Customers describe Wonton Express as a small, no-frills spot where handmade wontons and a sesame sauce shine, with many calling the classic or Shanghai style varieties among the best in Montreal and even North America, and the prices praised as affordable given generous portions. The menu is simple and focused, with notable praise for the soup wonton and the cold noodle dish, while some items like the sticky rice shu mai are seen as mediocre; dishes are made to order, which can mean long wait times when busy, though some reviewers say the wait is worth it and the kitchen effort shows in the quality. The atmosphere is quiet and practical, sometimes described as perfect for a quick lunch or studying, and the place is often linked to a one person operation that can explain slower service but also the care behind the food; late hours and easy takeout add to its appeal. Overall, Wonton Express comes across as a beloved hidden gem for wonton lovers, delivering authentic flavors and value despite occasional delays or inconsistencies.
Delicious !!!! Best wontons I've had in Montreal. I can tell the ingredients are of an excellent quality & that everything was made with great care. Thank you very much 😊
Best wonton I've ever had in North America. Authentic Southern Chinese flavor (not Cantonese style, more like Shanghainese style). I sometimes drive from Toronto for this wonton. Be prepared for long wait time though, it could be more than half an hour if they are busy.
The sticky rice shu-mai is mediocre, I suggest only ordering wonton at this place as this is their specialty.

Such an amazing place to eat Wonton!! So good, delicious, & comforting. I went there for lunch as I was craving something hot on a snowy day, & this place… MY GOODNESS. You have to try it out when you have the chance! The worker was super friendly & put a lot of love preparing the dish. BONUS it's so affordable for the portion compared to other places! Great place to study too if you need a quiet place & not too busy.
Btw the prices are still the same as of Nov 11 2025.

Upon entering this place I wasn't sure what to expect, the owners are soft spoken & the place has no frills, which wasn't what we came here for anyway just pointing out my first impression, but onto the food:
So incredibly good! We got 2 soup wontons, & the broth was so light & delicious at the same time, I added a little chili oil into my broth for some spice, & the wontons themselves were plentiful & savory. Went perfectly well with the broth & chili oil.
But our favorite was the cold noodle, I think they called it Haricot Noir, it had roasted peanuts, diced carrots, & minced pork in a sauce that once mixed, was so good!
This is a place that looks simple when you enter but offers amazing food. Their menu is simple & everything is handmade. You do need to wait a bit since every dish is made to order. It's worth it. We completed going back just an hour after to have some again.
Best spot to try out wonton!!!
I got the wonton sauce sesame flavored pork & shrimp & it was delicious. Very flavourful & the service is very courteous & friendly staffs.
I was skeptical to try this place but I was pleasantly surprised! Got the pork Shanghai dumplings & it was very tasty & flavorful. It takes a bit for the food to come out but well worth it!
Menu is not extensive - they have like 4-5 dishes from what I can tell. It's also in Chinese so I have no idea what it says other than looking at the pics. I got the schezuan wonton sesame & the dumpling (meat/sticky rice) - both were delicious!! I didn't even need any dippings. Cheap too. Downside is it took forever to get these two orders. & there was only me (!) in there.
