non-ramen review: wonton forest – city of industry, ca
Ok, it’s not ramen, but if Keizo can review it, well, so can I! I’ve been wanting to try Wonton Forest after reading some rave reviews, and though my first love is ramen, I’m up for just about any type of noodle dish. Sure, some ramenyas serve wonton men, which is another wonderful Chinese/Japanese hybrid, but a wontonmen ワンタンめん at a ramenya is quite different than a Chinese, actually Hong Kong style, wonton mien 雲吞麵 (or wantan mee in Cantonese). A Japanese wontonmen is typically a shoyu ramen, complete with shoyu broth, ramen noodles, ramen toppings, and…wontons! Hong Kong style wonton noodle soup, on the other hand, has a lighter soup base that’s typically more of a chicken and fish stock, hard, thin egg noodles, wontons, of course, and is typically topped with Chinese broccoli or bok choy, and nothing else.

I’m glad to hear their Noodles were only slightly overcooked when you...
