Noodles Stewed with Young Curry Chicken at HK WONTON GARDEN
HK Wonton Garden on Mulberry Street is a Brown family staple. I even feel a little conflicted telling you about it tbh. It is already too crowded sometimes. My parents would take us to Chinatown almost every Sunday of my youth to get “wonton and noodle soup” which for me was just “noodle soup” because I was a picky eater. The noodles are unbeatable, but I couldn’t go my whole life just ordering “noodle soup,” so when I was a teen my high school boyfriend (big shouts Chris) and I decided to broaden our horizons and take a chance on “Noodles Stewed with Young Curry Chicken,” (mostly because of it's funny borderline-unappetizing name) and I’ve never looked back. It's my favorite dish in NYC and what I order every time.  And that's not changing anytime soon.
