Hong Shing has been my go-to spot for the best Chinese food in Toronto for over 25 years, and it’s all about their Chinese styled lobsters. Their “Spicy Dry Lobster” isn’t just good; it’s the kind of dish you dream about. It’s packed with flavor without being too hot to handle.
Thanks to Ubereats, enjoying Hong Shing’s delights has become even easier. No more battling for parking on Dundas West just to get my fix.
And it’s not just the lobster. Their Cantonese Fried Noodle and even the mixed veggies are top-notch. Trust me, even your kids will be asking for seconds on the greens. The chefs at Hong Shing? They’ve got some serious skills.
If you’re thinking of dining in, Hong Shing is a casual spot, perfect for when you’re craving authentic Chinese food without the fuss.

Ordered sweet and sour pork lunch special - good portion, just the pineapple is a bit sour than I expected.
Reasonable price considering the location.

I was disappointed because I ordered the food with Uber eats
My order was Rice noodles with beef, and I paid for more beef and paid more for change to noodles plus paid more to add shrimps. What I got was only Beef and rice
Not happy.

If you’re a dog that likes bones … go here. I had the worst experience !! The roasted du k was ALLL BONES and rice . Even the lobster I used to get her for so long is now not a full lobster but lobster bits and shell. Hot and sour soup had nothing but Broth and random bits …. AVOID THIS PLACE ! I used to be a super fan but since COVID…. They turned money hungry and quality is WAYYYY LOW. Try SWATOW for your duck. This place is tired and it shows. 0/10
Absolutely disgusted with my order, shrimp wasn’t deveined so I had to throw the shrimp in the garbage, $19.
The noodles were raw, I was supposed to pour a broth over them to soften them, $17.
I’ll never order take out there again, I need food ready to eat not to assemble myself. Not worth the money if half goes into the garbage and I have to prepare myself at work. Defeats the purpose of “take out”.
I wouldn’t recommend this place.

This is pretty much the high point of Chinese food, adjusted to Canadian tastes, where nothing is really unusual. But it goes far beyond what you can expect at your fast food Chinese food where sweet and sour chicken balls and chop suey reign supreme.
As someone who has eaten Chinese food for much of my life, and I've had the real deal, cooked by my father, eaten at some pretty fine Chinese high-end restaurants, this is a place where I'm happy to take people that want a good meal, filling, and not too weird.....
If you want something more authentic, there are other places, with menus in Chinese (and I can't read Chinese), and service that can be marginal, at best. Service here is efficient, and reminiscent of most Chinese diners. My grandfather owned a Canadian Chinese restaurant, and he'd like this place.
Hong Shing for the win. ;-)

Great food! We got the crispy beef, general tao chicken, fried egg noodles, and fried rice (not sure what specific soup we got). The servers were also very friendly!
