This restaurant has five locations, including two that sit nearly across the street from one another. We visited the newer, larger, brighter Wondee Siam II. Start with the Wondee Sampler and enjoy beef and chicken sates with a hint of curry, peanut-flavored veg dumplings, and yummy garlic-enhanced dark fried vegan dumplings. Mango or spicy papaya salads offer strips of fruit in a light lime and chili vinaigrette. Wondee's special oyster sauce, with the lightest touch of chili paste, comes with various vegetables at lunchtime and string beans at dinner—plus choice of meat. In the never-seen-that-before category is the raspberry duck (with no veg). And Pad Thai, that old favorite, is perfect. Head across the street to the original Wondee Siam for duck spring rolls.
