Shanghai Wonton Noodle Restaurant in Ottawa

The pork shepherds purse dumpling soup is really fantastic. Really delicious and great value in a no-frills, humble setting. Highly recommended, especially on a cold day.

Food was delicious, affordable and very fast. Will come back again.

I think about this incredible place every single day. Very sad they are closed Wednesdays. Id give them a 10 star if I could.

The prices and quality of the food here make it worth the trip. The shepherds purse dumpling soup is so good! However be warned this feels like a student restaurant. You order at the front, and the ambience is like that of a back ally restaurant in China. I think it adds to the charm but its certainly austere.

I just popped in off the street for a quick dinner and this place is blowing my little mind! I just had the pork and mushroom wontons and they were incredible. Cant wait to try the rest of the menu

My FAVOURITE spot in Ottawa for cheap, delicious food! Wontons (essentially dumplings) that dont cost an arm and a leg - homemade, fair amount of filling, and very generous proportions! I highly recommend the peanut sauce!!

Amazing price and taste. My only complaint is that they seem to be cheap on the fillings in the wonton last few times I visited. And the place is dingy

So glad I stumbled across this hidden gem, Best soup I ve ever had Food

Quite Authentic Chinese food

love love love this place and the food ! the pork noodle soup is amazing and the service is fast.

Tastes like home

The food is authentic and for a fair price! As long as you dont mind a bit of a wait, I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Ottawa

If they raise the price I will dip my face in the broth and never pick it up Parking: If your car is expensive, they will let you park in front of the bubble tea shop Wheelchair accessibility: Grandmas walker doesnt fit in the door

Great food, large servings, reasonable prices.

The stewed wonton itself is very filling, the meat is thick and the skin is thin, and it is very fragrant, but the soup base is relatively bland. Still recommended! The price is very affordable! Credit card payment is supported, and you can also choose to pay in US dollars or Canadian dollars.

Food is good, but the toilet is incredible dirty. Please improve the environment.

absolute best place to get chinese food. Would recommend getting #1 and #11

Exactly what you want when craving wontons. Great portion and great price.

Omg the best dumplings and noodles I have ever eaten! 10/10

Delicious wonton with peanut butter! Kid-friendliness: Plastic utensils, highchair Food : 5/5 |

If you know you know This isnt a fancy place. The food is amazing. That is all you need. Food : 5/5

this is easily my favourite restaurant in ottawa. i dream about their crispy wontons daily.

Cheap and delicious

Wonton soup!

Get the noodle dance!

Not a fancy restaurant but you get what you pay for!

Hole in the wall dumpling/wonton shop. Food is excellent, and cheap.

Can be scary when you open the door. Dont get caught up in the game and the eyes!!! Very authentic meal and the portions are huge for the price. Im not an expert in wontons, But its the best Ive eaten.

Cant go wrong for the price pretty delicious.

Bad food, no service, bad environment.

Very good food! The staff is amazing! Come and support a good restaurant and a local restaurant! Vegetarian options: They have some mushroom and non meat options

Ive been here twice for lunch in the past few weeks. The food is tasty and its great value for money. But the restaurant could really use a deep clean. I only noticed it today, when I glanced at the floor while waiting for my meal and saw all the encrusted dirt, debris and stains, especially along the trim. It looked like it had not been swept and mopped in a long time. I tried to focus on my beef and noodle soup when it arrived, but the state of the floor wasnt appetizing. Its a pity, because the product (the food) is great and really reasonably priced. A cleaner dining area and perhaps friendlier service would make a real difference.

Best noodle place in town. No doubt about it.

Definitely one of those hole in the wall restaurants but with fantastic food. I ve been coming here for over 5 years now and it s one of the very few restaurants that haven t changed at all. I ve tried a large majority of their menu now and they ve never disappointed. Any time someone asks me for recommendations for a restaurant downtown, this is the first spot I think of. They also offer delivery on UberEats which I ve done many times now. Food always comes warm and tastes the same as you would get if you dined in!

Amazing food. I ll definitely come back

Till this day, I am thankful that I have stumbled upon this place. The fact that you can eat amazing food, and be full for around 10$ is almost un heard of these days.

