| - Open late at night, Hong Shing is a popular spot for cheap Chinese grub. Although it looks a little underwhelming on the exterior and may be misinterpreted to be a run-down restaurant, it's actually surprisingly very clean and organized inside. In fact, the furniture is spotless and is in good shape. The only disorderly aspect you'll come across is the service. Our server last weekend didn't seem to give a hoot about us and he sloppily ''pushed'' food and dinnerware onto our table. There was no spillage and our orders were accurate, so he must have been a master of service that is terrible yet, at the same time, adequate enough not to be rant-worthy.
We were a party of four and so we got the dinner for four special (see my picture for the list of dishes). The dishes were all large in portion-size and had heaping amounts of meat. There's no doubt that for the cheap price you'll love this place if you're a hungry hippo. The caveat, however, is that the quality isn't exactly on point. Our dishes were oily and were either bland or heavy on the sauce. Therefore, if you eat here don't expect A+ food; you're going to get mass-produced cheap eats for a cheap price.
Since Hong Shing stays open until the wee hours of the morning, I would recommend it if you're getting the munchies at night. If you've been out drinking and need some grub in your tummy, you might as well hit this place up. It's budget-friendly enough not to break the bank after a night out. Just go with low expectations.
