Wonderland's Szechuan Red Oil Wonton Is a Carnivore's Must
Wonderland opened in the Lower Haight in July, a welcome spot that fills a big void for Chinese food on Haight street. The menu is a spiral-bound miniature binder that, like many places of its ilk, contains a dizzying amount of choices, including a whole section devoted to meatless chicken and a sauce on the side "healthy" corner of steamed items. This is a vegetarian-friendly place for sure, but if you're eating meat, one appetizer worth ordering is the red oil wonton.

Wonderland is faithful to this Szechuan classic. Little boiled dumplings are filled with minced pork and ginger doused in chili oil and sprinkles of green onion and served in a small bowl. The bark is much worse than the bite; spice freaks might even add some chili paste to perk it up even more. Six dumplings cost $4.95, and will probably leave you wanting another order; they'll disappear quickly.
Unfortunately, there isn't a vegetarian-version of this wonton available here, but it's Wonderland so one can dream that it could be a future possibility.
