I recently checked out Hon's Wun-Tun House (love the name lol) after a day cruising on a boat around the Bay. It had started to get a little chilly, so a place that served a nice bowl of noodle soup was the perfect place to hit up. I went with the pork wonton soup and also split an order of Sichuan dumplings with some of my friends. The soup broth was light and had good flavor. There were also some egg noodles and garnishes to balance things out. I felt like the portion of dumplings and pork was fairly generous. I enjoyed the soup overall. I do have to say that the Sichuan wontons were EXCELLENT. I will definitely be coming back for those. The servers were friendly and generally responsive to our needs, although the spot started to get busy as the evening went on. That's to be expected given the food quality. I will definitely be coming back to try more items!

The best HK style egg noodles. This place has the hand made noodles which are much and firm in texture and the broth is the same recipe for over the past 40 years. The new location is spacious and the staff friendly and helpful. Love the beef tendon won ton noodle soup!

As a visitor, I turned to Social Media reels for a recommendation in Chinatown. Here, I was told to try the Onion Pancake and their various rice and noodle dishes. I, in turn, recommend much of the same. The Fish Ball soup is not only affordably priced, but it's exactly what I expected and craved...big firm yet chewy pieces of fishball, perfectly textured noods & various appropriate toppings. It all came together for me and hit the spot...not to mention that it was hearty and light at the same time which was perfect for all the eating and walking we were doing. They have various rice and noodle dishes to choose from and depending on your mood, I'm sure it'll be the right choice. We arrived at about lunch time and the restaurant was already buzzing with customers. Luckily, we only waited a few minutes for a table and was almost immediately served with complimentary & refillable hot tea which was a pleasant surprise. Service was quick and I enjoyed people watching and seeing the "dance" between the servers and chefs. Barely any words were exchanged but they just kept moving...taking orders, serving, etc. It was neat. This place is not fancy or bougie but it's as good or better than those types. If you're visiting, I recommend this place as a way to get great food and experience culture. The locals seem to agree since I observed many regulars all around us.

I'm Taiwanese , If you have been carving Taiwanese food ! you can order 1.Dumplings 2.Wonton 3.Northern style Dumplings 環境有很重的魚露味道，但能接受！ 蔥油餅，吃下去的時候，讓我想起在台灣下課的時候，吃著蔥油餅

Went around 3 pm on a Saturday and we got a table around 5 minutes after adding our name to the list. The restaurant is pretty small, maybe around 10 tables inside and 2 outside, but they get tables in and out pretty fast. When you sit down, they give you the menus and hot tea, and they are very attentive when you ask them for an extra bowl or water. They let us know that the dumplings would take a little longer to come out but the noodles came out soon after we ordered. B1 Signature Wunton Noodle Soup - The dish was very authentic and classic. It came with thin egg noodles, 5 wontons and had a chicken broth soup base. The noodles were chewy and the soup was very light and mild where you could adjust to our own spice level with the sauces. I liked that their wontons were a shrimp and pork combination which added a bit of bite from the shrimp and flavor from the pork. B12 BBQ Pork Wun-tun Noodle Soup - Very similar to the signature wonton soup and would definitely recommend if you love BBQ pork. The pork is super soft and gives you another taste pairing within the dish. H3 Green Chives & Pork Dumplings - The plate of 12 came out hot and packed with flavor! The dumplings were meaty, rich and so juicy with every bite. It also came with a side of vinegar which added a nice note of sweet and sour. Our total came out to around 50 dollars so super affordable. A cozy place for a quick lunch or when you're craving some traditional, comforting wonton noodle soup.

Our guide had mentioned this as a good wonton noodle place when we had walked by. It was raining and we had just finished a tour with SF City Guide.  We just had to eat here. We got the Beef Brisket WunTun Noodle Soup - it met my expectations, I felt as if I was in Hong Kong. We also got the Pan Fried Pot Stickers - the skin was thin and crispy, the sauce was correct, savory sauce.  None of that sweet and sour American stuff. And I could not resist ordering the mango pudding with evaporated milk - just perfect.

The waiting list for a party of 6 kinda sucked, given Hon's Wun-Tun House is fairly small. But the wait was definitely worth it! I actually stumbled upon this place through an Instagram reel highlighting their signature dumplings and won-ton noodle soup. Unfortunately, when we were seated, our server told us that they had sold out on some of their items, but we still managed to order what we wanted: spicy dumplings and scallion pancake to share, as well as dumpling noodle soups with beef tendon. All the food was delicious, but the spicy dumplings were especially my favorite. I got the sense that their chili oil was homemade. It just gave the dumplings an extra oomph. Hon's Wun-Tun House: perfect lunch, especially if you're visiting on a chilly SF day. Just be mindful that if you're wanting to dine in with a larger-sized party, you might have to wait a little extra in line for a table.

