Yakumo

At Yakumo, the first choice is which broth to have with your wonton noodles: white or black. Some diners have remarked on the seafood flavour and savoury depth of the white broth, while the black broth offers a richer soy-sauce profile. To try both, you can order a mix.

Part of the pleasure is comparing the two kinds of wonton, filled with pork and prawn. Diners have described the thin wrappers as smooth and slippery, the pork filling as satisfying, and the prawn as springy. Reports also note the ginger flavour in the pork wontons and the bouncy texture of the prawn. Savour the differences in each filling alongside the broth-soaked skins.

Thin noodles are the standard option, though diners have reported being able to switch to flat, wavy noodles. Choose thin noodles to enjoy them with the broth, or try the flatter noodles for their rippled texture. Seating is at the counter, and there can be a wait around lunchtime, so allow extra time.