Little gem in downtown Ottawa, went there for a quick meal and chose the place because of the amazing reviews. Totally worth it and not expensive at all! The broth and the noodles are delicious, will definitely go again!

It s not a right place to have Shanghai wonton and noodles. I ordered wontons and noodles. However, the food doesnt taste good nor authentic. The environment was so dirty.

Good quality and low price. Super cheap.

Noodles, soups and dumplings in this hole in the wall on Rideau street. The wonton soup is good, but my preference is the wontons with peanut sauce. Worth the trip for takeout for sure.

Great food at a good price. However a little bit of a older atmosphere

Tasty noodles and dumplings. Friendly and helpful service. Prices are more than affordable. The dining area is just not very tidy and clean. The table was very stick despite already being wiped down. The lid of the chili oil jar was full of built-up grime over the months/years since it was last properly washed. They have supplies boxes lying around so it doesn t help with the tiny space. Open kitchen right in the dining area, so it s hot and smoky, yet not much AC or air ventilation. I would come back for the food, just not eating in.

This place rocks. Wontons are delicious, beef noodle is amazing. Fair prices and fairly quick service. One of my fav go-to spots in the city!

Great food, their vegetarian wonton noodles with peanut sauce is superb. The only thing I didn t like is their staff who is very rude and discourteous. No greeting no nothing. Quite grouchy.

Everything is fresh and made to order.

Food is really tasty. Very affordable price. :)

Tasty but without ambience

Delicious and fragrant

Tofu peanut noodles just might be the most affordable, tasty vegan meal in the area.

The wontons are very fragrant and have thin skin and tender fillings.

Great place for a cheap bowl of noodles and dumplings! Just that the noodles was slightly on the softer side but all in all I like it!

They just ask people to get order done without having seated. Environment is terrible and dirty, service is even worse. DONT COME

One of the delicious and pocket friendly restaurants in downtown Ottawa

If you want some authentic Chinese food in Ottawa, this is the place for you. Both the wonton soup and noodle soup are good! This restaurant is very affordable. Definitely recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious. Definitely a hole in the wall place that is worth returning to. I get that its not a fancy business, but it would have been nice to be greeted. People were pretty grouchy.

Legitimately the best noodles I ve ever had. The peanut sauce is divine.

the food here is good. these dee fried wontons are amazing

Hidden gem, I absolutely love this place and its my go-to whenever Im downtown and im feeling hungry. Prices are amazing for the portions you get and you get amazing service here. If youre dining in theres a selection of seasoning on the tables for you to customize the food to your liking. This place is authentic Asian food and you get plenty of tasty flavour in your food!

Some of the best Wonton Soup Ive ever had. The #2 is my go-to order. This is a great little authentic spot with super tasty food and great prices.

Always order a number 4 and I come minimum once a month for the yummy soup and lovely workers (believe its family run)

Food was delicious and very good prices. I recommend their Beef Noodle Soup.

Peanut sauce with fresh handmade dumplings 10/10.

Hey this place isn t about the look, service or atmosphere, but still absolutely delicious! Recommended, but just focus on the food.

Absolute banger of a soup straight from a ghibli movie.

Absolutely delicious, super affordable too

Absolutely fantastic little hole in the wall joint serving authentic cold/hot noodle dishes and dumplings. Not much for ambiance or seating but the food speaks for itself.

Hidden gem! Definitely hole in the wall. Don t expect anything fancy but the food is awesome and legitimate. You can t go wrong getting the #1 small wonton soup. I like getting the marinated egg as well. Nothing fancy but tastes good and food comes out hot and quick!

Food was good. The place is a dump. Service did not extend beyond taking your money and serving your order to where you are sitting.

Incredibly good and perfect big wontons, large portions, affordable, delicious and not expensive

Pre covid prices for food and it s delicious?? It s truly a great place to go and the portions are big! I really enjoy the wonton soup, peanut noodles and pork noodle soup. They also don t skimp out on the toppings like many restaurants have been doing recently. As a Chinese person it wins my approval! <33

Wonton Noodles is in another level here, cheap too. Could be a better place to dine in.

You want some amazing Beef Noodle soup? Look no further then this place. The number 11 is my personal favorite. The noodles are soft yet have a really nice bite to them. The broth is amazing and full of flavour. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

This place is a hidden gem downtown, dont miss out!

