Canton Noodle House

This is a solid place. Never disappoints and super fast service. They have a rice noodle option for your gluten free needs as well. Always get the sui kau with lots of veggies. Tried the donuts today and they are wonderful dipped in the broth. You can also get wonton or sui kau from the freezer to take home and make it yourself when you have the craving! This is a great alternative to Mike’s Noodle House, which is always reliable and just as delicious if you have time to wait. There’s a parking lot to the south of the «House» and while this place looks kind of sketchy from the outside, it’s bright and inviting on the inside.

My mom has been getting her wonton noodle fix here since I can remember. I know the location can be intimidating for those not familiar with the International District but trust me, it’s what comes in the bowl is what matters. I always get the wonton noodle soup. I never add anything to it like pepper or chili paste because I don’t like to mask the flavor of the wontons. They are handmade every day! Not sure if the noodles are also hand made, I would assume they may as well be.
This particular check-​in I got the wonton noodle soup with a side of veggies. The veggies just makes the soup more well rounded. The nice thing about the veggies is that they are just lightly steamed so you still get some crunch. I think it’s Chinese broccoli. It’s so good though with the soup!
What is also great is the price, everything is very reasonable. I’ve always taken mine to go, the soup is super hot when they give it to you so that by the time you get home (I live in Puyallup, mom lives in Kent) it’s still pretty warm. We like to heat the broth up in a saucepan before eating so the noodles can flow freely in our bowls.
I’ve been to the Canton Wonton House, which is on Weller. That one is good too, but this one is much better so don’t get them mixed up be cause their names are pretty similar. The family is super nice! The mom was making wontons while the young gentleman (son maybe?) was ringing people up and taking care of the customers dining in. So friendly and their service is fast! Don’t have to wait too long for your soup.
I wouldn’t come here for ambiance or for a romantic date. This is a legit noodle house, you come here hungry and cold, you leave full to the brim and warm. I love this place and can’t wait to come back. My mom is pretty good when it comes to food, so if she loves it, you should love it too! :)

If you want the best wonton in Seattle, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. I’ve been eating here since childhood and this place never disappoints me, I can tell you. Don’t let the interior fool you, the food here is delicious! I always get the plain wonton soup with Chinese doughnut on the side and it’s really good! They handmade their wontons everyday so it is fresh to eat for the customers and they even have frozen wontons to go if you want to make some at home. Their broth is okay and same goes with their noodles. My boyfriend really like the Beef Brisket Wonton Noodle soup, so I recommend getting that too. :)

Brisket, tendon, sui kau egg noodle soup at our favorite Chinese noodle joint. This is a family establishment and the mom is so sweet to everyone. If you’re over the inconsistencies and BS attitude at Mike’s, this is the spot for you.
Combined with delicious noodles and generous portions makes this an easy choice for weekend breakfasts.

The egg noodle and brisket was very good. I was not loving the soup for it was a bit bland than what I am use to. The wontons you can tell were fresh, but not my taste. It had big chunks of bamboo inside that I’m sure most people like. Other than that the lady that served me was super sweet. I probably wouldn’t go back for the food, but loved the staff

I got their #12, wonton suikao noodle soup. This bit of a hole-​in-​the-​wall place was amazing! I actually liked it better than Mike’s noodle house. The lady sits at the table by the kitchen and makes the wontons… and you can also buy frozen ones to take home! The soup was warm without oily sticky after taste, and noodle was cooked perfect. Regular size is enough, and it comes to about $ 10 including tax and tip! There’s also a lot adjacent to the house you can park!

I love this lil noodle house. Nothing fancy & the price is decent. If busy, you could be sitting next to a stranger. You probably won’t care because you will be enjoying The food!
Its a cash only establishment, and the nearest walking distance bank machine is far.

Really neat father and son shop! Al dente noodles and made fresh! Truly a place to try and support small businesses.
The wontons were made fresh and so were the noodles. I love how they have many different kinds of noodles for you to choose. The soup was so tasty and not loaded up with MSG like other noodle shops. Wonderful service by the son. Everything was perfection.

I came here because I was close by and I needed some food quick while I was waiting for my mom while she was grocery shopping. I’ve never came here before and I looked up a restaurant close by and this was the first one. Fortunately, it was pretty good! I got a wonton beef brisket noodle soup to go and it was pretty filling. The taste was good, and customer service was also pretty good! The wait time was about 10 minutes, so it wasn’t as fast as I hoped it would be, that was the only negative part. The wontons were good, but average sized. But they gave you more wontons that other noodle houses give you. Also their beef brisket was really good! Overall, great place, but definitely not the best.

