Sun On Wonton House Inc - Burnaby

On the search for Sunday eats, we found ourselves at On On Wonton House located at 5640 Kingsway. I’m fairly certain that this used to be the location of Mr Ho’s Wonton House (which has since moved a bit further east on Kingsway a number of years ago). We were a bit hesitant since this place was dead at 11am but figured we might as well try them out.

Ordered On On based on reviews here on Yelp and have had failed experiences in New West. We ordered take out through Skip The Dishes, it was clearly made very fast at the restaurant and arrived very hot and fresh. We had Szechuan Chicken, Szechuan Green Beans and Beef Hor Fun/Wide Rice Noodles. The noodles were my only disappointment as they were clumpy and over sauced. The Szechuan dishes were excellent, full of spicy peppers and lots of flavour. Certainly this is more of a “western style” place but quite frankly that’s what I usually crave :

• always a busy place to go but they seat you right away<br/ • good soups, no msg; perfect for a<br/ cold, rainy weather<br/ • inexpensive, bring cash if possible<br/ • your typical wonton place, nothing really different from other Chinese restaurants<br/ • I would come back again, but nowadays there's a lot of other places to try

Came here on a slightly chilly evening on Sep 12, 2017. I'm staying in a hotel nearby and enjoyed a nice little walk. Was in the mood for something small and comforting so I ordered a bowl of won ton soup. Menu is pretty standard... lots of options for either Western Chinese food lovers or classic congee kind of food lovers. <br/ <br/ Food came out quickly. Noodles were traditional with good chew. Received 4 won tons in my bowl. Soup was good. <br/ <br/ Cheap enough meal: $6.25 including tax. <br/ <br/ Those white folks who were complaining that they weren't getting service: there were three other tables of white people and they seemed to get good service. So I don't know if you caught them on an off day or you did something to offend the staff. Would definitely come back here to try more of what's on the menu. One complaint: don't look at the window sills. Quite a few dead bugs laying there (mostly fruit flies).

Really impressed with this place! Food is really good, portions are generous and prices are fare. I've ordered from here several times and the food is always consistent and good. I recently ordered in and the gave me a complementary mango pudding! Very good!
