3.5/5  "Its story about a young Chinese woman, Ah Na, who has come to New York City to replace past tragedy with the American Dream is one that any art-house moviegoer is likely to find compelling."
-- Kim Williamson, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

3.5/5  "Ong's promising debut is a warm and well-told tale of one recent Chinese immigrant's experiences in New York City."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

  "Most consumers of lo mein and General Tso’s chicken barely give a thought to the folks who prepare and deliver it, so, hopefully, this film will attach a human face to all those little steaming cartons."
-- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

1/5  "Ong chooses to present Ah Na's life as a slight, weightless fairy tale, whose most unpleasant details seem to melt away in the face of the character's blank-faced optimism."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES

  "The central character isn't complex enough to hold our interest."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

  "Call it magic realism or surrealism, but Miss Wonton floats beyond reality with a certain degree of wit and dignity."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER

  "The movie barely makes sense, with its unbelievable naïveté and arbitrary flashbacks."
-- Ed Park, VILLAGE VOICE

1/4  "A baffling mixed platter of gritty realism and magic realism with a hard-to-swallow premise."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST

2/4  "Suggests puns about ingredients and soup and somebody being off their noodle, but let's just say the ingredients don't quite add up to a meal."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
