonton here is good. I have been coming here for months, the price is reasonable, I'll definitely be coming back again

Excellent giant wontons, could use a bit of salt. Skip the wonton with noodle and just get the wonton soup. Beef dishes are a skip. Big portion for side of Gailan (Chinese broccoli) and perfectly cooked. HK coffee w bit watery but good.

Food is pretty authentic and we enjoyed it, but my friend had a bad bout of food poisoning and I had runny stomach after eating each of ours shrimp wonton soup. Might be a coincidence or we are just unlucky, but just putting this up here in case if anyone had similar issues recently.

Gigantic Wonton has been at the top of my want-to-go list ever since I saw Instagram videos featuring the wontons. We finally visited this weekend, and it definitely won't be our last visit! The restaurant is cozy, with seating for around 20 people. The service is good and the food came out quickly.
We got the signature wonton noodle soup ($14), and I loved every part of this. The soup comes with 4 huge shrimp+pork wontons, a good helping of egg noodles, and warm savory soup. The wontons are truly stuffed to the brim, and the filling is high quality -- you can see the big pieces of shrimp when you bite in. They are delicious and savory. The thin egg noodles have a nice chew and pair perfectly with the soup and wontons. The Chinese broccoli is a nice touch as well. It looks like the signature wonton soup comes with 5 wontons for $15, so I think it's not a bad tradeoff to get 4 wontons + noodles for $14.
We also tried the Hong Kong style dumpling soup ($14) which comes with 6 huge dumplings. The filling here is similar to the wontons but with the addition of wood ear mushroom, which add a nice crunch. I really enjoyed this dish as well. The soup tastes a bit different from the wonton soup (it kinda tastes like they cooked the dumplings directly in the soup or something), but is still good.
We also got the spicy wontons ($9) which comes with 5 (not gigantic) wontons. The chili oil has a mala kick and there's also a slight sweetness in the sauce. I thought this dish was good, but I enjoyed the soups more.
To wrap it all up, we got the egg custard buns ($7 for 3), which were quite tasty. I want to try the golden black phoenix bun next time!
Usually when I eat wontons at restaurants, I lament the lack of filling compared to the ones we make at home. But Gigantic Wonton definitely has our homemade wontons beat in terms of filling amount. I had a wonderful experience eating truly gigantic wontons here, and will definitely be back!

We order take out for dinner and does not expect much. It turns out the food is amazing! We tried trio wonton soup which all of them are good but my fav is HK style dumpling with the texture of wood ear mushroom inside. Personally, HK style Lo mein with flat egg noodle is the highlight. They know how to cook it properly to get the best noodle texture. The wagyu curry is also good. They use the right part of the meat to cook this dish.
