Soup · Wonton · Pork-free
Eight chicken wontons in clear broth — the lighter of the two wonton soups. $10 for a full bowl with 8 wontons. The pork-free soup option and a clean, satisfying bowl that works as either a starter or a light main.
Wonton soup is one of the most direct dishes in Chinese cooking: the quality of the filling and the quality of the broth, with nothing else to hide behind. The chicken filling is seasoned simply — ground chicken, ginger, scallion, soy sauce, and a touch of sesame oil — because over-seasoning a wonton filling masks the chicken and makes every bite taste the same.
The broth is clear and chicken-based — light golden, clean-tasting, and designed to complement rather than dominate the wontons. The wonton wrappers are thin, which means the filling is the focus rather than a heavy dough exterior. Eight wontons per bowl puts this firmly in main-course territory for most appetites, or a shareable starter for two.
At $10 this is $1 less than the Pork & Shrimp Wonton Soup and the right choice when you want a lighter meal, are avoiding pork or shellfish, or simply want the cleaner flavor profile that chicken provides. The pork-shrimp version has more depth; the chicken version has more clarity.

Eight wontons at 380 calories makes this versatile. As a starter before dumplings and a wok dish, it opens the meal without filling the table. As a solo light meal, it's complete. Add Plain Noodle ($3.95) to the broth to make it a heavier main.
The most pork-free option in the soup section. The hot and sour soup is also pork-free, but this is the only pork-free wonton option. Relevant for diners observing dietary restrictions around pork.
Wontons sitting in hot broth absorb liquid and the wrappers soften quickly. Eat the wontons first while the wrappers are at their best texture — thin, slightly slippery, with the filling intact. The broth can be sipped throughout.
