Allston's culinary landscape just gained a hefty dose of dumpling delight. The neighborhood, known for its eclectic food scene, is now home to Gigantic Wonton, a restaurant promising a fresh take on traditional Chinese cuisine. Foodies and locals alike have been eager to find out what will fill the void left by The Fish Market, the former sushi haunt that shut its doors last autumn.

The new spot which opened its doors on Brighton Avenue has already started to draw a crowd. Gigantic Wonton has taken over the same space at 170 Brighton Avenue, and it's not just the name that's making a big impression. The menu boasts an array of mouth-watering options: wonton soup, crispy wonton, wonton lo mein, and Hong Kong style dumpling soup—just to start. But it doesn't end there; diners can also indulge in braised beef stew, curry fish ball, and egg custard bun, among other delicacies, reports Boston Restaurants Blog.

For those concerned about the quality and source of their food, the team behind Gigantic Wonton has a clear message. They're dedicated to serving "healthy, fresh and natural dishes" in line with "modern customer’s tastes and needs," as noted on their website. Their commitment extends to using "only the freshest of ingredients of the highest quality," ensuring each dish not only tastes good but also meets high standards of quality and presentation. The primary ingredients, according to the eatery's official website, include fresh seafood, meats, and vegetables.

It's about more than just food, though; it's the story of revitalization and continued tradition on Brighton Avenue. Gigantic Wonton symbolizes a seamless transition from the beloved sushi spot that was to a new frontier in Asian cuisine that is. While The Fish Market may have set sail from the Allston food scene, Gigantic Wonton has anchored itself firmly in its stead, hoping to earn the same loyal following that its predecessor enjoyed, and perhaps, even more.
