Very convenient breakfast! Great price! I'll buy it again.
The mini wontons are suitable for children, and they taste pretty good. I buy them occasionally.
Great as expected
It is good quality. Followed the described recipe and boiled it for 3 minutes.
Making now and can’t wait to try.
Something new
Prefer the other two, I can't tell anything special about this one.
It's a must-try; the soup base is very flavorful, and it's easy to make.
Poor quality ingredients; you can find finely ground pork bones in the food, it's disgusting.
It's very affordable, I really like it and I'll definitely buy it again!
Hopefully this taste good
These wontons are quite delicious; they can be used in soups or noodles.
I cooked wontons as a main dish, added two pieces of homemade stewed beef, and some greens—it was simply perfect!
I bought two different brands of Hong Kong-style wontons from Weee. I prefer this one, but it's also more expensive.
I'll buy it again; I'll stock up on several packs at the special price.
Keeping them warm during transport was a real problem. When I opened them, they were all stuck together like a pancake. Luckily, they separated after boiling in water for a while. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to eat them. The wontons tasted good, and the soup was very flavorful.
This is too salty, way too salty!
My second purchase was great! I'll definitely buy again.
So far, the best wontons on Weee.
First time buying, hope it tastes good. Special price.
Because there was so much of it, it was difficult to use it all up once it was thawed.
can't wait to eat
Delivered frozen.
This is my first time buying these wonton wrappers. I'm looking forward to it!
Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious
This is my first time buying wonton wrappers here. I hope they taste good!
I tried cooking it and was satisfied. The batter was thin and delicious.
Buying pork to make wonton filling is just too much!
It was delivered safely.
I've bought these countless times; they're my favorite wonton wrappers, the perfect thickness.
Wonton soup is so delicious!!!
The boiled wontons were really good!!! Delicious!
Good size perfect for wonton
It’s thin but not easily breakable. It makes perfect wonton.
This is great for making wontons!!!
It looks good; it was still cold when it was delivered, even though it's so hot.
I bought more; I place my order regularly every week.
These wonton wrappers are so good I'll definitely buy them again! They're chewy, hold up well to overcooking, and the size and thickness are just right.
Decent quality
I used it to make chive, egg, and glass noodle stir-fry, a summer favorite—a refreshing and convenient homemade dish!