Very tasty and delicious! You wont get regrets forever! Highly recommend!!

Family owned authentic Chinese restaurant. Love the braised pork, marinated eggs and of course the Wonton Soup!

tasty

Super friendly family owned establishment. We ordered won ton soup, beef noodle soup and marinated tofu. Everything was delicious. The won ton soup was very filling and the won tons were tastey. The tofu was also very flavourful. The quantity was amazing for the price. The place might look a bit old but it is clean, and you cant beat the quality and the price.

A hole in the wall gem. Their wonton soup is so delicious and filling with the chilli oil and some soy sauce It adds so much flavour to an already delicious soup. Their dry hot beef noodles are so good and also filling. You can t beat it. It s also so affordable.

Best thing you ll ever have, sooooo delicious and tasty

Great no-nonsense hole in the wall restaurant that makes delicious food for cheap. Dont come here for the atmosphere (there is none). Come here for tasty Chinese food thats a really good deal.

Well priced Chinese food. The dry noodles were nice!

Their beef noodles are legit. And the peanut dumpling are delicious. The place isnt grand, and the washroom gross. Food is a hidden gem, everything else is underwhelming Food

Tasty food and quick service - I recommend trying the wonton soup and fried wontons. A hidden gem restaurant downtown that s well priced too

Delicious, affordable and efficient

Their noodles is really the best out of all the Chinese restaurants I have tried in Ottawa.

Amazing food for an outstanding price. Food is either carried out or dine in. The noodles were phenomenal, and the wontons were great with a tremendous value for dollar/per-wonton. I will be back. Wheelchair accessibility: Completely flat one story from porch to counter.

Owner was extremely rude and just ignored us the entire time while we were standing infront of the cash register. Then rudely waved us away saying they are too busy. Wont come back here ever again.

Really cheap, large portion, a bit salty

Popular for a legitimate reason. Really tasty dim sums and noodles!

Excellent food. Great price. A hit in any man s league!

Hygiene...too dirty

It was okay before, but today I ordered four bowls of wontons. The skin of each bowl was too thick, and some were even undercooked. The experience was so bad, I wonder if the chef has been changed.

Shanghai Wonton noodle restaurant has stolen our hearts with their amazing food! This place has become our absolute favorite spot in town, and for a good reason. The Pork Mushroom Big Wonton Soup is an absolute delight! The wontons are generously filled with flavorful pork and mushrooms, and the broth is rich and comforting. Its the perfect dish to warm up with during the winter months. Equally impressive is their Tofu Hot Dry Noodle. The combination of textures and flavors in this dish is spot-on, and we find ourselves craving it even on the hottest days. The dedication to quality and taste is evident in every bite, and its no wonder were willing to drive 20 minutes, even in winter, just to savor their delicious meals. If youre a fan of wontons and noodles, this is a place you simply cannot miss. We highly recommend Shanghai Wonton noodle restaurant for a memorable dining experience!

Tasty noodles and dumplings for great prices.

Great quality food and the price can t be beat. My partner and I come here often, rotating our selection between the wonton and beef noodle soup.

Delicious and amazing value! Ordered on ubereats for three people. We got the wonton soup, beef hot dry noodles, two orders of peanut dumplings, and the vegetable soup with beef broth. Every bite was delicious. Favourite dish was probably the wonton soup but we loved everything. Flavors were amazing. Will definitely order again.

The best pork wontons and broth I ve ever had!! Nice to feel like I m eating at home while traveling. Great price and big portions.

Very affordable and delicious!

Plz don t close!

It tastes delicious and the price is rare

Great place, good, nice and cheap!!

The hot dry noodles taste good, the wontons taste average

I purposely took a detour from Quebec back to Toronto to visit this famous Ottawa wonton shop. The first thing I found when I entered the store was that the environment was very uncomfortable. The chairs were sticky, the tabletops were all shiny with oil, and it was very dirty. The restroom was underground and clogged. . . . You can tell from a glance that it hasnt been cleaned in a long time. The environment in the store can even be described as bad. As for the dishes, I ordered beef noodles, small wontons, large wontons and braised chicken legs. Are the wonton wrappers extremely thick? ? The meat filling is very small. taste The reviews are average, and as for the wonton soup, it has the taste of a convenience fabric bag. The beef noodles are a no-brainer, and the braised chicken legs are like the local Shaxian snacks. Braised chicken legs. The overall evaluation is that there is no need to go out of your way to check in. One more thing, boss, can you please clean your bathroom? Be careful, the health bureau will check it directly for you. (As long as you think it tastes good, I won t come back or recommend it to anyone.)

