13 reviews for Canton Noodle House
I love this place, used to be a weekly staple in our eating routine till we moved to Monroe. We try to visit every now and then and even have some wonton in our fridge.
We try to get there as soon as it opens to avoid the serial slurpers. The owner is very nice and always remembers our order. Our usual is two small wonton noodle bowls with two orders of salty donuts.
It's the secret of the ID that many people miss out on. It's a good breakfast place and very affordable.
It's cash only :)
I come here all the time with my Mom, and always leave satisfied each time!
When we come, the owner always comes and seats us to our table with a nice welcoming smile. My mom and I always know what to order. Our usuals include the Sui Kao noodle soup, plain noodle soup with veggies, or the original wonton noodle soup. We then always order a side of Chinese donuts (a crusty bread to add to your soup) or a side of veggies with oyster sauce!
The noodles really warm you up, especially when its a cold day!
With all these raving yelp reviews, I had expected this place to be great.
Finally went there when our regular awesome noodle place Canton WONTON House (across from Uwajimaya) was closed again for 4 weeks and were really craving for noodles.
Ordered the soup on the side wonton noodles, the noodles are not "spongy"(Q), it tasted powdery and the soup is tasteless yet way too peppery. Tried dumping chilli oil and soy sauce over it but really didn't help much.
Prices are steep as compared to the Canton WONTON house. Not accepting credit cards is another down side for this place. The waitress (owner?) was really nice and friendly though, her son even went around handling out lollipop for the kids.
The waitress was handling money and wrapping wontons in between - didn't see her wash hands nor wear gloves (ewww!), she was distracted by the TV and the plate of wonton fillings and wrappers were sitting uncovered while she waits on tables and watches Chinese soap opera - hmm are those the same wontons I just ate?
I guess I'm so used to watching the chef cook my noodles at the Canton WONTON House that I was expecting the same at this place, so when she took my order and disappeared into the back room, a strange "if-fyness" just aroused!
Honestly, disappointing...
Mmmm.. mmmm.. mmm-mmm-mmm!
Don't let the exterior fool you, they spend all their energy on the food and not the facade. (Unlike so many pseudo-gourment restaurants popping up all over Seattle.) The menu is simple, a variation of noodle soup with wontons, beef, sui kau, fish balls, etc. The wontons are handmade and the proprietor (I'm assuming) were making them at the table closest to the kitchen.
I ordered a small but after my first bite I regretted not getting the large. The egg noodles were perfect with the hearty, breefy broth and the wontons were 2-bite goodness. Minimal fluff, maximum flavor!
After battling with the aunties at the supermarket. The whole of international district was crowded. Ah YES!, it's the prep for the Lunar New Year. No parking everywhere. I just want to eat something light. Where can I go? How about visiting my old friend?
The old friend is "Canton Noodle House" They have parking and good wonton. So what it's not a fanciful place? I like the people, their wonton, soup and noodles. Didi ordered chuk (porridge) Their chuk has improved. Extra points for that.
*CASH ONLY* Nothing beats an old friend. I should be coming here more often. (I know..excuses...excuses....)
My mom's been talking about this for months so I finallly got a chance to go there today and boy am I impressed. I love egg noodles so this was a plus but their wontons are made fresh daily and I happen to be there when the owner and chef was sitting at her table making up a batch and I had my camera (what luck). Check out the pictures and see for yourself.
Pho is played out, this is the new Pho. Go, you'll thank me. Take outs are available (seating area is small). You might want to ask for extra wontons, they're good.
Very enjoyable noodle soups here. Canton Noodle is a clean, quiet place off the main drag of the ID. From the outside it looks quite plain, but on the inside it's warm and friendly.
Both times I've had the Sui Kau soup (my favorite), with pork and shrimp dumplings. The broth tastes clean and flavorful, not funky like some places. Dumplings are some of the best I've had in this area - you can tell they're using quality ingredients and putting care into each dumpling they make.
Everything is made fresh daily, and you can even buy frozen wonton and sui kau dumplings to take home. The staff are very friendly and helpful and they care about what they're doing. Definitely going on the "regular" list!
