I will be traveling to Hong Kong main island in a few weeks and I want to find the best Wonton Noodles that locals visit. I want to know the authentic local places, none of the tourist traps. I can't speak Cantonese but can read and speak a little Mandarin.

Law Fu Kee is a small noodles and congee (porridge) restaurant. This is more like a fast-food type restaurant, meaning that you go in, order, eat and leave. Also, be prepare to share tables with other customers in these small type restaurants.
The noodles taste incredibly good, as well as the shrimp dumplings ! I miss it when I'm away from HK. I think that portion is rather generous compared to other noodles restaurant. Shui Jiao mian (shrimp dumpling noodles soup but it is not wonton noodles soup) It is the best I've found in Hk so far. A bowl of shrimp dumplings or wonton noodles cost around HKD 18.

I have try the following place and it's good. There are others but it's difficult to get the exact locations.
Most Hong Kong style cafe ( tea diners ) would have decent wonton noodles. And there are literally hundreds of them spread out all over the city.

Although called Wonton in English, the word is actually pronounced as 'wuntun', in Cantonese. Many restaurants with the words 'Wonton House' in their names use the 'Wuntun' spelling, thus becoming 'Wuntun Houses', 'Wun Tun Houses', or 'Wun-tun Houses'.
Wonton is a thin 10-cm square lye-water pastry wrapper (made of wheat flour, water, salt, and lye), filled with savory minced meat. The filling is usually made of minced pork/beef/mutton, or coarsely diced shrimp/prawns, along with finely minced ginger, finely minced onions, sesame oil and soy sauce.
Wontons are served boiled in soups, or deep fried with rice or noodles.
But 'wanton noodles' ? I hope you mean wanton and noodles : Hongkong's Cha Chaan Teng serve inexpensive wonton noodles, and vermicelli (rice noodles), fried eggs, rice dumplings and congee, but the menu varies each day.
The street-corner Dai pai dong stalls were once common, but are now close to extinction - due to strict sanitary regulations and bureaucratic licensing.
There are also many fast food restaurants serving Chinese dishes, such as Maxim's and Café de Coral which offer wanton and noodles.
Happy hunting, friend !