I don t know if this Google review was posted saying that people who want delicious food should have their own conscience. Secondly, the hygienic environment in the store is so bad that you can t even imagine it. The wonton skin is the thickest soup base I have ever eaten and the convenience package is full of ingredients. Taste I hope Google will have a one-star option in the future. I will give this store no hesitation.

Very good quality, quantity and at a good price. A 10.

Truly delicious! And generous.

Yummy

100% authentic food! Just like home cooked meal. The dry noodle is extremely flavorful. The small wontons are excellent as well. Price is very reasonable. Owners are very friendly.

Good food for a good price! Portions are a bit small compared to other places though.

Absolutely delicious wontons. The shepherd s purse and pork in peanut sauce are my favourite, but their wontons are also really nice fried. You can watch the owners make it by hand. It s family owned, operated usually by a husband and wife pair. Prices haven t changed since before COVID. I usually pay about $12 for a large meal. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Great food, unfortunately it s just not the best place to dine in. The food was amazing- would definitely recommend the peanut noodles, which were only $6 and had a huge and tasty portion. Could be a meal by itself and you d be full. Other great dishes that I would recommend are the wonton soup, pork/beef noodles and the dumplings. Unfortunately the washrooms were some of the worst that I have ever seen in Chinese restaurants. The stall doors were missing and the floor was wet/sticky. The sink was okay though. Wish I could give 5 stars but the washrooms were terrible.

When I finish writing my thesis I will thank Shanghai Wonton Noodle for their contribution for their culinary and emotional support.

Impressive food, it is really delicious food.

Not good

Food portions are amazing for the price, 15 relatively large wonton pieces was under 7$. I m surprised they can even make a profit with the large portion they serve. Place is run by a couple so there won t be anyone constantly cleaning the desks but the place is surprisingly clean. They take care of everything from cooking ordering to serving and cleaning up, so they appear exhausted. Yet they are still friendly and helpful. Definitely don t let it s appearance fool you, this place is a great place for food thats a bang for your buck

After the discount on Uber, the price of 33.9 for three staple food is still very reasonable. One portion at a time is definitely enough for girls. If you eat too much peanut butter, you will get tired of it. The filling is a bit salty and the skin is really not thin.

Cheap and cheerful. Wonton soup is what you want to go here for!

Cheap price with big portions and authentic food. I always can get full here with around $10. Delicious wonton soup and beef noodles Perfect place to eat when you re lazy to cook but don t want to spend too much

Very friendly, the boss looks like Chairman Jiang Zemin.

The boss looks like Jiang Zemin hahahaha

Dirty environment, terrible service, and even no one here to clean the table. You have to order first, then you are allowed to find table by yourself, even there is no table. The pic shows that no one clean the table that we want to use when we sit here more than 10mins.

The interior is kinda grimy, but the food has a home cooked quality to it thatll have you coming back

tasty

Hidden gem. Delicious and incredibly affordable dumplings. I love this place.

Super busy. Legit Chinese food. Taste is ok.

Great food at a very good price. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Service was quick.

Yummy!

Delicious food at a good price. No complaints at all. I have had the small wonton soup before and it was spectacular; it is genuinely one of the best soups I have ever had. Very flavorful. Lately I have been getting the tofu dry hot noodle. The noodles are tender but have a nice springiness. The sauce is a peanut and sesame based sauce that coats the noodles nicely and is the perfect combination of rich and salty. I like to add the chili oil provided into them for a little bit of chili flavor. The dish is less than $10 too, which is hard to beat in the city. Highly recommend this place!

I saw a cucaracha there

I came here for a week and ate there three times. To sum up, it was okay. 1 Wonton: thick, hard skin, small meat filling, average soup, ordered mushrooms, but not many mushrooms 2 Beef noodle soup: The beef portion is good and the taste is good The noodles are just average. I thought they were Lanzhou Ramen, but they turned out not to be so, but they taste pretty good. 3. Hot dry noodles: no success and no fault It s a foreign country, you can come and eat it The hygiene is really average, the tables and chairs are dirty, and there are messes inside

The pot stickers I ordered looked like fried wontons. The taste is salty.

