Homemade wontons, quick friendly service, and a cozy Sablon setting; soups can run mild and portions are modest, but lunch combo is strong value.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Wantany delivers solid neighborhood dumpling dining with homemade wontons and comforting broths that earn consistent praise, supported by warm, attentive service and a charming Sablon location. However, flavor consistency varies—broths lean mild for some palates, and occasional off-days with undercooked dumplings prevent higher performance. Fair lunch pricing and welcoming atmosphere make it competitive with the area's better casual restaurants, though modest portions and peak-hour service strain limit broader appeal.
Restaurant Summary
On a pretty Sablon street, Wantany feels cozy and welcoming with handmade dumplings on display and a buzzy lunch crowd. Service is often warm and quick, and a bowl of wonton soup reads comforting more than fiery. One diner put it simply: "crispy dumplings hit the spot, the broth leans gentle." The cooking leans classic Cantonese comfort with a tight menu: steamed or fried wontons, noodle soups, and a few sides like lotus root fries. Expect clean, delicate flavors over heavy spice; fried scampi wontons and mango sago stand out. Portions are modest and drinks can feel pricey, but the lunch combo offers solid value for the area. For families, there are kid-friendly choices like fried dumplings and rice, mild noodle soups, and mochi for dessert. No explicit kids menu appears, and true vegan options are very limited due to egg-based wrappers and noodles, so plan accordingly.