So sad to be leaving a 2 start review.
I remember eating here as a child with my mother. I was feeling nostalgic today and wanted to revisit my childhood.
The broth lacked flavor. Noodles were too chewy, the mini wontons had a nice flavor but is incomparable to Mikes Noodle House. Not to mention, as I was paying the lady making the wonton dumplings handled my money without washing her hands. I hope she doesn’t cross contaminate. Yuck.
The only upside is service was quick and the soup came out pipping hot. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

Not gonna name names, but the wonton isn’t as good as some other noodle place A in Chinatown. And the noodles DEFINITELY isn’t as good as some other, different, noodle place B in Chinatown. The broth isn’t good as noodle place B, neither, but the broth is better than place A.
Sigh… Can’t there be a place in Seattle with the excellent wonton, egg noodle, and broth simultaneously? Life is so hard. It’s like these businesses are colluding to create an oligopoly, which would make so much more money if they decided to make a monopoly on that wonton egg noodle game in Seattle.
It’s like those various schools of martial arts in those kung fu movies, snake style vs praying mantis style. The wonton egg noodle soup at these different places have their pros and their cons. We need a single noodle house in Seattle that is like an MMA fighter and can make decent wonton, broth, and noodles… at the same time.
The lady here is really nice though!

Been here quite a few times for their frozen wun-​tuns and sui gaos. They are the best! Put those up in your instant noodles at home and they are so good! Each time we purchase these frozen dumplings, they run out so fast.
Prices are good.
The lady that works there is friendly.
Ate there once for dinner and it was great!
Definitely a good alternative to Mike’s Noodle House.
Location for it is not so busy.
Take-​out is available and good to-​go.

Good wonton soup noodle! Beef brisket was a little fatty. Parking could be challenging. Pricey for small bowl of noodle soup $ 8.95.

Love their salted pork congee (sans Century egg) with the addition of ginger, chili oil, and Chinese doughnut. Cash only as others have mentioned. Home made Wonton & Sui-​Kau for sale but sadly I’m allergic to shellfish & can’t partake. Their broth is made with shrimp so no noodle soups for me.

They served me rancid noodles (had that slight ammonia smell). Definitely would not go back. This was a few months back.

Bomb noodles. I would love to give 5 stars for this small tiny restaurant over anywhere else in this vicinity. Sui-​kau and wonton are very well-​prepare and taste like heaven. I’m not the person of kidney or liver before, but this place just turned me over and now I came here for a well-​done kidney and liver dish. Super delicious and okay price. Bowl looks small but it’s giant believe me. Soup are pretty perfect cooked, and very tasty. I would recommend this restaurant over the others since I didn’t really enjoy other places as much as this place. I have come back here a lot after the first time and will go here for a windy, cold winter day with a hot bowl of noodles. Fantastic!

The ambiance and atmosphere at this place is pretty dreadful, but the food does make this place up to three stars for me. The restaurant itself it just a whole in the wall and not very big in size. It just didn’t have that clean feeling which makes me cringe sometimes when I walk into a restaurant.
My gf and I both ordered the Century old eggs and diced pork congee. It was came in a nice big bowl and it was filing with lots of ingredients inside. It was not watery like most places and had a good overall flavor to the whole meal. One of the best congee I have had at a restaurant in awhile. The menu isn’t very extensive as they stick to mostly to wonton noodle soups and congee as the main selling points.
The Chinese doughnut wasn’t very good as it was not warm and I could tell it was probably left over from the previous day. It was kind of hard and didn’t have that soft texture of a doughnut if made on the same day. Since we were there pretty early when they first open I could see that we could’ve gotten some day old stuff.
One good thing is that they also have a small parking lot just to the right of the restaurant, but filled with big potholes. Good for not having to look for parking if going to Chinatown which is terrible sometimes.
Price point wasn’t bad and we were able to get our food with not much of a wait. I am undecided if I would return since there are other congee places in Chinatown I haven’t tried plus they need a remodel.

I’ve been here ever since I was a kid, love love love ! Super good congee guys! The texture is great and perfect amount of ginger for a perfect smell of warmth. Nice and clean environment, parking a bit annoying but other than that come and enjoy their food ^_^

One of many noodle houses in Seattle near the International District. Their menu describes all the ingredients in their soup broth, and yes they DO disclose use of MSG.
I ordered the combo won ton and Sui Kau noodle soup. Noodles were chewy and the won tons were tasty. I found the Sui Kau extremely salty for some reason. It had ground porks and wood ear mushrooms, but for some reason they over seasoned it.
Wife had the fish congee — she enjoyed it. Would stick to the basic wonton and avoid the Sui Kau next time.

Great noodles and wontons. They also sell frozen wontons you can take home. For those not accustomed to noodle house style diners, it smells very strong. It’s because the broth is full of seafood and stewing all day in the kitchen.