The small wontons (15pc) at 7$ are a good deal anywhere, and they are very authentic and delicious. The vegetarian pot stickers are also good, but they are fried and not authentic.

food is not bad, pretty average and not very authentic

FAAAAAANTASTICLY DELICIOUS

Great little hole in the wall with an affordable and delicious menu offerings. Consistently good food!

very comforting food to have , also not pricy at all ! I love the little wonton better.

This was the first time trying Shanghai Wonton Noodle Restaurant and Im so happy we did! Not only is it super affordable - you also get LARGE portions. There was enough for atleast two meals and cost $13 in total. The steak was SUPER tender and seasoned well. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the broth was not to salty and was very flavourful. The broccoli stems were also very well cooked. This would be the perfect meal for lunch, dinner or late night snack. The only thing lacking would be a little upgrade to the seating/restaurant atsmophere with decorations. Would happily return to eat here again.

Has a home cooked flavour to it. Youre not going to find anything better for the same price, food and quantity in Ottawa. For those complaining about service: this is a place you go to for the price and food, not the service. You cant have all three.

Price is good, small wonton no good, dry noodle no good, mushroom wonton is good, egg and chicken leg okay.

Had the pork big wonton soup and hot dry noodle. The portions are big and filling so I overestimated myself. Was really, would recommend.

Price is cheap, however the crispy fried wonton was too salty

busy restaurant with good cheap noodles

Lets just say youre not there for the decor. Great wontons at a good price. Updated: still great food. Keep it up Food : 5/5

I am Mexican and my girlfriend is from China, this is one of our favorite places

Absolutely amazing food - I am from Shanghai and lived there for 15 years. The food tastes exactly like how they tasted when I lived at my hometown - highly recommended

A very small family owned restaurant. Food is made freshly and tasty. For the price you can t complain too much about the atmosphere.

Amazing

Be careful because there is cilantro in the wonton! Number 11, peanut butter fried noodles, was more memorable haha. The wontons just taste like wontons! At $15 for wontons and noodles, it s great value for money.

I came here after a different noodle place screwed up my order and put on a bunch of onions. I hate onions. This place has a small menu and its good and cheap. Try the fried wontons.

Soul food, just what I needed. Wonderful simple little wonton house. Had the pork and mushroom which was delicious. Broth is not too oily which is just like home cooking. Definitely give it a try, especially as the weather gets chilly.

This restaurant might appear to be a sketchy hole in the wall, but the food is incredible! I have been a regular since I first discovered the restaurant in 2021. I especially recommend the noodles with beef. The prices are low and the food is delicious - couldnt ask for more!

Good place to fill your tummy but thats it.

This place is the best place especially if you re craving cheap Chinese food. It is the ultimate spot for students to go since it s near the university. I recommend the pork wonton soup, beef peanut noodles, beef noodle soup, fried pork wontons, and the peanut wontons. It s also owned by a cute family. Overall really good quality food for a low price.

Foods are good. Waited more than half an hour before anything s served.

One of the only hole in the walls left in Ottawa!

Good food at a good price

A surprise gem near the Rideau Centre. For a casual, no-frills noodle bowl, this is good for a quick and affordable bite. There is one vegetarian option - the vegetable soup noodles, which is great for a colder day. The menu items containing peanuts are outlined in red, but does not hurt to confirm for cross contamination. It is a very simple interior and you order at the counter. Great option for students. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian noodle soups. Dietary restrictions: Menu items containing peanuts indicated in red font.

Amazing!! Atmosphere is lowkey kinda scary but service is very fast and the hot dry noodles were SO GOOD!!!

Very cheap and very delicious

Was skeptical at first but saw many people coming and leaving and decided to give it a try. The food was very good and was not too expensive. The inside is similar to the vibes you get when you go to an old Chinese restaurant. Warning, there are no bathrooms.

A big filling delicious bowl of dumpling soup for only $10... its cheaper than McD, but way way way tastier. And the place has got soul
