oh my god, you're taking me back! i LOVE wonton garden. i grew up on that stuff! if you like dumplings, a good place is Wang's in Somerville. they make GREAT northern chinese style dumplings (i'm not really a big fan of peking ravioli). i haven't really found a place like wonton garden up here in boston :( that just means i'll have to keep looking! if you hit up asian garden during the daytime, the owner and chef, ka wah fong, is around and he is VERY accomodating and could probably make you what you're looking for. when my family came up here to visit me a while back, he prepared a bunch of special dishes for us that weren't on the menu.

the pho pasteur in chinatown is the original one. the one in harvard sq is no longer associated with the one in chinatown and changed it's name to Le's (something like that). the pho is pretty good there. i don't know if one is necessarily better than the other, but you're more likely to see more asian families eating at the original one in chinatown. i used to live in chinatown and am more familiar with the menu there. i've only been to the one in harvard sq twice.