OK, so I came to the Canton Noodle House after eating an anemic brunch at Beato's in West Seattle. I was still hungry and drove by this place on my way home. After hearing Michael and Mitzie's horror stories, I had to try it out for myself.
As soon as I walked in, I was hit with an unpleasant fishy smell. But I dealt with it and moved on. There were only Asian people inside, which usually means I'll like the food. I ordered the Noodle Soup with Wontons and Fish Balls (bet you didn't know fish had balls, did ya?). It was good, but not quite as good as Canton Wonton House (no affiliation). I found the broth to be adequately seasoned and rich. The wontons were a little on the small side, but delicious.
Overall, a solid meal. Ooh, and I love their on-site parking. Can't beat that in the ID! Boo to cash only and the funky smell.
Like Michael said cash only and NOT for vegetarians, they don't even attempt to accommodate them in any way shape or form.
I'll admit the bars on the window intrigued me, kind of reminded me of back in San Diego where lots of places have bars on their windows so I wanted to check the place out. The menu states the broth is made with chicken and pork bones and dried fish and dried shrimp. I thought it was an odd combination but decide most broths must be made this way and I just didn't realize it, oh how wrong I was.
I decided on the wonton noodle soup, it arrives and smells funny to me, a little fishy I think. I tasted it, a little too fishy tasting for my taste buds. I add some of the oil with chili flakes in it, thankfully that helps to flatten the fishy taste for me but I'm still not that impressed. I didn't like the broth or the noodles very much the wontons were ok but the fact the lady working there was making them right out in the dining room turned me off a bit. And the fact they were in no way willing to accommodate Michael's request rub me the wrong way. If you like fishy broths with you bars on windows go here otherwise I say pass it up.
Do you crave the refreshing taste of warm fishy pork-bone water?
Really nice staff here who were nice enough to prepare me some veggie noodles. My friend Andrew got the soup, but it was kind of rough on him.
If your into meat and seafood it might ne worth a try, but Panay vegifarians like myself, "steer" clear of this creepy bone soupyard.
I've been to the best wonton noodle house in Hong Kong. It was great. Canton Noodle House holds it's own against the best Hong Kong has. I eat here so much...so very much...
I love the staff here and the food is inexpensive to boot.
Where to go at 10 at night? well it's canton noodle house or purple dot.. and since I absolutely hate purple dot with a passion and am not in the mood for the runs tonight... I went for canton noodle house..... It was a bit sketchy ..... but there were a couple of people that were inside waiting for their to go orders.. that's always a good sign at 10 o'clock at night... well the service obviously crappy because they were closing down..... but the food was pretty good for the last batch of wonton noodle soup that they had... GET THE HOT SAUCE!!! that made the soup.. and with the chinese donuts.... it was pretty good... maybe it could be my famished self but regardless it was yummy and so darn cheap.... cheap and filling please give me some more :)
I'm from San Francisco, though I currently live in Seattle. My grandmother always knows all the best places for wonton and noodles in SF Chinatown (it can change as quickly as owners come and go), but I had no hook up here in Seattle. The owner of a nail salon [Pro Nails on Queen Anne Ave., which is excellent btw--see other review ;) ] told me about the Canton Noodle House. This place has super-yum wonton with lots of shrimp (a sign they don't scrimp on the goods and use just pork and fillers). One of the best menu items--if you want some variety but no tendons or bouncy fishballs--is the wonton noodles (meaning the bowl contains a few wontons as well as the long, thing slightly chewy noodles that some choose to traditionally serve in wonton soup) with sui kau (literally Chinese for "water dog"), which are bigger dumplings that are oh-so-tasty. They also have stuff frozen to go, so you can buy it and boil it yourself and put them in chicken broth with sesame oil, soy sauce, chili oil and whatever else your hungry little heart desires. It's not a fancy joint--what do you expect for a $6 meal. But it has its own parking lot, is clean and the service is kind and attentive. Oh, and btw, wonton is pronounced like "wun tun," not like "wahn tahn."
