Hong Shing Restaurant

I recently ordered takeout from Hong Shing and tried a variety of dishes including chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice, snow pea leaf, General Tao chicken, sweet and sour pork, chicken balls, and deep-fried squid. While I found most of the dishes to be okay, I did have some issues with the General Tao chicken, which had a lot of chewy batter pieces, possibly because it didn’t carry well for takeout. The chicken balls also had slightly overdone and dry batter, and the deep-fried squid had a chewy texture as well. Despite these drawbacks, I enjoyed the rest of the meal and would definitely come back to try the restaurant in person.

I would give zero if I could. I ordered for this spicy squid and the squid was so chewy that my jaw is still hurting from chewing it. I asked for the order to be replaced and they replaced the order with fried shrimp but still they charged me for the squid that I didn’t eat. Expensive restaurant but bad food.

I went 45 mins before closing and they were extremely receptive of us. Service was top notch and food was delicious. Large portions and reasonably priced. The vibes were also great (mostly hip hop music playing while I was there). Will for sure be coming back.

Went here for their happy hour which is daily from 5 - 7 p.m. Sat at the bar and our server Ranger was a great server and bartender. He explained the cocktails (flavors and ingredients) and was very friendly while the restaurant was busy. I recommend the pineapple baiju. We ordered the wings which are a really good deal (half price) and tried the honey garlic, which was on the sweeter side which I liked. I would come back to try the other flavors. The dim sum options are ok, not worth it to me as you get a very small portion. Overall great service, good food and I would come back.

Had the lunch set menu which was $18 for select appetizers (three soups to choose from) and an entrée: some kind of meat dish or vegetarian dish with rice or stir-fried noodles. Great value for the amount of food you get and pretty decent quality. Service was fine - need additional prompting sometimes because they take a while, but okay if you’re not in too much of a rush.