I have been here multiple times now, and the reason I keep coming back is the wonton soup that warms me up and fills my heart - that's their specialty. There's a waiting list hanging at the door. One thing I've noticed is that sometimes people just go in and grab a seat themselves, kind of bypassing the waiting list. Just make sure to let the staff know you are on the waiting list to avoid this kind of situation. There's a restroom in the restaurant, but you will have to bypass the kitchen and go down the stairs on the left, which it could be dangerous for both staff and customers. *Wun-tun & Dumpling Noodle Soup: For noodles, you can either go with alkaline noodles or mixian. The highlight is really the wonton and dumpling. There are 5 wontons and 3 dumplings - they are juicy and flavorful. The dumplings are Fengcheng style, with thin wrappers and filled with pork, shrimp, wood ear, etc. It's like a variation of wonton! They are slightly bigger in size as well! The only downside to me is their broth does not have much flavor, it's slightly salted but lacks the umami kick. *Five spice Tea Eggs (3 pcs): The spice level is mild and perfect. The eggs are cracked because it's best to absorb the flavor into the egg while marinating. You will then remove the shell yourself and enjoy it. *Hot milk tea: It's sweetened, and the tea comes with a unique floral flavor, which would taste better if the tea base is stronger.

Perhaps the first thing that caught my eye was the spelling of the word, "Wun-Tun". I'm an American-born kid that always thought that the "real" spelling was, "W-O-N-T-O-N". What gives!?! The moment I glanced at "Wun-Tun" I thought I was living a lie for the longest time. Could this be the OG house of wonton soup or have I just been living under a rock this whole time? Was this the "old school" or "hip way" to spell it? I just didn't know what to believe. I swear, I had a million more things racing my mind. I contemplated life and food. I contemplated on things that I always thought to be true. Was Char-siu pronounced, "Chaw-shoo", "Cha-soo", or "Char-soo"? How is dry fried chicken "dry" after it was bathing in hot oil? Doesn't that make anything that's deep fried, a "dry fried" dish?? I mean, if you shake and pat off the excess oil, can't it be considered, "dry fried" later on? I even contemplated what an actual "Wun-Tun" was. Was a "wun-tun" a binary, plant-based version of the dumplings I grew up to know and love? Were there like shark fins in it, or just a "Tun" of ingredients inside (haha)? Even the word "dumplings" (especially at Hon's) had me tripping out! I literally thought the term, "dumplings" was an American or laymen's term for a "wonton" (or shall I say a "wun-tun"). Was a wonton the same thing as a "wuntun", and/or "dumpling"? After all, Hon's menu had a section, called, WUNTUN/DUMPLING SOUP. I'm gonna randomly start learning Chinese and its culture for deeper insight. Apparently, at Hon's, wuntuns and dumplings are different things. As opposed to ordering Hon's signature self-named, Wuntun Soup, I unwittingly ordered the Dumpling Soup, instead. I was like, "Yum, dumplings...I'll order dumplings because I was in a soup mood and the dumplings I know and love are like little fun balls of meat!" So wrong. I was so wrong. Upon entering, there was but one table for me to eat as solo artist....but noo.....I got the 'ole switcharoo and ended up sharing a table with another stranger. It so happened that this stranger was an American male also making his first visit to Hon's. So I was just sitting across from him at this back table counting down if I actually received "8 pieces" of dumplings in my soup. Every moment I had, I just looked puzzled, staring down at my bowl in disappointment. I kept noticing how the dumpling wrappers were loosely floating above my broth like sad, mini rubber duckies. I felt like a disheartened goose father (or duck), that someday hoped that at least one of his dumpling duckies were gonna fly with pride! "May I add a little soy sauce?" so I thought. Little side note, after the good ole American finished his Wuntun (apparently, he got the right order). I asked what he thought of his food, and this was his response: "I like pho, better. I'm more of a pho guy." The eyes in the back of my head rolled over, but kindly, I said out loud, "Hmmm, pho is a different kind of soup, right?" Sir, please leave, now. Thank you, sir. It wasn't until I noticed the wun-tuns (in my family takeout order) at home, I realized my mistake. The difference between Hon's "dumplings" and their "wun-tuns" made a big difference for me. Apparently, dumplings were casually or loosely wrapped, causing the wrappers to float around like impotent noodle ducks. Wun-tuns are tightly wrapped like smaller versions of siu mai (and don't get me started with the pronunciation and accents!). Wun-tuns were definitely the stuff I was looking for but failed to order it for myself. I actually sampled a wuntun, but I will be making another trip to Hon's taking this knowledge with me for a possible updated review. Knowledge is power, by the way. So there you go! I had to abide by the honesty system, and trust that Hon's indeed gave me 8 pieces of dumplings which were kinda tough to count out since my pieces were floating all over the place. I also sampled the lo mein (at home), and again, I was stupedfied by this order. I swear, the noodles in this dish were literally, the type of noodles you'd expect in a wonton noodle soup. Was it possible that the Lo Mein items in their menu were the same type of noodles in Hon's, "Chef's Special Noodle Soup" section? Ugh, more questions. I've ordered Lo Mein in another restaurant (name witheld) and I was just so moded. More questions about noodle types raced in my head. The pain!! My advice, if you're as ignorant as me, you may have to consult with someone who knows their food here or just get a plain translator. I'm only handing out 4 stars because this place deserves at least a second trip. Despite my ignorance (and my witless expectations), the Dumpling Soup came out fast, hot and delicious. I witnessed some fresh, scallion pancakes which really caught my eye. I'll definitely be ordering that along with a legit bowl of Hon's wuntun, or wun-tun (don't get me started with the hyphenated spellings, either).
