The Sticker Shock: $6 for a Tiny Bowl
Let’s start with the elephant in the room, or should we say, the sting in the pocket? A single bowl of their Wanton Noodle sets us back a whopping six bucks. We don’t know about you, but for a noodle bowl that could double as a snack, it’s a bit steep, don’t you think?
CharSiew: The Hard-to-Chew Mystery
The first thing we dug into was the CharSiew, and boy, oh boy, it felt like we were chewing on a rubber tire! Tough and dry, it was like doing a workout for our jaws. And the taste? Well, it was more elusive than a unicorn at a rainbow convention—practically nonexistent.

Noodly Delight: Chewy and Tasty Noodles
But then, there’s the saving grace—the noodles. These chewy wonders were a delight. They held onto the sauce like it was their life’s mission. And speaking of sauce, Fei Fei’s mix is a classic: heavy on pork lard with a generous dash of chili oil. It’s like a time machine back to old-school Wanton Mee. If you’re a fan of the traditional flavors, you’re in for a treat.
Wontons and Soup: Plump and Flavorful
On the side, you get a bowl of Wanton soup with four plump parcels of goodness. These little pockets of joy were bursting with flavor. The soup, rich and briny, embraced them like a warm, salty hug.
The Verdict: Overpriced but Somewhat Tasty
So, here’s the deal: Fei Fei Wanton Mee serves up a decent bowl of Wanton Noodle with standout noodles and flavorful wantons. But the portion size and the CharSiew will leave your wallet feeling a little lighter. It’s a bit like a rollercoaster for your taste buds and your wallet.
