Edison, NJ is one of my personal hunting grounds when it comes to great, cheap eats. This international township is one of the most diverse places in the state, with large Asian immigrant enclaves making their mark on the area - and opening countless delicious restaurants! One of those is the best noodle shop in Edison, NJ - Wonton Guy. You might have passed this one by a dozen times and not seen it, because it's tucked into a nondescript storefront in a strip mall, minutes away from the sprawling H-Mart supermarket. Inside, it's a true hole-in-the-wall, with only ten tables. But they're normally packed at lunchtime, doing a brisk business in take-out and dine-in orders, because the Hong Kong-style noodle soups served here are a delicious, filling treat.
Hidden away in a humble storefront, Wonton Guy is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall gem.
This Hong Kong-style noodle shop has fancy wall art evoking the bustling city, but inside, it's fairly tiny - with only ten tables for diners.
During lunch, it will be packed - not just with diners, but with a busy takeout business. And after one look at the small menu, it's not hard to see why.
The most unique item on the menu is the fish skin chips - essentially pork rinds made with salmon skin. Get a bowl for the table and see who appreciates it!
The headline item here, though, is the noodle soups. Pick your noodle, then customize your toppings - you can have one, two, or three toppings.
Your choices are lean sliced beef, fatty beef brisket, fish balls, pork-and-mushroom dumplings, or shrimp-and-pork wontons.
Away from the noodle soups, you'll find a surprising array of authentic Hong Kong dishes that are pretty hard to find outside of big-city Chinatowns.
There are so many ways to have a unique meal here, it's no surprise that people come back to this tiny restaurant time and time again.
