Leon’s Wonton & Noodle
10634 - 97 Street
Edmonton AB
Diner
What this diner lacks in décor it gains in spirit and QPR (Quality Price Ratio). For solid inexpensive, authentic Chinese food, it rates. From soups to noodles to rice dishes, they are used to feeding the locals in Chinatown. And the locals do NOT want to pay more than they have to. Being naturally thrifty, David and I love it. Warning…they only accept cash.
Read the menu under the glass plate covering the table….try to decide what you want.
The Dinner
There are over 100 items on the menu and David is determined to try them all. Recently, they revised their menu and took pork oviduct out of the offerings before he could try it. They were incredulous that he noticed! So we try to change it up every time. It doesn’t work. There are some things too good not to have again. Their beef soups with noodles and greens are wonderful. The Singapore noodles are piled high and fragrant with curry. One day, a family came in, sat down and placed their order. It took a while for their order to come, but we watched as the cook left by the front door, insert pregnant pause here, soon he returned with a plastic bag from next door; barbeque duck soup all around for the family. It is mighty fine. We tried it on another visit. The seafood is fresh. The pigs’ feet are done with the right amount of five spice. The gai lan with oyster sauce is wonderful. It is all simple and done well.
Try it. We think you’ll like it.

Beef chowmein with broccoli is our favorite. We prefer the broccoli as it tends to not get as overcooked from time to time as the baby bok choy. For a second dish? Beef chow mein with broccoli.
